worst ever known at that place. but to-day when
great devastation seemed most imminent the food
water found a channel through the ice on the York
County side, and began to pass of. The river is
still filled with ice from McCalls Ferry TO Safe

FAIR TRADE WITH PHILIPPINES.

San Francisco Jan. 2S.-Referring to the Phihp-
nine tariff in a speech before the Union League
Club prior to his departure for the East Governor
W. II. Taft said:
I know from reading your papers and taking taking
with some of your merchants that you are ANXIOUS
to have free trade between the Philippines ana
America In many respects that would be an ad-
mirable arrangement If il possible to run the
government of the Philippines without the incirect
taxation involved in levying customs duties IL
would crafty the commission very much II Con-
gress would take off altogether the tariff imposed
bv the Dngley bill All desire is to have money
enough o run a good government. My view is that
as soon trade is established and avenues opened
a small tariff will form very slight obstacle to the
course of business between the Philippines and
California.

COST OF RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Increased Appropriations Are Necessar.
to Meet Requirements.

Increased Appropriations Are necessary
to Meet Requirements.
Washington, Nov. 11.-The annual
gross cost of complete rural free deliv-
cry service throughout the United
States will approximate So, 900 900,
according to the annual report which
First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne received from August W..
Machen, general superintendent of tile
service. The remaining 700, 900 square
miles not now covered by rural free de-
livery service, according to the report,
will require the employment of $1,000
cr 27 900 carriers in addition to those
now employed. making the entire force
of carriers, when the extension of the
service is completed, within the next
three years, 10000. After this extern
sion is completed the annual rate of in
crease in the appropriation is expected
not to exceed or per cent, the rate
maintained in the other branches Of
the postal service. To extend the
service IL, 900 routes year until it be-
comes universal, the report says, will
require such largely increased appro-
priations that the annual postofice de-
fcits for the ensuing two or three years
will probably reach $s,000,000 OF
$40. 600, 900, if not more; but once the
service is completed, the additional
revenue derived will soon reduce the
deficits to present figures, if not en-.
| tirely wipe them out.

Washington, Nov. 12.-secretary
Hay today had conference with Sem
ator Cullom, chairman of the senate
committee on foreign relations. and
also with Senator Morgan, the senior
member of the minority of the senate

retary was able to show that substan-
tial progress is making towards the
completion of treaty with the Colon
bian government, conveying the neces-
sary rights for the construction of a
canal across the Isthmus of Panama.
In fact, SO we'll have the negotiations
progressed lately between Secretary
Hay and Senior Concha, the Colombian
minister, that it is now expected that
by the end of the present week all of
the phases of the proposition will have
been disclosed, and little will remain
to be done to conclude the convention.
1t can be stated that the attitude OF
the Colombian negotiations presents no
insurmountable obstacles, and that a
treaty can be framed acceptable to both
sides in strict conformity with the
spirit of the Spooner act.

RAILROADS AND MEN AGREE.
Increase of About IL Per Cent for Labor
at Switching Terminals.

Increase of About IL Per Cent for Labor
at Switching Terminals.
Chicago, Nov. IS. - The wage con-
troversy between the railroads and the
Brotherhood OF Railroad Trainmen,
which, for a time, threatened to tie up
all the principal switching terminals
in Chicago, was amicably adjusted to
night at a conference between the rail-
road managers and the officials OF the
Brotherhood. The settlement was
reached on the basis of compromise.
Seventeen of the railroads signed the
new agreement, and the Santa Fe, the
other road involved, will sign tomorrow
morning. The men will receive an in
crease of about II per cent. At to-
nights meeting the railroads submitted
a proposition offering an increase of 3
cents an hour to helpers and cents to
foremen. The proposition was ac-
cepted by the men. The rates agreed
upon are as follows:
Day foremen, 81 cents per hour
night foremen. 33 cents per hour; day
helpers, % cents per hour; night help
ers 80 cents per hour. These rates are
one-half per cent in excess of the st.
Paul Minneapolis rate for each class.
The effect of the new scale will be
iar-reaching. According to the officers
of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, the
rate will 60 into effect at all large GEN.
ters west of Chicago, where committees
are now in session awaiting the out
come of the Chicago trouble.
The Chicago scale goes into effect
November Is, and through the signed
agreements with the railroad managers
it cannot be modified without 80 days
notice

Greenshields, solicitor of the Marconi

less telegraphy across the ocean, but a
also land line across the continent
from Cape Breton to Victoria. Sta
tions will be erected at many points

press messages will be sent for one-half
the present price, and there will also
be a reduction of go per cent on COM
mercial messages. He says there is no
longer any doubt regarding the success
OF the Marconi system, and the official
announcement to this effect can be ex-

swIrcHmEN WON'T STAND IN.
They Will Not Strike, and Trainmen Are
To Be Given No Assistance.


To Be Given No Assistance.
Chicago, Nov. .13.-According to
statement made today by Grand Master
Hawley, of the Switchmen's union OF
North America, there will be no strike
of switchmen in Chicago. Officials OF
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
however, scout the idea that Mr.. Haw-
ley's organization figures in the situa-
tion, and say the switchmen who are
members of their organization are
strong enough to enforce demands
made by them upon the railroad COM
panies entering Chicago. 1t was
learned today that the Chicago Great
Western, the Chicago Terminal Trans
fer and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
railroads had entered into agreements
with the switchmen's union by which
that organization accepts the increase
of 2k cents an hour for switchmen and
81 cents an hour for foremen, which
has been offered by the railroad mana
gers. It was also learned that the Illi-
nois Central and Rock Island eompau-
les were negotiating with the SWITCH
mems union.
Grand master Hawley, of the switch
mems union, declared his organization
had membership of 1,70O in Chicago,
and asserted that the Brotherhood OF
Railway Trainmen could not call
strike of switchmen if they so desired.
He said his organization had secured an
increase of 10 per cent in the North
west, and that the scale would be re-
cognized by switchmen throughout the
country. He further declared that the
demands made by the brotherhood had
been prompted by jealousy and could
not be recognized.
