"WHAT SHALL WE DO IX THIS
STATE OF THE CASE?
General Otis arrived at San Francisco
from the Phlllpptae Island a week back,
and af:er being held in quarantlne some
days he was released. On reaching the
ci:y he talked -luiie frecly of conditions
in Uie Philippines. aad is thus quoted in
the _ele_r_p_lc despalcbes:
ln response to a request that he make
a statement of tbe situation in the I'hil
ipptaes General Otis said that while it
wouid give him great pleasure lo comply
wiih tbe request he was constralned to
decline, inr the reason that such acUon,
in his judgment, wouid be Inconslsti nt
with [his duty as an officer of Uie army.
Asked what wouid be the effeet on the
war if th? report of Aguinaldo's death
were true. General Oils said that the war
lollowers were deserttas him fact, and
those who nav ramaln with bbn are n n
erally of tbe low< r clriss,
Mo.-t of As-inaldo"- officers have l'< ft
bbn, General Otis said, though some .-till
remain in much with him. Some of those
wht hav< left hbn are now engaged ln
business ta Manila, and others ,n-e hidlng
bi the mountai-s. Many of his clo.-.-si
foUowers are friendly i iward the United
States, and aj oon as the natlves In gen?
eral _a_a ccniiden ? ta ;..?? friendly oflices
of the Azn-rlca?s I lere R'ould be, In Gen?
eral Otis* oplnion^ little difliculty in bring
1:il- them to terms .\^^^t?.l as to the coni
mercial vaiue ol tbe islands, tbe General
said that they were vastly rich. espeeially
ln hetnp, sugar aad tobacco. and :ll^.t as
BOon as tii-.- situation became more quiet
business of ail kinds -.vouia increase tre
mcndously.
General Otis wouid not say whether or
n .: he favored the r?-tenti >n of t :e i.-lands
by this country. ln response to such a
Query he replied:
"We have goi them now. What are we
to do about it?"
Regarding the number of troops.and the
condition of the soidiers, General Otis
wild:
"There are 55,000 effective troops scat?
tered among the islands now engaged in
the protectlon of tbe people from Kuerrilla
warXare. which ls r-anpanl in some sec
lions. Th-- mi neral health of the troops
ls e_oee_ingly good. the peroentage of tin
sick for April being but W per cent. Anierw
cans can stand tbe clianate better than
Flliplnos, and espeeially during ihe rainy
season did their health Jmrtress me. The
men are bccomlng accHmated, and thoush
ii may become necessary to .-end out relief
troops at rhncs, it will hardly be necessary
to send soidiers very frequently."
General Oiis said that his own health
was excllen; and that the ocean trip had
ilone hbn a world of good. He left for
Washington at nlgbt and will report to
Uie President at once.
Tiiis is very close to an official state?
ment. Indeed, we may assume that Gen?
eral OUs will make- the same statement,
in sub.-ta-ice. to the President as his re?
port upon conditions in the Phlllplnes.
General Otis' statements cannot be
hrnored. He was the official head of this
Bovernment's operations for the two years
he has been ln tae Islands, and althoush
he was te::ainiy not popular with tlie
drf-ans who went there from this coun?
try. there is no reason whatever for cues
tion-lng bis abillty to judge intelligently of
existing conditions, nor is there any to
qnes-lon his fairness in reporting upon
them.
ln view of this oflieial statement of the
actual facts, what are we going to do
-.boul it V Are we now to witiidrawn our
forces and allow all our time, blood and
money to be thrown away?
The fact is that it is inii>ossil>!e at this
time for any man or any set of men to
outline any deSnlte poilcy 'towards the
PhHipplnes. I_jok at the situation in
China K>-d.:y. Who can say what the out
come of this Jispute will te? The whole
-Jastern question, so-called, is in a tansle.
and if there Js to be a war, the United
States wiil have interests that must be
piotected.
God forb'id that there should be war, and
if so, God (Torhid that our gcvemment
tiUHiU be drawn hito it. But if the worst
shuuld come, -the P;iiii{ipines wouid be of
liutlit-silable vaiue to us, and wouid give
us a grus-p upcra the situation that Avould
be impossible without them.
Tliis is a practical question and must
be dealt with la a practical way.
UltOTHKli JA-PEK AGAIN.
Our csteemed contemporary, the New
pwt Ncwa Uerajd^ tay. that no man bt
this age. white or black, ever obtained so
much notoriety or so littlo a merit as the
Rev. John Jasper, of Ulehmond. *
Our contemporary does not mean to be
unkind, ;>ut knowing the old man as we
do the paragraph seems to us a bit harsh.
Rev. J.hn Ja*per is not without merlt,
and It is but fair to eay In his behalf that
ho hi; r.ot sought notoriety. The oid man
i; :.-:; st ..:: 1 iincere, and his faith !n God
.,,;; ;'. ? Bi'j'.e is impiicit. Some time ago
v..- -at with him i:i his unpretentious little
, , ? :; ;;.: ? .. ly ;;nd heard him discourse
, . . ..:.d tlie Bible. He said that
;. : (b-it Uie sun moved because
t;, . ; . : : ; . i. and that ::o man, scien
? ? i o ii ...'? be. would ever convincc
him -. ..? :: su: d!d not move until he
: :. .-.) ;i:j-. God's Word was un
trae. Ho E_ld that he had been preachlng
"-..- Word of Gj.1 for sixty-or.c years, and
thit he would die with that Book in his
hand. He expr .-.- .1 the greatest indigna
tioa n: the scicntillc men who had tried
lo make i; appear, as he put it. that he
- for saying that
d that he had no
wspapcrs, that he
was not seeking notoriety, and his mission
n iw, as il iiad bi.cn for sixty-one years,
was to .- iv: men's sculs. "But," he added
with dlgniiy and with a .show of resent
ment and .k-alousy for his God that would
have done credit to one of the old pro
pbet-, "wlien these men tried to contra
dict me l'jiist took down the Word of God
and showed that they and not John Jaspc-r
wero tho liars."
The earaest man in all ages has com
mir.ded the attention of the p opie. Kev.
John Jasper is not an educated man, but
he knows the Bi'oile and he takes it liter
ally, and lie beiieves in it with all liis
heart He has found in the Bible cxpres
sions that conviiiLed him that the sun
moved, and he has proclaimed his beiief
with the courage of a man whose faith is
fixed. If John Jasper had simply been
seeking notoriety the newspapers would
have dropped him very soo::. 3t is his
honest conviction, his sincerity, his faith
rathcr than his solar theory that have
made him prominent and kept him before
tho pubiic for so many years. There is a
lesson ln the life of Itev. John Jasper tiiat
men in all stations of life may study to
their prolit."
GI.NCIM- I'ATl-lOTISIU.
In a report recently published in a Xew
York contemporary of the return of the
big twin screw White Star Steamship
Cymrie. who took to Cape Town 3,500 men
and 400 horses at one time, it was stated
that on her second trip to the Cape the
Cymrie carried the Imperial Yeomanry of
Engiand. This organization was composed
of volunteers for the war from a ciass of
people very different from those that
usually enlist as privates in the Bnglish
army. ".Some of the men in the ranks,"
said the report, "were of more social
promlnence and had more money than the
oillcers. One of the sentinels outside of
the chief oflieer's door had an income of
$70,000 a year."
We regard this incident of the South
African war as one of the most crcditable
to English patriotism that that great trial
has developed- It shows that there has
been no decay in English manhood and
that when their eountry really iieeds their
services the English gentieinan will be as
free to volunteer as a private as were the
educated and wealthy gentlemen of the
South in '61. If any people can show an
order of patriotism equal to that of the
Southern people in 1S61, they are entitled
to the highest meed of praise and to the
greatest confidence in tiieir manhood.
PUOGKESS AM) l.DUCATION.
The proposal to establish an industrial
university in the South suggests a line of
thought. Progress and education go hand
in hand. In proportion to population and
wealth the South has always been ahead
of the Xorth in the number and in the
patronase of her pubiic institutions of
learning. Before the war the South was
an agricuitural community, and her white
population was comparatively smail, but
her colicges were equal to the best, and
the Dniversity of Virginia was conceded to
be the most thorough school in the land.
These claims can be established by the
figures, but statistics are proverbially dry,
and we simply state tho Tact.
Since tlie liberation of the slaves there
has come a great industrial revolution
throughout the South. The Souili is no
longer strictly an agricuitural community,
but ls rapidly becoming the great manu?
facturing section of the eountry. The hum
of maehinery is to be heard everywhere,
cotton factories have sprung up in ihe
cotton field, and the smoke from coke
ovens and blast furnaces and rolling mills
attest the fact that the South has turned
its attention to manufacturing. The mil
iionaire is a new product in the South, but
through the manufacturing industry and
through other media incldental to South?
ern progress millionaires here and there
throughout the Southern States have
sprung up. These millionaires, however,
are not a menace to tlie South. They have
turned tiieir money to good account. They
have given employment to thousands and
thousands of people. They have helped to
build up their respective communitics. and
in addition to all this have contributed lib
erally towards the cause of education.
Clemson College, in South Carolina; Trini?
ty College, in Xorth Carolina; the Union
Theological Seminary, in Richmond, and
other such institutions are monuments to
the liberality of our modern millionaires in
the South. We beiieve that this is but the
beginning of greater things. As the South
prospers, as her men accumulate riches,
the cause of education will also prosper.
The wealth of the South will be turned to
good account. The counting house will be
as the haudmaiden of the school and the
church.

