eating S292. 290 were dishurscd last year,
and S2i4O2O in 1900 20 retired employees,

ture was borne entirely by the companies
associated in the administration Of the
department. aud was provided for by an
annual appropriation of 100000. The eN-
pensc incurred in the conduct Of the de-
partmont is rot included.
The pension plan was adopted by the
company two years ago, for the purpose
of retiring ON allowances employees o..

who are between the ages OF 65 and 81

Thermometers Registered Z
Degrees in Country
CHRISTIANA is FULL OF ICE
Tugs Are Running to and Fro TO
Keep Stream Open-BOatS In
able TO Leave

Coolest day of the year" declared
everybody to his neighbor, with chat
tering teeth and pinched expression to-
day, and, for a wonder the neighbor,
with teeth ohattering equally as hard
and looking quite as cold and blue,
agreed with no qualifying phrases.
In the city here at an early hour this
morning the thermometer got down to
degrees. In some parts of the coun-
try roundabout, the farmers said it fell
to degrees. The markets were but
slimly attended by country people, and
as consequence farm products were
scarce, and correspOndingly high. For
the same reason. however, there were
few purchasers TO venture forth.
! All the streams about the city are
frozen, but the skating lis not particu-
/ larly good, as the snow and ice had
made the ice rough. Even were this
not the case, il Is doubtful If many
would venture out in the bitter cold
/ The present freeze mp has demon
\ strated the necessity of an ice boat for
this city. The Christiana is filled with
ice and navigation is effected only by
keeping tugs patrolling the stream.
\ With the advent of a freeze the stream
becomes choked with ice. This is due
rivcrmon say, TO the fact that the lower
jetty Mt the mouth OF the stream was
built too far from the shore.
The cost Of keeping an ice boat fol
these waters would be slight, they say
and there would he no expense attached
TO the craft during the summer months
The Christiana was filed with four
inch ice this morning, and tugs are run
ming TO and fro TO keep the channel open
Owing to the quantity Of ice in tn
river the bark Shetland and the barken
tine Allenwide, which were TO have lef
this port today. did not depart.
The Shetland. which is at the yards ,
: the Pusey & Jones Company, is boun
. for Port of Spain, Trinidad with
. Bnockdown boat built by the firm.
p The Allenwildc has on board a care
T. of cars for q company in Buenos Ayre

THIS LAD STOLE PAPERS
OHcnsc May Bring About His Reformation

the systematic theft of newspapers from
the steps of Tatnall and West street
houses was ended this morning when
George Ricketts,, an 11-year-old negro.
Of No. Gil Windsor street, was arrested
by Patrolman Ford. The boy had TWEEN

with the Police Department, it is prob
able that he will be sent to the Ferri:

Governor Taft Condemns
Their Policy Of Terrorism
He DEFENDS OUR SOLDIERS
Says FilipinOS Have No Right to Any
Treatment But That Which
Is Severe

Washington. Feb. 5.-Governot
Taft Yesterday continued his narrative
before the senate committee on the
Philippines concerning the conditions
in the Philippine archipelago.
In response to question by Sena-
tor Patterson as TO the practices of
the Maccabees, Governor Taft warned
the committee and others against ac-
cepting without a great degree of al
lowance the statements made in pri-
vate letters. He considered most OF
these as unreliable, judging from what
he had seen of them. In general 1t was
impossible TO prevent retaliation by
private soldiers under all circum-
stances. AS a rule, the witness said,
American prisoners we're treated well
by the Filipinos. This. so far as he
knew. was uniformly true of the Fill
pino officers who were high in com
mand. There were some cases to the
contrary on the part Of subordinate
Filipino officers. He had not known
anything of the reports Of the killing
of Filipino prisoners with the knowl-
edge of General Metcalf, Of Kansas.
Governor Taft said that notwith
standing he was not in an attitude OF
favor to military rule, 1t was still
his deliberate Judgment that never
had a war been conducted in which
more compassion, more restraint and
more generosity had been exhibited
than in connection with the American
war in the Philippines"
DnlhnT
son made inquiry concerning the Ell
feet of the policy of concentration il
the Philippines. Replying, Governor
Taft said that General Bells orde
for concentration had been published
since his departure from Manila. He
however, had talked with General Bel
on that point and had told him that h
did not consider such an order neces
sary. because was of the opinion
that a proper degree Of pressur
brought to bear on the wealthy me-
of Batangas would have the effect @
causing the province to yield withou
making a sweeping order Of conceI
tration.
After reading part Of Genera
Bells order Senator Culberson aske
If he still entertained the same opil
ions previously expressed as to tn
military policy in the Philippines. I
this General Taft replied: "The wa
has been all over in these islands, an
that which remains is a crime again'
civilization It is also crime againl
the Filipino people to keep up a stat
of war under the circumstances. The
have worn out the right to any trea
ment but that which is severe an
within the rules of war"
This statement led Senator Pate
son 10 ask whether the witness d
not consider that even small nuI
Der of people who were waging a w
for independence do not deserve co
alteration at the hands of the Anne
can army. In repsonse, Governor Ts
said that the great majoriy of c
peopIe of the islands desire peace a.
that the insurrectiOnists by their aC
were preventing the mass of the p'
pie from settling down and earni
q quiet living. Instead Of being
lowed TO do this, they were kept
der a system ot terrorism. whi
should be stopped.

Mob's Fury

Prompted by the efforts of a mob,
on Sunday. to lynch Albert West the
colored man who, ON Saturday night,
murdered Mark w. Allen. Jr., a Chester
police officer, the authorities last night
had West removed 10 THE Eastern Peni-
tentiary in Philadelphia.
In the transfer of West to the peni-
tentiaIy the utmost secrecy was OBJ
served Few persons in Media knew of
his departure until he had reached
more secure quarters. West trembled
as he was led manacled and handcuffed
from the county prison in custody Of

fearing he would fall into the hands Of
the infuriated friends of the officer
whom he shot down. and into whose
body he fired a bullet after his victim
lhad fallen.
