AT ELLIS ISLAND
Picturesque Family of Servians
Fail to Satisfy immigra-
ton Commissioners.

New York, Aug. 24.-Elias J. Ivan
ovich with his wife and eight children
were held over night by the immigra-
ton authorities at Ellis Island and this,
in spite Of the fact that he has with
him $4,000 in gold coin, and $4,000
worth Of jeWelry. When the family
landed from the freight steamer By
o. it was suspected they were
Gypsies, and until they could prove
their good intent in coming to this
country 1t was decided to look into
their story. When it was seen they
possessed wealth hat fairly took the
breath from the examiners, it was too
late to do anything more in the matter,
but Is is probable they will be released.
Attire and Appearance Unique.
They are Servians and will live in
this country. Elias, the head Of the.
family, is a man about SO years old.
He is more than six feet tall, and with,
his impressive bearing and picturesque
attire, could well pose for a picture OF
an ideal bandit. About his waist, be-
meath a Persian lamb coat, he wears a
belt containing Spanish doubloons three
deep. His watch chain is Of massive
silver studded with t%urquoises Of large
size. No less guadily attired was his
Oldest son, who likewise wore a belt
of doubloons. His wife's ears held gold
ear rings nearly two inches long. and in:
the ears Of his pretty daughter were
large pearls. ..r ,.

HAVE NO INSTRUCTIONS.
Relatives of MIR. and Mrs. Fair SO Busy
With Their Property They Nave No
Time to Care for Their Bodies

Paris, Aug. 25.--There is evidently.
some mystery connected with the fact
that the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Fair
have not been sent from Paris. 1t was
originally arranged that the bodies
should be withdrawn from the church
of the Madelein at s o'clock yesterday
afternoon. At that hour two.Sunder-
takers vans We're waiting at the door,
when orders came sending them away
till $3.50 o'clock last night. At that
hour the vans were again on time, but.
the removal of the bodies was again
contaminated, and it is believed their
removal has been postponed until an
indefinite date.
Lawyers representing the families of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fair have been closetsd
John W. GoWdy, who, cabled Washing
ton earlier in the day for Instructions
in the matter. It Is reported that the,
lawyers representing n party desire
that a post mortem be held before the
bodies leave France.
Mr.. GoWdy has received no reply to
his ~cablegram addressed to Washing
ton. A
Mr.. ELLIS, manager Of the Hotel Ritz,
where the Fairs had apartments at the
time Of their death, has charge ofSthe
Shipping arrangements. When ques-
toned yesterday he was very reticent.
He said the shipment of the bodies had
been postponed because$de1nite 5tnstrlc-
tions for forwarding them had not
been received from the family of Mr..

ARRIVES
At MANILA
Civil Governor Was Welcomed
With a Big Popular
~. Demonstration.
CONGRATULATES NATIVES
Predicts the Islands VIII Have Practi'
caliy Free Trade, and Advises
Filipinos to Give Up Po- g
.iiticai Agitation.

Manila, Aug. 25.--Civil Governor Taft
reached here yesterday on board the
United States gunboat General Alva.
He was welcomed with an enthusiastic
popular demonstration.
The day had been made q holiday,
and the city was decorated. Eight large
arches had been erected on the streets.
Twenty thousand natives from adjoin-
ing provinces participated in the DEM
onstration in honor Of the governors
arrival. There was a parade of Ves-
sells in the bay, and thirty decorated
craft carrying members of the civil
commission, military officers and the
reception committee met the General
Alva down the bay and escorted low
ernor Taft to the entrance Of the Pasig
river. The governor was escorted by
a large procession to the palace in the
city, where a reception was held.
In response to an address Of welcome
General Taft outlined his negotiations
at Rome in the matter of the Philip
pine friars, and said that all church
questions were progressing toward a
satisfactory settlement.
The governor said h action taken
by congress concerning the Philippine
islands showed that the American peo-
pie honestly desired to help the Fill
pinos. The Americans We're deter
mined the islands should not be ex-
plotted by Americans at the expense of
the Filipinos.
6. Governor Taft predicted that eventu-
ally the archipelago would have prac-
tically free trade, and he congratulated
the Filipino people upon the restora-
ton of peace. He advised The iFilipinos
to till the soil and restore their country
rather than waste time in useless po-
liticai agitation. He promised person.
ally to labor for the natives, and asked
for their confidence n support.
Governor Taft was given an ovation
on the streets Of the city during his
progress to the palace and he received
another ovation at his reception.

