NATIVES NATURALLY INCLINE TO PEACE laaae Adnata Writes aa Analytical Letter Dealing with the reaple f the rhlllpplaea u4 Their Proapeeta. The following la a copy of a letter re eelTed by Judge Blair from Iiaac Adama, for several years a well-known attorney here In Omaha, but who for the lait two yeara or more haa been In the Philippine lalanda, moat If not all of the time on the Island of Luton: V STEAMSHIP ZAFIRO, China Sea, April . Hon. Joseph H. Blair, Omaha My Dear Judge: Only yeaterday did I receive your kind favor of February 10. It gives me ao much satisfaction that I Improve thla opportunity to thank you for the Informa tion you give me and more for aentlmenta ao cordial aa to be unaffected by time or distance. To me It bad aeemed that the Philippines were becoming more a matter of borne poll tics than of colonial policy. But newspaper Impression are much lesa aatlafactory than the Judgment of one In touch with public opinion. The evolution of eventa baa placed the Filipino In a situation where he haa ao choice between being a peaceful man or a dead one. It la a mistake, however, to as aume that extermination la likely to be hi fate. Ho appreciate the power of our gov ernment. With rare exception these peo ple are aa law-abiding aa our own. Tbey are by nature pacific. While In the wildest localities they ar prone to form bands for purposes of plunder, they are not warlike. They like to ileal, but not for profit. To be euro aome remote communttiea do not real lie the necessity of submission. But military operatlona, 1 think, Mume an un due Importance In the dlspatchea aent borne. The military here have a penchant for mak ing the moat of their deeda, however insig nificant, and then it la o much more pic turesque to aend cablegram home about rifles and bolos than about court and chools. I quite coincide, however, In think lng that our people are here to tay. His tory doe not abound In Instances of na tlona withdrawing from territory once ac quired. While the difficulty of attempting to produce Anglo-Saxon fruit from Oriental treea la not likely to diminish, our people are not wont to abandon our undertaking because of It difficulties. Where the Mistake Lies. In dealing with these people I do not think the authorities give sufficient con sideration to the radical difference between Oriental and European blood. W have been ao accustomed to assimilate every aort of foreigner that we had to deal with that It la aaaumed that Aalatlca will also yield So the civilizing Influence of free institu tions. The Filipino 1 a branch of th Malay race, the most degenerate stock In Aala. The Malay race, whether In Java or Sumatra or the Malachlan peninsula or the archipelago, la homogeneous In Its do xneatlo cuatoma, mental tralta aad char acter. Heretofore no branch of thia race has shown Itself capable of development from within or of availing Itaelf of the progress of other races. Malays swarm and multiply and that la all they ever . have accomplished. The cllmatto Influence un der which they live seem to have affected Ithelr moral fiber ao that they have not the Jforcs essential to progress 'socially. In dustrially or politically. Though in con itact with Europeaaa, their standard re main primitive and do not Improve or vary. in their every habitat they are satisfied with the natural product of the earth and water aa food, with cloth made of fiber for their raiment aad with a fifteen-toot square nlpa hut for their dwelling. Since ghey want no more, how are you going to Induce them to toll to get more? Your Flliplao fellow cltlsen uniformly, - from peasant to priest, eats with his fingers, sleeps on the floor, wears the same clothes slight and day and washea himself but once a week.

It re sembled leas even the thickest gloom of a night In the open air than the close and blind darkness of some narrow room. But In proportion as the blackneaa gathered did the lightnings around Vesuvius In crease in their vivid and scorching glare. Nor was their horrible beauty confined to the usual huo of fire; no rainbow ever rivaled their varying and prodigal dyes. Now brightly blue as the most asure depth of a southern sky now of a livid snakelike green, darting restlessly to and fro aa the folda of an enormous serpent now of s lurid and Intolerable crimson, gushing forth through tbf columns of smoke, far and wide, and lighting up the whole city from arch to arch then suddenly dying into a sickly palenesa, like the ghost of their own life! In the pauses of the showers you heard the rumbling of the earth beneath and the groaning waves of the tortured sea, or, lower still and audible but to the watch of lntensest fear, the grinding and hissing murmur of the escaping gases through the chasms of the distant mountain. Some time the cloud appeared to break from Its solid mass, and, by the lightning, to as sume quaint and vast mimicries of human or of monster shapes, striding across the gloom, hurtling one upon the other, and vanishing swiftly into the turbulent abyss of shade, so that, to th eyes and fancies of the affrighted wanderers, the unsubstantial vapers were as the bodily forms of glgantio foos the agenta of terror and of death. The ashes in many place were already knee deep and the boiling showers which came from the steaming breath of the vol cano forced their way Into the houses, bearing with them a strong and suffocating vapor. In some place Immense fragments of rock, burled upon the house roofs, bore down aloag th streets nrasse of confused ruin, which yet more and more, with every tour, obstructed the wsy, snd as ths day advanced the motion of the earth waa mora sensibly felt the footing seemed to slide and creep nor could chariot or litter be kept steady, even on the most level ground. Sometimes the huger atones, striking agalnat each other a tbey fell, broke into countless fragment, emitting aparka of fire, which caught whatever waa combustible within their reach, and along the plalna beyond the city the darknes was now ter