COLOR QUESTION WILL
LOOM UP in CONGRESS

Washington, Dec. S.-The Moody
resolution requesting the appointment
Of a committee to investigate the re-
cent disfranchisement of the great
mass of negro voters In Louisiana with
a view to determining whether or not
the states representation in Congress
should be cut down accordingly, Is
likely to stir up one Of the hottest
fights of the session.
This resolution has been referred to
the Rules Committee and that commit
tee Is controlled by the majority party,
a favorable report may be expected. II
this resolution should pass and the
committee should report, us 1t undoubt-
edly will In favor Of the decreasing Of
Louisiana's representation In the
House, a fierce party fight would be
precipitated involving the entire ma
jority and minority parts OF the House.
Representative Fleming OF Georgia
has replied with n rejoinder, calling for
the appointment OF special committee
to inquire into and determine whether
or not the educational qualification Of
Connecticut has not deprived many
male citizens Of the right of suffrage.
1t Is claimed that the Connecticut laws
even more severe than those of Louis

Is ASSIGNED TO ASIA

Denver, Dec. S.-Bishop Henry w
Warren of the Methodist Episcopal
Church has been assigned to Asia fof
mission work during the coming two
years. He will be in supreme charge
of the whole church interests in Asia
and allied territory. This assignment
was made at the recent meeting of
bishops which he attended, and from
which he returned to Denver yester-
day. He will also have charge Of all
of India and the district of Manila, and
possibly all of the Philippines, with
vast problems confronting him and in
tricate questions to decide.
The Methodist bishops are assigned
every year or SO, each to some foreign
mission field. Bishop Warren has. been
in charge of South American missions
for the past three years. He returned
yesterday from a long trip in the East,
and reports general growth in all
branches of Methodism.
II attended the first bishops meet
ing, .at Cincinnati" said the bishop
last night, "and mt that meeting We ar
ranged our conferences for the spring
and summer. My conferences will lie
chiefly In Missouri and will come dur
ing March. The Church Extension So
ciety met at Columbus. Ohio, and the
report showed that 341 churches had
been assisted In the course of erection
in the United States.
Bishop Warren will not go to Asia

In anticipation of partial concentra-
ton of the troops in the Philippines next
year General Chaffee submits estimates
Of cost for the construction of quarters
and barracks. He recommends that
permanent post be constructed at once
In the vicinity of Manila for a garrison
of two squadrons of cavalry, two bat
tries of artillery, and two full regi-
ments of infantry, together with hos
pital and storehouse, the whole to be
under the command of a brigadier-gen-
eral. He gives $500, 900 as a rough es-
innate of cost for this project.
General Chaffee deyotes a good part
Of his report to the terrible disaster
which befel Company G. Ninth infant
ry, at Balangiga, Samar, and which,
he says, was largely due to overconfi-
dence in assumed pacific conditions
and in people who, to great extent,
as yet are strangers to and unapprecia-
tive of our humane policy of liberty of
beliefs and actions"
American soldiers, he says, fail to dis
criminate between real and assumed
friendship on the part Of the Filipinos.
A table is submitted showing that
since June 10th last, the date of the
last table submitted by General Mac
Arthur, up to September 10Th, 361 Fill

! to the American military and twenty
six officers and 4S9 men were captured.

CARNEGIE'S MILLIONS

Washington, Dec. 1O.-The Post this
morning says:
President Roosevelt has received n
letter from Andrew Carnegie in which
the latter offers to make n donation Of
$1O,OOO,OOO to the United States. The
letter will be referrerd to Congress by
the President Is a special message.
Mr.. Carnegie's gift Is for the purpose
Of establishing in Washington a univer.
slky for higher education. AS far as
lIss idea has been developed 1t proposes
a gift after the manner of the bequest
Of james Smithson, the Englishman
who gave $1,OOO,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 factor in "the diffusion Of
scientific knowledge" Mr.. Carnegie
proposes that the university which he
Is to endow shall he 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

Will supplement them, for, according to

Chicago, Dec. 1O.-A program of pro-
test against British methods in the
South African war was carried out be-
fore an immense audience in the Audi
torium theater here Sunday night. Fol-
lowing an address by w. Bourke Cock
ran and earnest speeches by others,
resolutions for the appointment of a
committee to bring the sentiments of
the meeting before the President We're
adopted.
Although an admission was charged,
the funds being intended to aid the
Beers and especially their women and
children, standing room was at pre-
MUM and many We're unable to gain
admittance.
The program opened with the song
"The True Heart" sung by nineteen
German societies of Chicago. DIR. Hi
ram Thomas, head of the Peoples
Church, followed with prayer for the
women and children in South African
prison camps. Then followed short ad-
dresses by Judge Theodore Brentano
and Judge Murray f. Tuley, chairman
of the Chicago branch Of the American
Transyaal League, under the auspices
Of which the meeting was held.
There were 500 people on the stage
when Mr.. Cochran, the orator of the
evening, arose and bowed in recogni-
tion 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 be successful, and
If this be true they would not be justi-
fed in continuing a struggle which in
wolves fruitlsse loss of life and waste
Of property, even though the losses in
fiicted on their enemy We're 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
nual report of General Chaffee, mill
tary governor of the Philippines, sums
up the situation there from q 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-
ter of the country, to the nature Of the
warfare of the rebels, who are amigo
and foe in the selfsame hour, to the hui

advantage of by the rebels and the

the contrary, this should not be done

and there is but one certain and relia-
BILE method of ascertaining the progress
of the Filipinos in self-government,
namely, observation by the army. On
the subject of the military government
of the city Of Manila General Chaffee
says:
"In the government of Manila for

nothing more. 1t is everywhere apparent
that an excellent foundation has been

The beauty OF procrastination and
the advantage OF the sluggard are not
ethical phrases. but they appear as a
sort OF subtitle to one comic episode
in a terrible tragedy. When the
steamer Islander was going down in
Alaskan waters last summer, hurried
warning was sent to the staterooms.
One man, half-awakened, laughed at
what he thought false alarm, and
turned over for another nap. An in
stant later occurred the explosion,
which hurled him into the air upon
his mattress. which came down right
side up upon the water. The disaster
occurred near shore. the mattress was
eventually hooked In. and the passen-
ger was rescued unhurt. This tale
may be believed only by those who
have escaped marvelously the dangers
OF tornado, but 1t Is absolutely true.
That the Russian government is pro-
