The animus of the friars in the Philip
pines is shown by a circular which they
have issued attacking Governor Taft and
the members of the commission in the most
scurrilous manner. The offense of the
commission was issuing a proclamation re-
minding the people that under American
rule there was complete separation of
church and state, and that the commission
could not interfere in religious affairs.
For this the friars denounce the members
Of the commission as 'bufoons," talk
alive foreigners vile prosecutors and
pusillanimous politicians who are seeking
to overthrow the church under the guise
of a pernicious liberty and attempting to
eclipse the sun of the moral world" The
circular calls on Catholics morally to unite
against this impious and irreligious gov
ernment." The friars are so intensely
odious to the Fflipinos that their indecent
attack on the commission will probably
tend 10 popularize 1t.

posed fast steamship line from Berehaven
TO the United States, by which it is hoped
the voyage will be accomplished in four
and one-half days. The bill had already
passed the House of Commons. Lord James,
of Hereford, remarked that such great
public interests were concerned that the
government desired to pass the bill at the
present session. He added that the pro-
moters desired to construct harbor works.
with the object of %inaugurating a line of
steamers TO the United States. The steam
ers will be built in Great Britain, and will
accomplish the voyage in four and a half
days. The assent of the Admiralty officials,
who are constructing naval works at Bere-
haven, had been given for the building of
the proposed works in the foreshore.
Considerable excitement has been caused
In shipping circles by the plans for the new
transatlantic service. The shippers have
been taken somewhat by surprise. They
generally express the opinion that the pro-
jected line will be equipped with turbine
engines.

that this would release line officer each ship

Spanish war this plan actually tried, the pay
officer rendering efficient and satisfactory in
charge of the powder division in many cases About
seventy pay officers board ship could be so en-
ployed. The Navigation Bureau has approved the
suggestion in view of the shortage Of officers Fol-
lowing this idea further, the Paymaster General

edge the laws should be changed so hereafter
