SO far as the cabinet discussion today
touched upon Cuba and Porto Rico, 1t
was the purpose to develope views as to
the best means Of collecting tine revenues
and customs, providing some means OF
equalizing the duties which will be COL
ected locally upon imports from tbs
United States as well as from other ooun-
tries and providing for the peaceful and
satisfactory government of the cities and
towns until such times as Congress shall
haze ordered otherwise. 1t is the inben-
tion of the President to maintain q mili-
tary government in both Cuba and Porto
Rico for the time being, but mis- purpose
of such form Of government so far as
lies within his power. For instance there
was taken into serious consideration
view cut forth by Secretary Alger that
it would be well in Cuba to use the
Cuban soldiers who seemed fitted for such
work las alooal police force or genaarmerie
possessed IN a measure of both the power
of the police and the soldiers. There are
several strong arguments which 3he war
department has put forth az sufficient to
justify the adoption of this course. In
the first place honorable and profitable
employment would be given to consid-
erable proportion of the Cuban soldiers
who mighu otherwise in phe abssnce of
individual employment drift off into evil
courses or become dissatisfied and dam
gerous element to the community
In the second place, the men being
thoroughly acquainted locallyswith places
and the habits of the Spanish-Americans,
would be much more ssrviceable than
American soldiers.
Already some of the evils attending
the employment of the latter have been
experienced at Manila and at Santiago,
the results being sometimes comical, and
| at others serious in the misunderstanding
| that arose between the soldiers and tine
people.

MINERAL WEALTH OF PHILIPPINES.
Report of Prof, Becker Forwarded to
Navy Department.


Washington, November Admiral
Dewey has forwarded to the Navy De-
partment memorandum on the mineral
resources of the Philippines, prepared at
the Admirals request by Prof. George f.
Becker of the United States Geological
survey. Prof. Becker made considerable
researches and consulted with the avail
able authorities. Only about a score OF
the several hundred islands, he says. are
known to contain deposits of valuable
minerals. Hs includes table showing
the mineral bearing islands and their re-
sources. This table follows:
Luzon-Coal, gold, copper, lead, iron,
sulphur. marble. kaolin.
Cataanduanes, Stbuyan, Bohol and
Panaoan--Gold only.
Marimuaqus-Lead and silver.
Mindoro-Coal, gold and copper.

SPAIN WILL NEVER CONSENT.
Paris, November 1-Referring to yester-
days meeting, of the Peace commission.
the Matin says: "The Spaniards said
they would make their answer known
Friday, but it is expected it will be re-
fusal. The Spanish plenipotentiaries have
made up their minds in the event of the
United States adverting to the Philippine
proposition to decline to sign the act of
peace, to break off the negotiations and
to call upon the civilized nations to wit
ness the abuse of force to which they will
be subjected, and the violation Of the pro-
visions set forth in the Washington
protocol"
The Gaulols says: 1.-The Spanlards Will
never agree to abandon ths archipelago
without compensation, and we believe the
Americans intend to suggest that they
will assume the Philippine debt. We hope
the negotiations will not be broken, but
Spain, it is given out az certain, would
take such course, rather than submit to
the hum iliating terms. "

The Queens Gold Plate.

The gold plate which is sent up from
windsor Castle to Buckingham Palace
for state concerts numbers about ten
thousand pieces. 1t comes from the
gold pantry, which is an iron room Sit
uated on the ground floor under the
royal apartments. The clerk of the
pantry gives it out packed in huge iron
boxes, and invariably demands re-
ceipt for it. 1t is carried by special
train, under escort of guard of SOL
diers, and delivered to the butler at
Buckingham Palace. He gives a re-
ceipt for it, and is responsible for it
while it remains at the Palace. The
same formalities are observed in taking
it back. The, total value of plate in
this department is nearly ten million
dollars.

