EFFECT IN THIS COUNTRY.
Will Reduce Criticisms of the Uni
ted States Government.
AGUlNALDO Is SERvICEABLE.

Washington, April 22.-It is believed
by the administration that the mani
festo of Agunaldo will have decidedly
good effect both in the Philippines and
in this country. 1t will take some
time for its dissemination among the
Filipinos, but it is expected to be of
considerable service and to make more
rapid the improvement in the situation
which set in some time ago and has
become quite marked of late. Especial
qualification is felt at the unreserved
tone of the document and the full ac-
ceptance it indicates of American rule.
This, it is felt, will bring to the sup
port of the government many Filipinos
who, wishing for peace, have hesitated
to assist the Taft commission.
In this country it is expected to re-
duce the criticism of the administra-
ton and to cause less discussion of the
general policy of the war in the islands
and more consideration of the impor-
tant matter of the best administration
to be evolved for their government. 1t
is to this work that the Taft commits
sion is now bending all its energies.
Aguinaldo, now that he has accepted
American sovereignty, probably will
be given more liberty than he has en-
joyed hitherto. His services will be
used as far as possible in the pacitica-
ton Of the islands. The extent, how
ever. to which he will be permitted his
freedom is for General Macarthur to
determine, with the assistance of the
Taft commission, for the aim of the
home government will be to rest large
ly upon the views held by it's represen-
tatives in the islands

Refnre u. & Grand Jury.

Topeka, April 2o-The federal grand
jury has begun an investigation of the
accounts of ex-Warden French, of the
United States penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth, and his deputy, NJ. r.
Allen. French was appointed warden
under the Cleveland administration.
and held the place until two years ago.
The department of justice had experts
go over the prison accounts and irregu-
1arities were discovered which placed
French and Allen both in an en-
barrsssing position.

rri.rs WIN Not Return.

Cebus, Island OF Cebus, p. l., April
sO.-Judge Taft, president of the Phil
ippine commission, says that Monsig-
nor Chappelle, the papal delegate to
the Philippine Islands told him the
friars were not to return to the pro-
vinces and that only a sufficient num-
Der of them were now in Manila to act
as instructors in the colleges. This
disposes of the troublesome friar ques-
ton. Cebus is the first island to be
visited by the commission upon which
the instruction is still active.

Increasing School Fund.

Topeka, April 22.-The state treas
ury now has on hand S7.4li, 422.23 in
bonds in the permanent school fund.
This is the largest amount of bonds
this fund ever had. During the past
two years the commissioners have pur-
chased s2,256,o74.55 in bonds. This is
also a record breaker. 1.-The perma-
nent school fund is increasing at the
rate of sl50,OOO a year." said Roy
Richie, bond clerk in the treasurer's
Office.

Walnut Tree Brings $4,000.

mammoth black walnut tree on
the farm of E. P. Gaus in Williams
county, Ohio, has just been sold for
$4,000. Several lumber dealers have
examined chips from this tree, and
all have declared it to be the finest
specimen of that kind of wood they
ever saw. The tree was eight feet
in diameter, forty feet above the
stump and extended seventy-three feet
from the butt to the first limb.

Made s4oo ON a New Game.

Lawrence, April 22.-Joseph Tran
sue, farmer living near here, was
neatly swindled out of $500 recently.
A stranger. claiming he owned the
mortgage on the Transue farm, asked
Mr.. Transue 70 pay down $500, in
return for which liberal concessions
on interest would be made. Mr.. Tran
sue turned over the money and has just
found out his mistake. There is no
trace of the fnancier.

Great Engineering Problem.

The plan of the Central Pacific rail-
road to cut off 107 miles by crossing
Great Salt lake involves a great en-
cheering problem The lake has to be
crossed at point where it is thirty
two miles wide, trestle-work being
necessitated for the whole of the dis
lance, excepting two miles across the
rocky Promontory point. The view
afforded passengers over the new route
will be novel and picturesque.

Passengers, Rights In Transfers.

In St. Lor.s, where street car trans
fers are good only within an hour OF
the time of their issuance, an ordi-
nance has been introduced in councils
to compel the companies to place a
clock in every car. The companies
rake no allowance for mistakes of
the conductors in punching the time
on the transfers and the object of the
proposed legislation is to enable pas
sengers to call the conductors to &C
count when they err.

DRINKING IN THE SOUTH.
sreat Decline OF BibuIOus Habits
since the War Ended.

