SCHUKMAN ON THE SITUATION. NEW YORK. Feb. IS. President Ja cob G. Schurman, of Cornell Univer sity. adJre:sed the members of the Phi Beta Knappa aiumni in New York last night on the topic "The Philip pines; a Retrospect and a Forecast." Among other things he declared that "congress will be guilty of a crim inal act if it does not pass the bill defining the rights of the Filipinos." Speaking of the future of the Phil ippines,, he said: "The situation over there has im proved wonderfully within the last three months, and is continuing to Im prove. General MacArthur has sent th most encouraging reports, and he is a good soldier and a thoughtful man." In conclusion he said: "It Is certain that we must maintain a large army In the Philippines, and "for a ong time to come. The Filipinos must be Impressed. They have no res pect for anything so much as for force. "We shall hold the Philippines r,r:d the Filipinos must be either I'lir i-art-nera or our proteges. It is not a ques tion of IjoKIlng 0n, In the Philippines; It is a question of letting go and we cannot afford to let go. Promises do not settle the policies of naiions and that applies to Cuba as well as to the Philippines." - . - - MRS. NATION ENDORSED. Ex-Governor John P. St. John Says She Is a True Reformer. KANSAS CITY, Feb. 2S. Ex-Governor John P. St. John, of Kansas, in an Interview vigorously . defended the course of Mrs. Carrie Nation in her crusade against the Joints in Kansas. He said that Mrs. Nation's position on the liquor question was like John Brown's position on the slavery ques tion and, although Tier methods are unusual and unrefined, she is a true re former and Is justified in using any means to abate the Joint nuisance in Kansas. While she may be technically guilty of tresps In destroying the Jointists' property, he .said, the destruction of property which Is being used notor iously In violation of the law is no crime. The ex-governor said that the action of Judge Hazen and County Attorney Nichols In prosecuting Mrs. Nation, while the jointists go unpunished, is a disgrace to the state of Kansas. Ex-Governor St. John was governor of Kansas when the first constitutional amendment restricting the liquor traf fic in the state was passed. NIXON GOES HOME.

St. has gone back to his shipbuilding yard In Klisabi-thport, N. J., saying that hii official labors In connection with the stamping out of vice In New York were ended. He made a statement just be fore going away in which he discussed brli fly the labors of the committee: "Our committee was appointed to co operate with any other body of cltl nens, he said, "but while a number of citlien came to us with complaints which mere acted upon, no one of the other committees ever expressed any desire to ai t with us. We were forced to move Independently. "Hiving now finished my work on the committee I now wish to say that whereas I have been freely criticised myself. I hav? no desire to criticise otlur. So far as I can any, the results of the IVy street raid have been such as to shatter the faith of the gamb lers in their Immunity. "Having spent three months In this work, taking up a great deal of my time. I feel that I am now entitled to the opportunity to attend to my own business, and in the future I shall not discuss the vice question." Asked as to whether or not he would irlve aid to the committee of fifteen, he said: "I shall do my share as a private citlien whenever the opportunity of fers." Discussing the difficulties: encountered by his committee, Mr. Nixon said: "You will understand how difficult it is to please everybody. In fact It seems that we cannot please anybody. Some members within the orga.nia.ulon. who did not understand our motives, thought that we were trying to hurt the organisation. The Republicans were dissatisfied because in our woik of reform we acted irrespective of whom we might hurt. It acted both ways." Asked what he thought of the raid of the committee of fifteen on gamb ling houses Tuesday night. Mr. Nixon said h-j did not wish to discuss the mat ter, but added: "If the committee of five had placed the city hall full of gimbling para phernalia what would have been said of us? I think that the raid we made could stand as an object lesson. We showed them how to get important wit nesses." NO USE FOR MIUTIA. New York's Mayor Thinks National Guard Is Not Needed. NEW YORK, Feb. 2$. Mayor Van Wycit has informed members of the arrurv Kurd that the national guard will never be called out by his orders. BriffadW-OeneraU Butt and McLeer resented the mayor's reflection on the guard. General Butt had asked for an approjriation for a rifle range foj tn? Thirteenth reytment, of which Col, David Austin is the head. General Butt explained that soldiers who could not shoot wer of no use. "They don't need to shoot in this city," said the mayor. "With our ex cellent pelice force there is no use for militia." General M:Leer turned quickly to ward Mayor Van Wyck and said: "There have been .strikes when the services of the guard were called for." "Not since I have been mayor of New York." was the retort. "Neither you !ior anv o:'e else will have to call them out while I am the chief executive of the city. The police force Is capable of handling any and all disturbancjs, and there will be no shooting." When the remarks of the mayor were repeated at national guard headquar ters the officers of General Roe's staff were arnazej. "I cannot understand how the mayor would stan 1 for such a statement," said Col. N. B. Thurston. "But for the ser vics of the militia last year at Cro ton dam, the whole of New York might have been without water. A little jynamite would have lone the work." DUKE LEFT THE DOGS. Had Ppimis d to Pay $1300 but Didn't Have the Money. NEW YORK. F K 28. The Times says: When the Duke of Manchester sailed for Enpland he left behind two terriers that lie had intended to take with him. "Th reason he did not carry them with him," siid a friend of the dogs former owner, "was that he had not paid for th-m. Mr. Kelly, of Boston, who is a frier.d of mine, sold the ter riers to th1 duke last year. Manches ter promised to pay $1300 for the pair. He did not pay. So when Kelly heard the duke was to iil, he came to New York. "but whr-n he went to the hotel the duke was not at home.' However, Kelly took his lawyer to the hotel and lay in wait for the duke. He found him in th- l-ibby. The duke said he had not the mon"y. His father-in-law, when ask"l to pay the bill, refused to do so. So th- duke had to let Kelly take ih- dogs." NATIONAL STEEPLECHASE.

