Opposed to Plans.

Captain Steel was opposed TO the es-
tabltshment Of civil government in the
town OF Lucban. and he testified that
Colonel Gardiner insisted that the ciyi.
government be established. Finally
Colonel Gardiner arbitrarily ordered him
to do so. Ee entered a protest. but en-
deavored to carry ont the orders given
him. He went TO Lucban and told the
principales of the town that they would
have to ballot for a presidente He put
a guard Of soldiers over them to compel
them to vote. They finally balloted for
a man who was in jail as hostage fof
his two sons in the insurgent army.

So confident was the Administration

the President had given consideration

When NJ. Bellany stcrer CT Ohio.

Washington in the early spring he had
several conversations with Mr.. Roose-
welt about transfer TO some other and
higher diplomatic post, and 1t was
tentatively understood that Mr.. Storer
would be sent to Berlin when Nj. Waite

been nothing since then 20 change thIs

CHARITY BALL
A SUCCESS.

There was goodly attendance at
the charity ball given last night by
the Woman's Relief Corps, and every
affair a success. While it may be
said that there was a good crowd out,
yet there was not by any means as
many people as should have patron
lied such an event. The hall should
have been packed to its utmost capac-
ity. There were good many tickets
sold however, which We're not repre-
sented.
No doubt the reason why more peo-
pie did not attend the ball was due to
the fact that there have been so many
events of social interest this week,
that people We're pretty we'll tired
out. The appearance of two first
class theatrical performance, together
with several political meetings, work
ed against the attendance of the char
ity ball.
But Notwithstanding all things
affair, it was what might we'll be
called splendid social event.
Prof. Boyer''s orchestra furnished
the music of course, and several of
his two steps and waltzes calle forth
such applause that the orche ;tra was
obliged to respond to the encore.
Mrs. Ella B. Ackerman acted as
chairman of the committee for the
ball and together with her assistants
worked faithfully for its success. A
committee of the ladies canvassed the
merchants and sold large number of
tickets to those who did not intend to
go to the ball.
The cause indeed was a most worthy
one, as every cent which was made at
the ball will go to the general charity
fund of the order. So many demands
have been made upon the treasury of
the order lately, that it was necessary
for the order to take some method of
replenishing it. and the event last
night was the result.
A neat amount will be cleared by
the ladies to be turned into the treas
ury from the efforts of the committee.

Root Said to Have Blamed spooner
Amendment-cause of Some
Hostility.

Washington, Jan f0--Secretary
Root gave an interesting exposition
of the condition Of affairs in the
Philippines, in the course Of hear.
ing yesterday before the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs. in connec
ton with the army appropriation bill
The meeting was behind closed doors
and no exact statement Of Mr.. Root s
remarks We're given out The Asso.
ciated Press furnished Il statement Of
what was understood to embody the
more essential features This state.
ment contained the following In part.
The discussion Of the Philippine
conditions was brought out by ques-
ton by Mr.. Hay, Of Virginia, as to
whether civil government could be
maintained In the isla&ds without the
presence of an army. In reply Mr..
Rot stated that the army was neces.
sary as a moral force to maintain the
civil administration now established.
One of the main causes, he said. why
there had not been more progress in
the Philippines was that the Spooner
amendment passed by Congress last
year and restricting the grant of fran.
ehises had the effect OF preventing
the investment Of capital. and the
consequent employment of labor.
Many people were idle, and many of
these became eonspirators simply
because they were idle.
Mr.. Root pointed out that even in
provinces where civil government
had been a success there were men
conspifing to assist in the agitation
and warfare carried on in neighbor-
ing provinces. On the whole, how.
ever, the Secretary expressed the be-
lief that II Congress enacted the bill
proposed by Senator Lodge, or that
of Representative Cooper, of Wis.
consin, providing systems of laws for
the Philippines, it would be possible
soon thereafter gradually to reduce
the military establishment in the Phil
ippines. He did not believe it would
be rapid or complete termination of
military rule. Mr.. Root said that bet
ter progress had been made in the last
year than had been expected, and he
expressed the opinion that civilization
ultimately would be extended to the
people Of the islands.