Before the beginning OF the civil war
and for several years after the distinction
of the Southern States as those which
produced and consumed larger amount
of spirituous liquors than any other
group of States In the country was I'M
challenged. But since the close or the
war a complete. palpable and very
marked change has come almost imper-
ceptibly over the face of things in the
South. and while Kentucky and Maryland
continue to produce whisky In very large
quantities. as warehouse returns OF the
United States Treasury Indicate. the
larger part of the product of both states
is shipped North; comparatively little Is
sent South for consumption In TACT, the
South is becoming the temperance section
of the United States. and of 2J,Ob retaH
liquor dealers in the United States having
licenses of various sorts, there are only
1000 in Alabama. 40 in Arkansas, iOV IN
Florida, Loo in Georgia, $50 in Mlssis-
sippi. 1900 in North Carolina, and 80 in
South Carolina. where the dispensary
system prevails, and in which there has
been very marked reduction in the sales
OF liquor during recent years.
Mississippi has had since 1892 a high
license law calling for d tax on each sa-
loon of $500 a year. and there are now
fewer saloons in that State than in some
wards of New York or Brooklyn Geor-
gia has been since 1881 a high license
State with absolute prohibition in ma
ioritv of counties. In Atlanta there is
now one liquor saloon only Tor eacl l,vyo
of population, and there Is very nlucn
less drinking in Georgia Inall III any ~"
England State, although climatic condl-
lions account OF course. for some part
of this North Carolina has a local license
law which permits a majority or the
electors in any locality to establish aoso-
Iute prohibition. and the license rate IN
West Virginia is $3.50 for even the small
est tavern.
If Is not however. Sc much In conse-
uuence of laws as of local custom to which
these laws are responsive that extensive
drinking has fallen of in so many of the
states OF the South. There Is no longer
I'm that section the large leisure class
from which In great measure. the most
frequent drinkers were recruited. The
problems consequent upon the close OF the
civil war made necessary many personal
sacrifices by Southern men, and the era
following reconstruction was not one IA
vorable either to conviviality or dissipa-
ton. There are. relatively, few large cities
I'm the Southern States. and the enormous
Improvement in railroad connection has
had the effect of doing away with tins
necessity of long journeys by wagon or
horseback such as marked the business
life of the South during previous genera
lions Comparatively little liquor is drunk
in the South at present, not much more
beer, and practically no wine. state
in which wine and whisky drinking has
increased considerably in California. :.

KILLING THE SONG BIRDS.
Southern Negroes Primarily Rcspon-
sibIe for Their Destruction.
OFfom the New YORK SUM


To the Editor of the Sun l have
read with great interest an article I'm to-
days Sun under the heading No Song
Birds on Women's Hats"
The work done by the Audubon and 9th
er ornitholOgiCal societies throughout the
North q am under the impression that
there is similar society in nearly every
one of the Northern States is most com
mendable. and the result OF their work
is all that could he desired here And
yet they report that despite the fact
that laws have been enacted for the pro-
tectlOn OF uOn-Rame birds. the birds are
decreasing because our State is reluctant
To legislatc against birds brought from
other States"
Here lies the entire solution of this
difficult and most interesting problem. If
the Audubon and kindred societies will
send missionaries ipto the Southern
states. and through organizations there
procure the enactment and enforcement
of laws preventing the present wholesale
slaughter Of song birds, in a very few
years they viii come back to us again as
plentiful and joyous as ever.
The birds are not slaughtered there
Tor their feathers. as popular sentiment
here has now prohibited their sale to any
great extent, but Tor food.
In the winter OF 90 | was for some time
in Mobile. Ala. My business, a survey
took me into the suburbs during the day
within a radius of ten miles of the ter
minus OF the trolley line at the outskirts
Of the city. All day long in every direc-
ii IN We heard the pop! por, pop OF shot
suils-negroes shooting robins, and every
bird q wintry visitor from the north. As
We returned at the close of the day the
trolley car would be loaded with negroes
carrying great strings of our beloved
birds, until II made my heart bleed NOT
a game bird among them, but hundreds
of sacred sougsters
Upon further enquiry ! found this was
universal throughout the South. When
ever a negro gets 81 30 he can buy Il sin
gle-harreled shotgun; few cents more
ana he can get ammunition Tor his muir
derous work
From out every city and hamlet of the
South they rush when the winter comes
t. wholesale slaughter. They have no
thought beyond potpie, and 1t is only
10y making our song bird here a non
game bird there that We can prevent
their entire destruction, tor 50 long as n
negro can accumulate $3.50 so long VIII
he hunt for that blessed potpie
There are enough good women In the
South to maintain Audubon societies If
our women of the North Will show them
the necessity Tor 1t, and there are enough
| good men to support them enact ana en-
| force the laws If the women there are
awakened by their sisters OF the NORTH
| TO the fact that they hold the Key to the
entire situation.
My impression Is that this is good OPP
portunity for missionaries TO 40 some
