Representatives of the 200,000 Poles living In Chicago met In Ave meetings In different parts of the city tonight to protest against the al leged cruelties of Prussia in her Polish provinces.

It was told how children, flogged by their German teach ers for saying their prayers in their na tive language, had been arrested and thrown Into prison, together with their parents who "voiced a protest.

' LETTER FROM STEPHEMBONSAL He Declares That Governor Taft Is Mistaken in Believing: the End of the "War Is Near. - v WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. The New York Herald today prints two pages from Stephen Bonsai, a correspondent who has spent three monthB In the Philippines, giving a tevlew of the conditions In the islands. He takes a pessimistic view of the situation, saying that Governor Taft is honestly mistaken In believing the end of the insurrection is near, and regards the natives as irreconcilable and better organized than beforo the capture of Aguinaldo. He claims the Army is being demoralized and the Insurgents are grow ing In determination; also that the civil and military authorities of the United States are not in accord. The native con stabulary, organized with great care, Is not loyal, he says, and a great danger ex ists In It, with a possibility of an upris ing like the Infamous Sepoy plot. Bonsai says "that Taft has not had the opportu nity to ascertain the facts, while his In formation has been gathered from officers, soldiers and natives. The article will no doubt be used by those who are opposed to retaining the Philippines In the coming debates in the Senate. Paget SoBBd Xa.vy-Yard Slighted. Suitable appropriations for the Puget Sound Navy-Yard are being urged verv persistently by Senator Foster, who has called attention to the fact that the real estate and chattels of the Mare Island Navy-Yard are valued at $5,3S7.noi, as against $&H,993 at the Puget Sound yard. He has also called attention to tho ma chinery plant at Mare Island being valued at $600,146, as against 5255,122 for the Northern Pacific station. Also that the appropriation for maintenance and Im provements for the iast fiscal year ending June SO, 1901, was $1,478,101 for, the Cali fornia yard, and $442,S97 for the Bremer ton yard. In thus showing that the ex penditures on behalf of the Mare Island yard are about six to one as compared with the Puget Sound station. Senator Poster directs attention. to the Jjojct that the grea't battle-ships Iowa, Oregon, Wis consin and. others had to be sent to the Puget Sound Navy-Yard in order to bo docked. The advantages on behalf of the Northern. Pacific Station arc very numer ous, according to. Senator Foster, who Js of the opinion that one of the greatest navy-yards, not. only of this country, but of the world, "will, if due recognition Is jlven to merit and advantages of loca tion, be established In the very near fu ture on Puget Sound. Senator Foster has challenged any member of the naval committee of either House, who Is unbi ased and has examined Into the advan tages of the Puget Sound yard, as com pared with other navy-yards of the United States, to offer any objections to a larger appropriation Roosevelt Anxloax for a Cnnnl. President Roosevelt has made It plain to every caller who talks with him that ho favors a canal, and that he expects some canal to be authorized at this session ot Congress. Senator Morgan says ho ex pects to get a favorable report from his committee after a hard fight, and expcts the Senate to sustain the committee after a still more determined contest. "Want Transports Retained. Secretary Roofs proposition to abandon the transport service of the War Depart ment i3 meeting with strong opposition from a number of Congressmen, who de clare that once the transports are taken off the Government will find Itself at the mercy of -a few shipping companies!. GOVERNMENT CONCEALS NOTHING. Governor Taft Answers the State ment of Bonsai. CHICAGO, Jan. 26. William H. Taft, Civil Governor of the Philippine Islands, arrived in Chicago this afternoon from Baa Francisco. He was met at the depot by President S. M. Felton, of the Chi cago & Alton Railroad, and went at once to Mr. Felton's residence, where he spent the day. Governor Taft left at 9 o'clock tonight over the Pennsylvania Railroad for Cincinnati. It was his intention to hurry on to Washington Tuesday, but tue death of Mrs. Hernon, his "mother-in-law, at Cincinnati, caused him to alter "his plans, and it will be several days before he reaches the capital. "The only answer I have to make to the ideas of individual observers who declare that the true condition In the Philippines is being concealed, or that we are hugging delusions of peace that can never be brought about, is that the -Government is concealing nothing, and that its con clusions are not based on wild theories, but on substantial facts." This was the reply Governor Taft made to a statement published by Stephen Bonsai, declaring that desperate opposi tion is still being encountered In the field, that the natives are Irreconcilable and are better organized than before the capture of Auglnaldo. Governor Taft said that although there was a time when for military reasons It had not been advisable to malic pub lic everything occurring in the Philip pines, the necessity for such secrecy Is over and that no effort Is now being mado to conceal any part of the truth from the people of this country. "As a matter of fact," he added, "dis trust Is being kept alive by sensation alists who seize upon every petty point and seek to twist It Into some horrible barbarity of our Government In the Islands. Take, for Instance, the talk about concentration camps. Although I am not sufficiently well acquainted with the full military plans to speak with absolute au thority, I can say that the whole subject is much misunderstood by our people. As a matter of fact, there has never been any thought of establishing 'con centration camps' in the ordinary ac ceptance of the term. All that has been proposed Is an Insurgent cordon, the es tablishment of a deadline. Into which will gradually be drawn all the reaa--nants of Insurrection that exists. "The non-combatants on the Island have never, even at the hardest period of the war, received anything but the ut most kindness and consideration at our hands, and it is hardly probable that this policy will be reversed, now that the opposition is .fast drawing to a close." The Governor believes that the only existing opposition to the authority of the United ' States Is being fomented by the rnen from the Hong Kong junta, mo3t of whom were formerly residents of the rich coffee-growing province of Batangas. "It is in this province." he went on, "that we are now meeting with our only difficulty. My statements concerning the close of the rebellion are not 'opti mistic,' in the sense that they are over drawn. They are based upon nothing but plain facts. "The natives arc rapidly developing an affection for our Institutions and a large number of former insurgents have be come valuable members of the com munity, fully worthv of any trust that may be reposed lti them. The coming elections will develop the real progress in this direction, and I am certain that the result will be gratifying. The re strictions placed on the privilege of the ballot are prlnc'jKfc of an educational character, a fact that' will, of course, cut out numbers of Filipinos. But this Is a condition that will be bettered rapidly. The progress of education Is satisfactory and our policy in this direction is liberal. "No obstacle of any character is put in the way of the parish schools. Indeed, it Is now generally understood throughout the Islands that the Government will eagerly welcome the establishment of ad ditional institutions of this character, as long as they conform to the educational standard demanded in our public schools and instruct pupils In the English lan guage. It is utterly Immaterial to us what the character of the school Is. All factors that will aid in the work of edu cation are welcome." Governor Taft refuses to discuss the future of Auginaldp. He says that tho deposed leader's fate Is In the hands of the military branch of the service en tirely and that the civil arm has the responsibility of neither his custody nor his behavior. SPECULATORS WILL SUFFER Overreach Thtm.xrlve In Trying: to Gqt Ahead ef the Pennsylvania. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26. Samuel Mc Rae. fourth vice-president of the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company, who will have direct executive charge of the construc tion of the extensh e New York tunnel for that company under the two rivers and Manhattan Island, In discussing the re ports that the company will be forced to pay exorbitant prices for property In New York for terminal purposes, because speculators have obtained possession of much property needed, said today: "When the Pennsylvania Railroad first began to purchase property in New' York for terminal purposes, and before it was known what the purpose of these pur chases was or who the real purchaser was, certain real estate speculators, ob serving the activity In real pstate In the vicinity of the proposed terminal, bought up certain properties and secured op tions on. others- in advance of the com panyj rfresan&iZWji WAiefl - t- was finairyrufcnbunced that' the Pennsylvania Railroad proposed to tunnel under the two rivers and "Manhattan Island, to gether with the location of the terminal station, these speculators at once placed a prohibitive value upon the property secured by them. Being unable to come to terms with them as to price, there Is nothing left to do but to secure It under condemnation proceedings, which will be Instituted at the proper time. In the pur chase of the property by the speculators the prices paid by them were greatly in excess of that paid for surrounding and adjoining property secured by the com pany, and which, under the proceedings, will form largely the basis of value for the property yet to be obtained, some of which Is held by the speculators. On that basis the- speculators are likely to be awarded less for the properties held by them than they paid for them." Nctt Issue of Canadian Pacific Stock OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 26.

