age and banking in the Philippines and
report to the secretary of war recon-

The stores of Manila are compelled
to accept two Mexican dollars for one
gold dollar, while Chinese spectators
are paying as high as six per cent
premium in American paper money for
American gold.
Local bankers say that If the salaries
of all insular employees We're paid in

GOV. JENKINS BOUNCED
FOR MISUSE OF OFFICE

Washington, Dec. 1.-The President
yesterday appointed Thomas b. Fergu-
son governor of Oklahoma, vice Will
lam NJ. jenkins, removed. In taking
this action the President attached to
the papers the following memorandum
"Governor jenkins of Oklahoma is
hereby removed because of his I'M
proper connection with contract be
tween the territory and the Oklahoma
Sanitarium Company. The decision is
based wholly upon his own written
statements, and his oral explanations
of them Mt the hearing.
zone of the duties of the territorial
governor is to enter into the contract
with some person or corporation Tor
keeping the insane of the territory.
Governor Jenkins made such contract
with the oklahoma Sanitarium, cor
poration, the promoters of which re-
served $4,000 of its stock for the gov
ernor and subject to his orders.
I'm the governors explanation of the
the time they desired him to sanction
the contract that it was an important
contract; that L had some friends
whom l would like to have interests in
the company. to which / owed some OBJ
legations which l would not be able to
pay with an appointment or anything
of that kind The stock was delivered
to u banker subject to the governor S
order and was turned over to these
friends whose political services the
governor thus sought to reward.
"The extent of the favor to the gov
ernor and his friends is suggested by
the fact that the only known sale of
the stock since the contract was given
out was at double the price paid for it.
"As performance of the contract was
to be the sole business of the corpora
ton, II is obvious that the territory was
obligated to pay far more than the ser
vice was worth. or that its helpless
wards were to have the enormous prof
its contemplated taken out of their
keep.
THE governors confessed relations
to the matter displayed such lack of
appreciation of the high fiduciary ma
ture of the duties of his office as to
unfit him for their further discharge.
"A sound rule OF public policy and
morals forbids public servant from
seeking or accepting any personal bene-
fit in a transaction wherein he has Il
public duty to perform.
"A chancellor would not for one mo-
ment retain trustee. who, in dealing
for the trust, reserved an advantage to
himself. The thought is not to be toll
Grated that the President can be less
vigilant and eXacting in the public in
tereSt"
The above memorandum is signed by
the President.

Manila. Dec. 2.-The financial situa-
tion in the Philippines islands is caus-
ing much alarm. In an interview pub
lished in Manila, Henry g. Ide, chief
of the Department of Finance and JUS
tice, referred to the probable enforce
ment of an alteration in the immcdi-
ate future of the present parity of two
Mexican dollars for one gold dollar.
The United States postotiice here now
refuses, except to government en-
ployes, to issue money orders in eX-
change for Mexican silver. The banks
of Manila have been making from six
to eight per cent on exchange. Mer-
chants and others are forced to carry
their accounts in Mexican silver. The
commercial community had relied up
on the United States Philippine Com
mission to continue the situation of
two Mexican dollars for one gold dol
lar, which the commission itself ere
ated. The Scommission is unable to act
in the matter without the authority of

rbro,n from HI. caq and Killed. Z

The following is most interesting
and, in one respect. pathetic tale;-
Mr.. ]. Pope, AZ Ferrar Road, Streat-
ham, England, said
Eyes, poor chap. he is gone, dead
horse bolted, thrown off his seat on
his cab he was driving and killed
poor chap, and a good sort, too, mate.
1t was him, you see, who gave me the
half-bottle OF St. Jacobs OIL that
made a new man of me. Twas like
this: me and Bowman were great
friends. Some gentleman had given
him bottle of ST. Jacobs Oil which
had done him lot of good; he only
used half the bottle, and remembering
that I had been martyr to rheuma-
tism and sciatica for years, that l had
literally tried everything, had doctors,
and all without benefit, l became dis
couraged, and looked upon 1t that
there was no help for me. Well" said
Pope. you may not believe me, for
1t is a miracle, but before l had
used the contents of the half-bottle
of st. Jacobs Oil which poor Bowman
gave me, l was a well man. There
it is, you see, after years of pain, after
using remedies, oils, embrocations,
horse liniments, and spent money on
doctors without getting any better,
was completely cured in few days.

pain might come back, but it did nqD

Alarmed by Fan in silver

New York, Dec. 1.-The fall in sill
yer threatens to cause depression in the
Manchester cotton trade by diminish
ing experts to China and India, cables
the London representative of the Tri-
bune. 1t is attributed to heavy sales
by American .smelters, rather than to
premature rumOrs that the Chinese
government will dump an enormous
quantity of silver on the European
market in meeting the first instalment
of the indemnity. Indian trade is,
however, favorable and Manchester
alarmists are hardly justified in fore
casting anything more than tempor-
arv flow.

DENVER'S CITY HALL BUILDING
PARTLY DESTROYED BY FIRE

shortly after the alarm was sounded.
when five flremen were entrapped on
narrow cOrnice on the tower on the
Larimer street side and stood in the
midst of smoke and flames for nearly
half an hour before their companions
were able to rescue them.
Nearly all of the city officials were
at the city hall within forty-fve min
utes after the first alarm was sounded
1t was nt first believed that the fire
could be confined to the top floor, but
when 1t was seen that there was dan
ger that 1t might destroy the entire
building n volunteer force was organ
lied to carry out the more valuable
documents and records from the va
rious offices. Public officials, citizens
and firemen rushed into the building
to carry out armfuls of big books,
packages of papers, maps and furnl-
ture Notwithstanding their efforts
many valuable documents, maps,
drawings and records We're destroyed
by fire and water
The loss on the building is estimated
at about $4,000.
The loss on furniture is amply COW
cred by the 5000 policy, but loss of
$4,000 approximately was sustained
on maps and blue prints of public work
in progress and valuable records in the
Health Department chemical and bac-
THEOLOGICAL laboratories and in other
departments, some of which must be
replaced and some of which cannot be
replaced.
The total loss, therefore. is approx
mately 100000, and $27, 800 of this is
not covered by Insurance.

cense clerk, discovered n fire in the
basement. A closet under the stair
way leading from the basement to the
first floor of the building, which had
been filled with rags and paper, was
the scene of the first blaze, which was
extinguished with little difficulty.

ators' room on the fourth floor of the

found the lockers which lined the
rooms were in flames. The operators
notified the firemen in the basement of

tinguished with little difficulty.
