My IVnr Mr. President: I have the honor
to enclose herewith fur trunsmlMxIun to
ongrips the report of the comiiilfMon ap
pointed by the Philippines commission to
investigate tho use ot opium and the traf
lic thcieln and tho rules, ordinances and
lawa regulating such use and tratlic In
Japan, Formosa, Shanghai, Hong Kong,
Saigon, 8ingaoie, kiurmah, Java and Hit)
Philippine Islands.
The law in force in the Philippine Islands
under the government mf Sm made it
unlawful for any Filipino to smoke or use
opium In any way. It permitted, however,
a license to Issue for the maintenance of
opium smoking resorts. -to bo patronized
onlv by the Chine, and police Buperviskm
whlk exercised over the rsirts. and any
Filipino found there was arrested and pun- j
lehrd. The owner-of the rewnrt waa also I
punished for conniving at' the Filipino's
violation of the law. It Is generally
thought that the law waa fairly well en-j
forced, and tliu spreud of the drug among
tho Filipino waa much retarded by Its en-
forcement.
When the American troops entered Ma
nila nnd took pvsHcaalon Of tha Islands tha
Hpuntsh opium law us: not continued in
force. A duly waa Imposed on opium and
towns wert enjoined t pass ordinances for-
bidding the eKtablishinent of opium dives.
Much information as the commission could
obtain indicated that the-'suspension of the
Spanish law hud h-d to an increase of tho
use of the drug among Filipinos.
American Law Inferred.
Fairly In liaiS there was Introduced In the
I'hllipplne commission for enactment Into u
law a bill following In some respects the
Spaniuh law, especially .In the main ''fea
ture, that the sale ot opium to Filipinos
mid Its use by them 'be absolutely pro
hibited and mado a penal oftense by tho
members of the house. It was very vigor
ously opposed by the clergymen of the city
of Manna. Indeed, so strong was their
opposition that It led the commission to
table the bill and to appoint a committee
authorized tc visit the various Oriental
countries to investigate tho measures taken
by the different government for tho pur-
pose of suppressing the use of opium.

was little opposition except from clergy
men, who favored government monopoly,
but In view of the short time before total

Is considering making the sunie for the

solons have decided to adhere to the thirty
six hole qualifying round,-but this will be
followed by a first round also at thirty-six
holes. Then comes aecond, third, and semi
Ilnal rounds at eighteen holes, with the
tinals over the longer route. There seem
to be no real reason why the intervening
rounds should be made shorter than the
first and last. In spite of the faot that the
Urltlaher asserts strongly .that eighteen
holes is the only gaino ot golf, the fact
remains that the element of luck is tar
less likely to affect the result In a thirty
six hole route. Apparently the shorter
round.- are inserted a time-savers, but
six days would suffice to run off tha
event with every round twice over th
course.

