the following words be added hereto:
washington also occupies the
first place next to the immortal DR..
Rial in he hearts of the Filipinos.
Both devoted their precious lives to
secure the liberty of their respective
peoples. In the union of these two
noble sentiments is based the firm
faith Of the Philippine federal party
in the Amerll.-4 government, whether
the Republican or the Democratic
party is in power.
Both parties love Washington ami
they viii never betray their great

THE ENCOURAGING FACTORS
Outweigh the Disturbing Elements
In Business, Says Dun's Review.
Features Of the Week.


New York, May 31-R G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade, issued
today, said in part:
Ease in the money market, favor
able crop prospects and confidence
abroad are the encouraging factors
which outweigh the disturbing ele-
ments of labor conflicts and unseason-
able weather for retail trade at many
points. Effects of the depressing In
fiuences are less keeAly felt because
they are believed to. be only tempo
rary, and confidence is expressed that
with, the resumption Of work and nor
NAL, temperature there will be re-
turn to the liberal distribution Of
merchandise. Despite the short corn
crop last year, the large yield of
wheat and high prices for both re.
suited in the greatest value for the
two crops ever recorded, and other
industries must share the good for
tune by Increased sales of products.
Collections are prompt as a rule, and
payments through the principal clear
ing houses are well maintained. Not
understanding diminished speculation.
there was an increase Of IL per cent
at New York, compared with last
years exchanges. Returns as to
transportation show that losses In
grain movement are being more than
made up elsewhere, railway earnings
thus far reported for May showing q
gain of 6:5 per cent over last year,
and 1910 per cent over 1900.
Clothing manufacturers are pur-
chasing wooden goods in moderation
only, and larger deliveries by the
leading company increases the dis
position towards conservatism.
Grain quotations made a decided
advance early in the week.. which was
not easily explained, except on the
basis Of light supplies in sight. This
element was not new, however, re-
eeipts having decreased very ma.
terially for many weeks in compari.
son with last years movement Sub
seQuently the gain was lost in option
trading, although cash corn was firm
ly held.
Failures for the week numbered 1874
in the United States, against las last
year, and 20 in Canada. against 81
year ago.

HERBERT MAY Be AMBASSADOR
Diplomat, With American Wife, May
Succeed the Late Lord
Pauncefote.

London, May 31.-The Hon. Michael
Henry Herbert, who is nominally sec
rotary Of the British embassy at
Paris, win probably be the next Brit
Ish ambassador to the. United States
In sucoessicn to the lat nd Paunce-
fote.
Mr.. Herbert's apa htment win
probably not be announced until the
remains OF Lord Pauncefote arrive
in England.
While there is no reason to beheve
that King Edward will object to Nh.
Herbert, who has the Official backing
Of both England and American diplo-
mats, there must always remain an
element Of doubt in the matter until
the suggested appointment receives
the royal sanction. and especially in
view Of the acute attention which his
majesty has given to this important
promotion.
While nominally secretary to the
British embassy at Paris, Mr.. Herbert
vas really minister plenipoteRtiaTy
TO France, and as such he frequently
acted in most important crises in
the absence of Sir Edmund j. Mon
sen, Great Britain's ambassador
there.
Mr.. Herbert smarriage with Leila,
daughter of Richard. T. Wilson, Of
New York, as result of which he
became closely related to the Wander
bilts, the Ogden-Goelets and the AS
tors, will not in any way interfere,
according to opinion. here, with his
usefulness as Great Britain's ambas-
sador at Washington. Mr.. HERBERT
record at Washington as charge
d'affaires from 1888 to 1889. and as
secretary to the British legation there
from 1892 to 1893 and his work as
British agent on the Venezuelan com
mission. eminently fit. him, so officia!
belief inclines, for his proposed new
and important duties.
Before the new ambassador at
Washington takes up his duties the
salary attached to the position will
probably be put upon par with the
slightest paid in Great Britain's diplc-
matte service, namely, that which is
paid the ambassador at Paris, $4,000
year.
Washington. May 31.-While no Of
fetal information could be mad last
night as 70 whether this government
has been sounded as to Mr.. Herbert
acceptability as ambassador, it is be
lieyed by people familiar with his
standing here while seer rotary of the
legation and charge d'affaires that
his selection would be entirely agree.
able to the United States. He filed
his post here with tact and ability
and was Of a courteous and agree
able personality. He had charge of
the legation for considerable inter
walls in the absence OF the head of the
British legation. and considerable re-
greet was expressed when it was
learned he had been promoted and
ordered abroad.

WHEN NATI4ESEEARN
To Govern Themselves, Then
We Can Decide Future of
Philippines.
THE PRESIDENT so DECLARED.
Soldiers Guilty of crueIties to Be
Punished, but Let Not Those LlV-
ing IN Ease at Home Rail Too
Strongly Against Them.

Washington, May 31.-Decoration
day was observed here yesterday per-
haps more generally than ever before.
President Roosevelt spoke at Airing
ton cemetery.
Speaking Of the reported cruelties
In the Philippines, he said in part:
The guilty are to be punished;
but in Furnishing them, let these who
sit at ease at home, who walk deli
cately and live in the soft places of
the earth, remember also TO do them
common justice.
Peace and freedom.-are there two
better objects for which a soldier
can fight? Well, these are precisely
the objects for which our soldiers are
fighting in the Philippines. When
there is talk Of the cruelties commit
ted in the Philippines, remember al
ways that by far the greater proper
f, ton of these cruelties have been COM
mitted by the insurgents against their
own people-as well as against our
soldiers-and that not only the surest
but the only effectual way Of stop
ping them is by the progress Of the
American arms.
Conquer to Promote Civil Rule.
Our soldiers conquer, and what Is
the object for which they conquer?
To establish a military government?
No. The laws W care now endeavor-
ing to enact for the government OF
the Philippines are to increase the
power and domain of the civil at the
expense Of the military authorities,
and to render even more difficult than
In the past the chance Of oppression
I'VE believe that we can rapidly
teach the people Of the Philippine
Islands not only how TO enjoy, but
no VITO make good use OF their free
dom; and with their growing knowl-
edge the growth In government
shall keep steady pace. When they
have thus shown their capacity for
real freedom by their power Of self
government then, and not till then.
win It be possible to decide whether
they are to exist Independently Of US
or be knit to Us by ties Of common
friendship and interest. When that
day viii come 1t is not in human wis
dow now to foretell."

Madame Mermet,

1t is safe to say that no one place
had the edge in the matter of visitors
who We're out to see what is new"
In the millinery line. 1t is but natur-
al that ladies' want to visit every
place where beauty in headgear
abounds. and Madame Mermet's par
lors were well filed during the early
part of the afternoon and will no
doubt continue so during the day, al
though the opening days will extend
over Monday and Tuesday, the com
ing week and possibly longer, Here,
too, are found many handsome de-
signs in Partisan hats which caught
the fancy of callers, but the Madame
has made specially of home
trimmed hats for both women and
children, the children's line being es-
pecially attractive.
But words fail us in giving a com
plete description of the millinery dis
plays this spring. 1t is necessary to
make a personal inspection. The Her
aid has simply endeavored to give an
outline of what can be seen at the
three openings today and what can
be expected the coming Tuesday even
ing at The Famous, adding that the
dressmaking parlors at Madame Mer-
NETS were inspected for latest in
gowns and tailormade suits.

Many Of them may be disposed or
