Chaplin Shields Dismissed.
The Erratic Minister Discharged From the
United States Service.

A Washington special says: Post
Chaplain David H. Shields, who was
appointed from Altoona, Pa, has
been dismissed from the army of the
United States, to take effect on the
Ist proximo, and Rev. Edmund T..
Esterbrook, of New York, has been
selected for appointment to the
vacancy. The action in the case of
Chaplain Shields was the result of
court-martial proceedings. He was
tried at San Francisco for conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man, in consequence of the alleged
use of intoxicating liquors, and was
convicted and sentenced to be dis
missed. The case came before the
president in the course of procedure
and he approved the sentence Thurs
day, directing it to take effect on the
Ist proximo.

TAFT FOR PRESIDENT
Mckinley Names Head OF the
Philippine Commission.
NAY Be GOVERNOR GENERAL.
Judgeship of the United states Cir
cult Court Resigned to Accept
Appointment-Other Prob
able Members.

WASHINGTON, Feb 1.-Willam II.
Taft of Cincinnati, judge of the United
States circuit court, has resigned to be
appointed chairman of the commission
that will be sent to the Philippines to es-
tablish civil government
The appointment of Judge Taft marks
the first selection for the new Philippine
commission. There will be five members
on the commission, and all of them will
be civilians. Mr.. Schurman, president of
the existing commission. has declined for
business reasons to remain on the COM
mission, so Judge Taft will be president
in his place. Mr.. DENLY and Professor
Worcester have been invited to accept re-
appointments, but so far have not signi
fed their intentions. Admiral Dewey
will not go back to Manila, and General
Otis will give way, like him, to u civilian.
Secretary Root said that no instructions
had been framed for the new commission
as yet, but il would be easy to perceive
from the sentiments set out in the presi-
dents message what these instructions
would be-
Judge Taft called at the war depart
ment, in company with Judge Day, late
secretary of state, and had n long talk
with Secretary Root as to the plans for
the commission. AS some surprise has
been caused by the willingness of Judge
Taft to surrender life position of the
dignity and emolument of United States
circuit judge to join the commission it
may be said that the prevalent impress
sion is that as soon as the commission
shall have succeeded in replacing the eX-
isting military government in the Philip
pines with stable civil governments Judge
Taft will be named as the first civil gov
ernor general of the archipelago. 1t is
not thought that this change will take
place at once, but the commission is eX-
pected to move steadily toward that OBJ
ject and to set up local civil governments
as fast as the FilipiDos shall demonstrate
their worthiness.
William III. Taft is a son of the late
Judge Alphonso Taft, who was attorney
general under Grant, and a brother of
eX-Congressman Charles +. Taft, proprie-
tor of The Times-Star. He was born in
Cincinnati in 1857. He graduated at
Yale in 1878 and at the Cincinnati Law
school in 1880. He has been prosecuting
attorney, internal revenue collector, coun-
ty solicitor, superior judge in the state
courts, solicitor general of the United
States and judge of the United States
court of appeals. In 1886 he married
Helen II. Heron, daughter of former
United States District Attorney John w.
Heron Of this city.

Buchanan it is Believed has Gone West.

The friends of Alex. Buchanan, who
mysteriously disappeared from his
home, at Central'a more than a week
since, now think that he has gone
west. They no longer believe that
he has been murdered, and his body
thrown into mire breach somewhere
in the wilds of the Shamokin mining
district. They have exhausted every
effort to find trace of him there, and
can not even find that he was in that
district on Saturday, in fact, the only
trace that they have of him is that he
bought a ticket at Mt. Carmel for
Sha nokln on Saturday morning. He
may not have gone any further than
Alaska, and there taken train on the
P. & R. for some point in the west.
This his people now believe that he
has done, and they have decided to
let the future determine whether they
are nornght.

REFORMS IN CUBA.
Governor wood Makes Suggestions
to the Cabinet.

