He said that labor unions have been
largely instrumental In securing reason

of wages and in protecting women and
children from industrial oppression,
struggle of working men TO attain these
ends has been attended at times by acts
Of intolerable violence The growth and
success of labor unions. he argued, a

measures which tend to make them more
deliberate. less arbitrary and more pa
tient with the trammeIs of a civilized
community.
President Elliott summarized the ques-
tiOo Of the incornoraffou of the trades
unions in the statement that if they
wanted it there seemed TO be 10 objection

objection. There was, however, an OBJ

of Advice Given Him ON
Islands.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.--Major General Elwell
s. Otis, in a lecture before the students
OF the College Of Commerce and Admins
tration at the University of Chicago to-
night, declared that prominent Filipinos
urged him to put down the rebellion by de-
vastation and murder.
1.-The advice given me was that civilized
warfare would not terminate the rebellion" p"
he said. 1T was urged that the insur-
gents would attribute humane treatment TO
cowardice and would be encouraged. De-
vastation and murder were advocated"
Instances where Filipinos were buried
alive, beheaded and murdered by amigos
who did not countenance the rebellion were
cited.
What the islands need" continued Gen.
eral Otis, 'is a reformed currency, prac-
tical land laws, limited government con-
cessions for the upbuilding OF natural in
dustries and sufficient capital for the de-
velopment of the resources.
THE desire of the majority of the in
habitants OF the islands is for peace and
protection which will enable them to enjoy
the fruits of their labor"

STRICKEN AT THE PALACE
italian Minister Has Attack of
Paralysis while BeinE Re-
ceived by the King.

ROME, Jan. 9s.-Foreign Minister Pr
netti had an attack Of paralysis Of the
right side while being received in audi
ence by King Victor EmanUal today. He
was removed to his home in a serious con-
ditlon.
The ministers were holding their usual
semi-w weekly conference with the king at
the quirinal when Signor Prinetti who
was addressing his majesty, suddenly threw
up his arms, staggered and would have
fallen but for the fact that he was caught
by his colleagues.
The incident caused great excitement,
the king running for assistance and Min
lister of Commerce Baccelli. who is a ply
sician, doing what was Immediately neces-
sary.
The king, who is especially attached TO
signor Prinetti. was much affected. His
majesty desired that the minister be put
TO bed in the quirinal, but Dr. Baccelli In
sisted that 1t would be better TO convey
him to his own home, which was done
One of the ministers went ahead to break
the news to Signora Prinetti
Dr. Marzoni is attending Signor Prinetti
who, although unable to speak, retains tull
consciousness.
The minister's wife, who was fox hunting
when she heard OF his illness, galloped
home at breakneck speed.

hopeful that he will soon recover. A

FAITH CURES ARE SECUTED
German Doctors Say HypnOtism f.
Almost worthless to
Medicine.

BERLIN, Jan. 2s.-The commission Of
experts in mental diseases appointed by
the ministry of education to investigate
the healing value of hypnotism reports
that II is almost worthless.
The commission, composed Of Prof. Men
del and Drs. Cock, Munter and Aschen-
born. was appointed during the faith-heal-
ing excitement here a year ago. The report
declares hypnotism cannot produce organic
changes nor cure epilepsy nor hys-
terra. but can be used helpfully in some
instances by removing symptoms through
suggestion. No good physician would leave
out Of account the influence Of suggestion
on patients, but hypnotic suggestion may
intensity disease when laymen apply it
who DO not know when to use it and
when not to do so.
The influence of hypnotic suggestion
diminishes in proportion to popular Inowl-
edge Of 1t. 1t is most powerful when re-
garded by a subject as marvellous and
supernatural.

ON PHASES OF LIFE IN CUBA
Major John u. Lynch Lectures Under
Auspices Of BishOp WOrthing-
ton Lyceum.

Major John r. Lynch, paymaster, U. S.
A., last night spoke at Young Mems Chris
tian association han on the subject,
Cuba and the Cubans." under the auspices
OF the Bishop Worthington lyccum, lit
erary organization of members OF the
Church OF st. Philip the Deacon. Major
Lynch was three years In Cuba, from May,
1899 to May. 1902 when ne came to head
quarters OF the Department OF the Mis-
souri, here. During that period he visited
every province in the island and every i'm
portant city and town. He treated Of the
religion. the manners and customs, the
race question the labor question and the
advisabillty and possibility of anneNltion
OF Cuba and Cuhans. He said in part:
Ninety per cent Of the CLbans are Ro-
man Catholics. and since being among them
have more respect for that religion than
ever before. The Cubans practice what
they preach and preach what they prac-
tice Yet their religion does not interfere
in any way with their pleasures. Sunday
is their big day for merrymaking Then
are their games, their races, their balls
and their theaters among both high and
low. Their holidays are largely religious
such as Holy Week, Good Friday and Eas
ter Sunday. On these occasions their
feasts and assemblies are grand spectacles.
mo race problem exists there. Sixty
| per cent OF the Cubans are black, but you
| cannot classify them by race. There is
| far more mixture of the whites and blacks
| there than here, yet less external evidence
| OF it. l argue that there is no real race
| antpathy in this country, else laws would
/ not be necessary to keep the races apart.
/ In fact, there is such an absence Of such
| antipathy that all the laws do not avail to
! keep them apart. In Cuba there is great
unity between the whites and blacks. They
| are always standing together and for each
/ other. white Cuban is for a black Cuban
! in preference to a white American.
/ Neither is there labor problem there.
| This great question has not yet disturbed
the industrial harmony there to any ex-
7 tent. But the people are acquiring Amer
canisms, and that feature will be among
them. The coloTed man in Cuba is not used
by either side, either labor or capital, to
the detrment of the other. The sane con-
ditions should obtain in this country.
| Assimilation should be industrial as well
as political. In Cuba the whites aDd blacks
| work side by side in peace and earn the
same money
81 believe that Cuba will become a part
OF these Omitted States. Just now great
majority Of the Cubans are opposed to this
| They want nothing but Cuba and Cubans
But this sentiment is based largely on an
erroneous impression. They think the
| United States would be merely another
Spain, adopting the same attitude. They
think they would be again held as con-
quered, and would be a mere province
Show them that annexation will lead tC
their admission as a sovereign state later
and they will consent"

PANAMA PEOPLE SATISFIED
Glad Canal IL TO he Built by United
States without Help from
Europe.

PANAMA. Jan. 2s.-No comments on the
signing of the canal treaty are made by
local newspapers, but the people here are
generally satisfied.
They are enthusiastic over the prospect
that the canal will finally be built by the
United States. in which country the people
have confidence, without the Intervention
of European powers, which are now looked
upon with disfavor.
The treaty is considered fair and mu-
tually advantageous, although some Colom-
bians think the annual rental might have
been put at a more equivalent rate, consid-
ering the loss Of isthmian rents and the
future practical benefits obtained by the
United States.
