ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

Jane Kennard as Cigarette, in Under Two Flags at the Jefferson last night did some very effective work, and from beginning to end she held the attention of the audience.
 The version seen last night differs from those which have been here before, and it gives Miss Kennard a much harder part. She has to go from the light hearted daughter of the regiment to the saddest of scenes in a second. She is specially good in the last act when she is killed in attempting to save the life of her lover Her last moments require a piece of great acting and she rises to the occasion.
 Some of the other members of the com pany are very good. Bert Lytell, as Hon. Bertie Cecil. the English noble serv- ing as a corporal in the French army, shows ability, and H. Guy Woodward, well known in Birmingham as having once headed the Woodward-W Warren stock company and some time leading man In some excellent stock companies, puts ex- actly enough acting into the part of an Englishman to make it good. He does not at any time overdo it.
 The play will be produced at matinee this afternoon and again tonight.

CONDITIONS BAD
 IN THE JOLO GROUP
Governor Scott writes OeScrip-
 ton of Many Abuses
CHIEFS ARE ALL POWERFUL
Maintain Peace So Long as They Are Allowed to Rob, Steal and Enslave Unreservedly-The Sultan
 Is Helpless.

Washington, November 25-A strong picture of conditions in the Jole group of the Philippine archipelago is contained in letter from Col H. L. Scott. the gov ernor of that group to Col Clarence Ed wards, chief of the insular bureau of the war department. The letter, which is dat cd September 23, is made public as an ex- plantation of the campaign now being waged in the Jole group. In 1t the writer says;
 'I find that the condition is one of peace so long as the big Moro chiefs are allowed to have their own way unreservedly; to rob, steal and enslave. The sultan is a man of no power of his own, and must depend on the chiefs, who may or may not do what he wishes. They are all sur- rounded by gangs of rufhans who do no useful work, but who live through rob- bery and by fining both aides in a case, irrespective of who may be guilty, the full amount of the ability on the part of the victim to pay. If he refuses to pay, he is ensaved. No peace and order can be maintained in these islands so long as these conditions exist. Movable prop efly IS dlWdyS OH lne lHONe, WlihouI thS desire of the owner. Men say they will not work and accumulate property which they will not be permitted to enjoy, and there are constant turmoils, murders and achievements going on.
 No one is allowed to go beyond the outposts here without an armed guard, and 1t is inadvisable to go about the streets unarmed, on account of the thugs who get through the gates, no matter how diligent the sentries are in prosecuting their duty. These men are daily in con- hict with our soldiers.
 You will see by this that the peace was kept at great sacrifice. The Moro pro- vince contemplates changes, among others the abolishment of slavery, a very sore point with them It contemplates trials of offenders by district courts and these things will surely bring on conflicts"

ATTITUDE OF THE SENATE
 SLAP AT THE PRESIDENT

that he could have done just as well without an extra session.
 The refusal of the house to enter into the spirit of the turn down and adjourn over until the regular session does not indicate any particular, love for the Pres ident but is merely the effort of Cam non and. the house leaders to make the senate believe that the house is a factor in legislation. Cannon has always ''had it in' for the senate and while he is speaker there will be many battle be- tween the two branches of congress In the meantime nearly three-fourths of the members of the senate and house will eat Thanksgiving dinner in their own homes tomorrow.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-11-26

KY ASHINGTON, November D.
 w There is no longer any doubt
 here that the attitude of the senate on the question of adjournment is a slap at the President. Before the extra session was called the President asked the republican leaders of the senate what they thought of an extra session and all most without exception they advised against it. The President concluded to call an extra session any way and the re- publiGan leaders have simply made an agreement to vote on Cuban reciprocity next month, thus showing the President