M. -Sixty mem bers of the Grant Family Association and then guests celebrated In this city last night the third annunl reunion and the 3tWth anniversary of the birth of Prlscllli Grant, It was announced that there are now 12.000 of the de cendant of Matthew and Prlscllln Grpnt In this country. Matthew Grant and hi wife Prlsclltn landed In this country in ItUO. Th late Gen. U. S. Grant was one of their descendants. His sister, Mrs. Grant raimr, or r.ast (.'range, N. J., was present lust night and ant ut the head of the table. Th: menu cards contained ilu various theories concerning the origin of the family. Rev. Arthur H. Grant believes that It as of Scottish origin: Rev. Roland D. Grant that It was of Gae lic or Norman blood, but the Rt. Rev. Phellm O'Toole, In his work on "The Round Towers of It eland," cl.ilms that the Grant are a family antedating the birth of the first Irish kings. The notice on the menu cards concluded with the sentence: 'A learned genealogist has lately proved that the Grants are descended from Asiatic pirates who existed prior to 600 B. C." Telegrams wer? received from Grant Associations who celebrated last night In Cleveland, Ohio; Westfleld and Northampton. Mass., and telegrams were sent to lhee societies. SAMPSON IS WRONG. EK-Seor-t try of the Navy Thinks En list ?d Men Should De Promoted. NEW YORK. Feb. Win. C. Whit ney, ex-s.vr.'tary of the navy, when questioned last night sal l that he saw no jpxid reason why m-n who have served as apprentices In the navy should not be promcted to the line. When I was secretary of the navy," he ex:lain"d, "we could not find places for all the men who graduated from Annapolis. Now things have chang'd and there are not men enough from the academy to fill the places. Then, why an.' not the enlisted men a good field to pick fr"n? Why not give them a chance? Th?y are made of the same material as the officers. "In myi opinion the apprentice system of the United States navy 13 the b.-st in the world. It fits men to fill posi tions in every part of the ship and there Is no reason, if the acad-.-my can not supply officers, why men wh have come Into the navy through the door of enlistment should be kept out of the ward room." SURPRISE IN CANADIAN HOUSE. Mr. McLean, a Conservative. Attacked British Differential Tariff. NEW YORK. Feb. 23. A discussion in the house of parliament at Ottawa on Canada's trade relation with Italy brought out a wholly unexpected dem onstration of hostility to the British differential tariff, says a special to the Times. Mr. McLean (Conservative) of West York, said Europe was organizing max imu.11 and minimum tariffs for enemies and friends, with the object of dial ing collectively In a hostile manner with the United States, and Canada would come next. He considered the time had ecme for Canada also to adopt a maximum and minimum tariff. He, for one. did not believe In one sided preference, even for the mother land, at the expense of Canadian man ufacturers and workmen. If Canada wanted to support the empire It should be the support not of a part only, but of the whole, and not at the ex pense of Canada's manufacturers and workmen. H-; was certain the people of Canada felt that way. INTER-UNIVERSITY DEBATE. a Students From Universities of Pennsyl vania and Michigan Will Con test at Ann Arbor. PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 28.

