comparatively easy thing hereabouts,
except for the wires which cross tn
roads at different times The shoe shop
which was located near the Union build
ing was put on slaighs Friday last and
carted around the back streets of Red
jacket and through Pine to Calumet and
then to Laurium almost down TO Florida
in short order. Abont the same time the
old piece OF the South Shore depot which
had been cut away from the remainder OF
the building was hauled by the same
route to the same place in Laurium.
The buildings have been pureha ed by
Mr.. Wallace, the commission man, who
will use them for storage rooms in
Laurium. A large number OF telephone
wires had to be cut in order the moving
buildings get by and the linemen were
busy yesterday fixing them up.

GERMANY'S SCHEME.
Wants a Philippine Island That Con-
tains Coal Deposits.

New York, Sept. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: AS an
Indication that Germany has been
scheming to share in the disposition of
! the Philippines, the authorities have
learned that, acting under instructions
from Berlin, the German commander
in-chief of the Asiatic station has made
an exhaustive investigation of the
mineral deposits of the island. He was
assisted by a German engineer, who
had been temporarily assigned to his
squadron for the special purpose of To-
eating coal. The engineer conducted a
thorough investigation, and his report,
which has been submitted to the Ber-
lin government, through Vice Admiral
Won Diedrich, shows that the best lig
mite deposits are located on the island
of Cebu, one of the Vizcaya group.
This information has been received
from one of the representatives of this
government in Germany, and has been
considered of sufficient Importance to
be presented to the peace commission
ers for their consideration. Officials
who were interviewed regarding the
matter admit that there can be only
one object which would lead the Ber-
lin government to direct such an inves-
tigation-the desire to extend German
Jurisdiction over the island which has
the largest beds of coal best adapted
for steaming purposes. Such an island
is Cebu, reports of which have been re-
ceived showing that Ignite of good
quality is found there in large guam
titles. Germany would find Cebu ex-
ceedingly valuable as a coaling station,
and IL would not necessitate the estab-
liShment of a coal pile at Kiao-Chou,
which she recently obtained.
Aware of Germany's proceedings, the
authorities are taking precautions to
prevent the contamination of any plan
which will enable them to reach fru-
ition. The Berlin government, by the
reduction of its fleet in Manila bay,
gave an indication Of its desire to re-
main on good terms with this govern
ment. While regretting the mainten-
ance of such a large force at Manila,
no protest was made by this govern
ment, and the action of Germany in
reducing its naval force was entirely
voluntary.
1t is no longer a secret that Germany
is the only nation from which the gov
eminent apprehends trouble in the set
Element of the Philippine question, and
it is to avert the commitment of an
overt act that the president deter
mined to so strengthen Rear Admiral
Dewey's command as to make it
superior to the German fleet in Asiatic
waters.
The battleships Oregon and Iowa
will start for Manila, via Cape Horn
and Honolulu, next Saturday or Sun
day, by which time it is expected all
repairs will have been made and the
fleet of Golfers will be in readiness
Leaves of absence have been given to
the officers until the latter part of the
week, but no extensions will be given.

Louisville, KY. Sept 19.-Reports
from the far south tonight indicate
that the yellow fever epidemic is

emanating in that section tonight:
The Louisville board of health tonight
made the official announcement that up
to date four cases of fever have been
reported in New Orleans and five cases
at Harvey's canal, above New Orleans,
on the opposite side of the river. No
deaths have been recorded in either
place.
A reorganization of the epidemic
throughout Mississippi shows that out
OF total of 100 cases seven deaths
have occurred, the death rate being Il
per cent heavier than that of last year.
Two new cases have appeared at
Taylor's, but DR.. Wood reports no in
crease. No new cases have appeared
in Jackson.
Alabama has a strict quarantine
AGAINST anyone from New Orleans and
other infected places entering the

INSURGENTS RECRUITING.

Hundreds from Manila are enlisting daily

Great diligence is exhibited in initiating

particularly in volley firing. Entrench-

strengthened, and a Vigilant line or

By this means they keep practically in

The agitation among the insurgents is
stimulated by the clerical party, which

international questions mat Will

Quebec, Sept. 19.-The joint high COM
mission appointed by the United States
and Great Britain to consider and ad-
just international questions, will reas-
semble here tomorrow.
Commissioner Kasson is the only
member of the American delegation
who remained in Quebec during the re-
cess, and his time has been employed
in making up reciprocity schedules and
mapping out general plan for the set
Element of trade relations between the
two countries This will be the most
important question, and the most diff
ficult for the joint commission to settle.
The lake fisheries viii be probably
the first question taken uD by the
American commissioners after they re-
assemble.
After the lake fisheries interests. the
farmers in the Canadian Border states
will probably next be heard from. 1t is
understood that they will ask that in
the adjustment OF trade relations no
reduction he made in the duties now
imposed upon Canadian barley, hay, po-
tatoes and other products grown in the
border states.
The commission will probably sit in
Quebec for two or three weeks, when it
will adjourn to meet again in Washing

Will be brought up for submission to the
United States senate and the parlia
ments of Great Britain and Canada for
