LET HIN DOWN EASY
HOW THE GOVERNMENT MAY DIS
POSE OF THE SITUATION IN
THE PHILIPPINES
DIVISIONS ARE SUGGESTED

Each Section of the Islands to BE
in Charge of q Major GenernI-De-
partment Commanders viii Then
Be Given All the Troops Needed
to Restore and Maintain Order
Chinese Exclusion Middle.
WASHINGTON, Sept. pa plan is I'M
der consideration at the war department
to create an army division Of the Phil
ippines and divide the division into de-
partments, on basis similar to that in
Cuba. The idea is to create four depart
ments in the Philippines, at least three Of
them to be commanded by major gen.
erals. The Philippines heretofore have
been known as the department Of the
Pacific. 1t is said that one department
Of the proposed new division will consist
of Gen. MacArthur's command, north Of
Manila; another will be Gen. Lawtons
command south of Manila, and a third
will be new command, to operate from
Lingayen Of Dagupen. A fourth depart
ment probably will consist of troops in
the island south of Manila, which include
thu commands now at Iloilo, Cebu and
other points.
The scheme has not yet taken such def
mite form as to determine the commands
of the division and departments. There
is little doubt, however, that Gems. Law
ton and Macarthur will remain where
they now are, and probably the command
in the island south will be under brig
adler general. Another officer will have
to be selected for the department in the
far northern part Of the island, at the
terminus Of the Dagupen railroad. The
plan is to give each department comman-
de- all the troops that can be success
fully operated, and also insure sufficient
garrisons for all points taken. Protection
to the peaceable tribes is one Of the chief
objects sought, as representations made
to the war department indicate that many
of the inhabitants do not want to fight,
and if unmolested and relieved from fear
Of attack by the Tagals, will assist in
supporting the authority of the United
States, and made it impossible for the
followers Of Aguinaldo to subsist.

ANSWERING HIS OWN QUESTION.

Whatever may come of the prevailing
difficulty between England and the Trans
vaal republic, there is one little circum-
stance which ought not to be lost sight
of in trying to get at the right OF the
controversy: English financiers and poll
ticians have always shown the possession
of a keen scent for gold.
Nothing more surely arouses British in
terest in a given territory than the re-
puted existence of gold within that ter
ritory Venezuelan territory assumed
very desirable character in British eyes
some short time ago, the result, as was
generally recognized at the time. Of re-
ported gold discoveries in the territory.
which, thereupon, became the subject of
serious dispute.
So, too in the Klondike at this time.
Does any one believe that the present
claims to territorial ownership in that
bleak region would ever have been put
forward were it not for recent discoveries
there of the yellow metal?
What lends to Britain its present abid-
ing interest in the affairs Of the Trans
vaal? But few years ago there was a
disposition to shuttle off all care from
British shoulders In the affairs of this
uninteresting pastoral people. The con-
vention of "a never was really anything
more than an expression of this same
desire There is not a word about suzer-
ainty in that convention. 1t gave to the
Beers in express terms the fullest con-
trol over their internal affairs. 1t was
only by way Of precaution with refer
enca to Britain's other interests in South
Africa that the restraint was placed by
that convention on the Beers against en-
tering into treaties with other nations.
Since those days there have been large
discoveries of gold within the territorial
limits Of the Transvaal. There are num-
berless mines of gold in that country
which are at the present moment paying
their owners from 10 to 700 per cent in
dividends. The total amount of these
dividends was in 1896, 81, 600; in 1897,
$13, 5OO, eco; in 1898, $24, 45O, OOO
Sir Alfred Miner, the present Trans
vaal commissioner, once answered the
question as to what his policy would be
in the Transvaal by asking his interioc-
utor this question:: eff you saw a solid
pile of gold worth five hundred millions
sterling over. there with 10000 Beers arm
ed to the teeth sitting on 1t, what would
you do?"
Those Americans who are neither i'm
perialists nor Anglo-maniacs must be
pardoned if they are disposed to believe
that Sir Alfred Miner and the Rt
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain are quite busy
just at this time in showing what the
true answer should be to the former gen
tlenan's question.