The Xew York Journal of Commerce
concludes a thoughtful article on the iron
industrv in the follow
ThcOutlooU - lugwords
"When we cons'der the
enormous iner.-ase in consumption in this
eountry as Indicated by the increased
production in lifteen years, and the vast
diffcrence between the per capita con?
sumption in this eountry and in cour.tries
so highly developed Industrial'.y as
France and Austria-llungary, it is evi
dent that the consumption of iron is an
clastlc quantity whose limits it is idle to
estimate. The per capita consumption
of iron may be cxpected to* go on in-"
creasing in this eountry, and even to go on
increasng rapidly; but what has happen
ed ln the past few months is that the
production and the price of iron have
incr-as-ng out of proporUou to other
things, and that more or less of equaliza
Uon must occur.
"But if the consumption is to be in?
creased materially the price must decline.
The reiative price of iron to other things
may undergo some ehange, but it cannot
undergo a large increase without check
ing consumption. Therefore, in lookins
into the future the cost of production ln
the several countries Is of vital impor
tance. Acouple of years ago the English
"Iron Trades Review" gave the following
as the cost of prcducing pig iron in
several countries, including ore, fuol,
limestone. labor and sundrjes, but not in?
cluding the capital account:
United States .?1 17s Cd
Spain . llSs6d
'trcat Britain . 2 9s 6d
Germany . 2 12s 3d
lt. g:um . 213S Od
France . 2 17s ,a
"However it tnay be in other countries,
the iron trade in t'ne United States. with
enormous supplies of ore and fuel at hand
and a most ecmomica! labir system, can
cor.tempiate the competition of the future
with equanimity."
Iron has been too high and the iron
forkers have been making prolits ihat
they could not reasonably hope to con?
tinue indefinlte'y. But the iron industry
oi' this eountry is ail right, and as the
Journal of Commerce says, the trade can
contemplate the competition of the
future with c-quanimity.

