ARE WEAK AND LAZY.
Opinions of Gen. Hughes Concerning
the Philippines.

Washington, March l0.-General
Hughes while being questioned Satur-
day before the senate Philippines COM
mittee, said the Fiiipinos made their
best fight on Feb. 5, 1899. He denied
that in subsequent battles they We're
slaughtered, but many We're killed when
cornered and continued to fight when
they should surrender. General Hughes
said that he thought that white labor
would be a total failure in the Phlnp-
pines, and that other labor would be
necessary there. The natives are, he
said, physically weak and lazy. ana the
witness thought the only resort would
be to continue to import Chinese and
japanese labor for the present at least,
General Hughes also expressed the
opinion that it would be we'll to en-
courage negro emigration to the Philip
pines from the United States. He added
that the colored troops taken to Samar
mixed readily with the natives, and that
many of the latter shed tears when the
colored soldiers We're removed. Next TO
the American negro, he thought the
Japanese most desirable. The Chinese
labor was the most available, but there
was prejudice against them in the
part of the Filipinos Speaking of the
American chamber of commerce of Ma
Mia he said it is composed largely of
Englishmen and other Europeans. who
did nos care a snap for American in
tereStS."
Senator Patterson continued his
questioning of General Hughes, taking
up the beginning of hostilities In Feb
ruary, 1899. The witness repeated his
previous statement that the first shot
had been fired by an American. Sena-
tor Patterson asked General Hughes
what he had meant when he had said,
upon hearing the firing at first, the
thing is on There was some sparring
between the two as on previous occa-
sions, the senator insisting upon di-
rect answer and the witness upon re-
plying IN his own way. II intend said
the latter, ITO answer in the best way 1
can to cover the whole conditions.

am informed / have a right to do. felt
that they had made an attack upon us
and that we must defend ourselves" he
added.
Did you mean simply that you
should defend yourselves or that you
should make an attack also?"
II had no intention beyond what
have stated
Mr.. Patterson then sought to bring
out the fact that the attack was made
before the Filipinos were ready, and
General Hughes admitted that the Fill
pino leaders were absent In confer
ence at Malolos. He said that HOSTILE
ties were so active the next day that
there was no opportunity to attempt to
heal the breach.
Senator Patterson questioned General
Hughes concerning the effect Of Presi
dent Mckinley's proclamation of jan
uary 10, 1899. for the extension Of the
military occupation of the United
States to the entire archipelago, asking
the witness If there was anything to do
but to- attack the Filipino forces.
General Hughes replied that the pol
icy was to use only peaceful means, so
long as they were effectual, but that
when these were exhausted to resort to
war.

Rivela and his Italian band played to
about 1000 people last night and made

popular in Omaha. That the little band
master will become the musical idol Of the
city within the first week OF his engage
ment is not doubted, for the people are al
ready giving him unstinted applause. This

in many particulars, excells the ~organiza-
lions OF previous musical festivals.

PLUMBERS AND THE MILITIA
United Association Reafirms It's Policy with
Regard to Civilian Soldiers
DISCUSSING NATURALIZATION PLAN
Financier of Cigar Makers Union Ex-
plains Working of system In
Vogue with His OrganIEa-
tiOn TO the Plumbers.

The relation Of members OF the Plumbers
union to the state guard and militia or
ganizations other than United States volun-
teers was defined by the convention of the
United association yesterday. A resolu-
tion was introduced by Horace Veach, a
delegate from the Indianapolis union, de-
claring that as long as the state militia is
used for the purpose OF protecting the priv
ileges Of the employers and to overawe en-
ployes no member OF the Plumbers union
should enroll in any such military organiza-
ton. The union has a provision to this
effect already in It's constitution, but there
had been reports that some Of the mem
bers had disregarded It and the resolution
Of the Indiana delegate was to reaflrm the
position. In the discussion which followed
the introduction the author stated hat It
was in no way intended to stop members
of the union from enlisting in the armies
OF the United States or OF any state when
the country was at war with any nation.
but that it was aimed solely at those MILL
tary organizations whose members are en-
ployed the larger part Of the time in civil
pursuits. The resolution was adopted by a
practically unanimous vote.
The greater part of the time Of the
morning session was taken up with the
discussion of the naturalization plan.
W. A. Campbell, international fnancier Of
the C~igarmakers' union, was present by
invitation Of the naturalization committee
TO explain the system in vogue in his
society. The plan proposed by the plumb
ers' committee is a slight variation of the
sam system, the method Of equalizing be-
tween, the local unions being identical.
Replies to Questions.
After his formal explanation Mr.. Camp
bell replied to questions asked by several
delegates and said that he would remain
In the city during the time the convention
is in session and will be pleased to answer
questions and explain difficult or obscure
points to delegates at any time. He ex-
pressed himself as greatly pleased with the
system as 1t operates in the Cigarmakers'
union. A rising vote OF thanks was given
the international officers Of that union for
their courtesy in supplying information to
the naturalization committee
While a majority OF the MEMBERS seem
generally in favor Of the committee's report,
and the amendments SO far made are trivial.
II Is expected that a hot fight will come up
later on the question Of the proportion of
dues to be paid by member to be retained
IN the local union. TheNdues probably will
be 30 cents a week and some delegates are
in .avor OF as much as one-third remaining
in the local treasury, while others would
Keep hut are-tsntk.

In the Pearse Family.

Then ]. ]. Smith presented another re-
port from that committee which, he ex-
planned, Mr.. Levy had declined to sign,
but which the other members thought
should come before the board for imme-
date action, even though the chairman,
w. F. Johnson, was absent from the city.
The report recommended the appointment
Of A. 8. Pearse as teacher in charge of the
department of biology at the high school
at a salary OF 800 per month, and A. NJ /.
Randolph as assistant in that department
at the same salary. J. ]. Smith said that
the other members OF the committee would
all like to wait for the return of Mr.. John
son, but the need OF early action was ur-
gent, as Mr.. Benedict, who has been In
charge Of the department Of biology, and
Miss Dintruff, his assistant. both Of whom
were expected to remain. had suddenly rc-
signed their positions. and something must
be done to I'LL their places before the OPEN
Ing OF school. When a vote was taken on
the adoption Of the report Mr.. Levy de-
clined to vote and Robert Smith questioned
the propriety of permitting a member to
so act when there was a bare quorum
presents While the discussion was in prog
ress. however, Mr.. Cermak arrived and re-
lieved what might have developed into a
delicate situation. 1t was decided that It
would be necessary to elect the teachers
by ballot and all OF them, including Mr..
Claasscn. were then balloted upon, each of
them receiving eight OF the nine votes. 1t
is to he presumed, therefore, that Mr..
Levy voted only for Prof. Claassen and one
Of the other members voted only for the
other two teachers.
On the subject Of additional room for
the Saratoga school ]. J. Smith recon-
mended that the board rent two rooms In
the brick building at the corner of TWEEN
ty-fourth and Ames. Just opposite the
school building. The rent Of the two
rooms is $47.5O, including janitor service.
which the board regarded as reasonable.
and the report was adopted.
