The President was followed by Governor IcSwteny, who prefaced hl prepared FjTh by a few wonU in which he assured the President that he was as safe from l'lily harm hi Sotith Carolina us he was In Washington. Continuing, he said: " 'Th- Anclo-S.ixon is entering the new century with th imperial crown of the ages on Iiis brow and the sceptre of the Infinite in his hands. The old South fought against the Mrs in their rn'mrsps-th resisting tide of the rising consciousness of J)ati -liIity and world mission. The young South greets the new era and glories in its naniifl. He joins his vol in the cheers of triumph which are ushering In this allconquering Saxon. Our ild men dreamed of local supremacy. We rtram of the contjf't of the plot". Threads of steel have knit State to State. Steam and electricity have- silently transformed the face of the earth, annihilating time and spice, and swept the orean harriers fp-m the i.ith of man. The black steam shuttles of commerce have woven continent 'to continent.' "These words are taken from a speech mau'j at a momentous crisis in the history of n sister State. ivil liberty und religious freedom have beeji placed in our keepins; ss a trust, and it is our duty to be la it hf ul to that trust and move on ami Upward until äll the. peonies of all lands fhall enjoy the Fame blessings which are ours. Thread of steel have indeed knit us close together, and now we know no North and no South, no East and no West, but hand in hand we are striving for the uplifting and betterment f mankind. "I want to fay, and in the presence of the President of the United States, that, while we may not agree on many questions of policy, we are all American citizens, and the boys of the South will respond to the call of their country, which is the call of duty, as quickly and readily as those of any other section. When, four years ago, America 'let slip the dogs of war' and sent her armies and navl-.s to drive the tyrant from Cuba's wafted chores, together. in the gloom of the gory trenches ami the ramparts wrapped in flame, stood the sons of the frozen North, who wore the blue, with those of the sunny South, who wore the Kray, to defend the honor of their common country. Sine by side and shoulder to shoulder they fought, till the broken hand of Spain In the Western 9'orld attested the fact that the men who made and withstood Pickett's charge at Gettysburg could clasp hands over the graves of their fallen heroes and together shed their blood in defense of human rights and their country's cause. It was a Southern boy who first planted the stars and stripes on foreign soil; it was" a Southern boy who first gave up his fair oung life in this cause, and the old. still frm of Ensign Bagley, wrapped about with the silken folds of his country's flag, was laid to rest m!d the lamentations of a reunited people. And in te self-same sepulchres where lie the bravs who give their lives in that confilet is buried the last remnant of antagonism which might have existed between the sections. "I am glad that President Roosevelt has come to this grand old city, that lie may see find know us as we are; that he may know ond realize that, though we may not agree in politics, we know how to welcome the President of our common country; that he may know and appreciate what Southern hospitality means, and right here In Chprleston he will find the highest type f this old-time Southern hospitality. We hope that his coming will be beneficial to all of us." Captain Wagener. Governor Ay cock, of North Carolina, and several others made short addresses. It was midnight when the party broke up, and as the President left the, room he was cheered to the echo, not only by those who had attended the banquet, but by the large numbers who had patiently waited in the hotel parlors and outside to catch a glimpse of him. Upon Arriving at his hotel he immediately retired. a it it iv Ai, At :iiahli-:sto. 5The rrcaldent Enjoy n Trip About the Harbor on n Cutter. CHARLESTON. S. C.

The rarty did ont come Into' the city, but left the train five miles out, where trolley cars were waiting to convey them to the naval station to take the revenue cutter for a tour of the harbor.

