OUT OF POLITICS.
Philippine Question Is Settled by the
New Government Law.

Washington, July 3.-Chairman Coop
err of the house committee on insular af-
fairs, says steps will be taken at once
to put the Philippines government act
in operation.
""rhe first STEP" said Mr.. Cooper,
will be the complete transfer OF auth
GRITTY from the military to the civil Off
Gals except in the Moro country, where
there is some lingering disorder. The
transfer will be accomplished by proc
lamation from the president which it is
understood will be issued on the Fourth
of July. Beside turning over the auth
GRITTY to the civil officials, the change
will permit a considerable reduction OF
the military force in the islands, al
though orders already given contem-
plate reduction to 1900 men. In 1906
we had 1000 men booked in the Phil
ippineS SO that we soon will have re-
duced the force by $1,000 officers and
men and the transfer of authority and
the act doubtless Will lead to further
reduction before long.
1.-The next step will be to take the CEN
sus as provided by the act.
Governor Taft told me this work
would begin as soon as he reached Ma
Mia His plan is to have the work
done as far as possible by Fflipinos
and the commission will get up their
own census system instead of having 1t
done by the census office at Washing
ton, although they are empowered to
get census experts from here by making
application to the president. The pur-
pose, however. is to make the work
thoroughly a local one, so that it will
serve the Filipinos as an object lesson.
The census will take about a year.
LAS to the general effect of the act
we have just enacted" added Mr.. Coop
er, Il share the view of Governor Taft
that if this bill became law we would
hear no more of the Philippines than we
do of Porto Rico, and that the Philip
pines problem would gradually disap-
pear"
Mr.. Cooper has received the following
telegram from President Schurman of
Cornell, who was head of the first Phil
ippine commission:
Cordial congratulations in your spec
ial ended victory in securing legisla-
tive assembly for the Fflipinos. Our
commission recommend it. Your bill
shows constructive craftsmanship of
the highest order"

THE matter of securing headquarters

a recommendation that they issue a
tribution of so cents. think this prac-
tically insures headquarters in your

Mr.. Hatfield has also been advised by
Samuel D. Hodgdon, delegate from Mis-
souri, to the national council meeting
of the Junior Order of United American
Mechanics at Milwaukee that the coun-
Gil endorsed the Worlds fair and also
the Temple of Fraternity movement and
appointed a committee to raise funds

EUGENE WARES ITALIAN.
Good Story on the New Pension Com
missioner.

The following is from the Yellville,
Arkansas, Republican, of which A. G.
Stacy is the editor:
1t is not generally known that Eu-
gene Ware, the commissioner of pen
sions is an Italian scholar, but he is
He obtained his knowledge of that
language by the Ollendorf method, and
was well up on phrases, sufficiently SO
to carry him through, as he supposed,
when he was making the trip through
Europe in company with his wife. Now
Mrs Ware has some real knowledge OF
Italian, and managed to get along with
the natives in giving her ORDERS even
if somewhat slowly.
One day they went into a restaurant
after a lengthy jaunt, Gene being raw
enously hungry. and he determined to
take matters in his own hand. He di-
rected his wife to remain silent while
he gave the order.
''Nettie, I'll give this order myself.
We have to wait too long when you
talk to the waiter and I'm too hungry
to wait"
In the choicest Ollendorf Gene began
on the phrase learned, only to be met
with a stare on the part of the patient
waiter and a shake of the head. Finally
Genes patience became exhausted and
he exclaimed:
why don't you bring me something
to eat?'
why don't you ask for it," replied
the waiter to the astonished American,
who soon gave his order to the Irish
waiter Ollendorf was discarded and
the Kansan was soon enjoying his
mean.

Gates LOST HIS FIGHT.
Kansas Lightweight Does Plucky
Work in London.

