CONSERVATIVES ARE BARRED
Hereafter None VIII BE Allowed to Enter
at Any of Our Ports.

NEW YORK. June 7.-Immigrants
with tuberculosis Of the lungs hereafter
will be debarred from all ports Of the
United States regardless Of boards Of
special inquiry, which heretofore have
used their discretion In the matter. The
order, issued by Superintendent OF lmmi-
grafton Powderly, is mandatory. The
board Of special inquiry at Ellis island,
after receiving the report on case of
tuberculosis from DIR. G. w. StOner,
chief Of the medical division Of the immi-
grafton service at New York, will mere
ly have to debar the immigrant. The su-
pervising surgeon general Of the Marine
hospital service at Washington has de-
clared that tuberculosis Of the lungs is
now considered a dangerous contagious
disease"
Immigrants with pronounced cases OF
consumption often have been deported.
There are a few instances where child
III Of the disease has been permitted to
land with its parents; hereafter there
will be no more OF these. The rule will
apply also to alien passengers coming
in the first and second cabins. The
steamship agents say their companies will
be affected very little by the new order,
as their ships bring over few unhealthy
immigrants.

PLAN oE GOVERNMENT.
Philippines, Subject to Sec
reiAry OF War.

WASHINGTON, June S.-Thc pro
gram looking to the establishment Of civil
government In the Philippines is being
formulated in the shape Of an order
which is to be promulgated shortly. 1t IL
said that there Is no definite conclusion
as to whether the powers Of the civil al
ministration will be exercised under the
general war powers of the president or
the authority vested in him by the
Spo0ner amendment. That, however, is
considered n matter Of detail.
The main point is that the civil admin.
istration, which will be confined largely
to the municipalities, will be vested in
the head of the Taft commission and
such other officials as may be designated
and that they will exercise their functions
subject to the direct authority Of the sec
retary of war, to whom all reports will be
made.
Civil administration under military su.
pervlsiOn, such MS is contemplated, is said
lot to he anomalous and the civil govern
ment in New Mexico and the Southern
states during the early stages Of the re-
construction period are pointed to as be-
ing substantially analogous to what is
proposed in the Philippines.
When Judge Taft Of the Philippine
commission becomes the head Of the civil
government in the Philippines he will
have the title Of governor. While ii is
expected that he will become governor OF
the Philippines about the LIST Of July
there may he some delay, as the civil
governmental machinery may not be ready
at that date Both Judge Taft and
General Macarthur have Informed the
secretary of war that July was as early
as the proposed civil government could
| be put in operation.

UNLOOKED-FOR TEST.
Yacht Independence Withstands a Severe
Accidental Trial.

BOSTON, June THE Lawson yacht
Independence in her second sail trial yes
terday met with her first accident, not
very serious jamming of the steering
gear. but sufficient to stop the trial af-
ter an hour and a half Of splendid sail
ing, during which she attained a speed,
on a reach Of Il little over three miles, Of
49, nautical miles an hour. The acci-
dent led very unexpectedly to a most
thorough test of the yachts rigging and
her big steel mast, through the sudden
gybing without preventer stays being run
back to take up the strain and the re-
suit showed that it requires a pretty Sc
we're blow TO dismast the Boston yacht.
The big boom, swung by 15-knot
breeze, swept over the stern Of the yacht
at tremendous speed, Captain Half be-
ing unable to prevent it. 1t was so sud-
den that none Of the crew was aft with
the preveuter tackle and the big mast
had to stand the entire weight of the sail
and boom. There was not man on the
boat who did not think the mast would
go, but the big steel spar stood the strain
and now the designer. the skipper and
the crew have the greatest confidence in
1t in consequence of this severe test.