Work of Administration.
"Step by step as the army conquered
the rule of the military was supDlant-
ed by the rule Of the civil authorities.
The actual work Of administration has
been done so far as possible by native
Filipino officials serving under Amer
leans. The success of TIE effort has
been wonderful. Never has the coun-
try had a more upright or an ADLER
body Of public representatives than
Governor Taft, Vice Governor Wright
and their associates and subordinates
In the Philippine islands. Each inhab-
tant of the Philippines is now guaran-
teed his civil and religious rights. sub
ject only to not infringe upon the
rights of others. Congress, has, with
far seeing wisdom, heartily supported
all that has been done by the execu-
tive. Wise laws for the government
of the Philippine islands have been
placed upon the statute books, and un-
der those laws provision is made forthe
Introduction into the Philippines Of
representative government. with only
the delay absolutely necessary to allow
for the establishment Of definite peace,
for the taking of q census ard the set
Ting down Of the country. In the
Philippines as in Cuba the instances Of
wrongdoing among either IL civil or
military representatives have been
few, and punishment has been melted
u with even handed justice to all Of
tenders.
1.-The awakenin~ of the orient means
very much to I'll Christendom, com
mercially no less than politically. The
possession of the Philippines has helped
us, as the securing Of the open door In
China has helped us. Already the gov
has taken the necessary steps
to provide conditions which safeguard
absolutely the Interests of the Amer
lean public. Our with the
east is growing rapidly. Events have
~abundantly justified, alike from the
moral and material standpoint, all that
we have don in the far east as a Sc
Quel to our war with SPAIN"

Not Business.

OF course it is not business. AS a
voter and tax payer pledge my hearty
support to the protest of the Ledger,
made in its last issue, concerning the
loose way of doing business in regard
to the road funds. The sooner it is
corrected the sooner it will save
trouble. Because we have an honest
and trusty board of supervisors is no
proof that such will always be the case
AS the banker said when questioned as
to how he always had honest clerks:
II never leave funds where they car
be tempted to take Them AS it is
now if you do any work on the county
road you are not required to present
any bill; or if you do there is no action
taken on it by the board OF supervis-
ors. The member of your district SIM
ply takes the money out of his pocket
and pays you. You are not required
to sign any receipt, and at some future
time said supervisor goes to the treas
urer's Office and demands certain
amount of money he paid John Brown
for road work. As the supervisors
hold the county officers accountable for
their expenditures of county funds, so
the voters and taxpayers insist on the
supervisors issuing a full report of
county expenditures. In other places
where taxation is less than one dollar
on the hundred valuation this is done,
Why not here. SUBSCRIBERS,

MOkELUMNE HILL, May 1O, 1902.
Ed. Ledger:-
Have been here on a two weeks
visit to my daughter, Mrs. G. B. Solari,
and will return home tomorrow.
While here l met an old gentleman
from New York, who is visiting his
neice, Mrs. A. Lampson. He came out
to see his sister, Mrs. Warren, of
Healdsburg, whom he had not seen for
3S years, and both came here to visit
their neice aud daughter. Thursday
he thought he would like to take a
look at the surrounding country, SO he
started for Butte mountain on foot,
going down to the S. E. plant, thence
over the hill to the foot of Butte noun
tain, carrying his lunch. When up
half way on the south side he found it
impossible to go any farther, so he
started around on the west side. Still
it was too steep. He would slip, so he
took off his shoes, put his lunch in
them, and crawled up on his hands and
knees, determined to reach the summit,
which in time he did, and with the aid
of field glasses enjoyed the view i'm
mensely, returning home tired out, but
glad of having seen the pretty views.
L thought it remarkable, because he is
sixty-six years old, and has always
lived in cities, so thought 1 would drop
you these few lines. He asked me if
knew of anyone going to the Big Trees,
as he would like to go with a crowd to
visit them. So if you know of anyone
going you would confer great pleasure
to very nice tourist, as he intends to
do all the state before he returns home.
Yours respectfully,
MRS. B. NJ. GARBARINI,
Jackson.
P. S.-If anyone is going and wishes
to make arrangements, write to Mrs.
