AT SEAGIRT RANGE
THREE EVENTS WILL MAKE DAY
ONE OF lNTEREST-TUESD
TEAMS WILL SHOOT FOR HILL
TON TROPHY.

Seagirt, August S1.-Labor Day at the
big interstate shooting tournament now
in progress under the auspices of the Ma
tional Rife Association of America, the
New Jersey State Rife association and
the United States Revolver association,

home ranges of clubs located rot less
than 100 miles from Seagirt, beginning at
2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon on targets
supplied for the purpose by the National
Rifle association. AS no outside entries

ing will be confined to the teams now on
the range.

of the meet as the competition for the
famous Hilton trophy is to take place
then. The proposed match between teams
of cadets from the United States military

pleted for the organization of an all
American team and the visit of that team
to Ottawa, Canada, to compete for the

mousIy Condemn His Order.

Philadelphia, August 31.-The Central
Labor union of Philadelphia, at its regu-
lar meeting today, unanimously adopted
a resolution denouncing Brig. Gen. j. P.
Goblin, in command of the troops now
on duty In the anthracite coal fields, for
issuing an order calling on his men to
shoot strikers If they resist the authority
of the troops. The resolutions set forth
that 1t is illegal for the general to issue

MIA who are guaranteed a trial by jury
for any offense they may commit" The
resolutions request Governor Stone to re-
woke the commission of General Goblin
and the civil authorities are asked to
have the general indicted and tried for
threatening the lives of citizens of the
state of Pennsylvania"
The secretary of the union was In
structed by the union to send, letter of
protest to Governor Stone for the alleged
breaking of a promise that he is said
to have made to the three anthracite
district presidents to the effect that he
would not permit the state troops to es-
cort non-union men to and from the
mines 1t is claimed that the governor
made this promise to Presidents Nichols,
Duffy and Fahey on the occasion of their
visit to Harrisburg in May.

PHILIPPINE QUESTION Is FOOT.
BALL OF POLITICS.

Manila August a.-Governor Taft was
given banquet by the American cham
Der OF commerce of Manila last Satur-
day night. In an address replying to a
toast the governor discussed the future
of the Philippines. He said the United
States would retain the islands Indefinite
ly with the view Of educating the Fill
pinos to state of self-government and
other conditions which would enable them
to decide whether they desired to be-
come Independent or be made into a state
like Canada or Australia under Great
Britain. Governor Taft said he believed
the relationship between the two peo-
pies would be continued and that the
Americans were here for the benefit of
the Fillpinos. He said the Americans
did not desire the islands for selfish pur-
poses and promised that American capi-
tai would get fair treatment here.
Continuing the governor expressed the
belief that commercial interests must
ultimately rely upon Filipino labor, al
though temporary relaxation of the
immigration restrictions was possible.

Luke f. Wright, who acted as civil
governor of the islands during the recent
absence of Judge Taft, also spoke at the
chamber of commerce dinner. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the true future
of the islands depended upon the admis-
sion of their products to American mar
kets. Commissioner Wright regretted
that the Philippine question mad been
