Probably Wants to Finish His Work in the Philippines. @
 Manila, Aug 13.-Governor-G G General William H. Taft refused to discuss yes terday his probable appointment as the successor of Secretary Root when the latter retires, saying he had not yet been offered the appointment. It is geenrally believed here that Governor Taft does not wish to leave the Philip pines, until numerous problems now pending are solved. The situation is beginning to show the results pledged for the up-building of the Filipinos, whose devotion to and faith in Gov ernor Taft are remarkable. It is known in any event that Governor Taft does not desire to leave before next Febru- ary. but it is thought he is ready to obey President Roosevelt's wishes, though his departure would cause a sacrifice. Tn the meantime it is stated that relatives and friends are constant ly urging him to return to the main land. Governor Taft is now enjoying excellent health, though after living nearly four years in the tropics he is liable to a recurrence of dysentery.
 Governor Taft is now personally for mulating measures of the utmost i'm portance to the islands. The rumor of the probable retirement of Governor Taft is agitating the archipelago and the provincials join the Filipino press in begging him to remain.

FOREIGNERS IN FIGHT.
The Battles Took Place in Saloons and
 - in the Street.

in the Street.
 Chicago, Aug 13.-More than a score of men have been arrested for 1ntlct- ing severe injuries on at least hall dozen men in a fierce fight at Whit ing, Ind, the trouble being an out growth of a factional quarrel between members of the Slavic races, laborers for the Standard Oil Go. Warrants for IA others will be served to-day.
 The riot was the culmination of a series of battles, in several of which serious injuries were sustained. The police cannot learn the cause of the quarrel. They understand it origin ated in Europe, and that the Slavs are fighting for principle.
 On one side are Servians, Hungari- ans and Croatians. On the other side are those designated only by the gen. eric name. t.
 Following several battles in saloons and at picnics, a party of Slavs and another of the allied races met yester- day in Schraag avenue, in a street di- viding the settlements. Scores en- gagged in battle and hundreds watched the fight. The police made a dozen arrests, and a number of the Servian faction were arrested later on war rants.

SUES A UNION PR1NTEB
Typographical Error in New Orleans
 Charged Up to the Typesetter.

TgTecraphical Error in New Orleans
 Charged Up to the Typesetter. New Orleans, Aug 13.-Typographi- cal union No 1T (New Orleans) IS stirred up over the decision of Judge Downing in the First City court in the case of the Daily News against R. Wal kin. and will carry it up to the United States supreme court, if possible. Will kin, who is a union printer, in setting up a bank statement for the News got a figure wrong The bank re- fused to pay for the advertisement : because of the error, whereupon the News charged Willlin the full value of the advertisement and took the amount out of his pay
 The printers in the News office at once struck and the News surrendered. The owners, however. brought suit against Wilkin for damages, which was fixed at the value of the adver- tisement lost through Wilkins typo graphical error. The typographical union defended the suit.
 Judge Downing gave the News iudc- ment for the full amount claimed with costs. In rendering the Judgment the judge declared that the with drawal by the News of the claim against Wilkin in the face of a strike and a settlement made under such CO., ercion did not act as an estoppa. The president of the union announces frs purpose to fight the matter to the bit ter end.

NO SETTLEMENT REACHED.
Buffers Are Still Out What Caused
 the Strike.

the Strike.
 There have been no changes in the strike situation in the bufhng depart ment of the Waterbury Clock Co, ana it is likely that none will take place for some days, at all events. The press committee of the men on sT1ke gave out the following this forenoon:
 ssWe struck because we did not wish to work with Joseph Downs. He is a very disa agreeable man to work with and makes it his business to make It as unpleasant as he can to his fellow workers. Eight months ago he was discharged from the buffing depart ment of this company and the repre- sentatives of the company at that time said as much as that he would never again be employed there.
 "A short time ago Downs and an- other. man tried to negotiate with the New Haven Clock Go to do certain work flor p per cent less than was X then paid for it; that is, he negotiated foG the contract, with two other men, to do this work for the figure named z [. Downs is not 8 competent work man. His sight is defective, and per feet sight is necessary to do first class buff1ng ~ EsWe believe that Downs and a man named Hayes, now in the employ of the company, have determined to try to drive all union men out of the Wa terbury Clock factory Representa- tives of the company have said that Hayes is not a good workman, yet he is retained in the company's employ.
 "A short time ago we had small grievance and Superintendent Larkin said then that he would muzzle Hayes He also said at that time that he would not discriminate between union and non-uniOn men, He has failed to keep that promise
 F "For the past six weeks the com. pany has been discharging men who have for years been employed in the buffing department, and filling their places with non-union men. Their reason for so doing is that the men were incompetent, yet some of the men have been in the companys employ two years and some of them as long as eight years. They also say that the men lost time. One of them lost a day and half since last september,
 Some of the men in MT Joy's de- partment were moved down stairs and the reason given for this was that there was not power enough to carry all ot the men in that department. A ieW days later non-union men were taken on in their places.''

In the early morning he has some lively turns with, his sparring partners, Sam Berger and Tank Ken ney, to keep himself in form, and, those who have seen him recently say that he shows up in point of physical skill and endurance as well as he ever did. Jeffries, who has now practically. end ed his training, is resting quietly in Oakland. He is in fine condition and will do just enough work from now on until the day of the fight to keep him. self in condition.
 Bets still continue to be made with Jeffries the favorite at to 1. and the betting comparatively light. Owing to the methods of Jeffries's trainers. who avoided all vitality-sapping work in heavy clothing. the champion will prob ably enter the ring heavier than eyeF before.
