THE PHILIPPINE BILL
WILL CAUSE A HIGH OLD TIME IN
SENATE.
DEMOCRATS TO FIGHT HARD.
SENATOR'S ARE LOADING UP FOR
DEBATE.

Democrats DO Not Expect to Defeat
Bill, but Hope TO Secure Material
Amendme nts-rhey WaRt to see
Some Provision Made Looking to
Seif-Government for Filipinos aud
Charge That the Prime object OF
Present Measure Is to Permit
Granting of Franchises.
Washington. April 6.-The expecta-
ton of the friends of the Chinese ex-
clusion bill is that it's consideration by
the Senate will be concluded by the
middle of the present week. if not be-
fore. The Philippine government bill
will be taken up Immediately after
wards. This probably Mil occupy at
tcntion for considerably longer time
than has any measure since the Philip
pine tariff bill was passed and the
Democratic members of the Commit
tee on the Philippines are now very in
dustriously engaged-' IN preparing for
the debate. They do not profess to be
able to defeat the measure, but say
they will make strenuous effort to Sc
cure material amendments. They OBJ
ject to various features of the bill and
will charge that its primary purpose is
to permit the granting of franchises.
They also take exception to the un-
qualified continuance of the admins
tration of the affairs of the archipelago
without any provision looking to any
form of self-government for the Philip
pine people.
The other points of controversy will
be the disposition of the friars' lands
and of the public lands.
Strangely enough in view of recent
controversies, the currency provision,
for the present at least, seems to be
the one feature on which there is har-
mony among all factions.
Lodge VIII Not Explain.
Philippine Committee, will have charge
of the bill, but win make no prelimi-
nary explanation of its provisions. He
will seek to have the Senate proceed
Immediately to the consideration of the
details of the measure. At least all of
the early speeches on the bill will be
made BIZ members of the minority of
the committee, but which of them will
lead off has not yet been decided. All
of them are preparing set speeches and
expect the assistance of other Demo-
cratic senators in the general debate.
They count upon devoting two or three
weeks to the bill.
There is general preparation about
the Senate for the Cuban reciprocity
bill as it is already apparent that when
it comes up for consideration in the
Senate it's passage will be stubbornly
resisted.
The conference on the oleomargarine
bill will probably take place during
the week, and as the Senate made a
vast number of amendments to the bill
the conference may be somewhat pro-
longed. II &

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Charles H. Gibbes

Mrs. Charles III. Gibbes.
Mrs Charles H. Gibbes died at the
Savannah Hospital at GAS O'Clock yes
terday morning. Her death followed a
long illness. which for a week or more
had been critical. Though for brief
space. a few days ago. she rallied, the
improvement was but a passing one
and since then she had been sinking,
steadily and peacefully. to the end,
For two months Mrs. Gibbes had not
been in good health. Two weeks ago
occurred the unhappy accident that for
a time threatened the life of her son
and only child; most naturally it threw
her into what was almost a paroxysm
of grief and she insisted upon going
from her residence in The Meadows
to the hospital where the boy was ly-
ing.
The gradual improvement in his con-
dition was attended by a correspond
ing decline in her health. Almost it
seemed that her prayers were being
answered and that she was laying
down her life that he might live. Since
Thursday her life has hung by a
thread and in the glowing beauty of
yesterdays Sabbath morn the thread
was broken and she passed away
She was conscious almost until the
last and until the last the sweet spirit
of unselfish thought for the comfort OF
others, that through all her life had
made her beloved by those with whom
she came In contact, was in constant
evidence in the chamber of death. She
was solicisous that her dear ones
should not grieve. But brief space
before the end she lapsed into uncon-
seriousness and then, quite calmly and
peacefully, passed from earth.
Mrs Gibbes was Miss Julia Thomas,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
j. Thomas. She was married to Mr..
Gibbes thirteen years ago, and besides
her husband one child survives her
Her death will be loss to Savannah
society, in which her many graces of
character and manner had won her a
place that was all her own.

BAD OUTLOOK FOR AUGUSTA,
OPERATIVES DECLINE TO BE
BLUFFED BY MILL MEN.

