PRESIDENTES.

Manila. oct. 22.-Governor Taft discussed the
suppression of ladronism In Cavite yesterday at
a conference held there with the presidentes Of
twenty-five towns Of Cavite Province. He
told the assembled presidentes that they and
their people must unite and work for the sup
preston and punishment Of crime. The presi-
dentes promised to organize volunteers for this
purpose in each town. They asked Governor
Taft to secure the passage of a vagrancy act
that would reach ladrones and dissolute Amer
leans and foreigners.
Many discharged soldiers and other foreigners
make their homes with the natives and the in
fiGence OF these men is often bad. The govern
ment has been asked to secure the deportation
OF such persons, but up TO the present time Il
has had no means OF dealing with them. Gov
ernor Taft promised the presidentes TO draw
up a Vagrancy bill covering these conditions

MAY BE AMENDED

Washington, June 1.-THE house
spent the day considering bills reported
from the judiciary committee By far
the most important measure was that
to amend the existing bankruptcy law.
The minority made q vigorous effort to
repeal the present law in toto, but was
overwhelmingly defeated, s. to 1877. The
bill passed amends the law in fifteen
particulars. 10 meet defects which. it
is said. experience has proven. The
most important amendment is one to
define preference, TO meet the supreme
court decision in the case of Prize vs..
the Chicago Title & Trust company.
Four additional grounds for refusing a
discharge in bankruptcy are also added
First obtaining property on credit
on materially false statements: second
making a fraudulent transfer of prop
erty. third. having been granted or de-
MED discharge in bankruptcy within six
years: and, fourth. having refused to
obey the order Of the court. or refusal
to answer material questions approved
by the court
An evening session was held for the
consideration Of bills reported from the
Indian committee.
