NEED GOLDIN MANILA
IMPORTERS DISCONTINUED BY
THE RAISING OF GOVERNMENT
RATE OF EXCHANGE
CHINESE sHREWD IN TRADE
MongoIian Spectators Buy Up Inc
Yellow Metal at Prices Higher
Than Offered by Banks and
Hold Upper Hand.

MANILA, March 10.-The United States
Philippine commission yesterday fixed
the government rate Of exchange for sill
yer, for the second quarter of this year,
at $2.27 Mexican silver for one gold dol
lar. The rate of exchange yesterday at
the banks was 1928 Mexican for 81 gold
but the banks refused to sell gold in
large quantities, not having sufficient
coin to do so. The banks have notified
the quartermasters department that it is
impossible for them to cash quartermas-
ter checks.
The scarcity Of American gold is attrfB-
uted partly to the banks, and largely to
Chinese spectators, who always buy
American gold at a quotation two points
higher than the bank rate. This action
of the commission in making the govern
ment rate higher than the bank rate
of exchange, has created much discomfort
among importers. They are unable to
obtain sufficient gold to pay import du-
ties, and must, consequently, pay these
duties in silver at the government rate
of 1927.
The employees of the civil government
are elated at the new rate of exchange,
as it means a. considerable increase in
their salaries. 1t is the intention of the
commission to endeavor to retain the
gold in the Archipelago. The bankers of
Manila say that the monetary situation
in the Philippines cannot be helped by
governmental action, and that a region
as important commercially as the Philip
pine archipelago must affect the werld' s
markets.

How Friends Fought.

In Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for
April john Ur Lloyd tells the story of a
kentucky village in Civil war time, when
friend fought against friend, and brother
against brother.
I'm these matters of principle, he
says, mot a hand was raised to prevent
a free choice. No feeling Of personal
hatred stood between those who saw
life'S duty differently.
A neighhor to the right of little home
called one evening on his neighbor 70
the left. He kissed the children and
shook hands with the parents.
Il may not see You again; tonight 1 go
to join Morgan he said.
The host went to his little wardrobe,
took therefrom his great coat, thrust a
pistol into the pocket, and threw it over
the arm of his guest. Both We're poor
men, and winter approached; the recip.
lent ATTEMPTED to return it. mo" said
the donor. mo, You take this coat. Your
path is to be one of privation; besides,
won't need it, Tomorrow morning
start North to enlist. My government
has overcoats to spare, and pistols, too:
you who go South may find neither. God
bless you, friend; may We return to meet
again"

STEAMERS IN COLLISION
LEYLAND LINER SINKS THE HOLY
ROOD OFF BRITISH COAST
Entire Crew Saved by Prompt Low
ering CT the Boats, Although
Stricken Vessel Goes
Down Quickly.

LONDON, March 90.-The British
steamer Holyrood, Capt Benton, from
Portland, Me, March Is, for London,
was sunk after colliding March 4 with
the Leyland line steamer Bernard Hall,
Capt. Cassentine, from Liverpool, March
26, for Barbados. Trinidad and Calves
ton, Texas.
The crew Of the Hollywood, numbering
twenty-eight men, boarded the Bernard
Hall, which has arrived at Queenstown
with her bows stove in.
The collision occurred at o'clock in
the evening in a dense fog at a point IT'S
miles west of Fastnet. Both vessels were
going slowly at the time. Capt. Benton
and Capt Cassentine were on the bridges
of their respective steamers and a care
full lookout was being kept. The APP
preaching vessels were not discovered
until it was too late.
The Bernard Hall struck the Holyrood
amidships on the port side and ripped
a great hole in the latter steamer, which
extended into her engine rooms. Boats
were quickly lowered from both yes
sells. The crew Of the Holyrood scram-
bled out of their steamer, which sank
twenty minutes after being struck.
The Holyrood was owned by the Holy
rood Steamship company, Limited, (Rae-
burn & Verel, Glasgow. She was of
LBS tons net register.

