st. Paul, Mimi, July 21.-Rev. Pat
rick ]. Hart, Roman Catholic clergy
man, formerly of st. Paul, who spent
two years and half as chaplain with
the United States forces in the Philip
pines, says of conditions in the archi-
pelago: The Filipino people are in
tensely Catholic, most firmly attached
to the priests OF the Catholic church,
devoted to its practices and animated
in all their relations with deep relig-
iouS sentiments. There is no antipa-
thy whatever on their part to the
priests OF the Catholic church, as such.
Their attachment to the native Fill
pino priests was unlimited. If they
show opposition to the friars it is for
other reasons than for that of their
priesthood. They show no opposition
whatsoever to the Jesuits, Lazarists or
Capuchins; on the contrary, to men,
bers of those orders they are much at

Terrible Effect of Storm
--MiSsissippi Flood
Devastation.

Baltimore, Md, July 21.-A tornado,
accompanied by thunder, vivid light
ming and Il heavy rain, suddenly burst
upon Baltimore at l 80 p. III. yesterday,
coming from the southwest, with the
net result that eleven persons lost
their lives, hundreds of houses We're
unroofed, trees in the public parks and
streets were torn up by the roots,
many buildings damaged and several
people injured. The storm exhausted
its fury in less than - minutes. The
damage done in the business part of
the city was comparatively slight, be-
Ing confined to the blowing down of
signs and injuries to roofs. 1t was in
the residence portion of the city along
the river front and in the harbor
where the wind spent its violence.
Most of the Dead Are Children.
OF those who perished nine We're
drowned in the harbor from open
boats, one was killed by u falling tree
and one by live wire. The following
is list of the killed: Drowned in the
harbor-ROy Eateman, y years old;
Joseph Cain, 10 years; John Cain, u
years; Thomas Carroll, 21 years; Har-
ry Mccormick, 10 years; Mrs. Mary
Schuler, % years; Harry s. Schuler,
10 months; Olive Schuler, years;
Charles Schuler, years. Killed by a
falling tree-William Cornish, colored.
Killed by a live wire-Charles Schae-
fer.
How Some of Them Died.
The first three victims on the above
list We're out in Il rowboat on the
river with three other companions.
When the storm broke the boat was
capsiZed. three being drowned and
three rescued. The boy killed by a
live wire had, in company with two
other boys, gone into IL shed for pro-
lection, when the shed blew down and
a live wire fell on one of them, re-
sulting in his death. The drowning of
Mrs. SchuIer and her children was the
most pathetic Incident of the hurri-
cane. Michael Schuler, with his wife
and three children, accompanied by
his brother-in-law, Joseph Cook, and
his wife, had gone out into the harbOr
for a sail in thirty1fOot boat. The
boat was capsized and those drowned
were shut up in the cabin.

Four Order Sol LiI,eh.

perS OF tnOSe orders they are much at
tached.
Four Orders Not Liked.
"a fact, however so plain and visi-
Dle To me, and l could not close my
eyes to it, was that the Filipino
showed much antipathy 10 the MEM
DerS of the Augustinian, Dominican,
Recollet and Franciscan orders. Be
fore Admiral DeWey'S fleet arrived in
the harbor of Manila the members OF
those religious orders. who had been
previously scattered through the arch
ipelago. had been driven into Manila
where alone their lives were in safety
OF those that had not come into Ma
Mia some were actually put to death
and the others imprisoned and even
cruelty tortured. Those who had been
imprisoned were ultimately released
by the American army.
Reason That They Are Hated.
The question is raised, of course,
why such antipathy was shown by the
FflipinoS TO the members of those spe-
citic orders. From my observations
the reasons are the following: They
were the land-holding friars. The Fill
ipinos were their tenants and had been
for long years paying rent to them,
which rent was collected from the peo-
pie in the name of the Spanish govern
ment The original acquisition of those
lands by the friars We're the possible
intentions and principles. The people,
then savageS, were gathered upon
those lands by the friars, civilized and
ChriStianiZed.
Where the Friars Erred.
The mistake of the friars was this:
They having civilized and Christian
lied the people. they failed to observe
what was the fruits of their own
in,
pie of sense of independence which
led those people TO the desire of being
proprietOrs themselves. The friars
should have aided in making them pro-
prietorS. 1t is Il case over again of
Irish landlordiSm and tenancy

TECH" SCHOOL CLOSES.
Annual Address Made by MT. Richard
 H. Edmonds.

