MAY CALL OUT TROOPS.
Roosevelt Considering II as Means
Of Removing Fences.

Washington. President ROose'
welt and Secretary Hitchcock, of the
interior, are said to be considering
the advisability of ordering out the
military forces of the United States
to enforce the law against unlawful
fencing of public lands in Nebraska,
Kansas, New Mexico, Wyoming Mon
tana and other Western states, and
to eject the cattle barons, now hold
ing millions of acres of the public do
main in violation of the act Of con
gress passed in February, 1885. 1t is
understood that the troops may be
ordered out at any time.
The law has been a dead letter
since about four years after 1t was
passed. Colonel Mosby, special agent
of the general land Office, who has
been proceeding against the cattle
kings of Nebraska, has been in Wash
ington for some time in connection
with the various cases now before
the courts.
Major Robert w. Hunter, an inspec-
tor in the public land service during
the first administration of President
Cleveland, and who secured an order
from the executive calling out United
States troops in New Mexico in 1883,
recently expressed the belief that not
until military force is used will the
government succeed in its effort to
secure the removal of illegal fences
on public lands. ..
ITO enforce the lay of 1885," said
Major Hunter, president Cleveland
appointed Edward G. Bowers and my
self inspectors in the land office ser
vice Both in Wyoming and New
Mexico indictments We're found
against many prominent cattlemen,
but delays were frequent, and both
Bowers and myself had to make it
publicaly known that the administra'
ton was determined to use United
States troops to aid the civil powers.
Bowers called for a troop of cavalry
in Wyoming in 1885, and 1t was
promptly furnished.

FREE COAL BILL PASSED.
Only Five Members, All From Coal
States, Voted No.

WashingtOn.-The bill reported
from the ways and means committee
to provide for a rebate on the duties
on foreign coal for period of one
year was passed in short order by the
house by practically a unanimous
vote, 25S to ), those voting against it
being Messrs. Cushman and Jones, of
Washington; Gaines, of West Virgin
ia; Mondell of Wyoming, and Patter-
son, of Pennsylvania, all Republicans.
The bill was considered under the
operation of rule which cut off
opportunity to amend. The only OPP
position to the measure came from
some of the members representing
coal states who expressed the fear
that the admission of Chinese mined
coal in Canada would injure the coal
industry of their states. Both Mr..
Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, and Mr..
Payne, of New York, the Republican
leaders, expressed the opinion on the
floor that the bill would not relieve
the existing distress. They said it
would satisfy, however, public de-
mand for action and show the dispo-
sitiOn of congress TO do what it could.
The Democrats, although they all
supported the bill, took the view that
it did not go far enough, saying that
coal should go on the free list, and
when the bill came back from the
senate with a provision which virtu-
ally placed anthracite coal on the
free list they applauded vigorously.
Mr.. Dalzell, in the course of his re-
marks today said that there was
no anthracite coal in the
world except that in the United States
and little in China. The senate
amendment was adopted without di-
vision.

TAFT IS TO STAY.
WILL REMAIN AS GOVERNOR OF
THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
OFFERED PLACE ON SUPREME BENCH.
He did Not Refuse it, but Suggested
That it Might Be Better for
Him to Remain in Ma
Mia.

Observation-Disclosures mature con-
sideration, it has been decided by the
president that Judge Taft shall re-
main in the Philippines as civil gov
ernor. The decision was reached
only after the president had discussed
the Philippine question thoroughly
with Secretary Root and the other
members of his cabinet, and with
Vice Governor Luke Il. Wright, who
has been in this country for two
months.
For several weeks it has been re-
garded as settled that Governor Taft
would return to this country, perhaps
in a few months, to become justice
of the United States supreme court.
President Roosevelt indicated to Gov
ernOr Taft in a letter dispatched to
the Philippines more than month
ago that he could have the appoint
ment to the supreme bench if he de-
sired it. 1t was the presidents pur-
pose to name General Wright as civil
governor of the Philippines. AS soon
as it was learned in the Philippines
that Governor Taft was likely to leave
the island, cabled protests began to
pour in on the president from promi'
nent Fillipinos. Even yesterday the
president was in receipt of a cable
gram from some of the most impor-
tant interests in the Philippines urg-
ing the retention of Governor Taft
as civil governor The protests re-
ceiyed in no manner reflected on Vice
Governor Wright, for whom the peo-
pie of Manila and of the islands gen
orally have the highest regard; but it
was pointed out to the president that
Governor Taft was ideally equipped
for the position of governor and that
any change at this time would be dis
astrous to the best interests of the
archipelago. 1t was maintained that
Governor Taft's REIMBURSEMENT of the
islands would retard the development
of the islands fully five years.
