FRIARS MUST LEAVE GUAM.
Capt. Leary, the United States Governor,
Says They Were Exercising Too Much
Power In the Island.

Washington, Oct. S1.-Capt. Leary,
the governor of Guam, has ordered the
friars to leave the island, with the in
junction never to return. This step
was taken after thorough investiga-
ton into the relations of the friars to
the people. Capt. Leary is said to have
discovered that the friars exercised al
most absolute control of the govern
ment. The natives were dependent
upon the friars for their education,
and when any of their pupils arose to
distinction their actions were con-
trolled. Officials for the government
were selected from this class, SO that
the friars practically owned Guam.
Other charges are made against the
friars, all of which Influenced Capt.
Leary to the action he is said to have
taken.

Prefer Hor.eflesh to Beef.

Many people in Denmark prefer
horseflesh to beef. In Germany and
Austria business is brisk in horse meat
preparations, and is becoming more SO
every year. England is still reluctant
about accepting the new aliment. The
first horse butchers in Paris were only
established in 1866; that special trade
Is now legally carried on, and is con-
siderably increasing, as demonstrated
by municipal statistics-so much so
that to-day over 5000 tons of horsefesh
are consumed annually in Paris, sold
by 60 licensed horse butchers.

The foundation for the new govern
ment printing Office is complete and
work will be pushed forward. When
finished it will be the largest printing
Office in the world, as well as the most
fully equipped. The total number OF

pounds of steel. The building will be
completed in 1909, if steel can be pro-

pounds of steam pipes for heating and
1000 incandescent lights will be in
service.

wHEELER's VIEWS OF LUzoN.
sted by . Spirit of Communism
Primitive Methods Prevail.

Nashville. Tenn, Oct. 31.-Cnder
date of September Is, Gen. Joseph
Wheeler writes from Santa Rita, Luzon,
to his cousin, Van Leer Kirkman:
In every town there Is q magnificent stone
church aud q convent or monastery. The in.
surgents have q great antipathy to the piest-
hood or frfars and they have dsmantled many
OF the churches. The value of the church and
monastery OF q town seems to be equal in many
cases to the value Of all the other buildings in
the town.
The more talk to the people the more am
convinced that the insurgents are actuated in a
measure by q spirit of communism and in their
talks their most serio US objection to the church
seems to be the fact that ecclesiastical organi-
cations own SO much OF the property, and one of
AguinaldO's most earnest demands is that the
CHURCH property be confiScated.
There is general impression that the inSur.
gent army is made up very largely Of people
without property, and that people who have
property desire the Americans to control, so
that they can have protection and feel that
their property is secured to TEN, but find
that there is also a fear of apprehension among
some OF the wealthy that if Americans control
and give universal suffrage the power of the
wealthy people would be taken away and their
hold on property much impaired. think that
If the wealthy people would be assured that
they would be protected in their property
rights by the United States it would have "a
very good effect
The statement that 20 per cent of the people
of Luzon can read and write is great mistake
The appearance, mode of life and method OF
performing work is to-day very much like it is
described in the Bible at the time and even be-
fore the Christian era.

England Commands the Sc

11nS
The persons who are talking in this
country and in Europe of joining the
Beers must be either ignorant of geog-
raphy or imagine they can go to the
Transvaal in balloons. England has
command of the sea, and the Transvaal
has not even a port on any of the
oceans. The chances, of course, are
that nobody in the United States, at
least, will attempt to go to the Beers
aid. Thousands of persons in this
country sympathize with the two little
republics, but they can furnish no help
to them.

Most Wonderful Work Of Art.

Most wonderful Work OF Art.
Estimates differ as to the cost of the
Dewey arch in permanent form. One
IS $500, 900, but that of prominent
sculptor is 100000. The site will
probably be in or near Central park. A
citizens committee has the matter in
charge, and the subscriptions pledged
are already numerous. When put into
marble the monument will be known
as the Navy arch, commemorating all
American sea captains and the men
behind the guns. The arch is unques-
tionably the most wonderful work OF
art ever produced in six weeks.

Torreon, Mex, Oct. 31.-The civil

bankruptcy. This company is said to
be one of the wealthiest agricultural
corporations in the world. Its farm,
