Daniel Webster once told a friend
that his great speech in reply to
Hayne, which is the high water mark
Of modern eloquence, but which at the
time was supposed to have been deliy-
cred without preparation, had been
substantially prepared long before.
When called upon suddenly to reply to
the fiery Carolinian's attacks. which so
alarmed the New Englanders at the
capital, he was entirely at ease and
ready for the fray. for, as he said, he
had ''only to turn to his notes tucked
away in a pigeonhole." and refresh his
recollection. IF Hayne," he said, chad

CREATING A REIGN OF TERROR
BOlOmen Under Finatical Leader Active
in the Island of Negroes.

Manila, Jan. 27.-Colonel Charles
w. Miner of the. Sixth infantry re-
ports the condition on the Island of
Negroes to De unsatisfactory, and that
400 bolomen and forty men armed
with rifles, under command of the
fanatical bandit leader, Papa Isio, are
terrorizing the people.
The American chamber OF COM
merce here has formulated an appeal
to congress. in which it earnestly
prays for the enactment of laws al
lowing Cinnamon to enter the Philip
pine islands, under such restrictions
as the United States Philippine COM
mission may enact. The present re-
Strictive law concerning immigratiOn
continues the appeal, is of no benefit
to the Filipinos. Cinnamon, if admit
ted, would not enter into competition
with local labor, and their entry into
the islands is imperatively needed, as
the tobacco, hemp and sugar lands of
the archipelago are only partially cul-
tivated Without this legislation the
country cannot be properly devel-
oped. Building in Manila has been
badly retarded because of this lack
of labor.

rectors Of the federal party, is endeav-
Oring to inaugurate an exhibition OF

the United States, China, Japan, Siam

are inclined to think that this exhibit
ton should be delayed another year.
