HULL HINTS AT sINECUREs.
There Are Too Many Officers in the Phil-
ippines, He Says.

g. = lpplneS, ne says.
Manila, July 5.-Congressman Hull
of Iowa, who accompanied General
Chaffee on his southern tour, char
acterizes the nominally established
provincial governments as "hot house
plants, unable to withstand ADVERSE
ties He said to the correspondent
of the Associated Press that there
will be many difficulties under the
dual civil military government, which
was inaugurated yesterday. Mr.. Hull
believes that their natural richness
insures the eventual prosperity OF the
islands; but, he is convinced, from
conversation with the governors and
army officers, that in the new south
ern province poverty and other OBJ
stacles will prevent the successful
collection Of land taxes. He believes
the salaries, excepting those of the
clerks and minor employees, are too
high, from the commissioners down
ward, and that the provinces ought
to have far larger areas and fewer
officers.
The United States commissioners
agree with this, but have deferred to
the wishes of the inha bitants.
Mr.. Hull approves Of the provincial
laws, but is of the opinion that the
bulk of the territory should be un-
der military government until abso-
lutely pacifcd and cleared OF
ladrones. He is convinced the ma
tives in general are not concerned
about the government.

CHINESE TAKE CHARGE.
British and Japanese Troops Evac.
uate Picking Quarters.

London, July 5.-The British and
Japanese sections in Pekin have been
formally transferred to the Chinese,
says Pekin dispatch to news
agency There is delay on the part
Of the Italians, French and Germans
in transferring their sections in the
Tartar city. The Germans have
Chinese city, all of which is now UNI
der the jurisdiction of ten police CEN
tiers. The British, Germans ana
Japanese retain some supervision
over the city and are responsible for
the settlement of quarrels between
foreigners.
A thousand new Japanese troops
have arrived here and nearly four
thousand more are coming to replace
the force in the province of Chilli.
The Japanese, French and German
commanders have consented to Yuan
Shin kai's troops coming within
seven miles of the city. The British
commander has not yet decided
whether to consent or not. The
British, French and japanese say
that they will not evacuate until the
troops of the other powers have.
Arrangements have been made for
the return Of the court.
Orders have been given for the re-
building of two of the large gates of
the city The cost of this work is
estimated at, 100000 taels for each
gate. The merchants in the ruined
portion Of the city are rebuilding,
Showing that they expect the court
to return.
London dispatch from Pekin
says: The French propose to delay
their evacuation of PEG Ting Flu un-
til autumn. They believe that their
presence their is necessity as the
disorders which have been wide
spread are increasing. The society
of allied villagers is replacing the
boxer organization. This society was
ostensibly formed for local protec-
ton, but it is really insurrectionary,
as it resists the collection of the
regular taxes because the villagers
suffered heavily last year and object
to the additional taxes for the ex-
penses of the courts return and in
demnity for the Catholic converts
who greatly outnumber the Pro-
testants. If these troops fail the for
eign troops must interpose. Hence
there is good reason for the French
regime, as the converts are under
their protection. The Germans in
tend to evacuate Pao Ting Flu on
July 5.

BAD FIRE AT DALLAS CENTER.
Entire Row of Fra me Buildings Is De-
stroyed by Fire.

Dallas Center. July 5.-The business
section of Dallas Center lying north
of the main street, was wiped out by
fire last evening. The fire started in
a furniture store, and, owing to the
high wind, spread rapidly. The build
ings were all frame, and burned cas-
lily, making the fire most difficult
one to exulnguish. The fire depart
ment was, of course, inefficient, as
in all small towns, and was able to
do little. The store in which the fire
started was completely destroyed, as
well as nine or ten of those sur
rounding it. The fire was only checked
after all the buildings in the row, ex-
cepting the brick bank building, were
destroyed. This building acted as a
wall to the flames, and prevented the
destruction of the eastern part OF the
town, where two large lumber yards
were located. These yards caught
fire several times from flying sparks
but heroic work Of citizens saved
them The buildings across the street
from the burned row were damaged
by the heat. but otherwise escaped
injury. The loss is estimated at
S25, 900. '.-

