IN CHARGE OF CENSUS WORK.
No Serious Opposition Encountered in
 Larger Islands.

San Francisco, Oct S.-General J. P. Sanger former chief of staff of Gen eral Chaffee, but 1atterly in charge of the census work in the Philippines, has arrived from Manila on his way to Washington.
 The census taking began on March Z and in six weeks it was completed. Two months preparatory work was necessary before the task was under taken. 1t was accomplished with the assistance of 1000 enumerators, and the government to-day is in possession of 100000 names, representing the civilized portion of the native poprla- tion of the islands By carefully com piled figures the uncivilized population is placed at about GOO, 900.
 In discussing the work, General San- ger said: There was no serious oppo- sition encountered in any of the larger islands, and this was especially true of Samar and Leyte, where there was no interference whatever with the enumerators.
 ''In the Island of Gamaguin, north of the province of Misamis, Mindanio, the enumerators were threatened and opposed, and 1t was necessary to use force, but Governor Corrales thought the demonstration had other objects in view and that the census merely precipitated the movement.
 "Vicious people in Cebu spread a re- port that taxation was the real pur- pose in taking the census and in two Or three barrios of that pueblo some objection was made to it."

NO NINE HOUR DAY HIRE.
Employees of Rogers & Brother
 Received Answer To-Day

This Action Was Decided Upon at
 Meeting of Directors Yesterday
 What Action Men Will Take on Re
 fusal is Not Known at This Time.
 The request of the employees of Bog CTS x Brother on Silver street for ninerhour day, commencing January l, 1904, has been refused. The em- ployes of the shop were informed this morning that the company would not grant their request for 8 nine-hour day.
 The local silver shop is one of a number of shops under the manage ment of the International Silver Go. If the company has seen fit to refuse the request of the employees of the local concern, the requests of the employees of the other concerns in other cities have undoubtedly been refused.
 The request of the employees of the shops managed by the International Silver Go for nine-hour day is only a part of a gigantic nine -hour-day move ment by employees of silver shops throughout the country. They are act ing according to a vote passed at the recent national convention of the In- fernational Buffers and Polishers' union.
 It is not known what will be the eff feet of the company's refusal to grant the employees of Rogers & Brother a nine-h hour day. Futureaction will proba- bly, depend upon what the employees of the silver concerns in other cities do.
 Meriden. Oct S.-At the headquar- ters of the National Silver Go here to- day it was stated that an answer to the demands of the metal workers had been given to the committee but the officials refused to say what the nature of the answer was. From the actions of the committee, however, there is ev- cry reason to believe that the answer was not a favorable one. It is ex- pected meeting of the leaders of the Fedora tion of Labor will be held with in few days. It is the general opin- ion that there will be no strike as re- suit of the refusal.
 Wallingford, Oct S.-The officials of the three factories here of the Interna- Honal Silver Go to-day notified com mittee of the metal workers, who had made a demand for a nine-hour day with ten hours pay, that the demand would not be granted. It is under stood the independent factories here will follow the action of the Interna- tdonal Silver Go officials.

English Government Must Seek
 Aid From irish
NEW CABINET IS A WEAK ONE

Nov Particularly Interested in the Fiscal Policy-Concerned More About Reform in Ireland-Last Day for Arguments on Alaskan Boundary Hearing Dickinson's Able Argument Was Concluded This Afternoon.
 London, Oct S-Irish Nationalist opinion of Premier Balfour's recon Structed cabinet is voiced in q tele- gram from John Redmond, the Irish leader, to the Associated Press, as fol- lows:
 Dublin, Oct 8, 1903.
 t'The reconstructed cabinet is in its personnel incomparably weaker than it was. No new man of any mark has been added to it. Arnold-F Foster is careful and industrious, but, he. is a most commonplace official.
 "Alfred Lyttleton is entirely un- known outside of the cricket field.
 t'Austen Chamber.air's promotion to the chancellorshIp would under any other circumstances be denounced as a job; but, it is rightly regarded as an audacious, characteristic maneuver of his father to gain kudos from his re- signation and at the same time keep his grip on the cabinet.
 Tt goes without saying that the government cannot last. The deser- ton of the Duke of Devonshire gave it its knockout blow. Whether it will meet parliament in January or not Is very doubtful. But if it does, l be 'lieve it will not last week unless the Irish party comes to it's rescue. We are not overmuch concerned in the merits of it's fiscal policy, What we are concerned about is reform of the abuses in Ireland and the restoration of our national government, and We do not very much care from which English party we obtain our rights.
 we stand to win, however the situa. ton develops. From now onward believe we shall hold the balance of power in the house of commons.
 .sSigned. JOHN REDMOND"
 London. Oct S.-The last day of the pubMc hearing of the arguments before the Alaskan boundary commission opened with practically no spectators present Jacob NJ Dickinson of Amer iean counsel continued his speech fol Americas '.unbroken claim or title" tc the disputed coast. Mir Dickinson made forcible plea that all the evidence es taD1ished the fact that the boundary should be drawn around the heads of the bays and inlets..
 When MT Dickinson has concluded this afternoon the commission will ad journ until Monday, when 1t will holc its first private session to consider its verdict.
 MT Dickinson, continuing, contend ed that the correspondence between the governments which British coun sel relied on to establish their, position showed that Canada and Great Britain had never, formally or otherwise, pro tested against the occupation of the in lets by the United States. On the con trary. although all the questions nov at issuS had been discussed by Cana dian officials in their reports. the! were not adopted by either the gov erf1ment of Canada or the governmen of Great Britain, and these questions though raised in 1886. were not ad vanced by. Great Britain until 1898.
