Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is

PHILIPPINE Isl ANDS
A GOOD INVESTMENT
Greater Source of Wealth Than India to England

Capt. L. c. Schilling, who has Just re-
turned to Washington after spending
several years in the Philippines. is en-
thusiastic over the future OF the archi
pelago and it's value to the United States.
He landed at Seattle, Wash, and trav-
eled south as far as Los Angeles, and
taking the Southern Pacific there he
stopped in Texas, his native State. on
the way to Washington.
Captain Schilling declared that the
Philippines will eventually prove a
source of greater riches to the United
States than India has proved to Great
Britain. The mineral wealth of the
islands. he says. while still undeveloped,
is enormous. The vast forests will
furnish one of the principal industries
OF the islands. while sugar-raising In
the country. and tea and coffee on the
hill sides will make the islands a great
agricultural country.
AS far as the climate is concerned,
Captain Schilling says that while the
lower parts of the islands are at times
unhealthy, the climate in the plateaus
and in the hills is delightful. He pre-

in the hills. and run into town and out

The natives OF the islands are we'll
satisfied to be under the American flag.
In fact. the islands were subJugated be-
fore the capture of Aguinaldo. The ma
tives are lazy and have always led q
kind of hand-to- mouth life, but Captain
Schiiling thinks that they are bright
and can be taught to work; I'm fact. he
is in favor of not only excluding Chi
nese immigration. but also OF getting
rid of the present large Chinese popGla~

Captain Schilling went first to the
Philippines during McKinley's Admin,s-
tration, In the employ of the Government
as special agent. He has also visited

becomes Immediately apparent when
tell you that we are now receiving from
the same bidders and for the same land
bids varying from so to $50 per cent in
advance of the prices previously Of
fered."
Concerning the Dawes Commission.
With regard to the allegations that
members Of the Dawes Commission were
themselves interested In companies
whose sole profit must be made at the
expense OF the Indians. Secretary Hitch
cock said those charges are exceedingly
grave.
The members of the Dawes Commits
sion have been appointed by the Presi-
dent" he added, "and are presumably
gentlemen. We certainly have no evil
dence to the contrary. However. these
charges will. of course. be brought 10
their attention"
With regard TO District Attorney So
per, the Secretary remarked that he
could not with propriety discuss that
subject. as Mr.. Soper was an employe OF
the Department OF Justice and IN no way
responsible to the Department OF the
interior.
In conclusion, Secretary Hitchcock
said:
THE investigation which inaugurated
last May Is still In progress. No pains
will be spared to make ii thorough and
exhaustive. to protect the Indians f..
their rights In every particular and TO
punish every person guilty of malfeas-
ance."

FILIPINO BURGLARS
TAKE SAFES AND CASH

Burglars in the Philippines do not
take the trouble to crack safes They
carry them into hiding and plunder
them at their leisure.
The methods of Filipino thieves are
illustrated by the theft of a safe be-
longing to jules A. Comdohr, treasurer
of the province of Masbate. The safe
contained 5000 pesos, chiefly Govern
ment money. 1t was thrown from a
window, while a guard was sleeping
near. and is supposed to have been car
ried half mile TO the bay. where # is

This plan was forestalled by Sergeant
McNamee. who had seen Sanitary Officer

ambition to secure the easy" job OF
detective. he took him upstairs, and
Off1cer Frank, after few minutes con-

OUR COMMERCE WITH
DISTANT POSSESSIONS
Passed One Hundred Million
Mark in 1903.
FIRST ACCURATE FIGURES
Statistics in Former Years Have Been
Observation-Disclosures
With 1898.
FIRST ACCURATE FIGURES

Commerce between the United States
and its non-contiguous territory amount
ed to over 500. .OOO, 900 In the fiscal year
just ended. This includes about IS. .O0O,- :
600 worth of gold bullion produced in
Alaska and brought into the United
States. Even excluding this, however.
and including only merchandise In the
| calculation, the total amounts to $685.
$4,000.
This is the first opportunity which has
been offered for an accurate measure
ment and analysis of the commerce be-
| tween the United States and its nom
contiguous territory since the annexa-
| tion of the Hawaiian Islands and Porto
Rico. The Hawaiian Islands were made
customs district OF the United States
when they were annexed. and as the law
did not require the collection of statis
tics OF commerce between the customs
districts. part of the persons engaged
in that commerce refused to supply such
Information to the Bureau of Statistics.
When Porto Rico became a customs dis
trict OF the United States, a similar
condition developed. except that the
Information was voluntarily supplied for
publication by the steamship companies
engaged in that trade.
Remedied by Special Law.
AS result. a special law was enact
ed which applied to the commerce be-
tween the various ports of the United
States and the non-contiguous territory
the regulations which were applied to
foreign commerce, as far as relates to
statistics of such commerce. This law
went into effect at the beginning
of the last fiscal year. and there
fore the result OF the fiscal years opera
tion is just available.
The law. when enacted. was made
broad enough to include all non-contig-
uous territory belonging TO the United
States. AS result 1t gave the statis-
ties OF the commerce between Alaska
and the ports of the United States. as
we'll as that of Hawaii. Porto -sico,
the Philippines, Guam. the Samoan
Islands, etc. This record has been
completed. for the fiscal year. under the
new law. and the result is indicated by
the Department. of Commerce and La-
Dor through its Bureau Of Statistics. as

States to its non-contig-
nous territory, 1903. $50, ,722, ,S41

Comparative Figures.
While these annual figures are the
first of any official nature which the
country has had of the commerce with
Porto Rico and the Hawaiian Islands
since their annexation, IL is practicable
| to compare these with the figures of the
commerce with these islands IN any year
prior to annexation. because OF the fact
that commerce with them was always
measured and reported when they were
foreign territory. This is true, also.
with the Philippines.
