Governor OF Philippines.

New York, Feb. ~3.-According to the
Washington correspondent of the Trib-
une, President Mckinley has decided not
to wait for ngress to act on the matter
Of replacing the military government by
a civil administration in the Philippines,
recognizing that much tim will be con-
sumed in celebrating over details and
before any comprehensive plan for the
government Of the islands can be adopt
ED, and that more than a month will be
required after that time for the officials
to reach their stations. 1t a. been de-
cided, therefore, to send out three, d. at
most five commissioners, to establish
Professionally the form of territorial gov
rnmen recommended in The report Of
the Philippine commission, sem to cor
gress today. According to present in
tentions. the head Of the new commission
is eventually to become the governor Of
the territory of the Philippines, It's Sec
rotary will become the secretary of the
territory and a third member is to be
selected with a view to his qualifications
to becoming the presiding Judge of the
territorial supreme court, when it is es-
tablished.
Among the men who have been al
ready ~canvassed for membership of this
commission are Governor Roosevelt,
President Schurmann, Robert P. Porter,
Colonel DENLY. General Frederick D.
Grant and ex-Minister Barrett. 1t has
been found that Governor Roosevelt and
President Schurmann cannot be induced
to accept. and various objections have
been raised to the others as possible gov
errors. General Grant is most favorably
regarded just now. but it is desired tC
avoid choosing a military man. The lead.
ing man for the secretaryship of the ter.
ritory is said to be John r. Macarthur
secretary of the present commission.
The president has given his hearty ap.
prevail to the recommendations of thu
Philippine commission. especially as K

fore I say I see nothing harmful in col
Iege athletics. AS a matter of fact. l be-
lieve athletics to be of material heneft
to the college as well as TO the student.
In a way they bring the institution more
closely to the attention Of the rising gen
Grafton Of boys-young men or from
eighteen to twenty-five are really boys,
after all. The boys OF twelve, thirteen,
fourteen, interested-as all boys are-m
football, baseball, rowing, ETC., take q
deep interest in the college sports, and as
they grow older a desire to be partici-
pants i'm those sports strengthens With
in them. The result of this is that, IN
addition to the desire to secure the mem
tai advantages resulting from collegiate
training, the boy gets a further bent in
the direction of college through his in
terest in athletics. In consequence the
number Of students is materially IN
creased, and I attribute a very large in
crease in mental development to a primal
interest in college sports.
There will naturally be a certain
amount of ~roughness attached to these
sports, particularly football. We have
only football and baseball at Prince
ton, and so I am more familiar with
these. While there have been acct
dents in the past, some of them very
unpleasant, looking at the matter from
a broad standpoint, I see no reason why
any restrictions should be imposed upon
college athletes that do not already exist,
I believe that 10th football and baseball
are beneficial to the college men, and I
do not believe that. as a rule, it affects
their standing in their studies otherwise
than advantageously. I mean by this
that a man who is studiously inclined is
not hindered in his studies by athletics;
I am equally aware that some who were
interested in athletics would under nc
circumstances be devoted to study.

A FAMOUS

Sir Benjamin Vests picture, "The
Raising of Lazarus which was hung in
Westminster cathedral, England, for over
a century, is said to have been purchased
for New York's new Cathedral OF st.
John the Divine for 81. 800. The trustees
of the cathedral say they know nothing
about the purchase. and believe, IL the
story is true, that some friend intends
to donate the picture. West, who was
born in Pennsylvania in 1888. was among

SCHEME TO COLOMBO BoERs.
Agents of the Afrikanders Considering
Proposition to Settle Their Country
men In Louisiana and Texas.

Chicago, July THE Record to-day
says: Land and immigration agents
of the Southern Pacific railroad are
figuring for colonizing Beers in unset
tied territory in western Louisiana
and eastern Texas. Agents of the
Afrikanders are in this country con-
sidering propositions for colonizations
and conditions connected Herewith.
The fact that the general climate of
Louisiana and Texas is much warmer
and better adapted to the conditions
of the Dutch farmers than that of the
northern sections of the United States
have been of such weight with the
Boer agents, and it is said that deal
whereby thousands of the Afrikanders
will invade the southern states within
the next few months for a peaceful
conquest of soil is practically settled.
The Southern Pacific, it is reported,
practically has offered to give the
lands to the settlers and to do every
thing within its power to develop the
country.

