DEFEAT OF TIE PRESIDENT.

Vaccinations of sugar Trust
Republicans.

The defeat Of the Cuba reci-
procity legislation i a great blow
TO the administration OF President
Roosevelt. His attempt 10 coerce
congress 10 do his bidding. which he
emphasized in two messages to that
body. has been spurned by a large
faction Of the republican party in
the interest Of the beet sugar trust

gress II action is not taken at the
present one. The members of the
beet sugar faction in the house of
representatives joining with the
democrats. have passed the bill
reducing the 20 per cent. on Cuban
products, with another section added
which was insisted on by the demo-
Gratis. repeating the ditferential
duty On refined sugar. The repub-
lican members Of the senate found
themselves in the same dilemma as
the members Of their party in the
house Of representatives. They were
compelled 70 take the bill as it came
from the house. with the democratic
antitrust section. or take the re-
sponsibilitY of no legislation.
The democratic position is unique.
The members of that party voted in
the house and We're ready TO vote in

HOW FILIPINOS ARE TAUGHT.
The Administration's Boast of Edu-
cationsI Progress Punctured by
Ocular Evidence.

The special correspondent in the
Philippines of the Washington Even
ing Star. in a letter dated Gilman,
Samar, April -. 1902, brings out two
highly instructive points concerning
American teachers in those islands
and their relation to the natives and
the army. The administration has
been tickling Us with the idea Of the
vast progress the natives were max
ing in their studies. but from the
testimony given below. il must be
concluded that these teachers. a. a
class. are useless. expensive and mis-
ehievouS. He says:
Il would advise overwarked teach
ers in the States to get an appoint
ment over here. where the work is

press reports from London state.
Much comment, humorous as we'll
indignant, has been evoked from
many Americans here by the fact that
the so-called American flags at Brooke
house are grossly incorrect in compo-
sition. The flag shows ten stripes and
p stars! Americans are inclined 10
regard with some amazement the an
parent ignorance of Mr.. Choate and
MI Reid as to the proper composition
OF the emblems of the country thev

prospect of the United States becom-

trust, they compel IT the same time
the repeal Of the ditTercntial duty.
under which the TRUST is allowed to
collect about $4,000 900 additional
tax from the American consumer,
and II the countervaiIing duties are
added. that sum can be multiplied
fourfold. This legislation if enact
ed. would probably aid the Cuban
planter somewhat and would reduce
the price Of refined sugar in the
United States by as much. or more,
as the sugar trust would gain on the
20 per cent. decrease of duty il would
pay on imported raw sugar from Cuba.
This double reduction did not suit
the sugar trust, nor did it suit its al
lies, the administration senator's.
If President Roosevelt had really
wanted 10 aid the Cubans and strike
a blow at one of the great trust mo-
nopolies. why did he not recommend
the reduction of the tariff on refined
sugar equal To the advantage the
sugar trust would gain by the 20
per cent reduction on Cuban raw
sugar?
Havemeyer would not. Of course.
under these circumstances. give
large check to the republican cam
paign fund, but the consumer of
sugar in the United States would he
benefited, even if the collector for
the campaign fund had to hunt from
other trust quarters the necessary
cash to make up the deficiency.

 O9 the second day after our arrival at Taos, Carson visited at our camp all day. He appeared to feel that h. had met old friends, as some of the party knew some of the people he knew.

We are coming. we are coming, fully seventy millions strong. And we'll make the mountains echo

 gather in our might, And unfurl before ages the banner of

 where thou stardeth at our head, Through crooked ways and sinuous
 paths no crafty skill hath led, But thy commission bears the seal of
