Writing In the Churchman on "The Religious Sit uation in the Philippines," Bishop Pot ter says: "It may be asked: Is it worth while to send missionaries to the Filipinos. Are they not largely, as we have been told, a Christian people with thurches, schools, ministers ot religion and the like? Is it worth while to intrude upon them teachers and teachings which they have been taught to regard as of the devil (some of the recent pronun clatlcns of the archbishop of Manila are In this connection and, to Ameri can ears, literary curiosities) and so to begin the work of a higher civiliza tion by inflaming religious prejudices and by awakening violent religious controversies. "I confess it seems to me that this will be a question for the Filipinos aa well as American citizens to answer. If they want such teachers then, cer tainly under our system of government they are entitled to have them and no wise American, under whatsoever pre text, will attempt to Interfere in the 'work of the church, not only among Filipinos, but among Chinese and oth- ..ers, and tho church has qualifications for mission work in these islands which other Christian bodies have recognized. But beyond what is already under way, a denominational propaganda of vari ous types would at present be only mis leading and confusing. 'The Filipinos must first understand what Americanism means. They are at present so largely in the dark as to our Institutions and those great ideas of political and religious freedom upon which they rest, that the perfectly well meant, but-not always considerate pre sentation of the truth by those whose attitude is one of strong antagonism to the teachings and Institutions of Rome would only be inflamatory und unset tling and might end in a situation in which the illusions of the old faith had been destroyed without the substitu tion of anything better. In the meantime it ought to be dis tinctly understood that henceforth in the Philippines any man may worship God accoiding to his own conscience, and if he is so minded, to invite others to unite in doing so with him." HIGH SPEED REQUIREMENTS. New Armored Cruisers Will Go 23 Knots and Battleships 19. NEW YORK, March 28. A special to the Herald from Washington says: Commander Taussig, when he re turns to the Philippines, will probably be placed in control of the naval sur veying work In the archipelago. Rear-Admiral Bradford, chief of the bureau of equipment, has recommended to Secretary Long that the vessel un der his command, which will be the Yorktown, be made the parent ship for th hulf dozen little gunboats which are to be converted into surveying ships. Rear-Admiral Melville, engineer In .chief, has submitted to Rear-Admiral Hlchborn, chief constructor, the weight of the machinery that the proposed battleships will require. The machin ery for each vessel will weigh 1900 tons and will produce about 19,500 horse power. The horse-power will give the 'vessel 19 knots speed. The weight of machinery for the pro posed armored cruisers will be about 2,000 tons and will produce about 23,000 horse-power. This will drive the vessel through the water at a speed of about 23 knots. THE NAVAL INCREASE. May Be Delayed by the Old Question of Armor Plate. NEW YORK, March 28. A special to the Times from Washington says: Th? naval authorities are watching with considerable Interest and some fear for the action of congress on the appropriation for naval increase. Some of the department ofllcials express the opinion that the bill may be lost. Naval otticers interested in the fate of the appropriation are strongly in clined to believe that this year's ap propriation for new battleships will be left until near the adjournment and some of them are not hopeful that it will be passed at all. No one doubts that on the mere ques tion of whether the United States shall have enough battleships or not the ap- ... . . . i u ..l.h propnallon wouia go inruusu nm. rush. But the old question about the price of armor still retains its power to cause trouble and .while there ia no Belt Buckles Gilt, Oxidised, Gun Metal, enameled and Old Hose; each and 50c. Belts Ladles' lilack Satin Fulley Boita, the lateet; each lie and 25c. opposition to the bills there is so much haggling about the cost of armor that it may result in no appropriation at all. The old Idea of having the govern ment establish an armor plant of Its own is revived and some members of congress favor It if the companies which now supply the government fuse to come down to their idea of the right price. The trouble is that there is not as yet any agreement as to what the right price Is. There Is some talk to the effect that the companies might be willing to re duce the cost without any such men ace, but this is always coupled with the mention of conditions which are not likely to secure powerful enough suport in congress to Insure their adoption. FRENCH BLUFF IGNORED. State Department Takes No Stock In Her Reputed Claim on Danish Islands. NEW YORK. March 2S.-A special to the Herald from Washington says: Investigation of the subject made by the state department has convinced the officials that the French govern ment possesses no rights In the island of St Croix, of the Danish West In- dies. The French government is not telng considered by Secretary Hay in con nection with the negotiations under way with Denmark for the acquisition of the Danish West Indiea by the Uni ted States. The department has not been advised of the purpose of the government to introduce a bill in the Danish legislature authorizing the sale of the islands. There is little doubt that an agree ment will be reached when the crisis n Copenhagen has passed, provided. of course, the new cabinet is as favor able to the transfer of the Islands as is the one which began the negotia tions. AMERICAN KRUPP PLATE. Satisfactory Tests Made at the Indian Head Proving Grounds. WASHINGTON, March 28. The first Krupp plate manufactured by the Bethlehem Steel Company has passed a very successful test at the Indian Head proving grounds. The plate represented a group of 300 tons intended for the Russian battle ship Petvlsan, under construction at Cramps. It tapered from nine to five inches in thicknes. It was twelve feet long by seven wide and was supported by the usual oak backing. The plate was the target for four eight-inch armor-piercing projectiles, each weighing 250 pounds. The re quired velocity to be attained by each shell was 1,932 feet per second, but the velocity in every case was higher, the maximum being I,9i0 feet per second. The greatest penetration obtained was three inches. No cracks appeared and there was no extensive flaking. The shells all broke up. Armor experts say that the plate made a very satis factory showing. MORGAN GOES TO EUROPE. Will Close a Big Deal In American Railroads. NEW YORK, March 28. The Herald says: J. P. Morgan will sail for Europe on the White Star liner Teutonic today. He is to meet William K. Vanderbilt In London to arrange, it Is said, a big railroad deal for which Wall street has been waiting and hoping for two years. Important European financial interests are alM to be seen regarding the same matter. It directly concerns the New York Central and its allied lines. No inti mation of the real nature of the mat ter can be obtained. It is known that the Morgan and Vanderbilt railroads are now working harmoniously. CANADIAN STEEL PLANT. Big One to Be Erected at the Mouth of the Welland Canal. NEW YORK, Marcli 28. The Journal of Commerce says: Plans for the organization of the Canadian Steel Company, the incorpor ation of which, with $18,000,000 capital is now pending in the Canadian legis lature, are being rapidly matured. A meeting of the organizers of the company was held In this city this week at which details of the organiza tion were agreed upon.

CHICAGO, Mar h 2S. Vito Paolette the Italian saloon keeper, who lost the power of speech sikn after the mur der of his partner, Michael Gtavlo. with whkh he Is charged, made two attempts to commit suicide.

No matter in what stage or how hopeless the case may appear, even though pronounced incurable by the doctors, S. S. S. can be relied upon to make a rapid, permanent cure. S. 8.
