SLAVERY IN PHILIPPINES
The Number of Slaves Manumitted
Has Been Very Small.
NATIVE OFFICIALS DERELIcT IN DUTY
The General Conviction OF the Commits
sion Is that Chinese Should Not
Enter the Islands.

Washington. March 5.--Governor TAFT
was questioned further concerning slavery
In the Philippines by members OF the house
insnlar committee today. lie said the num-
Der Of slaves who had been manumitted
was comparatively small. The commission
had undertaken no legislation ms to slavery
and the action taken by the military had
been first TO release Christian slaves ana
second to prevent slave raiding parties from
capturing slaves. Besides this, there was
the constant moral influence being exerted
toward the eradication OF the system MT
Patterson Crenn) asked II the dato could
enforce the death penalty against slaves
and Governor Taft answered that the
datos authority extended to the death pen
atty after a trial.
The sultan of Jolo and his datos under
the Rates treaty received stated amounts
Qrarterly. They We're supposed TO keep
order and prevent crime but the governor
OF Iolo was rather deficient In his duties
As to the proposed new coinage law. Gov
eruor Taft said that II there were differ
erces OF theories Of coinage the commission
did not want this to delay the other essen
tlal features Of legislation for the island.

Grand Master Myers Of the
Masonic fraternity spoke OF the
possibility of erecting home for
the widows and orphans of mem
bers of that fraternity. That IS an
object greatly to be desired. In
a few years the fraternity will
have paid for the magnificent
temple in this city and it will be
a revenue producer. Then it
should begin the erection of such
a home as mentioned. 1t is in
the accomplishment of such a
purpose that an order of the
pretentions attained by the
Masonic fraternity reaches the

The ministers Of the different
churches of Hamilton, Ohio, have
signed an agreement by which
they are not to hold services over
the remains of persons who were
not church members, and who
had not led lives of which they
could speak words of praise. Con-
cerning this, the Arkansas Dem
ocrat says: "It is not necessary
for the officiating minister to say
things of the dead which are not
true. He may say things in a
general way that will comfort
those who are burdened with sor-
row, and he would be heartless
indeed if he refused.
