Report of Secretary Root.

The annual report OF Secretary
Root shows that there has been n
great deal of military activity in the
Philippines during the last year.
though none OF the engagements has
been on a large scale. More than l..
coo contacts occurred between our
troops and the insurgents from May.
1901, to June so. 1901, and there have
been many similar encounters since
the last date.
Up to June 3Oth the insurgent losses
were: Killed. 1854; wounded. 1913;
captured. 6.572; surrendered. 23,O9G.
For the Americans the figures are:
Killed. 245; wounded. 49O; captured,
49, missing. 20. It will be observed
that fifteen Filipinos have been killed
for every American. and this fact
gives a vivid idea of the Inequality
OF the contest.

A Curious Trap.

A curious labyrinth in which ele-
plants are captured alive is to be seen
near Ayuthia. formerly the capital Of
Siam. The labyrinth Is formed OF a
double row of immense tree trunks set
firmly In the ground, the space between
them gradually narrowing.
Where 1t begins, at the edge OF the
forest. the opening Of the labyrinth Is
more than n mile wide. but as It ap-
proaches Ayutbia It becomes so mar
row that the elephants cannot turn
around.
Suspectlng no danger the Wild ele-
phant enters the broad opening at the
forest end. lured on by a tame elephant.
The gradual narrowing OF the bound
aries Is not observed until the cle-
phant finds himself in close quarters.
Having reached the end Of the laby'
rlnth. the tame elephant is allowed to
pass through gate. while men lying
in wait slip shackles over the feet OF
the captlves. The sport is dangerous
one, for the enraged elephants some
times crush the hunters under their
feet

IN THE HOUSE.
Philippine Debate Opened--Cooper
Supports Administration.

Washington, June 19.-The opening
day Of the weeks debate on the Phil
ippine government bill in the House
was signalized by a remarkably strong
and exhaustive speech by Cooper, Wis,
chairman of the committee on insular
affairs. He spoke for almost three
hours and was given close attention
by both sides Of the House.
Much of the speech was a general
defence of the policy pursued by the
administration and drew repeated APP
plause from his side of the House. He
contcndcd that the problem of the
Philippines should not be party
question, that both political parties
brought on the war with Spain and
the votes of the members of both par
ties ratified the treaty which made the
islands American territory.
The most telling portion Of his
speech was the parallel he drew be-
tween the present attitude of the OPP
position during and Immediately sue
ceeding the Vivil war.
Jones, Va, the ranking member OF
the minority Of the committee, made
an able presentation Of the Democratic
position, but he yielded the floor after
speaking about an hour, and will re-
sumo. tomorrow morning. These were
the only speeches made, today. The
order under which the House is operat-
| ing provides for night sessions until
Wednesday for debate only, but as no
one was prepared to speak, tonight
the order for the session this evening
was vacated.
