tratiOn of voters for the coming election

From the country districts reports equally
indicative of big vote are received.
Last year the total vote was 793. 169. Bas-
ing the increase in registration on this, cal

an experiment of a seven-day church. 1t
will be in the nature Of missionary work,
and all services will be in the Wabash
Avenue Church The plans are not COM

ious nature, but will include lectures, con-
ccrts and social gatherings in the church
and later will embrace a literary and read
ing room and other features.
The Wabash Avenue Church has two
preachers, II. F. Ward and 6. D. Cleworth
both young men, who will have charge of
the new work, as well as all services con-
nected with the church.
Wealthy MethOdists of Chicago are be

itself and if successful 1t is said that it
will be adopted in other sections of the

MARINES GOING TO MANILA.
Two Hundred From the Barracks Will
Leave for San Francisco Wednesday.


A detachment of 200 members Of the
United States Marine Corps, at present sta
toned at the Marine barracks, this city,
will depart Wednesday afternoon for Ma
Mia. The party includes many Washington
boys, and it is expected that there will be
a large turnout of citizens to give the men
in unifol m a fitting farewell.

will be in readiness. The marines will
proceed by rail to San Francisco, and there
take transport for the Philippines. Capt.
Herbert l.. Draper, U. S. NJ. c., will be in
command.
In view of the fact that the marines will
have long and tedious trip from here to
San Francisco by rail- not to mention the
ocean voyage afterward, the suggestion
has been made by some of the friends of
the enlisted men that the people of Wash
ington help them out with enough reading

of more or less recent date, novels, short
stories and the like would most certainly
be appreciated They could be sent to the
train at 9th street and Maryland avenue
Wednesday between l and O'Clock, or, ii
they were sent to Capt. Draper at the navy
yard tomorrow he would doubtless see to
1t that they are put aboard the train and
distributed among the men.

Lighters Needed in the Philippines.
Owing TO the need of government light
ers in the Philippines, there is thought of
changing the naval dispatch boat Zafiro
for the Siberian steamer kwonchi. The Ia
fro is considered much the better boat, but
the other craft is particularly serviceable
for unloading transports in Manila bay, and
is now under charter by the quartermas-
ter's department for that work. The Ia
fro was formerly a merchant ship in the
oriental service. but was bought prior to
the departure of Admiral Dewey from Hong
Kong for the decisive blow against Manila.
VI lille the plan of exchange has been
mooted, the authorities here may not ap
prove of it, in which case the quartermaS
ters department Will probably purchase
outright lighters suitable for unloading sup
plies from the transports.
Customs Collector at Manila.
It is expected that the important place of
collector of customs at Manila will be filled
by Col. William F. Spurgin of the 18th In
fantry. The place was recently made va
cant by the death Of Col. Miley, and until
permanent assignment for the post is
made. Capt. B. ]. Baker of the 18th Infan-
try is acting collector of customs.
Alleged Smuggling by Soldiers.
The officials here are paying no attention
to occasional suggestions that some of the
homecoming soldiers from the Philippines
are bringing cigars and other articles OF
luxury, mainly for their own use. AT the
same time the customs authorities at the
ports of entry are compelled, under the
law, to impose the customs duties, without
reference to any patriotic sentiment which
might ordinarily relieve the soldiers. and
for that reason the officers at Manila are
taking care that the men who leave for this
country do not incumber themselves with
articles which may be subject to heavy
duties or to seizures.
Extending the Civil Power.
Word has peen received of the further eX-
tension of civil administration in the towns
adjacent to Manila. These include Pasig,
Taguig and Pateros, where elections have
been held under the direction of the mill
tary officials in order to secure a full quota
OF native officers to carry on the civil af-
fairs of the towns. An order from the
commander of the Sth Army Corps also
directs the election of a new mayor at
linus, as the one formerly chosen has failed
to exercise his functions of late, and is
thought to have gone over to the insur-
gents
