TO HELP FILIPInos.
PresIent Urges a Reduction Of the Tar
IN In Their Behalf.

President Roosevelt, in conversation
with his congressional callers Friday,
dwelt upon, with serious emphasis, the
necessity for the enactment Of the
pending Philippine tariff legislation.
He said that In the last few days
.ablegrams had been received from
Governor Taft strongly urging that the
Philippine tariff bill be enacted, and
pointing out that failure on the part
bf the congress to provide for lower
tariff on Philippine products would re-
suit certainly In hardships to the peo-
pie of the islands, and probably to
recurrence Of serious disturbances.
Indeed. Governor Taft is OF the opin-
ion that the recent outbreaks insti-
gated by bands Of ladrones IN the
island of Luzon are due largely to
feeling Of discomfort that Is growing
throughout the Philippines. The con-
ditions In the island are said to be
bordering on distress and the presi-
dent. in discussing the situation Win
members of congress, appealed strong
" to them for the enactment OF the
legislation that, in the opinion OF the
administration. would remedy the
present dificulty. Senator Lodge and
other Republican senators are making
an effort to secure the passage OF the
tariff bill, but they have little nope
of SUCCESS.

SPRING FREsHETs CAUSE DEATH.
Many People Known to Have Persisted
In the South.

The annual spring freshet, which
yearly does damage to railroads and
crops, and, at times, infiicts loss OF
life. has left this seasons impression
on many parts of the south after two
days rains, with an accompaniment OF
high winds. Six persons were drowned
while trying to cross the Ohio near
Hickman, KY, the swift current car
rying their boat into some driftwood,
and FIVE persons were hurt in tornado
which passed over Hickory Level, Ca.
The damage to railroad property Is
large and the inconvenience to the
public considerable. Cloudbursts are
reported in Kentucky and Tennessee,
and 1t is feared there has been some
loss of life in the affected regions.
In Middlesboro, KY, every house In
the lower section of the place was
flooded and every merchant suffered
uamage to stock. The valley OF yell
low Creek was flooded for several
hours from mountain to mountain.

EUROPEAN WAR CLOUDS.
Trouble Between Russia and Turkey
Expected In the Spring.

A st. Petersburg dispatch declares
that some publicists are of the opinion
that only the sternest language toward
Turkey can prevent war between
Russia and Turkey In the spring. They
believe that Turkey will pursue bands
OF Macedonian revolutionists across
the Bulgarian frontier and that public
opinion will compel Russia to interfere.
The Russians thoroughly understand
that a war with Turkey will be a more
severe one than that OF 1878. Ofiicers
are quoted as saying that the Turkish
army is the best in the world, owing
to its German organization and arma-
ment. There is an inclination in st
Petersburg to anticipate German
financial support of Turkey, and IN
view of the situation forebodings OF
clash with Turkey are freely expressed
In private. although they are carefully
suppressed in the newspapers

EXTRA SESSION LIKELY.
presldent VIII Reconvene Congress
Unless Panama and Cuban Trea-
ties Pass.

Ties Faoos
The discussion at the cabinet meet
ing evolved principally about pend
ing legislation in congress. Little hope
ia felt among members OF the cabinet
that the Cuban reciprocity and Panama
canal treaties will be ratified by the
senate at the present session. and each
davis delay in acting upon them Is In
creasing the probability OF an extraor-
dinary session of the senate In the
event OF failure OF either one or both
of the treaties. So far as can be as
certained. the president has not deter
mined on any date for the opening on
the extra session II one should De
called but 1t is regarded as likely
that It will be practically right after
the close of the present session. 1t is
boned by the administration what Is
regarded as necessary legislation for
the Philippines may be enacted by the
congress. In this direction the presi-
dent and Secretary Root earnestly de-
a,re that the senate should connrm
the appointment of officers who have
heen named for the regular army es-
tablishment.

CONVICT KILLS JAILER
DESPERATE DEED OF CHRIST
BENSON AT OLYMPIA, Wash.
Tho shsrin's wife, With = Pistol In
Hand, PIuckIIy Prevents the Other
Prisoners From Escaping.

Christ Benson, grand larceny pris-
oner In jail at Olympia, Wash, or
Sunday afternoon killed Jailer David
Morrell and made his escape. Benson
left open the inner and outer doors
OF the jail. Mrs. Jessie Mills, wife OF
the sheriff, arrived on the scene with a
revolver In time to present seven pris-
oners from gaining their liberty. Ben
son, who was logger, was accused OF
stealing s45 from his partner, pleaded
guilty, and about a week ago was SEN
fenced to one years imprisonment and
was In Jail waiting to be transported
to the penitentiary. Saturday night,
the steel tank being crowded, Benson,
who was considered a quiet prisoner
was placed In an ante-room OF the
main entrance Of the jail. In the night
Benson wrenched loose piece OF lead
drain pipe, and concealed 1t In his
clothing. About 2 o'clock Sunday
afternoon Jailer Morrell gave the prls-
oners their midday meal in the main
corridor, and then started to lock all
but Benson and trusty named Kahls
into the steel tank He had his back
to Benson and was locking the door
when Benson struck him on the head.
The door Of the corridor was open
and Benson ran out into the main en-
trance with the jailer in pursuit. Ben
son failed to get the outer door open
and the two men clinched in the main
entrance. 1t is supposed that Morrell
drew his revolver and that Benson
succeeded in getting it away. There
was a desperate fight, In which Nor
rell was truck on the head four times
with the pipe, shot in the body twice
and through the head once, and left
lying dead on the floor. Benson got
the outer door open, and, covered with
blood, ran up one Of the main resi-
dence streets Of the town and disap-
peared in the brush.

