Wire episode, suggests that, however
the public may have been affected,
there is some danger to stockholders
when the management of a large in
dustrial concern takes a hand in Walk
street. The very largeness of the en-
terprise, by which millions Of value can
be affected by closing down few mills
at the decree of one man, and whereby
thousands of operatives can be depriv-
led of employment without a moments
notice, suggests danger incident to
such gigantic concerns which could
not exist in connection with the multi
plicity of smaller concerns, and there
ought to be some way of preventing
the evils SO far as they are the result
of mismangement, speculation and dis
honesty.
'The course of trade in securities is
such that companies engaged in the
same business, altho they may be to-
tally distinct from each other, suffer
because of their belonging to the same
group. For example, the stocks of the
Federal Steel company went down with
those of American Steel and Wire when
really they sustain no relations to each
other except that of customers This
is another reason why the highest sane
ton of good policy demands that some
regulation, if it can be found, should
be applied to the management of such
business"

HAY POOH IN NORTH.
In Southern Part OF state Crop IL Good
Corn Does Well


Des Moines, June Especial. 1.-The
weekly crop bulletin and weather SER
vice report for week ending June 4,
issued today, says:
First half of the week was very
warm and the latter part cooler than
usual The mean temperature for the
week was from 2 to degrees above
normal. The, rainfall for the week
was quite unequally distributed. The
greatest amount reported was 5.31 in
ches in the northern part of Cherokee
county; and numerous localities were
visited by heavy downpours, causing
some local damage by washing and
flooding. Except in a few places the
showers brought ample relief from the
drouthy conditions prevalent in por-
tons of the northern section.
Reports indicate that the hay crop
has been materially cut short of an av-
erage in some portions of the northern
districts. The recent rains will great
ly help pastures, but came TOO late to
restore the meadows to their normal
condition. But in the larger part of
the southern and central districts the
hay crop ranges from good to extra
heavy, the main drawback being the
partial loss of the clover stand. In the
southern section clover cutting will be
in progress within few days.
Nearly all reports show very salts
factory progress in cultivating corn,
and the general condition of the crop
is apparently above the average of the
past ten years.
Oats show a tendency to become too
rank in all sections where the mois-
ture has been excessive. Other small
grain crops are promising. Pastures
are generally excellent. Garden truck
is making rapid growth.

Republic Does Not Exist.

"The so-called Filipino government
has ceased to exist for long time,
and we are protecting those who de.
mand from us immunity from outrages
inflicted on them. Peace has been
practically restored all thru the islands
and the Filipinos generally have re-
turned to their vocations, thoroly con-
tent to submit to American authority.
Trade conditions are being gradually
restored to their normal state and
there is much better feeling every
where.
"Of course, much remains still to be
done before we can afford to rest upon
our oars, but there is every indication
that the worst is over and that new
era is dawning for the Filipinos. That
they too feel this is evident from
the way in which they are cooperating
with us in our efforts to better their
condition.
"rhe most encouraging sign, in my
opinion, is that in the past few months
the natives themselves have been Civ.
ing us information for the purpose OF
helping us to break up the bands OF
ladrones and robbers who have intest.
led the country since the Filipino army
was disbanded."

son that the rebel army has been COM
pletely shattered and all the leading
rebels killed or captured" This was the
response made by Major General Otis
when asked about conditions in the
Philippines.
General Otis landed from the trans
port Meade yesterday afternoon, after
having been held in quarantine at An
gel Island for five days, and at {
o'clock last night started for Washing
ton on the Central Overland. General
Otis shows plainly the effect of his long
campaign in the Philippines. His face
is heavily lined, eyes sunken and his
whole aspect is that of man who has
seen hard service and is nearly worn
|out.
Even long rest can hardly restore
him to his former health. He says that
rest, after such long period Of hard
work, is difficult to endure, and that
he really felt better when at his desk
in the excessive heat of Manila than
when at leisure on the steamer.
In response to an inquiry whether
he thought we ought to hold the Phil
ippines he said: "Hold them? Why,
OF course. We could not let go now if
we wanted to-
As to whether they were worth the
amount expended on them he was still
more positive.

lands whom the insurrectionists claim
to be still loyal to the Philippine cause,
but that this is not so is proved by
the fact that the natives themselves in
many cases ask us for protection from
their raids and lawlessness. Even those
bands are on the run, however, and we
are keeping after them and gradually
stamping them out of existence.

General Davis
Return

The announcement that General
Davis, Governor General of the Is
land, is on his way back, has been
received with general satisfaction
and pleasure, coupled with an eager
desire to know the details of the in
cidents and the results of his trip to
Washington.
The cable has informed us from
time to time of his interviews with
the President, with the Secretary of
War, his statements before Congress.
sional Committees etc.
While some would have preferred
that he should have gone further in
the direction of advocating Civil
Government, all are grateful to
him for the generous words spoken
of the people of Puerto Rico, for his
earnest efforts in behalf of free trade
between Peurto Rico and the United
States, AMI in general the great in
terest he took in the future welfare
of the Island In urging upon Con
gress the supreme importance of i'm
mediate remedial legislation.
No man was better equipped for
this task than he.
During his term here as Governor
General he has not only performed
intelligently and with marked abili-
ty the usual duties of that high off
ce, but he has gone further and With
untiring industry and in the face of
discouraging difficulties has made
himself thoroughly familiar with the
history of Puerto Rico, its population,
their characteristics and needs, the
present depressed condition of COM
mercial, agricultural and industrial
interests, the reasons therefor, and
the remedies which should be sup.
piled.
Such was the man whom the Was
b ngton authorities SUNNI oned to
give information respecting Puerto
Rico, and well did he fulfill his mis-
sion.
We think that With the informa-
zion received from General Davis
and the Puerto Rican Commissioners
Congress ought to have sufficient
material for formulating a plan of ci- |
vii goVernement for this Island, and |
enact legislation which will harmonize |
the General Order of the Military |
Governor with the Spanish laws,
which we understand are to continue,
for the most part. 1t is also neces-
sary that Congress should establish
uniform judicial jurisdiction, as it is |
impracticable to have two inconsis-
tent jurisdictions exist simultaneo
usly in the same place.
Protection should be afforded the
products of the country by laws which |
will enable them TO have access to |
American markets, and at the same
time stimulate production by the
advantages which would thus accrue
to agriculture.
In addition the Government ought |
to grant ? credit to agriculture,
which acould be more than guaran-
teed BY the fertility Of the soil.
In this connection zoe recall tile
agricultural rarrants issued by the
French Government, secured on the
crops, schich gave great impetus
to agriculture.
