Pennsylvania chances much better for
Wefers was expected to win the one
hundred yard dash on Saturday with
Tewksbury, of Pennsylvania, second; but
the latter should now easily win the one
hundred and two hundred and twenty
yard dashes, his time and performances
being much better than any other con-
testants. Tewksbury was expected to
beat out the redoubtable Georgetown
sprinter in the two hundred and twenty,
but second was the best he expected in
the one hundred. Wefers, who is now
at home in Washington, will break train
ing for the Summer in the hope of build
ing up for the next season, but he will
need the best of care to enable him ever
to race again.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.
WI Ting Fang Hopes 1t viii Not BE APP
piled in the Philippines.


Washington. Dec. 1.-The Washing
ton Star prints this afternoon an inter-
view with Mr.. WI Ting Fang, the Chi
nese minister. concerning the proba-
bility of the enforcement Of the Chinese
exclusion act in the Philippines when
the islands shall come under the con-
troll of the United states.
Mr.. WI expresses satisfaction at the
conclusion of the peace negotiations, as
peace between the United States and
Spain is thereby insured. He depre-
Gates war in all its phases and believes
that all International differences should
be submitted TO an arbitrage tribunal
for settlement. Regarding the appli-
cation of the Chinese exclusion act 10
the Philippines, Mr.. WI said:
II wish to appeal To h American
people not to enforce the Chinese eX-
clusion law in those Islands. BY doing
so a great injustice Will be done my
countrymen, and many opportunities Of
n prosperous and happy life Will he de-
MED them. There are a great many
Chinese in the Philippines. n all OF
them are n credit TO the archipelago.
The Chinese population there is entire
Nv different from that In your Western
countries. In the Philippines my coun-
trymen are engaged in every walk OF
life. There are innumerable artisans.
farmers, storekeepers. merchants, trad
ers and in fact, business men or every
legitimate character"

BRADY'S REPORT.
Says II IL Impossible tn Prevent Snug
Cling in Alaska.

Washington, Dec 1.-The annual re-
port of Governor Brady of Alaska,
briefly summarized i'm Secretary Bliss
report. was made public to-day. IL
makes a strong plea for congressional
action on Alaska's need at the oming
session. and begs congress to treat
Alaskans as American citizens and
not to classify them with kanakas.
Fflipinos and Cubans. II points out
that Alaska In - times larger than
Cuba. has been 'in u possession for
81 years and its value has been un-
known and unappreciated.'
Governor Brady declares IL would
seem as Impossible TO prevent SNUG
Cling of liquor into Alaska as Ii would
be to preven the clouds from rolling
by or the tide from ebbing or flowing,
though the supper Of the collector of
internal revenue by three or four reve-
nue. cutters and a humble of steam
launches to patrol Southeastern Alaska
would largely check the evil. The gov
ernor adds:
The more the collector and his force
stop the importation of liquor on the
steamer the better IL is for those engag-
ed in smuggling. The chief smugglers
sent their orders and checks to Victo-
ria, Il. G. The average price which the
dealers pay the smugglers is 81 per gal
Ion for whiskey, which in the market
at Port Townsend is worth from 81 to
$3.50 per gallon. AS the retail dealer
considers hat a high price he under
takes to adultefate IL. and by his VII
famous compounds. succeeds in making
two or three gallons out of one. For
the past year much liquor has gone up
To the SUBMITS on the Dyca and a
uay trails. A portion of this has found
it's way Jack to be sold in the numerous
saloons in each of these towns.
The seizure by the customs officers
for the past year have probably
amounted To $500 gallons. The amount
of foreign liquor which has been SNUG
gled will probably amount TO 10000 gal
Ions. None of this foreign liquor has
at any time brought n revenue To the
United States"
Recommendation Is made for a high
license liquor law, "a tax Of a few cents
a case on salmon and 10 cents a ton
for wharfage. The first two mbin
would net at least $685.. 900 annually,
the third 800. 900, based on this years
wharfage. IL is also recommended that
the general land laws be extended to
Alaska: that Alaska be given represen-
tation in congress-; that ~Japonsky ISL
and be made n naval station and that
| cable communication be effected with
the United States.

THE MUNICIPAL PROBLEM
Discussed at the Conference for
Good City Government.
THE CAUSES OF FAILURE
Too Much Interference by State Leeis-
latures The Municipality Should
Have Full Power to Decide
All Local Questions

indianapolis, Dec. 1.-The forenoon
session OF the conference for good city
government was devoted to a consid-
Grafton OF the general problem Of NUM-
cipal government.
Horace +. Deming OF New York read
a paper. entitled The Municipal Prob
lem in the United States" He said. i'm
part: Municipal government In the
United States Is, on the whole, less sat
isfactory than our state or national
government. The W principal causes
of the failure thus far In the United
States TO secure efficient. economical,
progressive municipal government are:
uD The municipality is not granted
sufficient power to determine for itself
all matters OF local public policy and
20 settle for itself the details OF its
scheme OF internal local administration.
CD The municipality as a subordinate
administrative agent OF the state Is
placed partly or wholly under the super
vision n control. not OF any state ad-
m~inistrative department, but of the
state legislature"
Mr.. Deming laid down these funda-
mental propositions: I'D The munich
pal corporation should be invested with
the governmental powers requisite to
determine all questions of local policy.
There should be no excuse ana, III pos
slble. no opportunity to apply TO the
legislature for additional powers and,
on the other hand. the legislature
should nave no excuse and. IL possible.
no opportunity to intermeddle with the
local government by granting or taking
away any power to enable the city TO
decide for itself any question OF public
policy. CD The citizens of the munich
pality under general laws should be
free TO make and amend their own form
OF municipal government, provided II
be based upon democratic-republican
principles, and to determine their own
methods of administration of the local
government according to their
own ideas a. TO what will best
serve their local needs. go In
so far as the municipal corporation Is
made the agent Of the state to enforce
and administer general laws within the
corporate limits. Il should be under the
supervision OF and responsible to CEN
trail state administrative departments
and not subject to this sort OF special
legislation"
At the afternoon session DIR. Frank j.
Goodnow, professor OF administrative
law I'm Columbia university. spoke on
The place Of the council and the may
or in the organization OF municipal gov
eminent, and the necessity of distin-
gushing legislation from administra-

SKATER ANNOYED.
Doesn't Like the Criticisms Made by
Admiral sampson.

A0mlroI
New York, Dec. General w. X.
Shafter was shown a copy of Admiral
SIMPSONS report on the operations OF
the United States fleet at Santiago
after the destruction OF the Spanish
fleet, in which the admiral denounced
as false the suggestion, which he at
tributed TO General Shafter, that the
navy was unwilling to cooperate In
forcing an entrance to the harbor and
intimated that the services OF the navy
were not properly recognized by the
commanders OF the and forces. Gen.
eral Shafter did not conceal the fact
that Admiral Simpsons criticisms an
noyed him greatly. but he declined to
go into any extended reply to them.
This controversy has been fought
over before" he said. The records
speak for themselves. My letters and
dispatches TO Admiral Sampson, as
given in his report, tell the story. i
have nothing to add to them"
The general went over the newspaper
synopsis Of the admiral's report and
pointed out hat the correspondence
given therein showed that he IA re-
auested Admiral Sampson to send a
representative to the ceremonies OF the
surrender of Santiago and that he did
not sign the terms of surrender himself.
AS 1 did not sign them, i certainly
would not consent for Admira Samp-
son TO do So"
