NEW PHILIPPINE TARIFF.
Schedule VIII be Sent to Gov. Taft In
Day or Two.

n Day Two.
The officials Of the War Department have
practically completed the preparation of the
new Philippine tariff in accordance with the
recommendation of the Philippine commits
sion as modified by recent developments in
this country. The tariff schedule will be
entirely completed in a day or two and Inn
medlately mailed to Civil Gov. Taft, with
authority to put 1t into immediate opera
ton if it meets with his approval. 1t is.
therefore, probable that the new tariff will
be promulgated in less than six weeks time
The new law is expected to produce reve-
nue. of $15,OOOOOO a year. which Is regarded
as sufficient for the support of the insular
government and also to reduce materially
imports from all countries except the United
States and Spain. Particular attention has
been directed to the protection of Philippine
industries against competition of countries
in the western Pacific and Indian oceans.

ROSEBERY VISITS KING EDWARD.
Audience Attributed to the Trouble i'm
the Liberal Party.

LONDON. July S--Lord Rosebery came
to London today and was received in au-
dience by the king n Marlborough House.
The public announcement of this visit to
his majesty soon after the former pre-
mier's return from the continent, whence
he arrived Saturday, excites much COM
ment. in view of the political situation.
AT the same time well-informed persons
point out that it is extremely unlikely that
the king will in any way attempt to inter-
vene in what. after all, is wholly family
quarrel of the liberal party. Several re-
cent occurrences. however, articles in
weighty reviews. etc. seem to point to an
organized effort to bring Lord Rosebery
back into the political arena.

REFITTING THE WINDOWS.

Making Needed Repairs to the City
Post once Building.
The work Of reconstructing the windows
of the city post office building is now well
under way. and it Is estimated 1t will be
completed at a cost of about $4,000. The
windows have been so loosely built that it
has made the problem Of heating the build
ing In severely cold weather a very diff
cult one. The reconstruction Of the win
dows will, 1t is believed. not only make
the building entirely comfortable during
times of extremely low temperature, but
will result in a large saving in the depart
ment's coal bills

Trial Race of Yachts Much Like That

Columbia Was a Rather Better
Second in the Run.
OF THE RACE

BATEMAN'S POINT. r. l.. July S-The
race today between the Herreshof yachts
Constitution and Columbia and the Crown
inshield yacht Independence was signaled
to be sailed over triangular course. ten
miles to a leg. starting from five miles
east southeast of the lightship. The wind
was then blowing five krots from the south
and increasing in force.
The roll of the ocean. which proved fatal
to the Independence on Saturday. had not
subsidized today. and the water on the reefs
and rocks of Batemans Point was white
with foam. The weather off shore was
comparatively clear. The yachts were slow
in getting ont of the harbor on account of
the light breeze. The Constitution came
out first, with all sails set. in tow of a
small team yacht.
She had her largest club topsail set. and
the big sail was laced at the tack to the top
of the mast. Next came the Independence.
also in tow with large club topSail set and
fitting well. but not laced to the mast, as in
the case of the Constitution. The Columbia,
the last boat out, came down under her own
sail. while right behind her the excur-
SION feet.
