President Sets at Rest the Talk of
Third Term.

Washington, June 12.-President
McKinley's official announcement
yesterday disposing of the third term
idea suggested by some of his adj
mirers created no great surprise
among his friends who have known
of his deep convictions on the ques-
ton. When Senator Depew's sugges-
ton ten days ago that the president
should be elected for a third term
began to be seriously discussed, ana
when several of the PRESIDENT
friends felt called upon to endorse
the idea, the president decided that
the public mind should be entirely
cleared Of even the suspicion that
he was seeking to break down the
precedents of the past by becoming a
candidate for another term. lie
preached the subject to Secretary
Hay and said that he believed that an
announcement at the very beginning
of the discussion would be wise.
Later he informed the members OF
the cabinet, which had been informs
ally called together, of his decision.
1t met with hearty approval. There
was unanimous concurrence in the
belief that discussion of a third term
for the president, it allowed
to go on, would not only place the
president in a false light before the
country, but would arouse antagon>
ism that would badly embarrass the
administration in the solution of the
great questions before it. The brief
announcement which the president
had prepared was given out by Sec
rotary Cortelyou yesterday. 1t fol
lows:
81 regret that the suggestion Of
a third term has been made. l doubt
whether I am called upon to give it
notice. But there are now questions
of the gravest Importance before the
administration and the country. and
their just consideration should not
be preiudiced in the public mind nv
even the suspicion of the thought
of third term. In view therefore
of the reiteration of the suggestion
of it, [ will say now, once for all, eX-
pressing a long-settled conviction.
that I not only am not and will not
not be a candidate for a third term,
but would not accept nomination
for it if it were tentered to me.

through my second term to the ac-
ceptance of my countrymen, whose
generous confidence SO deeply APP

my duty in the ranks of private citi-
zenship.

HE WOULD TAX THE MINES.
Barbour Thinks They Should Help Pa,
for the War.

London, June 14.-Sir David Bar
bour, whom the chancellor of the
eXchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
sent to South Africa to Investigate
the source of revenue of the Trans
vaal and the Orange River colony
with the view of estimati ting how
much they should contribute to-
wards the cost of the war, reports
in favor of a 10 per cent tax on the
profits of the mines, yielding, on the
basis of the profits of 1898, 100000
pounds sterling yearly.
After paying this Sir David Bar
bour considers the mines will be bet
ter off than before. as they will save
100000 pounds sterling per year on
dynamite, owing to the abolition of
the monopoly in that commodity.
The Orange river colony will be I'M
able for some years to meet the or
binary cost of administration and pay
it's share of the cost of the constab-
ulary. cit cannot, therefore," said
Sir David Barbour, " SO far as can be
foreseen at present, pay anything
toward the cost of the war;
The Transvaal, he thinks can, two
years after the conclusion of peace
begin out of it's ordinary to pay part
Of the cost of the war. He is I'M
able now to estimate how much.
Sir David proposes also to apply
all revenues derived from the sale
of lands or mining rights to the war
liquidation.

Des Noines. June 12.--The first step
in the construction of what will in all
probability be the greatest lntenrpan
electric railway system in the world
was taken yesterday, when 100 teams
began the work of grading the road
bed for the Eldora g. Des Moines line
of the Interurban Railway company.
beginning in the vicinity OF the Fllnt
brick works and working northWard
in the direction of Nevada.
The material for the road is already
on hand, including the ties and rails,
and the company is prepared after
two DAYS start by the graders to be-
gin the work of track laying, SO that
Thursday morning will witness the
click Of the spikers along the route
that is to give seven big industries, all
big freight producing affairs, an out
let to the railroad centering in Des
Moines. and make Nevada and Eldora
and all intermediate points practically
suburbs of Des Moines, bringing an
immense volume of trade to this city,
and at the same time placing the COM
modities of rich fruit and farming
region within hauling distance OF the
Des Moines consumer.
Within a period of few weeks, or
months at most, the track will be LAID
and the line in operation to point
beyond the principal industries up
the river, and it is expected to have
the entire line completed and in OPP
GRAFTON as far as Nevada this sum-
mer and to Eldora by early fall.
Des Moines, June 12.-Judge
Holmes granted an injunction to the
Des Moines Union railway, restrain
ing the Interurban Railway company
from continuing the work of con-
structing it's line to Eldora. This is
the second injunction granted, the
first one restraining the Des Moines
Union from entering the property
it had purchased until the matter
could be adjudicated. 1t appears
that the finding of the sheriff's jury
was made in favor of the lnterurban,
but owing to an error in the papers,
the transaction is declared by the Des
Moines Union people to be illegal.

F1L1pISos AFTER THE PLACES.
Not Many Jobs Left for Americans In the
&fa Islands Civil Service.

Washington, June ia letter re-
.eiyed here from Manila by Chair
man Proctor of the United States civil
service commission indicates that
the civil service examinations which
were conducted recently under the
direction of the local civil service
board appointed by the Taft commits
sion were entirely satisfactory. Mr..
Proctor says the returns to the COM
mission show that many OF the APP
plicants took the examination in
Spanish, indicating that they are
natives. Perhaps third OF them
had seen service in the insurgent
army under Aguinaldo. That fact
was brought out in the answers
which were filed in the question
blanks submitted to each of the APP
plicants in the examination. This
fact in no way will prejudice the APP
plicants, as they were required to
take the oath of allegiance, and per-
haps majority of them already had
compiled with this requisite.
1t hardly is possible that many
of those who take the examina tons
in this country for the service there
will get places. 1t is thought that
only the higher salaried places will
be filled by the applicants from the
United States.
Chairman Proctor also reports that
the class of teachers being hired
for the Philippines service are far
above the average in intelligence and
attainment. In selecting them the
recommendations of the heads of
the different colleges of the United
States were accepted. The govern
ment has been surprised and graft
fed at the high character of those
who are willing to accept service in
the islands.

Woodward, June 13.-Fire broke
out in Craft {. Plumb's dry goods and
grocery store at 3 o'clock a. NJ, de-
stroying about $4,000 worth of prop
erty, most of which was uninsured.
The flames were first discovered in
the rear of the store, but before the
fire department could get to the scene
this building, the finest in the city,
was almost in ruins. The fire swept
west and destroyed more than half
the block. The engine with which the
flames were fought to good advan-
tage when the fire started gave out
and the department was compelled to
fight it with buckets. The following
losses are reported: Craft & Plumb,

Probable Time of Com pletion of Cuban
Independence.
Washington, June 14.-It is expect
ed at the war department that Cuban
independence will be an accomplished
fact by next Christmas. The next
step in order, now that the Platt
amendment is adopted by the con-
stitutional convention, is for that
body to take up and pass the cleo
toral bill, which will provide for the
election of all officers necessary to
set up an independent government
il: Cuba. 1t is said here that such
Il bill is already framed and il ready
for subnissiln to the convention at
any moment. There is good reason
for the belief that Secretary Root
has seen this bill and has approved
of it's provisions if, indeed, he has
not actually had to do with its con-
struction. 1t is thought that the
convention can dispose Of this meas
ure in week or JWo, and that Will
complete the labors IF that body.
A period of ninety days, it IS sail
here, must bea flowed for publica
ton of the electoral act before TIE
necessary elections can be had. 1t
may be necessary, and probably will
be, to maintain some United States
troops III Cuba after the new officials
are inauglrated, and until the Cubans
have had time to set up a Cuban
military force or gendarmerie, but
the length of this stay probably will
depend upon the wishes of the Cub
ans themselves.

utes and ten seconds, while plough
ing through the sea at full speed.