London, July "A large company as
sembled at the National Sporting club
to witness the boxing contests held in
connection with the coronation sporting
tournament, between Harvard and Yale
students and English amateurs. All the
professional fighters who took part in
the contests held last week were pres
ent and in some cases they acted as at
tendants for the American students. All
the anna teur bouts resulted in victories
for the Eng1ishmen but the Americans
gave remarkable displays of gameness
In the lightweight bout Gates Of the
University of Kansas. was fully 20 pounds
lighter than his opponent, A. Warner
of the High Gate Harriers, who is the
amateur lightweight champion, and
much regret was expressed at this diff
ference in weights. In spite Of the dis
proportion, however, Gates put up a
plucky fight. Just before the end of
the opening round the American went
groggy from a succession of heavy
blows blows on the head, and Tommy"
West his second, wanted to give in for
him. Gates, however, insisted upon an
other attempt but with no better re-
suit, and the referee stopped the fight
before the second round was completed.

Good food and the right kind will
carry a man through almost anything
Commenting on the power of Grape
Nuts. an Oakland wife writes of the
experience of her husband:
Two years ago my husband had the
pneumonia which left him in sad
condition, unable to walk for several
months. The doctor said he would have
to be very careful or it would turn into
consumption.
I'VE have large family and he must
work, sick or well. Hearing that Grape
Nuts was the strongest nourishing food
we could find, he began on the food
with one egg, which would be all he
would eat for breakfast.
He left home at 4:30 every morning
seven days in the week. and after two
years continued use of the food he is
a well man. Even the cough has left
him that troubled him SO long after his
sickness.
Our youngest child. boy of four and
half, was a very delicate baby. As
soon as he could eat anything we start
ed him on Grape-Nuts, and he has
grown to be large child, taking a suit
for a boy six years old. He is a very
bright, strong, intelligent boy" Name

KEEP DOWN EXPENSES.
Auditor Coles Request to OF.
ficers Of State Institutions.

State Auditor George z. Cole has adj
dressed a letter to the heads of the var
ious state departments and of the state
institutions in which he requests that
they will make an effort to see that the
expenses of their departments or insti-
tutions shall not exceed the amount
they are entitled to each month. 1t was
formerly the custom to use up an ap-
preparation as fast as it was wanted
regardless of how long it would last,
and after it was gone the department
ran on tick. and asked the legislature
to make good the deficiency Mr.. Cole
has been discouraging this practice as
m UGH as possible and has insisted that
only one-twelfth of each appropriation
be used each month.
The reason for this request from Au-
ditor Cole at this time is that it is the
beginning of the last half of a fiscal
year that the present administration
will be in Office. At the end of the next
six months the present state officers
will turn over their offices to their sue
cessors who shall be elected next fall
If they use more than their pro rata
snare of their appropriations their sue
cessors will find a deficiency staring
them in the face. and that is what Mr..
Cole wishes to avoid.
Mr.. Cole in speaking of this subject
today said:
When the present state administra-
ton took charge Of the various de-
partmentS in 1899 1t was discovered
that the Populists had drawn in six
months, in some instances, nearly the
entire appropriation available for the
fiscal year. ending June 80, 1899.
THE drawing of more than a proper
tionate amount of the appropriation for
six months, caused many of the de-
partments, and a considerable number
of appointees, to transact business and
to fill the positions without sufficient
funds and without full remuneration.
This required by the legislature Of 1899
g. deficiency appropriation of $442, 1872.
1.-THE close of the present fiscal year
in the state departn ents leave the ac-
counts in excellent condition, and many
of the departments are turning back
into the treasury a considerable sum OF
money, which has been saved by pru-
dence and economy in expenditures
| In his letter to the heads of the var
| iouS state departments, Mr.. Cole says:
ut is my earnest wish that the var
fious institutions and state departments
will incur no expenses and contract no
| bills during the six months beginning
| July 1, 1902. for more than a proportion
ate monthly amount of the appropria-
| ton. By doing this. we will retire and
| place our successors upon an equal and
| just footing for the beginning of their
| administration"

ceived from Olympia state that Tracy,
