THE WORLDS FAIR.
Ex-senator Carter Discusses the
Subject Of a Postponement.
FOREIGN COUNTRIES REQUIRE TINE.


St. Louis, April 1O-Former United
States Senator Thomas II. Carter.
chairman of the Louisiana Purchase
exposition commission created to
represent the national government
at the fair, arrived in st. Louis yes
terday. Mr.. Carter discussed the
subject of the postponement OF the
exposition in an informal way with
friends and newspaper representa-
tives. He said: Foreign govern
ments, states and territories will re-
qure time to construct buildings,
after sites have been selected. If
the exposition company can see its
way clear to make provisions for all
these contingencies and require
ments, within T. months or within
ten months suited to outdoor labor
in this climate, the company should
adhere to the original design and re-
sist any effort at postponement, II,
on the other hand, the company feels
that the physical conditions impera-
lively demand additional time, there
can be no doubt as to the wisdom of
an application to congress for the
needed extension. Congress made
very large appropriation of public
money in aid of the fair and that
body cannot be expected to view
with leniency the waste Of this money
when the only excuse to be offered
will be the time limit, which | am
sure congress will surely extend, il
requested Congress and the coun-
try expect the exposition company
to present the finest exposition ever
collected anywhere. The money has
been provided in ample amount to
warrant the expectation. II the com
pany needs more time the sooner that
fact is made known the better
Chairman Carter maze tne slalc'
ment that the question of postpon.
ing the fair had not been taken up
by the national commission. The
law under which the commission was
appointed, having provided for the
formal opening of the fair on AprlI
30, 1908, the commission will, Of
course, be prepared TO perform It's
official duty with reference to this
function. With the physical facts
confronting the exposition company
he said, the national commission was
not directly concerned, not being
vested with power or charged viii
responsibility.

RECIPROCITY LEAGUE.


Chicago, April 1O.-Representatives
of so leading manufacturing and
other industrial establishments OF
the United States met here yesterday

WHEAT RAISING IN DICKINSON COUNTY.
ANDREWS HAS QUIT.
Opera Company Has at Last Disband-
ed for Good.

Abilene's old friend, the ANDREWS
Opera Co., went to pieces in Olathe
last week. After the close of the dis.
astrous season in Kansas City last
fall and winter, the remnant OF the
company went on the road under the
name of the Boston Ideal Opera Com
pany. They played date in Topeka
in January, and then went out on tie
water tank circuit in Kansas. They
had the best show many Of the tank
towns ever saw, but they couldn't take
in enough money at the box Office
window to keep both bread and but
ter on the table at the same time.
And so the people cashed in their
few remaining chips and closed the
game at Olathe. The Andrews COM
pany was in its day and way a fam
Gus organization. 1t was the first
light opera company to play the
smaller towns and cities Of the West.
In its palmy days the management
took no chances. The theatre man.
ager who booked it p.anked down
5000 and took his chances on the
house. 1t didn't matter to the And
rews people whether they played to a
hundred people or thousand; they
got their little old two hundred just
the same.
1t used to come to Abilene in those
days and play in the old Bonebrakt
opera house. l.. H. Faulkner, who
was a friend of George Andrews
used to 90 around with the opers
house manager Qhe Bonebrake had {
new manager every Year, and th'
town gladly put up the guaranty
The company got careless after I
while and the shows became so pool
that the plan would not work.
However, the company was max
ing barrels Of money when it encoun
tered a series OF disastrous railwa,
wrecks. In three wrecks, in as man,
seasons, half dozen members OF tn
company we're killed and dozen in
iured. With that series OF misfor
tunes the lucky star of the compan..
began to wane, and it has been goinI
the wrong way on the dizzy inclin
ever since.

THE PHILIPPINE BILL
The House Committee on lnsular
Affairs Makes Its Report.
THE PROPOSED COINAGE SYSTEM.



Washington, April 1.-THE report
of the house committee on insular
affairs on the bill for the admins
tration of civil affairs in the Philip
pines was filed yesterday by Chair
man Cooper. 1t says now is an OPP
perfume time to make a definite
promise to the Philippine people that
they shall have share in the CEN
trail government of the islands AS
to slavery, the report says: "Ihe
problem presented is one not to be
solved by eloquent dcnunciation OF
the system Of slavery, nor by mere
declaration concerning the blessings
of liberty. It's proper solution de-
mands tactrul methods which shall
be at the same time just and prac-
tcable."
The report dcvotes much atten-
ton to the advantages OF the pro-
posed coinage system based on the
gold standard, which differs from the
silver system proposed by the SEN
ate bill. 1t is pointed out that the
house plan follows the recommends
tion of Coy. Taft and the govern
ment experts. The purpose, it says,
has been not to run counter to the
customs Of the people in regard to
currency or to alter radically the
unit Of exchange, but to present
conservative aud at the same time
sound financial measure for the
islands. As against this plan, the
report says, the principal alternative
plans presented are for the intro
dnction Of American currency as
the sole legal tender of the Philip
pines and the continuance in one
form or another of the silver stand
ard. The report says it is more than
doubtful whether an adequate sup
ply of currency would be maintained
in the Philippines If American money
was made the sole legal tender.
The democrats filed minority re-
port, which amounts to declaration
Of policy in the Philippines. 1t says
in part: "'Ihc chief question involved
is whether under the guise of the
forms of civil government a policy
unjust and cruel to the people OF the
Philippine islands and injurious and
dishonoring to American citizenship
shall be Indefinitely, If not perpetn-
ally. continAed or there shall be sub
stituted in lis stead more righteous
and humane policy, the intent and
purpose of which is to confer upon
the people within the shortest prac-
ticable period and upon reasonable
and proper terms an autonomous
system OF free sclfgovernment, based
upon the principle of independence,
which after the lapse of a reasonable
period to afford training and expert
ence shall eventuate into unqualified
and absolute independence.

The development of the Mesaba
iron range has been one of the most
remarkable In the history of mining
development during the last decade,
and to-day the great iron and steel in
drstries are looking to Minnesota for
their reserves of iron ore for years to
come. The Mesaba ranges are esti-
mated to contain from 100000, 900 to
600, 900, 900 tons of ore with much ore
land yet unexplored, but with the vast
consumption in the rapidly growing
iron and steel industries these immense
deposits are not so great that it be-
comes unnecessary to figure on the
future supply, 4 Hibbing correspond
ent of the Duluth News-Tribune says:
1.-THE wonderful development of iron
mining in Minnesota may be under
stood by reference to a few facts. The
first car of iron ore produced in the
State was loaded at Tower, on the Ver-
million range, in 1883. 1t was dis
tributed to the various furnaces of the
country as samples. The shipments
this year will be about IA, $50. 900 gross
tons. The first shipment from the
Mesaba range consisted of 1926 tons,
just ten years ago. The Mesaba up to
the close of last season had shipped al
together 40, 4O4, 767 during the decade,
and this years record will be over 12,-
100000 tons of the expected total of
Il, 250,00O tons for the State.''

THE cost of the great coal strike il

THE cost of the great coal strike is
computed to have been S135, 100000 of
which amount the operators lose $751;
100000 in the price of coal, while the
strikers lose in wages the sum OF s2s,
100000. The operators have already
decided to recoup themselves and have
advanced or will advance the price of
coal at the mines fifty cents ton,
while the miners-they go back to
work. There is no doubt but what the
results of the Investigations to be made
by the commission appointed by the
president will place the coal mining
industry on new basis.
