Moros of Mandana0 Pledge Peace
 and FrAemdshfp.
 MANILA, April 2p.-Major General Davis has returned here from the Joio archipelago. He did not see the sultan of Jolo, as the latter went to Singapore three days before General Davis ar rived.

 General Davis reports that nine tenths of the Lanao (Mindanao) Moros have accepted American sovereignty and pledged peace and friendship. Rep resentatives of forty towns north of the lake professed allegiance to the United States before Major Ballard.

Each team is allowed two City league players, but these players cannot be changed during the season. They can neither pitch nor catch. A player is allowed to play the first two games in the City league and if he doesn't make good the can return to the Greater Water bury league and will not be consid- cred City league player.

HADLEY ON CITIZENSHIP
He Says the Negro Was Given
 the Ballot Too Soon.

It Should Not Have Been Given With
 out Previous Preparation-The Same
 Thing Happened in Italy and in Rus
 sia.
 New Haven, April 22.-That the north was in error in giving the negro the ballot when it did was the opinion expressed by President Hadley of Yale in his lecture in the Dodge course on Citizenship" President Hadley said of the award of the ballot to the negro:
 Tt was not the fault of the negro, 1t was the fault of those who gave him the ballot without previous prepara- tion. The same thing was true in Italy before that, and ill Russia. The north did not recognize this at the close of the war. They had recognized the die tum that all men are born free and equal. When the north recognized the condition which prevailed in the south it acquiesced in the suppression of the negro vote. The fact that the negro vote was rsstricted showed that it was inevitable I shall not attempt to pre- dict the outcome, but one thing should be said: The error ot those who said thirty years ago that the negro could be given the ballot before he was pre- pared for 1t was no greater than that of those who to-day think that those rights can be withheld from him after he has developed and is ready for them"

The young men claim that they did not realize at the time that their action would be objectionable, and that they are not ill sympathy with the strike breakers, in fact. they have no use forathem. They didn't think that playing "a little game of ball for the sport of 1t would cause them so much trouble and would bring upon them so much abuse.

Humane Society Gets After an In human Man.
 St Louis, April 22.--The Humane so- ciety has taken two children, George and Florence Miggs, aged s and ' years, from the home of John Earl, i'll Washington avenue, and Earl is in jail charged with mistreating them. The boys back is lacerated to his hips, both eyes are blackened and four of his teeth are missing. The little girl is in even worse condition.

Four fresh scars are on her left leg, and there is n deep scalp wound in the top of her head. The Humane society charges that Earl inflicted these injuries as punishment because the children re- fused to perform acrobatic feats which he had endeavored to teach them. The wound on the little girls head was caused by her falling from a trapeze

 The senate this morning received the report of Attorney-G General King on the constitutionaIity of Governor Chamber lain's veto of the South Norwalk incor- poration resolution. He stated that in his opinion the governors veto was too late, that the term three days meant calendar days. He further made the statement that in his opinion the veto was illegal, but he said, that inas- much as an unbroken array of authori- ties agrees that precedent is stronger than law in such cases; if this state had proceeded during n long term of years on q wrong construction of the constitution that fact would prevail in 8 court, as against the legal construc- ton of the constitution.
 The senate not having any jurisdic- ton in the matter the report was mere ly received and tabled for printing.

WELL KNOWN FIRM SUED.
Owing to 8 Misunderstanding Over a
 Bill of Goods.

\ ] E
 Attorney Bronson representing the firm of Isadore Green and company of New York has entered suit against the firm of Miller 6 Peck for $35O Some time ago in the ordinary course of their business Miller &Peck bought a bill of goods from the plaintiff. who soon after assigned the claim to bank. A day or so after the bank had present ed the bill, a similar bill for the same goods was received from another party. It placed the local firm in quandary they did not know whom to pay. and while they were waiting for affairs to clear tip, the bank, it seems, gave their claim into the han5s of Attorney Bron- son for collection. Miller and Peck told MT Bronson they were ready and willing to pay. but they first desired to know who was the right party, for they had no inclination to pay the bill twice, as they probably would have to do if they paid MT Bronson's client MT Bronson said he didn't know anything about that; he was given the bill to collect and he would collect or sue, so Miller and Peck told him to sue and he sued. The papers in the matter were served yesterday

STRIKERS DAILY STATEMENT
Employees Not Taking Kindly
 to Local Strike Breakers.

Statement Says Men Are Still Out and
 None Will Be Found Returning Un-
 til the Strike is Settled -Organiza-
 tion of Women Offers Help to
 Financial Assistance Pour
 ing In.
 The strikers executive committee issued the following statement this af- ternoon:
 ."The strike is 1O2 days old to-day, and despite the stories that are being circulated to the effect that our ranks are weakening, and despite the efforts of the company to coax some Of our men to desert their cause, we are stil. lined up for action as strongly as we have been at any time since the strike began. It would save us much time spent in contradicting these stories if people would not go off half-cocked and circulate such tales without first having something authentic to talk about.
 From all accounts, the local men who have accepted offers from the company to become strike breakers are not being treated very courteous ly by the old strike breakers. One of the latter was speaking fo q member of our body a day or two ago and was informed that the old gang had no use for the Waterbury strike break CTS. "We are In it for what there's in it." he said, land as we are stran- gers. we don't care much about what people think of us for taking these DO sitions. We have no use, however, for Waterbury people who have the nerve to go to work like that in their own town. Our gang has told them their opinion of them several tlnlas and they are getting little assistance from us.' It would seem from this that some of the old strike breakers are possessed with some clements of manhood. and the statement herein that they are in it for what they gel is a fairly good excuse for their being here. Another strike. breaker told one of our men that in very short time most of the men now on the cars would be leaving. town for the city shore resorts, and as 1t was difficult to get trolleymen in the summer this was the reason the trolley company IS using strenuous efforts to obtain local help and break them in.
 We received this morning com munication notifying us of the forlna- ton of an organization composed wholly of women who have interested themselves in our cause The letter was brimful of eaCauragenlellt and volunteered the information tl.nt the i sorga1If ion would make itsclf known to lis ina substantial manner from time to time.

HOT LoWL CONTEST.
sophs and Freshies of the U. of P.
 Had Big Time.

Philadelphia, April 22.-In a fight, compared to which the average bread riot is child's play, the annual bowl contest between the sophomore and freshmen classes of the University of Pennsylvania has been waged in the old Franklin field, and the freshmen won. #E %4
 John Armstrong, sophomore, is badly injured, perhaps dying, in the university hospital. He had been lying under a struggling mass of students for ten minutes. Being unconscious, he was unable to protect himself from the heels of his friends and foes.
 A dozen or more students were serf- ously enough injured to be taken out of the fight, but Armstrong was the only man who had to go to the hos pital.
 Three thousand men, women and children looked on and cheered the combatants.
