Only Two Provinces Not
Pacified, He Says.
Bands of Robbers Terrorize the
Natives.

San Francisco, Jan. DIV. III. Taft
Civil Governor of the Philippine Is.
lands, who arrived here on the trans.
port Grant, is quite i'll, the Philippine
climate and the arduous duties he has
performed having told on his constitu.
ton. He feels that after few days
of rest in this city he will be strong
enough to undergo the trip east and
make his report to the Secretary of
War. Gov. Taft says the wax is con.
fined to the two provinces, Batungas
and Samar.
The Governor says that Gen. Wheat.
on is doing splendid work in the Is.
lands and that officer assured MIN
shortly before he sailed that the ma
tives of the province of Batangas and
its vicinity would all be pacified be-
fore the close of next March. The
provinces of Cebu and Boholu, until
recently disturbed by insurgent oper.

are anxious to secure Legislature as
a step toward the permanent abolish

Ing with great zeal and has far eX.
ceeded expectations, the Governor
says. The chief difficulty at present
is the lack of police patrol in the
provinces. Small bands of robbers still
infest the back districts. They terror
ize the natives. The strong arm of
the law is about to suppress them and
absolute peace in the island will not
be obtained until then.

Mrs. Shaga obeyed her husband and
got out of the room, but when she
went she took all of her bed clothing
in the room, which she said belonged
to her mother. Then, to make sure
that her husband would have no more
peace of mind than sheiwas enjoying,
she went to the cellar and turned off
the gas at the meter, that his room
might not be warm enough to make
up for the lack of bed clothing. Shaga

REPORT
That Option Has
Expired
And N. O. T.-Canton-
Akron Deal Is Off.

1t was reported in the Canton news
papers Monday that the option Of the
N. O. 7. Co. on the Canton-AkrOn
lines now building had expired and
The deal been declared off.
This is probably incorrect, but as
Vice President viii Christy and
Manager CuIrie, of the N. o. r.. are
out of the city, it is impossible to
confirm or deny the report. However,
from what has been said by officials
heretofore, it would seem that the N.
q. r, means to hold onto the Canton
Akron. When the option was taken,
$4,000 was paid down, with the un-
derstanding that the Canton-Akron
Co. was to complete the line, making
it ready for the rolling stock, when
the NJ o. Il. would take hold.
This matter will be discussed by
the n. o. Il. directors at their annual
meeting I'm Cleveland, Thursday. I'm
til after that time nothing definite will
be known.
The n. O. T. Co. has proven itself
a very substantial concern, its net
earnings for the past year being $70,-
600. This showing, when 1t Is consid-
cred how many improvements were
made, is regarded as exceptionally
good. Announcement was made Sat
urday by II. w. Moore, president of
the N. o. 4. Company that
the company, would go ahead with its
plan of absorbing the Canton Akron.

providing this, and worked for its
adoption.
After the redlstricting of the city,
Mr.. lsbell drew all the boundary lines
for the "a precincts, and they were
adopted with but one change, which
he suggested himself.