Atlanta, June 19.-The graduating ex- ercises of the Georgia School of Technol- ogy took place this morning in the chapel of the school and were the most success full in the history of the school. Twenty five young men received diplomas from the institution. An announcement was made by President Lyman Hall that the $lO.00O necessary to secure the gift of $00O0 from the general educational board of New York had been raised
 In making the annual address Mir. Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the Man ufaoturers' Record of Baltimore, made an earnest plea in behalf of the broadest sort of manual and technical education for southern boys. He said that in the struggle for individual. community or national success the trained expert was to be the leader and that unless the south promptly develops It's now limited facilities for the industrial training of the tens of thousands of white boys who would gladly avail themselves of the opportunity, its greatest natural advan- tages will no more enable them to win in competition with the technical experts of other sections than would a naturally strong position enable an army equipped with the old muzzle loader to withstand an assault from one holding a position naturally weaker but equipped with the repeating rifle and the breech loading cannon.

RECIPROCITY MEN
 AT WHITE HOUSE
ROOSEVELT GIVES A DINNER TO ABOUT A DOZEN LEADING RE- PuBLIcANs TO TALK OVER THE SITUATION.

Washington. June 19.-The President tonight gave a dinner to about 6 dozen leading Republican senators favorable to Cuban reciprocity and discussed with them the ways and means of securing reduction of the duty, on Cuban pro- ducts in order that the pledges made to Cuba may be redeemed.
 Among those at the dinner were Sen ators Allison, Aldrich, Hale Spooner, Lodge and Platt. Secretary Root also was one of the guests.
 The President. 1t can be stated, is firm and steadfast in his determination that in some form or other and at the earliest opportunity, there shall be secured to the new republic of Cuba a substantial. reduction of the import tariff on her exports to the United States. How or when the result will be obtained is a matter that the President must leave to future development
 The President will not content himself with shelving the question now that he has urged the matter on Congress in a special message but will take such fur thor steps as may be calculated to secure the reduction he has urged whether there "aii bc uH sAlld SesslOn or not ana IT 50 when 1t shall be conveyed, Is altogether rroblematical. For the present efforts will be continued to secure cooperation in leglsla tion in this session on the part of the Republican Senators who last night opposed reciprocity with Cuba If 1t ap- pears that q treaty will accomplish re- suits one will be negotiated and submitted to the Senate whenever the occasion seems opportune. The treaty-making power Is vested in the President and a decision has been reached to exercise the power should that appear the best method of obtaining favored trade rela- tions with Cuba.
 At the conclusion of the conference one of the most prominent Senators present expressed the opinion that Congress would adjourn by the first week in July. He hardly thought. he said, that there would be anything done in a legislative way in the direction Of Cuban reciprocity at this session.

PHILIPPINE DEBATE
 BEGINS IN THE HOUSE
MT. Cooper of Wisconsin Delivers Ex- haustiVe and Forceful Argument.
 Should Not Be Party Question.

Washington, June l9.-The opening day of the weeks debate on the Philippine government bill in the House was signal ized by a remarkably strong and exhaus- tive speech by MT. Cooper of Wisconsin. chairman of the committee on insuar af- fairs. Much of the speech wus a general defense of the policy pursued by the ad- ministration. He contended that the prob lem of the Philippines should not be a party question; that both parties brought on the war with Spain. and the votes of %embers of both parties ratified the treaty which made the island American territory. The most telling portion of his speech was the parallel he drew between the present attitude of the opposition during and preceding the civil wer.
 MT. Jones of Virginia, the ranking member Of the minority of the commit tee, made an able presentation of the Democratic position. but he yielded the floor after speaking for about an hour, and will resume tomorrow morning.
