COL. FUNSTON'S OPINION Of tho FlHplnoH?Tho Gallant Kannnn Says Tlicy Must bo 3Iailc "Good The Topoka, Kansas, Capital prints this letter dated March 17, from Col. Funston, of tho Twentieth Kansas Volunteer*, who was promoted by the President on '.Monday of this week, for heroic conduct, to the rank of brigadier general: "We are now anxiously awaiting the arrival of papers from home, published since tho outbreak, In order that we m.iy see what news our folks have been furnhhed with. The regiment fought splendidly and effectively, and In each one of the three attacks It . has made, carried everything before It. It has undoubtedly ocqulred tho best reputation of any regiment here for line fighting. The boys go for the enemy as If they were chasing jncjc-ranous. it is a nascy sort of war?one of ambushes and surpri.?os. So far two officers, Cnpt. Elliot end Lleutp.nnnt Alford, have been killed. and with them ten enlisted men, while two officers and thirty-four enllftt'rt men have been Wounded; but the worst of it is that the ctid is not yet," ornl man?," and many a. Kansas home will be darkened before we see the end of this sorry business. That is the sad, dismissing' part of it. "This is different business from seeing Cubans killed. But how gloriously *hrse countrymen of ours fight! When I toll tHem to charge, which I have three times, the trouble has been not to got thorn to come on, but to keep from getting run over by them. We are at present occupying the trenches at Caloocan. three miles north of Manila, the extreme left of the cordon of trenches fifteen miles long that protect the land 6lde of Manila. "The insurgents are close In on our front, quite well Intrenched, and there is some bloody business ahead when we advance. But that wJlJ happen long before this reaches you; In fact, we are expecting it in a few days, "It would tak^ a great: prophet to even guess how long" this-thing will Inst. It may be that the leaders, discouraged by their recent severe defeat5?, will Rive up. or It may be that they'will for years maintain a guerrilla warfare. "I -am afraid that wme people at home will lie awake nights worrying about the ethics of this, war, xhlnklns that our enemy Is fighting for the right of self-government, etc. The word 'indepen'l^nce.' which these people roll over their tongues so glibly, is to them n word and not much more. "It means simply with them license to raise hell, and if they got control they would raise n fine crop of It. It 19 true that they have a certain number of educated leaders?educated, however. about the same way a parrot Js. "They are, as a rule, an illiterate, semi-savage people, who are waging wnr cot against tyranny, but against Anplo-Snxon order and decency. Their whole conduct during the several months preceding the outbreak was one of insufferable arrogance and egotism. They were swollen up by the fact that our people made too much of them at first. I. for one. hope that Uncle Sam will apply the chastening rod good, hard nnd plenty and lay it on until they come in to the reservation and promise to be good 'Injuns.'" Temperance in England. For about three months after my arrival in London I could rot get warm. I knew that the people put on heavy clothes, and took a great deal of exercise In lieu of heating their houses as we do; but the thickest clothes did not suiT.ce. and only a few Americans know lioiv to work at athletics and business at the same time, so that I shivered by night and by day, nnd was made almost 111 with the cold. I said so to my banker?the soberest, most orderly of "liow much whiskey do you drink?" he asked. I had not been drinking any. "Good heavens, man!" he exclaimed. "Come with me." He took me to the ac-arest public house and ordered a fc.'nss of Scotch whiskey for me. "There," said he-, "nevnr let the middle of an afternoon pass without your having had a glass of spirits. Take another before you go to bed. Others may prescribe a greater quantity, and you must be the judge of your own requirements, but, mark me, you take two drinks a day as I have advised, or you'll be 111; Indeed. I shouldn't wonder if you died. It is impossible to live in this climate without stimulants." The drunkenness that results* from the strain of the debilitating climate is wort": than shocking to a stranger. The crowd's In the gin-palaces, the preponderance of poor women in the mass of drinkers, th? drunkenness of women, and the fact that liquor, which renders men sodden, seems to make women crazy?-these, with the bedlam In the streets at th- closing-time of the tavern* each night, are ail as noteworthy, though not as nice, as the eating Inblts of th^ people. These same London poor beat their wives. No one will deny it. At least, they boat them, or fight with them, or get beaten by them?according to the distribution of strength in each married couple. The refrain of the policecourt chorus every day demonstrates ho v much rum leads to finhtlng In the home*.

DR. BR1GGS' ORDINATION Episcopal Clcrfcymon Threaten Changes of Heresy Against him. New York Times: Bishop Potter is still deliberating upon the question of the ordination of Dr. BrlRgi as a priest of the Protestant Episcopal church. And while the bishop deliberates, the discussion of the question spreads and Increases in*Intensity. It Is generally thought that there Is no doubt that the bishop Is willing to ordain the author of the famous and controversy-stirring book, "General Introduction to the Study of the Holy Scriptures.-' Ills action In notifying the Rev. Dr. P. M. Clendenln, of St. Peter's, Westchester, that- the ordination services would be performed In the la tter'a church is considered as committing hltn completely to this position. The offer of Grace church by Dr. Huntington for these services was declined bv the bishop merely because he hod In mind at that time St. Peter's,Westchester, for this purpose. SIrt-na thle fist"T">-- ? In, several questions have arisen that more or les3 affect the situation. Dr. Clendenln's request that tho ordination services bo not performed in his church has been granted by the bishop. It "is now thought likely that Dr. Huntington's offer of Grace church may be accepted. The objections of Dr. Clendenln have resulted, however, la Increasing the vigor and scope of the controversy. The doctor said yesterday that every mail brings him letters from clergymen and laymen protesting against the ordination of Dr. Briggs and sustaining him in the position he has token. One of these, from a clergyman, 6ald that he could not understand why Dr. Briggs should want to enter the priesthood of a church that professes beliefs that he publicly stouts. It Is quite probable thnt either Dr. CJendenln or some of those who agree with his views will prefer charges of heresy against Dr. Briggs If he insists upon being ordained. Dr. Briggs has said that he is not particular about ordination, as he can, ?vs a deacon In the Protestant Episcopal church, teach and preach as he may desire. This position of the doctor may settle the controversy in its present stage, without having it run to dangerous length. Dr. Clendenln said yesterday that the opposition has strong hope that Dr. Briggs will himself solve the problem he has raised by withdraw Ins his request for ordination. It seems likely that Dr. Brlggs may rest content with what he has obtained In the way of recognition by the Protestant Episcopal church, and ask Bishop Potter to consider his request to enter the priesthood as withdrawn. Dr. Brlggs may also go to Europe soon, and in this way let the controversy die out for-want of fuel. Keccnt Charters Iscned. Special Dispatch to tho Intelligencer. CHARLESTON. W. Vn_, May 3.?

The early trading continued the strength of yesterday's closing but realizing and sales on the theory that the recovery had been too rapid took the snap out of the market. The weakness of the coalers was on heavy sales by a prominent holder who had been carrying a Inner linn nf thoan nrnnwdn,, r-,1 ? - - n polntment was expressed In some quartera that no announcemer>t was forthcoming concerning a coal deal now that the New Jersey legislature has been ail- , Journed for some time. Tho steel and ^ wire stocks displayed firmness on tho belief that negotiations were pending r to consolidate a number of these prop- ? crtles. Although nothing positive as to c the details could be learned It was said u that a capitalization of over half a bll- J lion dollars was contemplated.
