PEACE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Good Report Brought by Governor
Wright.

Honolulu Nov 1.-The transport
Sumner arrived here October Goth en-
route to San Francisco with Gen. A.
R. Chaffee and Vice Governor Luke E.
Wright of the Philippines on board.
The steamer passed through terrible
experience in a typhoon soon after
leaving Manila. She lost one of her
boats and had several damaged, and
for a number of hours was in grave
danger.
In an interview published by the
Commercial Advertiser, Governor
Wright had the following to say OF
conditions in the Philippines and
their future:
THE development following the in
auguration of the civil government Oh
the islands have been most satisfac-
tory. We have now civil government
almost everywhere and the people
Eeem to be learning its advantages.
The system of provincial and munich
pal government has worked well. Dur
ing the past year there has not been
single defalcation and very few thefts.
There is degree of peace and safe
ty in the Philippines now that was
never reached under the Spanish rule.
The Spaniards used to pay the brig
Ends to keep the peace and we have re-
fused to continue this system. After
the passage of the Philippine bill last
year, we established the insular con-
stabulary and we now have 5000 or
these police. We find that they are
the best men for the business and
they have cleared the provinces OF law
breakers with great rapidity. The ser
vice is one which appeals to the ma
tives. for the police are chosen from
the tribes where they must serve
The future of the islands will be
great one What are needed most are
railroads and. these may be built soon
by American capital. There is trunk
line on the island of Luzon now unoer
consideration. and its building Will
help matters greatly.
The Sumner left Honolulu last Mon
day and is expected to arrive here 10
morrow with Major General ChaHee
and Vice Governor Wright on board

un.ueeessful A..emp. to Rob a Train.

Austin. Tex, Nov. 10.-The st.
Louis flyer to Mexico City over the
International and Great Northern. due
here 9 o'clock tonight. owes its
safety to the fact that a local passen-
ger ahead of it running two hours and
half behind time crashed into pile
Of debris placed on the track presum-
ably to wreck the flyer.
Five miles from the city. just on
the edge of the mountain ranges and
near the scene of three famous hold
ups, the local train smashed into a
big pile of rocks and cross ties that
had been driven between the rails,
The train had slowed up to discharge
passengers and was not derailed. Two
suspicious characters were noticed
near the scene earlier In the day.

WAR OVER ASSESSMENTS.
Teller County Makes a Cut that il De-
clared ILLEGAL.

Denver. Nov. 1.-THE first gun in
the battle to be waged by county otii-
cials against the State Board Of
Equalization. In the mater Of al
legged unfair equalization of assess
ments. was fired yesterday by Coun-
ty Assessor LysigAt of Teller county.
The state auditor received from As
SCISSOR Lysight m amended abstract
OF the Teller comfy assessment. re-
ducing the total valuation of all prop
erty in the county from 81, o,3o0.7s2 to
$12 .309 .090.
This is a cut of nearly $S.0o0.o00. or
more than one-thfrd of the total vali-
alton Auditor Crouter was not In his
ONCE when the Communication was re-
ceived. but Deputy Auditor Daniels,
who has charge nf such matters, was
overcome with surprise County Az
SCISSOR Lysight's better states that the
figures he submitted were as amend
ed by our County Board of EQualiIa-
tion In their meeting and included
the reductions in railroad valuations
made by the state board.
Where the Teller county officials
Kut their authority tn make any such
reduction cannot imagine" said
Deputy Auditor Daniels. The county
abstracts were all IN \ month ago. and
the state board passed on them and
male the tax levy. and we have certi-
fieti the levy and the amounts due
from the various counties. 1t Ks rath-
er ,lute in the day for \ comfy asses
snr to amend his abstract. especially
when he cuts down his total by nearly
s.. 100000. In my opinion the action
is clearly illegal. and shall recom-
mend that no attention be paid 10 this
amended abstract"
The revenue law provides thuf the
county commissioners shall st as =