WIFE IN OMAHA, WHERE SHE HAS CHILDREN
Preacher Wanted by Hashand Who
Ooea Into Capital f'nart Woman
- Daasihter of Ex-Senator
Rice of Arkansas.
Mrs. Fannie Rice Bassett, a daughter of
ex-Senator Rice of Arkansas and promi
nent socially In Washington, D. C, is an
applicant for a divorce in the district court
of Douglas county. Her husband la Charles
C. Bassett, who is employed In the govern
ment geological survey and now a resident
of Washington. Mrs. Bassett came to
Omaha about a' year ago and ha resided
here since. ,
Her petition was filed February 13 and
wa Immediately withdrawn by her attor
neys. Baxter A Van Dusen.
The principal charges are cruelty and
nonsupport for the last two years. Mrs.
Bassett lias with her their Ave children,
four boy and one girl. They are all un
der-la year of age and it is understood
the principal fight will be over their cu
tody. Word was received Sunday, that Mr.
Bassett had begun divorce proceeding In
the court of the District of Columbia and
also was asking the custody of a part at
least of the children.
Baxter Talk of Case..
After the receipt of the following special
telegram from The Bee's Washington' cor
respondent last night Judge Baxter was
called up by telephone from hi residence
at the Madison hotel and asked if Mrs.
Bassett could be Interviewed.
' 'Positively not,' were her own words
today," said the Judge. "Mrs. Bassett told
me today when your reporter called on me
she would not see a newspaper man now.
She would not talk If she did see one, but
would only refer. the reporter to me."
Judge Baxter was apprised of the con
tents of the 'Washington dispatch.
"Yes, we understood the suit had been
flled," he said, "but i did not know on
what grounds. I am not familiar with
the details of the case as your telegram
gives them. I knew ' nothing of this
preacher' identity. I will say this much:
They In the east have been making threats
of a cross-suit ever since we filed our case
in Omaha. They first tried to get Mrs.
Bassett to consent to give up some ,of the
children to her husband, all of whom she
has with her and all of whom she will
keep. She will never surrender one. Hill
ing to secure the children by peaceable
means, they, then resorted to threats. These
ugly charges were made against her, but
she was still informed they would be with
drawn and the husband would not file suit
if she would give up the children. Still
she refused. Finding they could not coerce
or Intimidate her, they filed the suit, but
as we flled first ours will be tried first in
Omaha, and It will be tried very soon, too.
That suit In tho cast is wholly for the
purpose of punishing Mrs. Bassett, whom
they atill hope they may be. able to crush
into submission to their demands.!'
Preacher In the Case.
, . . tFrotn a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 12.-(8pe
clal Telegram.) What promises to be i
most, spectacular divorce case has hoan
begun in tho courts of the District of Co-
lumbla through cross bills that have Just
been filed. . The parties to the suit are Mrs
Charles C. Bassett of Qmaba and Charles
C. Bassett of Washington. Mrs. Bassett is
represented by Hillary Herbert, ex-sccre-
tary of the' navy. Bassett, who is a topog
rapher In the geological survey, began suit
against his wife on statutory grounds, nam
ing E. Lawrence Hunt, formerly pastor of
the Washington Heights Presbyterian
church of this city. The charges against
Hunt becoming known to members of his
church, he was compelled to resign, later
being called to a church in Brooklyn. Mrs,
Bassett went to Omaha a year or more ago.
and having secured residence there began
suit against her husband on the ground of
nonsupport and extreme cruelty. Mrs. Baa-
sett I aald to be an accomplished woman.
Mr. Herbert said today the case would be
fought to a finish that his client' nam
might be freed from sensational charges
made against her by her husband. It is
stated that when the congregation- -of
Hunt' church heard of these charge yes
terday. there wa Intense excitement, and
in all probability he will be asked to re
sign his Brooklyn charge.
PRESSURE NOT .. SUFFICIENT
Force of Water Company' Plant Pro-
noanced Too. Weak by Fire
Chief Salter.
In hi testimony before the Jury tn the
federal court case of the Omaha Water
company against the city of Omaha for
hydrant rentals Chief of the Fire Depart
ment Salter said Monday morning that the
fire pressure obtained from many of the
hydrants In certain parts of the city waa
not sufficient to carry a solid stream of
water beyond the fourth story of build
Ing. In many instance the third story
wa the limit of a solid stream. It wa for
the reason of the deficient fife pressure In
the water main of thla city that so muny
steam fire engine were used and needed,
he aald.
Mr. Salter was sharply cross-examined
by R. 8. Hall for the water company.
Superintendent A. B. Hunt, of the water
company testified a to the -location and
placing of hydrantL In various parts of the
city since the establishment of the plant
Among the witnesses examined Monday
afternoon were A. C. Koenlg, secretary of
the Water board; Dr. A. H. Hippie, mem
ber . of th Water board, and Benezette
William, a hydraulic engineer of Chicago,
The testimony of Mr. Koenlg and Dr. Hip
pie bore chiefly upon the faulty filtration
of th water and the location and number
of hydrants, which had not been made tn
conformity with the contract between the
city and the water company. Engineer
.Williams' evidence bore chiefly upon the
comparative value of vertical, angular and
horizontal pressure and waa largely tech
nlcaL it being the purpose of the defense
to show t the inadequacy of the fire pres
sure furnished through the main by th
water company. Mr. William waa still
on the stand at the adjournment of court
Monday evening.
City Engineer Kosewater will be called
Tuesday for examination. From present
Indication th trial of the case will con
tinue for the remainder of th week.

