Washington. July 1.-THE negotiations
now In progress at the vatican respect
ing the Philippine friars and their lands,
will not fail OF that the administration
officials feel certain. It was realized at
the beginning when Governor Tafts In
structions were framed, that they repre-
scented the extreme of our claims and
that they did not preclude the idea OF
reasonable compromise by mutual con-
cessions The negotiations are progress
ing in the spirit. The United States gov
eminent will not secure everything 1t
desired because If the pope were disposed
to concede these things, the negotiations
have developed the fact that although
his power is theoretically unlimited, In
actually the internal politics OF the
vatican impose conditions even upon the
chief prelate of the church, which he
must observe. Therefore, the immediate
and complete withdrawal of the Span
ish friars from the Philippines is not
now expected, but 1t is believed the re-
suit desired can be accomplished by an
ARRANGEMENT for the substitution OF
friars Of other nationality and the prin-

in which the change may be brought
about.
Are a Heavy Charge
AS the frairs are gathered almost alto
gether in Manila and are a heavy charge
on the converts and members of the
Catholic church outside the order who
are maintaining them, it is expected that
they will hasten the solution OF the
problem by themselves voluntarily seek
Ing other fields OF labor outside the
archipelago, for it is not held to be within
the power of the United States govern
ment to re-establish them in their par
ishes against the desires of the native
Catholics.
Although Governor Taft must make
concessions on this point, he has been
successful In other matters, especially sc
in the matter of religious education In
the public schools. The cardinals COM
mittee insists strongly that any arrange
ment made with Governor Taft must In
clude pome provision for religious train
! ing in the schools, but 1t appears now
| that the committee has consented TO an
| indefinite postponement of this issue
which is In itself a satisfactory solution
| of the case from the standpoint OF the
| United States.
| Secretary Root, who is directly IN
| charge of the measure, is in discussion
with Secretary Hay, who as the senior
| member Of the cabinet In washington Is
| called ''acting president respecting this
subject. and the response to the vatican S

Freight Handlers and Railroads
Both Make Concessions
ARBITRATORS ARRANGED IT
List Of Demands Prepared for the
Strikers to Present Today and
It Is Almost Certain They
Will Be Accepted.

Chicago. July 11-Mutuai concessions by
the freight handlers and by the railroads
have paved the way for conference be-
tween the managers and their employees
which 1t is hoped will lead to the settle
ment of the freight handlers strike These
conferences which will be the result of
the work Of the Chicago board of arbi-
fration, will be held tomorrow morning.
After working all day upon the situa-
tion the board of arbitration tonight made
the following recommendation. which has
been accepted by the railroads and by the
freight handlers.
THAT a committee of five, four Of
whom must be employees of their respec-
tive railroad, and having full power to
act meet with the proper officers of the
said railroad during the forenoon of Sat-
urday, July r. to settle the existing diff
ferences between the railroads and the
freight handlers
While not so expressed In the recon-
+ mendation, it is understood by all parties
that the fifth member OF eacn COMMITTEES
+ is to be a member of the executive com
mittee of the Freight Handlers Union.
President Curran of the freight hand
lers' union has from the first vehemently
opposed the meeting of any of the en-
ployes of the road with its officers, I'M
less an officer of the union should be
with them. The railroads have insisted
that they were ready at all times to lis
ten to the demands of their employees but
would not transact business through
third parties. The agreement reached to-
night is therefore a slight concession on
each side
List of Demands Prepared.
After receiving the consent of the
freight handlers. the members of the
board of arbitration prepared a list of
demands for the men to present tomor-
row morning. In drawing them up they
said they were assured that they would
be accountable to the railroads. The gen.
.eral managers said they had not beer
consulted about the demands but added
that they would meet the men and u.s.
every possible means to reach a settle
'ment.

Numerous Assaults.

NUMEROUS ASSAULTS
There were numerous other assaults
which the police were unable to prevent
The strikers had determined to make an
extra strong effort in the neighborhood
of South Water street where many COM
mission houses are located, but they ac-
complished very little during the day.
Lieutenant Cudmore was stationed there
with a strong detail of police and he
would not permit a striker to stop team
or raise his hand to stop one.
If the conference between the general
manager and the strikers shall not lead
to settlement of the strike, 1t Is prac-
teal certainty that all the members of
the teamsters union will go out The
drivers for the commission houses on
South Water street informed their en-
ployers this afternoon that they would
handle goods from the lake and for the
express companies but that they would
not after tomorrow deliver anything to
the freight houses or haul anything away
from them. This means, according to
the commission men, that 100000 worth
of produce which will arrive tomorrow
morning, will be allowed to spoil unless
the strike shall be settled before noon.
The commission men have determined
to divert as much as possible of their
supplies to the express companies at out
lying stations This will mean an imme-
diate increase of % per cent in the price
of vegetables as the express charges
will be added to the usual cost of freight

postnasters have held their office for only four years, and must then be either reaTpointei or superseded. The postmaster general has determined that no reappoiutment shall be re- qUired. and that after the expiration Of four years they can continue in office in spite of the congressman from the district. unless cause is shown for their removal. This order has the ring of the true metal. as it prevents mem bers of congress and ambitious poli- ticians generally. from trading with the petty postoaioes in their districts. They can no longer threaten a post master with removal because he does not or will not work for the advance ment of the aforesaid politician or member of congress. This gets rid Of the previous four-year limitation. and really introduces civil service rules into the thousands of small postomces in the United States
