F|L|P|NOS ARE
 WEAK AND LAZY
Gen. Hughes and Senator Pat terson Have Another COIOquy

Washington, March S.-Senator Patter- son continued his questioning of General Hughes in the Senate committee on the Philippines today, taking up the begin ming of hostilities in February, 1sSs The witness repeated his previous statement that the first shot had been fired by an American Mr. Patterson asked General Hughes what he had meant when he said upon hearing the firing at first the thing Is on"
 There was some sparring between the two as on previous occasions' the seha- tor insisting upon a direct answer and the witness upon replying in his own way.
 "I intend" said the latter, ''to answer the best way I can to cover the whole conditions I wish to answer in my own way as I am informed I have right to do. I felt they had made an attack ,non us and that we must defend our selves" he added
 "Did you mean simply that you should make an attack also?'
 Answers Evasiveiy.
 I have no intention beyond what : have stated"
 Mir. Patterson then sought to bring out the fact that the attack was made be- fore the Filipinos were ready and Gen eral Hughes admitted that the Filipino leaders were absent in conference at Malalos. He said that nostiliues weiv so active the next day there was no op- nortunitv to heal the breach.
 General Hughes salu the Filipinos made their best fight on the fifth of February, 1899. He denied in subsequent battles they were slaughtered. but many were killed who cornered and continued to fight when they should have surrendered. A numoer of questions were asked by Senator Du- oois on points covered by the Philippines government bill now pending in commit tee. In reply to these General Hughes said he thought that white labor would be total failure in the nllippines and that other labor would be necessary there.
 Natives Weak and Lazy. The natives, he saIu, were physically weak and lazy, and the witness thought the only resort would be to continue to i'm port the japanese and Chinese lapor for the present at least.
 General Hughes also expressed the opinion that it would be we'll to encour- age emigration to the Philippines from the United States. Next .o the American negro the Japanese were the most desi- rable The Chinese labor was the most available, but there was a prejudice against them on the part of the peo- pies Speaking of the American chamber of commerce, of Manila, he said it is composed largely of Englishmen and of other Europeans, 'who did not care a snap for American interests.'
 The committee adjourned for the day.

Grand Rapids, Mich. March S.-The mystery surrounding the murder of Mrs. Ada Klump of Lowell, by the poisonous headache powder last Sunday, is still un- solved, although Sheriff Chapman is do- ing his best to unravel it. William Klump the husband, who had been suspected or being the principal or at least an accom- plice in the tragedy is still confined in the county jail. The officers only clue seems to have been broken by the re- ceipt this afternoon of a telegram from Chicago as follows: 'In Chicago since September-Miss Hattie Whitfield, 16S4 Lexington street"
 There were reports from Lowell re- sidents that Miss Whitfield had been seen in Lowell within the past few days. It is on this theory of a woman in the case" that the police are working. When closely questioned by the sheriff today Klump broke down and cried like child. q think there must be woman in the case" he said, "and if l could only tell you, I would, but den't know anything about il"

TO REMOVE TAX ON SUGAR.
Enoland Will Give West Indies Relief
 So Long Prayed for.

London. March S.-It is learned by the Associated Press that the British gov ernment intends in the near future to remove the half-penny per pound duty which is now imposed on West Indian sugar. This will afford the West Indies the relief they have demanded until the Brussels convention goes into force.
 Between now and Sep,emDer, 1903. ac- cording to the terms of the convention, Great Britain can take any steps she deems advisable to safeguard the indus try. The abolition of the duty on West Indian sugar is tantamount to giving it preferential treatment over all other su- gars, though this, of course, ceases the moment the Brussels agreement becomes operative.
 According to representatives of lead ing sugar houses here, the effort will be to bring to the English ports the West Indian sugar which is now going to American markets.

 He was asked what would be the effect if the United States should acquire concession from Costa Rica along the same route, and replied that it would be a violation of the company's concession, but added that the company, while assert ing its right to the concession. would not do it so obstructively as to prevent the United States from constructing the ca nal.
