Substance of Gen. MacArthur's Re
 port Is Encouraging.
Greater Part of the Philippine Arch- iDeIagO He Declares to Re Under Civil Home Rule and Thor
 0ughIy Pncided.

Gen. MacArthur's report on retir- ing from command in the Philippines is a record of advancement all along the line. He found guerrilla warfare still raging in many districts. He leaves only few bands in the hills, the greater part of the archipelago under civil home rule, and at peace, with industry and education advanc- ing rapidly.
 Gen. Macarthur rightly regards Funston's capture of Aguinaldo as the most important event of his ad- ministration. 'The capture" he says, "dispeIsed the growing tendency to idealize Aguinaldo's personality, which millions of natives believed ultimately would insure success for E the rebellion" Aguinaldo at large and rarely visible was demigod to within constant sight and touch, he has shrunk to his normal and com monplace dimensions.
 Gen. MacArthur approves Col. E. H. Crowder's plan for reforming the Philippine currency upon the gold standard. This proposes as the standard of value gold peso of 12.9 grains, just half the value of the American gold dollar, to be coined in convenient multiples, and a subsid- iary coinage of subdivisions of the peso, these coins to be exchangeable for American at two pesos for S1. This is practically the plan success fully followed by Japan in changing from the silver to the gold standard. Whether it would be better than the plan used in reforming the Porto Rican currency need not now be dis cussed.

RUHLIN As A WRESTLER.

Ruhlin will buy Bernstein a new hat as the result of a bet they made re- gently at San Francisco. Ruhlin stipu- lated to throw Bernstein in three min utes. They met yesterday at Bern stein's gymnasium and went at 1T, catch-as-catch--can. Ruhlin weighed PIG, while Bernstein barely pulled down 124. Ruhlin tried everything he knew in the wrestling line, and even worked the scissors hold, but the best he could do was to throw the little fei- low in eight and half minutes. Ruh- lin is the person who recently appeared at Madison Square Garden in s0- called wrestling match with Fitzsim- mons. Bernstein was a professional wrestler before he took to fighting.

 Jack Carkeek.

JACK CdIkeeks
 A match between Harvey Parker of Brockton, Mass, and Jack Carkeek, the American who has been in Eng land for long time. has been arrang ed. Parker recently left this country for London for the purpose of meet ing Carkeek at catch-as-catch-can style. The latter has replied to Parkers chal- lenge, and all that remains to ratify the match is to sign the articles and post forefits.
 Carkeek is keeping up his record in England. He is now meeting all com CTS at the London music halls During the past month Carkeek has been fac ing on an average three men a night and never has failed to throw his oppo- nents.
 Recently Mike Callan, the champion of Lancashier, met Carkeek., The lat ter threw Callan in II minutes. On the following night Carkeek wrestled Tom Cannon the champion of England. Carkeek undertook to throw Cannon in fifteen minutes. He failed, however, bnt he had the better of the bout on points,.

Mrs. Chas. Freitoy, Moosup, Conn, says: T have taken two bot tles of Burdock Blood Bitters and am feeling better than ever did in my life. For many years suffered with severe sick headaches and general debility. Lost all ambition and went about my duties in an aimless manner. Had a tired, worn out feeling all the time, but before had taken half bottle of B. B. B., felt relieved and am now feeling like a new woman.
 Mrs. A. ". Ham, Cambridge, Me, says: II was in poor health for long time. l was unable to be around or attend to my work, was troubled with constipation, neural gia and poor appetite, in fact, every trouble that attends a rundown condition of the system, and have taken two bottles of Burdock Blood Bitters and the Pills. The first dose set the machinery of life to work, and can say never took any medicine that gave such immediate relief and set me gaining, for which I am truly thankful. "

never make steady worker, is not shared by Gen. Macarthur. "The Filipino" he says, will work when properly paid, and the Chinese are not necessary, as has been asserted" He advises "the gradual decrease of the Chinese now in the islands," and evidently favors the application of our exclusion law. Thus the British doctrine that the islands will never amount to anything industriaily un- less the Chinese be allowed to over run them is overthrown by American experience, just as many other Brit ish colonial precedents" are being ovcrthrown. s
 The much-debated 'sfriar question" ," Gen. MacArthur believes, will easily be settled by the straightforward ap- plicatipn of our principle of the ab- solute separation of state and church. Properly speaking and in broad scope,"' he says, "there is no church question:" Common-sense Americans have long held Gen. MacArthur's evil dent view. That is, to give the friars exactly the same protection given fOIActS, anu ACO bhO PSOPAS Ai1S0 SeASAA priests as they wish. Then let con troversies over property be settled by thc courts in the ordinary way.
 ssTo doubt the wisdom of the Unit ed States remaining in the islands" !" says Gen. MacArthur, in conclusion, Sis to doubt the stability of repub- lican institutions, and amounts to a declaration that nation thus gov erned is incapable of successfully re- sisting strains that arise naturally from it's own freedom and productive energy.'' That is why the United States stays in the Philippines and will there remain. Their future will depend chiefly on the fitness of the natives for self-government, and to some extent on the construction of our constitution by the supreme court.

