RETAIN THE PHILIPPINES

Boston, Mass. June 2O.-Mr. John Barrett United States minister to Siam during the Cleveland administration, spoke before the Boston chamber of commerce this after noon regarding the Philippines and the ex- tension Of United States trade in the far east. He said fin part:

HER MERCHANT MARINE
The Russian Government Taking Steps
 to Increase It

Washington, June 2O.-The Russian gov- ernment, from information received by the bureau of navigation. is preparing meas ures for the early development of its mer- chant marine.
 Although there are only 240 Russian steamships of over 2.OOO tons and of them only four are over II knots, the Russian government during 1898 expended over $1 00O,0 GOO on its sea-going steamers. To in- crease its navigation on the Pacific the Russian government for the next ten years will pay Suez canal duties as the Austrian government has done for some time, on merchant steamships. The restriction of the coasting trade of the empire, whether the ports are on the Baltic or Black Seas or the Pacific, will not affect apprecably American navigation as for the last two years no America vessels have entered this country or cleared for European Russia, and last year only four American sailing vessels entered from and cleared for Rus sian ports on the Pacific.

FOR STEALING A COW
Will Bohannon Locked Up in the City
 Prison

Will Bohannon, negro, was arrested by Officers Disheroon and Armstrong yester- day charged with stealing a COW. Bohan- non was seen with a fine Jersey COW and young calf trying to sell them for s12.5O
 When questioned by the officers the ne- gro said that MT. Jones, who lived out of town, owed him some money and told him to bring the COW to town and sell her for $2O00. He said further that he was tired of trying to sell, and told Will Collins if he would give him $125 for her he would buy c pair of shoes and go on back home
 This story did not sound very plausible to the officers, so the negro, COW and calf were taken to the city prison. The COW is hitched outside while the negro has been given a cell within the walls.
 Early last night no one had called for the COW. The officers say she Is worth about 5000.
