What Governments Consist Of.


These provincial governments con-
sist, he explained, Of governor, Sec
rotary, superintendent, treasurer and
a fiscal or prosecuting attorney. In
all cases where the selection could
be made without arousing Jealousies
natives had been chosen. All these
appointments are temporary and next
month their successors will be elect
ed. When the factions were too
strong Americans were placed at the
head Of each provincial government
In all cases the treasurer and super.
intendent were Americans.
Speaking Of the island of Negros,
he said it was peculiar In it's topog.
raphy and that previous to the com.
ing Of the commission there was difi.
cult in the matter Of government
There were so many officers in the
government that of the 100000 MEX
ican) only about $4,000 was left for
other expenses than the payment OF
salaries. Governor Taft said the
commission had had an interesting
experience in trying to reorganize the
province Of Antique, but that the peo-
pie resisted vigorously. He mention
ed that at San Jose, the capital, they
displayed a model of liberty enlight-
ening the world, which was 20 feet
high and had been dragged seven
miles over very rough road. On
this monument there were statues of
Washington and Mckinley.
Governor Taft said it had been
found impossible to put Filipinos over
the Moros. They are subject to their
datos or chiefs, and refuse to recog-
nize the authority of Filipino There
were, he said, two sultans, one in
Mindanao and the other in the Jolo
group, but the sultans do not always
control their datos.
The Jolo sultan had, he said. re-
fused to recognize SPANS claim 10
any property on the islands. except
the customs houses, and there is con
siderable question as to the owner
ship in many instances. This compli-
cation existed not only between the
sultan anu the United States, but be-
tween the sultan and his subjects.
In reply to Senator Hale, Governor
Taft said that no effort had been
made to extend the civil government
OF the United States to the Moro
princes beyond making few sugges-
lions bearing upon the revenue laws.
Nothing has been done in that d.
rection," he said. Everything IS
going on just as it was and the islands
are under the control of the war de-
partment, so far as the United States
is concerned"
Moros Peaceful, Except Individually.
Asked if the Moros were generally
peaceful, the witness replied that
they were so, except in individual in.
stances.
There is" he said, mo war. nor
even insurrection in the Moro prov-
lnceS, but there are occasional re-
ports of the murder of American sol.
diers." He had no knowledge Of the
reported fights in Mindanao.
Governor Taft referred to the Fed. |
eral party in the islands and said that
he had been given a petition from this
party to be presented to the American
congress, but had not yet decided how
to present it.
lie is to appear again today today. |

Met a Tragic Death Last
Sunday Night
HE HAD JUST CONE
Home from Down Town When
the DeplorabIe Accident
Occurred

Last Sunday night, about ten o'clock,
Mr.. f. s. Rhyme accidentally shot and
killed himself while examining his
pistol in his room. He was alone at
the time, and no one saw just how it
was done, but from all the circum-
stances it would appear that the shoot
ing was accidental, and it is supposed
thatIhis pistol fell from his hands,
and discharged, the ball striking him
in the head and instantly killing him.
Mr.. Rhyme was the assistant post
master here, and gave the office his
prompt and efficient services. He
was a son of Mr.. D. w. Rhyme, was
born and reared in Lexington, and
had a host Of friends here who great
ly deplore his untimely death. He
was big hearted, and true to his
friends. He was about 26 years of |
age. His remains were inferred Mon
day in the Odd Fellows Cemetery, and
were followed to their last resting
place by. "a number of friends and rel
atiyes. To his family, we tender our
sincere sympathy in this graet bereave
ment. Rev. Albert Martin from
Yazoo City oficiated at the grave
and was assisted by DR..
Bowman affiliated at the grave Mr.
Rhyme was member Of the Epicapal
Church.
