PHILIPPINE RESOURCES
V Rosy View of the Wealth which may
be Developed

Guthrie, Ok, Dec. l3-Dr. w. =.
Barker, of Guthrie, now serving in
the Philippines, has written letter to
F. l.. Wenner, private secretary of
Governor Barnes from which the fol-
lowing is an extract:
1.-THE resources of these islands are
almostunlimited, agricultural, mineral
and timber. Coal has been found in
abundance. ! saw some gold bearing
quartz from Masbate island apparent
ly as rich as any from our own coun-
try. Doors, floors and furniture are
mostly made of mahogany. The
climate here is very fine, Manila and
Cavite probably alone excepted.
THE Filipinos, as a whole, are
very poor. 1t will take other brain
and capital to develop the resources
of this country. The natives are like
children in their methods of business.
They saw all their lumber for build
ing by hand with a buck saw, the
blade turned sideways on the frame.
Two men by hand furnish about 100 to
100 feet of lumber in day. The old
Spanish timber law is in force by
which the timber costs fourteen cents
(Mexican) in the tree. If this tax we're
not on the timber and plant could be
operated without interference, | see
no reason why millions could not be
made in the lumber business. Com
gresham Hull of Iowa, is at the head
OF syndicate which will go into that
business in theseislands, and its stock
ought to be good.
II have had some practical expert
encein finance since leaving Oklahoma.
1t is with feeling of pride that l buy
$50 worth of goods from Chinese
merchants, give a 50 bill and receive
a 50 japanese bill in exchange. For
one dollars worth l give a silver dol
lar, pay the debt and receive Japan
csc silver dollar in change"

DREYFUS CASE UP AGAIN
French Chamber of Deputies Listens
to a Wrangle Over the Army
Scandal.

Paris, Dec. 14.-The first paragraph
oflthe amnesty bill, which deals with
cases arising outof the Dreyfus affair,
was adopted by the Chamber of Depu-
ties by vote of 500 against pa. An
amendment excluding cases of espion-
age and treason from the amnesty was
adopted by vote of 296 against 24S.
The voting was preceded by lively
debate growing outof a sort of indict-
ment pronounced by NJ. Ernest Jose
Breton, Socialist deputy for Dieppe,
against Esterhazy, Henry and Du
Patty de Clam, who, he said, were the
real traitors.
Despite the disapproval of NJ. Paul
Deschanel, president of the chamber,
who objected to the introduction of
personalities into the debate, NJ.
Breston proceeded to denounce the
various ministers of war who had re-
fused revision-Generals Gonse, De
Boisdeffre, Mercier and Billot and to
accuse General Billotiand M. Meline,
former premier, with having been cog
infant of Lieutenant Colonel :Henry's
forgery, Notwithstanding their de-
mails.
NJ. Bresson, former premier, said
that when he was apprised of the facts
of the Henry forgery he decided that
revision was necessary and he honored
himself for this decision. Cheers
NJ. Meline, who spoke again, denied
that General Elliot had protected
Esterhazy or. was aware of Henrys
forgery.
NJ. Brisson retorted; an. Meline is
right in saying that the forgery was
deposited in the foreign Office, but he
and NJ. HanotauX former minister of
foreign affairs should havecalled the
attention of their successors to the eX-
istence of such animportantdocument.
They neglected this duty"
NJ. incline rejoined: attention was
not called to it because no Importance
was attached to it. The Dreyfus affair
huS NJ" p'Vh JuuStu anu LhuSJ Hol ne
re-opened. The country will nottoler-
ate it.
NJ. Waldeck-ROusseau, premier,
said: "As to the Dreyfus affair, the
chamber has manifested a desire that
it should be forever buried. The gov
eminent now looks to the future and
presents this measure in order to pre-
vent renewal of discord. l ask the
hamber to put an end to the fatal di-
visions inlthe country by voting the
amuestry." The votes were then taken.