The sub stance of the speech was that If the Christians of Luzon and Vlsaya wanted Independence and show themselves capa ble of assuming It, this country will even tually give It to them. President Schur man said today that he believed the policy he advocated would, more than anything else, promote the welfare of the Filipinos. President Roosevelt, he said, declared In his message to Congress that we are to do for the Filipinos far more than any other nation has ever done for tropical, people and that we are to flt them for aelf-government after the manner ofvreal ly free races. He said he stands with Fresident Roosevelt lh his policy and is against that advocated by General Wheat on, which would mean colonial servitude like that of Java and India.

STOCK LOSSES IN NEBRASKA Blizzard Ragrinsr In the Cattle Dis tricts. OMAHA, Jan. 26. Predictions made last night as to the probable disastrous ef fects of the blizzard which raged all day yesterday and last night were partially verified In reports received here today and tonight from points In Nebraska. What seems a remarkable condition exists in the vicinity of Ogallala, where the storm was more severe than In any portion of the state except the northwest quarter. It was expected that the losses among cattle In that district would be enormous, but reports received from the localities affect ed state that no loss of life was sustained. From the northwest portion of the state reports are not quite so flattering, while those from Kimball and Banner Counties indicate that heavy losses have occurred. Basset, in the heart of the cattle district, reports severe losses In that vicinity. Ber trand.also reports heavy losses. So far no loss of life has been reported as a result of the storm. A late report from Alliance says that the thermometer dropped to 25 deg. below zero, with a veritable blizzard raging. Clear, Calm and Cold in. Kansas. TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 26.
