LODGES PHILIPPINE BILL.
Providing Temporary Government for Those
Islands. To be Introduced Today.
BY the Associated Press.)

BY the Associated Press)
Washington. Jan. 6.-Senator Lodge,
Chairman of the Committee on Philip
pines tomorrow will introduce a bill for
a temporary government of the Philip
pines The bill will not be made part
Of the Philippine revenue bill which has
passed the House, but will be an indepen-
dent measure.
1t does not attempt to establish new
form of government in the Philippines
but simply begins by confirming the ac-
ton of President Mckinley in creating a
commission and ratifying the acts OF that
commission under the instructions OF the
President dated April Z, 1900. 1t also
gives the President authority while
there is armed resistance in any part
Of the islands to the United States to
regulate and control inter-island COM
merce. Section following the Porto
Rican act gives the government of the
Philippines power to improve the harbors
and other instruments of commerce and
section 5, also following the Porto Rican
act, turns over TO the Government of
the Philippines all lands devoted now to
public use, bridges, highways etc.
Under section the Government of the
and regulations for the disposition of
public lands other than timber and min
eral lands, such regulations to have the
force and effect of law only after they
have been approved by the President and
Congress. Then follows a series of pro-
visions to enable the commission to per-
feet the title of persons now occupying
public lands and to lease and sell lands
to such persons or give them to occu-
pants without compensation. This is to
provide for the small native land-holders
occupying public lands but who have no
titles to protect them in their holdings.
Then comes provisions in regard to
timber lands, not to be sold or leased
by the Commission which have power only
to issue license to cut timber under the
forestry regulations now in force in the
islands The sections as to mineral
lands embody the mineral laws contained
in the report of the commission, and COW
er also coal and saline lands One of
the most important provisions in the bill
is that empowering the Philippine Com
mission to purchase the lands of the re-
ligious orders and dispose of them on
proper terms to the actual occupants.
The succeeding section gives an appeal
from the Supreme Court of the islands
to the Supreme Court of the United
States in certain cases and then come a
series of sections authorizing municipali-
ties and the city of Manila to borrow
money and issue bonds for municipal
improvements. Two sections provide for
the granting of franchises, so that indi-
viduals or corporations can go into the
islands and construct electric and steam
railroads and engage in industries and
manufactures. Provisions for granting
The franchises are based on the corpor-
alton laws Of Massachusetts,. There are
provisions for establishing a coinage sys-
TEN. and the final sections of the bill
make provisions for banking system
and enable national banks of the United
States to be established in the Philip
pines.

A MILLION DOLLAR CONCERN.
Wilmington Company Incorporated to Build
Railroads and Great Many Things

The Carolina Company" of Whining
ton. was granted articles of incorpora-
ton by the Secretary of State yesterday
with an authorized capital stock of one
million dollars, and may begin busl-
ness when $4,000 in stock shall have been
paid in.
The company proposes to contract for
the construction, equipment and mainte-
nance Of buildings, alterations and addi-
tions of property, road beds, bridges,
trestles, tunnels, cuts and fills OF rail-
roads, the beds of canals, shafts and ex-
cayations and other openings in the
earth, TO do general construction bust
ness, to buy and otherwise dispose OF
iron, stone, clay, coal, minerals. metal
and timber.
The incorporators are VIM. E Worth
ninety-six shares, and John S. Arm
strong, Walker Taylor, George r. French
and w. T. Shay, all of Wilmington, one
share each.
The Wilmington Star said Sunday:
The ultimate purposes of the COM
pany are on an extensive scale, but it is
thought that the business first contem-
plated is that Of buying and selling coal
and wood. 1t is also suggested that it
may be in anticipation of the direct
route to the coal fields of Tennessee by
the Seaboard Air Line. A trade paper
published north recently gave notice of
the proposed incorporation of such a
in connection with the Seaboard
rumor, but the incorporators approach
ed upon the subject yesterday would
give no news at all for publication re-
garding the plans of the local organiza
ton.

A Pardon Granted Yesterday.

Governor Aycock yesterday granted a
pardon to Robert Henderson, of Polk
county, who was convicted of carrying a
deadly weapon and sentenced to five
months imprisonment on the county
roads. Henderson had served three
months of his sentence. The judge, after
investigation, decided that the punishment
was excessive and asked the Governor
to pardon him. Henderson and negro
had a fight and both were convicted and
fined fifty dollars or five months on the
reads. The negro paid his fine and Hen
derson went to the roads.

Only Small il Name.

