Mr.. Benton Was Mistaken.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
curious old pamphlet in my possession

by An Old Citizen of Washington" that
Richard Lawrence was tried for the as
sault made by him upon President Jackson
at the Capitol on the Both Of January. 1875.
1t also shows that Thomas H. Benton was
mistaken in his account Of the affair in
the first volume of 1.-The Thirty Years
View when he said, as quoted in the later
communication of ]. H. B. in The Star,
that "the -wretched victim of dreadful de-
fusion was afterward treated as insane
and never brought to trial. 1t should be
borne in mind however, that Benton wrote
this narrative some eighteen years after
the event which he describes occurred Ac-
cordlng to the anonymous author of the
pamphlet, who styles himself "a Wash
ington Reporter" the trial of Lawrence
was begun in the Circuit Court of the Dis
trict April II, 1885, and apparently was fin
ished at one sitting. Chief Justice Cranch
presided, with Judges Morsen and Thurs
ton. The District Attorney, F. S. Key ap-
peared for the prosecution and w. L. Brent

tendent of police, has recommended to the

R. Sutton, the rank and title of captain In
the police department. and placing the po-
lice supervision of the harbor under the
charge of the major and superintendent Of

to favor the proposition. Heretofore the
harbormaster's office has been treated as
separate department, and the harbormas-
ter has had no actual rank as police Off
Ger.
Major Sylvester also renews the request
that the harbor boat be provided with a
night crew. He says it's service Is often
required at night but there Is no force at
the disposal of the harbormaster The esti-
mates for the office, not including coal, re-
pairs, etc, now paid by the Commissioners
will be included in the police department
estimates and are as follows:
One captain, also harbormaster $1,sO0;
two sergeants. who shall be licensed pilots
one for day and one for night work, at
$1,OSO each per annum, 81, 160; two engi-
neerS at $500 each per annum, 81. 800; two
firemen at $3.50 each per annum, $780, one
janitOr, $3.50; one desk sergeant, 81 0S0.
This arrangement, with sufficient detail
of privates in force, would provide a day
and night crew for the boat, to perform
twelve hours service each.

Views of Prof. Mason Regarding It's
Population.
Prof. Otis T. Mason, curator of anthro-
pology, National Museum, was interviewed
today by Star representative on the peo-
pie of the Island of Samar, the scene of
the recent butchery of some forty or more
American soldiers. Prof. Mason has de-
voted considerable time to the study of
the Philippine races since 1898 and in his
interview said:
There are a great many tribes and races
in the Philippines, but from the standpoint
Of politics the Tagals and Visayas are alone
worthy of consideration. Both tribes are
of pure Malay stock, and form the great
majority of the inhabitants of the Philip
pine archipelago. They the dominant
and ruling race, the Tagals being indigo
nous to Luzon, while the Vizsayas form
the great body of the population Of Salnar,
Negros and Cebu
with the other tribes our government
has experienced very little trouble, for by
reason of the fact that they are either
Negritos (small, black and woolly-haired)
or of mixed Arab, Hindoo, Malay, Negrito
and Sngalese stock, like the Morros of
. Mndanao, they are rather unwarlike, have
little, If any, conception of government and
would as soon be under one set of rulers as
another so long as their personal comfort
and idleness not interfered with.
1.-The dominant tribes of the Malay race
are, however, very uilAcIChl ucy T6auX6
that, so far as their personal we'll being is
concerned, they would be as well off under
American rule as they would be under
government Of their own-perhaps more so.
But it must be borne in mind that they
have the same feelings and mental quali-
ties as Germans or the English. They are
the Anglo-Saxons of the east, industrious,
intensely patriotic, 1Gsincere and earnest.
They are fighting for the principle nbod-
led in the sentence,n The Philippines for
the Filipinos.' Hence from a political
standpoint they are people of no mean
order.
However, this government will find that
when once these Malays have been brought
to accept American rule those who fought
so hard at the outset will prove to be the
best, most enterprising and progressive
people in peace. The Philippine question is
one of very great Importance. This our
late lamented President realized when at
the Buffalo exposition he spent two hours
in the Philippine exhibit, Temarking that
as for the rest he could see all that in
Washington, the Philippine display alone
demanding his careful attention
