SLAVERY IN PHILIPPINES.
An Interesting Report Made by Ms
j. N. Morrison.

An interesting report on slave conditions
in certain parts Of the Philippines, made by
Major j. n. Morrison of the Judge advo-
cate generals department several months
ago, has just become public. Major Nor
rison says in part:
THE slavery here has all of the essen
tials Of the negro slavery formerly ex-
listing in the United States.
For instance, a person-man woman Or
child-will be captured in war or kidnapped
privately and secretly or otherwise) in
time of absolute peace. or one person Will
owe another a debt that he fails to pay
and the creditor will thereupon take the
debtors child-son or daughter-or his SIS
ter or brother as a slave. These are the
usual methods Of converting free people
into slaves, but not the only ones.
When slave Is obtained in any way
he is simply the property of the owner.
The owner will find him and otherwise
take care of him. 1t is to his interest to
60 so, for the same reason that 1t is to his
interest to take care of a horse a cara
bao that belongs to HIM. e., because he
is his and is property that has value.
The master has the same right to sell
him that he would have to sell horse,
and they are constantly being bought and
sold everywhere on the island, except
among the Zamboangenians in the Fam
boanga district.
Inc Oh slaves DelOnS TO the
masters of the parents. Generally in this
island the father and mother belong to
the same person, and in cases where they
do not it is the rule among some of the
peoples for the offspring to belong to the
owner of the father, while with others they
belong to the owner of the mother.
Among the Christian Visayans on this
Island slaves over twenty-one years old
who become Christians are liberated by
direction of the Catholic priests after they
shall have been baptized by them.
LAS was also the case in the former slave
states Of the United States, owners do not
have the right to kill slaves because they
belong to them. 1 am not quite sure that
this is the case everywhere here, but the
opinion l have formed from what l have
as well as pagans, and pagans enslave
other pagans. But l do not think that
there are any pagans who enslave people
of their own tribe, except In cases where
bad men steal the children of others OF
their own tribe and run them off and sell
them to Moros or Christians, or to pagans
Of other tribes.
Among the people newly enslaved the
young boys and girls sell for more than
men and women do, unless the women
have children that are enslaved, and which
they will not run away from any leave in
slavery. The men are very apt to escape,
twenty-five Mexican dollars (worth
$3.50 in American gold) is about the aver
age price for a good boy girl, according
to my information. Men are of SO little
value that l am told that those who fall
into the hands Of slave takers along with
the women and children are apt to be kill
ed rather than taken.

TO STAY CONSUMPTION.
Opening Session of the British Co

gress on Tuberculosis.
The British congress on tuberculosis-for
the prevention of consumption-was opened
yesterday in London by the Duke of Cam
bridge, president Of the congress.
In his opening address the duke wei.
coined the foreign delegates to the con.

Lord Lansdowne, the foreign secretary
also welcomed the delegates, and in the
name of the government promised all the
assistance the government was able to af-
ford the congress in its efforts to combat
a disease more desolating than war
After the lord mayor of London, Frank
Green, Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal,
and others had addressed the congress,
Lord Lister. one OF the British vice presi-
dents of the congress- in few words con-
veyed the thanks Of that body to Profess
sor Robert Koch of Germany, and the other
scientists present for their attendance. say
ing they knew the enemy they had to deal
with. and that 1t was not only the proven
ton but the cure Of consumption that the
congress hoped to effect.
A telegram of welcome was read from
King Edward to the Duke OF Cambridge.
Prior to the adjournment Of the session
Of the congress the Duke Of Cambridge an
nounced that gift Of $4,000 would be
forthcoming for the purpose Of establish
ing the first public tuberculosis sanitarium
as soon as the Recommendations of the con-
gress concerning Its establishment had
been formulated.

AN OLD STATE BANK.
Its Bills Are Being Put Out All Over
the Country.

the Country.
The most gigantic counterfeiting game OF
recent years has been .eported to the Sc
cret service bureau, but that office is pow
erless to do anything, because the counter
feits are not Of any security Of the United
States. Meanwhile the counterfeits are be-
ing passed by the thousands, and people
are accepting them under the impression
that they are genuine notes OF the national
banking system Of the country.
The notes in circulation are ones, twos
and fves. but those mostly in Use are
the twos. They are on the state bank of
New Brunswick, N. j.. an institution that
existed in the days OF state banks, and that
has ceased to do business for many years.
No such national bank exists. The opinion
of Chief Wilkie is that the old plates of the
bank were found in some manner, and that
the swtndlers saw an opportunity FOR q gol-
den harvest, just what they are having.
The plates were originally made by a bank
note company OF national reputation, and
were f1rst-class in every particular 1t is
thought that when the bank went out of
business the plates were not destroyed, and
were kicked around until found recently.
The counterfeits will not pass on a ma
tional bank or among experts, but among
unsuSpecting individuals and shopkeepers
II c1rculateS without question, resembling a
national bank note in many respects.
Chlef W1lkle says that the notes are
afoat from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and
he would not be surprised if the swindicrs
mad made hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. In fact, 1t has been a long time since
q counterfeit has obtained such widespread
circulation. The swindlers can be prose-
cuted under state laws. but as there is 70
organized effort to catch them it may be
months before the persons directly respon-
sible are secured.

Naval Vessels Delayed by Strikes.

The Newport News Shipbuilding Company
has given formal notice to the Navy De-
partment Of the recent strike among its
machinists and states that a claim for
extension OF time on the warships now
building there will be made, based on the
time lapsing between the outbreak Of the
strike and the time of it's discontinuance
several days ago. The department has
received no notice thus far as to delays
caused by the strike at some of the large
steel concerns, although it is anticipated
that the contractors having warships in
their yards will suffer some delay in Sc
curing structural steel. This indirect de-
lay caused by strikes. as well as that di-
rectly resulting from strikes in yards OF
contractors, is taken into consideration by
the Navy Department in granting extern
sion of time on warships.
