Inmates Of the population, but said
there are probably six million Fill.
pinos and Christians anu one and a
half or two millions of non-Christians
and probably a million of Moros, how
ever, a ceusus was badly needed.
The members of the committee
smiled when Governor Taft said that
the Christians had made all the trou-
bic.
In reply to questions from Mr.. Du-
bois. Governor Taft said that the Fill
pinos have a greater attachment for
their country than. for instance, the
Chinese have for theirs.

his province, and he is, | think, now
forming an attachment for the name Of

In reply to other questions Gov
ernor Taft said that he estimated that
from five to seven per cent of the peo-
PIE could read and write the Spanish
language, but that he could not say
what proportion of the people could
write their own language.
Senator Patterson asked Governor
Taft whether the Filipion of average
intelligence is capable Of distinguish

such as the United States would give.
Replying Governor Taft said that
a Filipino of such intelligence was
capable of making such a distinction
but he emphasized the necessity of
making sure that the Filipino who
must pass upon this problem is a man
Of such intelligence.
Replying to questions by Senator
Rawlins, Governor Taft said that
three forms of the federal party were
associated in the government Of the
islands, but Notwithstanding this fact
the government was in no way re-
sponsible for the promises of state
hood made by that party in it's plat
form.

NEW LIGHT ON ABDUCTION.
Miss Stone a Matter of Secondary
Consideration.

g." SStiSlQCt dttOIs . -
Boston, Feb. According to let
tiers received by several young BLl.
garians studying at Harvard %univers-
ity, the case Of Miss Stone, The cap
tive missionary, interests the people
of Bulgaria but very little. The let
tiers come from Kortcha, Albania, and
they state that the abduction pio+
was not fostered with a view of spirit
ing away the American woman for
ransom, but to get possession of Nine.
Katherine Tsilka, her companion.
1t is stated that the cause of all of
Miss Stones hardships is the tickle
ness of Gliglor Tsilka, a student at
the Union Theological Seminary in
New York three years ago. Previous
to his departure from Albania, Tsilka
is said to have fallen in love with a
young Arnaut girl to whom he be-
came engaged Upon his representa-
ton after reaching America the girl
was allowed by her parents to come
to New York, but before she arrived
there the theological Students ardor
had cooled through a meeting he had
with another Albanian woman the
present Nine. Tsilka.
When the young woman reached
New York all Tsilka would do was to
get her employment and she finally
went to Providence. Then Tsilka
married his present wife and upon re-
turning to Kortcha with his bride he
found a feud raging between the sew.
eral families. Relatives of the Tilted
girl sought revenge upon Tsilka's fam,
lily in several ways and he was lock-
eu up for a time upon a charge of
breach of promise.
Then anne the capture of Nine.
Tsilka and Miss Stone, and the letters
state that the seizure of the latter
was not thought of until the plot was
arranged. The advices say that the
was conceived by the father
of the Tilted girl in Kortcha and that
Arnauts are the captors. Tsilka has
not had the courage to return to his
home since the capture and the Tilted
girls relatives are reported to be
boasting openly of their success 1t
is stated that the Turkish government
does not dare investigate the act Of
the Arnauts.
