CHAPELLE ON PHILIPPINES.
PEKING, Dec. 5.-That the Philippine
war is TO be The subject of an exhaust
i've report by Archbishop Chapelle. papal
delegate to the Islands, to the Pope Is
the belief of Mons. Paul Bressl, secretary
of the French Jesuits in MAMMA, VINO Is
here in Picking.
Father bressI is in possession of a per-
sonal letter from Archbishop Chapelie In
his talk with Minister Conger few days
ago he referred to the correspondence of
the papal delegate, and after seeing the
letter Minister Conger requested a copy,
that he might forward it to Washington
gave Minister Conger copy of the
letter, because l know exactly the feel
ings of the Archbishop on the present un-
called for and unnecessary war between
the natives of the Philippines and the
Government of the United States said
q har .ar II T +r;.. r..
not regard it as a breach of personal or
clerical confidence.
In his letter to me Archbishop Cha
pelle says as much. He will urge the
Pope to send special envoy to Wash
ington for the sole purpose of advising
change of policy in the Philippines. 1t
must be remembered that while the
Archbishop is like father to the Fill
pino people, he is strongly opposed to
the exercise of too much clemency to-
ward the disturbing element. It must
not be understood that he would see in
augurated a rule of blood and iron. Not
at all. He is an apostle of the God of
mercy, and would be happy did all men
live in love and harmony with each 9TH
er. But he feels that the rebellion in
the Philippines is not the work of men
having the best interests of the Filipino
people at heart. He feels that large
majority of the natives who are at pres
ent bearing arms against American au-
thority do SO through fear of Aguinaldo
and the other leaders more than because
of a hatred for the United States or
feeling that American rule is oppres-
sion.'
GREAT SHIPS FOR BRITAIN.
LONDON, Jan. 5.--The British Ad-
miralty has decided to build two bat
tle-ships which are intended to be the
largest in the world. The distinction
of having the largest warships has
hitherto been held by Italy, with the
Lepanto and her sister ship, the Ital-
lana. Great Britain's two projected
large warships, to be respectively
named the Queen and the Prince of
Wales, will be 1000 tons heavier than
the Italian ships mentioned, each hay
ing the displacement of $4,000 tons,
which is $500 heavier than Americas
biggest armor-clad vessel.

Some of the Republican leaders were
not in sympathy with the resolution.
Olmstead tried to get Hopkins to agree
that the committee would consider the
resolution within week, but the chair
man of the census committee declined
to make any pledge to that effect. The
debate upon the resolution was marked
by exceeding frankness. Some OF the
Southern members avowed that the at

ton of certain States in legally elimi-
mating the blacks as factors at the
polls, they said, was in the interest of
civilization and progress. After the

bill was taken up An
