A Trophy Deal.

. Trophy Deal.
The deal which T h Ell ournal presents
this week occurred during a recent trophy:
contest, which was played in this city, and
was quito expensive to the visiting team.
The deal Is published to illustrate the danger
in playing "coups.'' One can seldom tell
what the result may be when play of this
kind is once started. The play in question
occurs at trick 8 and is commonly known
among whist players as the Bath Coup
This play is probably the best known, and
also the most abused of the many coups
known to the whist world, owing, probably
to it's simplicity. -
The coup, as originally played, was the re-
fusal of the fourth hand, when holding ace,
jack and one more small cards of the
suit, to win the king when led from appa
rent strength. This same play now, however,
without regard to position, is commonly (but
not correctly called the Both Coup. 1t is
play that will seldom win any great advan
tage. and at least oEe-half the time will be.

of the people could write their own lam
guage. One great difficulty encountered
is the fact that the people of the distant
provinces do not understand the language
of any other.
Governor Taft said that Spanish is the
only language that is common throughout
the archipelago, and that this was the
only instrument Of communication with
outside thought. This condition of af-
fairs had led him recently to vote for
the continuance of Spanish as the official
language of the islands. for if English
should now be constituted the official Ian
guage it would be impossible to conduct
business without the aid of interpreters.
AT this point Senator Patterson asked
Governor Taft whether the Filipino OF
average intelligence is capable of dis
ting71isflinG between an independent GOV
eminent for his country and g, benevolent
and paternal form OF government sucn
as the United States would give?
Governor Taft said he was.
do you depend on their ignorance =
Mr.. Patterson asked, to mako them

The response was an emphatic no.
"Our hope said Governor Taft, is IN
the educated classes.
Replying to questions, Governor Taft
said that three of the members OF the
Federal party We're associated in the
government of the islands, but the Gov
eminent was in no way responsible for
the promises of statehood made by that
party in its platform. Enlarging upon
this subject Governor Taft said that it
comprised probably a majority Of the
educated people OF the archipelago.

WASHINGTON. D. G.. Feb. General
Chaffee has cabled TO the War Depart
ment a report of the march of Major
Waller and his marines across Samar.
1t is the first full account OF the march,
and tells a tale of terrible suffering and
hardship. The story of the suffering is
told in the following dispatch:
THE War Department is advised of tha
trip of Major Waller, four officers and
fifty men of the Marine Corps and thirty
six native bearers with four days ratious.
who started the last week of December
from Lanang. on the east coast of Samar.
to cross the island of Basey. about thirty
five miles on the map. Trail at one time
existed, but was found in places only.
Lieutenant LyleS, Twelfth Infantry. ac-
companied the command. Incessant raina
from the STRAIT, swollen streams and other
natural obstacles mace progress extremes
ly slow. When the rations were con-
Sumed, the men exhausted rapidly, drors
ping on the way. Major Waller separated
from Captain Porter, Lieutenant f. z.
Williams and the major part of the men
and proceeded toward Basey, where he
arrived January 9th with two officers and
thirteen men: also Lieutenant Lyles. EIs
returned to the mountains next day with
relief. but returned to Basey about ten
days later unsuccessful. Porter was to
build RATS. but timber would not float.
On the second day after separating from
Waller, Porter moved toward Lanang.
arriving January 18th with two men and
all exhausted physically and mentally.
Lieutenant r. p. Williams and over
thirty men were left in mountains in SIM
liar condition, with native bearers.

leading his wife out. She had a lot of
clothing in a sheet and stopped in the

IN the wardrobe and would go back after
it. Blame the jacket said the gentle

fires. fighting each way in width less
than that of Main Street here. So IN
tense was the heat about them that
every now and then they would turn the
hose straight UP in the air so that the
water would fall back on them to cool
them. I saved my empty grip, leaving
everything else behind me and locking the
door.
IF the wind had not changed when II
did the whole of Main street would have
burned down to the Northwestern Depot
The fact that the firemen were not IN
iured is strange, too, but all the walls OF
the burned buildings fell inside-nothlne

.E;ghty-iive miners killed and fifty more

At the time the explosion occurred there

are the most important in that State.
