A UNIFORM OF GREEN.
No Longer Will the Soldiers of the United
States Be Termed "BOys
in Blue"

Washington, July 1.-THE army
uniform board has submitted it's re-
port to the secretary of war. The
board recommends some very radical
and far-reaching changes in the uni
forms of both officers and men of tie
army. No longer can the American
army be termed 1.-The boys in blue"
In the future they must be called
"the men in green for the famous
and characteristic blue field uni
forms, if the recommendations of
the board are adopted, will be done
away with except for occasions of
semi-dress. For a field uniform the
board has designed suit of a khaki
green color-nOt by any means pre-
senting a beautiful appearance, but
considered by army officers as most
serviceable. In the summer and for
hot climates this uniform will be OF
light weight and in the winter and
cold climates of heavy material.

President Schurman says Intellectual
Emancipation VIII Lead to an INDIE
pendent Philippine Republic.

Minneapolis. Mimi, July 11.-At the
session of the National Educational
association Thursday, President
Schurman, of Cornell university,
spoke about Education in the Phil
ippines. He said in part: ''On the side
of intellect and scholarship, the Fill
ipinos may be expected to rival the
Japanese as well as in material civil
ization and the application of the sci
ences to industrial life, wherein Ja-
pan already presents very American
appearance. The modern education
will undoubtedly lead to an intellect
ual emancipation of the Filipinos.
''The kind of people we are, the way
we govern ourselves, the history we
have made, and the political philos-
ophy we have given to the world, all
consecrate us Americans as the adj
vocates and preachers of liberty,
democracy, and national independ-
ence. And I believe that an independ-
ent Philippine republic will be the
final result, as it would be the most
glorious contamination of our great
educational work in the Philippines"

HELD PRISONER FOR DEBT.
Michael O'Ksefe. a Railroad Fireman, Took
Drastic Measures to Secure an Account

Denver, Col, July ia. B. Sulli-
van, an attorney of this city, who had
been held prisoner at the point of
a revolver by Michael O'Keefe, loco
motive fireman, in the latter's room
since 1880 o'clock Friday afternoon,
was released by Sergt. Lee, of the po-
lice force. Lee engaged O'Keefe in
conversation from outside the room
and at an opportune moment Sulh-
van grabbed O'Keefe around the
waist and held him until the officer
came in the room. In the scuff1e
O'Keefe fired his revolver twice with
out effect. O'Keefe claimed that Sui
Ivan was indebted to him in the sum
of $4,000. He invited Sullivan to his
room and held him, threatening to
kill him unless he paid back the
money. Several Intellectual attempts
had been made to rescue Sullivan
during the night. O'Keefe, who is an
old time Union Pacific fireman, is in

WILD OVER KITCHENER.
In London Tens OF thousands Cheered the
Man Who Brought Victory to
British Arma.

London, July 14.-Lord NteFe-
ner arrived at the PaddingaoH rail-
way station Saturday AND was
greeted by cheering crowds The
prince of Wales welcomed E4ord
Kitchenener at Paddington, wlksze an
address was presented to the gen
eral.
Lord Kitchener reached London at
1913 p. M, and his progress Through
the metropolis was one of the mos
memorable of the many remarkable
of the past three years. The small
procession of carriages containing
the general and his staff, in sinF pie,
serviceable veldt dress, lacked pee
tacular features, but evidently the
crowd was there in its tens of thou
sands to see the man of the boar and
not the pageant. From the moment
he set foot in London to the time of
his disappearance beneath the portal
of ST. James palace, Kitchener re-
ceived such an outburst of popular
enthusiasm as quite oversha65Owed
the demonstrations on previous and
similar occasions.

ROOT TURNS IT DOWN.
Secretary of War Says FrIars in the PHIL

BE Agreed Upon.

