The A merican Commission
Was Received at the
Vatican.
ROOSEVELT BOOKS TO pORTlFf.
Presented by the Governor General,
Also a Letter-Pope Assured Of
Friendliness of United States to
Catholic chureh-Leo XIII Replied.

Rome, June o.-In0 1dIL COIuLHlS-
sion yesterday drove to the vatican
and was received in special audience
by the pope. Governor Taft and Gen.
eral Smith were in evening dress.
Major Porter was in full uniform,
while Bishop O'Gorman, who accom-
panied the party, wore episcopal
robes. The pope shook the COVER
nor's hand and expressed pleasure at
seeing him in Rome. He spoke in
French and Governor Taft in Eng
lish.
Governor Taft, in presenting Presi-
dent Roosevelt's letter to the pope
made a brief address, congratulating
the pontiff on his jubilee. Judge Taft
presented the pontiff with box con-
tanning President Roosevelts literary
works, and the pope expressed his
thanks for Mr.. Roosevelt's friendly
greetings, promised to study the diff
ficult question, and said he hoped for
good results. The pontiff also asked
Judge Taft to thank President Roose-
welt. for his gift.
The audience then lost its official
character and became friendly con
versation, which lasted for half an
hour.
Not Hostile to the Catholic Church.
While talking with the pope Gov
ernor Taft reviewed in a summary
way the questions in the Philippines
which require settlement. He point
ed out to bis holiness that the read
justment of the relations Of church
and state in the islands was not an
Indication of hostility Of the United
States to the Catholic church, but de-
clared that such readjustment was
merely a necessity under the Ameri
can constitution. Governor Taft re
ferred to the prosperity and the free
dom of tho Roman Catholic church in
the United States and cited these con
| ditions as an assurance that the vati
can had nothing to fear from the ex.
tension of the authority Of the United
States over the Philippine islands.
Replying to Judge Taft, the pontiff
expressed the greatest pride in the
Roman Catholic church in the Unit ed
States and intense interest in the
| great republic. He said he earnestly
| desired to help the American admin
istration of the Philippines in every
possible way, and he assured Gov
ernor Taft that the vatican would ap
| proach all questions raised in the
| broadcast and most conciliatory spirit
The pope said also that matters OF
| detail in connection with the ques
lions to be decided would be referred
| to a committee OF cardinals, where
they would be considered at length
| and that all the issues would be treat
| ed with the sole aim of reaching a
settlement satisfactory to all parties
concerned.
Pope Appeared In Good Health.
The pope appeared to be in excel
lent health during his interview with
Governor Taft and was of vivacious
humor. He referred pleasantly tc
Archbishop ireland in what he had t
say concerning the Roman Catholic
church In tbs United States.
After the audience the whole mis-
sion visited Cardinal Rampolla. The
latter and Judge Taft opened the dis
cussion of Philippine matters.

CHALMETTE CAMP WAS LEGAL.
No Violation of Neutrality-suspicious.
tons of Enlistments Not Proven.
Report Sent to House.

Washington, June 6.-President
Roosevelt, in response to resolution
Of inquiry, with letter, transmitted
to the house the report of Colonel
Crowder, on the British mule camp
at Chalmette, La. He also gave the
substance of a letter written by Sec
rotary Hay to the governor Of Louisi-
ana, dated June 8.
Secretary Hay in this letter sums
up the main facts as found by Colonel
Crowder and also gives rules OF in
ternational usage respecting the sale
Of goods to parties at war. Mr.. Hay
says the serious point in the charges,
submitted by Mr.. Pearson and by the
Boer legislative committee Of Phila
delphia, was that the British author
tiles had enlisted men in this copn
try for service in South Africa. The
government made particular efforts
to find out if there was any basis for
this charge, but Mr.. Hay says that
Colonel Crowder's report shows that
not a single instance could be discoV
cred by him. Moreover, the attorney
general, on May IL, requested the
Boer legislative committee for cyl
dence which would substantiate this
charge, but received no information
from them on this point. He further
also says in part:
ChaImette Not Military Camp.
what has been found is that Ger
tain officers of the British army, act
ing in the capacity Of purchasing
agents and inspectors, have, been en-
gagged in the work Of buying, collect
ing and inspecting horses and mule:
at different places in the United
States and shipping them from Chal
mette to South Africa There have
been Ii of these officers. The British
government some time since ordered
the recall of all Of them. The mel
| employed under them have all beer
| Americans. Chalmette was not mil
| itary camp or pct nor base of mil
| itary supplies, as the terms are de
fined by standard military authepitaes
nor in any sense save such as would
make a Touring mill or a packing
house a base of military supplies. i
-four or canned meat were shipped
from either through series {
months to any belligerent power
Chalmette was simply a shipping sta
ton for mules"
Mr.. Hay next addresses himself t,
the law in the matter, in part as fol
lows: He says our duty has beer
laid down again and again. HI
quotes from the declaration o
Thomas Jefferson when secretary o
state at the time Of the hostilitie
between England and France:
Citizens Free to Sell Goods.
"Our citizens have always been fire,
to make, vend and export arms. T.
suppress their ca1lings because wa
exists in foreign and distant countries
in which we have no concern hardl.
| would be expected"
Similar declarations by Alexande
Hamilton, President Pierce, Chic
Justice Chase and President Gran
are cited.
Colonel Crowder, in part, at on
point says that the only enlistment
were few muleteers, and thi

so laid as to form a sort Of pavement,
breaking joints as much as possible in
the manner of laying brick. All pro-
tecting points are then broken off and
the crevices are filed with stone chips,
the whole structure being wedged and
consolidated into complete pavement.
Upon this, the small broken stones are
laid, exactly as in the macadam road.
If for the reason Of economy, it is not
desired that stone road be construct
ed, then gravel road may answer the
purpose very we'll. BY gravel road is
not meant the dumping Of loose gravel
on the old roadbed, as is the common
practice spring and fall in the rural
districts, but the making of a road with
a good foundation somewhat similar
to that Of the macadam road. The
grade should be laid in exactly the
same way and the dirt excavated to a
depth sufficient to insure solid crust.
The bed should be we'll rolled and then
covered with perhaps three layers Of
clean. sharp gravel, each layer being
well-rolled in turn the last being suffl-
GENTLY treated to make it capable of
carrying a heavy load without sink
ing in. This makes very good road
but care must be taken to sub-drain
and surf;lce-draln it Well. On no ac-
count should sluices he constructed
across the surface Of the road. Use

across where necessary.
In building this kindsof road, as we'll
as all others, all heavy grades should
be avoided where possible, always re-
membering that in almost every in
stance 1t is no further around a hill at
it's base than it is over the top.
Maintenance of Stone Roads.
1t is desirable that stone roads be
frequently scraped, to remove all dust
and mud, whose presence destroy the
surface much quicker than anything
else.
Nothing better than hoes has been
devised for this purpose. Scrapers
drawn by horses are likely to pull out
the broken stones which make the
roadbed. Cutters and drains should be
kept open, to allow of the prompt
drainage Of all water.
When ruts or depressions begin to
show. material of the same sort as Is
used in making the road should be
placed in the worn spots. Fine ma.
