MISSIONARY KNAPP
Forwards to the Attorney General a
Protest Against the Abuse
of Eskimos.
Ketchikan Mining Journal. Sept. JO.
K. J. Knapp, a lay missionary of the
Kpiseopal ehureli, visitI with Rev.
Thomas Jenkins during the stay of the
Ihilphin in )«>rt Wednesday. He is re
turning north to take up his work among
the Kskimos.
Mr. Knapp has spent several years
with the natives along the Aretie ocean
and has lately forwarded to the attorney
general of the I'nited States a strong
statement and a vigorous protest on lie
half of the church against the almse of
the natives in that region l>v whalers
and others from the I'nited States. In
his communication to Attorney General
Moody Mr. Knapp calls attention to the
small efforts of the ollicers of the revenue
cutter service to protect these natives,
esjieciully the women, who, he says, arc
kidnaped every summer and held in
captivity aboard vessels for months.
The bureau of education that has estab
lished schools in that far-off land, the
missionary says, is in full possession of
the facts concerning existing conditions,
but has d< lie nothing. Ilis is an apjienl
for immediate action by the authorities
at Washington.

referred to some of the reeeiit improve
ments, and continued:
“The political situation in some re
spects is not as jrood as it ouy'ht tola1. A
wave of ladronism has swept over the
province of Cavite, and it has lieen found
necessary to sus)iend the writ of habeas
corpus in the provinces of Cavite and
Batalinas. The same was true of Samar,
hut the use of troops on Samar and the
use of the scouts and constabulary in
Cavite has put an end to this business.
However, there were two or three men
resjsmsible for the keeping up of the
ladronism, who had not lieen captured.
Complaints were made against the con
stabulary. and while many of them were
unfounded, it was probably true that a
change in the constabulary ounht to be
effected, and it is now under eonsidera

question; but with a self-restraint anil
moderation which can not lie too highly
commended it was exactly agreed l>e
tween the members of the congressional
party on hoard that it would Ik* most
unwise for them lo discuss before the
Filipinos their differences of opinion,
and therefore that any statement should
he made by the representative of the
administration as to the policy of politi
cal administration. Hence the sight
which some of the irreconcilable Fili
pinos hail hojicd fur—to wit, a constant
combat lietween republican ami demo
cratic member*, with the Filipino ]>eo]>le
as an audience—was not presented, and
I can not express too emphatically my
pleasure at the patriotic stand which
our democratic brethren took in this
matter in remitting diffusion of differ
ences of opinion to the proper repre
sentatives in congress.
“All the days in Manila were spent by
the congressmen in investigating agri
cultural conditions with the view to the
effect of a iKissihle change in tariff on
the Philippine production of tobacco
and sugar. An opportunity was also
given to those Filipinos strongly in
favor of immediate independence to pre
sent their views.
“After a week in Manila the party
proceeded on a tour around the islands.
In Manila, Ilolio and Cebu were heard
complaints of failure of crops and of the
stringency of the times. At Tactoba,
Leyte (one of the hemp provinces), and
again at Legaspi, the chief city of Albay,
the greatest of the hemp provinces, we
found the (x-ople very happy, and a con
dition of prosjierity prevailing, due to
the profitable production of hemp.
“Returning to Manila the delegation
resumed its investigations, where it was
occupied with conferences w itb t lovernor
< icneral Wright, the various nieiiiliers of
the committee, and with prominent
Filipinos and others, u|nm ipiestHinx of
governmental practice and policy.”
