FRED'K O'BR!EN
IN PHILIPPINES

What interest the merchants and
financiers of America take in the pres
ent business and financial situation in
the Philippines is shown in the New
York Commercials sending a special
correspondent here to write a series of
articles on this subject. The CONNER
cial is the leading business daily of the
United States and commands the atten-
ton of the great captains of industry
of the East and West. Frederick
O'Brien, who arrived here on the Reset
ia Maru, from Hongkong, has been the
Pacific Coast editor of the Commercial
for the past two years, and is a well
known writer on commerce and other
topics.
| Mr. O'Brien will remain in the islands
| some weeks, and brings letters of in
PRODUCTION from prominent men of New
York and Washington to the heads of
the Government in the Philippines and
to leading bankers and business houses.
He says that there is a flood of inquiry

| the investment of capital in the Philip
pines, and that there seems to be there
an absence of reliable fnforInation on
the matter. The State Department at
! Washington is besieged with requests
for data on various lines, and all official
reports and newspaper articles dealing
with these matters are eagerly read by
the mercantile element and by capital
lists. There is particular interest shown
in lumber, sugar and coffee lands, and
in the chances for exploitation of the
raw products peculiar to the islands.
The Commercials correspondent will go
to the most reliable sources for his facts
and figures, and his articles should
prove not only of value to the Com
merciaTs readers but should encourage
moneyed men to come here.-Manila

HOW MARCONI MAY IN FUTURE SPEAK
FOR US AROUND THE ENTIRE GLOBE

What kind Of a reception would {
man have secured in the Puritan set.
Elements Of Massachusetts in the early
| days, should he nave said: "Some
time in the future 1 will be able to
speak for you clear around the globe. -
One can picture that man doing pen
ance in the pillory, with several small
lads standing around and poking fun
at him. But today he would not be
treated thus. Recent events have
shown that wireless messages around
the world are not only a possibility.
but probability.
Marconi has triumphed He is send
ing messages through the air, over the
raging winter gales and snowstorms of
the Atlantic to Europe.
How long it will be before Hawaii
can send messages through the air 10
almost any island in the Pacific and
the continents around the Pacific is
but matter of guesswork, but it is
likely that the islands of the entire
Pacific will some time be connected in
this way.
An ocean steamer travelling be-
tween Yokohama and Honolulu may
catch fire. Her commander just speaks
through space, and says to Honolulu:
n,,-
and-so. There is no hope of saving the
ship. We will take to the boats. Cop
tic leaves Honolulu tomorrow. Send
her word to come to this position and
pick us up. We are taking our wire
less apparatus into the boats. and if
nothing goes wrong will be able to
keep in communication with the res
cue steamer until she picks us up"
This may be fanciful in some ways,
but even such staid and prim author
ity as Webster's International Diction-
airy tells US:
Wireless Telegraphy (Elec.), a sys-
tenn of telegraphy in which communi-
cation through space is accomplished
by electric waves without wires or 9th

The map shows possible develop

The San Francisco Labor Council at

protest against all legislation favoring
the admission of Chinese laborers to

that the admission of Chinese 1aborers

laying of tracks of another road few
days ago the company began to lay new
rails, and when. to-day. workmen came to
the first turnout they proceeded to put it
down as before.
Mayor Boyle was quick to act. He
called out all the police, went to the scene
and demanded that the work be stopped.
The agent of the company refused and
the police were ordered to prevent the work
They did go Two workmen were roughly
handled for persisting in continuing the
work Tonight there was a special meeting
of the City Council at which the company
was ordered to take up its present turn
outs and lay single track. Notice to this
effect will be served on the company in the
morning The police are on guard to-
night.
If the old tracks had been replaced as be.
fore, when the new road is built there would
have been six sets Of tracks at points on

Archbishop Ireiand's Hopeful View Of the
Church situation There.


