Unearned Wages May Be Assigned.

Chicago, December 11.-Unearned
wages may be legally assigned, ac-
cording to a decision handed down
today by Judge Adams of the Appel
late court. This holdink is contrary
to the decisions that have heretofore
been given by the Circuit and Superior
courts. These courts have held that
1t was against public policy for a
wage Garner to assign money not yet
due. The effect of the new ruling, it
is said, will be to strengthen the hold
of money lenders upon their victims.

Colon, December 1.-THE Colombian
gunboat Presidente Marroquin, with over
1000 government troops on board, reached
Cartagena December 8. after a passage of
three days from Colon. An accident to
the gunboat's machinery accounted for

w Greely and President Jacob Schurman
of Cornell unive-1i-H ,e-e the principal
speakers at a meeting of the Nineteenth
Century club here tonight. The meeting
was devoted to the discussion of the
United States in the Philippines"
President Schurman spoke In part as
follows:
"It is now known to all who follow the
course of Philippine affairs that the
F1lipinos are the victims of famine, pes
thence. wholesale loss of farm animals by
disease, depression of agriculture, decline
of trade and disastrous arrangement Of
the currency.
President Roosevelt has compelled us
to think again of the Philippine problem.
He recently stated that the flag could no
more come down in the Philippines than
it could in Alaska. Now where the Amer
lean flag goes 1t symbolizes the sover-
eighty of the people over whom 1t waves,

THE HOUSE.

Washington, December 1.-THE house
today devoted practically the whole day
to discussion of a resolution to limit the
period of taking testimony in the
Wagoner-Bu contested election case
to forty days and finally adopted reso-
luton to that effect by party vote-155
to 118.
The purpose of the resolution is to per-
NIT the house to pass on the case at this
session Under the regular method of
procedure several months are given to
the preparation of a contested election
case. Mr. Butler, the sitting member,
was unseated at the last session and
again returned at the last election to fill
the vacancy He had over 6oOO plurality
on the face of the present returns, but
the returns are contested.
The house agreed to hold session on
Sunday. January 25. for the purpose OF
paving tribute to the memories of the
late Representatives Russell of Connecti-
cut and Sheppard and DeGraffenreid Of
Texas.

Must Become States.

Hence. if the flag is to stay in the
Philippines, Luzon and the Visayas by
the logic of American political philoso-
ply, must become states In the union as
New Mexico and Oklahoma and Alaska
are bound to be. If this result Is not de-
sired. the Filipinos must either be re-
tanned in forcible subjection or given
their independence as the United States
has given independence to Cuba, and
England has given a not less real inde-
pendence to Canada and Australia.
From the beginning, nature and his
tory have cried out, and now experience,
too. crys against the folly of the project
of Americanizing or Anglicizing the Fill
pinos. Recognize the men of Luzon and
the Visayans as fellot Christians. with
rights equal to your own; consult their
IDEAS and sentiments and do what they
want; and, above ALL bear in mind that
no nation can raise another upward, but
can almost provide favorable conditions
for the weaker nation to stand upon its
own feet, and makes its own way. Do
this and you have the clue, and the only
clue to the solution of this ditIicult and
onnressiVa PhflfpDine question"

General Greeley Talks.

General Greedy prefaced his address by
remarking that, personally, he thought
the Spanish American war was a mis-
take, as was the acquisition of the Phil
ippines; but, he said, he was a soldier
with his duty to perform first, so he
would not say more than that he did not
think much good could come of the pos
session of the islands. He did not see
how this country could get rid Of them
now, and therefore 1t ought to do what
seems best for this government and for
the future of the world
General Greely said in part:
"Out of chaotic conditions 1t becomes
the duty of the regular army first to
evolve order and secure peace, which was
a purley military duty. Incidentally came
also civilian duties.
'I decline general discussion of alleged
military cruelties in the Philippines. No
true soldier seeks shelter in excuses or
in extenuation Of extra-legal acts. He
pays without whimpering the penalty ex-
acted by the law, and accepts both the
law and the verdict of his peers. Be
yond question some regular officers, worn
out by the horrors of a tropical cli-
mate, irritated beyond patience by Mala-
sian perfidy and enraged at untold cruel
ties, especially on friendly Filipino men,
women and children, took repressive ac-
tion along lines unaccordant with the
spirit of this age.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1902-12-12

Recurring to civil duties, these In
volved the replacement of antiquated
monarchial and autocratic administra-
ton by republican government and dem
ocratic Institutions. a far more difficult
task than the organization Of an ordi-
nary government This meant regenera-
tion and reconstruction along lines of
theory and of action that would harmo-
nize with the advanced ideas of the
American people as regards the rights Of
man.
Five general officers of the regular
army, Merritt, Otis Macarthur, Chaffee
and Davis, successfully effected this won
derful Transformation. The sound judg-
ment of these officers has been questioned
by critics more or less competent, but
have yet to hear any imputation on their
integrity of administration, honesty Of
purpose. fidelity to duty or nobleness of
aim. Moreover their personal lives and
characters are an honor to their coun-
try"