In his sermon in Louisville on Sunday
3ast, Rev. J. William Jones said:
"I do not beiieve that
An Army of army-not Cromwell
and his Roundheads, noij,
the Crusaders, nor any other?ever had
in it as iarge proportlon of hutnblc,
earhest, active Christian men as were
found among the rank and file of the
Confederate Army. Scarcely a com?
pany went to the front that there were
not religious services connected with its
dc-parture, and a copy of God's Word was
considered an essenfial part of the equip?
ment of every soldier. In the company
from Georgia there were ilfty members
from the same church. I never witnessed
such eagcr.ic-ss to hear the Gospel as was
manifested by the rank and file of our
soldiers?yes, by the oflicers, too. Let it
be announced that religious services
would be held up yonder under that tree,
a few taps of the drum, a few biasts of
the bugie wcuid serve to bring them
from every quarter to hear the Gospel. In
some of those marches of Jackson's,
when we would get an order to move at
early dawn (the boys used to say that
old Jack always moved at early dawn
except when he started .tlie night before),
after pressing forward all day, as the
siiades of evening would gather upon
the Blue Ridge, some of the men would
fall out of ranks and could go no further,
when presently the word would pass
down the line, 'We are going Into camp.'
and upon some green sward on the banks
of the clear and beautiful Rappahan
nock, with the blue canopy of heaven for
our covering, and rocks for our pillows,
w;e would lay us down to rest; but be?
fore the bivouac is quiet for the night
notice is given that there is going to be
a service, and as the first verse of a
hymn is sung they gather from every di?
rection, and as the earnest prayer is
made something on the soldier's cheek
washes off the stain of powder."

A Sample Copy of the Parisian Dream
City FI.EE for Exaininatioii.
The Times has arranged to carry its
readers through the Paris Exposition on a
twenty weeks' journey at ten cents per

by the wonderful advance in the photo
grapher's art and modern methods of ph_
tographlc printing. Our journey is the
next best thing to a personal visit. It is
compri.-ed in Twenty Phjtographlc Fort
folios of sixteen S by 10 photographs each.
and we will send by mail only to any city
or eountry address sample of Xumber One
to every reader on receipt of two two-cer.t
stamps (four cents). We have arranged
to give away one thousand samples on th:s
liberal basis, beiicving that when they are

tions which we make. This proposition of
. Free Initial Xumber will be cpen just one
week. We delivered to the readers of Too
Times several thousand copies of the
World's Fair portfoiios, entitlcd "The
Lream City," and the present enterprise
is in line with that work. but with great
ly improved art and beauty. It will enable
every one to see at his home exactly wha:
the visitor sees at Paris. Send 4 cents in
stamps to cover cost of mailing this sam