Archbishop Ireland returned to st. Paul
| last night. In speaking Of the Philippine
situation he said -Rome has left the So
, called Philippine question to Mgr. Guidi and
the three American Bishops who are to go
there DR.. Rocker OF Washington. DR..
, Dougherty of Philadelphia. and the man
who will be selected in place Of DR.. Mont
gomery of California who declined the
appointment
"The Roman Catholic Church and the
American civil authorities are anxious for
peace in the islands, and they are hopeful
OF the settlement OF all the questions there
to be met. The authorities at Rome have
accepted Loyalty and fully the policy Of
the United States and are shaping all church
matters In accordance with that policy
No better proof of this is needed than the
appointment Of three American churchmen
to fill the sees there
sThe friars' lands question IL being de-
layed, but, all things considered 1t is being
worked out satisfactorily
! do not regard the AgliPay SCI, schsm M
race In an endeavor to show the natives
that they do not want an American Catho-
lie church there, 1t will not have much
growth.
Whether the friars will be taken out
of the islands will be left to the judgment
of the American Bishops. 1t is hard ques-
tion to solve because of the difficulty in
filing their places 1t is hard to replace
priests who know the dialects of the ma
tves, and the native priests are neither nu-
merous enough nor we'll enough equipped
to take charge
American ideas will prevail in he Roman
Catholic Church in the Philippines. The
Bishops are thoroughly American and
entirely in sympathy with American ideas,

DALLAS. Tex. May l5.-The railroad
agreement known as the Rock Island and

While by the terms of the instrument
it is made clear that the Rock Island is to at

one-half being retained by the Southern
Pacific 1t is plainly stated that the presi-
dent of the lines shall come from the Rock
Island management

Ptpe-That's Ethics, and II Goes.


Another phase of the ethics Of union
labor has come to light in the remodelling
of the City Hall. When the contractor
to whom the job was given had his con-
tract revoked by Borough President Can
tor because he dared to do some plastering
himself one Sunday, the task Of completing
the work was turned over to the surety
company which had bonded the contractor,
Since then the union men have had every
thing to their liking. The alteration of
the building, 1t was stipulated. sho uld he
finished some time in May. The work is
still far from completion, and from all ap-
pearances it will he several months befor
W. NJ. Aiken, the Borough Presidents IS archi-
tect, will be able to report that he has car
ried II out.
During the last two weeks, when the
weather has been somewhat warm on
several days. the men have suffered from
acute attacks Of spring fever They have
been 30 thoroughly prostrated that they
have had to lie at full length on benches
and window sills, unable to do more than
study the funny pages Of the afternoon
papers. 1t is only at clock in the after
noon, when the whistle blows for them
10 hloCk on, tHdl t1ey nave DecH dpIe W
rouse themselves.
Until yesterday no one objected to the
union mems plans for an easy summer at
full union wages. 1t was recognized that
they were friends Of Mr.. Cantor. But
Marty Keese, the keeper OF the City Hall.
who has been the keeper. tradition says,
from the time the building was erected,
doesn't fear Mr.. Cantor and the whole
band OF Sheehanites and labor unions
put together. There are many small re-
pairs wanted In the City Hall, repairs that
are not included In Mr.. Aikens plans.
MARTY" has been trying to get these re-
pairs, done for weeks past. When he at
last laid down the law to Supt. Walker
Of the Bureau of Public Buildings, Mr..
Walker replied
Il can't get any OF my men TO do any
work in the building while Mr.. Aiken q
men are there. When Mr.. Aiken is through
then my men will come in and do what
plumbing and carpentering work you want
done"
II was explained to Mr.. Reese that the
unions forbid one set Of men stepping in
and doing work in a place where there is
already another gang of men at work.
More than once NJ. Reese has sent to the
bureau for men to do some needed fixing
of doors and pipes in the building. The
bureaus men would come over to the City
Hall look over the job and then with the
remark I'VE can't touch that, that belongs
