PHILIPPINE REVENUE CUTTERS.
Try TELEGRAPH TO THE rnIBuNE.l

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TnIBUNEl
Washington, jan. 30--Secretary Root is not in
clined to favor the scheme suggested by officials of
the Treasury Department to send experienced
officer of the United States Revenue Cutter Ser
vice TO assume charge of the Philippine coastwise
and intersland guard At of the Cabi-
net meetings this question was brought up and it
agreed that, in view of the increasing COM
merce OF those islands cutter service of some
kind needed But Secretary Root contends
that II IS advisable 10 organize in the Philippines
efficient service which could operate more ex-
tensvely than does the Treasury Departments
service at present. He expressed the opinion that
while the advice OF the revenue cutter service
would be desired, he should prefer to send a man
from the War Department, instructed TO carry out
plans for service which has already been started
by the civil authorities. When the first vessel was
ready for service the secretary OF the Taft Com
mission asked permission of the Secretary of the
Treasury 10 use the customs nag. which is
ried by revenue cutters. This granted and
partment volunteered for assisting in organ
izing the service There has always been some feel
ing OF jealousy between the Navy Department and
the Treasury Department concerning the admins
tration Of auxiliary naval services And now. with
the War Department having jurisdiction OF the
Philippines, there three hands in the fire to get
control of the insular revenue cutter guard ser
vice. Under whatever department IL may eventual
ly placed. it is certain that IL will be DEVELOPED

the eleven hospitals for the insane, and trans
ferring the superintendent Of their business af-
fairs substantially to the State Commission in
Lunacy. There are twenty-three thousand per
in the hospitals. and their maintenance and

the State Treasury the sum OF S5,0o0,OO.
Governor OdelI. and apparently also ma
jority of the members of the legislature. believe
that the business matters Of the hospitals can
he managed with more efficiency and economy
by the State Commission in Lunacy than they
are now by the managers. The bill, however,
provides for boards OF visitation. and thus the
hospitals will still continue under the inspection
constantly of members of charitable organiza-

The vote was not reached until after pro-
tracted debate, which lasted until $40 2. m.
Nearly every member heard at more or less
length All of the Republicans who voted in the
negative explained their reasons for so doing.

Excess OF
births

NJ Thery states that these figures prove what
has frequently been denied-namely, that the
decreasing birth rate is responsible for the check
in the increase of population. Marriages are IN
the same relative proportion now as in the reign
of Charles X 1t would seem that free unions
are more common than in the Bourbon
Restoration, because the proportion of illegiti-
mate children. which was only 696 for 100 births
in the period from 1915 to 1880. has risen to
over per cent for the period from 1872 to 1900
The death rate is steadily decreasing, and so is
the fecundity of French women.
The military aspects of the French census
have ELECTED from the reporter of the budget
OF the Ministry of War for the coming year a
note of warning showing that the annual con-
tingent of recruits for the French army, which
is now 10000. will in the year 1911 fall off 70
10000 and the subsequent yearly deficits OF
fighting men will become more and more ap-
parent. AS all able bodied Frenchmen must
serve with the colors as soon as they attain
their twentieth year Of age. it follows that the
curve indicating the number of available re-
cruts for any given year must conform to the
indicating the birth rate twenty years
previous. II is fair to assume that the total
number OF young men OF twenty years OF age.
which in the year 1879 was In round numbers
6000 corresponding 70 the births recorded In
1859. will continue in the same proportion. which
is 25 per cent-that is to say. the total number
of able bodied twenty-year-old recruits in
given future year will be one-fifth less than the
total number of male births twenty years pre-
vious Pursuing calculations on this basis the
reporter of the budget estimates that In
the year 1919 the annual contingent Will be only
about 10000. similar calculation applied In
Germany. where the birth rate is nearly double
that Of France, shows that the annual con-
tingent of lighting men twenty years hence Will
be twice great in France. This shrink
age in the supply of fighting men is regarded as
a vital factor In maintaining the equilibrium
between France and Germany, which Lieuten-
ant Colonel Picquart. in an exhaustive series OF
papers which he is publishing in the "Grande
Revue the magazine Of which Maftre
Labori is the editor. considers can longer
be maintained by direct means. owing 10 the
reservoirs of recruits. which are decreasing In
France and increasing in Germany but which
France must now seek for by a system Of alli-
ances different from those now existing.

bureaus of the immigration service In Wash-

larites reported to have been practised at Ellis

to his administration of the affairs Of the Treas

of squabbling and alleged scandal. In taking

After the examination finished Mr.. Jerome
raid he did not care 10 make public the names OF

would say about Murrsy's examination was that
Murray had testified that it was the rule OF his
bureau that not more than sixty-two pounds Of
dynamite might be kept in any one place along the
lines of the subway work. Mr.. Jerome said that
he would not discuss the other evidence given by
Murray, as he did not want TO embarrass the
situation He declared that he had been in
korImed by experts that there was no reason why
SO much as FIVE hundred pounds Of dynamite should
not be kept in any place under proper condi-
sions which included the handling of the dynamite
only by careful and experienced men.