ribly relieved, for several housea and even vineyard bad been set on flames, and at various intervals the fire rose sullenly and fiercely against the solid gloom. To sdd t this partial relief of the darkness the citizen had, here and there. In the more public place, auch aa the porticos of Philosophy In his address at tbe farewell dinner ten dered him by the Union League club of New York last Wednesday Hon. Whltelaw Reld, apeclal ambasaador of the United Statea to the coronation of King Edward VII, replied to the criticisms which the appointment of the embassy has called forth In the press ' and in congress. Mr. Reld paid particular attention to the acoffing critic who have outrageously caricatured the style of clothes member of the embassy are ex pected to wear at the coronation ceremonies and turned the table on hla critic by cit ing the precedent of eminent democrats of the old and th new school at monarchical functions. ' "It appears now," said Mr. Reld, "that I had failed to graap the sartorial dangers' that threaten the republic I hadn't real ized that this great cause of freedom round and round would be ' in peril, or that the bashful Goddess of Liberty would turn her face from us and veil it, it one wore in th English capital auch clothes as other people wear such clothes as our own Mr. Choete has now been wearing without perceptible harm to the republic for three years past, and such as were worn before by a long line of his honored predecessors, including dem ocrata like Thomaa F. Bayard and Edward J. Phelps, and such republicans as James Russell Lowell and Robert Lincoln and John Hay. In fact, in my unfortunate Ignorance of these protounder mysteries of dlplo. macy and of the foundation of the repub lic, I wa thoughtlessly willing to leave the clothea question to the tailors. "But th alarm raised by th sentinel on the watch towers of liberty startled me from that blind unconsciousness of danger. Settlag at last about a serleus tuty of tbe subject of clothes, I took a fresh course la Carlyle's 'Sartor Reaartua,' and sought to bring the wisdom of Herr Teufelsdroch himself to bear upon th mighty them. Vast Fortunes of This Decade Nothing more marks thla decade from othera than the sudden accumulation of fabulous fortunes. When I graduated from Yale there were only two multi-mil. ionatres in the United States, John Jacob Aator and Commodore Vanderbllt. Neither of them at that period had reached the $10,000,000 limit There were not In the whole country twenty people worth $1,000,000. Today there are more than 100 in Pittsburg alone who have pasaed that figure. There were then no trusts, no great combinations of cap ital and no concentration of lnduatrlea. These have made possible our industrial advance and superiority over other nations. They have Increased the acale of wages and enlarged the area of employment. They haws given vaat power to a few men whs are being closely watched and who have la their haada vaat responsibilities which ar accompanied by great perlla. Tbe niis- uae of theae great powers, the exercise of them oppnaaively, tbe Imposition of bur dens upon the people beyond reasonable returns for capital invested, the failure to recognize the rights of all. will be sure to react in drastic meaaurea of legislation. Theae vaat fortunes, themselves u mn. aplcuoua. so almost incomprehensible, are ai present more maiiera or curiosity than of antagonism. Moat of the possessore of them have shown a wlae generosity ia the distribution of their wealth. In no other country in the world, at no other period, have the rich from their abundant riven ao lavishly to education, philanthropy and patriotism. Last year th known sum which war thus contributed amounted to th high figure of $107,360,000. Tbe con- somehow they force themselves upon a fel low if he thinks.

Frequently, by the momentary light of these torches, parties of fugitives en countered each other, aome hurrying to ward the sea, others flying from the sea back to the land, for the ocean had re treated rapidly from the shore an utter darkness lay over It, and upon its groaning and tossing waves the storm of claders and rocks fell without the protection which the streets and roof afforded to the land. Wild haggard ghastly, with super natural fears, these groups encountered each other, but without the leisure to peak, to consult, to advise, for the showers tell now frequently though not continuously, extinguishing the lights, which showed to each band the deathlike faces of the other, and hurrying all to seek refuge beneath the nearest shelter. The whole element of civilisation were broken up. Ever and anon, by the flicker ing lights, you aaw the thief hastening by the moat solemn authorities of ths law, laden with and fearfully chuckling over the produce of hla sudden gains. If in the darkness wife was separated from husband or parent from child vain was the hope of reunion. Each hurried blindly and con-, fusedly en. Nothing in all the various ' and complicated machinery of social life was left save the primal law of self preservation. Advancing, as men grope for escape la a dungeon, lone and her lover continued their uncertain way. At the moments when the volcanic lightnings lingered over the streets they were encbled by that awful light to steer and guide their prog ress, yet little did the view it presented to them cheer or encourage their path. In parts, where ths ashes lay dry and uncommlxed with the boiling torrents cast upward from 'the mountain at capricious Intervals, the surface of the earth pre sented a leprous and ghastly white. In other places cinder and rock lay matted in heaps, from beneath which emerged the half-hid limbs of some crushed and mangled fugitive. The groans of the dying were broken by wild shrieks ef woman's terrors now near, now distant which, when heard in the utter darkness, were rendered doubly appalling by the crushing sense of helplessness and uncertainty of the perils around; and clear and distinct of Clothes And yet