as yesterday. Thousands of strikers.
dressed in Sunday attire. lined the side
walks or promenated the roadways, but
there was no disorder.
An Official estimate based on reports Of
Individual unions. showed that 1875 men
had struck.
Until late yesterday the Brine Trans
portation Company. non-union, did prac-
tically all the teaming of the city. This
was because the master teamsters In
conference had decided to await Develop
ments. Today most of them personally
took out teams, doing manual labor with
aid OF foremen and clerks.
All the railroad companies reported traf-
fic moving to their satisfaction today. but
tonight the freight houses are blocked
with goods which gangs OF Italians
brought from many places by the New
York. New Haven and Hartford. and

unable to leave. All the coastwise steam

the growing scarcity of coal, but the
strike leaders did not stop coal supplies
to hospitals. newspapers and city insti-

The wholesale wool. cotton :, and dry
goods trade was at standstill.
Both the Boston and Maine road and

Engaged in Teaching Natives of At
RIGA How to Grow Cotton.

Berlin. March l3.-The negroes OF the
Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Insti-
tute who were engaged the latter part
Ct 1900 by the German government to
teach the natives of Togoland. German
West Africa. how to grow cotton. have,
according to the report Of the Colonial
Committee, succeeded in producing cotton
which classed above American middling.
The Tuskegee negroes have demonstrat-
ed that the land there is suitable for cot
ton. Of which there is great abundance.
The only obstacle to the commercial util-
ization of this product is transportation
and especially getting the bales to tn
coast. The Colonial Committee has sent
an expedition of engineers to survey for
a railroad from the coast town Of LONE
to Palime, in the interior.

PHILIPPINES HEARING,
David p. Barros Tells of His
|. Observations.

Washington, March 13-David p. Bar
ros was again before the Senate Com
mittee on the Philippines today and was
subjected to a series of interrogatories by
the members. In answer to a, question
by Mr.. Carmack, Mr.. Barros said that a
majority Of the adult Christianized ele-
ment in the Islands could read and write.
In the provinces he had visited, Mr.,
Barros said that the arabic land that
could be brought under rice and sugar
culture is very generally occupied and
claimed. His observation had been that
the Filipino is the only agricultural ele-
ment the Chinese not work much in the
sun.
He did not think that white men could
be induced to do the manual and planta-
tion labor of the islands. There was no
danger to be feared, he said. from the
Importation of Filipino labor to this
country.
Mr.. Barros said the investments that
will attract capital In the Philippines are
agricultural and not manufacturing. The
Fiiipinos, he said. are rapidly becoming
interested in what the government pro-
poses to do for them and are warmly in
favor of giving the Taft government a
trial.
Mr. Barros said he did not expect he
would live to see the day when the
Filipinos would be capable of self-govern-
ment.
The Filipino is not BORN he said, who
could control, to say nothing of governing
justly the Philippine Islands"
For the wild tribes Mr.. Barros said
there should be some sort of government
control to end their maurauding expedi-
lions. These tribes apparently are well
disposed towards the Americans and he
bx- i,,Ai ma and
kindnes their districts could be opened to
trade Mr. Barros said he had seen very
little evidence of cruelties by American
soldiers. In concluding his testimony Mr..
Barros spoke at length on the general
readiness of the Filipinos to cooperate
with ana their general confidence In the
intentions of the United States.

PLAN OF SHAW.
NAV Discontinue the Purchase OF
Bonds by Government

Washington. March 13.-Secretary Shaw
has under consideration the question or
disseminating the purchase of Govern
ment bonds for the sinking fund. The
Secretary has not definitely decided
what he will do, but 1t Is known that he
Ia doing nothing to encourage holders OF
bonds to dispose of them to the Govern
ment. and in fact rather discourages
sales. The present high prices Of bonds Is
an Involvement for banks to sell those
they have on deposit with the Govern
ment and reduce their circulation. and, a
few days ago. he announced that Such
banks as reduced their circulation would
not be appointed public repositories. The
fact that the Government Is in the mar
ket stimulates the price of bonds so that
the effect is just contrary to what Is de-
sired.

TIN the times Of our grandmothers
IL girl who was strong and healthy and
IL had good appetite was considered
coarse end unattractive. She did not take
exercise in the open air as her grand
daughters do, but tortured herself in tight
corsets and tight shoes and spent her time
in the house with her music or crocheting.
But the times have changed and the strong,
healthy, rosy-checked girl is the twentieth
century beauty. Her beauty is in health
which gives her a clear complexion, q
buoyant manner and happy and lovable
disposition. Although girls arc more ac-
tive and robust than they were centus

them today suffering female weakness be-

ordinary laws of health. They stay up late
at night and lose hours of needed rest.
Going to parties and returning home in the
chilly night air, insuficiently clothed, is
the cause of many cases of female ills
which finally result in other serious troubles.
