Senator Frye spent two days in Washington this week and had two conferences with the president. After leaving the white house he said he had the utmost confidence in the stability and good sense of the president. Tn speaking of the coming congress he said he believed it would .'enact a number of urgent and beneficial laws. 7 In regard to the ship subsidy bill he said he believed he would be prepared to introduce the bill, with, possibly, some changes to meet the objection of those who opposed the bill last ses- sion," but that he was unwilling to make any radical changes as such would impair the efficacy of the meas ure. "The former bill was drastic but the evil required drastic remedies. Our merchant marine,' continued the senator, twas never in so bad a con dition as it has been during the past year." In answer to question as to whether any recent developments 1ldo OCCuIICu u uGAOuSJIdl0 IuO ILG- cessfty of the measure he said, Eng land is already alarmed at the progress Germany is making on the sea.

As to home trade, writes Henry Clews in his weekly letter, that is in eminently sound condition. There has been no over expansion of credits or buying in general business, and our merchants certainly have not been swept of their feet in the wave of speculation which surged through Wall street some months ago. This was shown by the steadiness with which the shock from President AIcKinleys S death was received in business circles, where no such defensive arrangements were possible as those carried through by New York bankers. Of course, the latter sustained the merchant; yet it is noticeable that there was little or no curtailment of buying after the sad event. The loss of the corn crop and it's effect upon live stock will of course enforce economy in certain districts, but this drawback is not general, and there are other sections enjoying un- usual prosperity as a result of a good wheat crop and great industrial aceiv- ity. The worst that can be said about general trade is that profits are not so large as in the boom year; still, large and satisfactory fall trade is in sight. and there is little good req son for being over-pessimistic. The iron trade continues to show extraord- mary prosperity, and there are a num- Der of industries that could relinquish

A New York bank messenger, to whom was intrusted thousands of dol lars in securities every day is missing. All that was ill his wallet has been returned except something like $6,000, which is supposed to be negotiable. The police are suspicious of him, but the bank officials say he is absolutely honest, and they fear that violence has been used in making away with him. They say that he is twenty-two years of age, and that his salary was $S week. Evidently they do not put much of a premium on honesty in New York It certainly would seem as if an honest man, trusted as he was would command more than eight dol lars a week Sometimes we think it is such conditions that make thieves New Britain Herald.

Some figures given by Captain George P. Ahern, Ninth infantry, who is at the head of the Philippine bureau of forestry, serve to show the value of these islands as source of timber supply and also the good judgment and economy that has so far been ex- ercised by this government in the ad- ministration of the affairs of the island. The forest land of the Philip pines is now being treated in the same manner as the forest reserves in this country, the timber being cut under government supervision and along sci etnific lines, and sold to private indi- yiduals at sstumpage" prices. The total receipts from the sale of timber for the last fiscal year amounted to $100,000 and the total expenses to $23,- GOO, leaving a net profit of $7o,00o. The last year under Spanish rule, with gross receipts of $75,OO0, the net profit was only 5000. It is estimated that there are about 50,000,000 acres of public forest land in the Philippines. an area equal to the forest reserve in the United States. No estimate can be placed on the eventual income from the sale of timber, but when it is consid- cred that the forest lands of Germany yield an annual income of $1S1 per acre with expenses at about 60 per cent of the gross income, and that un- der American administration expenses can probably be held down to less than 50 per cent. some idea can be formed of the vast source of revenue we have in the timber of these islands alone.

"M'KINlEY ISLANDS,"
Proportion 10 Have Congress Re-
npme the PHILIPPINES.


nome the Philippines.
A suggestion, emanating from a high
source. says the Washington CORE
spondent of the New York Tribune, is
to change the name Of the Philippine
Islands to the Mckinley islands The
object Is. Of course, to perpetuate the
name OF tho rlartyred president and
bis administration 1t Is intended to
bring the proposition before the next
congress-, and it is plt doubted that 1t
will be accepted ElthoW question If
presented In the proper manner.
The proposition, though at present
entirely tentative. contemplates com
plete change Of nomenclature In the
whole archipelago. For example the
entire group Is 10 be named the MO
Kinley islands. and the process OF
Amertcaniza tionli Is to he carried out to
the minutest dstall by giving TO th>
different islands the names Of dstin-
guished Americans Of the past and
present time. This part Of til scheme
embraces the idea Of bestowing upon
the different islands and provinces the
names of the men most prominently
identified with tho acquisition and man
agement OF the islands. For Instance
the members at the American commis-
sion which negotiated the Paris treaty
would thYs Re h9nQrsd a. well as the
names Of Admiral Dewey, Genera
Lavtsn. Governor Taft, General Otis
Secretary Roet and others.
h Is expected that within few days
tho proposition will take sufficiently
definite shape to warrant its ppmoter'
in permitting the use OF their names
in its advocacy
