There were 800 people ON the stage
when Mr.. Cochran, the orator of the
evening, arose and bowed in recogni-
ton of the tumult of applause which
greeted him. He said in part:
However men may differ about the
invasion of the South African repub-
lies, all are agreed that the restoration
of peace is in the highest degree desir-
able. There are but two ways in
which the war can be terminated-eith-
er the Beers must surrender or the
English government must abandon the
attempt TO subdue them. 1t is quite
generally assumed that the resistance
of the Beers cannot he successful. and
If this be true they would not be justi-
ned in continuing struggle which in
wolves fruitlsse loss of life and waste
of property. even though the losses in
flicted on their enemy were tenfold
greater than what they suffered them
selves, for bloodshed is useless and is
always indefensible.

GENERAL CHAFFEE'S REPORT
ON CONDITION OF PHILIPPINES

Washington. Dec. 1O.-The first an
nlal report of General Chaffee, mill
tary governor of the Philippines. sums
up the situation there from n military
point of view by stating that the prov
inces of Batangas and La Guna. in Lu-
Zon. and the islands of Samar, Man
dora, Cebu and Bohol. constitute the
area now disturbed by any embodied
force of insurgents.
He says that to the physical charac-

warfare of the rebels. who are amigo

advantage of by the rebels and the

ministration. General Chaffee says:
The withdrawal of interference with
civil affairs does not contemplate with
drawal of the troops from their sta
tions to any considerable extent; ON
the contrary, this should not be done
ulStlly. anu when undertaken should
be gradual and more in the nature of
concentration than reduction of force
or abandonment of any considerable
area OF territory"
He therefore recommends that there
be no further material reduction of
troops before January, 1903 The gov

and there is but one certain and relia-

of the Filipnos in elf-government,
namely, observation by the army. On
the subject of the military government
of the city of Manila General Chaffee
says:
I'm the government of Manila for

nothing more. it is everywhere apparent
that an excellent foundation has been

CARNEGIE'S MILLIONS
GIVEN TO EDUCATION

Washington, Dec. 1O.-The Post this
morning says:
President Roosevelt has received n
letter from Andrew Carnegie in which
the latter offers to make donation of
S10,OO00OO to the United States. The
letter will be referrerd to Congress by
the President is special message.
Mr.. Carnegie's gift is for the purpose
of establishing in Washington n univer,
sity for higher education. AS far as
his idea has been developed it proposes
a gift after the manner of the beuuest
of James Smithson, the Englishman
who gave S1.O00.OOO for the establish
ment Of what is now known as the
Smithsonian Institution. Smithson de-
sired the institution to be founded by
him to be a factor in .'the diffusion of
scientific knowledge" Mr.. Carnegie
proposes that the university which he
is to endow shall be the greatest instI-
tuition in the world for the development
of higher education. He has consulted
President Gilman of Johns Hopkins
University, President Hadley of Yale,
President Eliot Of Harvard, ex-Presi-
dent White of Cornell and all the lead
ing educators OF the country. They
heartily endorse his plans.
The proposed university will not in
ferfere In the least with the education
al institutions already established, but
Will supplement them. for. according to
the present plan, its doors will be open
only to those who desire to take up a
postgraduate course.
Mr.. Carnegie also wants the new uni
versity to take the lead in original re-
search, SO that the United States can
eventually stand side by side with Ger

In anticipation of n partial concentra-

under the command of Il brigadier-gen-

General Chaffee devotes a good part
of his report to the terrible disaster

he says, was largely due to overconf-

occurred near shore, the mattress was
eventually hooked in. and the passen-
