THE SI'LU AftREEMENT Explained By President of Philip¬ pine Commission. ANY INTERFERENCE IS UNNECESSAfiY Mr. SchnmutB Thinks That Arrangtneats Wl »tch Have Been Made Are Best For All Concerned. Washington dispatch says: In Yiew of the current discussion of the military agreement between General Bates and the sultan of Sulu the views of President Sohurman, of the Philip¬ pine commission, on the subject are interesting. ^ r - Schurman was one of the first Americans to visit Jolo, the seat of Spanish government in the Sulu archi P^&go, with and had an extended interview the sultan before the arrival of General Bates. The arrangements en¬ tered into between General Bates and the sultan was considerably influenced by this meeting. the Although Sultan the full agreement with has not been made public by the Washington authorities, it can be stated that it practically conforms to the previous convention existing between the Sultan and the Spanish government. In this agreement Spain never claimed anything more than an external protectorate over the Sula group, the right to suppress piracy in its waters and to prevent the periodic migrations of the oathbound Moham¬ medans who went to the northern islands under a vow to kill Christians and thus secure an entrance into Par¬ adise. Professor Schurman said when ques¬ tioned about the probable continuance of polygamy and slavery in the islands after they came under the American dominion that this was a subject which would have to be dealt with in the most careful fashion to bring an ultimately satisfactory solution. He said: “It seems to me that were it not for the ignorance displayed, the pres¬ ent hue and cry about polygamy and slavery in these islands would be ab¬ solutely criminal.. In taking over the Sulu group we have acquired no rights of any sort there except those be¬ queathed us by Spain. She was bound by her agreement with the sultan not to interfere with the religion or cus¬ toms of the islands and it would be most unwise for us to attempt this by force when it can be ultimately ac¬ complished by the slower method of civilization and education. “The Sulu group proper contains about 100,000 inhabitants. They are all Mohammedans, as are about 150, 000 of the residents of Mindanoa, directly east. To attempt to interfere with the religion of these people would precipitate one of the bloodiest wars in which this country has ever been engaged. They are a different race physically and mentally isles—powerful from the resi¬ dents of the Viscayan men and religious fanatics of the most pronounced type,who care nothing for death and believe the road to heaven can be attained by killing Christians. Polygamy is a part of their religion, and slavery, about which so much is being said just now, is a mild type of feudal bondage. “The sultan believes from what he has seen of Americans that they are ready to be friendly and deal honestly by him. Our soldiers and officers al¬ ready travel into the interior of Jolo with perfect impunity, where Span¬ iards never dared to set foot. It has been suggested indirectly to the sul¬ tan that he should maintain an Ameri¬ can of good standing as a confidential adviser at his court to aid him in the work of material development for which the beautiful group of islands is ready, and which is bound to come when they are thrown in touch with the civilized. I believe that he will take kindly to this suggestion.” stragglers returning. Members of Hl-Fiitoil Regiment and Part Of Mattery Return.

Hair Makes a Strsog Rope. ) It has been stated that If the bnlrs on the head of a ftilr-hnlred person could be plaited together they would ! make a rope strong enough to support 5 a weight of something like eighty tons. or of 500 people. This sounds rather a big statement, but the strength even of a single hair is quite surprising when Its fineness is considered, as any one ran test for herself by seeing the force that must be expended in breaking it.

OS^DflUGfill fiY*!^ Q« * ,Mt_ n SAVINGS OF THE SOLDIERS, Large Sams of Money Deposited by Men Serving in the Philippines. The United States are paying a high¬ er rate of interest to soldiers than on the last bond issue. Last year this in¬ terest account amounted almost to ( $50,000. This interest. 4 per cent., is paid on deposits, and only to enlisted men. Officers are excluded. Any sol¬ dier, not retired, may deposit his sav¬ ings with any paymaster in sums not less than $5. Money once deposited may remain until expiration of his en¬ listment. This privilege of depositing money lias been of great value to the soldiers, for it provides security for their surplus money, and is profitable. During the past year the record of deposits has been remarkable, but it is the water mark has not been reached. For the fiscal year end¬ ing June 30 more than half a million dollars was deposited by the troops at Manila alone. This record promises to be eclipsed during the current year, and the army officials would not be surprised if deposits of soldiers in the Philippines reached $1,500,000. One reason for this increase Is that there are more soldiers of the depositing class than last year: that is, there are more regulars. And even the new vol¬ unteers may almost be included in the 6ame category, fer they realize that they are in for at least two years, while the volunteers last year knew their term of service would be brief. and consequently had little incentive f 0 deposit. The deposits were almost exclusively , . confined „ , to . regulars, ______ T in „ some companies now more than half the members are depositing, and it is 1>e] j or<H j the fever will spread, at least possessions. I ntil in the near future almost every soldier will be a depositor. The benefit of this to the soldier can .... 1 : 1 .. seen. ‘ ~ The records of deposits are kept in the office of the paymaster general. Said a clerk engaged on this work: “You have no idea to what extent this feature of soldiers deposits has grown, Before the late war they were almost insignificant, but they have With ... grown «"•!> «*** «>»‘ ** "“« away behind, notwithstanding inereas ed force and extra hours. We have received a paymaster's abstract from Man ia containing the names of almost 1,400 depositors, amounting in all to over $35,000. It may seem like fiction, but some soldiers are deposit¬ ing more than tlioir whole monthly pay.” substantiated This last statement is by showing the deposit record of a company cook in the Ninth infantry, in the Philippines, whose pay is S21.C0 a month, and who has been depositing not less than $24 every month ouring his Philippine service. He also show¬ ed the entry of a single deposit of $13, 000, made by a private at West Point, a few months ago, and said that not long ago a single deposit of $23,000 was made. Every now and then heavy deposits are made, or deposits in excess of the depositor's pay, and naturally considerable conjecture is occasioned. Some attribute them to Inheritances or earnings on the out¬ side, while others are so bold as to in¬ sinuate that occasionally the soldiers engage in games of chance, such as poker and craps. Deposits and inter¬ est are forfeited by desertion.- New York Sun. Up-to-Dot« Tommy Atkins.
