MISSIONARIES IN PHILIPPINES.
Bishop Potter Discusses the Question
of Teaching New Religions
to Filipinos.
NEW YORK. March 28. 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-

rush. But the old question about the
price of armor still retains its power
to cause trouble and .while there ia no

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.

NEW YORK, Marcli 28. The Journal
of Commerce says:

Doctors still prescribe mercury and
erals never yet made a complete and permanent cure of Contagious Blood Poison. They drive the disease
back into the system, cover it up for a while, but it breaks out again in worse form. These powerful minerals produce mercurial
rheumatism and the most offensive sores and ulcers, causing the joints to stiffen and finger nails to drop off. Mercury and
potash make wrecks, not cures, and those who have been dosed with these drugs are never after free from aches and pain
S. S. S. acts in an entirely different manner, being a purely vegetable remedy ; it forces the poison out of the system, and
instead of tearing down, builds up and invigorates the general health. S. S. S. is the only antidote for this specific virus, and
therefore the only cure for Contagious Blood Poison. 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. S. is not a
new, untried remedy ; an experience of nearly fifty years has proven it a sure and unfailing cure for this disease. It is the
only purely vegetable blood medicine known.
