The Irish language is above all others
the language of lovers. You may find

CUT OF 25 PER CENT.
Administration Favors Reduction of
Duty on Cuban Sugar.

| Washington, Jan. 31.-The only
business matter of interest under dis
cussion at the cabinet meeting today
was the Cuban reciprocity question.
now before congress. The president
is very much in earnest in his advo-
cacy Of a reduction of the duty on
Cuban sugar. Secretary Root also is
strong advocate of reduction of
about 25 per cent. 1t is believed that
this proposition meets with the gen.
eral approval of the members Of the
cabinet.
Chairman Payne of the house ways
and means committee, today author
lied the following statement.
"A report is being industriously
circulated to the effect that the ways
and means committee, by taking
action on the bill reducing war taxes,
has indirectly sought to dispose of
the subject of Cuban reciprocity.
Nothing could be further from the
facts, and the erroneous report ap-
PN"i w bO IuS TSSulb vi u IulAJuF6 Oh
self-interesta and unwarranted specula-
tion. Tne fact that the ways and
means committee has taken no vote on
the subject of Cuban reciprocity, nor
has there been any such conference or
exchange of views among themembers
or among the Republicans of the com
mittee, as would warrant any conclus-
ION that there was no purpose to deal
with the subject of Cuban reciprocity.
The bill to reduce war revenue taxes
was taken up because it was the SEN
timent of the committee that the bur-
dens resting upon our people sLould
be lightened before we turned our at
tention to tightening the burdens of
other people. But it was not with the
idea of making the reduction of war
revenue taxes barrier to full consid-
Grafton of the relief asked by Cuba.
That subject is TO receive the full and
early attention of the wayspand means
committee and any report suggesting
that it had been covertly prejudiced is
unwarranted by the facts. Equally
unwarranted is the statement THAT any
informal exchange among the MEM
bers OF the committee discloses ma
jority against any action on Cuban
reciprocity"

MANY MORE ARE DEAD
Victims of Mexican Mine Explosion
Reach One Hundred and Six.

San Antonio, Tex, Feb. 2.-The
latest information from the Hondo,
Mexico, mine explosion shows it to
have been fully as serious as at first
reported. There was a total of 1O6
miners at work in the mine when the
explosion occurred, and all of them
are dead. The majority OF the victims
are Mexicans and Cinnamon, very few
Americans having been at work in the
mine.
Every mule in the mine was killed,
three dead ones being taken from the
debris today. The work of clearing
away the wreck in order to get to the
bodies is being rushed as rapidly as
possible, but there is no hope that any
of the l06 men would be rescued alive.
The explosion occurred in mine No. 6,
and was occasioned by striking a gas
pocket. The mine is the property of
the Coahuila Coal Company, r. M.
McKenny being uprrintendent. The
names Of none of the victims have been
learned here. The loss to the owners
OF the mineis verylheavy.

HE GIVES HIMSELF UP
James Rollins Bingham to Satisfy the
Laws Demands

Kansas City, Feb. 2. Broken in
health and fortune, his proud spirit
humbled beyond belief, with old age
coming upon him prematurely, James
Rollins Bingham, scion of one Of
Missouri's best families, will be
brought back to Kansas City to plead
guilty to the charges of forgery which
have been standing against him for
twelve long years. Police Chief Hay
es has sent an officer to Dallas, Tex,
to bring Bingham back to retributive
Justice.
Several days ago the authorities re-
ceived a letter from Bingham which
covered FIVE closely written pages and
told of his desire to end the suspense
which he has felt all of these years.
Bingham was at once written that re-
QUESTION papers wonld be secured for
his return as this was the only way he
could be brought back unless Bing-
ham paid his own way. Chief Sterl-
ing Price Of Dallas was notified by
Chief Hayes and yesterday telegraph
ed that he had Bingham in his charge.
Dallas, Tex, Feb. 2.-Detective
Johnson reached Dallas tonight from
Kansas City to receive from the Dali
las police department, j. Rollins
Bingham, the Kansas City lawyer,
and take him back To Kansas City to
answer to charges of forgery and fall
sihcation of papers, pending in the
courts there for the last twelve years,
in connection with property formerly
belonging to Bingham's stepmother.
Bingham will return to Kansas City
voluntarily tomorrow night, no requi-
sition papers being necessary. He is
in very poor health and out of money,
but maintains bearing that arouses
sympathy. Persons in Kansas City
wired financial aid for him to the Dal-
las police department today, which
Bingham apprecia tes.

ARE LOOKING THIS WAY
Americans in Philippines are Inter-
ested in Legislation.

