PREPARING BILL
For Great Harbor Improvements in the
 Philippines

Manila, September 16.-General Wright of the Philippine Commission is preparing d bill for harbor improvements here. He contemplates an appropriation of $1,O0O.OO0 in gold.
 The commissions bill establishing munich palities will introduce a change in the system of revenue, which will hereafter come largely from land, instead of indus trial taxation. This will involve the rais- ing of tax validity of land titles and will force a decision to the extent of which the investments of religious corporations are to be exempted. The matter is receiv- ing careful consideration at the hands of the commission, and the feeling is that the bringing of these issues to a head will be in many ways beneficial.
 At the commissions next session, We'd nesday, a civil service bill will be made to provide for a civil service board, consist ing of one Filipino and two Americans. The examinations In the United States will be held by the Washington civil service com mission, and those here by the army board appointed. During the last fortnight ten Flipinos in Luzon and the Visayans, known as American .vmpa thizers, or aiding in the conduct or municipal governments es- tabished by the Americans, have been mur-

 The local bankers have prepared a splen- did programme for the entertainment of the visitors. The programme includes one of the famous southern barbecues at Jackson's Lake near Montgomery. A special train has been chartered to carry the guests out. One of the most important matters which will be brought before the association will come in the shape of a request from the Cotton Growers Protective Association of the State for an endorsement of their scheme This plan provides that the banks of the State will cooperate with the farm CTS in systematically marketing the cotton crop by advancing two-thirds the value of the staple with the warehouse certificate as security.
 There Is but little doubt but that the plan will be endorsed, as many of the bankers have written letters to President Poole, pledging support of the movement

THE DURFIELDS
 FOULLY ROBBED
Whilst Unconscious in New York
 Emergency Hospital.
so THE STORY IS AfL0AT
Two Birmingham Brothers, Victims an Accident Which Killed One, Said to Have Been Victims
 of Ghoulish Robbers

The funeral of Charles Durfeld, the voung bookkeeper of Birmingham, who was killed by falling political flagstaff in Broadway, New York, last Wednesday, took place from his late residence, 1i3O Eighth avenue at 3 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon Rev. Dr. l.. s. Handley conduct ed the. services, which were attended by a great number of the friends of the un- fortunate young man and his family lh- terment took place at Oak Hill cemetery.
 Strange stories of New York sayagery are afoat as concerning the death of young Durfield It will be remembered that he and his brother John Durfeld, and their friend, William Latham, the three of Bir- mingham, were together when the accident occurred. They had been in New York but forty-five minutes Leaving their hotel they proceeded along the street seeing the sights and looking into shop windows. Looking across the street, Charles Dur field saw a shoe show window, and i'm mediately proposed that they go over and see it, as he thought he might wish 10 purchase pair of shoes. His companions spoke some words of objection, when he answered by saying he was going, and started, the other two following him. As they reached the opposite sidewalk the fa tai flagstaff fell, killing Charles Durfield and knocking John Durfield senseless.
 William Latham dragged one of the pros- trate men into a store A policeman came along and dragged the other in, but be- fore he could do so persons were attempt ing to rifle the senseless mans pocket
 An ambulance arrived, and the two men were taken to an emergency hospital, where money was stolen from their pock- cts. All of the coin of Charles Durfield, the dead man, was stolen.
 Subsequently men presumed to have been newspaper reporters came to John Durfeld and William Latham with typewriter papers which they were begged to sign. The two young men refused to sign the papers, and it appears that they did not 50 much as read the contents.
 Stories to this general effect were current last night.
 It is presumed that the family of the late Charles Durfield will bring action in New York for the recovery of heavy dam ages on account of his killing and likewise on account of the injuries to John Durfied; case for damages being perfectly clear.

 Austin, Texas, September 16. Reports sent out from this place by whomsoever may, that eight or nine hun dred thousand dollars has already been paid in, are absolutely false, and made without authority, calculated to do great harm to the needy sufferers on our coast.

FORWARD GOING TO PEKIN
Americans Have Begun a Permanent Telegraph Line Between Pekin and Tien Tsln-Earl Li Must
 Submit Credentials

London, September 17.-Q a. m.)-In con- nection with the prediction by Sir Robert Hart that there may be further hostilities in China in November through the Asso- ciated Press, the British government is al- ready considering the transfer of troops from South Africa to India that they may send more troops to China. The military authority consider the war in South Afri- ca so far ended that troops may now be safely removed. It is probable that the Russian legation has already been re- moved from Pekin to Tien Tsin, but there is no definite news as yet as to whether Ii Hung Chang will after all go to Pekin. General Dorward is going to the capital. leaving the British troops at Tien Tsin Horrno- Campbe. Vice Admiral Aiex.eff has returned to Taku
 The Americans have begun at Chee Foo Gu, a permanent telegraph line between Pekin and Tien Tsin.
 The Pekin correspondent of the Daily News says that the Chinese regulars are reported to have relieved the Roman Catholics stronghold at Ho Chien, in the province of Gnu Lo, which the Boxers had been besieging since June
 The OnanSnal correspondent or the I1IneS
 will say: "Li Hung Chang has been noti-
 fled from Berlin that he must submit his credentials to the Germans who will then communicate with Emperor William, and await the result"
 Asks Their Return
 Earl Lii, accordingly telegraphed Tung to persuade the Empress Dowager and Elm peror to return to Pekin, and remove Prince Tung and his entourage. correspondent says:
 "I learn on trustworthy authority that before his departure, Ii Hung, having been convinced by his interviews with MT. Rock hill and Dr. Mumm Won Schwartz, that 1t would be useless to discuss any settlement excluding the punishment of the Empress Dowager and her chief advisers. sent a telegram to the memorial of the throne, impeaching Prince Yuan, Prince ChuanS, and Tsai Ian, Prince Tuan's brother and Shu Chiao, commissioner of the railway and mining bureau, and president of the board of punishment. Earl Ii, being un- able to consult the Viceroys of Maxim and Woo Chang inscribed their names to the memorial, taking their consent for granted, but it appears that Woo Chang, Viceroy. disapproves of the use of his name. This means a rupture with a large and influ- ental party.
 The staff of Ii Hung Chang includes a son of Marquis Tseng Yang Tsung Vi. and Liu Hsuch Shung. Sheng declined to ac- company Earl Lii, on the plea of illness It is asserted that Earl Ii endeavored to obtain from the Shanghai authorities 20,00o taels, the cost of his recent telegram to St. Petersburg. The Tao Tai, refused to pay in the absence of orders.