no other time. Section - OF The law
provides that the county board may

INEXHAUSTIBLE BEDS OF COAL
ALONG THE NEW MOFFAT ROAD

Quite naturally, much interest is be-
fng manifested in the natural re-
sources of the region to be opened up
by the new Moffat railroad. The fol-
lowing article concerning the coal de-
posits of that section is therefore OF
value. 1t is taken from the Engineer
ing and Mining Journal of recent date,
and says:
The new railroad line between Den
yer and Salt Lake City, which will
pass through Routt county in north
western Colorado, has attracted a
great deal of attention in that coun-
try. Its possibilities are great in all
the agricultural lines, but the main
resources, which will receive the
greatest benefit from the construction
Of the new line, are without a doubt
the coal deposits. Their exploitation,
which is only attempted in small
way now, in order to supply the local
demand, will receive a great impetus
when the higher grades OF coal can
reach larger market.
h. There are extensive deposits OF lig-
nitic coal of the same quality as that
exploited in the northern coal fields
of the eastern slope of the Rockies In
Lafayette, Erie, Scranton and the
neighboring towns between Golden
and Boulder. As the output OF these
fields could be easily increased. the
coal fields of the western slope. with
an additional freight over the range,
can be only very poor competitor.
However. the home market will be
largely increased with the advent OF
the railroad and a demand could be
created in Utah for this grade of coal.
Tp,,t fha f,,fn nj fields
Routt county is much more in the
tracts of high-grade coal which have
been opened in several localities
Since the deposition of the coal the
country has been subjected to strong
earth pressure which has folded up in
long anticlines and synclines the coal
measures with the other formations
Moreover. the measures have been in
several places cut by dikes and
masses of eruptive rocks. which have
forced their way through. In many
places. by their heat and large out
pouring OF steam, they have effected
the transformation of the coal from a
Ignite with large percentage OF
volatile matter into bituminous and
coking coal and even into anthracite.
The coal measures in Routt county,
as everywhere else in Wyoming. Col
orado and New Mexico, are found in
the deposits of the Laramie formation.
They belong to the latest part OF the
cretaceous epoch. just before the dawn
of the tertiary. 1t is a soft-water form
alton. deposited in large. shallow Ia
goons. with a semi-tropical vegetation.
In many cases the marshes were prob
ably more or less in communication
with the open sea- The strata are an
alienation of massive or thick-bedded
sandstones with beds of shale. The
Laramie formation Is from 1,20O to l.
500 feet thick. with three levels OF coal
measures. one at the bottom, another
in the middle and the third one at the
top. Each of these three coal meas
ures has several veins and often sew
eral OF workable size. of thickness
varying from four to fifteen feet OF
course. veins from a few inches up oc-
cur yet more frequently. As rule,
each vein is separated from the next

Strenuous efforts were made to locate

put Mr. John Shelton Williams, the own
er. when communicated with, refused to
sell. The closing OF the deal for an en-
tire block on Main street just three
squares from the Hannewinkle building
leads to the conclusion that the same
party who tried to purchase that build
ing has been the purchaser of the pro-
perty at Fifth and Main.
1t is a gratifying sign that out-of-town

ages offered by Richmond real estate as

Van de EYYer.

Right Rev Bishop Van de Tyver re
ceiped a cablegram yesterday announc-
Ing the. death of his brother. Mr. Henry
Nan de yyver. at Haerdonch, Belgium.
The latest previous news the Bishop
had from his brother stated that he was
slightly improved, but he was a con-
frned invalid. and it was known that
ne could never recover.
Bishop Van de Vyrer went abroad in
the spring to see him. returning about a
month ago He found him better. but
even then no hope was entertained, and
when he returned to America he never
expected to see him again.
Much sympathy is expressed for the
bishop by his Pensioners and the Cath
olics at large, by whom he is greatly
beloved.
A requiem mass will probably be said
at the Cathedral Sunday morning for
the repose of Mr.. Van de VyveC=s soul.
Mr. Van de vyver was married man
with a large family and was about 80
years OF age.
