In the southern Philtpuine..

Manila, Sept. 21.-Cable reports from
noilo concerning the results of Gen.
Bates second trip among the southern
islands, indicate that only about 400
rebels at Zamboanga refuse to recog-
nize American authority. Pending the
outcome of the Island of Luzon, the city
of Zamboanga is practically deserted.
The rebels are in camp, fur miles in the
country. The Moros and Filipinos are
unfriendly, and disturbances between
them are liable to occur. Jolo is quiet,
and the >natives continue friendly.

the family was William H., father Of
Cornelius, and the latter, succeeded to
theleadership after the formers death.
William x. Vanderbilt is the new head

THERE are to-day about 800 women
ministers in the United States. In
America the ministry is being more
used by women as profession than
the law. The great value of women
ministers in America is for scattered
parts that can not possibly afford to
support man. They can maintain a
woman minister. The chief opposition
to women pastors comes from minis
tiers OF the poorer and least qualified
class. OF course, the older and more
conservative ministers, bishops and the
like do not look with much pleasure on
. woman in the pulpit.

In ali article on Indian names NJ
Frank Terry comments ON the odd effect
produced by giving rein to this fancy
for distinguished appellations in the re-
naming of Indians. Often their native
names are unpronounceable and the
translations long and not in accordance
with our ideas of what IS pleasing. So,
instead of simply turning Bear-Sits
Down or Mule-Kicks-Up or Jumping
Rabbit into English. the Indian is re-
named entirely, and is given the first
famous name that comes to mind.
William Penn, Fitz-Hugh Lee, Da-
vid 3. Hill and William Shakespeare, "
says Mr.. Terry. "are policemen at the
Shoshone agency, Wyoming. Only
short while ago it was reported that ON

enceavdr mas been made by Germany
to differentiate the attitude of Great
Britain from that Of the United States
in the Samoan affair is the fact that
Germany is engaged in difficult COM
mercial negotiations with the United
States and that Chauvinist attacks on
America might have awkward conse.
quences.
Baron Won EueIow was careful in the
reichstag Friday TO make it clear that
the United States had not opposed Ger
many's proposal for unanimity. and that
the Marquis of Salisbury alone offered
objections until an assent was wrung
from him. All the English papers were
opposed to unanimity. declaring that
the commission could never under such
circumstances come to an agreement.
The Speaker says: The rule of unan-
unity on any point is hardly reasonable.
but the ruleCf absolute uaanimity s un-
workable" The Spectator expresses the
belief that the rule of unanimity ap-
pears to be intended to reduce the COM
mission to a mere group of reporters"
The most remarkable feature of the
comment Of the German press is the
united daily onslaught made by the en-
tire agrarian, anti-Semite and part of
the Conservative and National Liberal
press on the cabinet, and especially en-
the minister of foreign affairs. Won
Buslow. who is charged with following
a vaoillatins policy and yielding too
much to British insolence and Yankee
impudence. But the great noise of the
agrarian press and its allies ought not
to deceive people into the belief that
they represent public opinion. They are
merely the blatant minority. Neither the
emperor Lor the government have al
lowed themselves to be Influenced by
these mischief-makers.
