The election of Mr. F'oss over ono ol

opened the eyes Of the machine to the

they begin 10 think.
Every one Interested In Missouri is
Jupilant over the development OF the

THESE WILL SEE THE PRINCE.
People of New York, Washington, Niagara
Falls and Chicago.
(By thes Associated Press }

Washington, Jan. 1S-The committee
charged with the arrangements for the
reception and entertainment of Prince
Henry today decided that it would be i'm
possible to yield to the requests OF many
cities to have the Prince visit them. 1t
is likely besides New York, Washington
and Niagara Falls the journey will in
clude Chicago only of the large cities.
1t also was decided owing to the tide.
to have the launch occur on the original
date, February %. This will neccssi-
tate two trips on the part of the Prince
between New York and Washington.
The Prince will come to Washington
from New York, arriving here on the
morning of the 24th He will be met at
the station by handsome military es-
cort and conveyed to the German EN-

To Destroy the Frlars' Power.

Washington, Jan. 1Ss-Secretary Root
was heard on the question of the friar
lands in the Philippines before the
House Committee on Insular Affairs to-
day
He began his statement by explaining
the enormous power which the religious
orders had long exercised in the Philip
pines. They were represented at Mad
rid, and the archbishop was quite as
powerful as the governor general of the
islands.
The orders had largely supplanted the
native priests. AS result of the great
political power of the orders. the friars
became the medium of communication
between the local parishes and the CEN
trail government. They held large tracts
of the best land, amounting to about
600 acres at the time of American
occupation. The people rented the lands
ard thus a landlord and tenant system
was now in operation. This caused in
tense hatred. and Mr.. Root said the
feeling of the tenant classes was not
cqualled in bitterness by anything lin
Ireland.
Aguinado had taken advantage of this
intense feeling of the tenants against the
friar landlords and the movement had
become very popular. The Secretary
said that about the most important
thing to be done at this time was to dis
pose of the friar question, as it was felt
that when landed proprietorship was
brought to an end most of the agitation
would be disposed Of The friars had
been driven from the land in many
cases. he said, and if they returned the
people would kill them. Appeals had
been made to the War Department to
collect the rents due but the Secretary
said this could not be done without the
use of troops
Mr.. Root said that no religious ques-
tion was involved. as it was simply a
condition that existed and was fully re-
cognized. The friars themselves were so
fully alive to th conditions that they
would doubtless be ready TO dispose of
the lands
