He STOLE THE MONEY.
But That Is Not What Gomez
Is Punished For.

Manila, Sept. 29.-Judge Sweeney in
sentencing Diminador Gomez 10 26
months imprisonment and fine of
$500 for founding seditious organiza-
ton recited the fact that out of some
$4,000 collected by the Union Obrero
only $4,000 had been accounted for by
Gomez In addition to this he had sold
stock in the concern, knowing very well
that the union was insolvent. The real
object of the cOnspirators, he said, was
the overthrow of the government and to
assist the Ladrones in their raids in the
northern provinces. The Filipino asses
sors in dissenting from the action Of the
court. maintained that faulty trans
laticn of the discriminating evidence had
led to an unjust conclusion of facts.

Of the strikingly characteristic kind.

Of the strikingly characteristic kind.
The understanding is that the presi-
dent will throw out the idea that the
time is coming when tariff schedules
must be revised, but will not say when
that time will arrive. The deliverances
on this subject will be nothing like as
positive as those of year ago, when
the president rather freely discussed
the "readjustment" of tariff schedules.
He then advocated reciprocity treaties
as one manner of readjustment of
tariff schedules and said that when
changes could be made this way, then
they can be made outright by the low
ering of the duties on given pro-
duct"
Currency Reform.
The president will again recommend
proper reform in the currency system of
the country so as to meet the needs of
business. He made recommendations
along this line year ago and will repeat
them in more detail this year. He has
discussed that subject with all the
finance experts of the republican party
and will continue his talks with them.
The president will suggest legislation by
congress that will furnish the country
with currency that will admit, of ad-
justment to all conditions. j
Philippines and the Navy.
The government of the Philippines will
come in for a goodly share of the mes
sage. The president is gathering through

Of the situation in the islands. He will
dwell upon the fact that the people are
at peace and that business is becoming
better and confidence more widespread
among all classes. e : r5s{.# -,I
A large navy, will again be a. theme
Of the presidents message He will dis
cuss what he regards as the increasing
efficiency Of the navy as illustrated in the
maneuvers that are annually held. He
will declare that there should be no halt
in the building up Of the navy, and will
urge congress to be liberal and progress
Bive in this respect.
The Scandals.
The postoflce and other government
scandals will be discussed in the message
and the president will point out just what
was done and the intention Of the admin
istration to prosecute all offenders to the
bitter end.
The needs Of the Indians in the west
and the necessity Of additional legisla-
ton for safety appliances on railroads
will be among the other questions dis