Jimmy Michael Runs Away From
 Major Taylor.

-AANJOA AeiJ AoAs
 Tn record time for an indoor track Jimmy Michael crushed the pace fol lowing aspirations of Major Taylor last night at Madison Square Garden. Michael won the one mile heat in 1:34 2-5 and the two mile heat in 3:10 2-5. The white boy was never at full speed, while Taylor acted like a novice. | he negro said he would give all the money he was making to have Michael on an outdoor track for mile race.
 Michael won the toss. giving him the pole in the first heat of the match race. The distance was mile, flying start. The men got away well together. Michael led by a length at the gun and finished the first lap in about the same position.
 Taylor lost his pace in the second lap and hung away back of the usual pace following position for lap after lap in the most remarkable manner. He ac- tually rode unpaced at 1:34 gait, for the time of the heat was 1.34 2-5-won- derful on so small track. Michael had almost caught Taylor when the uedL AulSu6u. p UT d lOu2 ulSIaDc0 he had held even with Michael although going unpaced.
 Michael again had the pole in the csecond heat of two miles and got away in the lead. Taylor followed closer and held Michael for a time. He then dropped back, but again got up. to the machine. but lost ground gradual ly. The mile was in 1.45, and Taylor was only about fifty yards back.
 Thereafter Michael gained rapidly, and at one miles and a half he gained the lap and went by in the next lap, at once dropping to the pole. Michael won by nearly a lap and a half in 3:10 3-5, a new indoor record.

Trotting King Fails to Lower His Worlds Record at Providence.

Providence, Aug 31.-The trotting king. Cresceus, was beaten in tilt against the scythe boards. His time yesterday was 2:05. While far below expectations it was, all things consid- cred. splendid mile. It is an open question in the minds of many who witnessed the performance. whether he was allowed to do his best. He cef- tainIy looked as we'll as ever, had all of his wonderful speed and seemed to want to run away on the trot, yet with weather, track and all conditions fa- vorable he trotted in 2:05 only. Any number of horsemen expressed the opinion that the horse was actually taken back. After the mile there was a renewal of the talk of the race with the Abbot at Hartford, but no definite information on that point could be se- cured at the track.
 1.-The ec fraetional nctimes ssmade3n lby Cresceuss were, frstS SquafterE ihTn34A4 seconds, second in 30A seconds, third in 32N seconds and last in 3OA sec onds. Half an hour after the exhibi- tion Cresceus received a workout mile in 2:10N, with the last quarter in 30A seconds. It was the general opinion after the performance that Ketcham had no expectation of beating the rec ord and no intention of driving the horse out to that end.
 The unbeaten son of Joe Patchen, 2:01A, added another to his long list of victories in the POS pace Despite al combinations his rare speed carried him through. A first, well earned heat in 2:04A and the race was his. He had the field at his mercy thereafter in slower time. Yesterdays race was Dan Patch's seventh successive win this season.
 The New York Speedway trotter Coxey, owned by Smithers & Shaffar, won the 2:14 class trot after tedious seyen-heat race. Charley Me was the fayorite for this race, but could not land, although he had plenty of as sistance. Spear made several visits to the judges stand.

GUNS FOR CROSBY.

It will be many a day before Cros- by, the Louisville negro, who hugged Cans for twenty rounds, will take an other trip to Mount Sterling, Ky. Ac- cording to Manager Seitz, Crosby never got a cent for boxing Wilson, and had to escape through the back deor to get away from the crowd. He also states that the referee did not know his business and allowed the spectators and Wilson's seconds to re main inside the ropes while the men were boxing, and the last round of the fight lasted over ten minutes. Seitz says that there were so many guns at the ringside he would not go to Mount Sterling to fight again if he was offered a $10,000 purse.

Great Interest Created Over the Match
 Beteween Tenn and Collett.


 There will undoubtedly be a big crowd at the bicycle races to be given by the Warwick Wheel club at the Athletic field on Monday afternoon. The races will start at 2 o'clock, and one of the races alone will be worth going miles to see. Young Tenn of this city has been setting the people wild all over the circuit by his fast riding and he has beaten the best men racing on any track to-day. He and his competitor are rivals for the sprint ing honors and so far has the lead. It was a difficult task to get the two to come together, for both had other of fers in view in which there was big money. Finally the management took them at their own terms, and while the projectors of the race will not re- ceive much remuneration financially for their efforts, they will provide for the lovers of good racing in this city one of the fastest and best match races ever seen in Waterbury. There will be other good races also and the program will be an interesting one from start to- fnish.
