per cent. by cutting fewer boxes, meets
the approval of the Savannah trade.
The experience of the past twelve
months demonstrates thoroughly that
the supply is running ahead of the de-
mand so that the decision to remedy
present unfavorable conditions through
the natural law of supply and demand
is believed to be the right way. 1t is

the hearty cooperation of factors in

HALL GAME IN POLITICS
CANDIDATE FOR SEAT IN THE MANx
PARLIAMENT.
His Self-COnxtructed Platform SnvOrs
strongly Of Socialism and Alarms
His Supporters.

LONDON October 19.--Han Caine has
consented to become a candidate for the
ManX parliament in behalf of the town of
Ramsay. His opponent is a local lawyer.
Mr.. Gaines address has created consterna-
tion even among his own supporters, for
he advocates sweeping changes that might
well be planks in a national platform of
some great reform party. First of all, Mr..
Caine wants to nationalize the steamship
service connecting the Ise of Man with
England, running 1t without profit. Then
he applies himself to the ManX steam and
street railroads and would furnish the
same radical system to them. Land must
be treated in a somewhat similar manner.
the Manx parliament controlling the drain
age, cultivation and tree planting. The
banks, of course, are included in this Ea-
tionalization scheme, by which Mr.. Caine
believed that such financial scandals rs
occurred in the Isle of Man last year would
be avoided.
MIR. Caine justifes these apparently un-
profitable national undertakings by point
ing out that the primary factor in Manx
prosperity is the islands popularity as
holiday resort, and that it must prosper or
decline as it meets the needs of the Wis
itors
With parting reference to the necessity
of reform of the system of representa-
tion and Kidding the legal system of it's
anachronistic superfiuities, the author COM
mits himself and his program into the
hands of the intelligent citizens of Ramsay.

WILL BE GONE OVER A YEAR.
Another Exploring Expedition b,
Messrs. LathrOp and Fafrchild.

A second expedition over wide area of
foreign country, undertaken In the hope of
discovering eXotics capable of profitable
growth in the United States is to be started
from San Francisco about the middle Of No
vember at the expense of Mr.. Barbour Lath-
rop of Chicago. Two persons are to compose
the party-Mr. Lathrop himself and Mr.. D.
G. Fairchild of the Agricultural Depart
ment, who has been detailed to that ser
vice The journey is to take the travellers
through the South Sea islands Of New Zea-
land, Western Australia, the coast of Chi
ma. British India and other districts and
will probably last more than a year. Mr..
Farchild will leave Washington October %
When Mr.. Fairchild and Mr.. Lathrop
went away in 1897 they visited the greater
part of both hemispheres.
These two undertakings are the conception
of Mr.. Lathrop, a capitalist who has trav-
eled widely and who desires to encourage
the Introduction into American soil of the
greatest possible number of agricultural
food products now grown exclusively else
where, but capable of growth either in the
United States or in its insular possessions.
Many sections of the country now compar-
atively unproductive, such as the arid
lands of the west, are susceptible of much
development, it is believed, through the in
PRODUCTION of proper agricultural methods
and materials Many other districts are
now occupied in the cultivation of one
or two staple commodities only while the
soil and climate are thought to favor the
growth Of many other products. When Mr.
Lathrop, though not a botanist or an agri-
culturist, became convinced of this possi-
biiity he entered into conference with the
Agricultural Department and offered to
pay all the expenses of such expeditions
as the two Indicated If the department

II Refnstatements in the Treasury.

The Treasury Department has Just de-
cided two important questions of interest
to persons separated from the classified
service, without delinquency or misconduct
and who apply for reinstatement before the
expiration of the one-year time period un-
der the limitations of the civil service
rule 9.
Applications have been made for REIN
statement just before the year expired for
the purpose OF extending the time period
of eligibility another year. The decision in
such cases is that the department will not
approve such applications as 1t is believed
that such action would be neither in the
interests of the public nor of good admin
istration, and that it is in contravention
OF the civil service rules.
Applications are also made for the REIN
statement of persons separated from the
classihed service (by removal or resigna-
tion), by reason of absence on account Of
annual and sick leave for a period of time
greater than that allowed by law (sixty
days., or by reason Of resignation without
delinquency or misconduct to enter other
employment. The decision in such case ia
that when reinstated to the classified SER
vice it will be only to such grade and class
as in the opinion of the department would
be to the best interests of the public service
irrespective Of the grades and classes held
previously by the applicant.

NO SUBSTANTIAL fDUCTION
NECESSARY MILITARY FORCE IN
THE PHILIPPINES.
Three Extra Army Transports Needed
to Bring Home the Time
Expired Men.

one of the questions that will require the
prompt and serious consideration of Secre-
tary Root on his return to this city next
week will be the military situation in the
Philippines. The recent serious outbreaks
in the Island of Samar have disturbed the
authorities considerably. Il is realized that
they may prove a serious setback to the
plans of the administration for the pacifica-
tion of the Filipinos and of American SOW
ereignty. There is no longer any prospect
of any substantial reduction in the strength
of the Philippine army for some time to
come. In fact. the latest advices from Gen.
Chaffee contain argument against any re-
duction of the army at this time, except as
required by the expiration of enlistments.
AS pointed out by General Corbin in his
annual report, the army will lose nearly
1000 men a month on that account. The
War Department officials are now consider
ing how to meet this prospective deficiency
without impairing the efficiency of the mil
itary establishment in the Philippines.
General Chaffee has said that he will re-
quire three extra transports to assist in
bringing home the short-term men within
the next six or eight months. The quar-
termasters department has selected the
transports Meade, Rosecrans and Egbert
for this special service. The last two
named will leave Washington ports in a
few weeks for Manila. They will take out
civilian employees and supplies The Meade,
which is at San Francisco, is being held in
reserve for the purpose of taking out
troops to replace those to be brought home.
Other vessels which will be utilized in
taking troops to the Philippines are the
Grant at San Francisco and the Crook at
New York. The former, which is expect
~ to leave about the middle of next
month. will carry out an entire regiment
with Its equipment, and the Crook win
take the nucleus of another regiment and
a number of recruits. She will start about
the 1St of December Although not set
tied it is probable that the 2Sth Infantry,
now In the department of the Columbia,
will be ordered to the Philippines the
Grant.
Final action or these matters will be
deferred until after Secretary Root re-
turns to Washington next week. 1t will
be for him to decide whether the army In
the Philippines shall be maintained at its
present strength, and If so how the re-
ductions caused by expired enlstments
shall be made up. 1t is practically settled
that many line officers now engaged on re-
cruitlng service in this country will be
ordered to duty in the Philippines.

the latter organization. The players all de-
MED having signed during the season. but
most Of them received substantial advance
money, and then affixed their signatures to

the Athletics. Delahanty gets the most
money, his figures being $4,000, with 81. 900
advance money. Flick, Cross Wolverton
and Orth get 5000 a piece, and have each
received 5000 advance money. while Town-
send and Duggleby are to get s., 400 each.
This cripples the Philadelphia team. ard
makes it almost impossible for the club to
get together a winning aggregation next
season, Jennings and White being the only
ones who have, up to the present, signed
with the Phillies for 1902.
Monte Cross, In discussing the wholesale
jump, said: IF the Philadelphia club had
offered us as much money as the American
League would not have jumped for we
think stood fair chance of winning the
pennant next season. The players looked at
standpoint, however, and as it meant an
advance of at least 5000 to every man we
felt justified in taking the step. particu-
larly as our money Is guaranteed"
