ST. LOUIS Worlds FAIR.
The Matter of Postponement Has
Not as Yet Been Def
nitely Settled.
GOVERNMENT MUST TAKE INITIATIVE.
The Executive Committee, mt st,
claring that Under the Act of
Congress the Exposition Will
Open and Close i'm the Year 1908.

St. Louis, Jan. 1S.-President Fran
els has not communicated with the
officers of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition Co. since Friday night,
when he announced that he had not
intended in interviews with him to
convey the impression that a post
ponement of the Worlds fair was
possible or was being considered by
the management.
"In my estimation" said Treasurer
William H. Thompson Saturday morn.
ng, Gov. Francis has already said
enough to show clearly that he is not
thinking of a postponement. We
don't need further information from
him.
"The resolution passed by the exc
cutiye committee, Friday night,
shows plainly where the Worlds fair
management stands. 1t says that, in
accordance with the act of congress
and the plans of the exposition COM
pany, the fair will open in 1909"
The executive committee met Fri
day afternoon, after the publication
of reports from Washington indicat-
ing a possible postponement of the
Worlds fair from 1908 to 1904, and
passed the following resolution:
Whereas, The public press has agi-
tated the question of postponement
of the Louisiana Purchase exposition.
Resolved, That under the act of
congress and under every plan of the
board of directors and executive com.
mittee, the exposition will open and
close in the year 1908.
All the members of the executive
committee were present except Pres
ident d. r. Francis and Nathan
Frank, and the vote by which the res.
olution was passed was unanimous.
Dispatches from Washington, re
ceived in st. Louis Saturday state
that President Francis says that his
remarks relative to the date of the
fair were misunderstood.
If a postponement is decided on
President Francis says, the initiative
must come from some branch of the
United States government or from
foreign governments.

DR.. PARKHURsT IMPATIENT,
Reform In the Municipal Government Of
New FORK Doesn't Materialize
Swiftly Enough.

New York, Jan. 20.-Rev. DR..
Charles H. Parkhurst yesterday gave
out a letter addressed to Mayor Low.
which had been adopted by the ex-
ecutive committee of the Society for
the Prevention of Crime, of which DR..
Parkhurst is president. The opening
paragraph reads:
although the Society for the Pre-
vention of Crime counts itself dis
tinctly an ally of the present NUM-
cipal administration, there are GER
tain principles of action to which we
uniformly adhere, and which we
deem it incumbent upon ourselves to
pursue and urge, even at the risk of
excepting to the policy of those
whom we would like in all respect to
second and support"
"In all II past activity as a So
ciety," says the letter, 1--WE have pro-
ceeded upon the distinct understands
ing that law exists for the purpose of
being obeyed."
The letter goes on to say that the
first two weeks of the present
regime have made it entirely indefi-
mite as to what civic righteousness
in this city is, and to that extent
have operated to put the reform adj
ministration in the same criminal at
titude toward law as was that occu-
pied by the administrations of '92,
'94, '97 and 1901"
1t deplores the fact that "while
chartered by the state to labor for
the prevention of crime" the society
is not quite certain any longer what
is crime" and says that "the atmos-
phere is clouded by ambiguity ema-
mating from administrative incerti-
tude," and that "the situation ia
morally intolerable."
The letter further says that "there
is not very much to choose between
a Tammany administration that has
bad principles and a reform admin
~istration that has good principles and
is afraid to use them."The latter, which
is signed by DR.. Parkhurst, concludes
by demanding of Mayor Low that
"you brace your administration into
accord with you OATH" and that he
summon the forces at his command
to the work of frankly and r~esolutely
suppressing open Or clandestine VIC
lations of recognized statutes"
This action which is entirely fol
the prevention of crime, is construed
as a breach between the reformers
and the reform administration.

LATE NEWS FROM MANILA.
The ituatio From a Military Point o.
v~isw-Civil Government Some
what Premature

Manila, Jan. 2O.-Gen. Chaffee, IN
the annual report which has just
been issued, sums>u the situation
from the military point of view by
saying that the provinces of Batan-
gas and Laguna, in southern Luzon.
and the islands of Samar, Mindorc
and Cebu, constitute the disturbed
area in which bodies Of insurgents
In force are to be found.
Gen. Chaffee says the prolongation
of guerilla warfareis due to the phys
pose as friends and act as enemies;
ical character of the country and to
the nature of warfare carried on by
the insurgents who, in the same hour
to the humanity displayed by the
American troops, of which the insur'
gents take advantage, and to the
fear of assassination on the part OF
those natives who are friendly dis.
posed toward the Americans, should
they give the latter information con-
corning the movements or where
abouts of the insurgents.
Municipal and provincial govern
ments are being organized. These
governments have not yet received a
practical trial. They constitute the
only certain and reliable method OF
ascertaining the progress of the Fill
pinos toward self-government.
According to the opinion OF army
officers, the disaster to Company U
Of the Ninth infantry at Balangiga,
Samar, when 4S men were killed, Is
attributed to the too great confidence
Of these men in territory which they
assumed to be pacifed.
In the same report Judge Advocate
Groesbeck says the suppression OF
brigandage will probably be one OF
the most trying problems of the fu.
ture. If the military arm be left
free to deal with the mauradersl
there is no doubt of their final sup
preston. But the presence of the
civil government complexities the sit.
uation considerably. With the civil
and military authorities working in
harmony, says Judge Grosbeck. no
evil results should be anticipated.
A report has been received here
that a dug-out canoe, in which II
men Of Company I, of the Second
infantry, were travelling, is missing
and is probably lost. 1t is believed
the men either persisted or were cap
tured.
Gen. Wade has cabled from Cebr
that 365 insurgents surrendered or
the island of Bohol last Friday. The
authorities here say that this state
ment is astonishing if accurate, as
the secret service had failed to learr
of the existence of any such body Of
insurgents of Bohol.
An important capture was made in
Laguna province, Luzon, when eight
men of the Eighth infantry captured
