The bulletin of the Philippine GEN.
sus says:
The archipelago consists Of $40 in
dependent groups Of islands, with an
aggregate population of 1884
About 9 per cent are wild tribes; the
remainder more or less civilized
chiefly less. All are Catholics in re-
ligion. There are only four cities of
over 10000 population. Three-ffths
of the people live in villages. There
are only $4,000 foreigners and three
fourths of these are Chinese. The
population has quadrupled in 100 years.
The line of demarkation between the
tribes is closely drawn. The people
are too clanish to marry outside their
tribes. There are as many females,
practically, as males, but only one-third
of the population is married.
Only about half the population can
read any language. Less than that
perce can write. Only one-fifth can
bStA read and write. The college edu-
Gated form about liz per cent Of
the total.
The mass of people cultivate small
patches of ground and gardens and
fish and hunt. The women are expert
weavers. Among the Visayans are fine
needlewomen, embroi9erers, lace max
ers, etc.
The vital statistics show that the
people develop early, marry early and
die early-s2 per cent before the age
of fifty. Malaria carries away 81 per
cent, cholera 33 per cent. Contagious
diseases can scarcely be controlled on
account of the ignorance as to santa
ton, etc.

Past Week of the War.

Important war developments were
expected in the far east last week, but
the expectations were not realized.
The great naval battle for which the
world has been looking may yet be far
away, for even the experts have found
all their calculations upset by the pro-
gress of events. 1t was thought that
the two fleets must come together soon
after Rojestvensky had passed Singa-
pore, but no one seems to know what
Admiral Togo's plan Of campaign is,
and predictions as to the great fight
that must eventually come are merely
guess work.
1t is evident that France will heed
the Japanese protest against the Rus
sian squadron making French waters
base for operations, and Rojestven-
sky will probably put to sea and move
toward the north. He may be attacked
off Formosa or he may be allowed to
approach nearer to Vladivostock. One
authority had it that the Japanese
plan was to allow the Russian ships
to enter Vladivostock, where they
could be destroyed after the fashion
adopted at Port Arthur. Perhaps such
a program might appeal to an expert,
but to layman it would hardly seem
possible that a good sea fighter of the
Togo order would allow hostile fleet,
after so long a voyage, to proceed leis-
urely up the Chinese coast and not
attempt to do serious damage to it.
The Manchurian war news has been
even more featureless than that from
the sea. The great armies appear to
be idle, and there is no definite infor-
nation regarding contemplated ad-
vance movements. However, it has
not been the practice of Oyama to
stand still If he was in a position to
move effectively, and it can not be
many weeks before he once more takes
the aggressive.

Portland, Ore, April 26.-Without

United States Senator John d. Nit.
chell is support by Judge Bellinge, of
the United States court for the district
Of Oregon, who rendered decision of
about 5000 words on the plea Of abate-

The contention Of Mr.. Heney that
George Giustin, member Of the fed
eral grand jury which indicted Senat.

was supported. The defense commended
that Giustin was not citizen of the

that Mr.. 4eney may prove Giustin's

Law Must Be Supreme.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Judge James Jen-
kins. who recently retired from the
United States circuit court bench. has
written an article for the Milwaukee
Journal, in which he holds that a
peaceful strike would be like blood.
less war, and that only through vio-
lence can a strike succeed.
With reference to government by
injunction, Judge Jenkins cites the de-
cision in the memorable Northern Pa.
cine case, restraining a strike, and
concludes.
"The only safeguard of society, of
life and Of property is to maintain the
supremacy of the law, whether 1t be
challenged by corporations, by capital
or by labor"

NAVAL fight RUMOR|
JAPANESE SCOUTING DIVISION
BUMPS into RUSSIAN FLEET.
RoJestvensky Sailed North Last Sat.
urday From kamranh Bay and
Heavy Firing Was Heard All Day in
Direction in Which They saiIed-ls
Thought Japs Are Playing for Time.

Paris, April 25.-It is believed here
that there was some fighting between
Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet and the
Japanese scouting division late Satur.
day afternoon. This belief is based
upon a special dispatch to the Temps
from it's correspondent at Saigon. who
cables as follows:
1.-THE entire Russian feet, which has
been anchored in Kamranh bay for
some days, sailed northward at noon
Saturday. Soon after they had passed
out Of sight vigorous cannonading
was heard in the direction in which
they had sailed. The firing continued
until late in the evening and is believ.
ed to have been caused either by an at.
tack on the advance guard of the Rus.
sian fleet by Japanese scouting
squadron or else an attack by destroy.
ers on the Russians"
A later dispatch from the cores.
pendent says: -Four transports, with
troops aboard, arrived at Saigon on
Saturday. No one was permitted to
board them and there is no means of
finding out where they are Dound The
captain of coasting schooner which
arrived here late on Saturday night re-
ports that he sighted a Japanese cruis-
er squadron on Friday, and it is sur
missed that these are the vessels that
have been engaged with the Russians.
The firing previously reported is de-
clared to have been heard by a num-
Der of vessels in the route that the Rus.
slams took, and the belief is general
here that the Japanese are doing their
best to harass the Russians, and will
continue to do so until Togo gets his
main feet into position to give bat.

spell, which came after rally on
Thursday morning, and which was fol.
lowed by an apparent Improvement
until Friday, the family had been
waiting for the end. Mr.. jefferson
condition Saturday night grew stead.
lily worse, and the family, who had
retired, were summoned from their
beds and DR.. Potter was called. The

Waiting on Naval Battle.

st. Petersburg, April 25.-The news
from Manchuris indicates that Field
Marshal Oyama's plans await the re-
suit Of the naval battle, it being too
risky for the Japanese army to under
take serious operations while the out.
come of the sea fight is in the balance.
Should Admiral Rojestvensky reach
Vladivostok, and Admiral Togo still
be able to protect the Japanese lines of
communications, the general belief at
the war Office is that the Japanese will
forthwith attempt to cut off and invest
Vladivostok and make of the place an.
other Port Arthur.
