Jl-dl4l PEST OF TOE PHILIPPINES A Nebruk&n Picture, the Ladrone U He it at Home, MOST DESPICABLE CRIMINAL ON ISLANDS Xatar of Ilia Crlaaea Oatllned by Jdg Korrla Efforts of the Government to Eater cnlaat thai Peat. Hon, W. F. Norris, formerly on the dis trict bench of Nebraska, now judge of the Fifteenth judicial district, Caplx., Philippine Islands, draw an lnatructlve character ketch of the Philippine lad roue, for whom much sympathy la expressed In certain uuarlers In this country. In a letter to Tha Res Judffa Norris aava: In a recent publication entitled "Our Philippine Problem"1 the author refera to the ladrone of this country as "The benlQ cent protector of the people." During six years residence In tho Philippines, par of which were spent In the capital and part In the provinces, with exceptional oppoi tunltiea for observation of tho life and character of th people of the lower classes. I feel justified In the statement that the Filipino ladrone Is the meanest and most despicable of criminals and that he 1 ao regarded by all classes of the population, detested alike by rich and poor and out lawed by all authorities that have held way In any portions of the archlpelugo, Spaniard, Insurgent and Amcrlcnn all re garding him aa a public pest .whose ex termination la Imperatively demanded by tho public welfare, which consummation bid fair to be apeedlly accomplished through the strenuous efforts being made by the Insular government. Levying Tribute OB th Rich. Tho rich man haa Buffered through forced contributions to the ladrone to aava his sugar crop from destruction, though this eclea of exaction la much less frequent than formerly. The poor man haa been nd still Is hla chief victim, hla meager property being ot the mercy of the outlaw bands who infest the country districts. The pacification of the country 1 retarded, Its tranquility continually disturbed, agri culture Interfered with, all business de pressed through the operations of the thieving banda styled by Mr. Willis "The benincent benefactors of the people." The ladrone is a robber, the Spanish word meaning either thief or robber, as most the robbers proceed to ransack the prem robberlea are committed by small banda of ses, which la speedily done, the single room armed men, tne term moronism in mis cuumry is uuueieuiou iu iu-.ii where several participate In the act.

The crime, consist fng in general of forcibly depriving a poor family of Its meager stock of provision nd clothing and the single carlboa on whose labor he depends for th cultivation of their little patch of land that supplies the rlco constituting their principal food The ordinary band of robbera consists of from three to twelve men, though some times a gang of fifty or more will assault an Isolated barrio or small pueblo or the ... . .. . .. .... dwelling of a wealthy family where there some probability of resistance, these gentry never undertaking an enterprise In which there Is risk of life or limb.

In ordinary rob beries the banda aeem to be extemporised for the occnslon, some local leader gather ing half a doirh followers from the baser eort of the population for the special oc casion. Antonio has a grudge against MvodomoB, who perhapa has asked him to pay a debt, a sore affront to Antonio aa with most Filipinos. Nlcodomoa being a thrifty fellow has an extra cavan or two of rice In his house and possibly fifty Mexican peso hidden away In One of the bamboo joints of hla house, ao Antonio can at the same time satisfy hla revenge "d the cupidity tf hla follower by a aaultlng and looting the dwelling of Nlcodomos. Juan. Pedro, Soferlno, Igna cio, Andrea, Rustlco and Vulplano agree to share In the enterprise and on the night designated meet at tha house of Antonio. The motly crowd armed with bolos, spears, and perhaps bowa and arrows, which oc casionally constitute th weapons of some of the party, proceed to the residence of their Intended victim. The houses of the common people are build upon bamboo poles some six or eight feet above the ground. Nlcodomos and his family are asleep, like all Filipinos living In the coun try retiring for the night a little later than their chickens go to roost. The family are rudely awakened by crle of come down; Nlcodomos, come down; we are constabulary," as soon aa he reallzea the situation the trembling Nlcodomos. obeys the summons and la received and Immediately bound by the ladronea, whq tie hla elbowa together behind his back, then further secure him by binding him to a betelnut tree, I mention this particular species of tree for the reason that it flgurea ao conspicuously In trlala of this character, tho very frvnuent testimony of the complaining witness, being "they tied me to a betelnut tree" which statement la corroberatod by the family who liberate the husband or father, after the departure of the ladronea.

