PIRACY OFF CAVITE BAY
Brig Mercia Held Up by Gang Led by
 an Alleged American

Victoria, B. C.--The Steamer Sham nut, from Manila, brought news of piracy on the Philippine coast, the desperadoes being led by an American.
 The brig Marcia bound for Manila, had beaten up the coast, and was be- calmed off Cavite Bay. She had as passengers five Chinese merchants, who were on their way to Manila to purchase goods.
 During the night sloop came along side, and six men climbed over the rail, and immediately overpowered the captain and crew, binding all hands with ropes. One of these men was an American, dressed in the garb of an inspector of constabulary. Two of his followers also wore constabulary uni forms, and carried revolvers as did the American. The remaining three Fili- pinos were armed with bolos. Upon the pirates reaching the deck of the Marcia tie leader claimed he was tie Board of Health Inspector, and in tended to search the vessel for arms and ammunition. Instead of dolng this, after the crew had been overpow. cred, the Chinese were brought for ward, and at the point of drawn re. volvers were made to give over their money, about $l7 ,000.
 The pirates then embarked in their boat again and heading toward Cavite, threatened to kill all hands on the brig if they did not keep quiet. When the vessel arrived at Manila, the cus- oms authorities were informed but no clew was found to the robbers.

SHIPS QUICK VOYAGE
Thousands of Dollars Lost To Owners
 Because of It

Thousands of dollars were lost to the owners of the ship Tillie E. Starbuck, by reason of her unusual speed in making the trip from Honolulu to New York, with cargo of sugar, which she reached New York with. She made the trip around the Horn from Honolulu in 109 days, with 3l66 tons of sugar. Had she taken two days longer the rise in the price of sugar would have given Ter owners, under the sugar contracts, 2,60O more for her cargo. The pur- chase contracts for Hawaiian sugar provides that cargoes shall be paid for at New York at the market price on the day of arrival, and the Starbuck's quick trip got her there just before a rise. The ship Dirigo, with $500 tons, is now IA days out, and if she arrives safely, will have made handsome profit by her poor progress in sailing.

IMPORTANT DECISION
Suicide Does Not Inva1idate Life h.
 SurdTlCe

The United States Supreme Court last Friday affirmed the opinion of the Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of the Knights Templars and Mason s Life Insurance Company vs. Rosa B. Jarman. The case involved the valid ity of the suicide statute of Missouri of 1879, providing that suicide shall not be defense against the payment of life-insurance policy, the policy involved being upan the life of John P. Jarman, husband of Mrs. Jarman, who, while insane, took his life in Grundy county, Mo-, in 1898. The de- cision of the court sustained the law, and held the company liable for the amount of the policy regardless of the fact that the policy contained clause for the invalidation of the policy in case of suicide, whether "voluntary or involuntary, sane or insane"

A formal offer was made to charter or buy the transports and continue them in service, as at present, the private contractors to transport govern ment troops and supplies at cost rates. This proposition was made in order to prevent the removal of the army ship ping headquarters from San Francisco to Seattle, as will be the case in event of the acceptance of the bid of the Boston Steamship Company.
 Secretary Root was favorably inn pressed with the argument put up by the Californians, but expressed doubt as to his authority to sell or charter the ships. He has not come to de- cision as to what to do.

 "President Castro is man ot ab- normal ambition, and relieves that he will some day be the Diaz of Vene- zuela. It is asid to be his ambition to bring about union of the South American republics and to place him self at the head of it. He evidently thinks that the United States will side with him in the present imbroglio, and, if necessary, will support his op- erations against Great Britian and Germany.

PROSPERITY BY IRRIGATION
NATIONAL SYSTEM WILL BENEFIT
 THE WHOLE COUNTRY
It Is Expected that $5OO.OOo,OO0 Will Be Fx- pendended in the Next Twenty Years-Arid
 Region Comprises About I,oOo,ooo Square. Miles

Oscar Bradford of Chicago calls at- tention in the Chronicle of that city to important advantages to accrue to the whole country under the operation of the new national system of irriga- tion, and he does it in convincing manner. It indicates the growth of an intelligent interest in this great government: enterprise among the peo- pie of the east who are not so directly concerned in theswork as the far lwest- ern states and territories. He says in part:
 'People of pessimistic tendencies who see ahead of us another cycle of commercial stagnation fail to note the existence of elements which will have momentous influence upon the mar kets for manufactured commodities, and allude to the early inauguration of work by the government on large scale for the irriga tion of the western mountain valleys.
 'This so-called arid section is about a thousand miles square and without doubt is the richest section in natural resources of any section in the world. It has gold, silver, copper, lead, iron, coal, timber, petroleum and every kind of useful silicate and clay It has superb climate and the. numerous valleys are as fertile as the basin of the Nile. The electric power which can be created by tle falling water of the streams would be ample to turn the wheels of the civilized world. It is penetrated by numerous railroads and has many handsome cities and towns.
 "The funds immediately available for the canals and reserv oirs amount to about $7 1000, 1000 but as the act of congress authorizing the work set apart for this purpose the money received from future sales of public land the supply will be large and continuous. It IS expected that at least $500, ,0O0, 900 will be expended on construction with in the next twenty or thirty years, as each improvement made has a ten dency to increase the value of and make more desirable for new settlers the land in contiguous irrigable basins.
 ''It is obvious that the initial ex- penditure by the government and those which follow as result of it in the construction of railroads, the building of cities and towns, the opening of mines and farms and the many public and corporate enterprises will give em- ployment to vast number of people and their wants will be multitud- nous"
