HOUSE BILL
FOR ISLANDS

Washington, April 9.-The house
bill establishing civil government in
the Philippines was perfected yester-
day by the republican members of the
insular committee and in it's complete
form was re-introduced by Chairman
Cooper. There is little doubt it will
be reported to the house probably to-
morrow. 1t is unlike the senate bill
in that it provides a complete form Of
civil government for the islands, to
go into effect when the war termi-
mates.
1t provides that legislative power
shall then be vested in two houses
the Philippine commission and assem-
bly,. The census will be taken within
thirty days after the promulgation Of
peace. Thereafter the islands will be
divided into election districts, and
the regular machinery for electing a
legislature is provided. All residents
of the Philippines shall have the
same protection from the United
States in their relations to foreign
governments as is accorded citizens Of
the United States.

WARM RECEPTION GIVEN HIM
AT CHARLESTON.
NOTABLE BANQUET HELD
President Creates Great Enthusiasm
by Reference to Reunion of North
and South-PIeads for Justice and
Reciprocity to Cuba-Other Speak
ers on Program.

Charleston, S. c., April 9.-The ban
quet rendered President Roosevelt last
night was a fitting close to a day full
of incidents and served to gather men
prominent in affairs of the state.
Over 800 guests were present
Mayor Smythe welcomed the presi-
dent to Charleston in speech inter
rupted by loud and continued ap-
plause. President Roosevelt said in
part:
81 should indeed be but a poor
American myself if / were not deeply
touched and gratified by the way you
have greeted me today, in this, your
beautiful city; and of course, feel at
home here (applause). | think that
any American who is worth his salt
has the right to feel at home in every
part of the United States. (applause).
around this table l see many who
took part in the great war The war
in which the younger among us here
took part was a very little one, be-
cause it did not have to be any big
ger (applause), but it had one thor
oughly good effect, it put a cap on
the structure that had been building
while we were almost unconscious of
it, and it taught us how thoroughly
at one we were. When we got
through that war it did not make a
bit of difference to us whether it was
an admiral who came from Vermont
or a lieutenant from Alabama Cap
plause) The debt that we owed him
had little to do with the section from
which he came (applause)"
The president spoke warmly of the
people of South Carolina and Charles
ton, paying special tribute to former
Governor Thompson. He reviewed
the growth and prosperity of the
state referred to the exposition and
commended the action of the author
tiles in including the islands south
of the United States in invitations to
take part in the fair. He predicted
a bright future for these islands
Speaking of Cuba he said:
'T ask that in our trade relations
with Cuba we give her marked and
substantial advantages, not merely
because it will rebound to our interest
to do so, but I ask it especially be
cause events have SO shaped them
selves that it is our duty as great
and mighty nation to "elp Cuba and
hope to see us do our duty (cheers).
Governor insolvency, Captain Wag-
ener, Governor Atcock of North Car
Dina and others made short adj
dresses. 1t was midnight when the
party broke up and as the president
left the room he was cheered to the
echo.

Under Consideration.

Pi edestination and Election of Infants
Under Consideration.
Washington, April 10.-1he Pres
byterian creed revision committee &C
ccmplished considerable work yester-
day. AS a result of the work already
done, Overtures will be submitted to
the general assembly which meets
In New York in May for action on the
declaratory statement relating to pre-
destination and the election of infants.
The object is to remove misunder-
standings on these points by declaring
the confession is not to be understood
as teaching that children who die in
infancy are lost; also the confession
is not to be understood as teaching
that the provisions of the gospel and
offer made by it to be limited to a
certain number-that Christ died for
all men; nor is it to be understood as
il any way interfering with human
liberty and with the freedom of men.
The overture will be sent to the gen
eral assembly, dropping from the text
o. the confession chapters relating to
the pope of Rome and that it is sin
in another to refuse an oath when az
by rightful authority.

GOVERNOR TO
REVISIT SPRINGS

Milwaukee, April Gov. La Fol
lette expects to remain in the city
until Friday, when it is understood he
will go to French Lick springs in In
diana for a rest and to recuperate
preparatory for the fall campaign. II
is said that a number of political
friends will meet him there from var
ious parts of the state and the plans
for the state and the plans for the
state campaign VIII all be mapped out
and will be all ready made when he
comes home. 1t is reported that
Isaac Stephenson will go among
others.
There was private conference last
evening at the Plankinton house be-
tween Gov. La Toilette and number
of his most intimate friends, who are
to plan the coming campaign in the
city and county of Milwaukee in his
interests. The governors old law
partner, Gilbert E. Roe, now of New
York, is here to assist at the confer
ence with advice and counsel. The
governor refuses to talk politics out in
the open. He not only feels confident
that ne will be elected, but that there
will be a legislature chosen which will
enact the ideas for which he has so
prominently stood for years back into
law.

