but DeLaittre Saved
the Day.

manufactures finally get share of the
new capitol building contracts. w. !.
Gray & Co. were awarded the contract for
complete mechanical equipment late yes
terday, and home manufactures won a
victory.

the commission in arriving at a conclu-
sion. The architect, Cass Gilbert, and his
consulting engineer, H. w. Harrison,
plainly favored the Allan Black & Co. bid,
which was drawn very closely to the

KEEPING UP THE RECORD
Burglars Maintain Their Reputation
for Uninterrupted Industry.

The residence occupied by Henry X.
Allason, 1903 Thirteenth avenue S, We
visited by burglars twice yesterday. The
first man walked boldly into the house,
and when discovered by Mrs. Allason took
a hurried departure. Last evening an
other burglar entered the sleeping-room
just after Mr.. Allason retired. Allason
heard the marauder and jumped up quick
ly, but the man leaped through window
and escaped. The afternoon burglar stole
a pair of speetacles, silver soap box
and a small amount of money. The even
ing visitor secured $1.25 in change from

COAL DEMAND LIGHT
Companies Say Public Is Waiting
for a Drop.

Fuel dealers say that the demand for
coal is not nearly so great now as it was
a year ago. The demand then was due to
a multiplication of orders following upon
the strike. But the explanation for the
light demand now is that the public Is
waiting for drop in prices. getting along
in the meantime with as little as possible.
The representative aof one of the COM
panies says that the coal business is now
on a proper basis in Minneapolis in that a
man can no longer order his supply be-
fore the beginning of the season at low
prices and have it delivered a little at a
time throughout the winter, depending
upon the company to store what he does
not want until he is ready for it. The
companies say there is no drop coming.

LIVELY FAMILY FEUD
Woman's Arm Broken in Fight
With Relatives.

Fred Bovee and Ed Dermody were in the
police court this morning on the charge
of assaulting Frank Bovee, the uncle Of
the former who appeared in court with
his eyes draped in mourning. The testi-
mony developed that the assault was the
upshot Of family row on Sunday after
noon during which clubs, slung shot,
stones and other missiles were used. Sew
eral of the women of the household par
ticipated in the fight, and Mrs. Bovee,
the mother Of the complaining witness,
had one of her arms broken in the melee.
The case was badly mixed up, and as the
latter was not the complainant in the
present case the court took no cognizance
of this phase of the affair. BoVee was

Harry Summers, Colored, In Wanted

A hard fight will be made against the
extradition Of Harry Summers, who is
charged in Tennessee with completely in a
murder committed at Bolivar. Summers
was originally held on the charge of be-
ing a fugitive from justice. The requisi-
tion papers will reach Governor Van

will be resisted on the ground that Sum-

NOT WISE TO INTERFERE.
Chaaec and Taft Must settle Their
Dispute Themselves.

After a careful consideration OF General
Chaffees cablegram regarding his con-
troversy with the civil courts OF the Phil
ippines. the President yesterday deter
mined not to Interfere in the matter
Cablograms to General Chaffse and Gov
orrar Taft were sent from the War De
yesterday informing them Of
tn, iesident's action and explaining
that it was not considered nece ssary for
the War Department here to interfere In
matters affecting the government of che
Philippines. The cablegram also directed
General Chaffee and Governor Taft to
consult regarding the matter. and sug-
gested that they arrive at a proper basis
for future conduct of Philippine affairs SO
that there will be no further trouble.
The idea of the President in declining to
act upon General Chaffee's protest about
the Supreme Court of the Philippines is
suing writ of habeas corpus in the case
of the soldier ordered deported is that
the Government here should not inter
fere any more than absolutely necessary
in the work of establishing a general gov
ernment in the Philippines. 1t Is consid-
cred very unfortunate that this trouble
should have come up at this time, and the
President is of the opinion that both Cen
eral Chaffee and Governor Taft can find
a way to obviate such an occurrence Ia
the future.
II is probable that General Chaffee and
Governor Taft, after reaching a conclu-
sion. will cable the result of their confer
ence to the Secretary of War for his in
formation and approval Having agreed
upon plan by which matters relating to
the military establishment will not be
affected by the actions of the Supreme
Court Of the Philippines, it is thought
friction between the military and civil
authorities will not again occur.

