THE "opEN DooRo po11cE.
Oingley Explains the Terms as Applied
 to the Philippines.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Chairman Dingley of the ways and means com mittee, in an interview with Star re- porter to-day, explained the term "open door" policy as applied to the future commerce of the Philippines in case they should be acquired by the United States. "The phrase open door policy, which is now being talked about so much in the newspapers said MT, Dingley, means simply equality of treatment and not free trade. AS ap- piled to the Philippines it would mean that imports from Great Britain and all foreign countries are to be admitted at the same rates of duty as imports from the United States. Of course this pol icy could not be applied to the Philip
 pines if they should be admitted into
 the Union with territorial form of
 government, unless there should be an
 amendment to the constitution permit
 ting this.
 Tt is noticeable, however, that in the
 resolution providing for the annexation of Hawaii passed at the last session of congress it was provided that the Ha- waiian tariff should continue in force
 until congress should otherwise deter
 mine. It is to be borne in mind that the present talk about an open door
 policy for the Philippines is intended to
 apply entirely to those islands while
 under military administration. Of
 course it would be competent for the Paris commissioners to incorporate in
 the treaty with Spain a provision grant ing to Spanish imports into the Philip pines equality of ereatment with im- ports from the United States for term | of years, and that treaty would be the
 law of the land.
 Tn the discussion of the open door policy I notice that many papers as- sume that it is the uniform policy of | Great Britain in her relations with her colonies. It should be borne in mind, 1 however, that there is a conspicuous exception to this in the case of Canada, her most important colony, which ad- mits imports from Great Britain at 25 ! per cent. less duty than they are ad-
 mitted from the United States. It is understood that this policy was adopt | ed by Canada, if not on the suggestion, | at least with the approval of Mr. Cham | berlain, British stcretary for the colo nies, and that he is urging other colo 1 nies of Great Britain to give prefer ence to that country"

BIG FAILURE IN SOUTHWEsT. Cattle Interests Throughout That Sec.
 ton of Country Involved.

Abilene, Kansas, Nov. 25-A failure involving cattle interests throughout the southwest was precipitated here to- day, when an attachment suit for s40,- Woodbine by the Gillespie company of Kansas City. Gillett controls thousands of cattle on the southwestern ranges, and his liabilities are believed to be over a million dollars. Some idea of the extent of Gilletts liabilities was gained at the county registers office here, where fully S1000,000 of his paper is re- corded. Most of Gillett's paper is be- lieved to have been held by Kansas City banks and commission firms, but the firms who are represented here claim to be amply protected.
 The career of Grant c. Gillett has been of the sky-rocket order. He is but thirty-one years old and his operations have startled the more conservative stock men. Four years ago he lived on a mortgaged quarter section of land near Woodbine, where he began his cat tie trade by feeding steers for others. In this he was successful and on the little ranch he laid the ground work for the business which has enabled him to handle over 100000 cattle. His meth ods were novel, Soon he seemed to have unlimited credit. He organized his cowboy band composed of plains men, and took his band with him to all cities. MT. Gillett is said to have re- gently taken out s237 ,000 of life insur- ance and $50,000 of accident insurance.

THE INSPECTION OF MEAT. Report of Dr. Salmon, Chief of Animal
 Industry Bureau.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Dr. D. E. Sal dustry in his report for the year ended June 30, 1896, states that during the year meat inspection was in operation at 136 abbattaoirs as against thirty three in 1897. The number of animals inspected before slaughter numbered 53, ,395, 39S. Of these 9,226237 were cattle, 10,02S,2S7 sheep; 46S,190 calves and 3l,- 610,675 hogs, showing total gain over 1897 of 9,925,291 animals. At the time of slaughter 13,136,S33 animals were in- spected and 63,662 were rejected; e1,- 50S carcasses and 4S,1S9 parts of car casses were condemned.
 The meat inspection stamp was affix- ed to 14,5S3, 7S0 packages of mutton and beef and pork products, of which 3!4,- 131 contained microscopically examined pork. In connection with the exarnina =
 tion of imports from Germany it was found that German toys and colored goods were poisonous and all highly
 painted German toys may be regarded as very dangerous to children, who may suck off the paint or swall oy- pieces that may be clipped off.
 The study of tuberculosis with refer ence to both men and animals has been
 continued and reports received indicate that in incipient stages of the disease serum is of considerable value. This di- vision contemplates investigations rela- tive to Texas fever anthrax and other diseases. The division of pathol 3sy has continued the experiments If dlppins
 cattle with view to destroying the ticks which spread their infection of Texas fever and a substance has been
 found in which cattle may be immersed without suffering any serious injury and which will destroy all the ticks cn an animal in single dipping.
 Dr. Salmon asks that sufficient ap- propriation for extending and develop 1 ing foreign markets for dairy products
 of the United States be made, and that 1 legislation be sought by which the ex- 1 isting system of government inspection i ard certification of meats and meat
 products for export from the United
 States may be extended (with suitable ] modification) to include butter, cheese 1 and condensed milk.

