Washington, March S.-senator Patter-
son continued his questioning of Gen.
eral Hughes in the Senate Committee on
the Philippines today, taking up the be-
ginning of hostilities in February, 1899.
The witness repeated his previous state
ment that the first shot had been fired
by an American. Senator Patterson
asked Gen. Hughes what he had meant
when he said upon hearing the firing at
first: The thing is on" After some
sparring between the two the witness
said:
Il felt that they had made an attack
upon US and that We must defend our
~slves."
Die you mean simply that you should
defend yourselves or that you should
make an attack also?'
Il had no intention beyond what lave
stated
Mr.. Patterson then sought to bring out
the fact that the attack was made before
the Filipinos were ready and Gen.
Hughes admitted that the Filipino mill
tary leaders We're absent in a conferences
at Maiolos. He said that hostilities were
SO active the next day that there was
no opportunity 10 attempt to heal the
breach.
Gen. Hughes said the Filipinos made
their best fight on the 5th Of February,
1899. He denied that in subsequent
battles they We're slaughtered, but many
were killed when cOrnered and continued
to fight when they should surrender.
A number of questions were asked by
Senator Dubois on points covered by the
Philippine Government Bill now pend
ing in the committee. In reply to these
Gen. Hughes said he thought that white
Philippines and that other abor would
be necessary there. The natives are, he
| said. physically weak and lazy and the
witness thought the only resort would be
to continue TO import Chinese and Japan
csc labor for the present at least.
Gen. Hughes also expressed the opin-
ion that it would be we'll to encourage
negro emigration to the Philippines from
the United States. He added that the
cOlorcd troops taken to Samar mixed
readily with the natives and that many
Of the latter shed tears when the colored
soldiers were removed. Next to the
csc most desirable. The Chinese labor
was the most available, but there was
a prejudice against them on the part of
the FilipinOs.
Speaking Of the American Chamber Of
Commerce of Manila, he said it is com
posed largely of Englishmen and other
Europeans, who did not care a snap
for American interests

Draushon's Practical Business Col

schools of national reputation. They are
strongly endorsed by business men from
Maine to California. Prof. Draughon.
who is author OF our textbooks on Book
keeping, and proprietor of these %institu-
tons, doubtless expends more money for
securing positions for his students than
almost any one Business College in this
country takes in as tuition. He guar
antees positions under reasonable condi-
money for tuition in bank till course is
completed and position secured. Four
weeks course Of Bookkeeping in his col
legeS is equal to twelve weeks in any
college that does not employ his i'm
proved methods of teaching. His col
leges also offer special advantage in Pen
manship. Shorthand, Typewriting, etc.
1t is generally conceded by those who are
in position to know that Prof. Dr%aughons
success in the Business College work has
been greater than that of any. one else.
His superior course OF instruction and
his special facilities for securing posi-
tons arc almost an offset to competition
where the merits of his work are known.

In his eul0gy of Mckinley Secretary
Hay grew particularly fervid when he
came TO speak of what he called THE
development of our trade in the feur
Mckinley years
Here Mr. Hay seemed to himself TO
be entering the realm of fable And
well he might have done. for he found
the sole proof that our trade had been
incredibly prosperous during those
four years IN the excess II exports
over imports of merchap Use.
He did not suggest rhe ghost of a
reason for assuming tilIt an excess OF
exports is any PROOF al all OF pros
perity. If he will take the trouble TO
glance at the statistics of British trade
he viii find that the excess of imports
for the last two years was more than
twice as great as our excess OF eX-
ports for the same time. Yet the Eng
lish do not imagine that they are going
to their grave with galloping economic
consumption because their imports are
exceeding their exports at this rate
Nor does any respectable economist
imagine such a thing.
The truth is that we might as well
trag of our high tides, our sundogs.
our halos around the moon or any-
thing else one can think of as of our
excess. of exports. Such Dragging is
