GALE OF FRlAR LANDS.
Nothing Known of Reported Trans

Nothing Known of Reported Trans
fer to American Syndicate.
MANILA, Aug. 9.-Nothing is known
here of the reported sale Of the lands
of the friars to an American syndicate,
been made is Officially discredited.
The Dominicans transferred eight of
their estates in the island OF Luzon to
the Philippines Sugar Estates Deyel-
opment company, in which certain
Americans are Interested, in January,
1900. The government has questioned
the legality of this transfer, and the
matter is now pending before the
courts. Some property belonging to
other religious orders here is nominally
outside of the control of the church,
and judicial action will probably be
necessary before the government pur-
ohases the friar lands. That there
have been recent transfers OF friar
property is doubted. The status of
the holdings Of the friars is not be-
lieved to have changed since Governor
Taft left the Philippines for Washing
ton last December.
The Surrender of Dulilan, Moham-
medan priest. who has been the lead

Lake Lanao district of that island
Dulilan submitted to the American, au-
thorities last Tuesday, and he has
promised to induce the remainder of
the defiant Moros to surrender

TRADE CONDITIONS.

Labor Disputes Retard Business.
Agricultural Outlook Brighter.
NEW YORK, Aug. Or. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says:
Bright prospects in agricultural Sec
tons far outweigh the adverse infiu-
ence of labor disputes, which are still
retarding trade and manufacture. Con-
fidence in the future is mistaken, deal
ers everywhere preparing for a heavy
fall trade, while contracts for distant
deliveries run farther into next year
than is usual at this date. Activity
has been noteworthy in lumber re-
gions. and fish packing made new rec
prds.
Aside from the fuel scarcity and
some congestion of traffic. the iron and
steel situation continues propitious
Coke ovens in the Connellsville region
maintain weekly output of about
250,000 tons and find ready buyers at
full prices. Much more could be used
to advantage. Despite the urgent de-
mandf for finished products there is
more or less closing Of plants for re-
pairs. and workmen seek a rest after
the vigorous campaign.
Splendid growing and harvesting
conditions have prevailed in most sec
tions of the country, especially where
the larger and more important crops
are raised. In view Of the distinct
progress, it was natural that prices
should tend lower. and this affected
exports favorably, which in turn had
a steadying influence. 1t is now al
most certain that the agricultural re-
turns will be far above the average as
to quantity, while the low stocks at
the opening Of the season are calcu-
lated to sustain prices, and there lis
little prospect Of a return to the low
quotations Of preceding years Of bump
er production.
Ease in the money market has con
tinued despite the loss in surplus
reserves of the associated banks,
due to gold i,exports and Increased
loans.s Aside from ia small shipment
on afspecial operation the outgo of
gold received a decided check, francs
declining in response to the sharp rise
in sterling rates at Paris National
bank resources have attained new
high record above 5000. O0O. 900, with
deposits of half that sum. Foreign
commerce at this port is still less fa-
vorable than in the same week last
year, exports declining S3,775, 600,
while imports increased slightly.
Failures for the week numbered 1906
in the United States against 173 last
year and Ia in Canada against 81 q

Brigadier General Goblin received q
pathetic letter from the wife of non
union workman who is employed in
the Gilberton colliery Of the Philadel-
phia and Reading Coal and Iron com
yany, In which she told Of the treat
ment accorded her by strikers In that
vicinity. Among other things she said
rocks had been thrown through the
windows at night, one of them nearly
striking her sleeping child The house
was damaged, and while she was out
doors one night shot was fired at
her. She also said crowds gathered
around the house hooted and jeercd at
her and the child and hung Grape on
the door. Her husband, she concluded,
was compelled to stay in the mines in
order to earn money to keep them
from starving and as he could not
leave his work she asked the command
ing officer Of the troops here TO protect
her.
The troops rode all over the territory
and found that the population, which
is made up of many foreigners, was
not in the best frame of mind. The
soldiers were hooted and jeered and
called uncomplimentary names. Only
one stone was thrown at the horseIne1,
and this was done by some one In a
crowd on a high ridge out Of reach Of
the soldiers The cayalrymen stopped
their horses, and the crowd scattered
instantly.

SCRANTON. Aug. 9.--The Capouse
washery of the Scranton Coal compa
ny, branch Of the Ontario and West
ern coal department, was destroyed
yesterday afternoon by O fire OF unex-
plainable origin.
The flames were discovered a few
minutes after the force Of men re-
turned from dinner. The company off,
Gals allege that the place was set
afire during the noon hour when the
workmen were away at dinner and
when only one man was about the
plant, The fact that washery fire
was unknown until the Bellevue wash
cry burned week ago tends to lend
color to the suspicion that the flames
were not of accidental origin.
The Dodge colliery Of the Delaware,
Lacka wanna and Western, company.
located at the southern boundary Of
the city, has resumed work with 200
men. Half of these are old employees
of the colliery working under ground
The other half are recruits from
among the foreign element, who are
put at work doing the outside jobs.
This makes four collieries in opera

and Dickson, the other three. are in

THIS is what Rear Higgin-
son, OF the United States navy, has
to say about "the man behind the
gum" The monkey wrench has taken
place of the marlinSpike. All the old
officers regret the loss of activity in
wind and muscle which running up
mast 1876 feet to a royal yard required
of a seaman" Surely the Admiral is
little too peSSimiStic. Neither the
American soldier or jackie of 1902 can
be said to be puny, nor are they weak
lingS as has been proven upon occasion.