Splendor of Russian Royal Palace

No Western 1maSlna4On can easily
conceive an idea of the splendor with
which the Russian rulers are habitual-
ly surrounded. Chairs and tables of
solid silver, ivory thrones ablaze with
brilhants and sapphires, walls of am
Der and floors of mother-of-pearl-
these things sound like an Eastern ia
BILE; but the CZar has them all.
At Moscow, in the great palace with
in the sacred Kremlin walls, there are
not only crowns, orbs and scepters COW
cred with diamonds, but also saddle,
stirrups and sets of harness covered
with similar gems. There are hundreds
of swords, daggers and scimitars, the
sheaths of which are literally masses
of pearls, rubies and turquoises.
Rare tapestries, marvellous china
from Sevres and Japan, flawless gems
from Asia, priceless antique MSS. and
jeweled book-covers-these are a few
of the objects scattered about the

gality.

horticultural Notes.

If YOU have fruit tree that grows
rampantly and does not bear, though
quite large enough, try little root
pruning before the leaves appear. The
second summer after such pruning it
will fruit.
Mock oranges are in much repute for
the lovely flowers and the sweet odor
of the same. But there are several
kinds in nurseries which are not sweet
scented, and when ordering see that
the sweet one is asked for.
For an evergreen to cover graves and
for other cemetery purposes, either the
common periwinkle, the English ivy or
the new memorial rose, Wichuriana,
would be found very useful. English
ivy does well in such place.
Anjou is an exceedingly large and
good pear, and one largely planted for
profit. In Pennsylvania it is an autumn
pear; in New York early winter, and
further North 1t keeps well until mid
winter. 1t is a sure bearer. and one
that should not be missed in any collec-
ton.
When a Tree of plduL is SICK 1t uO1S

lists and gardeners place manure about
them. A tree apparently healthy yet
making no growth is very likely in need
of food and it should have the food,
not the sick one.
For shady places the common box
bush is one of the best evergreens. as
the green of it's foliage is much deeper
when in the shade. And all evergreens
are good for the purpose, but they must
not be set where the drip from trees
will fall ON them much.

When Elephants Have Toothache,

It is not easy to tell when an elephant
has got a toothache, but it is best to
keep out of his way when you do know
it. A London surgeon, who had been
for many years in India, says he would
sooner risk a railway accident than
meet an elephant with toothache.
1t appears that toothache affects
an elephant in a more severe manner
than it does any other animal. Ele-
plants have very sensitive nerves, and
a touch of toothache often brings on
madness.
Providing you are able to chain down
an elephant and draw out the offend
ing tooth, the brute is certain to be af-
fectionate to you afterward. Here is
an instance:
An elephant in Bengal, India, became
affected with toothache, but the keep
ers managed to secure it while dentist
drew a decayed tooth-the cause of the
trouble. After a time the elephant
seemed to understand that the dentist
was trying to do something for his
pain, and he gave every evidence of
appreciating the attention. When the
operation was over he f1isked round
the dentist like a young lamb.

Narrow Wagon Tires.

In the framing of road laws there is
something else to be considered quite as
important as the encouragement Of
cheap roads, and that is the decided
discouragemento of narrow wagon tires,
says Engineering News. 1t is evidently
the worst type of economic folly to eX-
pend large sums in constructing good
roads and then to permit these roads to
be used, or rather abused, by vehicles
which often concentrate from two to
five tons on tires only two inches wide.
The destruction of the roadbed is in
evitable in time, however well it is
built, and the maintenance account is
enormously increased. New Jersey is
taking decided steps in this connection
by providing for rebate of taxes up to
81 per wheel for wagons having tires
over four inches in width and by lately
permitting cities and towns to pass Or
dinances absolutely prohibiting the use
of their streets by narrow tires sup
porting heavy loads.
Narrow tires are wrong in principle,
even when used on dirt roads. In eX-
periments made on the. United States
TOdu cAulblI lhC hlldhtl CApoSltlOh
it was shown that just twice as much
power was required to haul load over
a wet clay road cut up by two inch tires
as to pull the same load over the same
road rolled and consolidated by four to
five inch tires.
Foreign countries, where good roads
are the rule and not the exception, rec
ognize the value of broad tires in the
transport of heavy loads and make their
use compulsory. French market wag-
ons, for example, have tires ranging in
width from three to ten inches, accord
ing to load, and the tires are usually
from four to six inches wide.
A general rule laid down in Ontario,
Canada, is that for wagons without
springs no tire should be less than 211a
inches wide for load of 500 to 1000
pounds on each wheel, and not less than
6 inches wide for loads of 1000 to 5000
pounds on each wheel. The French
practice of making the front axle short
er than the rear one, so that the two
sets of wheels may not follow in the
same track, is another excellent provis-
ion, as it converts the broad tired wag-
on into an efficient road roller.