The New CnnnI Treaty.

Reports OF the supposed terms of the
new canal treaty between the United
States and Great Britain have caused
considerable grief to the correspondent
in this country of the London Chron-
icle," who has cabled his journal that
'Englishmen viii be startled to learn
that we 1.-THE Englishl have abandoned
our rights under the Clayton-Bulwer
Treaty. and surrendered every dis
puted point without any compensation
One would think that the construc-
ton of the canal itself would be rather
ample compensation to Great Britain
for permitting us to dig and pay for it,
aad that possibly may be the view
taken by the British Government We
hope ii is, though we shall not venture
to form any definite opinion on the sub
ject until we have read the full text of
the proposed convention.
If the treaty is really as reported. it
is unobjectionabIe. and will be ratified
by the Senate without the least doubt

late Mr.. Hay upon his brilliant success.
We came perilously near doing that

casts of the other Hay y-Pauncefote

the event may prove that predictions
are correct 1t certainly would be
grand thing if Great Britain would only
enter into just such a treaty with US,
and, in addition, restore the territory
stolen from US in Alaska and abandon
recent designs upon other areas within
that American possession.

DEPARTMENT OF CALIFORNIA.
Major General Young, Commanding,
Files His Annual Report.

Adjutant General Corbin yesterday made
public the annual report of Mai. Gen.
Samuel B. M Young. commanding the
Department Of California. embracing the
States of California and Nevada, and the
Hawaiian Islands. The headquarters are
at San Francisco.
In the report General Young speaks of
having taken up the work whep General
Shafter retired on June 80, 1901. md of
the great activity in this department by
reason of the shipment of troops to and
from the Philippines.
The following recapitulation is made of
the troops received at San Francisco, and
the disposition of the troops received:
Troops received at San Fra ancisco, from
camps and stations in the United States.
regular and volunteer. and United States
listed men. From Philippines and points
outside the United States. relieving volun-
teers and regulars, ,0l9 officers and p 29l
enlisted men. Total, 1.2O5 officers. and
IS, ,255 enlisted men.
The model camp at the Preside was
again used to shelter returning volunteers
prior to muster-OUt of the service. Its
sanitary administration was similar to
that of last year and was excellent in
every detail. The health of the troops
while encamped at the Preside was good.
The detention camp at the quarry on
Angel Island was occupied on but one
occasion during the year. Companies X
and l.. Eleventh Infantry. were quaran-
tined there from April 20 to May l. 1901, on
account Of smallpox. which appeared
while these troops We're en- route from
Fort Mcpherson, Georgia, to San Fran
cisco. Only two cases developed while
they were in detention There were no
fatalities.

be a little delay about it. The owners
might hold OFF in order TO emphasize the
necessity of a shipping bounty; but it it
be settled once for all that no such
scheme can be consummated, and the
American flag would go up on every
one of those vessels as soon as the
necessary steps could be taken for
chan &c of registration.
1t Is deeply to be regretted that so
many people in the United States can
see ne way of building up any Ameri-
can Industry except upon the basis Of
special buunties The idea has become
so widespread as to make It compare
lively easy for bounty grabbers to carry
out any scheme of loot which they may
have in mind.
The principal argument in favor Of
shipping bounty is that it viii lead TO
the building of a fine fleet Of steamers
which viii serve as auxiliary cruisers
in time OF war. But so far As that end
is concerned ii would be reached just
the same by allowing foreign-built yes
sels the privilege of American registry
or by building ships in our own yards
with free materials. In the Spanish
war the New York and the Paris built
In Great Britain. We're quite as service
able ships as their companion vessels,
the st. Louis and the st. Paul which
We're built by the Cramps. To the plea
that il is desirable to build the ships in
this country. the simple answer may be
made that they will be built here if our
shipbulders be given free hand.
