The Pretty Mill at Buffalo.

The mammoth main building at
the Buffalo mill has been almost fin
ished aud the machinery is being set
up on several floors, great deal of
the shafting is in position nnd the
electric wires are being strung
throughout the building. a labrynth
Of tunnels run apparently in evory
direction under the ground floor of
the great building aud the engine
and boiler room. The thing is simply
bewildering to the uninitiuted, and is
calculated to give him the shivers.
iIe might manage after awhile to
work his way out, should his guide
suddenly disappear, but we would
rather he would stay by us, We
have seen something similar to this
in underground mines, and under
meath the National Capitol at Wash
ipgton, but never before in cotton
mill. The boilers are all in position
and are being encased with brick,
this building is nearing completion
also, and is being built with an eye
to convenience. There is an arrange
clinkers, ETC., and carry them to the
dump on the outside of the mill, and
our informant said the smoke is to
be run back and burned over again.
The engine room is very large one
and will look like handsome sitting
room when finished. One of the
towers has been finished and has the
figures for the clock already in place
in the four circles at the top. The
clock will be placed in this tower.
The tower at the other end is nearing
completion, and the enormous bell is
being placed in position in the same.
An electrical connection will be made
between the clock and the bell tower,
and the bell will strike the time indi-
Gated by the clock in the other tower.
1t seems that expense is not taken
into consideration in the building Of
this mill, but that the idea was to build
q model mill Of the most up-to date
pattern, with every imaginable mod
ern improvement, let the cost be
what it may. 4 water works and
filter plant for the mill and the vii
lage is being erected. The great cleo
trio moters ar1 on the ground and
will soon be installed, electric lights
will be furnished the village nnh
homes, as well as an abundant sop
ply OF water. With nj these con
veniences, can any ono picture ii
more up-to-d factory and factory
village than is growing up at Buffalo?
Many new, comfortable and commo.
dious operatives houses have been
built until the hills surrounding are
litterally lined with buildings. The
change that has been wrought already
among these formerly rugged hills
and unsightly gullies, is something
astonishing, and causes one to won
der If the promoter is in possession
of the wonderful Aladdin Lamp
When the work is finished and tbs
grounds levoled and the beautiful
terraced approach to the mill is COW
cred with green grass and flowers,
and the cute little flower gardens
around the operatives houses are
blooming, the scene will be perfect
vision of loveliness.

The COmmissary Frands
in Manila.

The Investigations which have been
carried on during the past few months in
Manila have unearthed systematic de
fraudng of the Government on the part
of the Commissary Department which
could hardly have been deemed possible.
i lie most gross frands have been perpetra-
ted aud business firms acting as coDtrac
tors and purveyors for the United States
Military GoyorDmenthav been blackmailed
to an extent hardly credible.
The one bright spot in this nefarouS bus
mess is the fact that as soon as the attention
Of the superior authorities in Washington
was cal ed TO the matter, immediate steps
were taken for a thorough and exhaustive
investigation intended to ascertain tie true
facts, no matter who might he involved.
Rank and prestige were ignored, the rule
was ''hew to the lire let the chips fall where
they WILL As a result several cOmmiSSio
ned and nou~commissioned officers have
been tried, convicted and sentenced to vary.
ing terms of imprisonment commensurate
with their guilt.
Statistics show that crime Cannot be
absolutely prevented, but its swift ard sure
punishment Will SO discourage those who
may be tented to commit IL, as 70 reduce
the number of vi0latoTs of the criminal Jaws
to a minimum.

Investigation d Effect Of American
Tariff Abroad.
Congressman Tawney's Plan
May be Adopted by State
Department.