CHAFFEE GO TO MANILA.
The Impression Prevails that General
Macarthur Will be Ordered Home.

Washington, Dec. ID If the wishes
of high ranking officers in the Philip
ippines are observed, many important
changes Will occur at the end of the
present dry season. Several of the
general officers are urging that they
be ordered home, and it is expected
that when the volunteers are returned,
they will accompany them. 1t is the
general belief of well informed officers
that General Macarthur and General
A. f.. Bates will return to the United
States within few months, and that
Major General Chaffee, now in com
mand at Pekin, Will be ordered to

LIKELY TO GO FREE
Doubtful if Jessie Morrison Will Ever
be Tried Again.

Eldorado, Kansas, Dec. lathe
jury in the Jessie Morrison murder
case was discharged shortly be-
fore noon today, after spending three
and one-half days in fruitless de-
liberation.
On the final ballot, and on most of
those preceding, the jury stood nine
for acquittal to three for conviction.
The prisoner, Jessie Morrison, wept
when Judge Shinn discharged the jury,
for she had hoped for acquittal until
the last. To her family and her at
torneys, however, the result is graft
flying. 1t is the more so because a
verdict ST first degree murder was not
for a moment considered by the jury.
Those who voted for conviction were
for manslaughter in the fourth degree,
which would mean Imprisonment of
from six months in the county Jail to
two years in the penitcniary.
The defense feels, too, that it has
accomplished a great deal in over
coming public sentiment. When the
trial commenced, nine-tenths of the
people of Elnorado believed Jessie
Morrison had killed Clara Wiley
Castle in cold blood While the Jury
came in this afternoon for u
great share of street corner condemua-
ton, it was not nearly so general as
would have been expected four weeks
ago.
Jessie Morrison has more friends
today than she had when she went on
the witness stand to testify in her own
defense.

FINISH KANSAS CAPITOL.
Legislature Asked to Make Levy to
Complete State House.

Topeka, Dec. l4.-State Architect
John Stanton has prepared an esti-
mate showing the amount of money
that will be required to complete the
State house. According to his figures
it will cost $l47, 440 outside of the work
now under contract. His estimate is
made by floors as follows.
First floor, $3S, 800.
Second floor, sl4, $50.
Basement floor, $26, 070.
Stairs, S42, 200.
Exterior finish, s26, 300.
Total, $l47, 44O.
This estimate includes a complete re-
building of the interior of the first
hoor OF the east wing. IT also includes
a marble floor for the rotunda and
corridors on the first floor, land a 81
800 marble fountain in the center of
rotunda in the basement. The estimate
of $26, 300 for exterior work includes
carving for pediments. statue Of
Ceres on the dome and the repairing
OF the north and south approaches.
There is still out standing $50, 900 in
taxes for the completion of the State
house occasioned blythe fourth mill
levy fixed by the last legislature. This
will be paid into the treasury within
the next three month, at least the most
of it. This will cut the amount neces-
sary for the legislature to raise this
winter down to S67, 440. 1t isestimated
that in addition to the present levy
100000 will complete the State house
and furnish it with all the necessary
furniture. The legislature will be ask
ed to levy tax to raise this amount.
Two years ago it fixed one-fourth-
mill levy. That raised $l6O, 900.
Three-siXteenths of mill levy will
raise enough during the next two years
to complete the building entirely.

European Powers Yield TO United
States in Chinese Matters.

New York, Dec. 13.-A Herald dis
patch from Vienna says the Neu Wei
ner Tageblatt, learns that all the
European ministers in Pekin have re-
ceived final instructions from their
governments so that the beginning of
peace negotiations can be made at
once. The success OF the American
policy on which the new agreement
between the powers is based is even
more complete than was expected. AS
a proof of this it is learned from the
very best source that the powers con-
shutting thetriple alliance, which at the
beginning were strongly opposed to
the American policy have nowrequest-
ed their ministers to limit as far as
possible all matters of formality in the
peace negotiations, so that peace may
be speedily concluded.