Organization.


Another protest against the seating
Of Senator-elect Smoot has been fled.
It was signed by the secretary
of the ter-Denominational Council OF
Women for Christian and Patriotic
Services. Although not sworn to, the
protest states, however, that the mat
ters contained therein can be estab

protest alleges, among other things,
that Smoot Is a member and officer OF
q secret. oath-bound organization,
which has for one of its purposes the
suoversion Of the government OF the
United States and its conversion into
a theocracy, and violation OF Its laws
even to the commission Of immoral
or criminal acts; that as a member OF
this, he is subservient to the will OF its
leaders in matters both religious and
temporal. The protest further alleges
that Smoot was elected to the senate
because of his membership and office
in said organization.

Navesink Bank Wreck Develops New
Things Every Day.

Red Bank. n. J., Aug. 20.-The invest
igation of the affairs of the wrecked
Navesink National bank through the al
legged embezzlement of $40. 900 by Cashier
Enoch L. Coward brings new develop
ments every day. James Conover, a.
wealthy farmer of Holmdel, went to the
bank to draw out Long Branch water
bonds, valued at $1,000. The bonds were
kept in an envelope with some bank
stock certificates owned by the same
man. The certificates were intact, but
the water bonds had been removed AMI
could not be found. Mr.. Conover sought
legal assistance in an effort to recover
the securities.
The affairs of the defunct bank are in
very bad condition, and Receiver w.
A. Mason and his assistants are work
ing night and day to get definite state
ment of its condition. There is no like
lihood of a statement being made before
the end of the present week. The bank
was declared insolvent at 10 o'clock
Friday morning but considerable money
was deposited after that hour. Today
the receiver posted a notice that depos-
it's received after that hour would be
returned on application. The accused
cashier was here but he would make
no statement. He was bonded for $2O,-
600 in a surety company.

MORE ACUTE.
Chinese Situation Is Viewed
With Alarm at Berlin.

Berlin. Aug. 2O.-The rising in Mace
donia is regarded here as bringing on
darker stage. The Instruction is TAX
ing on proportions unexpected by the
German diplomatic agents. Bulgarian
feeling. excited by the murders and tor
lures, across the border, is less restrain
able by the Bulgarian government and
the movements of the Russian and Brit
ish fleets add to the nervousness on the
bourse and among traders and bankers
owning Turkish railroad shares or hav-
ing commercial interests in Turkey.
The German government maintains it's
passive attitude, with the desire to join
the other powers in any communica-
tions to Turkey or Bulgaria designed to
prevent war and tending to confine the
disturbance to an instruction which
Turkey must suppress.
A dispatch to the Cologne Gazette
from ST. Petersburg, dated yesterday,
says:
The situation in the far east is becom-
ing more acute. Even in Manchuria
the Chinese are assuming an insolent
attitude towards the Russians, partic-
ularly towards the troops. At one place
stones were thrown at the commander
of the troops. While all Russians are
the objects of insult. spirit of opposi-
ton to the Chinese government is also
manifested.

ELECTRICITY GAVE LIFE.
Child Which Apparently Died Soon
Saved by New Method.

Detroit, Aug. 20.-Dr. James Brien of
Essex Canada. a few days ago, by
means of electricity. was successful in
restoring to life a child which had ap-
parently died shortly after birth. The
doctor tells the following story of the
achievement:
My partner. DIR. Doyle and myself
noticed Immediately after birth slight
pulsations in the form of the infant, but
they gradually grew fainter and faint
er. until not a sign of life remained.
In the mean time we had resorted to all
the known methods of science, such as
dipping the child in warm and cold
water and rubbing its body with sweet
oil.
"All these remedies failed to revive
the apparently lifeless babe, and we
had almost given up hope when it oc
CURED to me to make test of the
merits of electricity as a last resort. 1
had never heard of any such expert
ment being made. and only decided to
try it when I was certain the last spark
Of life had fed, and that the electric
current could at least do no harm.
1T was fully fifteen minutes after
birth before the first current was en-
pIoyed. For the first ten minutes there
was no sign of life. At the end of fif-
teen minutes, during which applications
of both the galvanic and faradic cur
rents had been made. the infant dis
played slight evidences of life. We in
creased the current persistently and in
ten minutes more were rewarded by
seeing the child breathing naturally.
The heart began to pulsate slowly but
regularly, and soon took on its normal
action
"The child is now doing we'll I am
prepared to prove these facts by sworn
testimony"
DR.. Brien is one of the oldest practic-
ing physicians in Western Ontario. He
has represented Essex county in parlia-
ment, at Ottawa, for several pears.