Company sent r. pilot engine ahead of the President's special. Kvcry detail of the trip was carried out und.r the direction of Od. I. S. Hrown. prneral aeent. who accompanied the party from Washington. The President and Mrs. Roosev-lt were early risers, and welcomed the sunshine, an it made It rossible to carry out the programme which had been arranged for the entertainment of the visitors. The President retired early last nis;ht, before the State line of North Carolina was reached. At Summittville. twenty-two miles from Charleston, the party was nut by .1 special committee headed by Mayor Srr.ythe, Capt. T. V. Warner, president of the exposition, and J. J. Hemphill, who accompanied the President on the remainder ( f the journey. All Charleston was up and rut this rr.ornlris to do honor to the President, ai'd from the time of his arrival within the corporate limits of the city to boarding the steamer it was a .continuous ovation. On arrival hrre the President's immediate party went directly to the naval station where they were joined In a few moments by members of the reception committee and invited fiuests from the city. A Ruartl of thirty militiamen was stationed about the approaches to the train and stooj at present arms as the president landed. At the naval station lifty militiamen were posted, making picket lines about the reservation, and none was allowed within the lines except such as had special passes. The President and his party were shown about the station and then were conducted to the pier where the revenue cutter Algonquin was in waiting. As the President set foot on the deck the flag of the commander-in-chief of the army and navy was ral.-ed and the jackies were paraded while a salute of twenty-one puns was fired. In the stream the cutters Forward and Hamilton wen lying and further down towards the city the cruiser Cincinnati and the training ships Topeka and Lancaster. After the committee and guests had pom? aboard the Algonejuln started on a tour of the harbor. Passing down Cooper river, a line view of the city and the opening of the bay was presented. The weather was perfect. There was not a cloud in the sky, anl a gentle breeze blew from the ocean with just a bracing touch in It, not chill enough to require overcoats. Passing into the bay, the Algnquln came abreast of the cruiser Cincinnati, whoso decks were manned with all her crew, as well as the Topeka and Iancaster. As the President's vessel passed each vessel fired a salute of twenty-one guns. Off the fortltications of Sullivan's Island the Algonquin was greeted with the same welcome, and she passed to the ocean with gay streamers amid a chorus of guns. Just a little run to the sea, and the Algonquin turned about and re-entered the harbor, passing around historic Port Sumter. While steaming up the bay luncheon was served in the cabin of the cutter. A short run was made up the Ashley river, giving a view of the city's western water front, and then the ship was headed back for the landing, where a troop of the Charleston Light Dragoons was In waiting to escort the President to his headquarters at the St. John's Hotel. All the arrangements were excellent and there was- not a break in the programme. The President seemeel In high spirits ami entered with keen zest into all the features of the occasion. The President, accompanied by a few of his party and members of the reception committee, boarded a small steamer and came alongside the revenue cutter and was taken over to Fort Sumter, a company of artillery was standing at "attention" when the President landed and immediately went through a gun drill, the immense twelve-inch disappearing guns being manipulate! In a manner to excite the admiration of all. A tour was then made through the fort. A small hurricane was blowing at the time and although the President was wearing a soft hat it was caught and went soaring Into the air, the President making a, vain' effort to catch it. Private Frederick Dent, of the Artillery Corps, came to the rescue and ejuickly recovered it. President Roosevelt grasped him by the hand ind thanked him most cordially. He also complimented the men on their expert handling of the guns. l.'pon arriving at the wharf the President, escorted by a troop of cavalry, vas lriven to the residence of Andrew Simrronds, where an informal reception was held and a buffet lunch served, after which the party was escorted to the St. Johns Hotel and a brief rest taken, preparatory to attending the banejuet at the Charleston Hotel. To-morrow at 10 o'clock the parade will move to the exposition grounds, where the formal ceremonies will tie held and the President will present a sword to Major Micah Jenkins. To-morrow afternoon the President's party will go to Summerville and will spend Thursday there inspecting the tea gardens. A great crowd of people is in the city and much . enthusiasm was shown at the presence of the President. Governor McSweeney is here and Governor Aycoek. of North Carolina, is expected this evening.

