The Erie Wins Championship of the
 Great Lakes.

Cleveland. O., June 4-The 1O0-mile race from Cleveland to Erie today between the Cleveland passenger steamer City of Erie, owned by the Cleveland and Buffalo Transit Company, and the Tashmoo, De- troits crack passenger boat, owned by the White Star Company, was in many respects the most noteworthy race ever sailed on fresh water. The Erie covered the distance in hours, 19 minutes and g seconds, passing the stakeboat at Erie 45 seconds ahead of the Tashmoo, beating the later by 45 seconds elapsed time
 Aside from winning the speed cham pionship of the great lakes the Erie won about one hundred thousand dollars for those who bet on her.
 The boat made approximately nearly 23 miles an hour. It was neck and neck from the starting point until just above Fairport, where the Erie encountered shallow water and fell three lengths be- hind her rival. The Tashmoo sailed by spurts, getting ahead for a while then falling back, while the Erie maintained a steady gait. When the victorious craft entered the Cleveland harbor this after noon on her return from the race she was greeted with a tremendous ovation.

The President and Cabinet
 Decide That One is Not Necessary
No APPREHENSION IS FELT
Over the Philippine Sltuation-The DingIey Tariff Law Will Be Ap- piled to Imports From Islands
 Pending Court Decision.

Washington June 4.-The cabinet to- day unanimously decied that existing conditions do not warrant the calling of an extra session of Congress this sum mer.
 Secretary Root and Attorney General Knox both rendered legal opinions to the effect that the authority to govern the Philippines by the President in the Spoon- CT amendment was ample. These opinions W re concurred in by an the members of the cabinet.
 The decision of the cabinet was an- nounced after the cabinet met in the following statement issued by Secretary Cortelyou:
 'The President has determined that existing conditions do not require or war rant calling Congress together during the present summer or making any change In the policy hitherto pursued and an- nounced in regard to the Philippines"
 It can be authoritatively stated that the Dingley rates upon goods from the Phil ippines entering the United States will remain in force as heretofore. The Presi- dent will put into effect such changes in the tariff duties on goods going into the Philippines as the Taft commission may recommend. The establishment of civil government, so-called, in the archipelago can proceed without interruption as soon as the military authorities consider the time ripe for its establishment.
 The supreme court decisions as viewed by tho administration settles, first, that the Foraker act Is constitutional; second, that collection of duties on Porto Rican products between the time of the cession of the island Of Porto Rico and the pass age of the Foraker act was illegal and must be refunded. These are held to be in the main essential points of the decis- ions. Nothing in them is construed to to apply to the tariff situation as between the United States and the Philippines. The conclusions of the cabinet are not based on any knowledge as to the pros pective Philippine decisions of the Su- preme Court, though it is declared there is little apprehension as to the findings of that decision If the present system Is upset in that decision, which is not antic- ipated, there will be little difficulty, it is believed. in refunding the amounts mean time collected under protest

 AMERICAN TRICK
General CaiIIes Does Not Be- lieve AguinaIdo Has
 Been Captured

Manila, June 4.-Guevarra. adjutant to General Cailles, had three hours in terview with Aguinaido today. He said that Cailes did not believe that Aguinaldo had been captured and consequently is- sued proclamation characterizing Agu- inaldo's address to the Filipino people as an American trick Aguinaldo, through Guevarra, advised Cailles to surrender immediately. After this interview Gener- al Wade and General Summer informed Guevarra that Cailles must notify them at Pagsajan not later than next Monday of his decision in the matter. The Amer ican generals declined to guarantee that Cailles would not be prosecuted.
 General Trias, in company with Senor Lucban, brother of the insurgent leader still operating in Samar, has gone to Sa- mar Island and will attempt to induce Lucban to surrender
 Some of the leaders of the federal party have prepared a resolution in which 1t is declared the party will disband unless the United States civil commission reappoint several Filipino judges who have recently been removed from office. Upon the ad- vice of the more rational party the resolu- ton was not presented. The wisest of the federal leaders are convinced of the lack of wisdom in forcing discord, especially at time when the administration at Wash. ington is about to confer general civi government in the archipelago.
 The commission tomorrow will resume the organization of civil government ir the provinces. A bill has been prepared creating fourteen judicial circuits. The salaries of the circuit judge range from $3,5O0 to $5.500 a year. Judge Bates and Judge Ladd will probably be assigned to the circuits of Iloilo and Cebu respective lv

CIVIL, GOVERNMENT TO BE
 SET UP IN THE PHILIPPINES

The exercise of authority in the Philip pines is to be by virtue of the supreme power reposed in the President; 1t may be either as commander-in-chief of the United States military establishment, or by reason of the special designation in the Spooner law; perhaps either 1t is said, would be sufficient.
 The civil government is to be estab- lished under the military government and will be a civil government exercised through the military powers of the President. Dingley duties will be eol- lected on imports from the Philippines. The failure of the Supreme Court to announce a decision in the fourteen dia- mond rings case-the one involving the legality of the imposition of Dingley duties on goods coming from the Philip pines-is regarded as warranting the be- lief that the court did not find in this case a parallel to the DeLima case.