Washington, April 8.-The United
States supreme court yesterday re-
fused to grant a motion recently
made to dismiss the case of Admiral
Sampson in which he seeks to re-
cover the prize money for, the guns
and armament in the Spanish vessel
Maria Teresa, in connection with her
capture off Santiago.
Chief Justice Fuller delivered an
opinion declining to consider the case
Of the Michigan Sugar company VS..
Roscoe D. Dix, auditor general of the
state of Michigan, on the ground that
no federal question was involved
The case was an effort to secure a
bounty on the beet sugar offered by
the state under the state laws of 1897
and 1898, which the state supreme
court held to be unconstitutional.
Yesterdays opinion practically affirms
the state courts opinion.

large numbers and the malady is
thought to be hog cholera. The heav-

carcasses burned. The stencil result
ing from the operation was such as
to cause uncomplimentary comment
for miles around.

INDEPENDENT MANUFACTURERS.

Since June 1. 1901, there have been
incorporated forty-three iron and steel
companies with a capitalization of ST.
100000, or more, the combined capital
Of these companies being over $406,0O0,-
600. This strikingly shows the growth
of independent iron and steel enter
prises not under the shelter of the
trust, but competing with it in the open
market. Another competitor Of the United
States steel corporation has just been
formed with a capital Of $4,000, 900.
1t is clear, therefore, that there is no
monopoly in the manufacture Of iron
and steel.
The independent companies will rein
force the demand for maintaining
the protective policy without which
they would not have been started.
There is at present ample opportunity
for them, the demand for iron and
steel being still heavy, with every
prospect of continuing indefinitely. The
mills generally are far behind orders
and the industry as a whole was never.
more prosperous than now. 1t is being
conducted, too, on a sound and cOnserv-
alive basis, for which unquestionably
the so-called trust merits some credit.
That great corporation has certainly
brought about a notable change in the
industry, particularly as to its policy
of keeping prices stable. Formerly iron
and steel prices fluctuated widely and
the industry was the most uncertain
of all manufacturing enterprises and a
menace to all other industries when
ever it became prosperous. An active
demand for iron and steel in the past
would cause an advance in prices often
SO excessive as to bring about a reac-
ton. This sort of thing has not occurred
since the organization of the United
States Steel corporation. The New York
Commercial points out that while there
has been an unparalleled demand for
iron and seel, necessitating their impor-
tatiOn on a large scale. yet there has
been no advance in prices and future
contracts continue to b. made at the
same prices, Notwithstanding the fact
that higher prices could be secured il
demanded. That paper reasonably con-
cludes that this policy has undoubt-
eddy caused the prosperity Of the steel
and iron industry TO continue longer
than 1t otherwise would have done and
that If it shall be maintained the entire
industry will not only De placed upon
a sounder and more stable basis, but
a menace to the general prosperity Of
the entire country viii have been re-
moved.
What effect the increasing compe-
titiOn in this industry may have
upon prices is problematicaL 1t

TRYING TO KING cAEUTE.

King Canute once upon a time or
dered the ocean tidal wave to stand still,
but it would not. The Lincoln Journal is
very much alarmed over the projected
suburban electric trolley lines, whose
promoters are suspected to have MERGE
nary designs on the merchants of FIRE.
mont and Plattsmouth under pretext
that they want to afford improved tray
cling facilities for commercial and social
intercourse with the Nebraska metropo-
intelligent business men in the commu
mites Affected are not likely to be seri-
Ously frightened by the prediction that
their towns would be d~epopulated and
their business absorbed by Omaha.
Experience with suburban trolley lines
has demonstrated hat the benefits de-
rived therefrom are reciprocal. Instead
of being depOpulated the towns and viii
of Cleveland, Detroit, indianapolis, Toll
edo. Minneapolis, st. Paul, st. Louis and
Kansas City have all proited by The i'm
proved facilities of travel and traffic.
Their growth has kept pace with the ex-
pansion of the larger cities.
Thousands Of wage workers of both
sexes employed in the mills and factories
and business houses of the large cities
have established homes in the suburban
towns and villages because they can
subsist there more comfortably and
cheaper than they can in the larger
cities, and thousands Of men who have
business concerns and offices in the large
cities have built residences along the
trolley radius, over which they travel
morning and evening between their bus
mess establishments and their homes.
All Of these people, doubtless, do some
shopping in the large city, but they are
compelled in the very nature of things
to patronize the butcher, the druggist
and the general grocer of the respective
towns and villages nearer to their
homes. 1t would be just as rational for
people to oppose trolley lines in these
days as it would have been to oppose
the intrusion Of the railroad as a substl-
tute for the stage coach.
The railroads, doubtless, have diverted
some trade from retail merchants at
Fremont, Plattsmouth, Ashland and
even Lincoln and Beatrice to Omaha,
but We doubt very much whether the
merchants of those towns could increase
their trade If it were possible to fence
out the railroads and give them a mo-
nopoly of all OF the trade obtainable
from the population within a i've or ten