II the Department of State in Washing
ton is willing 10 carry out some sugges-
tious made to it b, Representative Tawney
(Rep Mimi the United States Govern
ment. by the time Congress meets in De-
cember, acill be in possession OF acurate
information on the question raised the Pc
rennial Democratic campaign charge that
the protective tariff enables certain favored
manufacturs to sell their products in Europe
at prices lower than at home. Mr.. Tawney
has asked the Department to send ou cir
cular letter instructing American consular
officers everywhere to report the prices charg-
ed tor certain articles of Amerlcun manu-.
facture in their respective districts. AL
though the Department has not yet prem
ised to do so, it evidently regards the plan
with much favor. Tue information it is pro
posed to collect would certainly aid the In
toljgept discussion of the Babc0k bill. Should
the Department refuse to act, this would
give a presumption of truth to the Demo-
cratic argument, besides rousing among
halting Republicans feeling that the Bah
COX bill may be step in the right dlrec-
ton. and of especial prestut tlmellness.
1t the deBired investigation is made, and
the facts elected show that the Democratic:
logic is not well founded, the Babcok propo
sition will lose standing, of course; but If
the evidence sustains the Democratic po-
sition, several interesting questions Will
come into the foreground, among them this:
Does the selling of American manufac
tured articles abroad for less than Is de.
manded for them at home:
1) Bring a profit to the manufactures,
thereby showinh that the protection OF the
customs tariff is no longer needed Or
On Mean that the American manufac
turer. wishing to furnish employment all
the year around for his men, and thus more
surely proted his invested capital, is dis
posing of ais surplus in foreign markets
at a sacrifice2
Mr.. Babcock inclines to ansteer the hrst
hypothesis in the affirmative In the second
in the negative. But some Of the testimony
may be used against MS position. ln the
Northwest, for example. Mr.. Tawney says
that more than one of the large milling
corporations makes practice OF dlsposing OF
its surplus yearly in Liverpool fer whatever
that market will give, ard that the prices
are liable to fall, not only belOw the prices
charged for the same goods at home, but
below the actual cost of production. This
policy is defended on the ground that 1t
keeps the mills running all through the year,
which is as much in the interest of the en-
ployerS as of the employed. No doubt there
are other cases of similar character.

Preparing Tariff for Philippines
Schedules Framed by Army
Officers.
Expected ito Yield $12,OOO,OOO
Annual Revenue.

Although the Supreme Court has so far
failed to hand down decision in the in
sular tariff cases, and although it is the gen
eral expectation that no opinion IS to pe
rendeted until the reassemblmg of the court
next autumn, the law officers of the govern
ment have not abandoned hope that the
cases aCill be decided before the summer
recess. In anticipation of decision uphol.
ding the principle of the Porto Rlcan tariff
law the administration has been at work Oh
schedule to apply to the Philippine ISL
ands. The tariff had been framed by
board OF army officers who have been en-
ployed in the administration OF the customs
under military control in the Philippines.
They have employed treasury experts to
assist them in The technical work. 1t is oS
timated that a revenue of about Sl2,OOO,
600 will be needed to carry on the CIVIL gov
ernment of the islands, and the tafltf has
been framed primarily with view to rals-
ing that amount.
The greatest possible publicity has been
given to the various schedules. Tue Iaft
Commission has examined them, customs
officials in New York have reviewed them
and business interests likely to be affected
have been invited to offer criticisms and
suggestions, trade and industrial journals
being specially requested to publish the pro-
posed tariff The result has been very
gratifying to the department. officials. AS
a rule the proposed tariff has been com
mended, and the amendemenIs suggested
have been few IN number, amounting al
thOugether to less than 10 per cent
Within two months after the announce
ment of the decision of the Supreme Court
it is believed that the new tariff can 90
into effect. OWL government is to be es.
tablished in the philippines by July l, and
it may be that the new schedules will be
put in operation at that time without
waiting for the Supreme Court.

Political Parties in The Philippines.
Great Hopes Of the Federals
Party Activity, However, Can Only
Affect Municipal Elections.

A despatch from Manila states that now
that the main declared object of the Fede-
ralsts-peace and American sovereignty
has been almost accomplished the party'S
future is discussed Under the coming
government, which is to be composed of
appointive officials, there will be slight use
for party activity outside of the municipal
elections. The leaders hope the party will
be considered as the seme.Offlclal medium
between the government and the masses
They are at present endeavOring to obtain
the release OF prisoners who we're
convicted Of purely political offenses, the
contention being that they should have the
same amnesty as those who were released
wh-n awaiting trial.
The appearances of insular issues will
quickly result in the formation OF projected
opposition parties.
