CIVIL RULE AT ONCE
Philippine Government Law
to Be Put In Operation.
A CENSUS ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS.
Governor Taft Plans to Have Natives
Do This Work Largely-PreSident
Schurmnn Sends Congratulate
tiOns to Chairman Cooper.

tiOns to Chairman Cooper.
WASHINGTON July 3.-Chairman
Cooper of the house committee OH i'll
sular affairs says steps will be taken
at once to put the Philippine govern
ment in operation.
'The first step" said Mr.. Cooper,
twill be the complete transfer of au-
thority from the military to the civil
officials except in the Moro country,
where there is some lingering disorder.
The transfer will be accomplished by a
proclamation of the president which, it
is understood, will be issued on the 4th
thMity to the civil authorities the
change will permit a considerable re-
ductiCn of the military force in the is
lands, although orders already given
contemplate Il reduction down to 5000
men. In 1900 we had 10000 men in the
Philippines. so that we soon will have
reduced the force by $1,000 officers and
men. ana the transfer Of authority un-
der the act doubtless will lead to a fur
thyr reduction before long.
"Thc next step will be to take the
census as provided by the act GOV.
crnor Taft iold me this work would be.
gin as soon as he reached Manila. His
plan is to have the work done rs far as
possible by FilipinoS. and the commits
sion will get up their own census sys-
tenn instead Of having ii done by the
census office at Washington, although
they are empowered to get census cX-
pcrts from here by making application
to the president. The purpose, howev-
cr, is to make the work thoroughly Il
local one. so that it will serve the Fill
pinOs as an object lesson. The census
will take about Il year.
"As TO the general effect Of the act
we have just enactcd,' said Mr. Coo
per. Il share the view Of Governor
Taft, who said that if this bill became
law we would hear 10 more of the
Philippines than we do Of Porto Rico
and that tn" Philippine problem would
gradually disappear"
Mr.. Cooper has received the follow
ing telegram from President J. II.
Schurman Of Cornell. who was head Of
the first Philippine commission:
Cordial congratulations on your
splendid victory securing a legiSla-
tive assembly for the Filipinos. Our
commission recommended it. Your bill
shows constructive craftsmanship of
the highest order Fiipinos will bless
you forever

A NEW BLOCK SIGNAL
Central Railroad Adopts an Electro
Gas Mechanism,

ScHtraA NuIarOhu AuOpts an ElcctrO
Gas Mechanism.
NEW YORK, July 3.-The New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad
company has awarded contract for
the equipment of its Putnam division
from One Hundred and Fifty fifth
street, New York city, to Yonkers with
a system of automatic electro gas
block signals, to be operated on the
normal danger plan. This application
of signals represents the latest and
most thoroughly perfected system of
railroad protection In the automatic
block signaling art.
The signal blades, or semaphore
arms, are positively held by gravity to
horizontal position to indicate to the
engineer danger ahead or are drawn
down to indicate safety by carbonic
scd gas pressure in cylinder in each
signal post. The gas is stored in liquid
form in tank underground beside
the post. The valve controlling the
flow of gas from the tank to the cylin-
der is closed or released by an electric
current passing through the rails, and
this is done automatically by the pres
ence or otherwise of a train in the
block ahead and the approach Of a
train from behind. The electric con-
nections are such that the signal blade
stands normally at danger. When the
locomotive approaches it, the engineer
sees the blade down at safety if it is
safe to 90 alHad, or the blade remains
up at danger if there is a train, open
switch Or a broken rail ahead
Signal engineers representing many
leading railroad companies in the Unit.
ed States have made a critical cXami-
nation of this new system of automatic
block signals and predict that it will
speedily rcyolutionize the block sig
mailing business of the world

ALREADY complaints have COM
menced to pour into the ears of the
tax collectors. The extra assessors
appointed by City Council put up
nearly every property in the city.
In some instances they were raised
from 5000 to $4,000 or more. This
means considerable more money for
the real estate owners to pay. With
no means of increasing their reve-
nue., the property owner is held up
by the throat and made to hand
over his dollars. There is no ESCAPE
from the exactions of City Council,
who through their agents, the tax
collectors, make out your bill with
a pleasant smile, and you must pay
or have your property sold. At q
forced sale not half the properties
would bring near their assessed
value. The question is, how long
will people submit to this extortion?
1t can't go on forever without the
property owners making q kick. A
lower tax rate means nothing when
the assessed value is raised to offset
the reduction. The collectors have
nothing to do with fixing the valua-
ton. The finance committee give
them the books with instructions to
collect the amount opposite each
name. The high tax rate and high
assessment is one reason Whining
ton real estate don't sell better
Persons don't care to buy property
that depreciates in value and re-
quires trouble and expense to get a
6 per cent return on the money in
vested. The taxes must be paid
whether you collect your rent or
not.

THE UNION PACIFIC STRIKE.
MacbInists ana BOILER Makers In For
Lon9, Stubborn Fight.


OMAHA, Neb., July 3.--The strike of
the nMchinlsts and boiler makers Of
the Union Pacific seems to have set
tied down to a stubborn, quiet fight for
supremacy. The strikers feel more EN-
couraged from the walkout of their
craftsmen on the Northwestern and
Montana Central railroads, which they
say will greatly assist them because of
the extra demand it will create for
skilled workmen.
There are several places along the
road where the strikers have met the
insurgont spirit. This was particularly
true at Evanston, Wyo., where but few
Of the men quit work. w. Webster,
president Of district No. of Evanston,
has gone to "line up his men. Much
interest centers in the situation at that
point.
The company has taken the precau-
ton of doubling the guards at the
shop grounds in this city, and the
strikers have placed pickets to watch
the movements of the company and
prevent if possible new men going to
work.
