The Fourth Of July will be made mem
orable in the Philippines by the creation
Of civil governments in the provinces
where pacification has been slow and by
a declaration of amnesty and the release
of the prisoners on the island Of Guam.
The day will mark the rough COM
pletion of one Of the biggest Jobs ever
undertaken by the United States-the
pacihcation of the Philippines. To crush
the organized insurrection was no job
at ALL But to reorganize the political
structure, of the. islands. bring system
out of chaos, order out of disorder, Sc
curity to life and property out Of q reign
of crime has been no. easy task. IN the
main it apr ears to have been accom-

DEFERRED FOR PERFECTION

The president has advised the house
committee in charge of the bill providing
for the establishment of a department of
commerce, to defer action upon 1t and let
1t go over, to the, short session. Of this
congress. ,.5..g: Under the. circumstance this
would seem @to2 be wise faction and the
committee will probably follow. the presi-
dent suggestion. - = }%E%Gr<t aT".'..% ?
1t was apparent from the Introduction
of the bill in the senate that there were
very diverse Views as to which of the
existing bureaus could be conveniently or
advantageously included in the new ex-
ecutive depar tment. The labor unions OBJ
jected from the beginning to the placing
of the bureau Of labor there, they prefer
ring that it should continue as it is. It
was seen that it was hardly consonant
geological survey in the scope. and that
it was essential to include only the; mat
ters which have to do with commerce, as
navigation, customs, statistics, steamboat
inspection, immigration and the like.
Tariff, customs and reciprocity distinctly
statesmen are getting nervous upon these
subjects in view of the approaching. con-
gressional elections that they think the
passage Of any measure suggesting the
purpose Of pushing reciprocity or tariff
reduction in any shape, might affect their
political prospects. -;
A department of commerce with a tariff
and reciprocity bureau would be of i'm
mense service to the country, if placed In
charge of experts in these and other
specialties: If McKinley's policy touch
ing reciprocity was carried out there
would be plenty OF business for, such a
speciality in the department of commerce.
Congressman Hopkins Of Illinois, who
had charge of the formulation of the rec
| iprocity clause of the Dingley tariff bill,
favors strongly the fixing of maximum
and minimum duties by congress, the
ents with other countries willing to make
minimum rates to us. The department OF
commerce could take this matter in charge
| through an appropriate bureau.
Leading business bodies like the New
York Chamber of Commerce have called
! for the passage Of a bill creating a de-
partment which should have jurisdiction
over all the functions exercised by the
government as to transportation, naviga-
tion, manufactures and mining and all
statistics relating to them, and to es-
pecially promote the opening Of foreign
markets to our commerce Such demands
! of the business element can leave nc
doubt as to the strength of public senti-
ment favoring reciprocity and it Is a sen
timent which viii ultimately prevail ovel
/ purely political objections.
It will be well during the recess o.
congress for the president to study witt
expert officials the proper constitution o
a department of commerce. Such depart.
ment should not be overerowded. by add
ing to it too many bureaus from other de.
Epartments. It nedes to be carefully OF
! ganized, strictly with references to bust

A contemporary. discussing the cost OF

seems to assume that private property
there Is not paying it's share Of the, cost
of maintaining the city government. The
people Of Washington are taxed tor half

of Washingt on, and the federal govern

OFFICER KILLED
 BY UNKNOWN MAN
J. J. FLOWERS, MEMBER OF 5Es- sEMER POLICE FORCE, SHOT WHILE GOING REGULAR ROUNDS LOOKING FOR TRAMPs.

Bessemer, August 28.-(Special.) J. J. J. Flowers, a member of the local police force and a man highly re- spected by the entire community, was shot by an unknown white man at an early hour this morning and died almost immediately.
 The killing was unexpected and un- provoked. Officer Flowers and Officer J. W. Smitherman were in the habit of going through the empty cars on the Alabama Great Southern tracks in Carolina and Alabama avenues in search of tramps, who made a habit of sleeping in them. They were mak- ing their rounds this morning about 3 o'clock, when they came upon two men sleeping in a car just beyond where the dummy takes water at Ala bama avenue and Nineteenth street. They ordered the men to come out, and when they did not immediately comply Officer Flowers struck match and looked in. It was then that one of the men drew a pistol and shot twice, one of the shots hitting Officer Flowers in the heart. Smitherman rushed to his aid, but he expired al- most immediately. In the meantime
 
 The men are both white, and are be- lieved to be the two suspicious looking and acting characters seen hanging about the depot yesterday. One Is described as five feet six inches In height, weighing 130 pounds, about 25 years old and with dark hair; the other as five feet ten inches tall, weighing 40 pounds, about 27 years rtd Ad ~4- had about a weeks growth of beard. These descriptions, Officer Smitherman states, tally with those of theA men in the car.
 A general alarm was at once sent out, with descriptions of the men. The police state that the men have been heard from twice today and are going in the direction of Tuscaloosa. When last heard from they were at Wood stock, walking south. It is believed that they will soon be captured.
 There was a meeting of the city council and citizens this morning, at which a reward of $500 was offered for the apprehension of the men. The greatest indignation Is expressed at this unprovoked murder. Officer Flow. CTS was an unusually popular man, quiet, modest, and highly respected. He had lived here a number of years, coming here from Carroll county, Mis- sissippi. He had been on the police force two years. He leaves wife and a stepdaughter, Mrs. D. B. Stubbs.
 The funeral will take place tomor- row morning at o'clock at the late residence of deceased on Nineteenth street, between Sixth and Seventh ave- nues. The Rev. F. M. Craig of the Presbyterian church will officiate, and the 1nterment will be at Cedar Hill.
 Officer Flowers was AS years of age.

CARLISLE TALKS TO BAR.
Says Porto Rico Cannot Be Domestic
 and Foreign at Same Time.

Saratoga, N. Y, August 28.-John G. Carlisle of New York, former secre- tary of the treasury, delivered the an- nual address before the American Bar association today. He spoke upon the power of the United States to acquire and govern territory, which, he said, was a question growing out of the acquisition of territory from Spain. Unless the constitution is changed, which is hardly probable, said MT. Carlisle, the law is the same, whether the territory is located in the eastern or western hemisphere. He next touched upon the limitation of the power to acquire territory under the constitution of the United States and referred to the power to declare and to make treaties. The territory ac- quired by military occupation, the speaker declared, is held by the army until congress can meet and substi- ute civil for military government Congressional power to government ac- quired territory was dwelt upon at some length, and the Porto Rico incl dent in regard to imports and exports was alluded to by the speaker.
 Porto Rico and the Philippines can not be domestic for one purpose and foreign for another purpose" he said. MT. Carlisle quoted from decisions handed down by the United States supreme court to support his conten- tions.
