Without doubt the Allegheny,
Monongahela, Ohio and Kauawha
rivers have done more, ard In fact
are doing more at the present time,
for the prosperity Of he respective
valleys In which they flo y than for
many years past.
Rarely has navigation been more
continuous upon these streams than
| it has been In 1902 The coal
shipments which went out yester-
day were uneventful so steadily has
the trade by river been moving all
season. A good stage OF water has en-
abled the rivers to care for an enor-
nous volume business, which, If
necessity had forced upon the rail-
roads, would have added to the
freight congestion so much com =
planned of during the year. The
| first FIVE months of 1922 saw a
traffic on the Mononga--la alone OF
38AS,615 tons of coal bound south
All freight moved both ways on
the river in the five months
reached nearly 4.ooo,ooo tons, or
fully 20, 600 carloads mouth. This
includes all conceivable kinds OF
freight. coal and lumber being
prominent. The coal shipments
on the Monongahela amount to
about twice the coal traffic OF the
entire system of theChesapeake aud
Ohio railroad from the three dis.
tricts of New river, Kanawha and
Kentucky. That Is to say the rivers
relieve the railroads of about
twice the amount of traffic that
sustains one of the leading railroad
systems of the country.
Whatever the rains of 1902 may
have done for other industries, they
have been favorable to the shipper;
for, while most of the coal moved
by the river craft would merely de-
lay shipment until the tide became
propitious, the miscellaneous mer-
chandise haudled by water has ma
te1ially relieved the crowded corr
dition of the freight yards Of the
railroads, and thus helped COM
nerce m rnOve freely.

NOTES OF THE GAME.
Pastorious pitched a good game
and was always steady with men Oh
bases.
There was a poor attendance on
account of the RAIN, but there were
enough rooters TO make 1t interest
ing.
McGiuley as usual vas mixed 10
q double play. He I'd assisted ID
one or more double plays in each
game this season.
Both McGiunis and Cav " had
on their batting clothese cu get
ting three hits. Abrams also found
the bali getting two doubles.
King did not have chance al
middle Carr was compelled to dof
his cap In the fifth when he made
the sensational run and catch oi
Watsoa's fly.
Solly was unlucky. He hit the
ball each time he went to bat but
1t always landed In some felders
hands, but he made good by his
clever playing short.
Robinson at third put up an ele-
CANT game accepting SIX chances
without an error and making TWO
runs. He certaiHly Is speedy and

John Haggart Being Landed in tie
Clear as Marshal, the BismarcEx
POstOfIice Fight Now
Holds Attention.
Special to The G1obe.


BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. pa recent
political report to the effect that federal
officers in the state would hold over
until after the next senatorial election
for the choice of a successor to Sena-
tor Hansbrough does not seem to be
borne out by the facts. A number of
federal appointees have been named in
the past few weeks. Most important of
these was the appointment of John Hag-
gart as United States marchal probably
the best federal Office in the state. Sew
eral land office vacancies have also been
filed
From the political Affiliations of the ap-
pointees recently named, it would ap-
pear that there will not be any great
danger in the complexion of federal ap-
pointments generally through the state.
The postoffice at Bismarck seems to
be the star attraction, as the term of
the present incumbent expires near the
end of February, and there is general
| intrest in the reappointment. Some time
ago it was stated that the present hold
er of the Office, Mrs. Patterson wife of
the former mayor of Bismarck, would
hold until after next winter, at least.
1t is known that efforts are being made
by enemies of Patterson to have sue
| cessor named to her WREN her term ex-
pires in February. The outcome of the
matter will depend upon the congression-
al contingent at Washington. Congress
man Marshall has the recommendation
| of a successor and if the matter is held
| over, it will probably be through an
agreement between Marshall and the
| senators, McCumber and Hansbrough.

PHILIPPINE TARIFF BILL MUST BE
PUT THROUGH CONGRESS
QUICK
DEBATE WILL BE AVOIDED
If Republicans Can Manage the
Measure to That End, bat the
Democrats Will Insist on
EIucidatiOn
oUIETUDE PROMISED IN HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The senate
will devote it's principal attention this
week to the Philippine tariff bill. 1t is
the purpose of Senator Lodge, who is in
charge Of the bill, to keep it before the
senate persistently until it is disposed
of. He does not count on final action for
some time. 1t is not the present purpose
of the friends of the bill to debate it, but
the attacks which will be made on it and
upon the entire administration Of Philip
pine affairs inevitably will bring replies
from many of the Republican senators.
1t is understood that a majority of the
senators on the Democratic side of the
chamber win be heard before the bill is
passed. Among those who will speak
early are Senators Carmack, Money, Tel
Ter, Culberson, Turner, Patterson, Jones,
OF Arkansas, and Bacon.
Senator Lodge will seek the earliest op-
portunity to have the amendments recon-
mended by his committee formally adopt
ed, but probably will not press these
when senators are prepared to proceed
with set speeches.
Senator Nelson will take advantage of
every chance to have the bill creating a
department Of commerce considered, with
the hope of securing action upon it dur
Ing the week If possible.

SCHURMAN TELLS WHY
HE ADVOCATES INDEPENDENCE
FOR FILIPINOS.

