Il. S. MEAD
Enjoys Teaching in Panitan.
Panay. P. |.

We are pleased to publish the follow
ing interesting extracts from a recent
letter from Mr.. Mead, former teach
er in this city, who is now enjoying his
labors in the Philippine Islands:
81 am permanently located at Pani-
tan. the prettiest little town on the is
land of Panay, a town of about eight or
ten thousand people-two of whom are
of the white or Caucasion race and the
rest of the yellow or Malay race. y
''These people must be upllfted by
the American teacher. They have some
habits that would indicate that they
are very lax morally. A little girl of
10 years will drink as much wine and
smoke as many cigars or cigarettes as
any one. At their receptions or fiestas,
soon after the guests arrive, beer and
cigars are passed: then wine and cham
pagne, then comes supper where more
wine is served, and after supper cigars
and cigarettes and more wine, if it is
desired.
'These fiestas generally come on Sun
day too. have just returned from q
celebration that began last night, and
is over this afternoon. When we re
fuse 10 'ceber' and 'fumer' they are as
tonished. They look up to the maestro
and regard him as almost superhuman
and they will be influenced by him
Even today the padre and several 9th
ers did not drink their wine.

directly, but must work with the padr,
and influence them by doing right.

The Panitan school, thus far, has
been more than satisfactory. There are
55 boys enrolled, and after the rice is
gathered expect as many more. My
boys do not speak English huently, tut
they know about $50 words and can
sing very nicely Home, Sweet Home,'

sThe girls are not in school yet. Co
education is contrary to the Filipino
idea. But as soon as can find two or
senoritas who are suitable for maestras
1 think the girls will have the same
advantages as the boys. Our school
hours are from to IL in the morning,
(the last hour being spent with the ma
tive teachers and from to $50 in the
afternoon.
Besides my day school, three nights
each week have night school. This
is very interesting. The presidente, the

CHINA WORRIED ABOUT
MlNCHURIAH QUESTION
RUSSIA IGNORES THE POWERS
Prince Ching More Friendly to Great
Britain than Ii Hung Gang
Crisis Exists in the Oriental EN-
pire's History.

PERKING, Dec. 16-The Manchurian
question has reached a stage which
best informed observers consider to
be q crisis in China's history. The
Chinese Government is beset between
Russia on the one hand and Great
Britain. the United States and Japan
on the other. The Government is
helpless and will yield to that fac
ton able to bring the strongest pres
sure TO bear.
Prince Ching is distinctly more
friendly TO Great Britain than was
Ii Hung Chang The British, Amer
here have separately visited Prince
Ching and insisted that they be shown
any treaty before it is signed. Prince
Ching has submitted to them the draft
Of a treaty practically identical to
the treaty already published.
Prince Ching is now pressing Rus
STA for more definite terms, the pres
ent form of the treaty being so vague
In its important points as virtually
to leave Russia free hand. The Jap
anese Minister has taken a strong
stand in the matter. and has notified
Prince Ching that Japan will require
concessions equivalent to all the adj
vantages conceded to Russia in Man
churia.
The belief is general that Russia in
tends to ignore what she regards as
mere formal objections on the part OF
other powers. Japan would go to the
length of war to stop the Russian oc-
cupation of Manchuria If she were as
sured of support, but she will not risk
q repetition OF the rebuff administered
after the China-Japanese war.
