GEN. CHAFFEE REPORTS.
Military Governor of the PhiIippin es
Tells why Guerrilla Warfare
Is Prolonged

Washington, Dec. THE war de-
partment has made public the first
annual report of Maj. Gen. Adna r.
Chaffee, military governor of the
Philippine islands. Gen. Chaffee sums
up the situation in the Philippines
from military point of view by
stating that the provinces of Batan-
gas and Laguna, in Luzon, and the
islands of Samar, Mindoro, Cebu and
Bohol constitute the area now dis
turbed by any embodied force of in
surgents. He says that to the phys
zeal character of the country, to the
nature of the warfare of the rebels,
who are amigo and foe in the self
same hour, to the humanity of the
troops, which is taken advantage of
by the rebels and the inhabitants
who sympathize with them, and to
the fear of assassination on the part
of the friendly disposed if they give
information to the American forces,
is due the prolongation of the guer-
rilia warfare.
He recommends that there be no
further material reduction of troops
before January, 1908. The civil gov
ernments which are being organized
provincial and municipal-Gen.
Chaffee says are both new and I'M
tried, and there is but one certain
and reliable method of ascertaining
the progress of the Filipinos in self
government, namely, observation by
the army

MOTOR NOTES.

Robert Allison, of Port Carbon, Pa,
rs years old, is probably the most en-
thusiastic chauffeur of his age in the
world. Between April 20 and and Oc-
tober 9 he rode 1,17O miles in his ma
chine
Between 700 and 500 automobiles in
Paris are capable of travelling better
than 10 miles an hour, and, according
to the law, are required to placard
their machines with large-fgured
numbers.
The first project Of touring the
world in an automobile has been made.
An English resident of Paris would
make the journey in a gasoline ma
chine of five-horse power. If the
French Autom obile club will furnish
him with the requisite gasoline at the
stations on the route he guarantees
to make the trip within a year.
Automobiles in Gannat, France, have
been restricted to the speed of horse
walk The mayor invites the citizens
to assist him in carrying out the ordi-
nance, even to the extreme measure of
drawing across the streets on the
approach of offending vehicles chains,
ropes or solid wire Auto tourists
would better leave Gannat off their
calling lists.

Washington, Dec. THE senate
committee on foreign relations Fri
day voted to report favorably the
new Hay-Pauncefote treaty providing
for the construction of an isthmian
canal. The full text of the treaty is
as follows:
''The United States of America and his
majesty, Edward VII. of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
and the British dominions beyond the
seas king, and emperor of India, being
DESTROYS to facilitate the construction of
a ship canal to connect the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, by whatever route may be
considered eXpedient, and to that end to re-
move any objections which may arise out
of the convention of the 18th of April 1850,
commonly called the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, to the construction of such canal
under the auspices of the government of
the United States, without impairing the
general principle of naturalization estab-
lished in article 8, of that convention, have
for that purpose appointed as their pleni-
potentiaries:
1.-The president of the United States,
John Hay, secretary of state of the United
States of America; and his majesty Ed
ward VII. of the United Kingdom Of

ambassador extraordinary and plenipoten-
tiary to the United States;
who, having communicated to each
other their full powers which we're found to
be in due and proper form, have agreed
upon the following articles:
ARTICLE ].
The high contracting parties agree that
the present treaty shall supersede the
aforementioned convention of the 10Th of
April, 1850.
ARTICLE II.
ut is agreed that the canal may be con-
structed under the auspices of the gov
eminent of the United States, either direct
ly at its own cost, or by gift or loan of
money to individuals or corporations or
through subscription or purchase of stock
or shares, and that, subject to the provis-
ions of the present treaty the said govern
ment shall have and enjoy all the rights
incident to such construction, well
the exclusive right of providing for the
regulation and management of the canal.
ARTICLE III.
''The United States adopts as the basis
Of the naturalization Of such ship canal,
the following rules, substantially as en-
bodied in the convention of Constantinople,
signed the 18th October, 1885, for the
free navigation of the SueZ canal, that
is to say:
81. The canal shall be free and open to the
vessels of commerce and of war of all
nations observing these rules, on terms of
entire equality so that there shall be no

its citizens or subjects. in respect of the

PHYSICIANS MUCH INTER-
ESTED.

Northport, Mich, Dec. 9.-The med
ical men are just now eagerly dis
cussing a most remarkable cure of
severe case of Kidney Disease in this
county. Mr.. Byron O. Leslie, OF
Northport, has for years been a vic
tim of Kidney arrangements with all
the consequent pain and annoyance.
He was gradually growing worse and
as the disease advanced he became
very respondent, often wondering il
he would have to endure this suffer-
ing all his lifetime.
But at last he found a remedy that
cured him in Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
was much pleased, but did not say
much about it lest the good effect he
experienced would not last. Now,
however, after months of continued
good health he has concluded that he
is permanently cured, and his an
nouncement of this has caused a pro-
found sensation among the physi-
clans and the people who knew of his
apparently hopeless condition.