After securing tho head of th house. 0f the nepa hut being stripped of Its scanty contents which are put on the back of the carlboa, this patient animal helno- en. erally found conveniently near, the apace un(jer tne house being the usual carlboa yard.

New life has been Infused Into the Jobbing trade by the recent rains. Trade was good before the rain, but the fear cf damiise by dry weather cauwd some unoAaluca both among retailers and Jobbers. Now the un easiness haa been dispelled. Jobhers have received let (era from deslera In many aeo tlons saving that crops are looking fine aa the result of the rain and farmers are buy ing freely. Especially la the good feeling evident to the Implement trade and the cancellation of orders on twin and har vester has been abruptly atopped and aome of the old order reinstated. What la characterised as the most auc ceasful trade excursion In the history of the Omaha Commercial club was made Into southeastern Nebraska Wednesday, Thurs rtoy and Friday of last week. It Is the gen eral opinion that the relations of the Omaha business men with their old customers have been etrengthened and that many new ftienda have been won. Cropa all along the line are aald to be looking the finest ever. Tha fall order btislnesa Is over In shoes, but aome ordere continue to arrive for sort ing up atocks. Aa a rule the ordra are for oxfords. The situation as regards price Is unchanged. House trnile for the week with hardware men was better than for some time, and road salesman did a good business.

Local dry goods houses irn ettln rendv to make the ahlpment of goods which have been ordered by dealera for the fall trude, and by the middle of thle week the ahlpmenta will be well under way. House trade Iihs been good. The jobbers say that uio unproved condition In the crop outlook Is responsible for an Increase of the retail trado In dry goods, and that the nroNnorta now for both wholesaler and retailer are very bright. The cotton market remalna strong, with practically no changes In quo- uiiioiis jrom lasi weeg. in spue or the fact that the jobbers are bending every effort to fill current orders, conditions are unsatisfactory In this respect, for the rea son that deliveries on aome lines of good from the factories are very poor. Drag; and Chemical Market. The drug business, generally speaking, la very quiet. Onleis are coming In for (mull quantitiea covering actual require ments. All leading staples are Blow ot aaW, but are steady lu price. There Is no disposition on the part of manufacturer or importers to force goods. Tho general nnpresaion prevails that many staple arti cles will be higher when rail trade opens, yuinlne la receiving a little more atten tion. The present price Invites anecula- tlun. Opium Is without any Important de mand; no change in price. American saf fron is again a trifle lower and is being offered at lrom $1.10 to $1.16. Blue vitriol remains firm at 7c In barrels; less quan tity, 8c to 10c. Short buchu leaves are higher.

The demand la limited and other articlea are being used wherever It la posalble In place of camphor. In putting away woolen goods ana fura for the summer a great many are uaing oil ot cedar. Others are uaing moth balls or naothallne. No advance haa been made In the sugar market in the last week, though higher prloea are expected to rule on that commo dity at any time. The advent of the pre serving aeason haa increased the demand largely and refiners are largely oversold. Prices are unchanged In coffee and tha markat la quiet, though nrm. Crop newa in general from Brazil Is to the effect that the yield Is considerably larger than last year, but local Jobber look on the situation there as a puszle and are waiting for some advice which can be considered authentic. Slae of th Rio Crop. The Brazilian, Review May 22 aya: "Ax to the alze of coming crop, very few peopio care to express an opinion. The effect thut the proapeot of valorization may have had upon planters, causing them to hold back supplies, makes people fel doubtful about the real sixe of the present crop, and, as a rule, the stlmate for a crop are based upon the one Immediately before It. In theae clrcumatanca one la dlapoaed to be very conservative about venturing an opin ion. The clrculara from consuming markats have a good deal to say about the discrep ancy between the estimate and outturn of the present crop, but It seems to us that they are not disposed to give sufficient weight to what la said In aome quarters about coffee being held back In the In terior."
