THE SUMMONS 70 SILENCE.

We doubt the wisdom, at this stage
nf this carniaien Of furnishing Governor
Luke Wrights letter to the press. Mr..
Wright is governor Of our Philippine
possessions, having succeeded Judge
Taft in that position, and now we are
asked to consider letter sent by him
to the president, deploring the political
agitation Of the Filipino question and
showing that, coincidentally the natives
of the island are exhibiting hostility to
our regime OF beneflcenee and exalta-
ton AS we say, the wisdom of this
expedlent is not visible to the impartial
eye. Our good republican friends
would have been much better advised
had they ignored this particular utter
ance by Governor Luke Wright.
The thought that the letter in ques-
tion is only one of many will instantly
occur to every enlightened mind. The
obvious attempt to show that popular
unrest in the Philippines has been
prompted by democratic and anti-impe-
rialist discussion will inevitably fall
fiat Every well-informed citizen Of the
| United States knows that the islanders
are as resentful to-day as they were five
years ago, and that the publication Of
the Wright letter III question amounts
to nothing more than he liberation Of
one particular document from long Sc
ries of suppressed documents. 1t is q
very childish and transparent ruse,
quite unworthy the dignity of the adj
nintstration and not at all calculated
to make pleasant impression on en-
frightened men. Everybody knows that

BRIDAL cusToMs I'M JAPAN

Now that Japan is brought prorni-
nently before the public, the quaint Gus
toms practiced in that far away land
are of added interest. And the wedding
rules are, perhaps, the most iron-bound
of all the peculiar practices among peo-
pie of the Flowery Kingdom.
The average Japanese girl rarely
knows that her hand has even been
sought until all arrangements have
been made between her father and her
sutton. The latter. however, does not
manage this in person, but leaves all the
arrangements to some trusty emissary,
generally an intimate friend.
When the preliminaries have been
satisfactorily concluded the young eou-
pie are introduced to each other in the
most formal manner and exchange
gifts either of money or clothes, as a
rule. There is no engagement ring, but,
strange to say, it is easier to get di-
vorce after marriage than 1t is to break
the betrothal. After the Introduction
the contracting parties are considered
bound to marry.
In one particular only does the. Japa-
nese resemble the western bridal cere-
mony. This is, too, a small matter.
The Japanese bride, like her western
sister, wears a veil; but there IS }abso-
lutely no religious ceremony and no le-
gal oaths are administered. But the
young people sit in the Japanese fash
ion upon the cushions on the floor, sep
arated by the father Of the bridegroom
and the friend who has carried on the
negotiations. In front of them stands a
little table with symbolic palm branch
laid on it--New York Evening Tele-

with the anti-imperialist agitation in
the campaign than it has to do with the
discovery of radiun or the theory Of
I tittlebats. 1t dates back to our occupa-
tion of Luzon and it depends not in the
least upon any encouragement from
doctrines and polemics in this country.
The Filipinos hate us thousand times
more savagely than they ever did their
Spanish tyrants-just as the Cubans do
to-day, and everybody knows it.
The Post has not protested against
our occupation of the Philippines. 1t
recognizes an accomplished fact and
would gladly make the best Of it. But
we do not ina gine-and have never pre-
tended to imagine-that the arrange
ment has been successfully or wisely
conducted. Almost every important
army officer who has served in the is
lands feels that the civil establishment,
involving the subsection of he army, IS
blunder and failure. Every intelli-
gent and disinterested looker-on has ex-
pressed similar opinion. It is too late
to say that II patrioic ciizens were to
stop talking over here he Filipinos
would become reconciled at once. We
know better and these fairy tales inn
press us only with impatience and con-
tempt. The situation in the Philippines
Is not a whit more ugly han 1t has been.
The simple truth is that it is case Of
logical evolution. Washington Post.

set. Instead Of their being any truth
in the story Of the engagement Of the
distinguished Congressman and Miss
Roosevelt, the real facts are that he
only recently passed the Rubicon by
proposing, and, while he was not
drowned and washed away, he was
thrown overheard.
Miss Roosevelt refused him.
He is all right in Washington and
Manchester, and, in fact, in st. Louis,
at the Fair, he made himself most use
full after appearing there unexpectedly
during her memorable visit, but as a.
life partner, to have a say as to her
goings and comings that was different.
The recent rlnor Of the engagement
did not surprise many people. It has
been a matter Of gossip for many
months. His attentions TO Miss Roose-
welt have been conspicuous ever since
they met about two years ago. His
presence at every function in which
she is a guest is a foregone conclusion.
His dignified wooing has been pur-
sued through all kinds Of discourage
ment from the object Of his attractions
and from her friends, and 1t Is known
that she really prefers another. and
that a foreigner. Nevertheless. his at
tentions were usually accepted, and she
has kept him on the ragged edge OF un-
certainty as to where he is at" until
he made bold during her fall visit on
the north shore, where his mother has
a cottage, and asked her to confine her.

Miss Roosevelt has led the young
members Of official society through
two gay seasons and come out singu-
larly free from engagement gossip.

