Taft Appears 70 Have Solved vsxatious
Philippine Problem.

Washington, Nov. II. - Advices
reaching the war department from Ma
nilla indicate that before he sails for
the United States on December %,
Governor Taft will have succeeded in
setting one Of the most vexatious prob
lens connected with the acquisition of
the Philippines, namely, the adjust
ment of the claims of the friars for
their extensive property holdings in
the islands. The price to be paid ap-
proximates $1,000, 600.
Negotiations to this end have been
in progress at Manila between Cover
nor Taft and Mgr. Guido, the papal
delegate, ever since the governors re-
turn to the island from Rome. The
main obstacle to a settlement appears
to have been an issue between the
papal delegate and the religious orders
as to the proportion of the purchase
money to be paid by the insular gov
eminent that was to be turned over to
Rome. This, it is understood, has
been agreed upon.

RANT AT AMERICA.
coIOmblanS are wnd Over the Loss
Of Panama.

Colon, Nov. 1.-THE Royal Mail
steamer Orinoco arrived this morning.
bringing news of General Torres and
the Colombian troops he took from
here after the proclamation Of the re-
public of Panama. The soldiers be.
haved we'll on the voyage.
On the arrival Of General Torres and
his troops at Cartagena the news Of the
events on the isthmus quickly spread
and acused excitement. General Torres
and his officers were threatened with
arrest as traitors, but the threat was
not put into effect. The populace,
greatly excited, soon crowded the
streets crying, Down with the Ameri-
cans"
United States Consul Ingersoll, fear.
ing violence, remained shut up in the
consulate.
The Barranquilla authorities had in
tended sending 800 Colombian troops
by the Orinoco to Cartagena, but
learned that the vessel had debarked
General Torres and his men, and de-
cided to keep the men at Barranquilla.
The excitement at Barranquilla in
creased with the spreading of the news
of the secession of the isthmus, which
was supplemented by exaggerated ac-
counts Of the alleged part played by
the United States therein.
Fears are entertained for the safety
of Americans in Colombia, and of the
possibility Of the anger of the popu-
lace being vented against foreigners
generally. The authorities st Savanali
have mounted two obsolete guns cover
ing the wharf.

Ontario sent delegation Of Is mem

inscribed, Ontario, 1904" The CON

speech brought forth discussion.
President Devers, In his opening ad-
dress said. regarding the attacks Of

Il want to say that, while some OF
the papers libeIed the association by
saying that they have accomplished
but little, | know that, II 1t has done
nothing more, IL has called the atten-
ton Of the government to the fact
that we want irrigation, that we need
irrigation works, and while no prof.
ects are yet completed, know that
some will be announced soon. Fur
ther than that, at the last session of
the legislature q resolution was pass
ed requiring the governor to appoint
a commission to investigate the state
laws on irrigation, riparian rights and
kindred questions, and the governor
has appointed the commission. Fur

STRIKERS IN Rlor.


Chicago, Nov. 14.--Constant scenes
Of disorder, over a district approxi-
mately SO square miles In extent, re-
suited today from the Inauguration Of a
strike by the employees Of one Of the
two principal surface street railway
companies in Chicago. All along the
lines, wherever cars were started,
strike sympathizers made desperate on
slaughts ON the crews, beginning at
dawn Of day, and continuing a. long as
the cars remained on the tracks.
The tie-up was made complete. A
number Of cars were wrecked, and that
no person was killed is no fault of the
rioters. One mans back was broken,
and the first shot Of the strike was
fired at Wentworth avenue and West
SiA ninth street, where q mob Of sew
eral hundred persons tried to hold up
a train.
Merogatory remarks regarding the
union by an armed nonunion employe
Of the company caused riot at Thirty
sixth and State streets tonight. The
man was chased into an engine house
near by, and before the police could
reach the spot mob Of 1000 persons
surrounded the place, bowling for the
life Of the refugee. A squad Of police
men, after a great deal Of difficulty,
finally quelled the disturbance and re-
moved the man to place Of safety.
Many person, chiefly nonunion street
car men, were injured by flying splin-
tered glass. Two women were among
those hurt.
Excepting few dozen passengers,
who had to fee from the cars, the 300,-
900 patrons Of the company were forced
to all other sorts of methods to get
down town and back.

Japans rush order for coal is per-
haps more indicative of the approach
of war than anything else. There is
evidently every preparation being made
for attack and counter attack. The
spreading out of the Russian fleet
along the coast seems to indicate that
she expects an attack in many places.
1t also indicates that the first blow will
be struck by Japan. The Japanese fleet
has not been dispersed as the Russian
fieet has been, and will probably sweep
down suddenly upon some given point
In overwhelming force. The issue, how
ever will not be fought out at sea but
upon the land. Whether the future
battlehelds are to be Manchuria or in
Korea remains to be seen. Japan will,
no doubt, do her utmost to segregate
the land war to Manchuria.

When peculiar volcanic phenomena
occur here and we find volcanic phe-
nomena occurring in distant parts of
the earth, we are very apt to trace the
outbreaks to similar causes. There will
be scientists who will connect the OUT
break at Mokuaweoweo with the earth
quakes in Persia. There may be some
thing in the theory, but it is almost
impossible to reconcile it with our own
personal observations. The distance
between the two points is enormous,
and though volcanic phenomena are
common enough, and rapid enough, it
is doubtful whether they can reach so
far. Still, we know so little about the
forces at work within the globe, and
volcanic phenomena, in general, that
as one is in a position to say, this or
that is impossible.

hand man is able to put to his own
uses most stupendous natural forces.
Man himself may be puny but his in
tellect is grand. To come down from
great things to small ones, there is a
great deal of power running to waste
upon these islands which ought to be
utilized for the benefit of the inhabit-
ants. Every island has its waste of
power, but especially is it noticeable on
Kauai on the Koolau side of Maui and
the windward side of Hawaii The time
must come when this waste will cease.

man, places close at hand should also
be utilized.

Time brings about great changes.
Within the life time of many of us the
great Victoria falls upon the Zambesa
were discovered, and they were a
worlds wonder when the first accounts
of them were published People even
treated the description as a travellers
tale. And now it is proposed to har-
ness the power of these falls and make
it subservient to the uses of man. The
Victoria falls will be a greater source
of energy than even Niagara. The to-
tai height of the latter is between 1853
and 1877 feet The drop of the Victoria
falls is between 400 and 42O feet. At
Niagara the power is computed at l.
100000 horsepower At the falls on the
Zambezi, during the wet season the
energy is reckoned to represent 80, OOO,-
900 horsepower. Even during the dry
season the power of the Victoria Falls
is very much greater than the power of
Niagara. Surveys have been made. ana
on the completion of the railway, now
only seventy miles distant, further in
Vestigations will be carried out. Long
electric transmissions of power are con-
templated, and, judging from expert
ence in other regions, it is expected
that a line 300 miles long will be put
into effect with success. This would
reach such well-known mining districts
as the Wankie coal field, the Gwelo,
Bplawayo, Selukwe, Lomagunda and
other gold fields, besides several copper
districts which are now attracting at
tention' At times we think how funny