Business Situn4ion.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-R. G. Dun 3
Co.'S weekly review Of trade will saw:
The reaction in the stock market Is NOT
a sign Of anything outside that market
cut has set many to look for signs of a
ieaclioh elsewhere. Such signs have
been hard to find. 1t has been for
months wonder that the demand for
products was sustained at rates exceed
ing past consumption in any year. not
Wlthstanding the general rise in prices
put the demand does not appear to
abate and the rise in prices continues. A
partial explanation is that scarcely any
class OF products directly consumed hy
individuals has advanced as much as the
wages and employment of labor With
more hands at work, more hours and
at LII 10 10 per cent higher wages the
gain in purchasing power has been quite
beyond the rise of per cent in boots
and shoes this year, or per cent in
leather, 5.2 per cent in wooden goods, or
l0,9 per cent in wool, and even beyond
! the rise of II per cent in cotton goods
mainly due to the rise of IS per cert
! in cotton But products used in manu-
featuring and transporting have ad-
VaEced much more because Of the an.
| t1clpated business for the future High
er prices cause shrinking demand, other
things being equal, but this year other
things are not equal.
When men pay SO to SIS per ton more
than the latest quoted price for iron
products in order to get early deliveries
1t is because delay is threatene on
works, or railroads, or bridges, vessels
or machinery, promising a net profit
many times the cost of a small fraction
of the material. In such circumstances
as in much of the reconstruction and
expansion now going on, present cost
counts for little compared with the
earning power of the finished product
in time like this Bessemer and an
thracite pig are unchanged, grey forge
at Pittsburg and Chicago and Southern
iron are higher bars 50 per ton higher,
and plates So per ton, and rails 81 per
ton. Most of the business is for next
year, with premiums paid for more
speedy delivery! "a
Prices for prints have been cut one
quarter cent for indigo blues, but other
wise the demand IS strong. The Ameri-
can Wooden company has announced that
the whole production of all it's worsted
mills has been sold, which may give m
expected opportunities for other mills
It's contracts for good quantity of
new machinery indicate a belief that
within lis field the demand for goods
will much exceed the capacity of its
works. Prices have been firm. with
wool somewhat stronger since the gem
eral advance at London sales. Sales
at the three chief markets were Il, 443, SEQ
pounds.
Failures for the week have been 154
in the United States, against 173 last

CHICAGO, Sept. PA plan which 1t
is believed will settle the difference over
the having of the cornerstone of the new
Chicago postof7ice was presented today
in the shape of an offer from Judge
Tuthill, representing" the local q. a. X,
to secure a stone cut by union labor
Judge Tuthill declared to the labor lead
ers that the old soldiers would defray the
cost of getting a new stone and would
use It's influence in settling existing off
ferences. This proposition was received
favorably by the majority of the labor
men. a minority remaining sncncommtttal,
preferring to hold their voices till the
meeting which will be held tonight. At
this conference of the labor people the
question OF calling q general strike On
the postoffice in sympathy with the ma
sons refusing to lay brick for the founda-
ton of the non-union cornerstone, or ac-
cepting the offer Of the local G. A R,

MASSACHUSETTS HAS BLINDERED
There is nothing to commend in the ac-
ton of the Democratic state conven-
ton of Massachusetts in selecting dele
gates to the next national convention. 1t
is still at least nine months before that
convention will be held. The city of the
gathering has not been selected, and
much platform material may develop In
the months which are to elapse before
the assembling of the national body.
Massachusetts-old, conservative Massa-
chusetts-ought to have waited at least
until next March before naming the men
who are to represent the Bay state in
the national convention. Presidents are
not made in haste, and much is usually
to be gained by calm and circumspect
action Massachusetts has made mis-
take which, let us hope, not another
state in the Union will feel called upon to
follow.

,iations from that level were

extra variations from that level were
less marked.
The pressure to liquidate speculative
holdings of stocks has at times been
severe, the most significant illustrations
of this having been afforded by the
course Of Brooklyn Rapid Transit and
the other Flower stocks in the early
part of the week. The decline in prices
and the reduction of the volume of loans
to Wall street has naturally been a fac
tor in assisting the monetary situation.
1t also seems that stocks have been
largely passing from weak into strong
hands. while the movement Of the past
fortnight has made bears of the profess

larger short interest than the market
has possessed for some time.

ton uncovered the fact that the native
was acting as an agent for an American
soldier, who captured the gun in action,
and wanted to dispose of it at govern
ment figures to the military authorities.
In view of the Discrimination Of the ma
ttves to sell their guns it is evident that
the revolution is not so much confined
TO the upper ranks as has been believed.
Were the soldiers not in sympathy with
their superior officers it is said by army
officers that they would certainly have
surrendered, in at least small numbers,
as they have ample opportunity to reach
the American lines without detection.

Birdie Anderson, the colored woman,
arrested upon a telegram received by
Chief Of Police Goss from the st. Louis
police department, asking that she be
placed under arrest to answer to the
charge Of highway robbery, alleged to
have been committed there, appeared be-
fore Judge Orr in police court, carrying
a four-months' -old baby in her arms. At
torney Donnelly made a hard fight to Sc
cure her release, and the court INDUCED
in few technicalties, holding that as in
fcrnla ton had been filed, a hearing
should take place to determine what facts
the local police had upon which to make
ali arrest. Officer Christian testified that
he was shown a telegram by Chief Goss,
and detailed to make the arrest. He fur
ther alleged that the woman had told
him that she had been arrested in st.
Louis for the crime charged, although not
guilty, and had jumped her bail. The
court held that the telegram from ST.
Louis must be identified as genuine since
local instances had proven that it is pos
sible to receive false kilograms. County
Attorney Bigelow was given time to pro-
duce proof Of the genuineness of the
message.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22-Bradstreets

of the pressure which the stock market
had expected during the past fortnight
from this cause The decline of ex-
change rates. and news that about $780,

The threatening aspect of the Trans

that while the danger of war In Sou h
