WELL GOVERNED MANILA.

Gaaew - Walk Streets There at Mtds
night than in Chicago.
Judge James Ross Of the Court OF
First Instance of the Philippines Is at
the Raleigh in Washington. He went
10 the islands in 1890 from Tacoma
Wash, where he had been an attor-
ney, as captain Of volunteers. From
that position to governor OF the prov
ince Of Ambos Camorianes in southern
LuHoa and assistant attorney-gene
and tudge-at-large were the successive
steps won by his efficiency. He has
his headquarters at Manila.
1.-The Judicial system Of the Philip
pine islands," said Judge Ross to the
Washington Post, "is working out sue
eessfslly, with nine natives and fifteen
Americans on the Court OF First In
stance and three natives and four
AmeAcans on the Supreme Court
The frst series Of courts is about the
same as the State Superior or District
Courts In the United States. During

at midnight in the streets OF Manila
than In the streets Of Chicago, There
was a time when there were many
marauding bands, but they have been
unprecedented, except possibly in certain
districts in Samar, and the people have
settled down to abide by the laws OF
the new regime. Ordinarily they are
quiet and passive In disposition.
| 1.-The greater part Of the business of
the courts at the present time concerns
LAND cases. Under the old Spanish sys-
TEN for centuries an intricate system
of Land registration was in vogue and
therefore there is now much litigation
! over the settlement Of titles. This Is
being adjusted also through the court
of land registration and the Torrens
Isystem. Each title is properly regis,
tered and simplicity prevails. Though
conditions are settled, the administra
tive and judicial officers of the gov
eminent find plenty to do. The gov
. ernors are mostly natives now"

champions of the cue. At recent as
sembling one Of the party expatiated
emphattcally concerning the torrid

"Oh, let up on the weather." petu-
lantly said another Of the party. 'It
only makes one hotter to be con-

the next night, and If any man In the
party mentioned the weather he was to
be fined 30 cents, the sum total to be
expended for refreshments some time
when the temperature had lowered.
The genial proprietor of the billiard
parlor was to record and collect the
fines.
