Anna Edin Taylor went over Niagara
lalls on the Canadian side this afternoon
and survived, feat never before accom-

capped without broken bone. her only
apparent injuries being a scalp wound
one and half inches long, slight con
cusslon OF the brain, some shock to her
nervous system and bruised about the
body- The barrel in which Mrs. Taylor
made the journey ls four and a half
ieet high and about three feet in d.
ameter. A leather harness and cushions
inside protected her body. Air was OBJ
tanned through a rubber tube connect
ing with a small opening near the top OF
the barrel. Mrs. Taylor is a school
teacher, and recently came here from
Bay City, Mich.

LONDON, July 3.-During the debate
to-day in the House of Commons on
the naval estimates, the cabinet minis
ters were heckled on all sides regarding
the condition of the navy. Members as
serted that the British Mediterranean
feet was especially inadequate to meet
the French and Russian squadrons, say
ing that it was undermined and I'M
equipped, especially with modern guns;
that it lacked GOLFERS and that the coal
depots were all exposed to an enemy,s
fire. The members generally predicted
that in case of war the admiralty would
break down as completely as the war
offices did.
N. o. Arnold-Forster secretary to the
admiralty, in replying, referred to the
great demand on the admiralty for SER
vices in South Africa and China, and
promised to strengthen the Mediterran-
can feet when new battleships were
available and to add to the fleet cruis-
ers and torpedo boat d~estroyers.

SELF GOVERNMENT IN THE
PHILIPPINES WILL FAIL
IF THE PLANS MAPPED OUT BY THE
COMMISSION ARE TO BE
ITS BASIS.
CONGRESSMAN HULL'S VIEWS.
SAYS PRovINCIAI. GOVERNMENTS
ARE o HOUSE PLANTs AND
VERY TENDER.

MANILA, July g. Congressman
Hull, of Iowa, who accompanied Cen
eral Chaffee on his southern tour, char
acterizes the newly established provin-
cial governments as LIGHTHOUSE plants,
unable to withstand adversities.' lie
said to the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press that there will be many
difficulties under the dual eiyil-mlll-
tarv government which will be inau-
gurated tomorrow. Mr.. Hull believes
that their natural richness insures the
eventual prosperity of the islands, but
he is convinced that in the new south
ern provinces poverty and other OBJ
stacles will prevent the successful col
lection of land taxes. He believes that
the salaries, excepting those of the
clerks and minor employees, are too
high, from the commissioners W
ward, and that the province & 10
have far larger areas and fewer OH
GERS.
The United States commissioners
agree with this. but have deferred to
the wishes OF the inhabitants.
Mr.. Hull approves Of the provisional
law. but is OF the opinion that the bulk
OF the territory should be under mill
tary government until absolutely paci-
fed and cleared of Ladrones. lie is
convinced the natives in general are
not concerned about the government.
These views are typically those OF
the generality OF army officers. The
American civilians, as a rule, are not
inclined to await a fair trial of the ex-
pertinent of partial self-government
and neither the natives o army OFF,
GERS are in favor Of any removal OF
troops.
General Sumner urges that the ma
tive police OF Tayabas province ought
to be disarmed or controlled by the
military governor. Colonel Gardiner,
the governor of that province, insists
on controlling the police. The pending
bill for the organization OF the entire
insular policy provides for civil con-
troll of the police, and army officers
predict clashes unless the military con-
troll the police in the disturbed locali-
ties.
General Macarthur. who will turn
over the command of the American
forces In the Philippines to General
Chafee tomorrow, has closed up his
affairs here and anticipates an enjoyable
fortnight in Japan on his way home. HE
is elated at the progress made during
the past year in the islands and to-day
mails an optimistic report of the situa-
ton to Washington.

FIRST DECREE VERDICT
IN SIDNEY COLES CASE.
CAUSED GENUINE AS a
MANsLAUGHTER WAS Ex-
COLE ON THE WITNESS STAND.
ADMITTED THE SHOOTING. boT
CLAIMED HE MERELY
TO SCARE BOATS OFFICERS.

Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, July B.
After being out an hour the Jury re-
turned a verdict of murder in the mrs.
degree against Sidney Cole for the Kill
ing of Capt. VIM. T. Terry. Imprison-
ment for life was recommended.
The verdict is a surprise to every
one as no more than a verdict for man
slaughter was expected.
The evidence in the Ease was con-
cluded just before noon, when Cole was
placed on the witness stand in his own
behalf. The arguments were begun al
ter dinner and It was evening before
the case was given to the jury. Cole
testified in a straightforward manner
and did not deny that he shot capt,
Terry. but did deny that he lntehdeu
to or that he attempted to shoot any
one. He said that on the morning OF
the shooting he was asleep In MS room
when his sister came in very nervous
and awakened him. She told MIN the
boat was coming and that she was
afraid it would wash the house away.
He arose, and getting his gun went 10
the porch where he called three times
10 the boats crew to stop the boat. he
said the wheel was turning, showing
that the boat was not drifting, as Cap.
Knox had stated, and several other VII
nesses corroborated his evidence. Cole
said that after he had called for the
boat to stop and it Id not do SO ne
thought to frigiFen the officers and nred
in the direction of the boat, not at any
one. or even the boat, but mixing
he was firing over he BOAT. The state
did not c-ross-examine him.
