Thomas to-day transmitted his final mes
sage to the Legislature. Concerning the
condition OF the States finances and plans
for increasing the revenues. he said: Our

companies. under the Jurisdiction of the
State Board of Equalization. / know Of
no other method whereby they can be
compelled TO equltably and justly contribute
to the public burdens. Their evasions OF
the revenue laws are general and notorious.
They are powerful financially and po-
HticaIly and use both in the choice and
control OF the assessing authority, thereby
securing the adoption Of their own valua-
TONS

policy, but the danger was that the army
would be Increased eventually TO one CT
several hundreds of thousands-an army
that would dominate the country. He sug-
gested that the military affairs committee
ought to prepare a bill providing Tor d
special Philippine army.

President was sent to Congress.
They have changed very materially" re-
piled Mr.. Sewell. I'VE now have more Skin
mishes there than at any time almost since
the beginning of the war"
Mr.. Tillman said the bill should provide
that enlisted men should be returned TO
this country when their services longer
were required, no matter whether they had
been discharged by court-martial or not.
Mr.. Hawley said the necessity for
adequate army was evident TO all. We are
not altogether out of sight of some posi-
bility of war with some European power:
We do not know They are in great deal
OF trouble there, and / understand they
look with very great jealousy upon our
talk of Danish island and our talk
about acquiring other territory He said
that all that Is possible is being done to win
the hearts of the Filipinos, but that with
some of them progress is necessarily slow,
because of the past experience OF the peo-
pie with their rulers. He said the Senate
military committee was unanimously of the
opinion that a strong army should be kept
in the Philippines
Mr.. Carter defended the proposed increase
of the permanent army in view of the tenn
per of the Philippine people 1t " ould be
necessary to continue to police the islands
for an indefinite time. He thought fully Co.,
600 men would be necessary for that pur-
pose. At present more American soldiers
would be needed than later, when there
were better telegraph and mail facilities.
To persistent inquiries from Mr.. Bacon as
TO how long time would be necessary to
keep large an army in the Philippines
Mr. Carter replied that the word ''indefi-
mite" fits the situation very well. The Fill
pinos, Mr. Carter argued, should be made
to understand, once for all, that it is the
purpose of the United States to maintain
law and order in the Philippines, and he
to do that was permanently to increase the
army
After some routine business had been

wELL-KNowN LEADER IN METH
oDrsT EPISCOPAL CHURCH WORK.
Died Suddenly I'm Detroit of Heart
Failure, Probably Caused by
Cold Caught at n Funeral.

DETROIT, Mich. Jan. 3-Bishop W. x.
Ninde, aged sixty-nine years, of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church. was found dead
in his bed at his home here to-day. 1t is
thought the cause of death twas heart
trouble He attended funeral yesterday
and caught a cold. The deceased had
been bishop OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church since 1884, and was known through
out the United States. Prior to his cleo
ton as bishop he was pastor of the Cen
trail Methodist Episcopal Church here, and
was at one time missionary in India
He leaves a wife. three sons and one
daughter. One son, Edward, is a Metho-
dist minister at Ann Arbor. His daughter
Mary was formerly a missionary worker
in India She is now in the South with
her brother Fred. who is i'll. The other
son, George. is also i'll at his home here.
Yesterday the presiding elders of Michigan
held conference here and decided to sell
the episcopal residence here, now occupied
by Bishop Nindes family, because the
churches of Michigan, outside OF Detroit
and other large cities, failed to contribute
sufficient funds TO maintain it.
William W Ninde was born in Cortland,
n. Y. in 1892. and was the son of es-
teemed minister. He spent most of his
early life in northern and central New
York. and, while quite young, became a
student In Wesleyan University, at Middle
town, Conn.,, and graduated with honor In
1856. In the following year he was received
on probation in the Black River Confer
ence, rapidly rose as a preacher, and was
placed in charge of several important
churches. In 1861 he was transferred to
Cincinnati, and was appointed TO Trinity
NJ. Il. Church, the most important in that
city. After being pastor of four different
churches in Cincinnati. in 1870 he was trans
ferred to Detroit Conference, and stationed
at Central M. +. Church in Detroit. the
leading charge in that city.
Very soon after he entered the ministry
he displayed superior pulpit abilities, and
being also a highly cultivated scholar, his
ministry was eminently successful and his
services were much sought after This led
to his transfer from one point to another.
During his pastoral life his superior quail
ifications as a theologian and educator be-
came known, and in 1873 he was elected to
the chair of practical theology in Garrett
Biblical Institute, at Evanston, III. In
gree of doctor of divinity by his alma
mater, in recognition of his superior a.
tainments as a public speaker cultivated
scholar and master of theological instruc-
ton. DIR. Ninde made the tour of Europe
and the East in 1850. The presidency
of Garrett Biblical Institute becoming va
cant in 1879, he was elected to that position,
which he filed until 1885, Since then he
has lived at Detroit.
In person he was rather tall, we'll pro-
portioned frame, light auburn hair, with
blue eyes and pleasant countenance, clerical
and dignified in mien, and of modest bear
ing and affable manner.

Justice Woods for importing workmen into
Chicago without informing them of the ex-
istence of strike troubles at his plant.

good ten-foot lead on Stinson, who was his
closest competitor. Walthour's distance
was 759 miles laps. With the exception of
a few brief moments during the evening,
the day has been quiet in the extreme. The
afternoons work was unrelieved by any
sprints aside from the finish When
the men came back in the evening they
seemed to have more ambition and the first
hours work was OF good quality. About 10
clock there were a number of warm
sprints. but otherwise the evening was
much like the afternoon. There was not a
tumble of a serious nature to-day and the
men seemed to be fresh and able 10 go.
Contrary to expectation there were no att
tempts at tapping all day. To brace up the
riding the management has offered $40 to
the first man who shall gain lap to-mor-
row.
The figures for the fortieth hour and
fourth day were follows: Walthour,
Stinson, Mclean, Kaser. .McEachern,
Downey and Fischer 759 miles laps; Bah
