Insular Possessions.

Considerable space is devoted to the
conditions in the insular possessions
and in Cuba. The recommendation is
made that the tariff upon articles i'm
ported from the Philippines be reduc
ed to % per cent of the Dingley rates,
and that the civil government in the
islands be permitted to adopt the
gold standard in monetary matters.
Several reasons are given in support
of both recommendations and Incl
dentally the conditions that prevail
in the islands are shown up in a rath
er unfavorable light.
For instance, reference is made to
the fact that not over one-fourth of
year and that the government has
been compelled to purchase and inn
port for free distribution 100000
pounds of this staple to prevent a
wholesale famine. The rinderpest has
killed 90 per cent of the carabos and
a disease known as 'surra' is rapidly
taking off the native and imported
horses, rendering prices for the ami
mails abnormally high and transpor-
tatiOn correspondingly expensive. y
pest of locusts mas also been expert
enced during the past season. The
number of Americans who went into
the islands as immigrants during the
year was 15.312.

YEAR WITH THE ARMY
Secretary Root Details Opera
tons of His Department
for 1902.
MANUFACTURE OF SMALL ARMS
But 100000 Recommended for
-lI Upper Mississippi River
Improvements.

The annual report of the secretary
of war was made public today. 1t is
devoted to general resume of the
operations of the army during 1902
with some reference to proposed
changes and a chapter upon manu-
features. Under the latter head local
interest centers in the references
made to Rock Island arsenal, especi-
ally in view of the recent visit here
of Mr.. Root.
In this respect the report is disap-
pointing, for Rock Island arsenal is
mentioned but once and then in con-
nection with the Springfield armory,
the capacity of both when in running
order being stated at $50 arms per
day under ordinary circumstances
and at 100 per day in cases of emer-
gency.
The main military events of the
year are given as the the end of the
military occupation of Cuba and the
end of the insurrection in the Phil
ippines. Some of the other features
of the report are of particular inter
est. For instance, it may not be gen
orally known that the United States
still has soldiers in China, nor that
there are more than twice as many
soldiers on duty in the United States
as there are now in the Philippines.
The distribution of the army Oct. Is,
1902, was as follows: United States,
4s,5O7; Philippines, 22,433; China, 13S.
Under the law passed providing for
reduction of the army there will be
left in the Philippines 1880, the to-
tai number in the service being So

Return of Army Canteen

y chapter is devoted to the army
canteen and an unqualified recon-
mendatiOn is made for its reestablish-
ment at the military posts under the
same conditions as formerly. The
secretary states that sufficient time
has elapsed since it was abolished to
make a thorough test of the matter
and that the past year has served to
confirm him in the opinion that he
held at the time of his Jast annual re-
port, when he refrained from making
a recommendation. The argument in
favor of the canteen is that it serves
to keep the men in the post and pre-
vents them from mingling with vic
iouS outside associates, thereby pro-
noting temperance and regularity.
The item of artificial limbs and APP
pliances in the table of expenses for
the present year and estimates for
the future is interesting. The appro-
priation for this year under this item.
was $4,000, about treble what it was
last year and more than double the
estimate for another year. The ia
bles also indicate that the appropria-
ton for the Improvement of the up
per Mississippi river is likely to be
even less another year than it was
for the present year, if the recon-
mendations are acted upon. For the
year ending June 30, 1903, the amount
set aside for the purpose was s., 200,-
900. The recommendations for ap-
preparations for the year ending June
80. 1904, are but $2,000,0OO.

another Pipe Sent Out by Enter
prising bloomington Cor
respondent.

President NJ. II. Sexton left this
morning for Joliet to investigate con
ditions i'm that city with a view of
considering its application for berth
in the Three-I league.
Mr.. Sexton has heard nothing from
Springfield with reference to Il re-
ported decision on the part of the
baseball supporters of that city to
withdraw their application for a
franchise and is of the opinion that
no such action has been taken.
False Report Sent Out.
1t appears to be on par with Il re
port emanating from Bloomington
that found its way into Il Chicago pa
per to the effect that President Sex
ton is having n hard time to find
someone to take the franchises left
By Terre Haute and Evansville.
Anyone who is really in touch with
the situation knows better than that.

for this reason they are driven into
the house at night. and kept shut IN
till several hours after sunrise, TO

should be cleaned and the litter put

ducks do not clean the houses all win

their eggs are always covered with
dirt.
For old OF laying ducks. mix by
measure one-half corn meal. one
fourth wheat bran. the rest green
food, cooked vegetables and meat
scraps. Mix into this some coarse
sand. and mix all into a dry mash food
with water. The green food should
be cut up into short pieces; green rye,
oats or clover is good for this. When
the ducks are not laying. feed light;
when laying, feed strong two or three
times day; III they grow nat. feed
less corn meal and meat aud more
bran. Always feed the ducks in
troughs OF boxes. They should have
plenty Of grit and oyster shell. The
sand that is mixed in their food is
good for digestion or grinding, but

at all. At the same time, ducks that

On RELIGIOUS TOPICS.
Montreal star.

What has often surprised the Chi
nese and other Easterns Is that the
Western world should profess a re-
ligion which Is the absolute negation OF
their whole tone OF mind and manner
OF life. They glorify force; their re-
llgion tells them not to glorify force.
They make the gaining OF wealth their
principal and absorbing pursuit; their
religion tells them that the love Of
money Is the root Of all evil. and that
the rich man has the scantiest posi-
BILE chance OF entering the kingdom OF
heaven. Goethe has said that mans
philosophy Is often the supplement Of
his character; in other words. all that
he cannot put into his life he puts into
his philosophy. Something OF the same
kind would seem to be true OF the West
ern nations ana their religion. The sum
OF the matter seems 10 be that, where
We thought we had everything 10 teach
and nothing to learn, We find that We
have much TO learn-perhaps quite as
much as we have to teach.