A Interpreted by i'tu nlclpal experts, this decision means not only that the prevailing rate of wagca tlxed by law has revived lis leiith blow, but that all acts forcing the city to nav Its employes prcm-ilted sului'ea me unconstltud n.0. The question bus also been rulsul that this division atfVis the constitu tionality of the nvei t police law, which abolish the old board under which iVmiiiNsloner Murphy was ruin ed last week.

SAN FRANCISCO, Fi b. 28 -Co!. e tor of the Port Htratton, has p-Hyed ttjtn Washington a treasury depart ment ruling w'hbh has an Important bearing on Chinese Immigration.

The six gentlemen sent by the state to Interest congress In irovldlng for the closing days of the few who remain of Oregon's early Indian fighters, will return home in a few days, not caring to participate In the confusion and ex i-ltement of inauguration day. The suc 11 ss of their mission Is, as yet, un certain, but the prospects are very fa vorable. The great Interext manifested by the state in defraying their rx pens.n here, even more than the pres ence of the veterans, has greatly aid ed the Oregon delegation In Its con stantly maintained fight for this rec ognition of those who fought to build up our western empire. Plans for Irrigating the arid lands In the West at the expense of the national government have been presented before congress after congress. The advocate of such 11 measure are more active this year than ever, and there Is reason to believe that their efforts will eventual ly be succ.-Mnful. The senate Is more favorably disposed towards this pro ject than is the house, the Western states having a larger proportional representation In the upper body. Several bills are being considered In Seoul,, committee, and one will, doubt less, very shortly be reported by the committee on public lundM. In the house, the committee on arid lands and irrigation has reported a bill which ap orotirlates no money directly from the treasury, but directs the application of money received from selling public lands In the arid sections, to be applied for the building of reservoirs and can als. The nppropilatlons of the pres ent session of congresH are nearlng the billion dollar mirk, ond It Is very un likely that any bill applying money, directly or Indirectly, for reclaiming the defci rl lands will pa both house nt this time, but It seems quite prob able that at the next regular session congress wlil net favorably on some measure similar to 'that, reported .vbjr the house committee on Irrigation.

Thi I Just a true of the committee on arid land and Irrlgutlon as of any other nunmlt- tee, The chief nlsliiiniy wmk of the Irrigation lobbies should be dlrect-il to wards convincing Siw-nk-r II h-rn. The ciinimH'-e which Mr. Tongue ia halrmun ha not l-en considered a very Important one; Mr. Tongue de siring to retain hi rank on the river and harbor committee. Hul he at tempted (he (,'bitlrtnanshlp of tome more, !lnMirtant committee, he would" have been foriH-d to yield h's place cm the rivers and harbor committee; but, with the prospect of favorable ucltofl on Irrlgnlbti measure, the committer on urld lati'l and lrilgathn will be come an extremely Import int one, and rank close after that of rivers and har bors. W'lih the exception of thr.e countlm. Ijike, Klamath and JoaeplilnP. there Is practically no Irrigation riceiimury In Mr, Tongue's district, but In the second district governmental aid In securing water will convert thouind of acre, now pnu tleilly worthies. Into rich and productive farms. It is perhaps not impertinent to sug gest that the Oregon Agricultural Col lege und experiment station follow tho lead of several similar Institutions of the Wist, nnd establish a department for Invesilgitlrg the subject of Irri gation and arid land reclamation an conc'rn Or.ifon. 'J he complaint that a college nnd station In the Willamette valley cannot properly study the con dition In 1-iiHtein Oregon and usulst the farmer there is, of course, ab surd; and to divide the college, as re cently attempted, would be dlsunt rolls. The neglect of the irrigation ques tion, which now practically concerns only the eonterii part nf Oregon, might subject the rnrli-ge to an Indictment of unfairness. The regents of the In stitution are, without exception, un usually active nnd broad-minded gen tlemen, and I heir aim has Ix'en to make the funds at their dlsisieal cover as wide a rnnge und as useful u field US possible, and they W ill doubt leas Mud a wny for the proper handling of the subject of Irrlgntlon.