with all this delving by the mid night oil (as dispensed at an unjustifiably high price by the Edlaon company) into the philosophy of clothes, I am still be wildered to understand why the costume which our fellow citizens themselves find quite republican at home and a favorite in the country or at play necessarily be comes monarchical abroad. Or, to state the brain-racking problem in -ita acutest form, why should the liberties of the re public hang entirely on the question whether its representatives on a few cere monious occasions presume to dress their nether limbs as George Washington did or only and exclusively aa well, not to be too personal, let us say a Mr. Jefferson Brick doasT "Pursuing the lofty study, I went at last to the fountain of wisdom for a diplomat, the records of the department, and there found that an eminent secretary of state, the late John Qulncy Adams, had pre scribed In detail the uniform to be adopted by our foreign ministers and had had It engraved for the convenience of their tailors; that afterward an eminent presi dent, the late General Andrew Jackson, had modified this uniform somewhat to suit his more military taste, and that his secretary of state and eminent citizen of our own state, the late Martin Van Buren, bad forwarded to our ministers Instructions for its manufacture; that subsequently mili tary uniforms were sanctioned and that later another eminent citizen of New York, the late Hamilton Flah, advised Mr. Jay that congress had withdrawn the secre tary's discretion as to prescribing a cos tume snd so he must leave it to the min ister's own discretion. "In such perplexity I went at last for light and leading to the most notable con tributions of that late eminent statesman, . treat ia great between the comprehension by the multi-millionaires of ths United Statea, who have gained so enormously by the tremendous development of our resources and because of their masterful control and promotion of them, of what they owe to their country, and those of other lands who have been similarly for tunate. The legacies of Cecil Rhodes ar magnificent, their purposes ar sufficiently grand to make them seem wlss and benefi cent, but' the distribution of this vast fortune, accumulated by tbe opportunities given by his government, calls attention to other fortunes much larger than his own similarly acquired. Except under the Inspiration of these oap ltallats and for the protection of their mines and investments and for the promotion of their schemes, the war In the Tranavaal would hardly have been begun. Their palaces, their lavish expenditures aad their Oriental gorg-ouaness of living have made Park lane one of the most famoua of avenues. But one hears everywhere in England, where wealth and rank are aeldom criticised, little but criticism of these enormously rich men. And yet South Africa has not produced, with the exception of Cecil Rhodea, a bens factor Ilk Carnegie, or Rockefeller, or Morgan, or acorea of other Americans whose names are not ao well known. The lack on the part of these South African million aires of public spirit aad of recognition of tbe debt due to the country to which they ewe ae much gives to Cecil Rhodes, man of affairs, empire bUlder and dreamer, a mo nopoly among the beneficlariea of Eng land's expansion aad development, of the to each atat university throughout the union 10 pe paiu rrom in proceoda of public lands snd to be increased tl.WO per year for five yeara.

Its whirling torrents, and, from time to time, the burst and roar of aome more fiery and fierce explosion. And ever as the winds swept howling along the street they bore sharp streams of burning dust and such sickening snd poisonous vapors as took away for the Instant breath and consciousness, followed by a rapid re vulsion of the arrested blood, and a tingling aensatlon of agony trembling through every nerve and fiber of the frame. Suddenly, a he spoke, the place became lighted with an Intenae and lurid glow. Bright and gigantic through the darkness, which closed around It like the walls of hell, the mountain shone a pile of fire! Its summit seemed riven In two; or rather, above Its surface there seemed to rise two monster shapes, each confronting each, aa demons contending for a world. These were of one deep, blood-red hue of fire, which lighted up the whole atmosphere far and wide; but below, tbe aether part of the mountain wa still dark and ahouded, save In three places, adown which flowed, erpentlne and Irregular, rlvera of molten lava. Darkly red through the profund gloom of their banks, they flowed alowly oa as toward the devoted city. Over the broad est there seemed to spring a cragged and atupendous arch, from which, as from the jaws of hell, gushed the sources of tbe sudden Phlegethon. And through the stilled air wa heard tbe rattling of the fragment of rock, hurling one up6n another aa they ' were borne down the fiery cataracts dark ening, for one instant, the spot where they fell, and suffused the next, in the burnished hue of the flood along which they floated! And meekly, softly, beautifully, dawned at last the light over the trembling deep! the winds were sinking Into rest the foam died from the glowing aiure of that delicious sea. Around the east, thin mists caught gradually the rosy hues that her alded the morning; light waa about to resume her reign. Tet, still dark and maaslve in the distance, lay the broken fragments of the destroying cloud, from which red streaks, burning dlmller and more dim, betrayed tbe yet rolling fires of the mountain of the "Scorched Fields. The white walls and gleaming columns that had adorned the lovely coasta were no more. Sullen and dull were the shores o lately crested by the cities of Hercu Isneum and Pompeii.

But in winning the honors of her class many a girl has lost the great prize of health. The excitement of examinations and in termingling with school mates causes girls, whether at boarding school or at home, to forget the precautions of health.
