PROVIDENCE, R. l., March 1S>-The re-
publican convention here today was the
largest political gathering of the sort ever
held in this state. The enthusiasm from
the beginning to the end of the proceedings
was marked. George II. Utter of westerly
was the chairman.
Chairman Utter devoted a large part of
his address to comment upon the fact that
this convention marked the opening of the
presidential contest, and to a review of the
events of the past four years. to show that
the promises made In the last national cam
paign had been fulfilled.
New Questions and Issues.
Mr.. Utter also saidi
The history of the past four years has
brought to this nation new questions and
new Issues. Differ in, opinion as We may,
1t Is still a fact that we have been hurled
out of our traditional isolation by the
wheel of events
in the Philippine question. so-caled we
have issues which are entirely new. But
the Philippines belong to us truly as
does this snug little state. The title was
obtained by treaty, and THAI treaty was
approved by the American Senate and the
Spanish authorities and it Is recognized by
the nations of the world. If mistakes were
made in accepting 1t they cannot he rectt-
fed now. The title must be admitted and
llIt ltSpplSlDiiltltS WHICH Coiitc Win II
must be accepted. Beginning with this
promise, therefore. the conclusion is I'M
avoidablc that the American people owe it
tc the people of those islands and of the
world as much as to themselves to bring
order out of chaos and to give to the islands
the highest form of government for which
their people are prepared"

Entfon of Mni. Ruthers' Cnse.

The report of the board appointed to In
vestgate the charges against Major
George W. Ruthers, commissary of sub
sistence, L. S. V. has been received al The
War Department Although there is excel
lent reason for the belief that Mai Ruthers
was completely exonerated, the officials Of
the War Department refuse to give out any
information on the subject. This is in ac-
ordanee with instructions issued by Sec
rotary Root. who considers that all such
reports are intended for mis- personal infor-
nation as the head of the War Department,
and are matters in which the public has no
concern.
The charges against Mai. Ruthers were
of a serious character. In general. they al
fege that while stationed in Florida he
caused the government to lose a large
amount of money by the sale of commits
sary stores not properly condemned, TO
firm in which Senator 0Fiaferro of Florida
had an interest. The charges were made
by man who claimed TO be a government
detective. and were said to have been in
stisated by the political enemies of the

RELIGIOUS STATISTICS.
Arrangements Made to Obtain Greater
Accuracy Than Formerly


Accuracy Than Formerly
The criticism made by certain religious
newspapers because there are no Inquiries
on the census schedules for taking religious
statistics arose IN a misrepresentation" said
the director of the census today.
1T has always been the policy of the
United States not to ask individual persons
regarding their religious belief or church
affiliations. Religious statistics were col
lected in 1872, and through the cordial CO.
operation of the churches and the religious
press of the country Were so taken as TO be
effective and valuable Under the present
law the same method can be followed, but
such an inquiry cannot, be begun until more
Imperative Investigations conducted through
the 50,HD enumerators are out of the way.
This division of the subjects into one group
to be taken by enumeratOrs and another
taken by correspondence and special agents
will secure greater accuracy and satisfac-
ton, and | hope that persons especially IN
terested in religious statistics will not be
unduiy impatient at the postponernent of
this investigation, which the law requires"
