To Mold Public Opinion.

Scror Jurado, the Filipino lawyer in
London, is arranging to take six Eng
lish-speaking Filpinos to the United
States in September to lecture, giving
Filipino arguments against continual
ton of the war in the Philippines.
Jurado, who has been writing a Sc

the Americans mean only the best for
the islands, said to-day: "If we go to
the United States we shall remain on
the stump till the November election.
We shall not ally ourselves with any
party, but will cndeavor to mold public
opinion that, whoever is elected presi-
dent, will not dare to continue a policy
so Objectionable to the majority OF the
electors.

pie ample proof that we are quite ca
pable OF government, and are not
irresponsible savages."

Bishop Morrison Takes All the Blame for Chi.

At Louisville, KY, Bishop Henry Nj.

the laying of the Fourth Avenue Metho-

declared that the Methodists were re-
sponsible for the present trouble al

IL thank God that Allen and Lambeth

trouble in China. With bowed head !
thank God that in some small way |
am to blame for the unrest in China to-
day. | thank God that each and every
one OF you and all the Methodists in
this country are to blame"
He proceeded to say that il was the
pushing spirit of the church and the
conduct of the Methodists in China that
caused the trouble. The present unrest,
he said, was foreshadowing OF the time
when China would be cut from end TO
end by the armies of the cross.
Among other things he said that the
only reason the north pole had not been
reached was because no Methodist mis-
sionary had been ordered TO proceed to
that region and evangelizc the inhabi-

WAR UPON NEGROES.

A mob OF several hundred persons
formed at II o'clock Wednesday night
in front of the home OF Policeman Rob-
ert ]. Thorpe, in New York, to wreak
vengeance upon the negroes OF that
neighborho9d because one Of the race
had caused the polceman's death.
Thorpe was stabbed and bruised last
Sunday night by several negroes while
he was attempting to arrest colorcd
woman, and died Monday.
In few moments the mob swelled to
I,5oo people or more, and as they be-
came violent the negroes fled in terror
into any hiding place they could get.
The police reserves from four stations,
numbering 400, were called out. The
mob OF white men ragged through the
streets, and negroes, regardless OF age
or sex, were attacked. A score were in
jured. 1t took the combined efforts Of
the reserves, with as many more police
men on patrol. to restore order. Clubs
were used until the police were almost
exhausted. Revolvers were empticd into
the air and IN one or two instances fired
at the upper stories OF the high tene-
mcnts, from which the negroes dcfens-
lively fired bricks, paving stones and
other missiles.
For the next hour the streets wee
filled with a riotng, surging mob. Il
was a scene on very much the same or
der as took place few days ago in New
Orleans. New York has seldom had its
equal. The shouting of the men, the
slirieking OF the women, the lamenta-
tions of the children, the shooting of re-
volvers, crashing OF windows and all
made a pandemonium.
The policemen in other parts did
mitch clubbing, but the injured men
were all negroes.

PENSION ROLL SHOWS IN INCREASE

II. Clay Evans added 45.3AA names TO

mor'hs. Death. re-marriage and 9th er
causes took off 43334 during the same
PERIOD, The number OF pensioners on
the rolls WAS oo3,s2o net increase in
number Of 2,oIo.
The annual value OF the roll at the
close OF the year 1900 was $I3I,6Iz.o6I,
while at the close OF the fiscal year end
ed June 80, 1000, 1t was SI3I.5A.stt.
hus, while the roll increased in mum.
bers during the year, II decreased in am
nual value TO the amount of $S3,4G7, oc-
oasioned mainly by the death OF pen
sioners who were receiving high rates
of pension.
For the same reason there was n
slight decrease in the average value OF
all pensions from S132.74 to $I323o. II
will be noted that the average rate under
the general laws has increased from
SIo5.7o to $I07.53, while the average
rate under the act of June 27. 1890, has
decreased from SIoS.oo to SIoS. 22.
The average annual value OF pensions
granted on account OF service in the war
with Spain has decreased from $Io8. 3,
to SI6o.Io. This is still a high average
as compared with the rate of pension
paid to other pensioners. and tile aver
age rates will probably soon conform to
the general average of pensioners on the
roll
The probabilities, says the COM
missioner, are that the new legislation
enacted by the present Congress will re-
suit in a large increase in the number
of pensioners and in the annual value oi
the pension roll during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1901.