president of the Old First Natloh =.
bank, in which is involved the legaH-
ity Of his management of the affalrs
Of that institution before It was
forced to the wall in 1896. Inc re-
organized First National bank is the
plaintiff in the suit.
1t is alleged in the pleadings that
r. j. Stone, as president, director
and official of the bank, diverted, mis-
appropriated and converted to his
own use, funds of the bank amount
ing to more than 100000 This was
done, it is claimed, principally
through three big loans in violation
of the national banking laws, winch
provide that no amount in excess
of one-tenth of the banks capital
shall be loaned to any one person.
1t is claimed that at one time Presl-
dent Stone had loaned to his son, L.
II. Stone, about $4,000; to -. TAI
bott, $4,000, and to the banks cash
Ter, $4,000, while the capital OF the
institution was but 100000. These
loans were largely responsible for
the embarrassment of the bank IN
1896.
M Stone declares that spite work
has prompted the suit. He defeated
the First National bank in an impor-
tant land suit several weeks ago. The
suit will probably stir up host OF
interesting matters i'll connection
with the management OF the bank
just before it closed its doors.

ACCUSES GAGE OF REPRIsALs.
Russia Declares Her Retaliatory Tarih
Action Is Justifiable.

Action Is Justifiable.
st. Petersburg, July 2.-Confrming
statements already telegraphed, the
journal of Commerce and Industry,
representing the Russian ministry of
finance, explains Russia's attitude to-
ward the American duty against Brit
ish paraffine manufactured from Rus
STA naphtha.
The article declares that Secretary
Cages measure was "manifestly de-
signed as reprisal," adding that this
supposition is strengthened by the
fact that article 626 had never pre-
viously been SO construed. 1t asserts
also that Mr.. Gage did not mention
Roumanian naphtha, which is likewise
imported into Great Britain.
The contention, therefore. is that
Russia's answer in raising the duties
on bicycles and resin is justifiable.

ATTACK MEXICAN PRIESTS
Serious Antl-Clerical Demonstra-
tlOns In City of Mexico.

:
City Of Mexico, July 3.-The pub
lie mind is much excited and the
clergy is filled with indignation over
the results Of students anti-cleri-
cal demonstration yesterday. The
students to the number of 800 held
q public meeting at which stirring
speeches were made, denouncing the
recent immoralities Of few priests
who, it is claimed, have been shielded
and not punished. A charge was
made that former Archbishop Labas-
tida was traitor to his country,
while the present Bishop Alarief
showed no disposition to punish rec
reant priests with that measure OF
severity demanded by the nature of
their offenses. The students, ac-
companied by a great number of peo-
pie from the lower classes, marched
up San Francisco street, and on the
way the police arrested three men
for insulting women while going to
mass. BY this time the crowd num-
bered fully 1900 people and made
it's way toward the church of Santo
Domingo, where the Dominican faith
ers officiate. Part of the crowd en-
tered during mass, when the church
was filed with worshippers, mostly
ladies. Shouts were raised of Death
to the priests" down with the cler-
gy," and the priests left the altar
and sought refuge in the sacristy
with many Of the worshippers. Wo-
men cried and shrieked, but the dis
turbance went no further. Another
part of the crowd entered the church
of Santa Carlja, during 1s o'clock
mass. Windows were broken and
images hurled down. The priests
were dispersed and the students
made speeches denouncing the cler-
gy. There were heard shouts for
Father Icaza, who is accused of
many misdeeds. The women pres
ent were terrified and the police
made several arrests, but the prison
ers We're afterward released. Pre-
cautions have been taken to prevent
further trouble, but it is believed
that if several priests who are pub
licly denounced in the press are not
the young men may make
an attempt to invade the temples.
