bY Union Leaaue Club at Frisco.

Taft of the Philippines left last evening
for Washington. He was the guest of
the Union League Club in the afternoon,

ception.
Governor Taft spoke briefly. He said
that Californians naturally took more
interest in the Philippines than the
east. Then he added:
The difficulty in working for the
American republic is that the people de-
sire everything to be done at once. The
problems of the Philippines are not ca
pable of solution over night. Lam more

the prospects of a peaceful government

II know from your newspapers and
merchants that you are anxious for free
trade between the Philippines and
America, but this can not be done. All
we desire is to have enough money to
run good government If we do not
have good government commercial re-

the tariff will form only a slight obsta-

The Isthmian Canal.

Congress, at its last session, direct
ed the President to ascertain whether
the French company owning the
Panama canal and franchise could
give a secure title of the property to
the United States for $4o,ooo,ooo,
and in case such a title could be Sc
cured, to negotiate a treaty with
Colombia for perpetual lease of
the canal site. Attorney General
Knox went to Paris to ascertain the
character of title. He reports to the
President that the title can pass
without question of its validity. No
treaty has been made with Colombia.
A revolution has disturbed that
country all summer, but is now APP
parently about at an end. The Co.
lombian government claims that a
new congress must be elected to
change the constitution of the coun-
try to allow the government to ne
gotiate such treaty as the United
States desires, and members of con-
gress cannot be elected until the
country is pacified. In the mean
time it is claimed that the United
States has the right, or may have
when the title to the canal passes to
it. to build and maintain the canal
without further arrangements with
the Colombian government. Still
it is thought advisable to secure a
treaty to quiet any unpleasant feel
ings. The promoters Of the Nicara-
guam canal had said that their scheme
would succeed because they believed
the French company could not give
an acceptable title; now they base
their hopes of success for the adop-
ton of the Nicaragua route on the
inability or indisposition of Colombia
to grant the demanded concessions.
The Colombian government Off
Gals express an earnest desire that
the United States shall build the
canal, and as it is evidently for the
interest of the people of Colombia
to have the canal completed, there
seems to be little doubt but that a
satisfactory understanding between
the countries will be arrived at.

marching in large body had no
intention of violence but that they
were on a religious mission with the
object of converting people to their
ways in religious matters. They
are inoffensive, create no disturbance
and are even averse to accepting
food and shelter. They are fanatics,
but peaceable and mild hammered in
their crusade. They occasion the
government considerable trouble in
that they subject themselves to much
suffering from lack of food and shell
ter. They are impracticable people
of little value as citizens. There
are about 1000 of them in Canada.
They were invited to come from
Russia, the Canadian government
offering them free homes in Assini-
boia. Count Tolstoi interested him
self in their behalf and assisted them
to America. 1t is said now that the
Canadian government has asked
Russia to take them back and that
she refuses to do so since Canada
invited them to America.
They are queer people. Ac-
cepting the Biblical doctrine that
''the cattle on thousand hills are
Gods" They are averse to she'd
ding the blood of animals, of using
them as beasts of burden, using their
meat for food or of any product of
animals-as milk, butter, cheese,
eggs, etc. Recently they have
turned all their cattle loose and the
government has collected and sold
them, reserving the proceeds for the
benefit of these deluded people.
These Doukhobors have but recent
ly adopted the absurd conclusion
that it is a sin to make use of ami
NAL products, reasoning to this end
from their unjusti6able conclusion
that it was offensive to God for man
to make use of animals to assist in
his subsistence and comfort. The
carrying of this doctrine into effect
has led them to make of themselves
beasts of burden. They drag the
plow, sow grain by hand, gather it
with cradles and sickles, thrash it
with fails, and if they have any to
sell, carry it to market on their
backs. Their absurd position even
carries them so far as to discard the
use of all wooden and leather goods. |
And these people are SO strongly
convinced they are right that they
have started out on a winter crusade,
men, women and children, to con-
vert the world to their views.

Attendance at Universities.

UNCONVENTIONAL schools, schools
under the control of religious socie-
ties, do not meet the patronage along
church lines that they formerly did.
The student will go to that school
which seems to him to offer the best
conveniences and advantages. The
great state universities are the more
generally patronized to the exclu-
sion of UNCONVENTIONAL institutions,
because the state universities are
better equipped and generally fur
nish educational facilities free of
tuition fees. The old colleges of
national repute, like Harvard, Yale,
Brown, Princeton and Columbia,
will always be popular. Catholic
universities do not secure anywhere
near majority of the students who
are brought up in the Catholic
church. There are 4,o85 Catholic
students in the secular universities
in the United States. The Univer-
sity of P ennsylvania has 500 Catholic
students on its rolls, while the Catho-
lie University at Washington, the
most important school of that de-
nomination in the country, has but
100 Catholic students in attendance.
