o'clock by aftraini on the Baltimore and

on the track on the way to this town, and
seeing a train approaching. he stepped to
the other track, and was struck by a train
from Baltimore and killed. His body was
thrown a long distance. in a terribly
manged condition. 1t is thought the first

impossible to hear the one which struck
him.

coroner, but without taking any testimony
it adjourned until tomorrow at 10 O'Clock
am. in order that the crew Of the train
may be summoned as witnesses in the case.

Of the provincial government act" to vari-
GUS provinces throughout the islands. These
acts were passed in April and the early

provinces: Iloilo Antique, Capsiz, Cebu in
Guiding the pueblo of San Nicholas, BohoI,
Occidental Negros," Surigao, Oriental Ne
gros, Leyte. Albay, Ambos. Camarines,

The Philippine com mission in establish
ing these provincial governments explains
that the jurisdiction conferred by the var-
Gus acts upon the provincial officers ap-
pointed shall not extend to the govern
ment of members Of non-Christian tribes
living therein, who shall notwithstanding
these acts be subject to the jurisdiction Of
the departmental government hereafter to
be established. The police power of the
provincial government and of the munich
palities established in the province under
the municipal code to non-Christian
tribes shall be exercised only to prevent or
prosecute breaches Of peace, or crimes by
members of non-Christian tribes against
Filipinos. citizens Of the United States or
foreigners but shall not be exercised to
tween members Of the non-Christian
tribes"

O"ClAl report neCc1VeU FaiS 10
Speak of Any Trouble There.
A report has been received at the Navy
Department from Commander Seaton
Schroeder. the naval governor of Guam,
dated May 8. announcing the appointment
by him as postmaster of the island Of
Atanasio Leitana Perez, who will look
after all the mails of the island and will
make regular trips from Agana, the capi-
tai. to Peti. He Is the first postmaster in
Guam and Is bonded in $4,000 Mexican.
The governor reports that matters are pro-
ceedfng satisfactorily, and he makes no
mention of the recent press report Of trou-
Bile among the marine garrison.
Following out the policy inaugurated by
Commander Schroeder has taken every pre-
caution to prevent liquor from falling into
the hands OF the natives. and the strict
prohibition enforced has necessarily ex-
tended to the American marines sailors
and soldiers on the little island.
The tariff of Guam, which Is said to have
caused the discomfort and to threaten the
welfare Of the island, was prepared by Mr.
Allen, while acting secretary of the navy
and was promulgated February l. 1900 by
President Mckinley. 1t replaced a Span
ish tariff. which. In the opinion Of offi-
names reasonable duties upon the necessa-
ries of life, which might be expected to
make up the bulk of the imports into Guam,
while providing for an extentive free list
Thus the duty on -four is about 30 cents
per barrel, and the duties on provisions
be that the tariff bears upon some articles
of import that are regarded necessary
to the inhabitants of Guam, but that fact
has not yet been made known here.

DETECTIVES MAKE ARREST
YOUNG MAN ATTEMPTS TO SELL VAL
UABLE PROPERTY.
Jewels of Value Found at His Home
Admits He Robbed House at
Manassas, Va.

A young man who gave his name as Ed
win Davidson. and his occupation as
that Of motorman. was arrested today
by Detectives Weldon and Parham, and
held on suspicion. because he was trying
to dispose Of some valuable diamond jew
elry. He was found in a pawnshop, en-
deavoring to sell diamond pin worth
$175. for $40, it Is alleged.
The detectives found on him, it Is said.
at the time Of his arrest. a diamond ring
valued at about $3.50 and a stud worth
about $125. Davidson has recently been
working for awning maker. He gave
his address as 1909 Az street southwest.
He got the tewelry honestly, he declared
to the detectives, the articles having been
given him by his mother.
Davidson was locked up in order that the
officers may make thorough investigation
regarding the ownership of the jewelry.
This afternoon the detectives searched
the prisoners house and found additional
diamonds and other valuable property. A
diamond necklace set with nineteen stones
was found in bureau drawer where they
were locked in small box. This neck
lace, the detectives think. is valued at
about 81 20O. The officers also found a dia-
mond stud. a revolver and number OF
souvenir spoons.
1t Is the opinion of the detectives that
the spoons were probably taken from the
house Of Mrs. Butterworth. several months
ago, when several second-Story robberies
were committed. Mrs. S. s. Butterworth.
the lady who was robbed, lives at 1912 Dist
street.
Three pawn tickets were also found in
the bureau drawer at Davidscn's home.
The prisoners wife told the detectives she
never knew her husband had any jewelry,
and she was perfectly willing for them to
make a thorough search of her house. If
her husband has stolen property in his pos
Sc ssion. his wife said, she will not try to
shield him.
Shortly after Davidson's arrest he be-
came i'll, and it was necessary to give him
medical treatment Upon partially recov-
ering from his Illness Davidson told the de-
tectives that Monday last he robbed the
country home of Mr.. Robert Portner the
brewer, at Manassas. Other disclosures
are expected

Delay.

Delay.
Inc Navy Department has given out the
report of the board which investigated the
delay IN constructing the new stone dry
dock at Boston. The report of the board
SHOWS that the work is practically one
working season behind. In one instance
the delay has been accidental, but in all
others the board states that it is the result
OF faulty construction on the part of the
contractors or Of disregard of the plainly
expressed warning of the agent of the gov
ernment as to the manner in which the
work was being carried on. There Is said
TO be lack Of material on hand. there
being at present but one weeks supply of
cement at the yard, and the board esti-
mates a loss Of 81 per cent In the useful
capacity of the concrete mixture The
board says 1t will be impossible to COM
plete the dock at the time specified In the
contract, December 1 next and states that
there would be unanimous recommenda-
ton for a forfeiture OF the contract IL II
was not for the loss Of time which would
ensue. A given amount Of work Is specI-
fled to be completed this season, otherwise
an Immediate forfeiture to follow. The
board also points out that no start has vet
been made on the engines. pumps, build
ings, etc. 1t says the dock should be ready
for test by July l, 1902

Protest F1leA AGainot Curb Setting
and Cenent Sidewalk.

and Cement Sidewalk.
Capt. H. c. Newcomer, U. s. A. acting
Engtneer Commissioner. represented the
District Commissioners today at a hearing
granted persons who wished to protest
against proposed curb setting and cement
sidewalk laying at various points In the
District The principal protest filed was
against the proposed resetting of the curb
and the laying Of a cement sidewalk on
both sides of 23th street from . to U
streets. in Georgetown. Mr.. Louis Mack
all appeared to protest against the laying
street, while r. w. Mcpherson and Irving
Williamson protested against the new side
walk on the west side. James l.. Norris.
on behalf of the Oak Hill Cemetery Com
pany, objected to the proposed new pave
ment on 29th street, as did also F. w.
Fitzpatrick.
1t was argued by those who appeared
at the hearing that the conditions on the
thoroughfare in question do not demand
a new sidewalk at this time. 1t was de-
clared that the present sidewalk facilities
are ample, comfortable and safe, and
should not be rearranged. 1t was further
asserted by one of the protestants that
the proposed work was suggested by one
man who intended building on the street
and thought the more modern sidewalk
Capt. Newcomer stated that the protests
would be given due consideration by the
Commissioners in deciding upon whether
or not the work should be done.
William Crews filed written protest
with the Commissioners against the pro-
posed new curb and cement sidewalk on
the east side of Sth street northwest be-
tween P and Q streets. Several other pro-
tests against various pieces of proposed
work were also received
