No such valuable youngster ever win

George w. Leavitt purchased him for

an offer OF si7500 for him. Not only Is
Todd a great individual with a wonder

but the troD. but his breeding is pretty
nearly ideal, II there is such thing.
His sire Bingen (2:06hD. was phenom-
email two-year-old and trotted an exhibi-
ton mile in 2:12ls at that age. With two
weeks more training all who watched
Blnpens performances during the season

that record was an the same stable, and

All this richness OF breeding and natural

was bred at Ponkapog farm, Milton, have
attracted attention TO him from all ovei

EAST PROVIDENCE.

The Goo Coos have at last kept their
compact with their allies. the Democrats,
by dismissing Chief of Police Adams, but
the deal Is to late for even those who
most desired the dismissal of Mr.. Adams
do not admire the manner I'm which the
trick was turned.
Had the Goo Goo council made Inc
change when they first went into ofnce
they would have raised the ire OF
but few citizens. for then sucn move
would have been looked upon as part OIL
the deal. and spoils OF victory.
The council dismissed at the outset one
of the best patrolmen on the force and
they could have included Mr.. Adams at
the time.
A few evenings ago they held meeting
giving as a reason 10 look over the town
reports. but the newspaper men or the
town learned that they were 10 meet Tor
the nurpose of cutting Off Mr. Adams
head and put at the head OF the depart
ment n man not capable.
The announcement made by the papers
at that time raised commotion and the
deal was declared off, after which the
only secret session, so far as the DOCKS
| Of the town show, ever held In the town
was held and IL is supposed that at tha'
time the deal OF saturday evening was
| consummated.
The first intimation the citizens had
| that a meeting WAS to be held SATURDAY
/ evening was through the columns or 'rht
/ News on Friday evening. and II was ther
| intimated that Mr.. ADAMS would be re-
/ moved.
| Mr.. Adams has been n member or th'
| department for nearly 25 years and ha'
| tho reputation of being honest and up
| right. and the only reason that the better
| and more conservative class OF cltizen
| ask a change for Is 10 nave a-younse
| man.
The end is not yet. for IL is probabl
that Adams will take the case 10 IN
| supreme court. for their are those VIZ
believe that Mr.. Adams cannot be re
moved until November, when hts tern
| ends.
| 1t looks as II this move was the down
! fau of the Coo Gooism in East Provi

GEN. CHAFfEe GOING TO SAMAR

Manila March 31.--Ruino, who spent
$50, 900 in his efforts 10 incite rebellion
I'm the province OF Msamis. island OF
Mindanao, now declares he Il tired OF
rebellion and has offered to surrender
with rs rifles TO the native eonstabulary.
General Chaffee will leave Manila April
10 on a tour OF inspection 10 the island
OF Samar. He will visit every port in
the island, and will witness the surren-
der there, April rs. OF the insurgent Gen.
cral Guevarra. After this surrender the
American garrisons I'm Samar will be
largely reduced.
The United States Philippine comms-
sion yesterday fixed the government rate
of exchange for silver for the second
quarter OF this year at $2.N Mexican
silver for 81 in gold.
The rate of exchange yesterday at the
banks was $2.23 Mexican for 81 in gold,
but the banks refused TO sell gold In large
quantities, not having sufficient coin TO
do So The banks have noti-
fed the quartermaster's department
that IL is impossible for them 10 cash
quartermasters' checks.
The scarcity of American gold Is at
tributed partly TO the banks and largely
TO Chinese spectators. who always buy
American gold at a quotation two points
higher than the bank.
This action Of the commission I'm maxi
! ing the government rate higher than the
| bank rate OF exchange has created much
| discomfort among importers. They are
| unable to obtain sufficient gold to pay
| import duties, and consequently must pay
these duties in silver at the government
| rate OF S2.21.
| The employees of the civil government
/ are elated at the new rate OF exchange,
| as IL means a considerable increase In
| their salaries.
| IL Is the intention of the commission
1 TO endeavor 10 retain the gold In the
archipelago. The bankers Of Manila say
| that the monetary situation in the Philip
| pines cannot be helped by government
| action. and that a region as important
commercially az the Philippine archipela-
go must affect the worlds markets.