some bruises about the head which he
claims are the result of being assaulted.
According to Lindgren's story he went
into the saloon while waiting for friend
and, after talking with the bartender for
a few minutes, walked to the back part
of the saloon. There he noticed two
men who were strangers to him. He
paid no attention to them and suddenly
he was struck in the back of the head
and knocked unconscious. His friends
in the front part of the place rushed to
his assistance, but when they arrived
his vest was torn open and his watch
was gone. The men escaped by the
rear door.
Detective Murnane was detailed on the
case and ascertained that Lindgren is
subject to fits and was taken sick in
the barber shop next to the saloon. After
recovering he went into the saloon and
while there had another attack. In
falling to the floor he received a bruise
on the side of his head. Although he
maintains that his watch was .tolen,
the police are inclined to think there is
some mistake, as Lindgren acknowledged
that he had $40 in his pocket, which was
unmolested.
Lindgren lives at go Lawson street and
was a member of the police force under
the Kiefer administration. The police
think no holdup occurred and that the
watch may possibly have been lost while
Lindgren was in one Of the. spells.

FROM CUBA
w. ID. WASHBURN TALKS ABOUT
CONDITIONS ON THE
ISLAND
TARIFF SHOULD BE REDUCED
He Thinks Stand Taken by Congress
Is Unpopular - Finds Havana
Greatly Improved-streets
Are Clean Now.

Gen. w. D. Washburn returned yester-
Gay after an absence of two weeks in
Cuba and the East, more fully con-
WINGED than ever that a reduction of the
tariff should be made Gen. Washburn
spent q week at Havana and two days
at Washington He visited Cuba ten
years ago, and consequently is in a good
position to judge of the changes wrought
there by the government under Gen.
Wood.
Gen. Washburn is convinced that con
gress has taken a decidedly unpopular
stand in not reducing the tariff with
Cuba, and that President Roosevelt is
more popular than ever in his insistence
that something should be done The
stand of the Minnesota delegation he
finds inexcusable, especially as it is con-
trary to the wishes of their constituents.
In discussing the matter with G l o e
reporter yesterday, Gen. Washburn said:
81 found that conditions in Havana had
been greatly improved since l visited the
city ten years ago. Where it used to
be dirty and filthy it is as clean as any
city in our country, and everything is
orderly and well~directed.
Look for Tariff Reduction.
Cuba had dl ring its years of annexa-
ton become Impoverished. A great
amount of property had been destroyed,
and the planters have become impoverish-
ed. They are looking forward to a great
reduction in the tariff on sugar. All [
met seemed to think that reduction of
from 40 to 80 per cent should be made.
The present crop is largely held in pros
pect of this reduction, and money has
been borrowed on 1t fer which enormous
rates Of interest are being paid, and the
only way to get out of this is by a reduc-
ton of the tariff. They are looking for
ward to action by congress with the
greatest interest 1t is all that is being
talked about, and ir many ways the sit
uation is pathetic.
THE condition of the government has
vastly improved, but from a commercial
standpoint the Cubans are not receiving
any advantages that they did not receive
from Spain. Nothing of Importance has
been done in this direction.
Il feel that there is party in this
country that treats the Cubans in a mar
row and sort-sighted way. The Cubans
have looked forward to great advantages
from the change of government.
- Many business men there are in favor
of ultimate annexation and think better
of this than independence, although they
launch their own government If We treat
them in the liberal way we should they
will feel grateful and be our friends. IL

BLOCK Signals.

The handling Of railroad trains on the
block signal system was first put into use
on the London & Northwestern Railroad
IN England. The device was invented by
Saxby and Farmer in 1856. 1t is a system
under the operation of which the liability
for accident is reduced to an absolute min
fmum. The road is divided into blocks"
the length Of each being about six miles.
At either end of each block is station
ed night and day signal operator. BY
the use Of automatic signals, the mechan-
ism of which is perfect, but one train is
allowed to enter a block at a time.
Thus, every east-boun5 train on the line
is at all times not less than one block"
or six miles ahead of every other east
bound train, and so with every west
bound train. The expense Of equipping a
railroad with the block signal arrange
ment is very heavy, but when once put
in the investment is a splendid one The
Chicago Milwaukee & st. Paul, which en-
joys the distinction of being the only road
between the Twin Cities and Chicago so
equipped, completed the work in 1895 Ghree
years before 1t put on its celebrated
Pioneer Limited trains) since which time
the handling of the immense traffic on
this splendid road has been wonderfully
facilitated.

