RELIGIOUS TROUBLES.
Prof SChurman Says They DO Not
Exist in the Philippine Islands.

Bnghamton, n. Y, Feb l6-Speak-
ing at the board Of trade banquet IN
this city on the subject OF the rec
ligious troubles in the Philippines Presi-
dent Schurman, Of Cornell university
said.
In the meaning of the term there
is no religious trouble ia the Philip
pines. The Catholic church hitherto
has been a part OF the state and was
supported by state revenues and 1t now
is on the same footing as the other
churches and must be supported by vol
untary contributions The great ma
jorty Of the people outside of the
heathens. who number a Few hundred
thousands. and the Mohdms tlns VINO
number a few hundred thousands Ilore
are Catholics. The church presents no
question, but the religious orders do
present a question because they are
landlords.
"The situation is much the same as
In Ireland The land is held by those
who gained 1t by right Of the sword.
The religious ORDERS ~ the Philippines
have come into possession Of these
lands ana il Is for as TO enquire INTO
their right and title 10 them. whether
the Fillpinos are not doing the orders
a great injustice and whether or not
they are forgetting the great benefits
OF civilization which the orders gave
20 them. But the situation is. The Fill
pinos don't like the religious orders as
landlords We can't take the and from
the orders and we would not If we
could.
I'VE recommend that the land be
purchased and sold 10 the people in
small holdings,
Just as In Ireland today he con-
tnued. "T. +. Russell, IN putting him
self at the head OF a new order of
things. has left the old ideas about the
holding of property and is making him
self new champion. so thousands Of
Finpinos are imhued with the same
idea and wish TO get away from the
landlord system. There Is no need for
any religious controversy In the ques-
ton. Ii is a question Of landlord and
tenant"

BROKE JAIL.
Five Prisoners Make Their Escape
from the Marion County Jail
Last Night.


Last evening at about 1870 o'clock
quite an excitement prevailed at the
jail, when 1t was discovered that five
OF the prisoners had escaped under
very daring circumstances says the
Fairmont Times. Those that escaped
were Grant Cummins, Charles Fans,
William Jobes, Patrick Lewis and a
negro whose correct name we have
been unable to obtain. They gained
their freedom by raising up a piece Of
sheetiron on the jail floor, bursting a
hole in the ceiling sufficiently large to
let them through into an unoccupied
room In the deputy sheriff's residence,
thence out the outer door. In about
one hour after they had fled, the negro
returned and told the Sheriff where
the remainder of the crowd could be
found. The Sheriff, Deputy Sheriff
and City Police Immediately left for
the place, but they could not be
found. But before the officials left,
however, the negro was again placed
behind the bars. Whatever possessed
the negro OF returning and placing
himself in the clutches OF the tailor
we are unable to state. Later on
Fans was found near the jail and was
again jailed, but the remainder OF the
delegation are still at large. The
prisoners were confined under differ
ent charges, and Cummins, who hail
ed from Morgantown, is considered as
being a dangerous fellow,