HAVANA, Feb. 7.-General Wood held
a cabinet meeting yesterday which lasted
three hours behind closed doors. Senor
Nillalon. secretary of public works, ex-
planned the reason of his order regarding
the contract between the Pan-American
Express company and the United rail
way. This contract he denounced as IAN
unholy violation of the peoples rights"
He said that a man recently took Il train
at Cienfuegos for Havana, having with
him typewriting machine The latter
he was compelled to give over to an en-
ployee of the railroad, who insisted on
expressing it. In another instance a wo-
man who attempted to board train with
a couple of chickens was similarly treat
ed. Senor Nillalon cited numerous other
cases of like nature.
General Wood said the only question
was whether the present law gave him
power td act. The entire matter will be
Immediately referred to Washington for
a final opinion.
The cabinet decided to establish large
modern hospitals at various points in the
island, and an expert will be brought
from the United States to advise in the
selection of sites and the construction of
buildings.
An agricultural school will be establish
ed at Puerto Principe. A commission is
to be named to investigate the charitable
institutions and properties of the island,
which Senor Varona, secretary of finance,
estimates to be worth $l5.0O0,0O0.
For the first time in months Havana is
clear of yellow fever. No case has been
officially reported for some days.
Five thousand men are on strike in the
II. 10. al .,s ~
says the question is whether the unions
have a right to dictate to the employers
as to whom they shall employ and whom
they shall not employ. The unions want
the factory owners to discharge the Span
iards. Herr Book has received many let
ters from the men asking him to try to
break up the unions, as their influence is
tyrannous. He believes the strike will be
over by the end OF the week.

London WAR Experts"

The war between Briton and Boer
has created new and apparently
profitable profession in London,
where every newspaper has war
expert" whose oracles are read
with breathless reverence, and
cabled to remote corners of the
earth at enormous expense. Just
how the war expert has obtained
knowledge and authority sufficient
to bring the British public to his
feet is not apparent, but his prin-
cipal duty seems to be to read the
meagre dispatches the wrong way,
surmise great deal, and then stick
his interpretations and surmises
together by the wrong ends, thus
evolving a system of warfare no
sane man ever dared dream of. U.s.
ually he overhows with caustic criti-
cism, he talks big about "incom-
potency" and has a mighty poor
opinion of the brave men at the
front who are doing the fighting
and patiently taking all the hard
knocks. He always knows better
plan than the one in operation, and
his hindsight is highly developed.
During our recent turnup with
the Don, we had STACEY boards
organized and doing a thrilling
business at corner groceries in
every enterprising village in the
the land. But the work of these
industrious debators was purely a
labor of love, their ample product
was strictly for home consumption
and nobody had to pay cent for
enlightenment on the art Of war.
These London chaps are too
sharp to waste their wierd product
ions on the desert air. By some
dark magic they have induced hard
headed British editors to pay fat
salaries for a choice lot of trash.
The newspaper readers have been
gulled into thinking that his bold
tone betokens knowledge, and the
"war ex pert" wakes ponderous and
important.
It is rather hard to understand
what excuse war expert has for
staying i'll London and shedding
ink at the present stage OF the
game. There seems to be rather
brisk demand for such people in
South Africa just now.

The Horse TO the Rescue.

Paris is the headquarters for freak
medical discoveries, and every
little while there the doctors have
to announce a wonder Just to keep
themselves in trim. The latest and
wierdest Of the lot is a special brand
of serum calculated to paralyze the
Demon Drink.
An able bodied horse is permitted
to take of the flowing bowl until he
reaches the point where humming
birds begin to look like eagles. His
veins are then tapped and the re-
sulting serum is administered hypo-
dermically to the victim Of the
morning cocktail and the eve
ming nightcap. 1t is confidently
announced that the patient thus
treated will tremble at the mere
sight of an imbibitorium, and cease
from plotting schooners across the
bar.
The horse world should welcome
this innovation with enthusiastic
resolutions of gratitude. For some
years the patient martyr to chronic
sore throat in order that victims of
dyphtheria might have chance to
combat that dread disease, now
he has an opportunity to embark on
one long sweet jag, and with such
privilege as this. can it be truth
fully stated that he is below man ?