no precaution against sudden cooling off.
In case of the horse, # he chills, he will be

who are forgetful of the consequences, they
will suffer soreness and stiffness from head

Mousseline Sleeves.

Dresses of various fashion, material
and style agree in this one point:
They have sleeves close fitting for the
entire length of finely shirred NOUS
seline de sole. For dinner dress or
evening gown these sleeves are often
unlined. But for luncheon gown or
other toilet they can be made as warm
as necessary with the silk lining. The
black mousseline sleeves are charming

An Ideal Route to KIondike.
Some of the foreign newspapers,
Austrian among them, exhibit re.
markably clear knowledge of the Klon.
dixie country. The following account
of the proper way of reaching the Klon-
dixie is taken from an Australian news
paper:
''The real starting point for the
Klondike is Spokane. There the
traveller takes a canoe, by which he
voyages to Vancouver, B. c. At the
latter point he takes sailing vessel di-
rect to Dawson City"
The above item came from Australia,
and for several months it has been
travelling around in the humorous col
umns of American newspapers.

The Leagues Work in 1907.

Considerable has been said concern
Ing the part which the League of Amer
lean Wheelmen has taken in the good
roads movement throughout the coun-
try. AS the national officers have to
work through the fifty or more local di-
visions, the work of the latter must be
taken as that of the league. The New
York State division devoted most of
it's time during the session of the Legis-
lature of 1897 in fighting for the pas
sage of the Highly Armstrong bill,
which was defeated, but will be
brought up again. The work of the
New York City consulate and the Good
Roads Association of Brooklyn is well
known and has resulted in many miles
of asphalt and macadam roads in Penn
sylvania, the wheelmen succeeded this
year in having good roads bill passed.
Bills were introduced with more or less
success in Maine, Vermont, New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Oregon,
California-all the direct result of agi-
tation by wheelmen. The bill for the
appointment of a national highway
commission was due to the efforts of
Wheelmen.
Besides this pioneer work, the divis-
ions have devoted considerable energy,
successfully, to the building of cycle
paths, hoping in this way to show the
worth and necessity of good roadways.
Cycle paths have been built in Indian
apolis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Roeh-
ester, Niagara, Long Island, Florida,
Portland and Chicago, and in this city
the cycle speedway through BRONX and
Pelham Bay parkways will be built
before next spring. An arrangement
has been made between President Pot
ter of the League of American Wheel
men and Gen. Roy Stone of the bureau
of good roads of the Agricultural De-
partment at Washington to have 1,0OO,
600 pamphlets sent all over the country
showing the need of good roads, Last
February at Albany the National AS
sembly of the League of American
Wheelmen set aside one day for the
discussion of road improvements,
which was attended and addressed by
prominent advocates of good roads.
The league has spent over $500,OO0 di-
rectly and Indirectly in this cause. The
Potter Good Roads Library, conducted
by the league, has been translated into
six different languages, and distributed
in European countries, and its distribu-
ton in the United States has been wide
spread. Like all reforms, that of good
roads has been slow, but the above out
line shows how the work with which
the League of American Wheelmen is
in sympathy has been done.-New York