Their Iuty to Mankind, lie Aertf la to Teach Filipino Onr Ideni of Government. WASHINGTON. April S. General MacArthur to-day continued his testimony concerning the conditions in . the Philippine archipelago before the Senate committee on the Philippines. His discussion at the beginning of the session was devoted to a review of the conditions which led up to the present state of mind of the Filipino people. He said that long before the advent of the Americans the germs of democracy had been planted and that these had eriginated in the agitations in Spain of a century ago which had been reflected in the Spanish colonies. He also described the conditions in the archipelago at the time of the American occupation, saying at that time the Filipinos were in a vindictive and resentful mood toward Spain, with a general yearning for liberty. Taking these psychological conditions Into account, and also giving due heed to the character of the people he had felt, when he assumed command of the islands, that there was to be some of the most fertile soil for planting the best type of republican institutions. General MacArthur took up and discussed economic conditions in the archipelago, saying they arc the finest group of islands In the world, Occupylng a strategic position absolutely unexcelled. Continuing, he said that the archipelago must necessarily exert an active and potential influence on the affairs of the entire East in both a military and political way. The China sea, only 751 miles away, he considered a safety moat. These islands would, therefore, stand to protect our interests in the Orient without the exertion of much physical power on our part. Hence he concluded that our presence In the Philippines would always Insure all the protection we need in the East and no one can now say how great these needs may be. Their position is such, ije said, that from these Islands we may observe whatever passes along the coast of Asia, as U must pass under the shadow of our flag. He therefore concluded that "the possession, the permanent possession of the Philippines archipelago is not only of supreme importance, but absolutely essential to American interests." He believed, he added, that when the Filipinos come to realize the mission of the American people among them, and that they were a chosen people for the dissemination of American ideas, they wouIU rally to this inspiring thought and cheerfully follow and support the American Hag. Continuing, General MacArthur grew eloquent in describing the mission of the Americans. Our presence in the islands, he said, was. to his mind, a process of spontaneous evolution, and ridded that he believed a permanent occupation was a necessary consequence, the logical sequence of our national prosperity, and. he added, that to doubt this is to doubt the wisdom of our institutions. We should, he went on, regard ourselves as a people as the custodians of an imperishable Idea, held in trust for mankind, and we would proclaim this message to the world. He also expressed the opinion that the Filipinos could be rapidly organized into political bodies and said they were eager to secure educational facilities. He said that because of his opinion that the Philippines afford splendid opportunities for the dissemination of American ideas. He had decideel when he assumed command at Manila to conduct military operations with a drastic hand, while he at the same time tried to give them the most enlightened civil government wherever opportunity afforded. Concerning the conduct of the war In the Philippines he said that while it was war. he doubted whether if any war of modern times had been conducted with as much humanity and self-restraint as this war had been. In this connection Senator Lodge asked a number of questions bearing upon the reports of cruelties practlceel by American soldiers, to which the witness replied that, while there doubtless had been instances of excesses, the general conduct on the part of our troops had been of an opposite character, as the general orders had been. Moreover, all violations of the rules of wAr had been instantly punished. Replying to questions by Senator Carmack, he said that the Filipinos like our American ideas of personal liberty, as embodied in our institutions. "This," he said, "realizes an Ideal of their own." "Then they have an ideal?" interjected Senator Carmack. The reply ws: "They have, most decidedly." "You do not, then, regard them as a miserable, corrupt, cruel and degraded race? "Hy no means. Such a view is, to my mind, a mistaken view." Senator Carmack also asked about the exploitation of the material resources of the Islands and General MacArthur replied that one of the great apprehensions of the people was that they might be deprived of these resources, and thus relegated to a position of social inferiority In the islands. On this point, he said, they were very sensitive. They did not. he said, care so much for their treatment outside the Islands, but were very particular on the point of social equality when in their own country. In reply to a question from Senator Culberson General MacArthur declined to institute a comparison between