Appointment Made by General Wood Who Will Give the Cubnns Every Op- pOrtunity to Prove Whether or Not They Are Capable of Governing Scheme Approved for the Higher Edu- cation of Women.
cation of Women.


 Santiago, Nov. 25.-Some time ago Major Leary, who General Wood ap- pointed mayor of Santiago, requested to be relieved of his mayoralty duties and to return to his military post. This request was granted to-day. In the opinion of General Wood it is prefer able to appoint to the mayoralty a civ- ilian acceptable to the Cubans, and he has appointed as Major McLeary's successor Senor Baradi, an old resident. He is anxious to give the mayoralty as much authority as is compatible with military jurisdiction. The new mayor will conform to General Woods ideas, which are to give the Cubans every opportunity to show themselves capable of self-government. Major McLeary as military mayor gave en- tire satisfaction to all classes. He has | been assigned to the duties of inspector general of the province and will shortly make a tour, including Holguin, Jibara, Baracoa, Sagua de Tanamo and other poinst, making reports to General Wood.
 The first official act of Mayor Baradi was to discharge the entire clerical force in the mayors office and to en- ploy Cubans who had served in the | war. He will shortly issue a manifes- to to the effect that he intends en- couraging the city's development and giving employment, so far as conditions will permit, to worthy persons. He will promise to look closely to the gen. eral interests of the community and will call upon all Cubans to obey the law and thus to promote the prosperity of the country and to insure the happi- ness of it's people.
 l Colonel H. D. Borrup having complet- l ed his work in the ordnance depart ment is taking over all the armament i in the province. He is also giving close l attention to the condition of the United i States ordnance regarding which he will report to Washington. Lieutenant Brooks will probably be appointed to supervise the system of waterworks. i The regulation preventing the foreclo- sure of small mortgages issued by Gen. eral Wood a fortnight ago, has proved a great boon to those for whose relief i it was intended.
 ] General Wood has approved scheme 1 for a school for the higher education i of women similar to the American nor nal school. To-day he issued notice
 imposing fine of S1,000 upon any per i son promoting bull fight and fine of $50 upon any promoter of cock hght. In the case of a cock fight the hne will fall upon witnesses as well as pro- motors. The civil administration of the province is now virtually com- plete. The appointment of supreme court judges will be made tomorrow, and as the local bar association has
 put forward several names General 1 Wood with probably select from these.

DIR. CHASE,S COMET.
Observed at the Lick Observatory in
 California by CoddingtOn.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 25.-A tele- gram has been received at the Harvard college observatory from Prof. J. E. Keeler at Lick observatory, California, stating that Chase's comet was observ- ed by Coddington, November "A, .0519 Greenwich mean time in right ascension, 10h 21m ASS, and declination plus 23 de- grees 36 minutes seconds.
 The comet was discovered November 14, at the Yale observatory, very near the radiant point of the meteor shower of that date by pr. F. l.. Chase, assist ant professor of astronomy. It will be interesting to determine the connection, if any, betwen these objects. Very early this morning Dr. Chase made another attempt to observe the comet and also to photograph it. The condi- tions were not as favorable as might have been owing to the fullness of the moon. Dr. Chase stated that after this morning the conditions for further ob- servations would not be favorable for three weeks. It is believed that the comet is coming nearer and, if so, some interesting developments may be ex- pected.

SPANISH FLEET HESITATES.
III They Cross the Ocean to American
Waters They VIII lie Cut on from
Coal supply.

WASHINGTON, April 23,-The belief
among high officials is that the Span
ish will hesitate before sending the
pick Of their navy into American or
Cuban waters 1t must be realized, it
is said, that, cut off from coal supply,
they would be at great disadvantage
and would run the very risk of total
humiliation. Nor is il believed that
Capt. Gen. Blanco will be in a hurry to
precipitate conflict, and therefore
IL is not expected that Capt. Samp-
sons feet will have very much to do
during the next few days but to pre-
vent supplies from entering Havana.
Nevertheless it is believed that hostili-
ties will not be delayed longer than is
necessary to get our army within sup
porting distance. When that is ac.
complished our navy will not delay an
hour, but will Immediately attack the
Notifications around Havana.
