NO CAMP AT LATHROP ENGLISH GOVERNMENT OWNS NO PROPERTY THERE. British Army oficer Says That His 0overment Has Bought No
 Mules or Horses in the
 United States.

Lathrop Mo-, April 10.-There is a re- port here that President RooseveIt's order to investigate the British mule purchases in America include an examination of the mule yards here. Mules are sent from here to New Orleans, whence they are sent to South Africa. There are ten British officers here. They declare that the British Government has not one dol lars worth of property in Clinton County and that no horses have been bought by the British War Department In the United States The purchases were all made in South Africa, these British of- ficers say.
 The attention of Governor Dockery was called to the statement that the British Government has been buying horses and mules for nearly a year.
 Major J. Moore. who Is at the head of the ten British officers here. when asked the position of his government in the purchases that arc being made in the United States. is quoted as saying that he was practically here the same as any private citizen would be. although he is an army officer and has seen active ser vice during seventeen months in South Africa. He said the British Government does not buy the horses and mules here, but has sent some of its army officers and vetinerary surgeons here to inspect the horses and treat them before they are sent to South Africa where they are sold to the British Government.
 There are 5.600 horses and mules here now and 200 head of cattle. The next shipment will be made this week.

NO DUDES D1sI1HD.
Picked Msn Should Ds asnt to ox.
 ford.

New York April 1o.-Sir Milton Con way, professor of art in CambridGe .Upj- versity. who Is In this city. has one great regret over the provision of Cecil Rhodess will which founded American scholarships at Oxford. He regrets that Cambridge was not the fortunate univer- sity.
 ''Of course.'' he said, "I base my re- gret on the assumptisn that American youths whom you seni over to us will Dc tho pick of your States. In the past. especially at Oxford. there have been good many American students with plenty of money who came for the good time. or because their parents thought 1t the swell thing. I hope the men Nho receive the Rhodes scholar ships will not be of that stamp, a l feel pretty sure they will not.
 If they arc picked men there 10 every reason to be certain that they will come to the front in every line of study and activity they take up, and they will un- questf0nabiy awaken the old place up and put new life into 1t. One hundred picked Americans in the undergraduate body ct Oxford will be a leaven for Eeod tn the institutions: wiAh they were coming to Cambridge. It may b< just az well, however, that Oxford il the university selected, because Oxford has always been perhaps a better train. tng ground for statesmen and certainly for journalists and all men who are to use their pens than Cambridge."

 is Unknown.

Columbus. Ga, April i0.-About o'clock tonight fire broke out in the blow shops of the Southern Flow Works and at Il o'clock two whole blocks were in ashes and another building, warehouse, was burning rapidly.
 The two blocks burned will amount in damages to over two hundred thousand dollars and the damage to the warehouse will run the amount up to quarter of a million. By n:S0 p. m. the fire was under control.
 The origin of the fire Is unknown. The flames were first discovered in corner of the blow shops corner of Front and Dillingham; Streets and 1t spread rapidly southward sweeping everything in the blow company's shop and the machine and forging departments of the Columbus Iron Works which occupied the same building, both taking up the entire block down to Short Street. When the fire reached the middle of the plant d lot of yarnish, oils, etc., caught and added fury to the flames. The offices of the blow company and iron workers were destroy cd and the fire leaped to the middle of Ninth Street consuming the trestle work of the Mobile and Girard Railroad from Front Street to the river a distance of nearly two blocks. This cut of the in- coming Mobile and Girard train and 1t had to remain in Girard and make trans- fers From the bridge the fire caught the South block which was occupied by the iron works pattern shops. wood work- ing plant, molding shop. lumber yard and boiler houses burning everything in the plant down to Eighth Street except the new molding hot recently finished 1t being the only building left standing in the two blocks.
 On the west side of Front Street from Ninth down to Eighth there were eight framed cottages burned valued at p.Uo The Empire Mills cooper shop on the corner of this block was burned also.
 About the time the fire was under con- trol Friedlanders hide and Junk ware house on the corner of Bread and Dii- ingham Strets caught and before the semen could conquer 1t. it teo was gone tn its contents. Hard work and 2 click fire wall prevented the spread to he Webster warehouse next deor.

PHILIPPINE SLAVERY
NOT TO BE sErTEED BY DE-
 QLARATIoN, SAYS COOPER
Report of House Committee on Bill for Civil Government of the Philippine
 Islands.

Washington. April 1o.-The report of the
 insular affairs on the bin for the admin
 istration of civil affairs in the Philip pines was filed today by Chairman Cooper.
 As to slavery the report says:
 "The problem presented is one not to
 be solved by eloquent denunciation of the system of slavery. nor by mere
 liberty. Its proper solution demands tactful methods which shall be at the
 same time just and practicable.
 The report devotes much attention to
 the advantages of the proposed coinage
 system, based on the gold standard, which differs from the silver system pro- posed by the Senate bill. It Is pointed out that the House plan follows the recommendation of Governor Taft and the government experts. Tho report says that the strongest objection to the introduction of American currency Is the change that it would make in the existing sta ndard of values, excessive size Of the unit, and the difRculty of maintaining . costly currency tn a poor country such as was experienced in Porto Rico. The continuance or the SllNer stanuaru III any form which does not raise the coin to
 fixed parity with gold is pointed out to be subject to the same objections now made by the business community Of
 Manila against the existing system. "The islands have had a sufhcient ex- perience under such system" says the i! report, to justify the belief that they desire return to the gold standard which prevailed in the Philippines prior to 1sae V
 The Democrats filed a minority report,
 which amounts to a declara tion Of policy
 on the Philippines. It says in part:
 .'The chief question involved Is whether,
 under the guise of the forms of civil gov ernment. a policy unjust and cruel to the
 people of the Philippine Islands and in-
 furious and dishonoring to American
 citizenship shall be indefinitely if not perpetually continued, or whether there shall be substituted in its stead more righteous and humane policy, the intent and purpose of which is to confer upon these people within the shortest practica- ble period and upon reasonable ana proper terms an autonomous system or free seif-government, based upon the principle of independence which after the lapse of a reasonable period to arord training and experience shall eventuate into an unqualified and absolute inde' neudence

SHIP sU1sIDY BILL
Advocates of the leasure Appear
 Before House Commit.ss

Washington. April 10.-The ship subsidy bill recently passed by the Senate, was taken up today by the House Committed on Merchant Marine and Fisheries. Dem his Clyde, of the Clyde line Of steam CTS, said to the opponents of the bill should be pinned down to these two points:
 First. is there difference in cost of building and operating American as against foreign ships; second, if there Is such difference what better way Is there to overcome 1t?
 He said that the cost of building and operating the American ship was about 90 per cent. above the foreign cost. He said the movement by capitalists under the leadership of MT. Morgan to buy up transatlantic lines afforded an oppor- tunity to have large amounts invested in American yards and American ships The men in this movement. he said, would require many ships and if this country did not encourage the invest ment 1t would go to foreign yards.
 Erastus Brainard, representing the Se- attle Chamber of Commerce, set forth the interest of the Pacific Coast ship ping people in the bill. A practical ob- ject lesson had been given at Seattle, he said, where the subsidized Japanese lines received s74,00O for freights otft of Seattle in one year. This more than offset the s325,Ooo subsidy Japan gave the line.
