A particu larly Interesting section of the report. In troducing tho whole question of l'hlllpplno relations, deals with military and political conditions, the efteot of tho American clcc tlons and leRlslntlvu procedure and acts.

Tho InteuBcst Interest was left by tho In surgents before tho election In tho Issue nnd tho Intensest disappointment since, which will certainly effect the collapse of tho Insurrection In the near future. From now on conditions In theso islands will grow steadily better." I'rluiH nml Their Impulsion. Ono of tho longest chapters In the re port and ono of tho most absorbing Interest concerns tho frlurs In the l'hlllpplnes. The commission handles thla subject In the greatest detail and with the utmost freedom. It .gives tho history of the expulsion of theso friars from their places by the rebels and declares that thu burning question agitating the Filipinos Is whothvr they shall bo permitted to return. The com- j mission listened to nil sides, Including the archbishop of Manila, himself a friar, and the churchmen brought forward by him. Laymen, o Ulcers, newspaper correspondents nnd other nud their chanco to testify upon this subject. Tho commission says that tho friar was the embodiment of nil au thority, governmental as well as religious, In his loyalty, nnd not a single function of government could bo performed without his asslstnnco nnd participation. As to the mooted question of tho Immorality of tho friars the commission says that tho evidence on this point Is so strong that It seems to cstnbllsh clearly that there woro enough Instances In each province to glvo considerable ground for the general report. Iiiiiniiriillly of l-'rlnrn. That such immorality should exist among tho friars, It says Is, howover, not strange In vlow of tho fact that many of them enmo from the Ignorant peasantry of An dalusia nnd were not by training fitted to resist temptation. lint Immorality on the part of the, friars, It Is held, uns not the principal ground for tho hostility towards Uiem of tho people. Tho commission says: "It did not shock tho common people or arouse their Indlgnatiou to seo their curate establish illicit relations with a woman nnd havo children by her. The women did not loso caste on that account, but often prided herself on the relation to tho chief nllthorlty In tho vllloce. nt there may havo been Instances In which a friar used his autocratic power to estab. lis t n relation of this kind ngalnr.t tho will of the woman and her relatives and thoJo cases havo lent themselves to deepen the colors of tho lurid nnd somcwhnt over drawn pictures painted by tho antl-frlar writers." .Miieli 1ii1iIIi l.n,i,Y. Tho report shows that tho total amount or land In tho Island owned by tho Augustln lans, the Dominicans, tho Franciscans und tho Kecolletos, is approximately 103,000 ncres, besides which they have large sunn, of money to loan. Most of this property has been transferred by tho Dominicans to a man named Andrews nnd by tho Au gustlnlans nnd by tho Jtccolletos to Eng Ish corporations, but the commission says theso transfers nro not genuine nnd the frlnrs remain the owners. It declares, however that tho Fulled States governmonl Is hound by treaty to protect theso In- J1"'1, ""KKets that they bo purchased for public lands out of the Island revenues find by condemnation If need be. though no ordors have expressed a willingness to sell nt a satisfactory price ""neaa Itogardlnir the return .if (I,., t-i .. commission says that tho deep-seated ha .

Tho athletic repre sentatives of the western colleges nre lu n tangel over tho subject of the management of tho annual trnck meet, which comes lu June. It Is all tho result of the conference of athletic directors to tako charge of the meet, which hcretoforo tins been run by the gradunto cxccutUo committee of tip) West ern Athletic association. At the conference of fnculty directors only nlno colleges were represented, wherens tho Westorn lulcrcol leglnto association was mado up of a much larger number of colleges. Nevertheless the big nlno assumed to take control of track meets In the future, but announced that all colleges would be permitted to participate In the mee,t. This left tho W estern intercollegiate Ath letic association to piny second llddlo. but Innsmuch ns tho big nine represent the more Influential colleges, n majority of the members of tho Western Intercollegiate Athletic association concluded It would bu better to disband the organization nnd al low tho conference to tako chnrge of the nrinunl meet. Today, however, when the gradunte ex ecutive committee of tho Western Intercol legiate Athletic club met at tho Sherman house to consider the proposition of dis banding, there was much difference of opinion and It was decided to postpone the abandonment and nwalt developments. Sev eral of the minor colleges wnnt the Western Intercollegiate Athletic iibsoclatlon to con tlncu in control nnd think they should hnvi a volco in running the mcots. Tills opinion, It Is clntmed, Is shared by Chicago and Wisconsin at least, especially by other col leges who nre members of tho Westorn In- tercollcglatn Athletic association and the college conference. J. Scott Urown, who was Chicago's rep resentative nt yesterday's meeting offered his resignation ns a member of the grad unte exectutlvo committee end this further adds to tho complexity of the situation, nl- though Mr. Ilrown's resignation wns not accepted. It Is said Mr. Urown will also refuse to act on tho cdnfcrcnco cominltteo appointed to prepare for the Juno moot. However no final netlon wns taken nt to day's meeting nnd another session of the Western Intercollegiate Athletic associa tion representatives will have to be held, ono of the questions before tho grnduato ommlttee being tho disposition of $S0O re- mnlnlng In tho treasury of the old organiza tion.
