Speaking OF the relations of the Filipinos and
Spanish friars, Mr.. Dean says that the former
were not admitted to the full priesthood or
allowed to Re celebrants at mass before the
American occupation, but were but secondary
clergy. The native antagonsm to the friars
drove the latter, with few exceptions to Ma
nila for refuge. The people like the native
clergy, who now administering the par
ishes instead Of the friars,. and are exercising
the full functions Of the priesthood. Mr..
Dean says that the dislike of the natives for

there were two outside at small garrisons,

Villas MAKES SPEECH.
Old Democratic War Horse Talks to
People of wisconsin.

Milwaukee, Oct. 30.-Ex- United
States Senator William f. Villas made
his first speech in the present cam
paign at the Pabst Theater in this
city tonight under the auspices of the
Democratic State Central Committee.
Referring to the United States Steel
Corporation Mr. Villas said:
This corporation is the practical
dictator of the price which Americans
must pay for everything they buy
within it's line of manufacture. This
is a monstrous giant of evil to stand
towering under American industrial
skies. Yet, it is probably no greater
in proportion than others in
other lines. OF course, the
iron trade is an enormous one,
and a combination to control it must
necessarily be gigantic. The Standard
Oil Company is possibly as great so
far as profits are concerned, at least,
as the steel corporation. Another i'll
lustration might well be found in the
glass trust. 1t has become perhaps
even more complete in control of the
glass manufacturers than the steel
corporation in the control of steel, and
it has been demonstrated that it has
more than doubled prices since the
combination was formed. This indi-

THE MOLINEUX TRIAL.
Ex-GOv. Black Moves AcquittaI on
Insufficient Evidence.

New York, Oct. 30.-Counsel for the
defense in the Molineux trial to-day
moved that the court direct the jury to
acquit. the defendant on the ground
that the evidence was insufficient. JUS
tice Lambert denied the motion.
Ex-Gov. Black, in moving MolineuX's
acquittal said the evidence given was
not sufficient to warrant a conviction;
that there was no evidence that the
defendant had ever had in his possess
sion cyanide of mercury, or the bot
tleholder in which the poison was sent;
that he did not mail the poison pack
age. and that there was no proof what
ever connecting the defendant with the
crime charged.
At the close of Mr.. Blacks argu-
ment Justice Lambert said:
81 will deny the motion for the pres
ent and will hear all the evidence"
Mr.. Black then asked the court to
permit him to make his opening adj
dress to the jury tomorrow and JUS
tice Lambert acquiesced, declaring
court adjourned until tomorrow.
Mr.. Black said his opening address
would be very short.
After the adjournment Mr.. Black was
asked if Molineux will take the stand
in his own behalf.
There is a strong likelihood that We
shall call Mr.. Moineux," he said, but
nothing has been decided"
