TAFT REPLIES To GUIDI
SAYS HE HOPES FOR ADJUSTMENT
OF THE CHURCH QUESTION.
General Miles Replies 10 q Filipino
by Saying He Hopes They Will
BE Given Autonomy.

MANILA, Nov. Ex-Governor Taft and
Mgr. Guidi exchanged formal visits to-day
and discussed in a general way the pros
pective negotiations. The date on which
the negotiations will be begun and the
method of work are still undetermined.
Mgr. Guidi visited Governor Taft at Mala-
canaan Palace and made formal address
to him. Governor Taft. in responding. well
coined the apostolic delegate and thanked
him for his kindly expressions. The Gov
ernor continued: THE property and rights
of the church must be observed and pro-
tected by the government. What those
rights are, when in dispute, unless they are
settled by an agreement. must be deter
mined by the courts of justice. The pres
ervation of those rights is the duty of the
government of these islands, not only by
virtue Of the treaty of Paris. but BY virtue
of the Constitution of the United States
and of the principles of American juris-
prudence, which are so deeply seated in
the political creed of every American that
they cannot be departed from.
IF we can adjust the mutual rights and
obligations OF the government of these
islands with the Roman Catholic Church
by a compromise and an agreement. with
out having resort TO the courts, this is an
end devoutly to be wished, and an end
which 1 am sure we both cordially and
sincerely seek. know that we both de-
sire the settlement and the uplifting OF
the Filipino people and that, while il is
natural that there should be differences
of opinion as TO the method OF bringing
about such great result. this common de-
sire on the part of the two negotiators
gives great hope that a conclusion may
be reached by them, satisfactory TO both
and achieving a common purpose"
AT a public reception 10 General Miles
in the island of Cebu, a Filipino speaker
urged a more expeditions fulfillment of the
promises made by the Americans. includ-
ing autonomy. In reply. General Miles adj
vised the people to be peaceful and pa
tient and to trust the Americans to salts
factorily settle all the questions now pend
ing He said he hoped TO see the ambi-
ton of the inhabitants for autonomy finally
fulfilled.

allegiance. but he subsequently fed and

HARRINGTON TALKS.
Summing-Up of an Article on Western
Society.

December Harper.
1t is a society almost wholly without
snobbishness. Now and then there becomes
apparent a struggle TO enter 1t on the part
of some one outside of it; but, because ac-
cess Is so simple, the fact that a struggle
is necessary nearly always creates in itself
perpetual disqualification. 1t is society
exceedingly friendly to the newcomer; very
ready to receive him his own merits; il
has no feeling of its own insecurity to make
Ii snub him because it does not know who
he was before he came And while the WIS.,

his acquaintances i'm other cities, he will not
be asked if he has met 1.-The Rockmores of

knows the right people" The questions
are put in a hopeful way, with the hos
pitable wish to find mutual friends of whom
to talk, and to bring the visitor and native
into closer touch.
There is a natural drawing together and
interdependence, of course, among the peo-
pie who form the nucleus of this society.
whose fathers and grandfathers have been
friends, watching the town grow from
village in the forties to a city of impor-
tance in the twentieth century: and al

10 himself some credit that his family have

spectability through several generations:

OSBORNE HOUSE ESTATE.


LONDON, Nov. 2l.-The Osborne estate
bill. providing for the transfer to the ma
ton of the Osborne House estate. Isle OF
Wight from King Edward. whose property
il became under the will of the late Queen
Victoria, passed its second reading in the
House of Commons this afternoon, after
some criticism rejecting the feeling on the
subject in royal circles, I'm which there has
been much agitation ever since the King
first proposed to present Osborne House es-
tate TO the nation.
Queen Victoria's will has never been pub
lished. but there is very high authority for
saying that the bequest was not her idea.
AS matter of fact she left the property
TO the King for life, with the reversion to
the Prince of Wales. Failing the latter.
the property was to go TO her daughters or
to the Prince OF Wales's heirs The King.
however. insisted on giving 1t to the nation
al a memorial.
During the course of the discussion In
Parliament to-day Mr.. Ritchie. the chan.
cellor of the exchequer. admitted that the
bill was at variation with the VIII ana
wishes Of the late Queen. and said that Dur
for that the will would not have been nee
essary. All the tewelry and articles OF val
ue and of historical interest have been re-
moved to Windsor Castle. This includes the
contents OF the Prince Consorts room.
which Queen Victoria left untouched as IL
existed during his life.
In announcing the gift of Osborne House
estate TO the nation at the time or MS coro-
nation King Edward expressed the nope
that il would be devoted TO national pur-
poses and be converted into a convalescent

THE CONFERENCE OF SENATORS.

The conference of Republican senators
in the next Legislature TO consider the
more important matters that will come be-
fore that body is TO be commended. In
session of but sixty days there is not suffi-
cient time to debate the merits of all the
important matters that will be pressed
upon the attention Of the Legislature. Con-
sequently, any investigation which men,
bers can set in motion before the Legis-
lature meets will prove useful to the State.
So far has been ascertained by per-
sonal opinions. the Republican senators
fully appreciate the situation. They fol-
low four Republican legislatures which
have done the State excellent service. They
seem to realize that Republican preponder-
ance in Indiana is due largely to the ex-
cellent record the party has made since 1t
came into control of its affairs. They seem
to be animated by purpose TO continue
the policy OF their predecessors. The Re-
publican majority in the Legislature is so
large that the responsibility for legislation
is with tia fact which the Republican
senators seem to appreciate. The spirit
which pervaded the conference was excel
lent. To do the best for the people of In
diana was the prevailing sentiment. The
senators realized the demands upon the
Legislature for appropriations for new in
situations and the extension of those now
existing. and are disposed to consider them
solely In the interest of the State. 1t falls
to the Legislature to decide how far these
demands can be met. realizing that there
is a parsimony which is not economy and
liberality which can be inimical to the
best interests of the State.
Such conferences indicate growing con-
viction in the minds of the men who are
called to legislate for the State that it is a
responsible duty and high honor-that the
highest service a citizen can render the
State is to serve 1t in public position in a
manner that will meet the appreciation of
Intelligent people.

in future years be able 10 furnish vast

The defeat of socialism In the convention
of the Federation of Labor by the vote of
4.7i4 to 4.344 shows that the margin in IA
vor of industrial unionism is very narrow,
and when compared with previous votes
the result shows that socialism has made
great gains during the past few years. If
the socialistic element shall continue to
grow next year as 1t has the past three
or four years IT will control the next con-
vention. When that comes to pass union

The increase of the Socialist vote from
$1,000 in 1900 to about $4,000 in the late cleo
ton appears to alarm some people Why
should it? If the party should cast twice
or three times that number of votes il
could do no harm. The Prohibitionists
have been doing 1T for years. but they
have not harmed either of the two con-
trolling parties, and never will. The So
cialists have been voting all these years,
and there is reason to believe they have
voted the most Objectionable tickets offered,
thus helping the most Objectionable of the
two leading parties to win an occasional
victory. When they vote for ticket of
their own they naturally weaken the most
Objectionable party and do not have votes
enough alone to elect anybody.
