orty-Loving Tagal Leaders.
Washington, Oct. 2s.-One Of tho
presidents callers recently was the
Rev. Father Robert McKinnon, known
as ''the soldier priest" the chaplain OF
the First California.
Father McKinnon said that General
Luna, who was killed by Aguinaldo's
order while trying to break into the in
surgent leaders quarters, twas the
most brilliant man in the insurgent
army, and he was murderer. He
murdered his wife and mothcr-in-law
in Paris and fled to the Philippines.
General Pho del Pillar" continued
Father McKinnon, 'who is said to have
applied to the Americans for bride, is
horse-thief and convict and an all
round outcast.
1.-THE only really honest man who aid
ed in starting the rebellion was Pa
terno, who was then a newspaper edi-
tor in Manila He sent his family there
before l left and was expecting to come
himself as soon as he could get away
from the insurgents. One by one the
insurgent leaders are dropping away
and all their strength is concentrated
in one man-Aguinaldo. Of the orig
inal number of leaders but one of i'm
portance remains-Mabino, the hunch-
back lawyer. Mabino is not much over
four feet in height. He has an unenvi-
able record and is rs great villain as
the Others"
Father McKinnon declared that no
American general could have done bet
ter than General Otis, who, he said, had
accomplished wonders, when the OBJ
stacles were considered. 1t would, he
added, be mistake to relieve Otis of
command The insurrection would
have ended in April except for the en-
enlargement given to the rebels by the
anti-expansionists, he said. The worst
of the war was over, though there
would be guerilla warfare for some time
to come. Father McKinnon will return
to Manila with Archbishop Chappelle.

States. OF the clerical, or life, members,
but one was graduated less than forty
| years ago. some must be quite as old as
| the retiring president, two must be de-
cided1y older, three were graduated
from other colleges, and not one has dis
| tinguished himself in pedagogy. Such
men cannot be expected to be very Wig
orous and courageous in inaugurating a
new Yale departure. AS to the elected
members, they have been so far an I'M
known quantity. Their deeds have been
shrouded by the secrecy which wells the
Corporations activities. No one knows
how they have discharged their duties
as representatives. They were elected,
no one knows exactly why; perhaps as
much for their supposed popularity as
for any recognized fitness. Since elect
ed they have kept their mouths shut
They have given no account of their
stewardship. So far as any one
knows, in no particulars have
they differed from their cleri-
cal associates All outside interest in
the matter of their election has COM
pletely died out. No one would vote on
the subject except for the purpose of
gratifying the vanity, or the ambition,
of friend. Besides the elected men,
bers are in a minority and are handi-
capped by discriminating regulations.
The clericals control the body, the body
will not act except in response to pres-
Dental prodding, and the prodding will
not be applied. Such is the sad outlook.
Yale will probably keep on drifting In
unknown directions without plan or sys-
tenn until some unexpected, unanticipa-
table event, or prophet, opens eyes, loos-
ems tongues and starts anew dormant
energies The one most patent truth is
that no one man can properly discharge
all the duties which at present apper-
tain to the presidency of Yale College.
