TITLES WE'RE TRANSFERRED.

Following the course thus proposed by
his eminence aud having secured full
and definite enumeration OF the various
parcels Of property In which religious or
ders are Interested aud which they are
willing to sell, 1T viii be the duty of the
Philippines government to determine for
Itself what price II Is willing TO pay. That
price will be largely affected by the prac-
teal benefits TO be derived from the pur.
chase. This course makes II possible to
take Into due consideration the fact which
now appears that contrary to our former
superstition the real and substantial title
10 the lands IN a great measure has passed
ont Of the religious orders and Is vested
IN corporations which they can not entirely
control and which hold the lands for the
purpose OF lawful gain and are alone com
petent TO sell them, The whole matter may
thus be disposed Of by friendly agreement,
Ia conformity 10 the ordinary methods
pursued in business AFFAIRS. In the same
manner ] Will direct the general command
ing Ia the Philippines to ascertain by the
customary methods what buildings belong
ing to the church have been occupied by
american troops and for what prrposeS
what damage has been done and In each
case what reasons exist for denying an
obligation TO pay rentals and damages and
i shall hope that the conclusion thus
reached VIII be satisfactory 10 the church
While II Is TO be regretted that the au-
thorities having control OF the religious
orders do not see their way clear TO max.
definite agreement for the withdrawal
from Manila of the friars, yet Il is hoped
that pending the settlement OF these Varl-
ohs matters they will reach the conclusion
that IL is Wise to do the same thing or
their own motion and irrespective Of any
agreement TO the eject.

necure a general increase in the wages
paid to this class Of railway employees.
The requests for more pay viii come
before the freight and passenger Of
ficials OF the road. and the head of
this department Is Second Vice Pres
ident Paul Horton. AS yet The plans
have not taken definite fom. and .tr is
very difficult to ascertain just how
far the movement has spread Or how
strong the organization OF railway
clerks is.
Railway clerks are In a pecriiar po-
sition with relation 10 the railway
which employees them. Il is from the
ranks Of the clerks that mos. of the
officials Of the road are recruited, and
as there is no definite line between
the $50 a month clerks. the $500 a
month clerks and the Officials them
selves, It is very difficult for con
certed movement for a wage increase
TO be made Il is this peculisr lo.di-