the Filipinos and the American negro. "The Filipinos are rretty good people," he said, "but I have never had occasion to compare them with other people, and I don't want to attempt such a comparison, which might be unjust to both." "Do you not think." Senator Carmack asked, "that the Filipinos ought to have a voice in their governmental affairs, where they have to do with franchises and concessions?" "That question Is somewhat hypothetical" replied General MacArthur. "We are approximating that condition now. I would, however, like to see the Filipinos pretty well represented In their central government, and I should like to see the question of franchises, except for railroads, held In abeyance until the evolution proceeds further." The committee adjourned until Thursday. PROGRESS I THE PHILIPPINES. Indiana Soldier Speaka of the Cond Work Done by the Americana. Special to the In-lianapnlls Journal. FORT WAYNE. Ind.. April 8. Capt. Ivers W. lAonard, of the Thirty-second United States Infantry. Is home for a three months furlough, after spending three years In the Philippines, during which time he did not see his wife or three children. One of them. In fact, was be.rn after he had sailed for the scene of his duties. He had risen to the. rank of captain In the Indiana National Guard when the SpanishAmerican war begin, and after its close he was appointed second lieutenant In the regular army. The President recently sent to the Senate his nomination to the rank of captain "for distinguished gallantry in action at Mallnta. Luzon, on March 2i'., lv.y.V After his furlough expires he will rejoin his regiment at Fort Crook. Neb., to which point he will remove his family. When ejuestloned about the state of the war and the future of the Philippines he said: "There haa been a most decided improvement in tho conditions at peace iu the
islands, more noticeable, perhaps, a year ago than In the few months just prior to my departure from the islands. The Filipinos are, however, far from being tit to govern themselves. One must recall that they will have to undergo a most radical change in all their ideas. The Filipino conception of Independence means license to do as he pleases, according to his strength and means. They have no other ideas of government than those gained from the centuries of Spanish misrule and plunder. Should the American troops bo withdrawn there would follow a war of extermination among themselves, meaning not a survival of the fittest, but of the strongest. With the development, however, of the present work of pacification and material welfare It will be our fault if within the next twenty years the islands are not absolutely orderly, contented and blossoming as the rot-e. Where before our occupation there were no schools in nine-tenths of the provinces there are now schools everywhere, and the natives have already acquired ability to express themselves In English as weli as most of them were able to do before in Spanish, thouch that had been the official language for centuries. "Perhaps no one thing made so profound an Impression n the Filipinos as the free distribution of schoolboks to the children. The books were printed both in Spanish ami Englit-h. The effect was most marked. In my own town, where before it had been Impossible to enlist the sympathy of the leading men in th" town, afterward they came freely to us and gave unwavering support. This and the abolishment of the Spanish practice of extortion were amazing to the natives. The people had been bled so long that they coul 1 not understand how it was possible to maintain a government upon any other basis. I believe, however, that the Filipinos will finally come to understand the character of the American occupation and that peace, preisperity and contentment will come to the islands under American sovereignty." CIVIL GOYEHMET III LI.
House MeiiHure Perfected Iy Hcnnlllcnn Member of Committee. WASHINGTON, April S.-The Houso hill establishing civil government in the Philippines was finally perfected to-day by the Republican members of the insular committee and in its complete form was reintroduced by Chairman Cooper. There is little doubt that it will be reported to the Houss by the full committee, probably tomorrow, and In the form Mr. Cooper introduced It to-day. The House bill is unlike that of the Senate in that it provides a complete form of civil government for the Iflands, to go into effect when the war terminates, the provision being as follows: "Whenever the existing insurrection in the Philippines shall have ceased and a condition of general and complete peace shall have been established therein, and the facts shall be certified to the President by the commission, tho President shall authorize the commission to call a general election for the choice of delegates to a popular assembly of the people of the Philippine islands to be known as the Philippine assembly." It is further provided that all the legislative power shall then bo vested in two houses the Philippine commission and the Philippine assembly. Provision is made for taking the census within thirty days after the promulgation of peace. Thereafter the islands are to