Committee on Railroads and Bridges
and Committee from Chamber Of
Commerce to Confer With Him About
the Cut.
The committee on railroads and
bridges Of the board OF aldermen and
q committee from the chamber Of COM
merce held a conference in city hall
last evening. The meeting was in ex-
ecutive session and lasted about two
hours. After the meeting Chairman
Ricketts, stated that the entire time
had been spent by those present in dis
cussing the Encouragement of the cut,
which the railroad company wishes to
make. He said that the only vote pass
ed was to the effect that President Mel

invited to meet with this same COM
mittee in the near future, and talk the
matter over with them. The commit

A NOTABLE SOCIAL EVENT BIZ
O. U. a. III.

Held in West Haven Town Han Last
Evening-A Varied Programme In
Guiding Mock Harriage-The order
to Plant Tree ON New Haven Old
Green.
1t was an exceptionally splendid pro-
gramme that was rendered last even
ing at the entertainment given under
the joint auspices of the Order of IN
tied American Mechanics and Daugh-
ters Of Liberty in the auditorium Of the
West Haven Town hall. The arrange
ment Of the programme was entirely in
the cnotrol of the Daughters Of Liberty
and they set a standard which it will
take considerable effort to surpass.
The hall was crowded by an appre-
eiative audience Of nearly a thousand
people. Announcement was made dur
ing the course of the entertainment
that no encores would be responded to
owing to the length Of the programme,
but in spite Of this the hearty and con-
tinued applause was so great that re-
sponses had to be given.
The selections rendered by the CEN
tury Mandolin and Glee club were of a
very high order. The club closed its
number with Meet Me in St. Louis"
on the mandolins and the chorus was
sung by the club.
Miss Helen Gesler's coon song was a
really fine piece of work. There was
nothing of the low class variety type to
her singing. Her renditions were ex-
cellent and her expression was good.
Great applause greeted her first piece
and she was compelled to respond to
! two encores.
The selections rendered by the Forest
Dale quartette Of young men in cos
tune were also very good and they were
heartily applauded. The recitation CIV
en- by Miss Helena Dickens was also
well received. The growing feature Of
the programme was the mock marriage,
The wedding party, all in fantastic cos
tunes, paraded through the hall and
created great amusement. They pro-
eeeded to the platform where the mock
ceremony was performed. The SER
vice was very funny and kept the au-
dierce in roars of laughter
Following the entertainment pro-
gramme of fourteen dances, including
both round and square, was much en-
ljoyed. Professor Nichols orchestra fur

ROCK ISLAND Road.
B. F. winehen the New President Of
the Roek Island railway Co. =

y. +. W7ncheu the New FTlsiaenI OF
the Rock Island Railway Co. +.
Reports from Chicago referring to the
resignation Of L. F. Loree as president
of the Rock Island railway system,
states that Mr.. Loree's resignation came
after series of conferences lasting
more than a week between Mr.. Loree
and the principal owners Of the road.
At these conferences were William H.
and James H. Moore, D. c. Reid, chair
man of the Rock Island board; Robert
Mather, vice president and general
counsel Of the road, and B. F. Winchell
president of the Rock Island Railway
company. 1t is said there developed
differences of opinion as to the meth
DDS of management which were diamet-
really opposed, and the outcome was
the resignation of Mr.. Loree.
1t was further said that the differ
enees Of opinion that led to the con-
troversey was, for the most part, be-
tween Mr.. Loree, who was the head Of
the Rock Island system, and Mr.. VIM
eheII, president of the Rock Island
Railway company. The result was that
Mr.. Winehell won the day, and he win
now be the sole executive head of the
Rock Island system. with power subor-
dinate only to the owners. 1t was also
reported that Mr.. Loree,. in rendering
his resignation, gave up a salary of ST5,-
900 annually, guaranteed for a period of
five years. 1t was nine months ago
that Mr.. Loree resigned the presidency
Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to
take up the management Of the Rock
Island system. 1t is reported that a
cash bonus of $4,000 was one of the
considerations which induced him to
make the change.
B. F. Winchell, the new president OF
the Rock Island, was assistant passen-
ger and ticket agent Of the Kansas City
Fort Scott and Memphis before that
line was acquired by the Frisco. When
the Frisco was purchased by the Rock
Island. B. F. Winchell was rapidly ad-
yanced. New Haven has a special in
terest in Mr.. Winchell, as he is son OF
collector of Customs J. Rice Winchell sof
this city.

JAPANESE LIKE WRESTLING.
It Is One of the Most Popular Sports
Among the Mikado's
Subjects.

The one sport that has found
favor from almost time immemo-
rial in Japan is wrestling, and this
NAV be said to be the national
sport of the present opponents Of
the ear, says the Washington
Times.
Formerly it was essential to the
education Of gentleman, particu-
larry if he were a soldier, and even
now it is practiced and taught to
a very wide extent among the bet
ter classes.
Yet it is the professional side Of
wrestling, as it is of boxing in this
country, that has given the sport
its reputation as the sport of the
people.
Formerly the nobility patron.
lied wrestling and wrestlers as the
aristocracy did prize fighting in
England. The best known con
testants enjoyed immunity from
ferry fares, tolls on bridges, high
ways, etc.
Now the wrestlers are depend
ent wholly upon public favor,
which they enjoy to marked de
gree.
There are 40 recognized profess
sional followers of the game at
present, divided into three classes.
Great semi-annual matches are
held in January and June at Toxic,
under the auspices of a guild of
retired wrestlers.
Very great Importance is at
tached to these affairs, and they
assume the character of national
fetes. A match is won by the man
receiving two out of three falls.
