Several important earnings statements
were published yesterday. The showing
of the Southern Pacific for the months of
November is the best November state
ment yet received perhaps. 1t is particu-
larry encouraging because the net earn
ings show an immense increase despite the
increased cost of materials that has had
such a bad effect with the net earnings
of some OF the grangers. The net for the
month was S2.27S.O00. an increase of
$500.600 or so per cent. The company is
earning between and per cent on the

not advanced yesterday. The attacks of the

stock was well bought, the best that the
bulls could do was to prevent il losing any
ground. There would be little surprise in
the street. however, If Brooklyn, too,

POLICY OF THE FRlARS.
Judge Taft Looking Into the Problem
In the Philippines

Manila, Oct. 22.-The Philippine com
mission has passed Il bill appropriate
ing $4,000 gold for the payment of
expenses incurred for the benefit of the
insular government during October.
The bill goes carefully into detail re-
garding the items of expenditure
throughout the archipelago.
Judge Taft, president of the commits
sion, has been engaged for some time
in taking mass of Filipino testimony
concerning the conduct and policy of
the friars, this being a continuation of
the investigation which began with
the dispositions Of bishops and mem
bers of monastic orders The state
ments Of the tilipinos go to show that
the frfars, under the Spanish regime,
greatly abused their limitless political
and religious powers over the commu-
nifty and that this abuse of authority
often led to immortality. All the testi-
mony offered by the Filipinos shows
that they do not desire the return of
the friafs to the parishes.
Archbishop Ghappelle has gone to
the more peaceful provinces of north
ern Luzon. accompanied by three do
minican friars It is asserted and gen
orally believed that he intends to re-es-
tablsih these friars in certain parishes.
