GAZETTEER OF THE PHILIPPINES
Comprehensive Publication Issued by
the War Department..

The Pronouncing Gazetteer and Geo.
graphical Dictionary of the Philippine ISL
ands, with maps, charts and illustrations,
published as Senate document No. $50, Fiji
ty-seventh Congress, first session. which
was prepared in the bureau of insular af-
fairs, War Department has just been is
sued and contains wealth of information
concerning our oriental possessions.
The gazetteer proper contains 264 pages,
including the index, while the geographical
dictionary occupies 66S pages, exclusive of
the maps, charts and illustrations.
When Dewey's brilliant victory awoke
national interest in the Philippines the OBJ
tainable literature in English the sub
ject was meager, much of it was old and
almost out of print, while Spanish works
were to be found in but few libraries.
1t was a herculean task to discover, read,
digest and arrange the information that the
people We're asking for and to keep pace
with the rapid changes in the present civil
and military history of the Philippines.
The work contains the most recent and
authoritative Information, from official and
other sources, concerning the islands, rela-
tive to their geography, physical features,
areas, communications, population, towns,
resources, wealth, products, industries,
commerce. finance, social economy, natural
history, military occupation and civil gov
eminent followed by an alphabetically ar
ranged descriptive list of the islands, prov
mountains volcanoes, rivers. seas straits,
CULTS, bays, lakes. capes, light houses and
other mapped objects and places to the
number of 10000.
When it is remembered that no accurate
survey of the archipelago has ever been
made. and that no accurate census has
ever been taken, it will be seen that all in
formation obtainable was but relatively ac-
curate, and conflicting statements had to
be reconciled according to the authors best
judgment. The work, however as whole
is extremely valuable and should be the
desk companion of every student who de-
sires to inform himself as to the Philip
pines.
With the census that has been ordered
and the surveys now being made by the Of
ffcers of the United States and insular gov
eminent, exact information will be avail
able, and now that the way has been
blazed, at no little cost of time and labor,
another edition embracing the rapidly ac-
cumulating information will be even more
valuable, and will make the work stand
ard of information concerning the islands.
1t is to be regretted that the edition or
dered by Congress was not larger, for al
ready requests have been received that will
more than exhaust the present limited edi-
ton, of which 2,000 copies have been placed
to the credit of the members of the House
and 600 to the senators.

GERMAN TARIFF BALKED.
TEST VOTES SHOW STRONG OPPOSITION
GOVERNMENT FIRM

Berlin. Oct. 21.-The government was defeated
in the Reichstag to-day in test votes on the
Tariff bill by the Conservative and Central
party inserting in the Ministry's bill amend
ments fixing the minimum wheat duties at
81 80 a metric hundred weight in place of 81 81.
and the rye duties at 81 81 instead of 81 %. The
votes were: Wheat, 1874 TO 145; rye. 1S7 to 1o2
The minority was composed Of National Liber-
ais. Socialists and Radicals. Previous to the
roIlcaH Chancellor Won Bulow again firmly an
nounced that it was impossible for the govern
nent to accept the amendments Three courses
are now open TO the ministry-to dissolve the
Reichstag. TO negotiate for compromise. or to
let the majority pass the bill IN any form it
chooses and suppress it in the Bundesrath In
the latter event commercial treaties will be ne
gotiated on the basis of the present tariff The
Chancellor's plan appears to be to do nothing
Immediately and see if the majority will yield
Prior to the votes Chancellor Won Bulow
made fighting speech in behalf Of the bill as
drawn UP by the federal governments, who. he
declared. agreed that all possible protection was
accorded to agriculture compatible with the
conclusion of commercial treaties The Chan-
cellor protested against the assertion that the
imperial government was saving on the
branch on which the monarch, was sitting.

for the farmers and he did not care whether In
