MAKING PROGRESS
Good Work Being Done By Philippine
Colonies
REPORT MADE BY COL. EDWARDS
Tie Says These Islands VIII Make a
Most Interesting Showing at the
St. Louis Exposition.

Washington, Speciality develop
meut of the Philippine Islands during
the past year. together with a review
of pending questions OF importance in
relation to the archipelago. is contain
cd in tho annual report OF Colonel
Clarence II. Edwards. chief of the
bureau of insular affairs of the War
Department. made public Sunday. The
accomplishment OF greatest Importance
to the islands during the year has been
the successful launching OF the new
fiscal system. By January |. next. the
new system will be in complete opera
tion. The new circulating medium
consists OF $4,000 900 pesos and frac-
tional silver coins and 10000. 900 pesos
in paper money. To establish the new
system and purchase the silver for
coinage issues OF bonds were made of
$4,000. 900 each. both of which were
sold at n premium. The proceeds of
the sale OF these bonds were deposited
and drew interest at the rate OF 3le per
cent SO that the government actually
made money by going into debt
Colonel Edwards emphasizes the ne
ccssity Of n reduction OF the Dingley
tariff rates for the announcement of
Eade between the United States and
the Philippines. There is an active de-
sire on the part OF Philippine CONNER
cial interests, he says. for tariff con-
ccSsions. and the report states that the
Same desire also has been evinced by
the Same interests in this country. The
chief exports of the islands to the
United states are sugar, tobacco, hemp
and coffee. The latter two commodi-
tics already are on the free list.
The education Of Filipino youths in
the country for the purpose Of making
them the future teachers Of the native
schools OF the islands has begun under
an act passed last summer by the in
sular government. Ninety eight young
Eilipinos are now on their way to this
country for that purpose. They will
attend the grammar schools OF south
cru California during the winter and in
The spring be distributed through the
Middle-west and Eastern portion Of the
United States for further instruction.
Colonel Edwards optimistically pre-
diets that the Philippine exhibit at the
st. Louis Exposition will he the fea-
ture OF that show. There are to be
something like 200 Filipino partici-
pants. and every phase Of native indus
try and domestic life IN the islands Is

.GlRCUMST AVCES
EXAGGERATED
CONCERNING THE DEATH AND
BURIAL OF MRS. EDINGER, CRIT
les NOT BEING WELL M
FORMED.
Advancement Were Ample and Complete,
and Nothing Unusual or Extraordi-
nary Occurred m the Matter

-.
The circumstance surrounding the
death and burial of the wife of Igratius
lcdinger seem to have been very much
exaggerated by persons who were not
familiar with the custom of her nation
atty. Some OF the details were also mis-
construed, as well as misrepresented. It
appears that nothing out of the usual
happened, when the customs of that ma
tionaIity are considered, although but
few know what those customs are That
the husband should assist in carrying the
BODY to the hearse and helping to con-
sign it to the grave is a custom with
some of them and perfectly proper, since
It conforms with their belief and GUS
tom. It appears from statements by
those in position to know that the under
takers provided ample means for caring
for the body and conveying it to the
crave. a sufficient number of pail bear
ers having been provided, and there was
nothing extraordinary or out OF the way,
according to the custom of the deceased
woman's nationality for the husband to
assist. although that was wholly un-
necessary 50 far as actual need was con-
earned. 1t also appears that the Cath
Ole minister d1d not helP " SOnS
coffin to the hearse or eonsign it to the
grave, although the husband, observing
the custom, did assist. Again, it is stat
ed that there were, besides the three
women who were called in, several others
at the funeral service in the house, al
tl,ongh some make the representation
that there were not any besides the three
women. The peculiar custom of that
nationality seems to have caused the
gossip. tending to cast reflections on
innocent people and to do harm when
there was really no occasion for remarks
or comments on the incident. Reference
is again made to it, that there may be
no false impression made by misrePre-
sentatios based on INSTRUMENTATION and
lack of familiarity with the situation.
