Important Question.

ST. PAUL, July 19.-Rev. Patrick j.
Hart, a Catholic clergyman, formerly OF
st. Paul, now military chaplain at Fort
Meade, s. D., is on a visit to his old home.
Father Hart spent two years and a half
as chaplain to the United States forces In
the Philippines. To an Associated Press
representative today Father Hart said:
Before ADMIRAL Dewey's fleet arrived in
the harbor of Manila the members OF tnose
religious orders. who had been previously
been driven into Manila, where alone their
lives were in safety. OF those who had
not come into Manila. some were actually
put TO death, and the others imprisoned
been Imprisoned were ultimately released
by the American army. The question IS
raised. of course. why such antipathy was
shown by the Philippine people to the mem
ohservation, the reasons are the following:
They were the land holding friars: Tine
Filipinos were their tenants ana had peen
for years paying rent to them, which rent
was collected from the people IN the name
ACQUISITION of those lanos by the friars
was with the best possible intentions ana
principles. The people, then saVages, were
gathered upon those lands py the Iriars,
Of the friars was this: They having. civil
lied and Christianized the people, failed TO
observe what was the fruits OF their own
teachings. the development In the people
OF Independence. which led those people TO
the desire OF being proprietors themselves,
This point reached In the teaching or the
people, the friars should have aided in
making them proprietors.

CASTRO ABANDoNS His PLAN
Will Not Attack the RevoIutionistu
Mt Barcelona, as Was
Proposed.

WASHINGTON. July 1s.-Minister Bowen
at Caracas has cabled the State department
as follows:
THE president Of Venezuela has aband-
oned the idea OF attacking the enemy at
Barcelona and is proposing to return to
Caracas soon"
President Castro went to Barcelona,
which was partially invested by the rev.
olutionists about ten days ago, landing
from a government warship and asserting
that he would clear out the rebels within
fifteen days. He had a considerable force
Of soldiers with him and the reason for his
change Of mind in the absence OF a de-

Caracas by land, owing to the presence
between himself and the capital OF The
revolutionary forces and he must return

Amount of Oats for July Deliv-
cry Puts the shorts
in n Pantc.

CHICAGO, July 1e.-In q very excited
session Of the Board OF Trade today oats
sold at 65 cents, the highest price here
since 1874 for that cereal. The cause OF
this rocket flight. which was a gain Of is
cents In three days and Of IN cents today,
was the fear of shorts in July options
that they might not be able to secure oats
with which to fulfill their contracts. Back
OF this cause lay that OF cat fields yellow
for the harvest, but devastated by the
heavy rains of the last few days.
Yesterday trade in oats on the local ex-
change was very much excited. Today It
almost reached a panic. From the first
tap Of the starting gong terror filled tho
hearts Of the bears in the oats pit.
Reports during the latter end Of Jun
and early July indicated excellent harvest
Of oats. Shorts. who had been pinched a
little early In July options. determined TO
hang out for a reaction when good weather
arrived. Stocks Of old oats became rapidly
depleted under q constant good cash de-
mand.
Mayor James Patten Of Evansville a
cornered May oats, and had done It 30 sue
cessful1y that there was no corpse" OF big
cash supplies to bury. When the heavy
rains continued receipts OF new standard
oats. which must he delivered on new July
contracts, were almost nil.
Today only eighty-one cars OF all kinds
Of oats arrived and only twenty eight cars
were of contract grade. Shorts" bid for
what little stun there was offered. The
bulls believed prices would go still higher.
and chief OF these bulls was Mayor Patten,
who is supposed to have q tight hold or
nearly 1000, 900 bushels OF new July. Most
Of this supply OF short contract was bought
around SO cents. The row figures that
only prohts are going to the bull clique.
July opened 2% cents higher than last
nights close at 60 cents. There was some
haggling for a short time and then in
jumps Of 1 or 2 cents at a time the price
bounded to IS cents. Here and there longs
liquidated for good profits, but the CLOSE
was very strong and congested, IN cents
gain for July for the day at e4h cents.
September felt the influence Of the July
strength and made fair gains, closing " a
cent up at 81 cents.

Candidates for Congress.

able candidate and the republicans Of that
county. who hold their convention next
Saturday, have about agreed upon Mr.. VIII
son as the proper person. In the Eighth
district It is understood that Senator Por-
ter Of Centerville, who has been consid-
cred a possible democratic candidate against
Hepburn, has refused positively to make the
race. and this leaves the field free for J.
B. Sullivan of Creston. The democratic
conventions have not been generally called
and there is but little discussion Of can
didates among the democrats.