WOMAJ 1)1 CLU3 AND CHARITY
The celebration .of the thirteenth annl-
ersary of Its founding waa the chief sub
ject of dlS'Uisslon at Monday afternoon's
tneejJng- of tee Woman's club. The "birth-
ay" rvlebratfon has been a conspicuous
cature on the f lubs calendar and Is
sually observed with a recitation or pro
gram of some tiort. April 2i is the date
nd It was suggested that the celebration
be held the day before, which Is the reg
ular meeting day of the club. A picnic
later In the spring and a Joint picnic with
the club women of Council Bluffs were also
suggested as suitable observations, but the
matter waa finally referred to the house
nd home committee for more definite plans
to be passed upon by the club.
A beautiful tribute was paid to the life
nd work of Susan B. Anthony and to the
ause of woman suffrage by the chnlr-
man. Mrs. Andrews reculled the conven-
lon ot the National Woman Suffrage as
sociation, which 1-onvoned recently at Bal
timore and of it crowded attendance of
ho foremost men and women of the con
servative city, as well as from all quar
ters of the United States. She spoke In
detail of the program presented by mem
ber of the faculty of the several large
women's college In honor of Miss An
thony and the other pioneer who had
made possible ' this higher education of
women.
Announcement was made of the post
ponement of the celebration of the first
nnlversary of the organization of the
Juvenile court In . Douglas county from
March 28 to Sunday afternoon, March 25,
at 4 o'clock, the place to be announced
later. Judge Mack of the Chicago Ju
venlls court and ' Henry Thurston, chief
probation officer of Chicago, will be the
peakers. The meeting was held In the
chapel instead of the auditorium of the
church. The program of the afternoon
was presented by the department of phys
ical culture and expression of which Miss
Minnie Hiller is leaner. A farce, "The
Obstinate Family," wa given, a stage
having been built in the west parlor. The
cast was as follows:' Mr. Howard, Mrs.
F. Wagner; Mrs. Howard, Mrs. H. L.
Dennis; Jessie i Hal ford. Mrs. J. O.
Burger; Jane, ' the Hereford' maid. Mrs.
J. .Hammond; Lucy, also a. maid, Mrs.
W. Challls. A violin solo by Miss Caro
line Conkllng, a recitation by Miss Hiller
and a vocal solo by 'Mr. Weather con
stituted the rest of the program which
was one of the most appreciated of the
year. , ,-
Mrs. William.. Thayer Brown, chairman
of the literature, committee of the General
Federation of Women's clubs, has sug
gested the following questions as subjects
for literature conferences, believing that
they will be suggestive of Improvement
to many clubs:-
Is an expert program preferable to one
prepared by members?
Hnoulrt the purely literary club oe a lim
ited club? -. -
Is the club the place for serious study
or for general culture?
Most significant' tendency of this period
Is the change In women's relations to one
another. Are women's clubs the cause?
Are women's clubs too strenuous in their
work? As a rule, men's clubs are social,
and women's clubs are formed to do some
thing. Compare. , ,
The ninetv-thlrd annual meetinir of the
Ladies Benavple'nV, society was held re
cently at CharleVlown', S. C. During th
past three years'tlrt' Society has conducted
a visiting) nurses vfvgrk which seems to be
the most saitefaqier. work ,tt done. The
superintendent of n arses reported 1 pa
tients cared for ''during the past year, and
$777.18 spent Th society has 161 members
and is closely allied with the Associated
Charities of Charleston, tbls co-operation
materially furthering the work of bath or.
ganlzatlons. As early as 1S14 the society
gave Its aid to women In their efforts
to earn a living in such ways as were
open to them at that time. The member
collected sewing or put out their own to
women in need of work, frequently solicit
ing such sewing- from the mistresses of
large plantations in the vicinity. A
woman' exchange and . finally a needle
work guild developed until today the
society embraces several departments that
are working for needy ones, whether they
be men, women or. children. The work
is supported by the-membership dues and
hy contributions from ' interested . friends.
When tne visiting nurses . work was
-launched three years ago the society had
in sight support for but a few months, but
the worth and value of the work was so
Boon demonstrated that It friends have
not allowed , it to stop. Tha aoclety is
proud of its record, not . only as one of
the oldest organization of the south, but
one of the oldest women' organizations
of the country. 1
Speaking of a trip which he and hi wife
recently made in the . interior of Persia,
the Rev. F. M. Stead, a Presbyterian mis
sionary, tells of . a . visit they made to a
remarkable Persian woman who had hit
upon a comfortable way of managing her
husband. The place waa a little village
called Gizil All, where Mr. Stead had the
privilege of preaching In a Persian "ande
roon (th apartments of the woman).
The . woman of the house. Khan Glzi, he
consider one of the freest women In
Persia, and told her so. She manages
her own household and large estate per
sonally; govern ber villages, and acta
the part of a Judge for all her serf. She
deals with outsiders herself, and Carrie
on.alarge correspondence. She has a hus
band, whose little' property she bought up
long ago, and to whom she now pay a
monthly salary of, forty toman. He stands
In practically the same relation to her
as one of her' hired servants. . She sat
and talked with Mr. Stead with veil drawn
aside, quite as an English or American
woman might do, which Is most unusual
when Persian customs are considered.
Khan Gist and her household probably baa
no equal In Persia.

