The Manila Review OF Trade" hand
some publication, for January, reaches
us, containing tull page portrait Of The
Hon. Henry c. Ide, secretary of finance
and justice in the civil government of the
Philippines, and an abstract of his first
annual report showing the financial con.
dition of the 33 provinces, most OF which
seem to be selfsustainng.
The Manila Tines of January Is has
the following editorial comment on the
proposed appointment OF Judge Ide as
vice-governor, in the event of the retire
ment Of GOV. Taft, which fortunately has
not become necessary:
The latter information that Commits
sioner Ide and not Mr.. Rockhll was o
fill the vacancy in the vice-go vernorship
which would have been created by the
appointment OF Gen. Wright to the posi-
tion OF governor, will doubtless appeal
tavorably to all Americans and Others
interested in our government here. Dur.
ing his term OF labor on the Philippines
commission Judge lde has demonstrated
his peculiar fitness for the post he holds
and given evidence of his ability to fill a
position Of larger responsibility. Had
the original plan been carried out and
Commissioner lde taken over the office Of
vice.gOvernor 1t is sale to say he would
have administered it most acceptably
and well, and proved himself OF invaua-
bic assistance to Gen. Wright in the lat
ter's enlarged sphere of official duty.
Like Gov. Tat and Vice-GUv Wright
Judge lde is a lawyer of wide experience
and sterling worth. His labors, more
over, as with all his fellow-commssion
ers, have been indefatigabe. He has
devoted himself whole heartedly to his
work and spared no effort which might
promote the general weltare-in TACT it
has been urged by those who appreciate
his services and his value to the cause OF
government here that he spare himself
and conserve his health and energy for
the sake Of the larger resultant useful
ness. With his invaluable legal learning,
and his experience and knowledge of con-
ditions here these islands would suffer
a distinct loss in even his temporary
retirement from the field of official duty.
Apart from his professional ability,
Judge Ide's unfaiing courtesy has won
appreciation from all who have had the
pleasure OF coming in contact with him.
Among the many monuments which
have been raised to their industry and
learning by the members Of the Philip
pines commission. but few, if any, bear
greater tribute than the Civil Code and
the Philippines Land Act, both from the
pen of Judge Ide. They speak more elo
quently than words to his zeal and I'M
ceasing industry, and in the future gov
eminent OF these islands are ever likely
to bear him witness" and speak his
virtue" For these alone the people of
the Philippines owe him a large debt of
gratitude.
Commenting on the above the Burlng-
ton Free Press says
While events have shaped themselves
so that Commissioner Ide Will not now
be called upon to fill the vice governal
chair (events in which none concur more
heartily than hel yet we trust if ever the
vacancy occur and be be available the
same wisdom in choice will be displayed.

Current Press Comment.

1t is not often that Vermont towns
come in for such handsome legacies as
those that have fallen to Lyndon by the
will OF Isaac ". Sanborn. A $40, 900
library site and building, a valuable pri-
vate library and collection OF paintings,
several requests to churches, and finally
the remainder of his large estate left to
the public schools to be equally divided
on the basis Of attendance. Vermont
has not enjoyed many gifts of this kind
in comparison with some of her sister
states, but this sparsely settled rural
region does not number many wealthy
men, st. Adams Messenger.
Work of Session Summed
The session, to sum up, shows that, on
questions Of economic, industrial and
commercial policies-the policies which
lie nearer to the presidents heart-the
party is not with the president and that
he escaped open defeat on these subjects,
partly because the senate leaders slightly
yielded, or seemed to yield, to the public
sentiment which he had aroused, and
partly because they desired to preserve
outward harmony in the party Har-
pers Weekly.
The State will Watch St. Johns bury.
While it is true that the next years ex.
perience of the larger towns like st.
Adams that have voted license will be
watched with interest as something of
test of the merits OF the new liquor
law, it is no less fact that the experience
OF such a town as St. Johnsbury that
voted nO-license will be watched as a test
OF the honesty OF the prolessed support
ers OF prohibition. St. Johnsbury is the
one conspicuous town whose inhabitants
elected to stand by prohibition Now
let us see if they will enforce prohibition
as thoroughly and honestly as the prohi-
bitionists demand that the rest of us en-
force license St. Adams Messenger.

New Method Of Communication Be.
tween Land and Vessels at Sea.
Chicago, May II. - Transmission Of
sound through the water is the latest
method of establishing communication
between land and vessels at sea. Prof.
A. B. Moses of the West Aurora high
school claims to have solved this prob
lem, and he believes that a fair trial
will prove the merits of his method
and produce results that will even sur.
pass all development and progress
made in wireless telegraphy. A trans.
portation company is considering a
proposition to give the new method a
trial, and experiments may be made
on one of the company's steamers dur.
ing the summer The aurora professor
contends that his plan will permit the
use Of telephone, and with the water
currents as a conductor conversation
may be held between two distant
points.

men yesterday resulted in a riot IN
which at least fifteen men were IN.
jured. The sheriff says that another
such outbreak as occurred yesterday
will make the calling of state TROOPS
inevitable. At the present time It q
possible that the county sheriff will
supercede the police in the control OF
the city.
Yesterday morning six trolley car,
were started out on the Barnum and
State street lines. There were large
crowds around the car sheds at the
time the cars were manned by twelve
of the 1870 strike breakers brought To
this city by the trolley company.
There was no disturbance of any
kind for a couple of hours. When the
first car, however, had completed its
third round trip and was directly IN
front of the Wheeler-Wilson factory,
where a crowd of at least 1000 per.
sons had gathered,
8ombardment of Stones
began. The stone-throwing soon oe.
came so furious that the two deputy
sheriffs who were riding on the car
drew their revolvers and fired FIVE
shots in the air. This caused the
bombardment to let up little and the
car reached the barns and was run
inside. The other five cars, operated
one the same streets, received exactly
the same treatment as they followed
the first car into the car barns.
When the last car had passed within
the doors there was a crowd of 1000
people gathered in a vacant lot oppo-
site, and violence once more broke
loose Brickbats, stones and every
thing that could be thrown were
hurled at the barns, and anything tns[
belonged to the company in the vicln-
ity.
At this point Mayor Mulvihill saw
that the sergeant and nine policemen
who were stationed at the car barns
were entirely
Unable TO Cope
with the mob and he sent for Chief
Coffin of the fire department. After q
short consultation the latter ordered
out Engine Company No. 6, with a
steamer and a line of hose. Supt,
Birmingham also ordered every avail
able man to the spot to cooperate
with the firemen, and soon a stream
was being played on the mob, which
slowly fell back before the water.
The officials of the trolley company
will not reveal the names of the men
injured or the nature of their injurHs.
In an interview the sheriff said:
81 will have no further interference
on the part of Mayor Mulvihill. | will
have one hundred special men hereto
morrow and will do my best to pre-
serve peace, and If the mayor or any
one else attempts to interfere he Will
be stopped; il necessary | will super
sede Mayor Mulvihill in authority"
