Washington, June 5.-The plan of a
modus vivendi on the subject of the
Chinese indemnities is now receiving
the earnest attention of those inter-
ested in the Chinese negotiations, the
purpose being to prevent the indem-
nifty question from causing an inter-
ruption in the concert of the powers
and at the same time to remove the
indemnity issue itself so that progress
can be made on the remaining SUBJ
jects of negotiation, since the return
of the president and Secretary Hay
from the West the indemnity question
has been thoroughly gone. over with
the foreign representatives chiefly
concerned, including the British, Rus
sian and French and the Japanese
minister. Several of the ambassadors

meIt has just been received II Wash
ington. 1t appears that the first draft
of the amendment as interpreted by
the majority of the committee on re-
lations with the United States, was
submitted to General Wood and by
him sent to Washington. This draft
was approved by Secretary Root and
his approval was made known to the
Cuban convention. When the matter
came up for discussion, however, it
was found that there were number
OF delegates whose votes could only
be obtained by the extended altera-
tons, amendments and interpretations
which finally were adopted by the
convention and rejected by Secretary
Root
1t is stated officially that the peo-
pie of Cuba believed at first that the
Plat amendment had been adopted
and that they were satisfied. Such
was the belief of the people Of the
United States until the draft of the
adopted amendment was received
here. The belief is expressed in off,
cial circles here that the Cuban peo-
pie as whole are perfectly satisfied
with the Plat amendment and that it
will finally be adopted. 49,"

NOT WARRANTED DECISION BY HAY
SECRETARY OF STATE HOLDS
FILIplNos ARE ENTITLED
TO OUR PROTECTION.
INSTRUCTIONS TO cHoAIE

Ambassador to Great Britain Directed
to Issue Passports to Residents Of
the Philippine Islands Who Make
Application for Them-A Circular
Instructions of Like Nature Sent to
American Representatives Abroad.
Washington, June BIN answer to
his application for instructions Sec
rotary Hay has directed Ambassador
Choate, at London, to issue passports
to the two Filipinos who appeared at
the embassy .'as residents of the Phil
ippine islands and as such entitled to
the protection of the United States"
The decision upon this point is of
Importance, as having perhaps some
bearing upon the status Of the people
of the Philippines, Porto Rico and
Guam. A year ago the decision was
reached to regard the Porto Rican as
entitled to the protection conveyed by
an American passport, but formal
decision Of the test case was prevent
ed through the withdrawal of the ap-
plication. The Foraker act deter
mined the right of the Porto Ricans as
Citizens of Porto Rico" to the pro-
lection of the United States govern
ment. It is now held that the Spooner
law conveys the same privilege to the
inhabitants of the Philippines.
The United States statutes pro-
hibit the issue of passports to any but
American citizens. But these later
acts, the Foraker act and the Spoon
.er act, impose obligations in their
turn which may be regarded as quail
flying the original act, and may ena-
BILE the government to avoid de-
cision upon the question of the Amer
lean citizenship of the islanders. At
any rate the circular instructions now
in formulation, which will be sent out
to all United States diplomatic and
consular representatives, will direct
them to issue, not certificates, but
genuine American passports to the
islanders -

THE CABINET UNANIMOUSLY DE-
cIDEs AGAINST EXTRA
SESSION.
HAS SUFFICIENT AUTHORITY
Secretary Root and Attorney General
Knox Decide That the Spooner
Amendment Gives the President
Power to Govern the Philippines.
No Change in the Policy Hitherto
Pursued by the Administration.

Washington, June 5.-The cabinet
has unanimously decided that exist
ing conditions do not warrant the call
ing vi an extra session OF congress
this summer. Secretary Root and At
torney General Knox both rendered
legal opinions to the effect that the
authority to govern the Philippines
vested in the president by the Spooner
amendment was sufficient. These
opinions were concurred in by all the
members of the cabinet.
The decision of the cabinet was an
nounced after the cabinet meeting in
the following statement issued by Sec
rotary Cortelyou:
"The president has determined that
existing conditions do not require or
warrant calling together during the
present summer or making any
change in the policy hitherto pursued
and announced in regard to the Phil
ippine islands"
1t can be authoritatively stated that
the Dingley rates upon goods from the
Philippines entering the United States
will remain in force as heretofore.
The president will put into effect such
changes in the tariff duties on goods
going into the Philippines as the Taft
commission may recommend. The es-
tablishment of civil government in
the archipelago can proceed without
interruption as soon as the military
authorities consider the time ripe for
its establishment. .-

HINTS ON ADVERTISING.