SHIP RETURNS AFIRE
STEAMER PRETORIA SUFFERS
BLAZE IN HOLD SOON AFTER
1LEAVING NEW YORK
ALL THE PASSENGERS SAVED
Vessel Is TOwed Back to Port After
Flames Have Reen at Work
From 6 in the Morning
to at Night.

NEW YORK, March 30.-The steamer
Pretoria, of the Quebec line, returned 10
this port tonight with fire in her for
ward hold. Her passengers came in a
short time previously on the steamer
Noordland, Of the American line, having
been transferred at sea.
The Pretoria is anchored at Tompkin-
vile and fire boats from the city were
dispatched there as soon as the news Of
the fire was received here at $50 p. m.
The Noordland is anchored at quaran-
tine, and the passengers taken from the
Pretoria will be landed in the morning
after which she will proceed on her Voy-
age to Liverpool.
The Pretoria left this port Saturday af-
ternoon eound for Hamilton, Bermuda,
with Capt. Mckenzie in command. At
midnight smoke was seen coming out of
the forward hold. The fire could not ex-
actly be located. The engines We're stop
ped and Capt. Mckenzie got everything
ready for emergency. The life boats were
put in condition for hasty lowering ard
were stocked with provisions. At this
time the vessel was 100 miles south of
Sandy Hook.
At 6 O'Clock in the morning Sunday
the captain saw that the flames in the
hold were making Roadway against the
streams of water which the crew was
pouring into the compartment This de-
termined him to head his vessel for New
York.
At o'clock the steamer Noordland
came in sight. She was bound from
Philadelphia for Liverpool. The Pre-
toria signalled her and she stood along
side. While the Noordland lay close by
Capt. Mckenzie began a thorough search
of the hold. On the matches being open
ed he found that a shipment of hay in
the front compartment was blazing
fiercely, and the danger was accentuated
as the next compartment was stored
with petroleum.
Capt. Mckenzie then decided to remove
his passengers, who had remained quiet.
Capt. Mckenzie went in his gig to con-
suit Capt. DoXrud, of the NoordIand.
Soon afterward the passengers were
transferred in the life boats and both
vessels came on to New York When
off Tompkinsville an officer was sent
ashore and the fire boats were summon
ed. The passengers of the Pretoria speak
very highly of the treatment accorded
them by the captain and crew of the
Noordland A collection was taken up
among the passengers of the Pretoria for
the officers and men who manned the
life boats.
The Noordland anchored in quarantine
and Capt. Doxrud telephoned to Mr.
Wright, of the American line, who told
the captain to take his vessel to Pier
No. IA of the North river and land his
passengers from the Pretoria.

To RenOvate Rugs.

The rugs that have done service through
the cool floors after the carpets have been
removed, and they should be made fresh
and bright for the purpose. A good beat
ing on a windy day is all that some of
them viii need, while others will be inn
proved by a hard rubbing with a large
cloth wrung out of pearline suds. Those
that are toe badly faded may be renewed
by applying a solution of diamond dye
with small, stiff brush using the same
cOlors that were in the rug before it
faded.
If a rug has broken" across the mid
die or the end border has becoT6 badly
worn, it may be treated as follows: Cut
out the worn portions, and. if the re-.
naming parts are large enough for small
rugs, bind them and color IN diamond
dye, choosing as light a color as will
cover the figures of the rug. After the
rug is dry use a darker color with the
brush to outline a border and fill in the
border with dabs of the brush giving a
notified appearance. A sketchy center
piece may be made in the same way,
being careful not to make the lines of
the design too pronounced. Color the dis
carded portions of the rug half in each
dye, and make a fringe for the ends of
the rugs by travelling out the threads.
