Ever since the evidences of a rcappear-

Keen said that the falling off is duc To

successful in certain sections ana in
those places there is a good prospect

In other sections where no attempt WIS

DEAN WORCESTER HERE.
A Philippine Commissioner Talks ln'
terestingly Of the Islands.

Prof Dean c. Worcester OF the Phil
ippine commission Is in the city on HIS
way to Manila. where his official duties
win detain him Tor over year. Prof.
Worcester was formerly Of the Uni
verslty Of Michigan and he has that
broad comprehension Of affairs that Is
only possessed by the most thoroughly
trained mind Prof Worcester lived
I'm the Philippines from 1855 10 1894 and
was there recently as a member OF the
Philippine commission and therefore he
is perhaps as well qualified TO speak on
the conditions OF that country as any
American citizen. He is an accom-
plished student Of the Spanish Lam
guage, and has acquired two native
tongues, he can therefore hold converse
with the natives with more felicity than
most men.
Prof Worcester viii meet the other
members Of the commission In San
Francisco on the 18th inst. and will en-
bark on the transport Hancock a few
days later In speaking OF the work
the commission proposed doing the
professor stated that they did not exc
pect 20 establish a stable, successful
government IN "a day or a month but
they would az once set 90 work TO main
tain a civil administration. establish
peace and order and instruct the ma
tiyes In the art Of lf-government.
The professor has utter confidence In
the work Of the commission, and seems
TO be actuated by a very enthusiastic
spirit. He laughs at the idea Of for
sakng the Philippines, saying that II
would be infamous for the United
States TO abandon those helpless men
and women now and leave them To an
awful fate. He said wherever the
American soldier goes. there Is estab-
lished schools, and in the Philippines
the teaching Of English Is being made
speciality the natives having mani
tested an eager willingness 10 abandon
Spanish for the AnglO-SaXon tongue.
The old Spanish laws are being relin-
pushed as rapidly as IS advisable. and
those who censure The government for
holding on TO those laws do not realize
the situation.
Prof Worcester spoke OF the Utah
batteries In the warmest Of terms. and
his faith In the American soldier Is un-

From Omaha has been ordered by
the Burlington 800 cars Of eighty-tWo-
pound steel rails Tor its western extern

LIST. According 70 the Denver Post, this
makes 10 practically certain that the
line which 1t has been supposed would
be merely a northern cut-off, VIII be
rushed through 90 ogden The entire
distance has been surveyed 10 that
point and through ogden canyon 10 has
actually been graded and Is ready for
the ties and rails. In addition TO the
300 cars Of rails, 100000 ties have been
contracted for General Manager
Holdredge OF the Burlington has not ar
frmed the report that this road has
been started TO Utah. but admits the
purchase OF the ties and rails, with the
vague statement that they are for
western extensions
Ii Is not only possible, but extremely
probable, In view Of recent develop
ments, that opposition from the Union
Pacific Is feared by the Burlington. II
became apparent yesterday why Vice
President Harris and other high Of
fiCials OF the road came 10 Denver last
month and spent two days In confer
ence with President Jeffrey OF the Rio
Grande. The closest traffic relations
have existed between the two roads
An Burlington business was and is
transferred at Denver 10 the Rio
Grande, and, Of course, the Rio Grande
Western from Grand Junction TO Og-
den But the Burlington this year re-
fused 10 renew the old-time agreement
with the Rio Grande. which heretofore
has run for three years. II was re-
ncwed on lis expiration for but one
year only and expires next March.
This Is considered to mean that the
Burlington hopes 20 have It's own line
In operation 70 ogden within that time.
