The United Daug hter's Of the
Confcderaey.

The Oxford Chapter of the u.
d. C.'s met with Mrs. w. D. Por.
ter Friday, a meeting postponed
from Friday, February 9th. 1t
was an important date, the begin
ming OF a new years work, pay
ment of dues, the election of Of
ficers and the settlement Of old
chapter obligations. We are very
sorry to say that only 10 of the
80 enrolled members were pre-
sent. Why this lack of interest
in an organization Oh such vita.
import to our people, especially
to our children. The crganiza-
ton is social, literary, historical
and benevolent ;surely our South.
ern women, we should say OK
ford women, (for the women in
other places are very much inter-
ested) are interested in some one
if not all of these motives, and
are willing t. lend an hour or two
once a month to the promotion of
causes of such inestimable bene-
fit to the town and society.
Again, the work cannot be car.
aied on without means; and the
small amount asked as dues
ought to be paid promptly, this
will prevent in a great measure
asking for special contributions,
as is now necessary.
The reports of the various Of
6cers we're full and satisfactory,
most especially the treasurer's
report.
The election of officers resuItsd
a. follows: Mrs. Price Yves un-
animously elected president. She
thanked the Chapter very cordi-
ally for its loyalty, but said il
would be impossible for her 10
assume the duties OF the Office
just now. Mrs. Jones, who has
served for more than two years,
and has to her credit, good work
well done, declined to bear the
burden longer; therefore a SUBJ
stitute was appointed until such
q time as Mrs. Price can come
into her own again, and take up
the work. The other officers were
reelected with two changes, Mrs
Ward.aw was made .vioe-presi.
dent in place of Mrs. Sultan who
was made historian.
May we not urge the members
to take note of the dates of thu
meetings, the last Friday in each
month, and not allow anothei
engagement to conflict with thii
duty. The next meeting will b,
held on Friday, March 31st, tn,
hour and place of meeting viii
be announced later. How cal
the work be carried on withou
! funds, and how can we get fund
unless the members furnisl
them? A MEMBER.

Popeioy Gains a Point.

Colorado Springs, Colo, JAN H.
Leslie w. Popejoy. local contractor,
who has brought suit to recover one
half the value of the entire Stratton
estate, gained point in the District
Court this afternoon, when Judge l..
w. Cunningham overruled every OBJ
lection raised by the estates attor-
neys, including motion to dismiss the
case, and ordered the estate to file an
answer within five days.
Popejoy sues for one-half the es-
tate, which he claims to be worth
100000, upon an alleged verbal
contract entered into years ago be-
tween himself and the late w. S. STRAIT
ton. The case was compromised sew
eral years before Stratton's death, a
considerable sum of money being paid
Popejoy at the time.
In his amended complaint, on file in
the District Court. Popejoy claims
that the late w. S. Stratton entered
into collusion with his (Popejoy'sl at
torney. j. Maurice Finn, in order to
force a compromise upon misrepresen.

and that the compromise was made
without true understanding of the
case by himself.

them. this action being confirmed by
the County Court. 1t is now in the

Washington government that the func-

and minister TO Panama be combined
in the person of the governor of the
canal zone. 1t Is argued by the me-.
moralists that the dignity of Panama
as an independent nation requires a
separate legation. The American min
lister has replied that the suggestion
was made in the interests of both Pan,
anna and the United States and that
he cannot withdraw it. He said that
he will report the request to his gov

WarshIps May Be Repaired.

Toxic. Jan 16.-A naval officer who
has returned here from Port Arthur.
discussing the condition OF the fort
ress. says:
THE conditions of the warships and
the town was much better than had
hoped for. Evidently there was much
fortifying at Port Arthur after the
siege commenced. The works on 203-
Meter hill were not permanent and the
trenches there were similar to those
used by the Beers during the South
African war. 1t seems that the Rus
SLAMS had no general electrical scheme
or movable engines or dynamos for
searchlights.
Russian naval officers say that IL
is impossible yet to ascertain whether
the japanese fire or the opening of
sea-cocks sank the ships in the har-
Dor. The hospitals are fairly well
kept and are still used for wounded
and for prisoners.

THE PHILIPPINES
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONS
People Generally Pacifed Except
Moros Who Adhere to PoIysamy
and Slavery.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE annual
report OF the Philippine Commission to
the secretary of war says that as soon
as the people came to understand that
the government had both the ability
and will to protect them. they began
to cooperate cordially with the con-
stabulary and other peace officers by
giving information against the lawless.
so that IL became possible to kill or
capture them
As n result. the report says. not n
single organized band of ladrones Is
now to be found in the island OF Lr-
zon; nearly all the leaders save five or
six have been killed or captured. and
the same may be said OF the Visayan
Islands with the exception of Samar.
The commission adds that there is no
reason to suppose that orderly condi-
tions will be otherwise than perma-
nent.
The relations between Americans
and Filipinos are said to be generally
cordial. with a steady growth of con-
fidence and good feeling between
them.
"All those who are justly entitled to
be called leaders of public opinion
among the f'ilipinos," the report says.
Americans"
Regarding the Moros. the report
says the great area OF the Moro PROV
ince. which includes practically all OF
the Islands of Mindanao and the Sulu
archipelago. except for $4,000 Ftlipinos
spoken OF as descendants of convicts
sent from the north by SpanlaTds. is
inhabited by Moros protesting Mo
hammedanism and by other non-Chris-
tian tribes. The authority OF the Sui
tan of Sulu was found. upon investiga-
tion. TO be repudiated by dattos in the
Sulu archipelago who possessed as
much authority as he. although he was
the titular head of the Moros. The re-
port says: =.
From time immemorlal the Moros
have practiced polygamy and have
been accustomed to make raids upon
other non-Christian tribes to replenish
their stock of slaves, as well as to en-
gage in piracy, while the Arabs taught
them tho use of firearms. The non
Christians were only too willing to rec
ogniZe American authority and receive
the benefits of protection. In a num-
her of instances they have been in
duced to establish themselves in VIII
lagos and to till the adjacent soil.
They are said not to be lacking In in
tellisence."
''Tn speaking of the abrogation OF
the treaty with the Sultan OF Sulu the
report says: while It had never been
recognized as valid and binding. and
as to the provision relating to slavery
had been repudiated by the President.
still it had been lived up to by the
Americans in every particular. includ-
ing the payment Of annual subsidies
to the Sultan and his principal dat
tos. but It had been systematically and
persistently violated by them"
The report says that a pacific pol
icy toward the Moros seemed to give
them the impressions that tie Ameri-
cans were afraid of them, but n short.
decisive campaign gave them to under
stand that the Americans not only had
the purpose but the power to support
authority and to enforce order. There
is no reason" 1t Is added. to expect
any further trouble with the Sulu
Moros."