Canton, O., July THE home city
of the president yesterday accorded
to his colleague on the republican ma
tional ticket an ovation almost I'M
precedented in Canton. 1t would be
hard to say whether the citizens of
Canton voiced a more demonstrative
welcome to President Mckinley or
Gov. Roosevelt. yet it may be said
with truth that Canton did not dis
criminate in yesterdays demonstra-'
ton, the first occasion on which the
republican candidates for president
and vice president personally met.
President Mckinley and Gov. Roose-
welt were in conference most of the
evening. but nothing could be learned
as to the matters discussed. The gov
ernor left for New York at 10: so. He
refused to discuss the Kansas City
platform or the candidates.

What the Glorious Fourth Did for tho
People of the United States-Loss
Caused by Fireworks.

Chicago, July By the use of fire
arms, toy cannon, giant crackers and
other forms of explosives, 80 persons
were killed and 1926 injured in
the Fourth of July celebrations in
various cities. The toy pistol and the
toy cannon are shown to have done
as deadly execution as sometimes
has been done in war by those loaded
with bullets and canister and aimed
to kill. Sky rockets, anvil and pow
der explosions and the premature
discharge of Fourth of July cannon
help to complete the list of mishaps.
In several instances people were killed
through runaway accidents. A fire
loss of $123,325 was caused by the
fireworks in addition to the injury to
human life.

King brought Prentis to Kansas in
1860 and put him to work on the old
Topeka Record. He edited the Com
m6nwealth several years under Father
Baker; the Lawrence Journal several
years under Dwight Thacher; the At
Gibson Champion several years under
John A. Martin, and the Junction
City Union several years under George
w. Martin. He edited the Newton Re
publican, and for nearly ten years he
has been one of the principal editors
of the Kansas City Star. On the oc-
casion of the extraordinary religious
revival in the city of Lawrence, con-
Quoted by the revivalist, Hammond,
in 1872, Prentis, in common with some
$500 other citizens, took more af-
fectionate view of church work and
after that he was a frequent occu-
pant of some of the most prominent
pulpits in the state. Few finer SER
mons were ever preached than those
delivered by Prentis in DR.. Cordley's
church at Lawrence, DIR. McCabes
church at Topeka, and in John A. An
derson's church at junction City.
Later on, when Prentis was editing
the Atchison Champion, while he did
not do much preaching himself, he
frequently wrote sermons which were
delivered by Rev. Mr.. Phillip Krohn
and other star pulpit speakers in that
city. 1t is alleged that Prentis wrote
the famous Thanksgiving sermon and
other sermons which caused DR..
Krohn, who delivered them, so much
trouble

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
Omce-H Holders and Passes.

A. L. Williams, general attorney for
the Union Pacific railroad. knocks
against office-holders riding on rail-
road passes. He frankly admits that
the roads do not give them passes as
a matter of courtesy but in order to
keep them good" and says that
law should be passed prohibiting
office-holders from accepting passes.
Such a law, he declares, the railroads
would like to see enacted. This is the
way he puts it:
kansas needs a law prohibiting
oficeholders from accepting railroad
passes. Public servants, as rule.
are paid better than any other class
of laborers, and there is no reason
why they should strike the railroads
for favors. 1t isn't courtesy that
prompts a railroad company to give
free transportation to judges, legis-
lators and other officials with their
raft of political helpers and kin; it is
to keep them good A Kansas rail-
road attorney is authority for. the
statement that during one session of
the legislature, when an important
railroad bill was pending, he had re-.
quests for 1000, 1000 miles of transport
tation. Did the men who made the re-
quests believe they were entitled to
the transportation as matter of
courtesy? Not much. They simply
worked their graft. The state pays
the fare of those who travel in the
performance of their duties, and those
who CAD for fun should be compelled
to buy tickets. like the people who
elected them have to do. 1t is said
that the railroads really want an anti
pass law. but are slow to suggest it,
the army of passholders is so big, and
has so much 'fuence."
