ST0WAWAYS NOT ILL TREATED
Their Lot Not SO Hard as People
Think.

Occasionally a stowaway enters this
port aboard of n vessel from foreign
country. If the unfortunate cannot
prove his citizenship he is taken back to
the place he came from. A talk with the
customs officer here shows that stow
aways are fairly well treated when their
presence aboard ship is discovered.
OF course enough work is got out Of
them to compensate for their passage
and there is always something that can
be found for them to do. But for fear of
legal complications upon arrival in port
they are not ill-treated and their lot on
shipboard is not 50 hard as most people
suppose.

Brazil, Ind, April 9.-The block coal
miners, by a unanimous vote, yester-
day rejected the proposition made by
the operators Saturday, which was
practically the same as the settlement
in the bituminous field. The hitch
comes on the powder question. The
operators insist upon the miners pur-
chasing powder from the company at
$l.75 keg, and the miners refused
to sign the contract unless the powder
clause shall be eliminated. The miners
arc still idle and no work will be done
until settlement shall be reached.

PHILIPPINES GOVERNMENT,

crnOr of the Islanda

Washington. April 9.-The news from
Manila regarding the establishment of
civil government is in accord with
Information already made public her.
that the new Philippine government
will be established about July /. One
Of the most interesting features is the
question as to who will be in supreme
authority under the president. The
law gives the president power to name
some. one to have supreme command.
Judge Taft, it Is understood, is to
be the governor of the islands, but It
will be necessary to have some one in
Washington to act as the medium OF
communication between the president
and the governor, and some cabinet Of
fcer will be selected to have charge of
the Philippines as we'll as other in
~ular affairs.
Authority over the islands probably
viii be exercised by the president
t. ugh Secretary Root, as the secre-
tar. is familiar with the governmental
machinery Of the islands.