Washington, July 13.-Mr. Root,
secretary of war, before leaving for
Oyster Bay, sent a cablegram to Gov.
Taft at Rome instructing him to in
form the vatican that the PROPOSE
ton to have the friars gradually
withdrawn from Manila and sup
planted by priests from other coun-
tries could not be accepted by this
government. The cablegram was
practically in form of an ultimatum,
notifying the vatican that the United
States would agree to no PROPOSE
ton which did not provide for the re-
moval from the islands of all the
Spanish clergy, at date to be agreed
upon. Unless this proposition is ac-
cePted it is probable that the ne
gotiations will be broken off.

NO DISCRIMINATION MADE.
Secretary Root Shows There Is No At

Washington. July IL. Secretary
Root has addressed an initial letter
to persons complaining that teachers
in the Philippines have been proselyt-
ing and attempting to convert Cath
olics to the Protestant faith. A dis
patch received from Gov. Wright at
Manila says that the charges made
by the Catholic Times are unbound
ed in every essential particular, and
that it is untrue that nearly all the
American teachers are Protestant
preachers and proselyters. Secretary
Root says: 1T is the purpose of the
Philippine government to maintain
in the archipelago the same kind of
free non-sectarian instruction which
exists in the United States and which
has proved to be for the interest of
religion and all religions. The gov
eminent means, so far as it possibly
can, to give education to the people
of the island and it will do this with
out any discrimination for or against
any church or Sect

HUNDREDS ARE HOMELESS.
In Des MOInss aEany Flood Sufferers Beg
FOR FoOd-EpIdemIcs of Fever
Feared.

Des Moines, Ia, July 12.-Hundreds
Of homeless flood sufferers spent the
night in schooIhouse yards and in
downtown parks without so much as
= blanket to cover them. Some had
to beg for food, although every pos
sible effort is being made to provide
for them. The charitable societies
and city officials are becoming better
organized and it is believed the wants
will be generally met.
Neither the Des Moines nor the
Raccoon rivers have receded percep-
tibly. The net decline since the high
est point was reached yesterday is
but two or three inches and the Des
Moines actually rose ashalf inch dur
ing the night. 1t is. believed the sit
uation in the flooded district can not
be materially relieved for several
days and that when the water finally
reaches its former channel, an cpl
demic of malaria and typhoid will
prevail. An estimate of the damage
at this time is practically impossible.
1t is expected to reach $1,OO0,OOO.

TWO HUNDRED DEAD
Frightful Result of a Mine ExplO-

About 500 Hen Were In the Mine, 400 Es-

Johnstown, Pa, July 11.-Johns-
town has again been visited by an
appalling disaster, only less fright
full than the awful calamity of May
81, 1889, in cost of life. A terrible
explosion took place in the Cambria
Steel company's rolling mill mine I'M
der Westmont hill, early yesterday
afternoon, and how many are dead
it may take several days to fully de-
termine. That it is long and shock
ing list is certain and it may reach
200 or more men.
1t was nearly an hour after the
explosion before any general l5nowl-
edge of what had happened got
abroad. Men who came from the
mines, escaping with their lives, told
the terrible news and soon it spread
like wild fire all over the city. In
scores of homes there was the most
pathetic scenes. Mothers, wives,
daughters, sons and relatives were
frantic with grief and hundreds
rushed to the scene.
At the opening across the river
from the point the Cambria Iron
company police, with several assist
ants, stood guard, permitting no one
to enter the mine from which noxious
gases were coming. 1t was nearly
four o'clock when all hope of send
ing rescue parties from the West
mont opening was abandoned. Two

Richard Bennett and John Mey-
ers-went back two miles to see what
assistance could be rendered, but
the frightful damp drove them back
and they fell PROSTATE when they
finally, after a desperate struggle,
reached the outside.
Mine Foreman Rodgers, his assist
ant, William Blanch, and Fire Bosses
John Whitney, John Retallick and
John Thomas were overcome by the
gases and it is feared they persisted
in an heroic effort to rescue the
miners. A son of Harry Rodgers
then tried to reach his father, but
he was quickly overcome by the dead
