BRYAN WRITES LETTER
Giving His Views on the Treatment
the FfIipinos Should Receive.

Knoxville, Tenn, June 22.-The SEN
tinel prints a letter addressed to it by
Colonel William ]. Bryan in which he
expresses his views upon the relations
of the F%flipinos and the Cubans and
their rights. 1t is as follows:
Il believe that the rights of the Fill
ipinos n the rights of the Cubans
are identical. The recognition of the
rights of the Cubans by resolution did
not create those rights. They existed
before.
IF the Filipinos have a right to their
independence the fact that they fought
for it does not justify US in carrying
on a war Of conquest.
1T is no more h~umiliating for a ma
ton to recognize the rights Of an OPP
ponent than for an individual to do so.
We would have had the same
trouble in Cuba if we had treated the
CubanS the same as we have the Fill
pinoS. We would have had no trouble
in the Philippine islands if We had
treated the Filipinos as We have treat
ed the Cubans. If We are going to
give the Ei1ipinoU their independent
we ought to say so at once and thus
avoid further bloodShed.
How can we justify the sacrifice of
American soldiers and the killing OF
Filipinos merely to show that we can
whip them?"
Colonel Bryan declares that if the
Bacon resolution had been acted upon
there would have been 10 war with
the Filipinos.

FISHING FOR TUNA
PAsrlmEo ON THE PACIFIC COAST
An Exclusive Club at Avalon of which
Only fi.catoriai Experts Can Bscoins
Members.

In order to hear really big fish stories
one should visit Avalon, the pictur-
esque summer resort on Catalina Is
land, on the southern coast OF Califor-
MIA. The cNcitcmcnts OF life here ARE
divided between playing golf and
catching tuna.
1t is difficult to tell which Is the more
laborious occupation. The golf links
are said to he the best and therefore
the most difficult, ana the tuna is hard
TO catch. II Is very gamcy. decp-wa-
ter fish which attains great size. and to
catch one Is II great honor. usually well
earned. They are good to eat, and en-
thusinstic fishermen enjoy catching
them. but the chief Incentive lies IN
the fact that tuna caught In accord
nnce with the rules Is the only creden-
tials that admit manor womnn-to
coveted membership In the Tuna
Club. The fish must be caught with
the rod and reel after the approved
fashion, and at the end Of each season
prize IL given to the member who
has taken the largest one. The club
winds up the season with "A big ban
quet and has great jubilation over
HE seasons sport.
The largest tuna ever caught weighed
2tO pounds. and the smallest weighed
forty pounds.
The usual method employed IL to en-.
ploy two men with launch and n
skin. After the fish has been hooked
the fisherman jumps Into the skin with
nm oarsmnn whose business II IL to fol.

which IL not OF large size. The task
Of tirinI out such u big fish IL long

that II has required In one ease four.
teen hours. A Colorado fisherman
who has played mountain trout can
perhaps Imagine the amount Of cndur-
nncc and pluck needed by the fisher
man who hooks tuna. or course u
big fish often gets away after being
played for several hours. The fact
that the cost OF the two men with their
boats Ii 81 per day Is nm indication OF
the cxpcnsivcncss of this sport
Wealthy men do not. however. appear
TO mind this. One gentleman reported
that his .1O.pound tuna finally cost
him $40 pound. or $500. II took this
gentleman three year, TO catch his fish
and he came across the United States
each year until he succeeded.