warded.
THE ARGUMENT
IN RIDDICK CASE
(Continued from First Page.)
a brief review of the important features
ol" the evidence. and asked for a verdict
of murder in the tirst degree.
FOR THE DEFE'XCE.
Colonel Meade Hasklns was t'ne first
speaker for tlie defence. He started out
in a calm and dciiberate manner, but as
he progresaed hc warmed up and delivered
himself of some vigorous and Iforceful
statements.
The Colonel', after co.nplimenting Mr.
Saunders for his ability, said it was still
a mvstery to him why the eminent
Speaker of the House s.iuuid have been
?brought here to assist the competent, effi
cient and able Commonwealth s Attorney.
if Mr. Saunders had come to defend the
character of Dr. Temple, he had found
himself without an occupation, for the
character of that gentleman was untar
nished.
After telling of how two families had
been plunged into the deepest grief, Col?
onel Haskins plunged into a discossion of
the evidence and replied to the argumeiits
advanced by Mr. Saunders. He said no
man could be convicted of murder ln tne
tirst degree without the proof of rnalice
aforethought. Malice had not been proven.
The twhoie of the testimony tended to
show that Dr. Temple and Mr. Riddick
were the best of friends.
EXPERT TEST1MOXY.
The Colonel took up the most important
features of the case and dwelt upon chem.
He impressed upon the jury the fact that
men known far and wide for their knowl
edge of diseases of the mind had declared
Riddick to be insane. The fact that neigh?
bors of the prisoner had never seen hrm
do anything they could construe as evi
dences of insanity might be .all true, and
yet amount to but little. The expert had
testifled and medical books teach that this
form of insanity may siiddenly manit.st
itsolf in the most violent forms.
The Colonel closed with a powerful ap?
peal for his client. He spoke about-an
hour and a quarter and evidently made a
gcod impression upon the jury.
It was decided to convene the court at
S o'clock in tho morning. Mr. Goode will
be the first spaker, followed by 3I-.-ss.-s.
Foage and Davis, all for the defence, and
Mr. Buford will cicse for the Common?
wealth.
It is possible the case may reach the
jury to-morrow night. P. R. X.

friends I have. I go bac-k to England to
day richer by thousands in friends than I
ever was before. In the unpleasant ex
perienccs through which I passed recently
I was really kept up by the receipt of hun
dreds of messages of sympathy, m ny >f
which came from people who were almost
or quite unknown to me, and many others
from pcopie whom I had not considered
as friends up to that time. I do not regard
what took place as an evidence of the
attitude of the American pubiic toward
me, but merely as an unpleasant occur?
rence of which we must all have our
share as we go through life."

SAUNDERS BEING B00MED.
His Friends Want Him to Preside Over
tbe Cnnveution.
There is a very strong s-ntiment
among the admirers of Hon. E. W. San -
d'ers, Spcaker of the House of I
gates, in favor of that gentleman f *r
president ot" tho coming Constttutluna!
Convention.
It is not known that Mr. Saund i
be an asplrant for the honor. but his
friends are very anxious to see him in
tho chair or" that distinguished body.
They point out that he has a re
ability in wieldlng the gavel over detlbera
tlve bodies possessed by but few men ln
the State, and say that no man in Vir?
ginia is better fitted, by reason of his ex
perience and--thorough knowledge of al!
tho Intricacies of parliamentary law. to
fill that high place than Mr. Si
Besides his eminf-ntlv satlsfactory rullngs
in the House. the Speaker's friends point
to the ability with which ho dispensed
the business of the- last two State
ventions, one of which, at least. was at
times exceedingly turbulent.
. Since the determination of Governor
Tyler not to call the Legislature in extra
session until after. the November elec?
tions, a great many leading Democrats
are of opinion that it should be called
some time about the middle of November,
so that the work may be complete..! be?
fore the Ohristmas holidays, and the
campaign opened in the early spring.
It is tftought that the Governor lo >ks
favorably upon a November session, and
it is very probable that he will pursue
that course.
His announcement that he wouid not
call an extra session in July has been
favorably commented upon by some of
the wisest and most conservative party
leaders in the State, and. in fact, seems
to have given very general satisfaction.
It is said that Colonel Jo3eph Button.
clerk of the Senate and secretary of the
State Democratic Committee, will very
probably be a candidate for secretary of
the- Constitutional Convention.
A close friend of William Henry Mann
said yesterday that it was not at all
unlikely that. the popular clerk of the
House of Delegates wouid also a3p!re to
the position.
Either of the gentlemen wouid fi!l the
office ad'mirably, having had long and
valuable experience in. that line.
Death Fi-om BC<?inorrhaffc.
A negro porter, nam,\! Daniel Fowler,

The city ambulance was summoned, but
the man died before it arrived. Coroher