Manila, Feb. 2.-Manila is intensely
interested as to what action congress
will take concerning the Philippine
islands. Ordinary local politics have
been formed, the optimists and the
pessimists, Some think that life and
property are unsafe outside of the
towns OF the islands, while others
ridicule such ideas and consider life
and property TO be assured.
Criticisms of the statement OF Civil
Governor Taft that he believed that
$1,000 men would be sufficient to gar
rison the islands in year are plenti-
full. Yet the ma jority of the business
men who are financially interested in
the provinces and consequently claim
exceptional opportunities for feeling
the pulse of the people, say that Gov
ernor General Taft is right on one
condition only, that being that con-
gress acts for the benefit of the Philip
pines.
Captain Frank Green, president of
the American chamber of commerce
here, says he fully believes that Civil
Governor Taft's forecast can be real
lied If congress will arrange to open
the country to mining and homestead
laws and to enlarge the forestry
reserves. Should this legislation be
effected, an act by the Philippine COM
mission granting franchises would
naturally follow and American capital
in large quantities, as we'll as many
American miners and homestead
seekers would come to the islands.

NOT FOR GOVERNORSHIP
The Atchison Man Says He Will No.
be a Candidate

Leavenworth, Kas., Feb. Captain
John Seaton of Atchison stated to a
correspondent for The Starin Leaven-
worth tonight that he would not be a.
candidate for the Republican nomina-
tion for governor. He said that he
would be a candidate for reelection
to the Legislature from his county and
that he was anxious to go back once
more to hold down the Kansas state
senator's whom he alleges tried to close
the penitentiary twine plant for the
twine trust. Inthe interview Captain
Seaton intimated very strongly that
twine trust attempted to shut down the
twine plant entirely in the session a
year ago and that the scheme would
have been successful except for the de-
termined stand he took in the matter
and the backing received in the house
of representatives.

Sensation in London.

London, Feb. "a sensational dispute
between wealthy mother and daughter
over the custody of the latter's children
was aired in the courts last week. The
parties were Mrs. Naylor Leland and her
daughter, Hon. Mrs. Chetwynd, sister in
law Of Lady Naylor Leland, who was
Miss Jennie Chamberlain of Cleveland.
Mrs. Chetwynd was divorced from her
husband in 1900. She then signed an agree
ment allowing her two little girls to spend
certain time with Mrs. Naylor Leland,
for which privilege the latter allowed her
daughter $4,000 yearly, making her in
come $4,000. On Thursday last Mrs.
Chetwynd sued her mother to recover
$4,000 due under this agreement, but a
decision was rendered against her, as it
was proved that she had removed the chill
dren from their grandmothers care, had
taken them to South Africa and had neg
lected their education, thereby breaking
her part of the contract.
In court Mrs. Chetwynd swore that her
mother was mad, that she was not fit TO
have the children with her on account Of

PAYING OIL WELLS OF JAPAN.
Modern Methods of Drilling Have DE.
velOpcd Petroleum Industry.


Mr.. Renters Of the British consular
service In Japan has submitted to the
British Board OF Trade n report on
the petroleum industry. which has Of
late attracted much attention and
reached considerable dimensions In
that country. The only place In which
the oil Is produced In large quantities
Is In the province Of EchigO. on the
west coast. the center Of the industry
being the town OF Arnase, where the
largest oil company In the country has
been at work since 1883 with machln-
cry imported from the United States.
Here wells were dug In the sea and
carried above the sea level by double
ring of piles filled In with earth. In
the northern part of the province oil
was discovered In 1850 and led to q
fever of speculation.
In 1892 there were between 600 and
TOO speculative companies with small
capital at work In Echigo. and most of
them failed. On their ruins arose
large companies working on great
scale and with imported machinery.
Hand boring has almost ceased to cx-
list. ana with Improvement In methods
of winning the oil came Improvement
in the transport Of the oil to the re-
fneries. Pipe lines were introduced
to convey 1t from the wells to the re-
finereis and from the latter to the rail-
way stations. and 1t has been proposed
to construct pipe line all tie way to
Tokyo. the capital. about twenty miles
away.
Petroleum has also been found In
Yexo, the northern island. and 1t Is be-
lieved that the supply there Is rs rich
as II Is In Echigo. In one place In the
island wells have been dug and worked
by hand for some years. Here the oil
.overfiows into the sea. and In stormy
weather boats take refuge there on
account OF the smoothness of the wat.
er. In 1890 the total production Of the
oil in Japan was 1S.S33.9l5 gallons. OF
which 1S.I13,2S0 gallons were produc-
ed In Echigo.-I.ondon Telegraph.
