ten minutes of play. At time throughout the
practice was the scrubs goal line in danger Hum
bird, the scrub quarter back secured the ball on
blocked kick in midfeld and ran forty-five yarus
through the entire varsity for a touchdown. Cor
don scored the other five points for the scrub by
dropping neat goal from the twenty yard line,
The practice saw the return to the scrimmages OF
two former cripples, Dewitt and Gresham zoe
Both were put in on the scrub, but Dewitt made
such havoc with the varsity hnemen that he was
soon promoted In fact 1t was largely due 10 his
fine work that the scrub scored before he was
shifted Three OF the best halfbacls on the squad
were laid up during the practice-Henry and Morse
with wrenched ankles and Hart with a twisted
knee. Davis, the freshman who has been playing
at end until this week, and who was put in at
tackle in McCord's place to-day, was also carried
off the field. but Trainer Robinson said there

better shape. Stfllman. formerly Of Brown was
tried at tackle He seemed experienced player

METHODIST MINISTERS FAVOR
REVISION OF THE RITES.
Proposed Also to Take the Ban Off

at Chicago Conference.

New York, April 24.-Methodist min
listers from the New York conference
will go to Chicago next week to urge
before the general conference a, revis-
ion Of the rules prohibiting dancing,
card-playing and theatre going. DR..
George 2. Mains and DR.. Jesse Pull
man, delegates to the Chicago confer
ence, advocated the proposed GiodifiCa-
ton at the weekly meeting Of Metho-
dists. Or. J. J. Reed, pastor of the
Washington square Methodist Episco-
pal church, preciDitated the discussion
by a speech on New Light on an Old
Subject, or Paragraph 248 of the Diaci-
pine"
DR.. Reed announced that he had no.
ticed that the Danbury meeting of the
New York east conference had devel-
oDed a strong movement in favor Of
memCrializing the general conference
TO strike out paragraph 24S. This re-
vision. he explained. was. in his ODin-
ion. too radical. He believed that an
e.iJential modification should be made
by making the paragraph advisory
rather than CCmmandatory.
Il don't favor letting down the bars,
said DIR. Reed. Il do not believe it is
the intention Of the Methodist church,
if this proposed revision is made, to
take the position that these amuse-
nents are countenanced. What we
WISH to do is to put ourselves IN a %
sftion where we can best contend with
what we regard as evils.
The delegates from the New YORK
east and Newark conferences also Will
go to Chicago prepared to fight against
The 6ancing rules. The New England
conferences will urge the continuance

CONDITIONS IN PHILIPPINES
DESCRIBED BY A SOLDIER

no Filipino will ever be .recOnciled to
American or any other foreign rule.
Say further, that the people of those
islands are as fully capable of taking
care of themselves, Of maintaining
their own form of government as are
the CUbans, and from my personal ac-
qUaintance with them, many Of whom
have had conversations with While
on post duty before the dogs of war
were let loose, show a degree of in
telligence that would be compliment
tary to the average Americans. Inde ed,
they show unusual intelligence. and the
excuse offered for their subjugation
and the enforcement OF American SOW
ereignty, is without any foundation to
sustain it.
AguinaldO is a gentleman of excep-
tional accomplishments. He is sincere,
cons cientiOus, straightforward, and as
honestly deEiroUs Of achieving the in
dependence CT his people as any man
who ever drew sword in defense Of
freedom. He is so regarded by the
great majority Of the army. I have seen
him on a great many occasions before
the opening Of hcstilities, and his per-
Sonality is ouch as to at once in0rc15
q man that he is no ordinary indivi-
dual.
1t is the current opinion among the
soldiers that his whereabouts is Q vn

and that Re VIII be apprehendod at the
C7pcrtune time.
1t is needless to say that the reports,
CT Filipino casualties have been so
grossly exaggerated as to bear little
sfsgnblance TO the actual facts. a re-
Port that 900 Filipinos were killed and
wounded could be truthfully dis
counted 400 per ,oent, and the American
less will sfan6, adding to. The Ameri-
cans have ne. with a number of re-
verses which have been reported as vic

three days, taking part in thirty en-
gagements and know that in the vic
unity Of Balinag we were repulsed and
compelled to await reinfOrcenents, a so

In conclusion, ais time is limited. let
me say that l had the pleasure of an
intimate acquaintance with the Utah

such that we were in close touch with
them most Of the time. 1t must be eaid
to their credit that they acquitted
themselves gloriously and di More val

times they were a little lavish in the
