The Commission is Debating
a General Plan
TO RULE THE CITIES
And to Change the Spanish
System Of Taxation
The Natives are Participating in the
Debate and Good Will no
Doubt Come of it

Manila. Jan. lS.-The public dis
cussion of the general code of govern
ment for municipalities began today.
Commissioner Dean c. Worcester out
lined the bill and from the general
orders of the military governor eX-
planned the conditions under which
many local governments were oper-
ating. Commissioner Worcester offer
ed two amendments, disqualifying
from voting and holding Office men
who violate their oath of American
allegiance or who remain in armed
opposition after February.
The commissioner elucidated the
taxation features, referring to the
benefits of taxing lands and buildings
as against the present special taxes
on occupations and industries. One
fourth of per cent of the proceeds OF
real estate assessments will be devoted
to public schools. Municipal councils
are authorized to license theaters,
places for selling liquor, public con-
veyances, hotels and cock fighting, or
to prohibit cock fighting, for the first
year, until the tax collections are
available, Half of the internalrevenue
of each municipality will be paid into
the municipal treasures.
Commissioner Worcester did not
enlarge upon the section combining the
exemption of church property to prop
critics used exclusively for religious
charitable or educational purposes
This much discussed feature received
the approval of the administration al
Washington previous to the making
public of the bill.

responsibility in the provincial gov
ernments for the establishment O

A NEW PENSION law
Congressman Calderhead pro-
poses to Provide
IS DOLLARS PER MONTH
For all old Soldiers so At
tlicted as to Require
Require Constant Attendance. Wheth-
er Disability Resulted From
Army Service or not

Washington. Jan. lS.-Congress-
man Caldcrhead, who is member of
the invalid pension committee of the
house has introduced a bill, which is
supplementary TO the pension act of
1890, providing that pension of $3G
a month be given in all instances of
total blindness or OF paralysis or in
any other case which is of such
nature as to require a regular attend
ant, if the applicant has no other
means of support Under the present
law the pension Office cannot grant a
pension above $l2 a month, no matter
what the condition of the applicant.
Therefore, large number of cases
are constantly before congress in the
form of special bills, and congress
has never failed to grant pension of
1876 per month.
The effect of this bill, if it becomes
law, is not only to grant the in
creased pension, but all of the labor
in connection with the collection of
evidence will be transferred to tine
pension office, and congressman will
be relieved of just so much clerical
work. Besides, when an old soldier
is unfortunate enough to lapse into
such condition he will have the sat
isfaction of knowing that provision
| is in the form of law providing for
! his support, and he will not be wor-
ried about the possibilities of fail
ure to get a special act through con-
gress.

MURERERS CONVICTED
The Slayers of Miss BOsschieter Will
go to Jail for Life

New York, Jan. l9-Walter G. Nc
Allister, Andrew j, Campbell and
William Death, three of the four per-
sons indicted for the murder of Jennie
Rosschleter, mill girl of Paterson,
N. j., who was murdered on the night
of October Is last, have been adj
judged guilty of murder in the second
degree. Acc ording to the New Jersey
law the maximum penalty for the pris-
oner is life imprisonment. The jury
took fourteen ballots, and, after sum-
moning Judge Dixon and the prison
'ers, filed into the court room. The
prisoners appeared very nervous.
McAlister seemed more excited than
any of the others. He sat biting his
lips while waiting. Campbell thrust
his hands into histrousers pockets and
clinched his fists in them. Death
looked anXiously about the court room
for moment and then assumed the
same attitude as Campbell,
When the verdict was 'announced the
prisoners evinced neither citation nor
grief.
The verdict gives general satisfac
ton among the business men of the
town of Paterson, N. j, where the muir
der was committed The mill employees
insist it should have been for murder il
the first degree. Kerr will be tried i'm
mediately, after which the convicted
men will be sentenced.

70 HELP OUR FARMERS

Washington. d. c., Jan. l9-An-
other Kansas man has won fame in la
trip around the world, It is Prof.
David G. Fairchild, formerly OF Man
haitian, whose father was president OF
the Agricultural college for nineteen
years.
Prof. Fairchild has forthe past sew
eral years been connected with the
botany division of the department OF
agriculture here. His absence and
Whereabouts has been a secret OF the
government for some time past, and
now he has just returned to Washing
ton and the object of his mission
abroad made public today.
During the summer of 1898 Prof
Fairchild was compelled to give up
his duties in Office temporarily on ac-
count of poor health, so he sought
recreation at the seaside. WhiletherC
he met and formed close acquaint-
ance with Mr. Barbour Lathrop, a
wealthy man of Chicago. The latter
became very much interested in Mr.,
Fairchild's scientific work, and forth
with proposed to the young botantst q
tour of the world in search of rare
seeds and plants. Mr.. Fairchild hao
had some experience in this line o
work abroad for the government, ant
wishing to expand his knowledge il
the work, accepted of the offer mad
him.
AS result of their expedition tn
department of agriculture has now

economic plants and seeds. Thei

tour covered a period of over two
years aud embraced travels which
amounted to explorations. This I'M
dertaking was at the expense of Mr..
Lathrop, and the re -ulting good OF
the trip is given in philanthropic
manner to the farmers of the United
States through the medium of the Sec
ton of seed and plant introduction OF
the department.
Mr.. Lathrop and Prof. Fairchild
started on their exploration from New
York city on December p, 1898. They
visited in the order named the follow
ING countries and sent in from each
living economic plants and seeds for
cultivation by American farmers and
horticulturists: Jamaica, Grenada,
Barbados, Trinidad in the West In
dies. Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador,
Peru. Chile, Argentine, Brazil in
South America: Portugal, Tyrol and
Bohemia in Austro-Hungary; Italy,
Egypt, Amboina, Banda, Lombok,
Ball. Moluccos, Aru and Kel Islands,
Teninber archipelago and New Guinea
in the Dutch East Indies; Hong Kong,
Canton, in South China; the Philip
pine Islands. Bankok, siam, Sweder
and Finland in northern Europe.
Many thousands of dollars have
been spent by Mr.. Lathrop upon this
expedition, and he has put into il
some of the best thought of practi
cal man who is alive to the genera
wants of his countrymen. He entrust
ed the technical part of the work tC
Prof. Fairchild, who was detailed
from the agricultural department
where he had charge of the section o
foreign plants and seeds.
Prof. Fairchild was laid up will
malaria in the Moluccas, and with ty
phoid in Siam and Ceylon, and Mr.
Lathrop had to go twice to Carlsbad
but the expedition has been brough
to a successful conclusion, and tn
farms of this country are the bene
ficiaries.
The trip was primarily planned b,
Mr.. Lathrop to be one of reconnois
sance. The object in the first plac
was to find out what each country OF
fered in inducements for exploration
work, how it should be entered AM
studied, whom of its inhabitants coul
be relied upon as correspondents, an
