GIFTS FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
Probable That the Regulations Will Be
Changed to Fit Conditions.

Officers of the War Department have
been looking into the regulations relating to
the sending of gifts from the Philippines to
the United States without payment of duty.
The present regulations provide that such
gifts must be indorsed as such by some
commissioned officer of the government.
AS far as the army is concerned this re-
quirement is easy of compliance, for there
are always commissioned officers at hand.
But with civilian employees it is different,
as only few civilians in the Philippines
hold commissions from the President. Then,
again, very few soldiers send such gifts,
most of them being sent by civilians.
Gen. Hump hrey, who was chief quarter
master at Manila for several years, says
that few such gifts are sent by soldiers,
and, in fact, that very little in the way of
gifts are sent from the Philippines now.
There are not many things in the islands
suitable for gifts. The bolo trade has de-
veloped into farce, as bolos are now being
made out of railroad iron to be sold as
souvenirs. In China there is a great deal
that is wanted, and the transports that
brought the troops and supplies from China
carried many gifts sent home by the SOL
diers and civilians. 1t is probable that the
regulations will be changed for the benefit
of civilian employees in the Philippines.

GENERAL NAVAL STAFF.
Features of the Plan Favored by Rep
resentative Dayton.

Representative Dayton of West Virginia,
who will probably be a member of the
House committee on naval affairs in the
next Congress, has a plan Of his own for
the establishment of general staff of the
navy, which is in the nature of a compro-
mise between other plans having the same
end in view. Mr.. Dayton will embody his
scheme in a bill to be introduced at the
next session. The bill will provide for the
appointment of three vice admirals, to COM
mand the Atlantic, Pacific and Asiatic
squadrons, who shall compose the basis of
the general staff. These three officers are
to be selected by the President from men
in active service holding ranks above that
of four years as vice admirals at an an
nual salary of $4,000. At the end Of the
four years service vice admiral each is
to be returned to the rank which he would
hold at that time in the ordinary course Of
promotion. The rank of vice admiral there
fore is to be temporary.
Mr.. Dayton thinks the adoption of his
scheme will be satisfactory to all con-
cerned and will materially increase the
efficiency of the navy. In discussing the
subject recently he said:
Such appointments for naval officers
will tend to advance the standard Of eff
cheney, unusual honor will be held
out constantly to all officers from the rank
of commander up. The selections of vice
admiral are to be made purely upon merit,
the active service records of officers being
the basis for their choice. The result
would be that officers generally would
strive hard for appointment. They would
be furnished with an incentive to wsrk
harder and sea service applications would
be encouraged, as one of the requisites for
selection would be a good record upon wa
ter. 1 hope to push my proposition through
during the first regular session of Con-
greSS.

That the practice of the executive depart
ments is not uniform in the matter Of clos
ing at 8 o clock Saturdays is shown by the
fact that the Treasury. Post Office. State and
Justice departments close at that hour and
the War. Navy. Interior and Agricultural
departments do not do 80. 1t is understood,
however. that the Interior and Agricultural
departments are likely to adopt the early
closing movement, except in the possible
event that the President and cabinet con-
clude to adopt the view of the Secretaries
Of War and Navy that 1t would be a viola
ton of law.

CLAIM FOR SALVAGE.
Secretary Of the Navy Authorized to
Adjust It.

A salvage claim for 60. 500 sterling having
been entered at the Navy Department by
the Dutch steamship Beta against the
United States naval collier Alexander, the
Secretary of the Navy has been authorized

Although the Navy Department is not in

sented by the Beta, 1t is authorized to come
to agreement with the owners of that
vessel and pay whatever salvage is deter
mined to be proper consideration for the
services rendered.

Prof. kossel of the imperial health office
report the results Of the prolonged exper,-

injecting calves with human tuberculosis

forms OF introducing tubercIe baciln in

preliminary report covers only the first
form but the experiments with the other
forms continue
The commission decided to attempt the
lnoculatfon of calves not with matter taken
ulrectiy from human victims, but with cul-
lures made therefrom. The experimenta-
uon covered thirty-nine separate cultures
twenty-three from adults and sixteen from
children. The results were that nineteen
caves simultaneously treated did not show
the slightest effect. nine showed after four
months the slightest changes of condition

STARTED THE DAY WELL.
The Pope's Attendants Renew Hope
Relapse in Afternoon.

ROME. July 9-Since his illness the pope
had not begun day so satisfactorily as
this. Indeed hopes Of his recovery reach
ed such a point to make the general
public believe the pontiff might soon be
out of danger. No better synthesis Of this
view could be given than in the words
DR.. Lapponi uttered on leaving the sick
room at about noon, that. although he did
not yet dare to hope, he had perhaps ceas-
ed to despair.
This promising outlook, however, was
followed by the startling announcement that
the pope had been attacked with diarrohea,
apparently caused by the large quantity
of food he had taken. and that a consult
ing physician had been sent for.
The patient when he began the DAY
showed once more his iron. mountaipeer
fiber by rising and dressing almost without
assistance, walking across the room to his
arm chair, and having his toilet fully per-
formed, even to the detail Of being shaved
Throughout this procedure the pope
showed no sign of being exhausted. Indeed,
he jokingly alluded to the amount of nour-
ishment which was being imposed upon
him and said: Il ought to grow fat. as ]
have never had in my life as much as get
now"
This buoyancy of spirits was considered
to be one of the principal co-efhcients in
the struggle with death which this ad-
mirable old man has made In the last
seven days.
The doctors, previous to the alarming at
tack of this afternoon. said there was not
the slightest diminution in the acuteness Of
the pontiff's mental faculties, as shown this
morning in a remarkable manner. when the
pope insisted on going over some of the
larger questions of church policy laid be-
fore him by Cardinal Rampclla, the papal
secretary Of state.
At about 3 O'Clock in the afternoon, al
though no worse. the pope was not reported
to be any better, and then came the news
of the pontiff sudden relapse and of the
sending for a consulting physician.
Pope Awoke Refreshed.
By special favor the correspondent Of the
Associated Press here was allowed this
morning to visit the papal apartments.
where he had an interview on the situa-
ton with parsonage who is better in
formed than any one else, but who. from
motives easily understood. does not wish
his name mentioned. He said:

BAD EFFECT ON GERMAN TRADE,
New Meat Law q Serious Burden on
Dealers

BERLIN, July 9.-The German meat law.
which went into effect in April. is having
more serious consequences commercially
than anticipated. AS the regulations re-
quire the inspection Of meats and lard to
take place in bonded warehouses before
export and the inspection fees are heavy
the German merchants complain that they
are placed at a great disadvantage in tran
sit trade.
They had hitherto supplied Austria and
Switzerland with American meats and lard,
sending directly from the bonded ware
houses without expense. Since the meat
law has been applied. however the Belgian
and Dutch shippers are getting all the
Austrian and Swiss trade. and Germany
is losing the transit profits. The German
shippers. therefore, are calling loudly for
the abolition of the inspection require
ments in the case of export goods.