Bright writing isn't necessarily
good advertising.
Advertising, like merchandise,
should be bought and sold for what it
is worth.
Directness is as important in adver-
tising as in the other ends Of business
work. A direct cut across lots is
nearer than going all around to get
there.
Fake advertising has had its day.
The great mass Of buyers no longer
believe they can get the sixty-iiye-
cent kind Of anything at twenty-five
cents.
Scarcely one business man IN Ave
hundred can write as be would talk.
But it is one Of the knacks that must
be acquired-or employed-if effective
adwnting is to be done.
A little space-not too little-iu-
diciously cultivated with yield better
results In proportion to its cost than a
ten-acre lot filled with empty utter
ances aud printers ingenuity.
A good article persistently adver-
tised with even common place ad
vertising will outsell an equally good
article spasmodically announced with
the best ideas the advertising expert
can evolve.
A common complaint with retail ad-
vertisers IN small towns is that the
local paper is SO poorly equipped with
type that good display can not be Sc
cured. This is mistake. Good dis
play can be secured with any outfit q
type I ever saw. says an expert in the
National Printer, and / have seen
some pretty bad ones.
The whoop- hurrah style Of advertise
ment writing is dying a we'll deserved
death. Circus adiectives with their
superlatives upon superlatives, which
we're once successful IN thronging the
store. have been SO much overworked
that a decided reaction has set in An
ad to be alluring must now be con
fidence-inspiring. The store news
which is written in a frank, straight
forward style-the store news which
does not SAVIOR Of sensationalism Of
any kinds the sort which inspires
the public with the coveted confidence.

There is a remarkable man ut Ash
Forks, Arizona, the junction where
the road to Prescott and Phoenix con-
meets With the Santa Fe line. His
name is Pat Driscell He came over
from County Antrim in 1853. and vas
a labOrer in the mines Of Nevada and
California for thirty years, working
most of the time in the tunnels under
ground About 1888 or "a he wan
dered down into Arizona, and, after
prospecting around for several years,
finally struck a mine that paid him
$1,000 a month 1t was the first time
he ever had anything that looked like
success, but the Scriptures say that
''t0 him that hath shall be given,
and Pat Driscoll has never done a
thing but pile up money ever since
People say he is worth more than 81,
600, OO0 He has an income Of from
SI5. 600 to 500, 900 a month from his
mine. He is one Of the largest stock
holders in the Santa Fe, Prescott and
Phoenix Railroad and one Of the larg-
est property owners in Ash Forks: but
be is a bachelor, lives alone in an I'M
tidy cabin aud does not spend more
than S25 or $50 a month for himself.
He cooks his own meals. never has
hut one suit Of clothes and the highest
form Of luxury he ever indulged in is
a five-cent cigar.
Driscoll has not been east of the
Mississippi River since he came out
into the mining region forty years
ago. He has not crossed the great di-
vide for more than a third Of a cen
tury, but ever since be struck that
pocket he has continually been talking
OF going During the Worlds Fair
he became so much interested that
the betting was about even as to
whether he would go or not. But the
fact is, Driscoll is afraid to face the
world. He would not know how to
act outside Of the mining camps. He
would not know what TO do in a city,
and, while he Is afraid Of nothing dead
OF alive in this desert and in these
mountains, he would be like a fish
ont Of water if you took him into an
other element.
Nobody knows what is going to
become Of Pats money when be
passes in his checks. He has no
relatives that we have ever heard Of. "
said an Ash Forks man the other
day, "and he has never intimated his
intentions
II anyone should give Driscoll a
good square meal Of first-class food
and comfortable bed he would not
enjoy It. He would not know how.
