 Than Soldiers Do.
 San Francisco, Jan 22.-Regarding a standing army in the Philippines, Gov ernor Taft is reported by the Call to have said: Fifteen thousand men will be an ample force in the islands before the close of the year. I was told this only a few days before l came away. Officers thoroughly yersed in the situation gave me the figures.
 Il will explain to you how peace can be maintained in the islands. We have organized a native conStabulary, which is working effectively. Congress al lows us to maintain q conStabulary of 5000 men. They are under the com mand of Major Allen. who has already enlisted 2,500 men in this branch of the service. When the force is fully organized the men will be distributed in the provinces, 150 men to each province. The detachments of con stables are commanded by four off, cers, three of whom are retired vol unteer officers and the other a native Filipino. When the conStabulary is fully equipped it will be detailed in the field to clean out the Ladrones. who are intimidating the natives. These Filipino constables can be main- ta1ned by the government at a cost of S250 year, while the soldiers in the islands cost Uncle Sam about S1.- GOO a head
 know that the Pacific coast people would like to see free trade instituted between this country and the islands,, sald the governor. 'EBut I am sorry to say that l cannot see how it would work.
 The civil government adopted tarin schedule which is working well, out our internal revenue receipts are not large. When you tax country too heavily you spoil it, and that is the situation in the Philippines
 we nave asked that the Dingley taflI De reduced for the products of the islands at least 90 per cent. We hope that congress will be as generous 10 the Philippines as it was to Porto 1 Rico The reduction of the Dinglev l taflH Will mean the opening LID of a | large market for tobacco and sugar of | the islands, as we'll as for other pro- | ducts there. Hemp you need and arc buying in larger quantities every day. By so reducing the Dingley tariff 2 good market for the Pacific coast will be opened up.''
 Governor Taft said there had been no serious clash with the military au- and declared that the best of good feeling existed between himself and General Chaffee. rms evening Governor Taft will be the guest of honor at a reception to 'e rendered him by the Union league ;lup, in which the chamber of com neree board of trade and other organ zations will join. r

BRIGANDs ARE. CAUTIOUS.
Will Not Give Up Miss Stone Until
 Everything is Arranged.

Constantinople, Jan 22.-It is under stood that the American negotiators for the release of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone and her companion, Madame Tsilka to whom the money subscribed for the ransom was sent, may have to en- trust the fund to the brigands for some days before the latter release the captiyes, in accordance with the pre- cedent adopted in previous cases of brlgandage. The bandits are said to insist on this point in order to enable them to dispose of the cash before re- tallatlve measures can be organized. There is some risk in adopting this course, but the behavior of Miss Stones captors thus far encourages confidence that they will fulfill their engagements.

CROWD UNRULY,

 London, Jan 22-The ceremony of the confirmation of the Right Rev 1Harles A. Gore, (who was canon of westminster and chaplain-in- ordinary 10 the late Queen Victoria) as bishop c worcester, at the church house West muster to-day, was attended by an extraordinary scene of tumult. The nall was thronged and there were nu-. lnerous objectors to the confirmation among whom was John Kensit the notorious anti-ritualistic crusader They protested so vehemently that what was intended to be semi-relig- lous ceremony assumed the character or disorderly political gathering. Bishop Cores editorship of Lux Mundi and the fact that he is the founder of the Monastic Celibate society figured largely among the arguments of the protestorS.
 
 the protests, whereupon Kensit, in wig orous terms, defied the vicar general | To stife him, declaring he would con tlnue 10 protest until elected by force. | A great uproar followed and it was only when the vicar general prepared | to carry out his threat 10 clear the hall | that Kensit consented to sit down.
 Shouts of farce and conspiracy accompanied Bishop Cores declaration and the administration of the oath.
 John kensit secured considerable notoriety during recent years by his anti-ritualistic protests. He created a disturbance April r last, during the conservation of the Right Rev A. F. w. Ingram as bishop of London, as- serting that the bishop was unfit for the office. Kensit was eventually es- corted home by a score of policemen, followed by a howling mob.

