sEnDoFF FOR TAFT.
-Four Thousand Filiplnos Call to Bid
Him Farewell.

Mapiia, Dec. Glover 1000 mem.
bers Of the Federal party called on
Governor Taft to bid him farewell and
TO wish him a safe return The gov.
ernor addressed 100 of the most promi.
nent OF his visitors. saying that he
was touched and honored by their
presence. The organization, he add.
ed. had done so much toward ringing
about peace and giving the country a
stable party that 1t argues more for
the success OF American labor than
anything else during the recent criti-
cal times.
The reports circulated In the United
States, founded on incidents connected
with the war in Batangas province
and the island OF Samar, the governor
said. tend 10 convey a wrong impress
sion of the situation. which Is really
EoTeful.
The military disaster In Samar had.
be said. created an unfounded feeling
OF uneasiness concerning the condi-
ton Of the people of the rest OF the
archipelago. The war in Batangas
and Samar, kept up by misguided men,
furnishes the only obstacle TO obtain
Ing liberal legislation on the part OF
congress.
Concluding, the governor said that
he would return here. He liked the
Filipinos and regretted leaving at this
particular time. but he expected to be
back before May and he hoped to have
the pleasure OF presenting the Federal
paTty's memorial to the president.

MUCH GOOD WILL RESULT.
Senator Hanna Discusses the Labor.
Capital Conference.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Senator Han
rs, chairman of the committee OF SO,
who has just returned from the capital
labor conference In New York, was at
The White House during the day and
talked most hopefully of the results OF
the conference.
Il consider the conference" said he,
"the greatest step ever taken for the
speedy settlement OF disputes arising
between labor and capital. The organ
ization of capital, which has come to
stay, was an evolution which was nat
urally preceded by the organization of
labor, which also has come to stay, and
the concentration OF the interests ofthe
two sides, which should be friendly,
not hostile, into the hands of a COM
paratively few individuals, viii make
for the best interests of both. Too
much, OF course, must not be expected
Ct first The agreement reached at
the New York conference was simply
n platform and the agreement that is
TO result from IL must develop In the
future. The public must not get the
idea that we are to revolutionize ev.
erything relating to the condition OF
labor and capital or that the joint com.
nittee is to undertake arbitration by
compulsion. In fact we are opposed TO
compulsory arbitration We believe we
can accomplish more by getting into
closer touch and contact with labor,
The first step viii be to establish a
relationship between the two inter.
ests and this viii serve as a founda
ton to work on. While We do not ex
ipect there will be no strikes, they will
be minlmized as a result OF the concil
tation and arbitration policy"

Pittsburg, Dec. 21-Three dead, one
missing and twelve injured Is the re
suit of terrific boiler explosion at
the Black Diamond steel works of
Park Bros. on Thirtieth street.
From what can be learned battery
of four boilers exploded. all at one
time. reducing the mill to heap of
burned and chaTred timbers and twist
ed iron. There is not a straight piece
OF iron or steel in the entire building.
Even the bolts in the beams and string
ers are twisted like screw nails. The
explosion, which occurred in the early
morning hours, caused a panic among
the people living in the neighborhood.
many Of whom jumped from their beds
and rushed into the street shrieking
and shouting.
Reuben Miller, Jr., superintendent
of the plant, states that the boilers
were examined last week and pro
nounced in excellent condition. No
known cause can be given for the ex.
plosion. but thorough investigation
IS now in progress.

has been made While for the past
two or three years, the total amount

greatest Improvement of this year, IS
the fine steel water tower and tank
erected at cost of So, coo. 1t cccu-
pies a commanding position, rising
above the town to sufficient height
to be seen for miles around. This
tower gives the city excellent fire pro-

phones are in service today, and with
the net work of phones being put in

country, will be probably increased to
fully a hundred another year.

Statement by Secretary Wilson Re.
aardlng Microscopic Inspection.

earding Microscopic Inspection.
Washington, Dec. 21.-Secretary
Wilson stated that discontinuance of
the microscopic inspection of meats
sent abroad would mean the entire
suspension Of exports and lose US the
s20000,000 worth OF meats annually
sold to Germany. The lack of funds,
he explained, WIS due to the increased
work of the past year and the two
weeks leave of absence granted each
employe of the bureau outside Of this
city, which necessitated the employ
ment of additional men. Secretary
Wilson said he has asked congress to
male part of the appropriation for the
coming year Immediately available
and that he has no doubt congress
will grant this authority as 1t has
done so frequently in previous years.

the microscopic inspections viii pro-
coed notwithstanding the notice given

reau OF animal industry"