ST. FETERSUt-'KU, March li Father
Gapon wa arrested today, on the eve of
the inquiry demanded by him Into the
scandal involved In the charge that his
labor organisation waa subsidized by the
government.
M. Tlmlrlazeff, minister of commerce, in
an interview, exonerates Father Gapon
from all blame, declaring that he Is an
Idealist and a man of force, nnd acquitting
hint of receiving any of the money given
by the government to M. Matushenski,
GnKin' former assistant. Nevertheless,
hla enemies Intimate that Unpon arranged
the arrest because he feared revelalionh
and desired to throw dust in tho eyes of
his followers by giving himself the appear
ance of being persecuted by the govern
ment. In practically all the first stage of the
peasant selections a faction lu tl.e villages
refused to participate. Report front Smo
lensk, Mishkln, Volkine and elsewhere Indi
cate that the peasants generally chose con
servative delegate to the district conven
tions, which will select delegates to the
provisional conventions, at which repre

chosen. Nevertheless, at the first district
convention at Moscow yesterday the peas
ant representatives, while they did not suc
ceed in choosing their delegates, strongly
favored the selection of tho peasant ugalnst
the land owner claes.
Workmen Boycott Ballot Box.
Feeling on the subject is evidently being
aroused, a proportion of the workmen re
fusing to participate and a much larger
body, the entire radical wing, belonging to
the social democratic parly, is boycotting
the elections at Moscow, where about a
third of the employes of the fuctoiies have
refused to vote. This wing has adopted u
resolution declaring that .tho national as
sembly is a mockery, as tne election law
favor the rich against the poor, th land
owner against the peasants and the em
ployer against the workmen, adding:
'The purpose of the government is not to
convoke real representatives of the people,
but: persona who will obey the instructions
of the government. It simply wants to
see the national assembly to raise money.
The Russian people are more In slavery
than before. We refuse to participate In
the elections and demand a constituent as
sembly, on the basis of universal amnesty
for the thousands who are now being ar
rested and toent Into exile."
M. Kutler, who recently resigned the post
of minister of agriculture, was registered
on tho list of the constitutional democrats.

BRITONS DEBATE PROTECTION
Motion Fall to Provoke Difference
Bet vi era Chamberlain and
' " Balfour.
LONDON, March 12 Tho first day of the
debate In the House of Common on ' the
motion of Sir James Kitson, ministerialist,
declaring It to be-the determination of Iar
liament to resist any attempt to institute
protective duties, proved to bo uneventful.
The, motion was aimed to emphasize the
dissension supposed to exist amongst the
unionists, but former Premier Balfour hu
morously treated it as a motion of censure
on the opposition and both he and Joseph
Chamberlain avoided committing them
selves to any expression of opinion. The
main points of Interest In the debate were
ot a personal nature, Mr. Chamberlain once
calling the premier "uncivil" and In an
other Instance Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-man
replied, reproving the opposition for
wasting time, said: "Enough of this tom
foolery; move your amendment and let
u get to business,"
The debate continued into the ' small
hours. At one point Sir Edward Clarke,
Mr. Balfour's colleague In the representa
tion of the city of London, made a notable
repudiation of Mr. Chamberlain' fiscal pol
icy, though declaring himself In favor of
Mr. Balfour's policy of retaliation.
The division will be taken Tuesday.
Balfonr la the House.
LONDON, March 12.-Former Premier
Balfour returned to the House of Commons
today and assumed the v leadership of the
opposition. He wa heartily welcomed.

Everything has to have a beginning, and one of tlie most prolfie source
of th diseases and weaknesses so prevalent among men Is the result of abuses
in early life or neglected or Improperly treated pelvic diseases, such as fjnn
orrhoeu. etc. While Gonorrhoea Is considered One of the simplest contagious
diseases, yet througn neglect it develops Into Htrlcttire and Uleet, Insidiously
progressing and tenaciously fastening itself upon the system until It has ln
vadud the kidneys, bladder and prostatic region, rendering It so complicated .
as to be Incurable In some cases. 1'erhaps the rlrst symptom was a little dis
charge, which if properly treated, could have been cured in a tew days. Rheu
matism Is another result of Improper treatment of this condition, producing
not only excruciating; pain, but It frequently warps nnd twists one. or more
of the Joints in the body, producing horrible deformities, frequently deprlvinsc '
the Individual of the ability to earn a living for himself, leaving him a helpless
and tortured cripple for life. Another deplorable result of this disease, when
improperly treated Is swollen gland, that are not only painful, but will flniilly
destroy a man sexually, and In many cases physically. When this disease,
through neglect or improper treatment by It extension- has cnused a cystttk;"
Invasion of the bladder, thence by Its extensions up the uterers to the kidney '
It there produces results that are Indeed lamentable. Borne men through ig
norance of the consequences which are sure to follow neglect or improper
- treatment. consider this a trifling ailment and rely upon patent medicines,
druggists and unskilled doctors in an effort to secure relief for tbe cost of a
bottle of medk-lne.J and by this procedure allow the disease to make such seri
ous Inroads upon Ihe sexual and nervous systems that It IncaniLcitates them '
for the physical, mental and sexual duties of life, and the patient pays dearly
for his economy, or tho selection of Incompetent attendance.
