teen while men sent up from Butler county,
Alabama, for terms ranging from sixty to
ninety days for riding trains" were re-
leased from the Pratt mines prison to-
day on pardons granted by Governor San

They were arrested under a local law maxi
a train in that county without first having
secured a ticket or pass. Most of the men
pardoned are members of trades unions and
carry union cards. Some of them declare
they were never taken before a judge, and
that they were kept in the county Jail at
Greenville for forty or fifty days. DR.. ].

PROGRESS in THE SOUTH
PHILIPPINE COMMISSION BUSY Or
CANNING GOVERNMENTS.
Conditions Are Steadily Improving i'm
the Southern PrOvinces-Prim-
tive Methods i'm Elections.

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Secretary of
War Root to-day received the following
cablegram from Judge Taft, chairman of
the Taft commission in the Philippines.
dated at Iloilo:
w have organized Tayabas, Romblon,
including Tablas. sibuyan and smaller
islands, and Masbate, including Taco and
Burias; visited M~arindudue, initiated or
ganization of municipalities there and viii
organize the province before our return.
Receptions have been most enthusiastic.
After visiting Negros we shall go to Jolo
and Mindanao, and on returning shall or
ganize noilo, Capiz, Antigua, Cebu, Bohoi
and Leyte. We probably shall organize
zamboanga and Misamis. There is a
marked improvement in the general situa-
tion.'
The dispatch received from Judge Taft is
regarded at the Wa Department as SHOW
ing a very satisfactory state of affairs in
the southern islands, which are now being
visited by the commission. 1t is stated that
these governments, organized under the
commission, are tentative, to a certain ex-
tent, and in each community or munlclpal-
ity the government is organized upon d
basis to meet the requirements OIL the peo-
pie. For the most part, it is said, the gov
ernments are of a very simple character,
with the least possible machinery, and give
the people the largest measure OF self-gov-
eminent consistent with their condition. 1t
is intended that these tentative govern
ments shall be the basis of a more extern
sive organization as soon as the people In
the several communities show a capacity
for such enlargement. 1t was stated, as an
illustration of the condition which exists,
that the commission among the lgorotes
found several communities where IL was
necessary i'm making the selection of chief
or head of the government. as well as the
clerk or secretary, to stand the candidates
in different places. Those natives who pre-
ferred one would gather around him and
those who preferred another would gather
around him. The person having the largest
number of supporters was declared elected

Opposition to Alley Vacation.

1t is said there will be a remonstrance by
property owners affected against the pro-
posed vacation of the alley between Penn
sylvania and Meridian streets, from Four
teenth street to the first alley south.
Bishop Chatard petitioned the board for
the vacation, and the petition will be con-
sidered next Wednesday,. The vacation is
desired for the purpose of making room for
the proposed new Catholic cathedral for
the diocese of Indianapolis. The diocese
owns the property to the east of the alley
also, and ii is proposed to build the new
alley. Some of those who object to the
alley being closed suggest that if the
board insists on vacating the north and
south alleys the intersecting alley ought to
be made wider.

One of the most colossal financial
and industrial schemes of modern
times, says an exchange, has just
been inaugurated in the state of
Washington, where a syndicate has
been capitalized at $4,000, 900 for the
purpose of connecting the United
States with Europe by rail. A rail-
road is to be constructed from Cir
Gle City, Alaska, to the extreme
northwestern portion of the CONT.
nent, and thence by means of steel
ferryboats trains will be conveyed
across Beriug strait TO the Siberian
coast. Here connection will be had
with the Transsiberian line, which
leads to st. Petersburg. Thus in
time the victim of seasickness may
go by rail to Europe. The fact that
such magnates az Hill and Morgan
are interested In the undertaking is
the most positive assurance that il
will be carried to a successful con.
clueion.

Frank Mitchell. the colored indi-
vidual charged with burglary, was
tried in the district court last week
and found guilty of petit larceny.
This is the coon who had lot of ci-
gars and knives and razors in his
possession which were taken from
the stock of Frank Gray, which was
burned August 5. There is scarce
ly any doubt that Mitchell is guilty
of burglary and arson as well. We
are told by parties who attended
the trial that the case was only half
prosecuted. But we think the pros
ecuting attorney did the best he
could. He isn't much of lawyer
ANYHOW. And we also understand
that Mitchell will not be prosecuted
for arson unless the insurance com.
panies take the matter up. This is
certainly a case where justice is
blind.

The trains for ST. Louis will leave

There will be two trains for Kan
