BISHOP POTTER'S REPORT.
Severe Criticism of the Religious Ord
ers in the Philippines.


New York, March pa partial
report of the condition OF affairs as
found in the Philippines by Bishop
Potter, addressed to the joint com
mission on the increased responsible
ties OF the Protestant Episcopal
church, has been made public The
report is in part as follows:
The religious situation in the
Philippines is such as to be expected
in colony OF Spain. She has stamp
ed her ecclesiastical traditions-nar-
row, intolerant and often corrupting
wherever she has gone, and she has
gone almost everywhere among all
the various islands of the archipel-
ago, great and small. Worst of all,
her religious orders, except perhaps
the Jesuits, have robbed the people,
wrung from them their lands and
taxed the administration of the sac
raments and ordinances of religion
with a scale of exactions and imposi-
tiOns at once scandalous and out
rageOus.
Ii we are to retain these islands,
and the undersigned are constrained
to own, however they may differ from
any of their associates as to the wis
dom of originality entering upon
them, that no other course seems for
the present open to the United States
these wrongs and the righting of
them lie at the foundation of the
whole Philippine problem. We must
do Justly in the Philippines, or God
will have no use for US and our pres
ence there will inevitably rebound to
our national dishonor.'

struck an English officer, and fearing pun
ishment sought safety among the savages
Among others who had means of know
ing something of the truth of his claims
was Col. Benjamin Hawkins, who was In
dian agent about the close of the last CEN
fury, and who appears to have been con-
WINGED of the truth of McQueen's state
ments Whether he married among the
Indians and left direct descendants we do
not know, but there was an Indian chief
called Peter Mcqueen, who was among
the hostile leaders In the troubles of 1872
is, and as this is not an Indian name II
is highly probable that he was a son or
the long-lved Scotchman.
This Peter seems to have tried to play
fast and loose, secretly siding with the
Spaniards in Florida while trying to re-
main on good terms with the Americans
In 1873 Col. Hawkins, in a letter to our
government, mentioned that a war party
had been out and had taken four negroes
from Mcqueen. 1t appears from contenl-
porary accounts that this man suffered
the usual fate of those who try to serve
two masters at once for IL is certain that
he was driven from his home at Tucka-
batchee and forced to seek refuge among
the Seminoles in Florida
That this Peter Mcqueen was a man OF
wealth is certain, for in 1913, one r. Ar
buthnot writes a letter to Lieut. r. NJ
Sands In command of the American troops
at Fort Gaines. Ca, in which he speaks
of Peter as IAN unfortunate Indian chief"
and begs Lieut.. Sands TO assist the said
chief in regaining possession of the ne
groes who had been taken from his home
at Tuckabatchee. Mcqueen claimed that
ten of his negroes had been taken by
half breed called Barney, and that chief
called Auche Hatchie Cedar Creek had
taken twenty, SO that the unfortunate
chief appears to have been well supplied
with negro slaves. and 1t is likewise af-
firmed that his place was well stocked with
cattle. 1t may be remarked that this
( chief was once captured by Gen. Jacksons
forces, but made his escape and was not
again taken, nor is 1t known where he
died.
AN this has nothing to do with the old
Scotchman, but If he was the father of
Peter, as seems probable, the latter doubt
less got much Of his wealth from his cam
ny old parent

WILL MOVE TO NEW STREET..
TIedeman ~ Bro. to Go to Central
Railroad Warehouses

IIedemon "a Bro. to Go to Central
Railroad Warehouse.
The threatened move of the wholesale
grocery firms from Bay street is still un-
der way. Mr. G. W. Tiedeman said yes
terday that he had arranged to move his
business, including the Standard Candy
Company, from its present location at Bay
and Montgomery streets. to the Central
Railroad warehouse, on New street. as
soon as the railroad company can make
arrangements for his accommodation
there.
4 would have preferred 20 remain on
Bay street for personal reasons" said Mr.
Tiedeman, when spoken to about the mat
ter, and held off for some time hoping
that some arrangement would be made
between the city and the railroads by
which railroad facilities would be provid-
ed on Bay street. I grew tired of wait
ing however, and have made arrange
ments with the Central Railroad. We will
occupy the remaining portion of the ware
house on Bay street already occupied by
A. 3. Hull & Co, together with the an
mex. The candy factory will be located
in the annex and viii be separated from
the grocery department by brick fire
wal. AtlOSelHef, We Will occupy a space
60 by 425 feet. We will make the move
as soon as the railroad company COM
pletes its arrangements for our reception,
which will probably be within the next
two months"
Mr.. Tiedeman said that so far as his
business is concerned the location at the
railroad will be more convenient both for
the city and country trade, but that he
dlsliked to remove from the business
neighborhood because of the convenience
to the banks and che close contact with
the business people generally. Had he
been able to secure the same facilities on
Bay street which will be afforded him at
the railroad warehouse he would not have
moved, he said.
Mr.. Tiedeman said that the consideration
of the Bay street track matter had been
deferred by Council from time to time for
various reasons, but that 1t would PROB
ably be taken up on the return of Mayor
Myers. Mayor Myers has expressed him
self repea teddy as favorable to the move
ment, and it is believed that he has de-
ferred consideration of the matter be-
cause of the opposition manifested in
Council to allowing railroad tracks on
BaV street.

tee gives them assurance of this they will
appeal to the state committee to enforce
their ideas with regard to the primary.
The registration yesterday reached 2,O99,

lion will be little if any under 1000 The
negroes are registering heavily partly be
cause their own party rules require that

the Republican primaries, and partly be
cause of the good things they foresee for
the independent colored voter as the re

otherwise there will have 10 be a liberal
