A 5O-CENT DOLLAR
Is Recommended for the Philippines
by Vice Governor Wright.

San Francisco, Nov. 12-Vice Governor
Luke E. Wright of the Philippines speak
ing of financial affairs in the Islands, said
in an interview that the money market
is continually fiuctuating.
"A bill to afford the necessary. relief
was presented to congress, but not pass
ed" said he. Il think that for the bene-
fit of commerce the matter should again
be taken up at the next session of con
gress- It has been suggested that Fill
pino dollar of silver should be intro
duced in the islands, This dollar should
be worth actually so cents of our gold
money. I think such coin would rem
edy the present financial situation. Such
a monetary system would be similar to
the one now in use in Ja0an."
1T has been suggested that limited
number of Chinese-say 1Oo.000-be allow
ed to land in the Philippines. Do you
think their presence would relieve the
present labor shortage?" was asked.
81 would not like to see the doors
thrown open to the Chinese" he replied.
"SkiIled labor-yes. if limited would GER
tainly prove beneficial. Some of tho Chi
nese are very clever and they would be
able to teach the Filipinos many of the
Industries"
Governor Wright. accompanied by his
wife. expects to leave for the east Thurs
day night.

SHAKES UP POLICE.
Resignation of Five Captains De-
manded by Mayor johnson.


Cleveland. Nov. 12.-The resignation of
five of the six police captains of Cleve-
land were demanded today. Friends OF
the officers declare that Mayor Johnson
is making scapegoats of the police cap
tains in order to escape the flood of hos
tile criticism of his administration. II
is further declared that more resigna<
tons will be demanded and that Mayor
Johnson will fill all good places with
Democrats before next spring.
The designations were demanded by
Director Dunn at the daily meeting of
the police captains. The director de-
clared that the police force was ineffi-
Gent, and he attributed that to the fact
that the captains had passed beyond the
age at which they could do their duty.
He then called upon Captains E. K.
Hutchinson, M. F. Madigan, Jacob
Lohrer, Edward Bradley and. Michael
English to hand in their designations at
once.
Director Dunn asked the Prescribed
captains for their answers within forty
eight hours, and if it was not forth
coming within that time said he would
prefer charges for neglect of, duty.
In explanation of his action, Director
Dunn said that he had taken the step at
the instance of Mayor Johnson, who in
sisted that no attempt has been made to
enforce the laws, especially complain
ing that the saloons were open on cleo
ton day.
1t is limited that the director will go
through the force and demand the resig
nation of every man who has served
more than twenty-five years. If the
captains fight they will probably try to
son administration to make Cleveland a
wide OPEN town.

NO TRUTH In IT.
Portuguese Minister Denies Report
About Deal for East Africa.

New York, Nov. 12.-With reference to
the report that Germany and Great Brit
ain intend acquiring Portuguese East
Africa. NJ. de Souza Rosa, the Portuguese
minister to France. in an interview said
according to a Herald dispatch from
Paris:
There is not one word of truth in the
report and. believe me, if 1 consent to
make such a categorical declaration it is
not because similar reports with regard
to the Portuguese colonies deserve 4 con-
tIadiction. On the contrary, they refute
themselves. Their very extravaganza is
sufficient proof of their inaccuracy, but
I contradict them emphatically and unre-
servediy solely for the purpose of putting
the public upon their guard. as 1 am
convinced such reports are put into cir
culation for speculative purposes.
Portugal has not the slightest inten-
ton of parting with her colonial posses
sions nor of any portion of them, either
to Britain or any other power.
Furthermore, to prevent any POSSIBLE
ity of error misunderstanding. I may
assure you that the British government
never has made any proposition, directly
or indirectly, concerning Portuguese ter
ritory in Africa"

President Roosevelt Is Making
Fast Mail Time
On His Journey Toward the
Forests of Mississippi.
NO STOPS ARE MADE.
His Destination Is Being Kept
Secret.
Objects to Being Followed by a
Curious Crowd.

Pittsburg Nov. 12.-President Roose-
welt passed through Pittsburg at 1890
this morning en- route to a point in
Mississippi where he has arranged to
spend several days hunting black bear,
IS the guest of President Fish of the
Illinois Central railroad. He is travel
ing on a special train of three cars and
tB accompanied by Secretary Cortelyou
and his physician, DR.. G. A. Lung of
the navy. He will go direct to Memphis,
without stopping, passing through Col
Hmbus and Cincinnati over the Penn
nylvania lines. From Cincinnati to Lou
tsville the train will run over the Louis
willie & Nashville and there it will be
shifted to the track of the Illinois Cen
trail. He will reach Memphis tomorrow
morning where he will be Joined by
President Fish and the journey to Mis-
sissippi will be made over the Yazoo &
Mississippi railroad.
The next destination of the president
has been kept secret. Hunting with a
gallery is not to the taste of a SPORTS
man like President Roosevelt and it was
for that reason that he vetoed the hunt
70 which Governor LOngino invited him.
A camp has already been prepared in
northern Mississippi, a few miles from
the line of the railway, and it is under
stood that one of the best packs of
hounds in the south is waiting t. be
slipped on the trail of old Bruin UPON
the presidents arrival.
Bears are reported to be plentiful and
there are also said to be some oanthers
in the vicinity so that the president is
looking forward to the sport with much
pleasure.
The train will be side tracked at the
nearest point to the camp and remain
there until the presidents return to
Memphis next Wednesday.
The president arose early this morn
ing and was engaged on his correspond
ence almost all morning. During the
short stop here to change engines the
president got out of his car and paced
up and down the platform. A large
crowd had gathered. After greeting
them with pleasant Good morning"
the president stepped off the platform
and took a brisk walk down the tracks.

THE furnishing of a room used by
the head of the household as his
reception room in cases where his
occupation is one that requires profess
sional consultations at home is the
problem solved in the illustration
Although the furnishings in this case
may be beyond the means of the aver
age person of taste. they can be easily
and satisfactorily duplicated at a very
reasonable figure. Instead of the SCROLL
ed ceiling and the deep and ornate
frieze a simple paper and border may
be used.
The mantel of carved wood represent
ed in the picture is more ornamental
than expensive and is of wood suited to
the style of the apartment. The book
cases are all unobtrusive, low ones,
simple in style and quality. The books
filling the shelves are the calf bound
volumes peculiar to the lawyer, the
physician, the architect or the politi-
clan. The chairs are suitable for

Port au Prince, Haiti, Nov. 81
While the situation here is calm, seri-
GUS disturbances were apprehended
yesterday in the chamber, which, at
the request of the president, was sur
rounded by government troops.
On the demand of the provisional

the head of 5000 men for the capital
and arrived last night at st. Marc. He
can reach Port au Prince early next
week. There Is no confirmation here
Of the report that General Nord has
the intention of proclaiming himself
president, but the rumor is much dis
cussed, and the people here are await
ing his arrival with interest In order
to learn his exact Intentions
1t Is impossible to ascertain the real
Intentions of General Nord. At present
he Is marching on Port au Prince with
about 10000 men. He declares that he
is not an aspirant for the presidency of
the republic but that he will insist

that office. The identity of the gener-
ais candidate Is not known
The press of Cape Haitien Is in
favor of General Nord.
