WANT GARDENER AS A WITNESS.

' Warm Discussion In Seriate.

tary of war to order by cable Major
Gardener , now In the Philippines , to
come Immediately to Washington to
appear as a witness before the Philip-
uuiiniiiiiuu , iuULiiiiuuuu u wurm
discussion. The debate continued for
about two hours , considerable feeling
being manifested on both sides of the
chamber. The charge was made by the
minority that the majority members
of the committee were endeavoring to
suppress facts and Information. This
was denied by the chairman of the
committee , Lodge , who said that such
action would be inconceivably stupid.
All parties , he insisted , were anxious
for the fullest information , but he and
others contended that It would not bo
advisable to cable to the Philippines
for Major Gardener , as he was about
to come home and would bo here In
time to appear before the commltte9.
Patterson and Carmack urged that
Gardener's testimony was particularly
Important and that It ought to be had
before action was taken on the pending
bill. The resolution finally went over
for a day. The bill for the purchase
of the Rosebud reservation In South
Dakota and the sundry civil appropria
tion bill were considered , but no action
was taken on them.
PLASTIC KIND OF PEOPLE.
Filipinos Not Ready for Self-Govern-
ment , but Not Hard to Control.
Washington , May 1. Major General
MacArthur gave further testimony he-
ore the senate committee on the Phil
ippines. He explained bin statement
that absolute chaos would result
should Independence be given the Filipinos
pines and the United States forces be
withdrawn , by saying that the people
of the Philippines , being less prepared
for self-government than any of the
Latin-American republics at th < j time
of their emancipation from Spain ,
their own unaided efforts would In all
probability prove abortive.
The people of the Philippines , he
said , have rudimentary Ideas and as
pirations , and are therefore in an o -
sentlally plastic condition , which , un
der the control of the United States ,
would , in hla opinion. admlt , of a rapid
molding of the body pollMc into a con
sistent , self-supporting commonwealth ,
American withdrawal from the isl
ands would , In his opinion , result In
the permanent failure of republican In
stitutions In the east and a fratricidal
war , which would C9ntlnuo until suppressed -
pressed by some exterior force.

PRISON FOR A PRINCESS. '
Found Guilty of Forgery and Given a
Two-Year Sentence.
Capo Town , May L Princess Rad7l- .
will , who has been on trial hero before '
the supreme court on the charge of for
gery In connection with notes purport
ing to have been endorBed by the lalo
Cecil Rhodes , was sentenced yesterday
to two years' Imprisonment In the
house of correction ,
London , May L The morning papers -
pers comment upon the remarkable ca
reer and personality of Princess Rail-
zlwlll. They generally attribute Mr.
Rhodes' death to the worry she caused
him and to the fact that ho was obliged
to return to South Africa in the hot
test weather to tight this case. In a
sketch of the princess , the Dally Tele
graph says : Mr. Rhodes lived in al
most comic terror of her. His house
was always open , says the paper , and
his notions of hospitality did not per
mit him to deny his door to anyone.
As a result Princess Radziwlll was a
frequent , but unwelcome , visitor. The
Dally Chronicle describes the princess
as probably the only woman who ever
obtained the least influence over Mr.
Rhodes.
