Reed is an omniVorouS reader today

Satiate devourer of novels which hold

In poetry he delights in Tennyson,

gets more enjoyment than anybody else

Men of Prominence Addressed a Chi

Chicago, Ill, May central Music
hall was Sunday AFTERNOON filled with
an audience gathered to protest against
the course of the administration with
reference to the Philippine Islands
Once or twice the proceedings were in
terrupted by protests of those who dis
agreed with the sentiments of the
speakers.
Professor ]. Lawrence Laughlin of the
University of Chicago, in speaking of
the national policy toward the Filipinos,
said:
There the flag is the emblem of
tyranny and butchery."
Cries of treason" came from the
gallery, but the cries were quickly
drowned out by approving cheers.
When Bishop J. L. Spaulding of Pc
oria declared that England had never
been a friend of this country an Eng
aishman near the platform cried, That's
a lie!" Without noticing the interrupt
ton the bishop continued his address.
DIR. Henry Wade Rodgers, president of
Northwestern university, acted as chair
man of the meeting. Besides him, the
speakers were Professor Laughlin,
Bishop Spaulding, Doctor Jenkin Lloyd

victions upon great questions of public
policy is vital to the health and even
to the preservation of representative
government. Such expression is, there
ZenS.
I'VE hold that the policy known as
imperialism is hostile to liberty and
tends to militarfSm, an evil from which
it has been our glory to be free. We re-
greet that it is now necessary in the
land of Washington and Lincoln to re-
affirm that all men, of whatever race or
color are entitled to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. We still main
tain that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned. We insist that the fOrcible sub
jugation of a purchased people is Grim
inaI aggression and open dislOyalty to
the distinctive principles of our govern
ment-
I'VE honor our soldiers and sailors in
the Philippine Islands for their unques-
toned bravery; and We mourn with the
whole nation for the American lives
that have been sacrificed. Their duty
was obedience to orders; our duty is
diligent inquiry and fearless protest.
We hold that our own government Gre
ated the conditions which have brought
about the sacrifice.
I'VE earnestly condemn the policy of
the present national administration in
the Philippines. It is the spirit of '76
that our government is striving to ex
tinguish in those islands; we denOunce
the attempt and demand its abandon
ment.- We deplore and resent the
slaughter of the FilipinOS as a needless
horror, a deep dishonor to our nation.
We protest against the extension of
American empire by Spanish methods.
and demand the immediate cessation of
the war, against liberty, begun by Spain
and continued by US. We believe that
foolish pride is the chief obstacle to
speedy settlement of all difficulties. AS
Mr.. Gladstone said in England, We
are strong enough to cast
aside all consideration of false shame
walking in the plain and simple
ways of right and justice
"Our government should at once an
nounce to the Fflipinos it's purpose to
grant them, under proper guarantees
of order, the independence for which
they have so long fought, and should
seek by diplomatic methods to secure
this independence by the common con-
sent of nations. 1t is today as true of
the Filipinos as it was a year ago of the
Cubans. that they are, and of right
ought to be, free and independent

WHEN HE GOT THE NEWS.
How Dewey Received the Information
That He Was an Admiral

By E. Wildman, Manila Correspondent
of LeSlie's Weekly.
Manila March 81 had the good for
tune to be aboard the flagship Olympia
Friday, March 8, at 80 p. m, when Ad-
miral Dewey received the first cable
gram confirming the favorable action
of the senate upon his appointment as
admiral. Only few hours before, Cap
tain Lamberton's face was rather long,
for he feared the senate would not pass
upon the nomination at this session.
Just then an orderly entered the cap
tain'S apartments.
Il have to report, sir, the admiral's
boat is alongside" the orderly ratified
off in a machine-1ike monotone.
The captain left US and went to the
gangway to receive the admiral Mr.
John Barrett, our minister to Siam, was
with me at the time, and we heard Cap
tain Lamberton tell Admiral Dewey
that there was a cablegram for him
which had just been sent out by the
captain of the port. An orderly was dis
patched for it and seemed to be a long
time gone, for L imagine Admiral
Dewey's intuitive powers were at work
and he suspected the truth.
THAT fellows a mighty long time
about it, the admiral broke out, i'm
patiently.
Captain Lamberton had offered his con-
gratulations, Mr.. Barrett and myself
were invited aft by the gangway, where
the admiral still stood. He greeted US
1 had the honor of being the first
civilian to offer my congratulations.
Captain Lamberton has told you"
Admiral Dewey replied. Have you seen
the telegram
1 answered in the negative, and the
admiral spoke up:
Orderly, hand me that message. Here
it isl he added, enthusiastically. 1T is
from my friend Hearst. 1 think 1 will
preserve the dispatch for myself. It's
the best news L have had
The dispatch congratulated Admiral
Dewey upon the senate's confirmation
of his appointment. and said that the
writer, w. r. Hearst, hoped to see him
live to enjoy the highest honor the peo-
pie could bestow upon hin-the presi-
dency of the United States-despite his
unwillingness.
Admiral Dewey is a thorough Ameri-
can, and did not attempt to disguise
his pleasure at the receipt of the good
news in which we all shared with good
wishes. Nor in the excitement of the
moment did he forget his guests. He
congratulated Mr.. Barrett upon his ad-
dresses in Shanghai, Kobe and Hong
Kong, and told him that he had pre-
served the papers containing his re-
marks to lay them before the Philip
pine commission. General Anderson's
yacht came alongside, and as the gem
eral came aboard we beat a retreat,
leaving them together.
