Much grumbling is heard in Manila
because American silver is not received
at the custom house, nor is American
gold or bank notes. The existing GUS
tom house regulations require that all
customs shall be paid in Philippine cur
rency. This leaves no option for Of
ficials, but as long as there is a change
or fluctuation in the relative values of
gold and silver any official who accepts
in any unauthorized currency is liable
to be called upon to pay the difference
out of his own pocket. The postoffice,
on the other hand, will not accept cur
rency which is compulsory at the GUS
tom house unless the stamp buyer is
willing to be penalizel heavily. Manila
papers say the situation thus caused
is most ridiculous and intolerable, and
regulations must be modified quickly.

FRENCH FISHERMAN KILLED
British Gunboat Fired Upon a Poach-
ing Vessel.

FOLKsTONE, Eng, Aug. 9.-The Brit
lsh torpedo gunboat Leda this morning
found French fishing boat, the EtoilIe
de Mer, belonging to Boulogne-Sur-Mer
nshlng within the three-mile limit. The
hshermen attempted to escape. and did
not stop when blank shot was fired The
Leda then fired a shot which the disabled
the Etoille de Mer and killed her helms
man The fishing boat was afterwards
toWed to this port with the body Of her
helmsman on deck
The arrival of the Etoille de Mer caused
much excitement, where IS is hoped the
regrettable incident will draw attention
to the serious inroads made by foreign
fishermen in British waters.
The admiralty authorities express ex-
treme surprise at the fact that the fish
Ing boat disregarded the Leda's signal
to heave to, and in the absence of the
official report, they assume that the COM
mander of the Leda only resorted to dras-
tic measures when other means were in
efrectual. The captain of the Etoille de
Mer has been arrested.
The coroner's inquest upon the body of
the helmsman resulted in a verdict of ac-
cidental death, the jury generating the
officers of the Leda.

bine Case Begun.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-The subcommittee
of the national industrial commission ap-
pointed to investigate agricultural condi-
tOns met here today and took up the in
Vestigation of the alleged elevator trust.
The charges of an elevator combine
have been brought by farmers in the
Northwest, who allege that a combina-
ton exists between the elevator interests
and the railroads for the control of the
visible supply of grain and for its
handling in general. 1t Is alleged that
the railroads make better rates to the eie-
Vator people than to the receivers, thus
enabling them to make better prices on
grain.
Todays session of the subcommittee
which was called to order by Chairman
Andrew L. Harris, of Ohio, was held be-
hind closed doors, at the request of John
Hill Jr., of the Chicago board of trade,
who was called for the first witness
Mr.. Hill gave the committee a general
outline of the situation, reading copies
of agreements, contracts ETC., tending to
show that the farmer was treated unfair
ly in the disposition of his grain He
also gave the opinions of board of trade
men on the subject
This afternoon an open session was held
and several other witnesses examined.
Among the witnesses who are expected to
appear before the committee during its
session in Chicago are S. H. Greely; w.
H. Burke, editor of the Farmers Voice:
W. R. Hostetter, of Springfield, Ill, sec

JIMINEZ IS CONFIDENT.
Expresses Belief That San Domingo
Is Practically His.

Is Practically His.
HAVANA, Aug. 9.-Gen. Juan Isidro
Jiminez, the aspirant to the presidency
of San Domingo, said today, in the course
of an interview, that funds are being
daily l.laced to his credit III Paris. and
that lie had refused over SGU0 offers Of
service on the part of Cuoans and Ameri-
cans who were ready to pay their ex-
penses. In reply to these offers he had
asserted that he had neither need nor de-
sire to organize expeditions. Today, he
said, he had received advices that two
more Dominican generals had declared
themselves in his favor, with following
of 800 men.
Dominican government paper Gen. Jim
inez says, is unsaleable. Men of all col
ors in SantO Domingo are joining his
cause, but most of his generals are col
ored, the proportion of black to white
being two to one.
When questioned regarding a dispatch
from Cape Haytien, published by the
Discussion, representing that the Haytian
government Is unfavorable to his preten-
sions, and is prepared to prevent him
from landing on Haytian territory, Gen.
Jiminez replied that the Iaytian govern
ment was in a very rotten condition.
The revenue of the Dominican republic,
under a good government, should be, he
estimates, not less than S2,h00, ,9OG an
amount more than enough to meet the
governmental expenses and The interest
on the public debt. When he attains the
presidency he hopes to go ahead promptly
with public works, and tc carry on ether
necessary improvements, but he insists
that "the first necessity OF Santo Do
mingo is honest men in her udministra-
ton.
AS to the possibility that the existing
government may prevent his entering the
country, he ridiculcs it, as to quote his
words. "Santo Domingo is practically

works Of Rudyard Kipling. Some time
ago the Sunday school purchased num-
Der Of new books for its library from
Methodist publishers at Cincinnati, and
as these books came from what is regard
ed as the fountain head of pure literature
little attention was paid to several vol
umes that were thrown in for good meas
ure Among these was Kipling's Drums
Of the Fore and Aft" which finally came
into the family of q man who declared
that it was fairly reeking with pro-
family and the most outrageous slang"
Forufying himself with numerous ques-
tions he went before the Sunday school
authorities, and as a result, the offending
book was thrown out of the library, and
the Sunday school was placed on record
as very decidedly against recommending
Kiplng for juvenile readers.