Employees of King Mill Will Go Out
at 6,45 n. m. il Increase Is Not
|Granted-MiII Presidents Can Then
Enforce Their Threat of Closing
All the MiIIs--This Would Make
About 6.00O Operatives Idle, Az
fecting a Population of 2o,03O.
Augusta. April 6.-There is every rea-
son now to believe that at 6:45 O'Clock
tomorrow morning, the operatives in
the King mill will march out on a
strike, in obedience to the order from
the Textile Union. and that thirty-six
hours later every mill in this district
will shut down.
The Chamber Of Commerce appointed
a committee and asked the Textile
Union leaders to postpone the strike
for a week, while this committee of
ten representative and unbiased citi-
zens investigated fully into the condi-
tions and ascertained the true situa-
ton. This was refused.
The operatives claim that the mills
are making money. and that they ought
to pay higher wages. They demand an
increase of 10 per cent. They did not
make demand on all the mills, how
ever. but simply on the King mill.
1t is supposed their idea was to take
the mills one at a time, and as soon as
they forced an increase in one, to strike
in another, and so on.
But the mill presidents would not
fight that way. They posted a notice
in every mill that If the King mill OPP
| eratiVes strike on Monday every other
mill will be closed down Tuesday ev-
ening.
The operatives declare this a bluff.
They insist the mills are making money
and have no idea of shutting down.
Commerce is in collision with Them
| and that the effort to get
the strike postponed was to
give the mills time to fill certain or
ders. They insist that by striking now
they will embarrass the mills and
| force them to terms. They will go to
work at 6;15 tomorrow, as usual, but
if they do not receive notice in thirty
| minutes that the 10 per cent increase
has been granted, will order the strike
at 6:45 a. m. The mill owners say they
cannot make money at the present
| prices of cotton and of cotton goods
and will close down and fight 1t out.
They say there is no justitications
for the strike; that the King mill is
paving the same as other mills, and
| that the Augusta schedule is from 10
to 20 per cent. higher than is paid in
competing mills outside of Augusta
district. Public sentiment does not en-
| dorse the strike.
1t is rumored that the mill men
will make it fight to finish and will
refuse to take back any member of n
union, and may also make a cut in
wages and take strikers back only on
a lower schedule. The strike will cut
off a payroll of $4,000 a week, throw
out about 5000 operatives. and, includ-
ing these. affects 10000 old men, wo-
| men and children.

None of the three candidates for Gov

cept in few of the counties. In
Brunswick and Glynn county but little
interest has been manifested in the
race. However, the race is between
Col. Estill and Mr.. Terrell. Both of
these candidates have many friends In
and around Brunswick. and it is diff
cult to predict in which column Glynn
will be found. In Mcintosh, Camden
and the other nearby counties Estill is
leading, and nearly all of them will be
found In the Savannah candidates col

Guerry is not known at all in this
neck of the woods, and his votes will be
few and far between. The other state
contests are attracting little or no at
tention, but it is safe to say that the
county will go for Stevens for COM

The most interesting contest, locally
is for the state Senate. 1t is Glynn's
time to name the senator, and two of
our most prominent citizens have an

