WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, March l3,

Washington, March l3, 1900.
Are the majority of the senate afraid
OF England? Their action, when Sem
ator Mason compelled the senate to
take up his resolution, expressing sym
pathy for tho Bosrs, certainly looked
that way. The majority refused to al
low the resolution to be discussed in
open session, because things would be
said that might offend England. Ye
Gods! this sort of talk in the American
senate, where men who cringed to no
foreign friend or foe, once upon time
fearlessly expressed their opinion and
time after time have spoken in favor of
down-trodden peoples, without stopping
to think whether their oppressors would
like it or not. Now, as soon as any
thing affecting England is even men
toned, the majority orders the doors
closed. What a picture for the Ameri-
can people to contemplate. Even in
secret session, the administration sem
ators are afraid to allow Senator
Mason's resolution to be squarely voted
upon. Their program is to throttle it
by having a majority vote to lay it on
the table. II the so-caled era of
friendship with England is to result in
squelching our Americanism and our
love for liberty, the sooner it comes to
an end the better for us as people.

KING OF MEXICAN eAMRLERs.
Don FIllps MarteI pays $1,000 a day
License, But Has Made Millions.

When, few years since, the Mexican
government sought to abolish gamb-
ling throughout the land, the measure
was vigorously opposed, not only by
the profession itself. but by many of
the richest and most influential citi-
zens Of the republic as well, the latter
element declaring that in the event Of
their being prohibited from their be-
loved and inherent pastime they would
remove to some domain where their
rights and predictions would be re-
spected. The authorities, however de-
termined not to be outdone, yet not
wishing to disregard outright the dep
mands of the sporting fraternity, con-
ceived the idea of fixing a license, the
eXorbitance of which would be pro-
ductive OF the same results as would
prohibition. A law was therefore es-
tablished requiring every gambling re-
sort to pay daily license OF $1,000.
The result was that on the same day
the ordinance was announced the
gambling houses throughout the coun-
try promptly closed their doors-all
but one. Don Filipe Martel had calm
ly waited until the last of his contem-
poraries had gone to the wall, where
upon he presented himself at the Tax
Collectors Office in the City Of Mexico
and depostng $1,000 in cash, modest
ly requested license. The amazed Of
flcials could scarcely believe their
senses, but the coverted document was
nevertheless forthcoming, and by
nightfall it had been noised all over
the city that Martels establishment
on the Gale de Gante would be open
that evening as usual for business.
The effect of this display of nerve
acted as magic upon those who had
opposed the reformatory measure.
That night Martels place was thronged
with the wealthiest sporting element in
the city. and the profits of the estab-
lishment ran far into the thousands
The following day others, stimulated
by the s,pcess of the bold venture.
took out their license and endeavored
to resume, but to no avail. Martel had
won the patronage and support Of the
players at stroke and was quickly
left in sole possession OF the field. As
time went by his phenomenal success
continued, and one after another he
established branches in various por-
tions of the city, for each of which he
pays an additional thousand dollars Ii
cense
When, eventually, 1t became appar-
ent to the city administration that
Martel was there to stay, and possibly
not unmindful of the immense revenue
he was paying into the municipal
treasury, the authorities became recon-
eiled. They even added to his prestige
by appointing a deputy inspector for
each of his establishments, whose duty
is to see that no unfair methods are
resorted to by either the management
or players. Up to the present period
Felipe Martel has acquired a fortune
of over 100000. and the average daily
expense Of conducting his establish
ments is the incredible sum of $40, ,0oo

The first volume of the Philippine
commissions report makes a book of
264 pages and contains q great deal
that the commission doesn't know
about the Filipinos. The report is
signed by Professor Schurman, Admit
raj Dewey, Colonel DENLY and Profess
sor Worcester This volume deals
largely with the kind of government
that the commission thinks we should
establish over the Filipinos, while the
volume to follow will treat of the re-
sources of the islands, or in other
words offer an apology for our taking
them by conquest. The commissioners
refer to Great Britain as an example
worthy to follow, and says that she
has been brilliantly successful in gov
erning dependent peoples. The COM
missioners after this outburst of Eng
lish sentiment might be expected to
express their sincere regret that our
forefathers in 1875 were so criminally
foolish as to shake off English rule
and ask to govern themselves, just as
the Filipinos are asking Of us today
Our imperialistic friends declare that
the Flipinos are not capable of self
government, but so did England de-
clare Of us in 1776. The commission
does not refer to the millions Of Eng
lish subjects who are starving in Brit
ish India, but it does recommend that
we violate the constitution by impos-
ing a tariff ON the Filipinos' products
after we have forced them under our
dominion. Schurman was not an i'm
perialist until he was bribed by being
sent to the Philippines as the head of
the commission. ---..----.
