SAYS PEACE IS
 ABOUT RESTORED
CONGRESSMAN SHAFROTH WHO HAS BEEN TRAVELLING DE- cLAREs CONDITIONS ARE SAT lSFAcToRY-TRADE IN CHINA.

Denver, Colo, October 6.-Congressman John F. Shafroth, who has been travelling in China and the Philippines for the past four months, has arrived home. Speaking of the conditions in the Philippines, he said:
 Peace has been practically restored. There is still little insurrection in Sa- mar, but aside from that everything is fairly quiet. I do not believe, however, that the retention of the islands will be profitable as the government will have to expend great deal of money on them even in times of peace. It costs now be- tween $6000O,00O and $75 GOO, ,00O a year to keep the soldiers there, and even if the number Is reduced to 30,000, the expense will still be greater than the profits from the islands will warrant. | ne islands are unquestionably rich. but their benefit to the United States will not materialize un- til a generation or two has passed and the need for an army in the islands has gone"
 In regard to China, MT. Chafroth says:
 "The trade of the United States with China has grown rapidly and this coun- try will soon be keeping pace in the struggle for supremacy. The danger of invasion of American fields by the Chi nese is not very great as long as the ex- clusion act is in force. but as this ex- pires next May the problem will be one for the government to again consider. So far the government has not allowed the Chinese to enter the Philippines, and presume will exclude them from there as long as they are kept out of the United States"
 MT. Shafroth looked into the silver question in the Philippines and will, when Congress meets this winter, submit plan for the reopening of the mint at Manila and the establishment of free coinage of the silver of the islands, Mexican and English silver coins are now circulated in the islands, and as American bills and gold command premium In China and neighboring countries, most of the Amer lean money Is now driven out of the country

TARIFF FOR PHILIPPINES.
New Schedule to Go In Effect on
 November 1.


 New York, October GA special to the Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin from Washington says:
 The War Department has just made public the revised "customs tariff of the Philippine archipelago as enacted Sep tember IT by the United States Philip pine commission" It takes effect on No- vem Der 15. The new tariff is revision of the provisions of general order No. 49, office of the United States military Gov ernor in the Philippines. dated October 23. 1899, and several orders supplemental thereto and amendatory thereof.
 Its promulgation at this time may be regarded as an indication of the belief entertained by the war department that the supreme court will probably take the same view in regard to the constitution ality of revnue relations with the Philip pines as it did in the case or Porto Rico. That Is to say, says the Journal of Com merce's Washington correspondent, so long as the Philippines are under the control of the war department and in the absence of specific action to the contrary by congress, they are regarded as foreign territory. tut
 The new tariff was drafted for the purpose of producing about $l,0000O0 rev. enue a month. Its formulation has been entirely by new methods. It has been published and republished and exporters and importers have been invited to ex- anime 1t and suggest changes or amend mentS.

WE'RE
 IN THE MASSACRE
SAvAGES WHO HAD TAKEN THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE IN AT TACK ON COMPANY c-INTENsE FEELING IN THE ARMY.

Manila, October 6-Major Morris c. Foote of the Ninth United States in- fantry, who has returned here from the island of Samar, was in Balangiga the He says that Captain Cornell had been fully warned and had taken what he (Major Foote) considered every necessary precaution. It was evident that a plot was brewing among the F'ilipinos which came to Major Foote from priest who said that 1t was the plans of the populace at both Balangiga and Bazy to attack the garrison, and that the Bazy garrison was to be attacked from a cockpit in the rear of the barracks. Orders wIre im- medlately given to demolish the cockpit and extra guards were stationed.
 There is intense feeling throughout the army because of the massaclI, which would not be the case to such an extent had 1t been the work of ordinary insur- gents. The latter might have been ex- pected to commit such an outrage. Feel ing is particularly intense in military cir cles because the authors of the massacre were pacificos, most of whom had taken the od.h oI alleSlance ana many or whom, including the president of Balangiga, were actually holding office.
 Some of the after effects are already shown at many points, particularly at Baulan and Caloocan In the pitvince of Batangas and Manila, where dissatisfac- ton Is manifesting itself. although it is not likely to be allowed to go far
 On the other hand the officers and troops at all the garrisons throughout the archipelago feel that the disaster con veys lesson to themselves for the neces- sity of increased vigilance.

Dear Sir I have been a great sufferer from bladder trouble for two years and my case was of very serious nature compelling me to have several painful and dangerous operations I have also taken many different remedies I taken Swamp Root three years. Warmers Sale cure two years, and they only gave temporary relief.
 After having two operations and pre- pairing for the third I saw your Texas Wonder advertised, and purchased a bot tie. And l got almost immediate relief, and have continued to improve every since.

 Wishing you success, am,