Cecil Rhodes Plans for Sending
Them Americans Meet with FnVor

Cecil Rhodes Plans for Sending
Them Americans Meet with Favor.
London. April THE Daily Mail
this morning gives the opinions of
some distinguished Oxford dons con-
corning the Rhodes scholarships.
/. DR.. Moberly, canon of Christ Church
College, spoke in eloquent praise of
the plan, especially because it would,
he said, bring picked men of the best
type of Americans, rather than the
wealthy American who had hitherto
come to Oxford mainly for social ad-
vantages.
Mr.. Skene, bursar of Christ Church
College, said If the yearly allowance
or $500 was merely for the university
semestre, it would suffice to enable
the scholar to live comfortably, but if
1t was intended to include also vaca-
ton expenses, the balance left for the
university would render 1t inadvisabIe
that the beneficiary of the scholarship
come to Christ Church College.
Mr.. Magrath, the popular provost of
Queens College, was emphatic In his
predictions of future good arising for
Oxford from the Rhodes scholarships.
He said he was particularly struck
with the wisdom of Mr.. Rhodes in ar
ranging that the gradual operation of
the plan spread over three years.
1T will give the scholars" said DR..
Magrath, time to assimilate with the
mass. and 1t will prevent undue herd
ing with their own kin"
Although the scholars will enter as
undergraduates, DR.. Magrath said
that personally he would be quite
willing, If his colleagues agreed, to
place them in Queens College ON a
level with Queens own" scholars. pro-
Vided the educational tests proved adj
equate.
Or. Essen of Merton, Prof Smith,
history tutor of Balliol and others all
welcomed the idea most heartily. ,
The dean OF New College said he
considers $500 ample, even if the stu
dent had to maintain himself the year
round, but he said that Cecil Rhodes
had fallen into the same error as
most educational benefactors in for
getting that the university needed an
endowment quite as much as the
scholars.
Canon Weldon of Westminster Alb
hey and late Bishop of Calcutta also
expressed approval of Mr.. Rhodes
plan.
DR.. Stevenson of Exeter College said
he thought the plan would bring Ok
ford good athletes and enable the uni
versity to achieve the much desired
object of vanquishing Cambridge in
athletics.
The Daily Chronicle also publishes
the opinions on this subject of Lord
Strathcona and Mount Royal, the Ca
madam high commissioner in London,
ana the Australian agents general, all
of whom concur in Cecil Rhodes splen-
did idea
A member of Oriel College approved
Mr.. Rhodes plan, especially as one
likely to lead to other benefactions,
particularly from America, This Oxon-
ian also referred to the fact that Mr..
Rhodes plan would prove expensive
to the university, which, he said, was
already poor.

MOOSE FIGHT 70 THE DEATH.
a Roston Man Tells of Battle He
Witnessed Near Mount Katahdin.

Witnessed Near Mount kntnhdin.
From the Bangor (M.) Commercial.
George r. Stewart, who has just re-
turned to his home in Boston from a,
few weeks in the northern part of
Maine, told a Commercial reporter an
interesting story of a struggle to the
death which he witnessed between
two bull moose in the deep snow up
near Mount Katahdin.
81 started out from camp early in
the morning" said Mr.. Stewart, "and
before ] had gone three miles | struck
moose signs. Although l had no rifle
with me, | decided to follow them, par
ticularlv as they We're quite fresh.
padded along ON snowshoes for the
greater part of two hours, when l
commenced to hear the noise of the ems
counter. Finally / reached a point
behind a big pine tree, where l could
get a good view of the Infatuated ami
mails.
nThere was. / should say. some four
feet of snow on the ground. and the
ponderous weight of the animals
brought them down through 1t to the
solid ground as though 1t had simply
been water. When l first saw them
the two moose were struggling with
locked horns, totally obIivious to all
about them.
For the next two OF three minutes
the moose swayed backward and for
ward without either of them apparent
ly gaining the slightest advantage.
Suddenly the one nearest me disre-
gagged himself and broke away. My
first thought was that the animal had
had enough Of the fight and that he
had decided discretion to be the better
part of valor,
II was wrong. though, for no sooner
had the moose gained a sufficient dis
tanee than he lowered his mighty
head and, with a below OF rage, charg-
ed his bulky antagonist Well, talk
about your knockout bowsl That
moose got one that made me open my
eyes wide with establishment, Instead
OF retreating or making counter
charge, the second moose remainea
prfeetly still. He seemed to me to be
calmly waiting the attack.
Suddenly ] saw him rear up on
his rear legs and, coming down, plant
his knifelike front hoofs directly on the
head of his enemy. The force was
terrific and the moose nearest me went
down under the blow like log of
wood. 1t was then that the other bull
commenced to get in his work. His
antagonist was at his mercy and he
proposed to make the most of his adj
vantage. I'm afraid he wasn't q very
chivalrous moose.
Time and time again the bull
brought those terrible front hoofs
down on the PROSTATE body before
him. The other moose made desperate
efforts to gain his feet, but his should
er had been broken when he first fell
and the efforts cane to naug'ht. For a
time he struggled and then at last he
by perfectly stll. His murderer gave
the body a last contemptuous blow
and then disappeared through the un-
dergrowth."
