HORSES DROWNED.
E. CLARK, IFS, Team, Lost lu the
Ohio River.

A valuable team Of horses belonging
to e. Clark, Jr., the oil man, were
drowned in the Ohio river just off the
West Side landing Saturday afternoon
at four o'clock. The driver, whose
name is Becker, narrowly escaped
death.
The horses were used in doing heavy
hauling between here and Mr.. Clark's
oil property at Moore's Junction, and
when the driver brought them to the
city during the afternoon, he drove
them into the river at the West Side
landing to wash the mud off their legs.
He drove out too far and the current
caught the horses and wagon and
quickly carried them out into the icy
waters In the middle of the river,
where they disappeared from sight. 1t
was almost miraculous that the driver
escaped with his life.
The team was bay and gray, and
were valued at $500. The wagon adds
another $100 to the loss.

Federal Authorities VIII Let Them
Fight IL Out Alone ia Kentucky.
Washington, February 2.-Nearly the
entire time Of the cabinet meeting today
vas taken up in discussion OF the
stu alton In Kentucky and the rights and
duties of the President in connection
Herewith.
Almost immediately upon ths reoeipt
of Gov. Taylor's message last night, the
President took up the question and CON-
suited authorities on points with which
he was not familiar. A decision was
reached and when Ssnstor-eleot Black
burn with Representatives Rhsa, Allen,
Gilbert, smith and Wheeler called this
morr ing to protest against federal Inter
ferenca In Kentucky, the President
promptly gave them to understand that
he had already reached a conclusion on
the subjsot and he had found that the
situation did not warrant the fedora
authorities in interfering. This decision
was announced to the cabinet Immediate
~ upon Its converting. Attorney Gen.
eral Grigas, Secretary Root and the other
lawyers Of the cabinet sustained the Pres.
ident's conclusions. The law which
must govern In this case authorizes fed
eral action only when the Legislators is
not in session and cannot be convened.
Gov. Taylor's message does not intimat g
that the leg islators Of the state cannot
be promptly convened. IT does he show
that the conditions in Frankfort are such
as would justify federal Intervention.
The President and the members Of his
cabinet without exception. recognize this
act that the Legislature Of Kentucky by 9
majority thereof is the sole judge of
which of the two contestants was elected

are there and duty binds rs to remain.
There Is no escape from our responsibility
to the Filipinos and to mankind for the
governments Of the archipelago. and the
amelioration OF the condition Of the In.
hAbitants.
Second-The Fiiipines are wholly un-
prepared for Independence and II indie
pendsncs were given to them they could
not maintain It.
Under the third head IL included copy
of Admiral Dewey's letter to Senator
Lodge which was read In the Senate the
othsr day denying Aguinaido's claim that
he was promised Independence.
Fourth-TherW being no Philippine
nation. but only coll ection Of different
peoples. there Is no general public opin-
Ion in the archipelago, but the men II
property and education. who alone In
tsrest themselves In public affairs in gen.
eral recognize as Indispensable American
authority. guidance and protection.
Eifth-Congress should, at the earliest
practicable time, provide for the Philip
pines, the form OF government herein
recommended or another equally liberal
aud benefioient.
Sixth-Pending any action on the part
Of Congress, the commission recommends
that the President y ut in operation this
scheme of civil government in such parts
of the archipelago rs are at peace.
Seventh. SO far as the finances Of the
Philippines permit, public sduostion
should be promptly established, and whom

Elghth.-The greatest caro- should be
taken In the selection Of officials for ad-
minIstrstion. They should be men Of the
highest character and fitness and partisan

the government of the philippines.
The commission are unable to find any
mems Of assimilating the tariff of the
Philippines with that Of the United
States, saying that the differences are
fundamental and irreooneilabls and that
SO long rs the existing ohasn remains be
tween the economic and social conditions
Of the Philippines and those Of the United
States, so long IL remains impractieaols
to identify their tariffs. They therefore
recommend that for the present at least,
no attsmps be ma ie to re-sdjust the tariff
to our basis.
The plan Of government proposed BY
the commission includes governor APP
