TOO MANY LONG ISLAND FOXES.
Farmers About Eastport Hunting Pig
and Chicken Thieves.

Farmers about Passport, L. l., havo
lately been troubled by the foxes that in
habit the pine woods in that part Of Long
Island. Chickens, and in some instances
small pigs, nave been carried of at night
by the foxes.
One night a farmer sat up to watch for
the marauders. About midnight he heard
a noise back Of the hennery and going
out saw, with the aid Of a lantern, several
foxes lowering about the chicken coop.
They were too quick for him and were
of before he could fire at them.
The next day several young men started
out to kill the foxes or drive them away,
and they have been keeping up the hunt
ever since. They make about 81 on every
fox they catch. or this amount 81 Is the
bounty and the rest is made by selling
the skins and carcasses Of the animals.
Some of the map find that the scheme
combines business and pastime. The farm
ers are rejoicing over the fact that they
are rid of the foxes.

could make no promise oil the subject.
Afterward hat point had been very much
modified. Continuing, he said:
we encouraged the Federal party in
every way possible. They were pressing
on the people the advantages Of associa-
ton with the United States, and they gave

p~ortunity for an organized expression in

Gov. Taft-The condition Of the people
of the Philippine Islands to-day Is such
that the extension Of constitutional rights
now would interfere very much with the
question Of establishing a stable and sue
cessful government. A government ought
under which the Filipinos should gradually
improve their knowledge Of what individual
liberty il and what a constitutional gov
eminent Is; and subsequently the time
will come when the United States and the
Filipino people together can agree on h

shall be a quasi-independent colony. as
Australia and Canada are TO England,
or as a State in the Union, IL a question
so far in the future and so dependent on
the success of the operation Of a stable
government now, that / have not myself
reached any conclusion on the subject.
Mr.. Carmack-You think. then, that it
is an open question whether the Philip
pine Islands should be admitted 10 the
full rights Of American citizenship.
Gov. Taft-That IL a question which i
would not answer two or three generations
before II arises. ] think that the great
evil to-day is the discussion Of something
utterly impossible of settlement to-day.
What the Filipino people need to-day Is a
stable government under American con-
troll. teaching them what individual liberty
Is and training them Up 10 a knowledge
Of self-government, and when they have
that, the question Of the relationship be-
tween them and the United States may he
decided. But the attempt TO decide the
question in advance seems 20 me very
unreasonable.

Congress making a declaration that the
Philippine Islands are an integral part Of

FOR NEW INAUGURATION DAY
Committee Finds Sentiment Generally
Favorable to Last Thursday
in April.

WASHINGTON, April s.-The agitation in
favor of changing the date of Inauguration
Of the president from the month of March
to the latter part OF April received an i'm
petus Monday at the meeting of the national
committee having the matter in hand. The
change had been advocated, owing to the
inclemency OF the weather of early March.
TIL meeting was presided over by Dis
trict Commissioner Henry B. F.. MacFar-
land. Mr.. Mcfarland gave a brief his
torical review of the movement for a
change in the date, emphasizing the una
nimity of sentiment in regard to 1t and its
national character. He declared that the
senate of the United States had passed Mr..
Hoar's resolution providing for the last
Thursday in April as the inaugural. 1t
was agreed that the chairman should ap-
point an executive committee. 1t was re-
solved as the sense of the committee that
the date OF the inauguration day should be
changed from the 4th OF March to the last
Thursday in April, but no particular bill
or resolution should be advocated.
The proposition to fix the 3Oth day OF
April was considered, but received no sup
port, because 1t was felt that 1t was better
to name a day OF the week rather than a
day of the month"; day that would come
always in the middle Of the week, so as to
avoid Sunday. The committee was unani-
mously in favor OF the last Thursday in
April.

amount was to be deducted from the
monthly rental and paid to the tenant on
the lower floor. This month we received a
that our bill for heat was $62, 81 a day,

pay this, as Mr.. Kennard would allow us

house caucus, Monday issued a call for
a conference Of democratic members on the
subject Of Cuban reciprocity at s O'Clock

tion, signed by more than twenty-five mem
bers, requesting the conference.
The move caused some agitation on both
sides OF the chamber. in connection with
the opening Of the debate on the Cuban bill
tomorrow, as It was thought to introduce a
new element Of doubt as to the final vote
on that measure. The movement for a con-
terence was understood to have been init.
ated by those opposed to the bill. with q
view Of concentrating the minority In op.
position. 1t was conceded by the support.
ers Of the Payne bill that a combination
between the minority and the republican.
who oppose reciprocity would make tn
