THE FRIAR LANDS.
Settlement of This Question Will be
Made by Governor Taft.

Washington, November 11.-Ad
from Manila indicate that before he
sails for the United States on De-
cember 23rd, Governor Taft will
have succeeded in settling one of the
most vexatious problems connected
with the acquisition of the Philip
pines, namely the adjustment of the
claims of the Friars for their extern
sive property holdings in the islands.
The main obstacle TO settlement
appears to have been an issue be-
tween the papal delegates and the re
ligiOuS orders, as to the proportion
of the purchase money to be paid by
the inSular government, that was to
be turned over to Rome. The Friars
naturally desired to receive the ma
jor part of the allotment and when
they learned that the church insist
ed upon a certain sum, they sought
to make good their own property by
increasing the sum total of the price
demanded for the lands. This ran
the total up to about S14 100000, a
sum entirely beyond any figure which
the insular government was willing
to consider. Realizing that with
Governor Taft's departure the
chances of a settlement would be-
come more remote, and suffering
from the deprivation of their lands
without compensation, month after
month, the church authorities have,
it is learned. brought pressure to
bear upon the FriarS. with the. re-
suit that the insular government ex-
poets to be able to asquire their en-
tire holdings in the Philippines for
a sum approximating $6,OOO,0OO.

LANGLEY'S MEN INSPECT
MYSTERIOUS STAKES
Early Attempt to Launch the Buzzard
Anticipated.

Underwater, Va, July 2s.-Lang-
ley's assistants last night made a
descent upon the Maryland and Virginia
shores for the purpose OF examining the
stakes which they drove into the ground
several days, ago. Boarding the tug ID
NJ. Key. they steamed slowly along the
river banks. landing members of the
party In a small boat TO make The in
spection.
The object of these stakes Is not def
nitely known, but it is supposed that
they Will play a part in the coming
tests. This is the first time that the
tug has made a night trip OF this kind
and 4 is thought that this activity fore
shadows an early test of the bird"
Little work is being done on the out
side Of the ark. though what goes on
inside the Buzzard no one knows TX
cept the scientists. The men have
knocked OF work early the last few
days and returned to the island club.
1t is though that the trial of the air
ship will undoubtedly be made within
the next few days. perhaps as soon
as the weather conditions are favorable

DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Bear Influence Suppressed in Market for the Present and
Prices Gradually Advancing-G Feel
ing of Relief Prevails.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Further prog
ress toward a recovery in prices was
made on the stock exchange this morn
ing. The good feeling which set In yes
terday was again apparent today. No
failures were announced In the early
hours, though the expectation that other
houses will go down has not entirely
died away. Rumor was still busy with
the names OF several firms. For the
moment, however, these firms have tlded
over their c.hhculties, as all checks
were returned o. K in the stock eX-
change clearing house this morning.
Values on the stock exchange for the
first hour showed generally a~higher
range. Should this condition continue
the reported embarrassment of the
houses In trouble will disappear.
Financial men of prominence declare
that the tide has now turned and that
values will rise slowly but steadily. a
more confident air prevailed in Wall
Street today than for some time past.
Although there was considerable ir-
regularity at the opening OF the stock
market, the average was higher and
the tone good. Most OF the declines in
the International list accorded closely
with London quotations. The greatest
strength was in wabash preferred. which
rose rs on purchase OF 1900 shares.
