PHILIPPINE AFFAIRS
ORDER OF SAILING

Manila. Dec. 23.-The Philippine
commission has appinted II. Phelps
Whitmarsh governor and Otto Scherer
secretary of the province of BenSret.
Mr.. Whitmarsh has been here two
years, principally engaged as n news
nrper correspondent, and has resided
latterly at Baguim, which will be the
seat Of government and is the central
point of the region. Mr.. Scherer is n
German who has lived many years in
the Philippines. five of which have
been passed in the province of Benguit
where for long time he was the only
white man. He speaks the native Ian
guage and several European tongues
fiuently, and is intimate with the Igor
rotes.
The amended platform of the recent
ly organized autonomy party advocat-
ed that half of the territorial senators
shall be elected and half appointed by
the governor general. The latter shall
also appoint the judges and the mum
icipal governments shall be similar to
those of the United States. The cap
tured document, it is expected, will
be formally adopted at n private meet
ing of the loyal Filipino leaders to-
day and published in Manila on Mon
day.
The early passage of the army bill
will result in the transportation of all
volunteers and regulars in transports
without chartering other vessels and
without leaving the towns unprotected.
The order of sailing is as follows:
Thirty-seventh infantry, Eleventh
cavalry, ThirtysiXth. Thirty-fourth,
Twenty-seventh. Thirteth, Twenty
sixth infantry; Thirtythird. Twenty
second. Twentyninth. Thirty-fifth,
Twenty-eighth. Thirty-frst. Thirty

The two-horned white rhinoceros of
Africa is considered one of the rarest
of animals. For years needless sports
men slaughtered the species until it
was thought to have been exterminat-
ed. Some time ago six specimens were
discovered in remote corner of Mash
onaland, and a hunting expedition was
organized which resulted in four much
desired mountings being secured by
museums. 1t was again concluded that
the white rhinoceros had been exter-
minated, but recently Mai. Gibbons of
the British army ran across a stray
specimen in the Nile region and shot
1t. This Andrew Carnegie succeeded
in buying for the Carnegie museum of
Pittsburg, and 1t is a most desirable
curio, for besides being exceedingly
rare, it is said to be fine mounting
standing six feet high at the shoulders
and measuring thirteen feet from the
tip of the nose to the root OF the tail
The discovery of a new gutta percha
is reported from Zanzibar. 1t is OBJ
tained from tree. When the bark is
cut white fluid exudes, which when

a substance resembling gutta percha.
AS the material cools it becomes ex-
ceedingly hard, but while soft can be
nodded into any desired shape. The
fruit of the tree resembles a peach in
shape, but grows to the size of a small
melon. The tree. is said to abound II
