THE CABINET SESSION.
Philippine Government Discussed.
Surplus in Government Revenues.

Washington. March SO.-The cabinet
today discussed the instructions to be
given to the new Philippine commits
sion, to be formally communicated to
the commissioners within a day or
two 1t is known that it is the pur-
pose of the president to make the civil
government of the Philippines, repre-
sented by the commission, superior to
the military in all matters pertaining
to the government of the islands, not
strictly military in character. 1t is
believed that Judge Taft, before he
accepted the craftsmanship of the COM
mission, had a perfect understanding
with the president as to the relations
which should exist between the civil
and the military authorities, and also
that from the time the commission ar
supreme, under the president, as to all
matters of government.
Secretary Gage occupied some time
at today'S cabinet session in making a
statement of the receipts and expen-
ditures of the government. He stated
that since July 1, 1899. there had accu-
mulated a surplus of revenue over re-
ceipts of about $50, 900. 900, and that by
the end of June of this year it proba-
bly, would to over $50, 000, 600.
This surplus is accounted for by large
receipts from customs, and by. a ma
terial reduction in the expenditures on
account of the war. The secretary is
of the opinion that the present rate OF
taxation might safely be reduced to
some extent and it was with a view to
a possible recommendation to &
by the president on the subject that
the secretary made his statement.

THE NAVAL POLICY BOARD.
The Gigantic Work This Board is Elk
pected to Dc.

Washington, March 3O.-The first
meeting of the naval policy board has
been called for April 18th, and there
after the board probably will meet
once a week until it has reduced it's
work to routine form. The work of
the board will be without precedent.
The intelligence bureaus of the war
and the navy departments have en-
deavored to compile and lave in shape
for use in case of hostilities, informa-
ton respecting the resources, in a war
like way. of other nations, but this has
been merely incident to other duties.
The policy board is to undertake this
work on larger lines and probably will
be guided by European methods. 1t
will be its business to provide in ad-
vance and have ready for instant use
completely worked out plans of naval
campaigns offensive and defensive, ap-
plicable to any maritime power with
which the United States may by any
possibility come into hostile conflict
in the future.
The preparation of these plans in
wolves an enormous amount of work,
theoretical and practical. The military
and naval reserves of foreign countries
must be aScertained to a nicely and
this information must be renewed
from the latest sources from time to
time.
- NIAo oLAa RloAA III
defenses must be secured in order to
avoid, as for as possible, the serious
omission made by the British authori-
ties in the case of the geography of
the Transvaal.
The war college probably will be
called upon to assist in the work by
continuing on an enlarged scale the
planning of the utilization of the Unit
ed States naval forces in defensive
campaigns.
Another branch of the work will be
the preparation of the plans for naval
operations when the navy is called
| upon to act in conjunction with the
army, both extensively and defensively.
| This involves questions of harbor de-
Tense, and the protection of the naval
stations. The Pearl harbor board is
now engaged in a scheme for the es-
t~ablishment and fertilization OF a ma
| val station in that harbor, and the pol
icy board, probably, will have to pass
| OF the report and recommendations.
| Later, steps may be taken to consider
the establishment of a nava station or
| the island of Guam.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN
Latter's Opposition to Russian De-
mands for Korean Concessions.

London, March 31.-The Times has
the following from Seoul, capital of
Korea:
m. Pavloff, the Russian minister,
recently demanded from Korea the
concession of a coaling station to a
Russian steamship company at At
kinson Pont, commanding Masampo
harbor. and, to prevent a counter
claim by Japan of the neighboring
area, he demanded that Korea should
not ALLEVIATE in any form any portion
Of kojedo island to any other power.
Yesterday, at an imperial audience,
for reasons not given, but surmised,
Pavlof modified his original demand,
asking. instead Of Atkinson Pont, an
other site within the treaty limits of
Masampo. This demand is unobjec-
tionable. At he same time, however.
he insisted on the non-alienation of
Kojedo. His action indicates that
Russia claims the reversion of this is
land, which is of high strategical value,
as commanding the Korean straits,
and it is bound to provoke japanese
opposition" li2H

ton has weakened during the week.
not because of n impairment OF the
statistical position. which, indeed. re-
mains very strong, but really because
some speculative holders have gotten
tired and have given ear to reports
Of dizziness In the cotton goods demand.
New business in this latter line is un-
doubleday quiet. but most Of the mills
are heavily sold ahead and finished
products have not advanced proper
tionately as much as the cruder forms.
Wool has been more actively. but con-
siderable business has been done at
concessions.
The decentralization in the sugar bus
mess Is clearly confined to the refining
branch. because. while quotations OF
the finished product have been lowered.
the heavy refiners have been large
buyers and raw sugar has actually ad-
vanced, the result being a still further
shrinkage in the margin of profit in
refining.

the iron and steel trade. New busi-
