CABINET MEETING.
The Leading Subject Discussed Re
lated to the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Oct, 27.-The Cabi-
net meeting to-day lasted two hours
and half an hour longer than usual.
After the adjournment the members
were unusually reticent. One member
said the President had cautioned them
against making any statement about
the meeting to-day. II can be stated
however, that the discussion related to
the Philippines, and there is season to
believe that it was in reference to mill
itary and naval plans, which are to be
placed in operation soon,
Fully an hour OF the session was con-
sumed in a discussion of the political
outlook, especially in Ohio, some of the
members having received advices from
their friends engaged in the campaign
conveying an accurate statement of ex-
listing conditions.
There was some talk as to the pre-
paration of designs for the new custom
house at New York, but no attempt
was made to- reach a conclusion
The Philippine discussion was
brought about through newspaper pub
locations of recent date purporting to
outline the treaty or arrangement
which General Bates has made with
the Sultan of Sulu. Secretary Root took
and unfairness, as he alleged of the
criticisms which have been put on the
friends of that arrangement, especially
where they relate to the question of
slave holding in the islands.

Married by Dumping Heads.

The marriage customs of the Negu-
los, of the Philippines, are peculiar, ac-
cording to 1.-The Forum" The young
man who seeks a bride first obtains the
favor of her parents and then pur-
sues her, catching her in his arms. She
breaks loose and runs, and does not
yield until he has caught her several
times. Finally he leads her in tri-
umph TO her home. Here her father
drags the youth UP ladder to the floor
of their hut The mother drags up the
maiden.
They are then made to kneel, and
the father pours over them a cocoanut-
shelltul of water. He then bumps their
heads together. and the ceremony is
completed. They spend their honey
moon in the depths of the mountains
and for five days and nights are lost to
sight, after which they come back to
everyday life.
There is another marrige custom
which is worth describing. Instead of
the youth and maiden being dragged up
the hut ladder, they are made to climb
up two saplings that grew near each
other. Then an elder of the group
grasps the saplings and draws them
together until the heads of the young
couple touch, with a kiss or bump,
according to the force used. This makes
them man and wife.

requested to enter into correspondence
with the Archbishop of Canterbury for
the purpose of having spiritual jurisdic-

Light on the River Mystery OF

There seems TO be little doubt that
the mysterious man who calmly COM

Nose Rother, recently from San Fran
cisco.
Rother came to Sacramento last Sat
urday for the purpose of working at
Dr. NJ. S. Jaffe's Sanitary Liquor Store,
but he appeared to be in mental
trouble, probably over a love affair, and
because of business reverses.
He seemed absent minded all day
yesterday" said Dr. Jaffe last night,
and talked to himself a great deal.
He finally left here about o'clock in
the evening and has not appeared since.
Two of my employees identify the hat
at the police station as one just like
his, a pearl fedora
Rother was a well dressed young man
of pleasing manners and good habits.
At one time he was assistant librarian
of the San Francisco Chronicle"
The fact that he left a coat and vest
at his employers. that he did not collect
his wages, and that he should have re-
ported back to his work yesterday. con-
firms the suspicion that he ended his
life in the river.

EXPLORER ANDREE.
His Brother Still Hopes to Receive
Tidings From Him.

MOBILE (Ala.) Oct. 2.-Evelyn B.
Baldwin, the Arctic explorer and OBJ
server in the United States Weather
Bureau, who has been assigned to duty
in this station, has arrived here from
Washington. He has just received a
letter from Captain Ernest Andree OF
Sweden, brother of the Polar aeronaut,
and has given to the Associated
Press, the following extract, precisive
of Andree's confidence in his s'rothers
safety, and his conjectures as to his
whereabouts:
My opinion is that if my brother had
landed anywhere between sc and s.
degrees, north latitude, and 10 or 81
degrees west of 1S0 degrees west
Greenwich meridian), we would have
heard from him. But not having heard
directly from him as to his having
landed, | think he must have come
down to the west of 1S0 degrees, and
between 80 and 81 degrees north. From
80 degrees north and 1S0 degrees west
it is about $50 miles to the nearest
known land, to New Siberia, Taymur
FanZjoSefland, Greenland and the Fairy
Islands. At the same rate in progress
made by Nansen of three miles, il
would take him two years TO reach
the coast of the Parry Islands, and
another year before he could commune
cate with civilization. My brother sew
eral times expressed his wish to exam
inc the ocean north of the Parry ISL
ands.
THE last one of my brothers buoys
was found on the north coast of Ice
| land. Lately, however, another has
been found on the north coast of king
Charlesland, east of Spitzbergen. FIe
had with him twelve buoys, eleven
small ones and a large one, the latter
one being thrown out when the balloon
was as far north as the expedition ex-
pected to reach.
IF the expedition reached 80 or 8.
degrees north and 90 or 100 degrees
east, and then got northerly winds, II
is most likely they would have thrown
the buoy, not expecting to go any more
to the north. But the wind might have
changed in a few hours again to the
south or southwest, and thus have car
ried the balloon to 81 or SO degrees
north and 90 degrees west of 1S0 de-
grees. Here they may have landed in
the unexplored region, previous tc
reaching which they may have sailed
| backward and forward several times
Remember that the balloon sailed fif-
teen or sixteen miles an hour during
the first three hours.
Il do not put the least faith in any
of the many reports, with the excep-
ton, of course, of the pigeon message
and the two buoys. I do not expect to
| hear anything more this year, but ex-
pect to hear all the more next sum
mer"

Murder of Rosa Baago.

MARTINEZ, Oct. 27.-An inquest on
the remains of Rosa Baago the young
girl who was decapitated on Sheep ISL
and, was held at San Pablo to-day.
The testimony was conclusive as to the
mother being the author of the crime.
Witnesses who knew her well sWore
that she had never shown traces of in
sanity, and none of her family had
been afflicted in that way. The hus-
band testified that after making an
agreement to separate he had turned
over all his property to his wife. The
verdict of the jury was that the child
came to it's death at the hands of its
mother. No trace of Mrs. Baago, who
is believed to have drowned herself, has
been found