ITHACA, N Y, Jan. 26.-President
Schurman today made statement ex-
planatory of his recent Boston speech,
in which he advocated the eventual in
dependence of the people of the Philip
pines. The substance of the speech was
that if the Christians Of Luzon and
Visaya wanted independence and showed
themselves capable of assuming it, this
country would eventually give it to them.
President Schurman said that he be-
lieved the policy he advocated would,
more than anything else, promote the
welfare of the Filipinos. President Roose-
Welt, he said, had declared in his mes
sage to congress that we were to do for
the Filipinos far more than any other
nation had ever done for tropical peo-
pie, and that we were to fit them for
elf-government after the manner Of re-
ally free races. He said he stood with
President Roosevelt in his policy, and
was against that advocated by Gen;
Wheaton, which would mean colonial
servitude like that of Java and India.

HOUSE POSSIBILITIES
Involve Only the OIeOmargarine and
Hill Bills.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-The house
leaders have made no programme for
the work of the present week, as there
are no measures of Importance pressing
for attention, although the anti-oleomar-
garine bill and the Hill bill for the OK
changeability of gold and silver are both
on the calendar, and may be taken up
before long. Thus far no exact time has
been fixed for either of these measures,
and the lesser bills will take their chances
as opportunity presents itself. There
promises to be considerable time to spare
during the week, as there are no appro-
priation bills ready to fill the gap when
bills of a general nature are lacking
The chief interest of the week centers
in the opening of hearings by the ways
and means committee on the reduction OF
war revenue taxes. The committee gives
tomorrow to this subject, hearing the
beer interest in the morning and the tea
interest in the afternoon.
On Tuesday the committee returns to
the subject of Cuban reciprocity, hearing
more of the representatives of beet sugar,
and also several Cuban planters, who
nave come to the United States to pre-
sent their view Of the case. One of the
members Of the committee, Representative
Long, Of Kansas, left for home yester-
day, to be gone a week, and this led to
an understanding among the Republican
members of the committee that no ac-
ton on Cuban reciprocity would be taken
for a week.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., Jan. 26-The
members of the West jury attended di-
vine service at the Methodist church this
morning, and listened to a good sermon
by Rev. w. P. MacVey. Prior to this
they had their pictures taken, the court
being deserted, and the photographer hav-
ing an excellent opportunity to work. In
the evening some of them again attended
church, bailiff accompanying them each
time.
Ordinarily they do not leave the court
yard, except to go to the hotel where thew
take their meals. This trip three times a
day affords them exercise, and, although
some OF them have now been confined a
week, their health is good, with the ex-
ception of E. o. Berg, of Northwood, who
is not feeling well, and who did not go
out yesterday. The sheriff has been in
structed by the court to buy magazines
and other reading matter for the Jurors.

will be strenuous effort to destroy the

DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 25-The an
nouncement of the final settlement of
the long drawn out national park ques-
tion by the Minnesota congressional dele
cation and the park advocates, by the
terms of which the Chippewa reserva-
tion will be thrown open to settlement,
with the exception of some 1900 acres
to be preserved for park purposes, gave
more satisfaction to Duluth and North
ern Minnesota people generally than any
news that has been received in a long
time. To the minds of the residents and
business men of this section it means
that great share of the 600, 900 acres
to be released will be settled up bv
thriving towns and industrious settlers.
Cass Lake and Walker will be especially
benefited owing to their location in the
midst of the land, but Duluth, as the
nearest distributing point expects to
receive a large share Of the trade from
the 10000 to 1900 new settlers that are
expected to flock in as soon as the reser-
walton is thrown open.
City politics are the all-absorbing topic
in Duluth at present and until the cam
paign ends next Tuesday. the interest
will continue to increase. The fight be-
tween Mayor Hugo and Henry Truelsen
for the mayoralty is of course the feat
ure. Both men are billed to speak from
two to a half dozen times each night
until election day and all the meetings
are unusually well attended. Mr.. Truel-
sen, the Democratic candidate, is rely
ing largely on his record as a corporation
In he
! mayors chair and is making a hand to
hand campaign. Mr. Hugo also points
to his record and asserts that the city
has been better administered for less
| money by him than by his predecessor,
his present opponent. There seem to be
no clearly defined issues. Both parties
are favoring municipal ownership of an
| electric lighting plant, reasonable en-
forcement of saloon laws and lower
taxes. The Anti-Saloon league has
| thrown it's influence on Hugo's side, how
ever, and he also has a considerable fol-
lowing of saloon men, although TruelSen
appears to have a majority of the latter.
The result is very much in doubt and
conservative guessers assert that the
winner will have less than 100 majority.
About $500 voters have registered and
80 per cent are expected to go to the
polls.
The Federated Trades council is among
| the latest opponents of the tax commits
sion's report here. The labor organiza-
ton objects to the cutting down Of the
personal property exemptions to $25
which laboring men claim is discrimina-
| ton against the poor man, who pays
more than his proportion of taxes as ii
! is. The general city committee appoint
ed by the mayor to investigate the tax
commissions report met again today.

to the taxing of grain in terminal ele-
vators and taxing Of boats as personal

JOHN HARE'S VIEW
IS THAT AMERICAN FOLKS ARE
NOT VERY BAD.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-The leaders of The
theatrical profession were the guests
of the o. P. club, Of London, at its an
nual dinner tonight. John Hare, the ac-
tor, in a speech, referred to the "Ameri-
can invasion and said he had pleasure
in heartily welcoming it and those bright
and quick-witted men and women who
gave fresh life to this somewhat tired
and blase old country" Mr.. Hare said
he thought something was also owing to
the American theatrical manager, and
that he was glad to take this opportunity
of denyi lg that English actors and ac-
tresses returned from America with their
finesse dulled and their methods coars-
ened.
