 Ruling Element.

Washington, March 12-David ?. Ba1rows chief of the bureau of non Christian tribes of the Philippine Ts;- ands, today gave testimony before the senate committee on Philippines. He separated the Filipin5s into two eie- lnents. the cultivated class and the subordinate class. although tne Gom- in2rt cultured class is small. only bout 2 dozen families in every town oI q population Of Io.o9o. The re.nainIer have no education and 10 wealth and are controlled economically and so- ci&iiy by the upper class.
 For two years. he said. this latter class and the Americans have abored under great nisapprehorsi0n of each Cth=r but there was an understanding now. He agreed with Governor Taft that the small @arrisons quarJerad in the midst of the FiiiPinoa hindered the life Of the town and acted as an irri- taEt to the natives. The upper class he said. possessed an influence over the lower class that the United States au- thorities have been slow. to appreciate
 Among the lower class. MT. Barrows said, there was a strong desire for social betterment. as MS evidenced by the sending O. children to school.
 In response to g question by Nr Hale he described the masses as being uucultured and uneducated, closely fol- lowing the directions aEd feelings of their leaders. whether in hostility to the United States Or in the exhibition Of q friendly spirit.
