HONOLULU, Nov. 1.-(Correspondence Of
the Associated Press. 1.-THE transport Sum
ner arrived here on October so, enroute TO
San Francisco, with General A. r. Chaffee
and Vice Governor Luke E. Wright Of the
Philippines on board. The steamer passed
through a terrible experience in a typhoon
soon after leaving Manila. 1t lost one Of
its boats and had several damaged and
for a number Of hours was in grave danger.
In an interview Governor Wright had the
following to say OF conditions in the Philip
pines and their future;
The developments io;,owing the Inaugural
ton of the civil government OF the islands
have been most satisfactory. We have now
civil government almost everywhere and
the people seem to be learning its advan-
tages. The system OF provincial and mu-
ing the last year there has not been a
single defalcation and very few thefts. The
government is strictly one of civil service.
There is a degree OF peace and safety in
the Philippines now that was never reached
under the Spanish rule. The Spsniards used
TO pay the brigands to keep peace, put We
have refused to continue this system.
After the passage of the Philippines bill
last year we established the insular con-
stabularv and we now have 5000 men en-
rolled. We find that they are the best men
for the business and they have cleared
the province of law-breakers with great
activity. The service is one which appeals
TO the natives, for the police are chosen
from the tribes among whom they must
serve.
The future OF the islands will be a great
one. but railroads are badly nedeed and
may be built sooa by American capital.
There is a trunk line on the island OF
LuZon now under consideration and its
building will help matters greatly.

Appendicitis Charged Up q Present
System of Milling.

Changes In milling processes are respon-
sible for appendicitis. according to a ply
stefan who has been in the practice Of
medicine for fifty years and who has OBJ
served the spread OF the disease. This
physician, DR.. II. C. Howard OF Champaign,
Ill, asserts that until the trade demand for
exceedingly white -four changed the meth
ods OF grinding wheat there was no APP
pendicitis.
To prove this assertion. reports the Chi
cago Tribune, the physician points to the
fact that where coarse breads are used the
disease is unknown, but that as soon as tho
fine breadstuffs are introduced appendicitis
comes along as a sequence.
By this reasoning n IS shown nat the
people of agricultural Communities who Sc
cured their -four from small mills did not
have the disease until the small mills were
crowded out by the large ones and fine
white -four supplanted the coarse.
Then the negroes OF the south so long
as they ate cornbread we're free from the
disease, but when the new process -four
began to be used the disease came among
them. The same results attended the de-
parture of the German folks from their
coarse bread to refined -four.

Large and extended changes in the diet
of people has contributed to this. For
example. about the date mentioned there
began to be a general change from the old
method OF grinding grain 10 the present
method Of roller mills and excessively fine
boiling cloths. This plan Of milling began

SuperstitiOns that Cling 10 Popular
Adjunct q Teas.

In the growing popularity OF a samovar,
both as an ornament and an adjunct TO
the breakfast table, the natural desire is
to possess a Russian samovar as distinct
from one manufactured in some other part
of the world. The purchaser will do we'll,
therefore, to note the marks which stamp
the Russian article as genuine.
In the first place, as the manufacture OF
samovars in the dominions OF the car is
reserved exclusively TO the government. the
imperial crest will be found stamped upon
every genuine Russian tea urn. The reason
why the government engages in this in
dustry is that a samovar may be within
the purchasing power OF the humblest
peasant. It is regarded as a public neces-
sity in Russia and is sold by weight and
at the actual cost OF manufacture. OF
course there are many grades. from those

and silver, worth thousands Of dollars, and

a good brass samovar, with bowl and tray
to match. will cost in Russia about $40. and,
imported into the United States, double
that sum.
Another test Of a genuine Russian
samovar is TO be noticed in the heating
apparatus. II a spirit lamp is the method

Those made in Russia are all heated with

But to many people. and especially to
readers who are familiar with Russian
novels. in which the samovar is perpetu-
ally in bubbling evidence. It nay be news
to learn that the use of the samOvaT Is a
comparatively modern Russian custom.
There are still to be found peasants In
Russia who deplore its Introduction with
the words: Holy Russia has never been
the same since We have so many samovars.'
For all that. samovars are TO be found
in almost every house and howell OF the

Union Pacific Photographers OOncluds Con-
ference with the officials.
REACH TERMS OF MUTUAL SATISFACTION
General Schedules, Involving wages,
Hours Of LsbOr and Communica-
tiOn with superIors Are
Thoroughly Adjusted.

The general committee OF the Brother
hood OF Railway Telegraphers. Union Pa
cine division, has finally concluded its con-
~ferences with the officials Of that road and
a satisfactory adjustment Of all differences
Is the result. The committeeman, who arc
gathered from all over the road. will return
TO their respective homes feeling entirely
pleased with the outcome.
This committee. which is headed by d.
c. Leach of Junction City. Colo, first came
TO Omaha July 20 and took up its business
WITH Edward Dickinson, then general man
ager Of the Union Pacific. But the strike
being at its worst then, Mr.. Dickinson
was unable to give the matter his full at
%tention, and August 2s the conferences we're
adjourned without any definite results.
The committee resumed its conferences
October 81. since which time II has been
dealing with superintendent Of Transporta-
ton Buckingham and superintendent Of
Telegraph Korty. The members express
the most complete satisfaction of their
relations with the officials and say they
have no criticisms to make Of the terms
given them.
Features of the Conference.
Wages, working hours and the manner
Of dealing with superiors were among the
most important features Of the conference.
The general schedules. in fact, were re-
vised. By this revision several thousand
dollars annually will be added to the
te~legraphers' pay roll and the scale is
brought to'a high standard. Owing to the
different classification Of work the wage
scale is rather complicated.
The officials conceded a half-hour re-
duction in the days work Of operators In
the larger places and allowed the
telegraphers for overtime. This schedule
makes the regular workday In the larger
places nine and a half hours, with one
hour OF for lunch, making In actual labor
eight and a half hours. The operators
in the smaller places will continue on a
ten-hour day. which was formerly In force
all over the system.
The result Of these conferences will be
received with great interest. as owing to
the present labor trouble on the Union
Pacific and the dificulty which operators
on other western roads are having with
their employers, they had been watched
with more than ordinary concern.

terror. The outside is massive, rather
than ornamental, but the interior is a
revelation. The auditorium has floor
space fully eighty feet square and will
seat nine hundred people. One end is
taken UP with a stage-like platform,
that can be used for sacred concerts
and church entertainments. The other
end has a balcony across, which is
divided into five compartments, and the
whole building is furnished with the
latest steel ceiling designs.
The basement Is composed of several
class rooms, cloak rooms, retiring
rooms, spacious kitchen and a COM
plete system of steam heat. The
building Is being rapidly pushed 20

and it will be ready for dedication on
