Lack Of Fatigue Uniforms May Pre-
vent If

VCNt IT.
There was a largely-attended drill Of
Company A. of the Blues Battalion. last
evening under command Of Capt. l.. l..
Cheatwood.
Much interest was shown in the pro-
posed trip to Washington, although it is
feared that the battalion Will DC unable
to attend on account of inability to Sc
cure fatigue uniforms in time. If this is
possible the battalion will go to Wash
ington, as the greater majority OF the
reception of the Seventeen Regiment on
the occasion of the centennial celebra ton
insures to this command a good time
should it be possible for it to attend the
Inauguration.
There will be a battalion drill next
Thursday night. This will be the first
drill under Major Daughtrey. At this
time it will be probably definitely settled
whether the battalion will go to Wash
ington A large attendance is, therefore,
redueSted.

port of New York, who has been re-

dent Roosevelt. has made public the

Secretary Gage. This letter was the
immediate cause Of the removal. Wake
man was requested to resign Dee. g.
On Dee. Is he wrote to Secretary Gage
declining to tender his resignation and
giving his reasons for this refusal Mr..
Wakeman sets forth his reasons Ander
seventeen heads. In the first place he
says that his resignation would be an
admission that his "otficial administra-
ton has not in every respect been hon
est and efficient" He points out that in
1899 his continuance In office was rec
commended and that he mad received
the high commentator of the secreta-
ry himself for results accomplished

APPRAISER WAkEMAN OUT.
George w. Whitehead Named by tn.
President.

George w. whitehead Named by the
Presidenf.
, WASHINGTON, Ded 21.-Appraiser
Wakeman of New York has been re-
moved, and G. w. Whitehead has been
appointed to succeed him.
Pending the qualifying of Mr.. White
bead as appraiser the general apprais-
er at Boston, A. W. Brown, will have
temporary supervision of the New
York appraisers office.
This summary action in Mr.. Wake
mans case is the result of Il consulta-
ton between the president and Secre-
tary Gage which took place before the
cabinet meeting. 1t is said that the
president felt that Mr.. Wakeman had
oyerreached himself in his letter de-
cllning to send in his resignation and
by his extreme statements in meas
ure justified some of the charges made
In urging his removal.
When the cabinet adjourned, the
president requested Secretary Gage to
return to the treasury department and
prepare the papers necessary to ac-
conplish the immediate removal Of
Mr. Wakeman and the appointment Of
Mr. George W. Whitehead. The secre-
tary was not tardy in complying with
the suggestion. and in less than half
nn hour Mr.. Wakeman was removed
and his successor named.

THOMAS L. SHEA.

Mr.. Thomas Il. Shea will play on
Thursday at the Opera House his
play, "Dr. JekyIl and Mr.. Hyde"
drama,ization Of Robert Louis
Stevenson thrilling, and highly
interesting move! OF that name.
This play will always have its
interest and fascination, because it
has Tor ils theme, the separation OF
good and evil. in the nature OF a
single man, presents this absorb
ing anamolv. IN wierd dramatic
form. 1t grips the attention, and
stimulates the imagination, just as
,hcghost story does. Other play
ers have given us this strange
phantasy Of Stevenson have striven
to depict 10 DR.. Jekyll. a man OF
great outward grace and sweetness
OF nature, and in Hyde monster
OF ply sical deformity and hideous-
ness, The change from Jekyll 10
Hyde and yica versa, as made by
Mr.. Shea, are little short OF marvel
Gus. Indeed his whole ,nlerpreta.
ticn while shuddery enough, is
based on the idea, that the two
whole souls work in the same
body. w hich only seems to undergo

From what can be learned the four
boilers exploded at one time. reducing

FAREWELL TO TAFT.
First Governor Of Philippines
- Sails From Manila.
WORK OF FEDERAL PARTY PRAISED.
Departing Omcial, Speaking From
kiia Couch, Says He Likes the
FilipinOa and Hopes to
Return In May.

MANILA, Dec. 21.-Over 4 1000 mem
bers of the Federal party called on
Governor Taft yesterday to bid him
farewell and safe return. The gov
ernor, reclining on a lounge. addressed
$50 of the most prominent o his visit
ors, saying he was touched and honor
ed by their presence. The organiza-
ton, he added, had done SO much to-
ward bringing about peace and giving
the country stable party that 1t ar
gued more for the success Of Ameri-
can labors than anything else during
the recent critical times.
The reports circulated in the United
States founded on incidents connected
with the war in Batangas province and
the island Of Samar the governor said.
tend to convey wrong impression OF
the situation, which is really hopeful.
Through Its officers, the constabulary
and provincial governments, besiues
$50 teachers the commission had ex-
cellent means Of acquiring information
in the organized provinces, and 1t con-
slders that there never was a time
when there has been SO much real
ground for hopefulness and encour-
agement in regard to the attitude of
the Filipino people toward the civil
government. The military disaster In
Samar had created an uufounded feel
ing of uneasiness concerning the con-
dition of the people of the rest CT the
archipelago. The war in Batangas
and Samar, kept up by misguided men,
furnished the oIfy obstacle to obtain
ing liberal legislation on the part of
congress.
Continuing, the governor said he
would return here. He liked the Fill
pinos and regretted leaving at this
particular time, but it was IL comfort
to know that the duties of his office
were in the hands of Vice Governor
Wright. an able lawyer, who sympa-
thized deeply with the best hopes of
the people.
In conclusion the governor said lie
expected to be back before May, and
he hoped to have the pleasure of pre-
senting to the president the Federal
party's memorial.
Civil government will be restored in
the island of Cebu Oh Jan. l OF the
coming year.
