ANOTHER CIVIL GOVERNMENT.
Province of Batann Organized and
Officers Appointed.

BALANGA, Province of Bataan F. I .
March 2.-Provincial government has been
established in the last province of Brigadier
General Grants district. General Grant
said to-day he could not at present recon-
mend the organization of civil govern
rlents In either Bulucan or Bataan prov
inces. The province of Pampanga, how
ever, as recommended by General MacAr-
thur, he considered ripe for civil rule In
General Grants opinion no civil govern
nent ought to be organized until the in
surgents were either captured or con-
cuered, however peaceful they might ap-
pear. Conditions were developing with
such unexpected rapidity that il was well
o organize civil governments in some prov
lnces as an experiment, and General Grant
believed that some of these would be sue
cessful, especially since, unlike the system
of municipal government, the provincial
system places little real authority or self
government in the people themselves the
actual control remaining with the Ameri-
can Philippine commission

the commission TO appoint an American

A slot machine which the Mills
Brothers patented about year ago
proved an unexpected success. The
machine is one by which if you drop
a penny in the slot lou get handful
of peanuts. When these machines were
placed in saloons it w2s discovered that
tipplers, instead of taking pinch of
cloves, paid penny and ate pennys
worth of peanuts. The device turned
out to have double charm 1t pleased
the drinkers better and not only saved
the saloonlleepers the price Of cloves
but brought them in revenue.
The Mills Brothers, II is stated, put
600 men to work making $4,000 ma
chimes. They found that at the lowest
estimate each machine already in use
disposed Of two pounds of peanuts per
day. on this basis they figured that
the machines in course of construction
would eat up $4,000 pounds a day
The Mills Brothers began buying their
peanuts first at Chicago. then they came
to Norfolk and Petersburg. They be-
lieve that with the an,t unit of nuts they
have bought they have secured enough
to last until the next crop is ripe.

Pekin, April S.-The rumors which have
been current during the past few days of
tthe outbreak of a rebellion headed bv
General Tung Flu Sian (the former COM
mander Of the Northern Army in the
Provinces Of Mongolia and shen 81. have
been absolutely authenticated.
Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching have
received information on the subject which
though indefinite. still proves that the
court is seriously alarmed.
General Tung Flu Sian was, according
to last accounts, about $50 miles from the
court with 11,000 regular troops. all sup
posed to be devoted to himself The court
has about the same number of soldiers at
Sian Flu, but it is probable that the troops
OF Tung Flu Sian are better drilled and
better armed,
1t is believed that the MongoIan rebel
lion, was brought about through agents
of Prince Tuan and General Tung Flu Sian.
Ii Hung Chang thinks there are about
five thousand regular troops in Mongolia.
and inclines to the belief that they have
not joined in the rebellion. He does not
think the court is in any danger and
"A

thousand men, prepared to resist arrest),
and General Tung Flu Sian is to create a
diversion of interest in order to force un-
conditional protection of themselves.
Unofficial Cinnamon of intelligence re-
gard the rising as most unfortunate. at
the present time, to the interests Of
China, and as possibly meaning the use
of foreign troops to protect even the
court itself.
The ministers of the powers do not
think that provided foreign interests do
not suffer, any present interference is
likely. If the dynasty should be over
tthrown, it would, to a certain extent. de-
lay the peace negotiations. but they con-
slider that a regime not bound by tradi-
tions like those of the present court
would probably be much easier to deal
with eventually
Prince Ching, who, as a relative, may be
considered to take the court view OF the
situation, thinks the rebellion is a storm
in tea cup. He says the present court
is loved and esteemed by nine-tenths of
the population of China, and that the
same proportion of able bodied men in
China would rise to protect the existing
dynasty. The Empress Dowager as the
adviser of the Emperor, holds place in
the affections Of the people not dreamt
of, and not understood by foreigners. Her

though he is by no means the figure

THE CORNER IN PEANUTS.
North Carolina and Virginia Varieties as Yet
Unaffected in Price.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Wilmington, N. c., April Sin view of
an Associated Press dispatch sent out
from New York last week to the effect
that corner had been effected in the
peanut market, your correspondent today
called upon a number of the local deal
ers and inquired as to the effect the re-
ported trust would have upon the mar
ket in North Carolina. 1t was ascer-
tained that the dispatch was correct, so
far as regards Spanish nuts, but that it
did not apply to North Carolina and Vir-
ginia varieties, in which there is no rise
in price. Spanish peanuts, however, are
finding sale at so cents per bushel, which
is an advance over quotations a short
time ago, and they are very scarce even
at this figure. The rise in the Spanish
nut is said to be attributable to the fact
that there has been a patent granted re-
Gently upon an automatic device for sell
ing peanuts in bags, and as the Spanish
nuts are in much more uniform size and
more palatable they have been chosen for
use in the machines and hence the recent
large purchases which amount with the
scarcity almost to a corner.
