General Miles gave an interest
ing interview to representative of
the Omaha Bee. The general said
that his recent trip to the Philip
pines had convinced him that it ia
a mistaken to hold on to those isl
ands; that conditions there are not
such as are favorable to American
colonization. The general further
said: "rhe islands are densely
populated and the population is
congestcd to degree that is hard
for the Americans not familiar with
the situation to understand. Aside
from the expense aud inconveni-
ence of the situation, the matter
involves n policy that is, ] think,
against our best interests. We are

ASPHALT PAYMENTS.

Cities that have had the best success
with asphalt pavemets are those which
have used specifications calling only
for standard brands of asphalt and
which have given contracts to expert
enced and responsible asphalt paving
companies that are in the business to
stay and have . reputation for first
class work. 1t is the interest Of such
companies to advance the industry by
doing the best work and laying pave
ments which act as missionaries for
other pavements yet to come. The
standard brands Of asphalt are supplied
upon the open market to contractors
OF ability, experience and financial
standing, with whom 1t is always
safe for city to deal. Tho new and
experimental brands Of asphalt can
usually be found In the hands Of men
with little experience IN tho asphalt

Russia is friendly to the United

of what the Philippine archipelago

Of the islands is not likely to bring
with it any positive advantage to
the United States and they will al

We have received the new cata
logue Of the Louisiana State Uni
versity and Agricultural and Me-
chanical College at Baton Rouge
1t is elegantly printed and beauti.
fully illustrated, and its contents
show many improvements in thai
great institution Of learning.
We note that Notwithstanding
the addition Of two years the age to
limit of admission, the University
enrolled 424 young men last SEES
sion. They came not only from
all sections Of Louisiana but from
eighi other states and seven foreign
countries, thus producing a oosmo-
politan atmosphere that tends to
enlarge the outlook and broaden
the mind of the student.
The courses OF study, 10 annOunC-
ed for the coming session, have
been carefully revised 90 a. to bring
them more in keeping with the
specializing tendencies Of the age,
and two courses have been added,
an Electrical Engineering course
and short course Ia Agriculture.
The Hill Memorial Library, the
new Mechanical Workshop, and
the new Laboratory FOR Physics,
Electricity, and Civil Engineering
havs bsen completed and the Uni
versity will have its own electric

of this advantage Of asphalt It is
impervious to moist ure, bacteria, and
vermin. It presents smooth, un-
broken surface to which nothing can
cling, and it is eaisly thoroughly and
economically cleaned. When washed,
all disease germs are carried away by
the sewers. A city can be thus freed
from any danger of disease bred from
the putrid matter held in the inters-
tices Of the best jointed pavements.
In economy of cleaning asphalt holds
the advantage. 1t has clean, nm
broken surface, over which power
sweepers may be sent and all the filth
and dust gathered up. It can be
cleaned in the daytime most economi-
cally by the policing system. Under

point of beauty it must be acknow-
lodged that an asphalt pavement adds
more to the attractiveness which con
tinues. The color is pleasant to the
eye. and it is such as to sci off best
the lawns and trees and houses with
which the street may be lined. In a
business street asphalt adds to the
architectural beauty and general aes-
thetic scheme more than auyother
pavement. Asphalt streets have Il
direct influence upon the people. Most
men take pride in keeping their homes

in this direction has been very strong
1T induces people to keep their vchi-
cles in good shape because they know
the vehicles are not to be injured over
the asphalt. This influence, of course,
is produced by great many street i'm
provements and other pavements, but
by none to so great an extent as as
phalt. The clean, uniform contour
of the street is effective for beauty
and imperceptibly adjacent lawns and
houses are influenced to correspond