The Richmond Dispatch thus speaks in
terms of praise of Congressman John H.
Small:
1t is said of Congressman Small, OF
North Carolina, who is an old newspaper
man, that he has never forgotten his
newspaper training, and from force OF
habit notes the important happenings of
each days session of the House. He
makes it rule, too, it is said, to an
swer every letter he receives the day he
receives it--a most excellent thing in a
Congressman or any other public person
age. We are not particularly we'll ac-
quainted with Mr.. Small but we know
this, that in spite of his name, there ie
nothing small about him."

H. and B. BEERS MARKET LETTER
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer)
New Orleans, Jan. 6.-Our market OPP
ened points lower in sympathy with
discouraging advicess from Liverpool,
declined additional in the bearsh state
ment and analysis issued by Mr.. Hes
ter today, coupled to the large receipts.
improving slightly on fresh buying,
closing at net loss of 2 points on the
day. Port receipts for the three days
are 81, 900 in excess of last year and
$4,000 over year before last, whereas the
interior towns during the same time
show an increase of IL, 900 over last year.
The feature of the day, however. was
the Texas statement and analysis issued
by Mr.. Hester showing that the amount
brought into sight from Texas up to
January list. was 2,064,0O0 against 2,491-
600 last year, pointing to crop of about
5000 900 for that State. The analysis al
so shows that the Atlantic States have
marketed 800, 600 over last year during
that time and that the Gulf States are
only 1885, 900 in excess. The bureau de-
partment in making their estimate antic
ipated a decreased yield of 226 600 under
last year in the Atlantic States, but as
they have already brought into sight
SOP 900 more it looks as if they have UNI
derestimated these States $4,000 as their
estimate was 100000 for that State. In
the other Gulf States which comprise
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Ten
nessee and Oklahoma, the amount mar
keted to January 1st. is only $4,000 over
last year Every one comedies the yield
in these States will be large and the
bureau estimated them at 3,244,00O
against 2,1s1 900 last year or $4,000 over,
therefore, deductings the excess of 1885,
coo already in, from the aggregate Of
100000 there would still be an increase
Of 30S,OOO to come forward which added
to the $4,000 apparent deficiency in the
Atlantic and 100000 in Texas would make
a total of 1885, 900 over the figures esti-
mated by the bureau. The greatest err
ror in the bureau data seems to be in
the Atlantics. The operators have care
fully considered Mr.. HeSter's analysis.
The probability is they will abandon
their small crop ideas and increased crop
estimates will again become accurate.
With these lights before us we strong
ly advise our friends to realize on their
long cotton.

Duck and Goose Culture.

It requires % days to hatch both
geese and duck eggs. Ducks should
be kept shut up over night in laying
season, as they lay very early in the
morning. Keep them in the pen until
they have deposited their eggs. II per-
mitted to have their liberty they some
times drop their eggs in the grass or
in the water, which then cannot be
found. On the other hand geese will
seek a nesting place in buildings or
around stacks of straw. Inc early
broods of ducklings and goslings
should be Matched under hens. After
they are Matched keep them in a
small yard in which you have placed
a coop for shelter; they do much bet
ter If this is done for about two weeks
than If allowed their liberty. See to 1t
that they have plenty of water while
eating. Feed them often, four or five
time day, when young. Keep young
geese and ducks from pudding or
swimming in cold water. They should
not be allowed on ponds until the
down has changed, and even then 1t is
not necessary they should have a
pond. When Matched feed nothing for
twenty-four hours. Their first food
should consist of bread crumbs soaked
in milk. Hard boiled eggs mixed
with cooked corn meal is excellent for
q few days, after which feed any
thing they will eat. 1t is conceded by
those who have had the experience
that ducks and geese are more easily
raised than any other kind of poultry
and are quite as profitable. 1t is in
deed surprising that so many poultry
raisers are without these profitable
birds as an addition to their business.

Growth and Not Fat Required In
Young Cattle.

1t is proper to observe that young
cattle should be made to grow rather
than to fatten, that the gain in weight
should be of muscle and bone rather
than tallow, If they are to be run on
grass alone the following season, and
unless they are to be pushed for the
market. This point is too often lost
sight of by those who take special
pride in the condition of their stock.
1t is safe to assert, however, that cat
tie may be sent to pasture in the
spring carrying much better flesh from
such feeds as oats, bran. clover or COW
peas in connection with corn, than
can those which have been fed on
timothy, corn fodder, sorghum, millet,
etc., in connection with corn, for the
we'll known reason that the oats.
clover, etc., promote growth rather
than fat and give to the animal suit
able frame upon which to build on
grass. These remarks are not to be
construed as favoring keeping stock
thin or being satisfied with slow gains,
but that the gains ut this stage Of the
animals life be made up as far as pos
sible of muscle and bone instead OF fat
as is too often the case.-Missouri Elk.