be divided into election districts and the regular machinery for electing the legislature is provided. Section 12 of the bill provides that all residents of the Philippines shall have the same protection from the Fnlted States in their relations to foreign governments as is accorded to citizens of the United States. For the purchase of the friar lands the bill makes provision for the issuance of insular bonds at 5 per cent, interest, payable in gold, the total amount not being specified. The regulation of frachlses, timber lamJ 3, mineral lands, etc., is provided for. The system of coinage differs from that in the Senate bill, as it makes gold the standard, with Philippine token money of silver maintained at a parity with gold. The peso Is to be of silver. It will equal our silver dollars In sLie and be worth half as much. GOVERNOR TAFT RETTER. He Send a Iteply to Senator Cnlbermou'n Allegation. CINCINNATI.'' April S. Although Governor William H. Taft has been released from the hospital and lias been walking out and attending to correspondence at the house of his brother, Charles I. Taft, he Is not yet entirely recovered, and his surgeon has advised him to wait at least until April 13 before beginning the duties that precede his return to the Philippines. He expects now to be able to go to St. Louis on the 15th or lGth of April to consult with the officers oT the St. Louis exposition concerning an exhibit from the Philippine islands. He will return to Cincinnati, and after spending a day or two here will go to Washington and be there until after the return of Secretary Root from Cuba. He will spend several days there in consultation with the secretaiy of war and the President. When that work is concluded he will spend a day or two in Cincinnati and then return to his responsible work in the Philippines. Governor Taft to-day sent to Washington to the Senate committee on the situation In the Philippines an answer to the charge made In the committee yesterday by Senator Culberson, of Texas, that the Governor had withheld certain reports in his testimony before the committee and says that the charge is untrue. The report which Senator Culberson complains was withheld by the Governor was one from the civU government of the province of Tabayas, in which a number of charges were made against the military administration in that province, and also against the army generally In Its conduct and its relations to the civil government. The Governor refused to tell what he said In his communication "It will be made public by the committee I suppose," he said. The Governor said that he had not received any request for information from the committee, but had sent it without being asked. The Tnynban Province Affair. WA SUING TON, April S. Secretary Root to-day transmitted to the Senate committee on the Philippine islands a copy of the report of the civil governor of Tayabas, which Is said to have been the principal basis of Lieutenant General Giles's statement in his letter to the President that the war in the Philippines had been conducted with "marked severity." The report is said to contain severe reflections on the conduct of military affairs in the province of Tayabas. It is accompanied by a statement from Governor Taft explaining why he had not felt at liberty to tell the committee about the Tayabas report when he was giving his testimony about Philippine affairs. The secretary also furnished the committee other correspondence in regard to the matter, including a cablegram to General Chaffee directing him to investigate and report on the charges. No report his yet been received from General Chaffee. The correspondence was not made public. Jtidgenhin for 11 Gold Democrat. SANTA FE. N. M.. April S. William IL Pope, of Atlanta, Ga., for the past eight years a resident of Santa Fe, attorney for the Pueblo Indians and assistant district attorney of the Court of Private Land Claims, to-day accepted a judgeship of the Court of First Instance in the Philippine islands, tendered him by Governor Taft. He will sail in June. Judge Pope is a gold Democrat, thirty-one years of age. EX-PRIEST ACQUITTED. Not Gnllty of Manslaughter While Illegally Practicing Medicine. GENESEO. N. Y., April S.

The Tost to-morrow will say: "A remarkable development In the coal miners' strike in the central Cistrict fields has taken place during tho past few days. It was learned to-night from official sources that the strike of the miners there and particularly tho?e? who were employed by the Rochester and Pittsburg Coal Company, has determined the coal company on drastic measures for stamping out all unionism in its section. Ths Rochester and Pittsburg Company operates three mines, the Walton, Adrian and Florence. All are near Punxsutawney and upon them depend fully lO.vOO men for employment. Of this number 6,00) are the regular miuers. The rest are filling other occupations. After vainly endeavoring to get an agreement satisfactory to the officers of the company, and Anally dispairlng of it, orders were given to close down the mines. This order means the absolute idleness of the properties of the company for at least all of the present summer.
