The GoSpei of Labor.

But ! think the King of that country
comes out from his tireless host
And walks in the world of the weary, as
if he loved it the most:
And here is the dusty confusion, with
eyes that are heavy and dim,
He meets again the laboring men who
are looking and longing for Him.
He cancels the curse of Eden, and brings
them a blessing instead
Blessed are they that labor, for Jesus
partakes of their bread.
He puts His hand to their burdens, He
enters their homes at night;
Who does the best shall have as a guest
the Master of life and of light
And courage will come with his presence.
and patience return at His touch
And manifold sins be forgiven to th1se.
who love Him much;
And the cries of envy and anger will
change in the songs of cheer
For the toiling age will forget its rage
when the Prince of Peace dr.; US
near.
This is the gospel of labor-ring it We bells
of the kirk
The Lord of Love came down from above,
to live with the men who work
This is the rose that He planted, here in
the thorn-cursed soil
Heaven is bleSt with perfect rest but tne
blessing of Earth is toll.

UNDER CIVIL CONTROL
FUTURE GOVERNMENT OF THE
PHILIPPINES.
Gen. Chaffee's Functions as Military
Governor to Terminate July a.
Moros' Tribal Relations.

1t is stated at the War Department that
the entire Philippine archipelago will be
placed under control of the civil authorl-
ties as represented by the civil governor
and the Philippine commission on the 4th
of July, and that General Chaffee's func-
tions military governor of the provinces
now under military control will terminate
on that date. General Chaffee will, how
ever remain in command of the military
division of the Philippines and will assist
the civil authorities in the preservation of
peace and good order whenever called upon
to do so.
The effect of this plan will be the COM
plete establishment of civil government
throughout the entire Philippine archipel-
ago on American independence day. The
military will be everywhere subordinate to
the civil authorities just as it is in the
United States As one of the officials put
it.. General Chaffee's functions in command
of the troops in the Philippines will be
Just the same the functions of General
Brooke commanding the department of the
east in the United States, that is, the troops
will be employed to enforce the mandates
of the civil government only when the con-
stabuary and the other civil forces are un-
able to cope with the situation
1t was further stated that the MorOs will
be allowed to continue their tribal relations
for the time being, and will be governed
under practically the same conditions as
the American Indians, until it is demon
strated that civil government may be ad
vantageously established throughout the
province of Mindanao.
In accordance with the present policy of
the administration, troops will continue to
be withdrawn from the Philippines until
General Chaffee's force has been reduced
to $4,000 men, which is now considered suf
ficient to meet all the requirements of the
situation.

PRACTICALLY AGREED.
conferees on Philippine Bill May Re-
port This Afternoon.

The conferees Of the two houses of Con-
gress on the Philippine civil government
bill have practically reached an agreement
They probably will present their report to
the Senate during the afternoon. The un-
derstanding provides for the elimination of
the coinage question from the bill. thus
postponing that question to another session
for independent action
Private Secretary to Secretary Moody
Mr.. Fred L. Fishback, who has been
serving as confidential secretary to Secre-
tary Moody since the latter's appointment
was today appointed private secretary at
500 a year. He succeeds Mr.. Cyrus c
Wells, who was appointed private secretary
to ex-Secretary Long to succeed Mr.. Finney,
deceased. Mr.. Wells resigned to accent a
position with the City National Bank of
New York. Mr.. Henry c. Gauss, who has
been serving as assistant enrolling clerk of
the House of Representatives, has been ap-
pointed confidential stenographer to Secre-
tary Moody at salary of 81 500 a year.
The Senate conferees held out for their
silver standard provision, and the House
men were just as firm in their contention
for a gold standard The democratic mem
bers of the conference We're not present at
the forenoon session, but it is not believed
that they will make any effort to change
the agreement.
Many of the provisions of the two bills
concerning currency, however are retained
including the Senate regulation for subsid,
larry coinage. There is, however, no effort
in the present agreement to fix the money
standard. That is left for the future.
The House provision for legislative as
sembly is amended so as to require that its
establishment shall be preceded by CEN
sus Two years after this census the Presi-
dent is authorized to direct, through the
Philippine commission, the election of a
legislature if. in his opinion, the conditions
justify such a course.
The House provision for the sale of the
Philippine public lands was accepted but
2,5OO acres is the largest area to be dis
posed of to any one person or combination.