Quiet Life of This Farmer, Editor Pol
 itician and Lecturer
 Mason Augustus Walton, the hermit of Bonds hill, Gloucester, is man worth knowing. Although called a her init universally, there is nothing of the hermit about him. Had he lived some years earlier he might have been found enrolled among that little band of Brook farm experimenters at Concord who sought to find their highest enjoy ment near to nature. Mason A. Walton has a history. He is one who has been leader of men, farmer, lumbermen, traveller, editor, campaign orator, litera- ry man, friend of senators and gover- nors and wealthy men, with host of friends throughout the country. High up on the old pest-house road on Bonds hill, overlooking the city of Gloucester and the sea for miles, an unsurpassed view, where the fragrance of the wild magnoia n1ingles with the incense of l the pine, the hermit mas butt his little hut in which he finds shelter. It is To- cated hard by the roadside in the woods at the entrance to RavensWood park a tract of woodland in it's primeval state, which the late Samuel F. Sawyer left to | the city as a reservation.

AOARoTa RTJzzARD.

An icy blizzard, carrying in its teeth the blinding sleet that neither man nor animal could breast. was driving fierce ly across the wide plains. and the red frame dwelling and it's near lying build ings of s9d. which only the previous morning had stood out bravely against the dreary white waste, were wrapped and almost hidden in huge banks that had been caught up from the river heights and hurled with piercing roars against them.
 The storm had begun the day before. blowing first in fitful gusts that wh!s- tied under the caves, sent the hay from the stacks flying through the yard, and lifted the ends of the roof shingles threateningly. By noon it had gradual ly strengthened to a gale, and the steady downfall of flakes had been turned into a biting scourge that whipped up the soft cloak from the face of the open, treeless prairie, and sent it flashing through the frigid air. Long before night had begun to settle down. no eye could penetrate the scudding | snow foot beyond the window lodges, I except when a sudden stilling of the tempest disclosed the writhing cotton l wood break to the north, and the dou- \ ble row of ash saplings leading south to the plotted, printless highway.
 With darkness, the fury of the bliZ- gard had redoubled. and the house had rocked fearfully as each fresh blast struck it, so that the nails in the sheathing had snapped from time to time, ringing in the tense atmosphere like pistol shots. Momentary lulls- Ominous breathing spells-had interrup-
 ted the blizzard; but they had served only to intensity it when it broke again As it rose from threatening silence to rending shrieks, the believing of the frightened cattle, tied in their narrow stalls, had mingled with it and added tc
 it's terrors.
 l But when another wild, sunless day
 had come in, the drift-piled home hat
 ceased to shiver and creak or admi
 any sounds from without. Hour bJ
 hour it had settled deeper and deeper
 into the snow that weighted it's roo
 and shuttered it's windows, until
 shrouded and almost effaced, it lay, a
 last, secure from the tempest that swep
 over it and deaf to the calls from thu
 buried stables.-Eleanor Gates in thu Century.

strikers seem to be in the right and that there Is no just cause on the part Of the railrad concerned for subjecting the general public and business inter ests of this city to one moments more of loss or inconvenience.
 We advise as follows:
 1-Let a committee of five be appoint cd to cooperate with other like com mittees appointed to hasten settle ment oF tie strike.
 2-Let a concerted movement be made to compel this corporation to pay franchise tax to the city commensurate with the value of the large use which 1t makes of the public streets and let it's monopoly rates be reduced to a com petitive level.
 3-Let society take full title and pos session of it's own street franchise rights, and let the vicious perpetuity element In the charter of this concern be declared null and void, and then put the company itself on relatively short term leasehold basis relative to the sovereign people.
 Municipal ownership may become 1 necessary before the ultimate relations can be established in the case of city that finds itself in the hands of men so far behind the age.
 The resolutions were adopted.
 Samuel P. Thrasher of the Law and Order league wished it understood that he did not represent any organization with which he was connected. He came as an individual citizen and while he { did not believe in strikes he thought the arbitrary methods of the railroad war ranted a strike in this instance. He wished the employees a successful out come of the present disagreement.
 The following message was read New Haven Printing Pressmen's unior No. "A at it's meeting tonight eXtene it's sympathies, and adopted resolutions assessing themselves tirty cents pe' week during the strike.
 A letter of regret was received iron Fred Hirsh, the gentlemen's clothier He said the strikers had his entir' sympathy and he hoped they would b. successful in the impending controVer sy.
 Other speakers were Phillip H. Dal, and Terrence Kelly. A surprise wa sprung on Lyman Wilson of the PalIa dium for before he knew it he was eX pected to partake in the exercises othe than in his professional capacity, MI Sullivan had already introduced him He met the circumstance bravely an in a brief speech gave the strikers som very valuable advice.
 The committee appointed to cooper
 ate with the other committees consist
 of Captain Jerome Donovan, Samuel |
 Thrasher, Controller Rowe, George N Wallace, and John Foley. They wi meet in the controllers office at 7:l5 thi evening before the aldermen meet.
