FLORIDA DAM IN DISPUTE.
The Government Institutes Proceed
ings for It's Removal,

Attorney General Knox has directed
the United States attorney of the south
ern district of Florida to institute pro-
ceedings to compel certain property own
ers to remove the dam and other OBJ
structions to the Hicpochee canal, as it
is called. The object of the suit is to
test whether the canal is a waterway
within the meaning of the laws of the
United States and open to navigation.
In 1881 the state of Florida granted GER
tain concessions to Philadelphia and
other capitalists for the draining of
swamp lands The company began work
and in the carrying out of plans in view
built the canal. The plan of reclaiming
the swamps was found to be impracti-
cable and was abandoned. The canal
passed into use as a waterway. Property
owners at the southern terminus of the
canal claimed that it overflowed and
damaged their lands, and they proceeded
to build dam and divert the canal. Then
the people who had been using the canal
a waterway made objections, and the
fight has been going on ever since.

SILVER IN PHILIPPINES.
Commission Believes No More Need Be

The bureau of insular affairs of the War
Department received a cablegram this
morning from Governor Taft, stating that
by it's previous cablegram on the subject
the Philippine commission intended to IN
dicate that the policy of no longer pur-

ton of the archives, satisfactorily shows
that the amount of such Spanish Filipino
silver coinage in the islands is from IL ,OOU,-
600 to 100000 pesos

VIEWS OF MR.. THOMAS BARCLAY
OF LONDON AND PARIS.
The Recent Anglo-French Agreement
and the Alaskan Award Supposed
to Favor Action Now.

Mr.. Thomas Barclay of Paris and London,
eX-president of the British chamber of COM
merce of Paris, is much encouraged since
his arrival in this country over the prozp ects
for the ratification by the United States of
a treaty of arbitration with Great Britain.
This is a subject that has long interested
him. He was closely connected with the
negotiations that led to the recent arbtra-

France. and be..:ves that the time has
come for the revival of the agitation for
such a treaty between this country and
Great Britain. He believes that whereas
the treaty of 1897 failed Of ratification by
the United States Senate, treaty at this
time would receive favorable consideration.
Mr.. Barclay was seen by a Star reporter
today and when asked why he thought such
q treaty would receive favorable considera-

Trouble in Railroad Yards.

played in the north end of the Santa Fe
yards yesterday morning, which at

seers. The players of the game were

In making a switch a box car flew
the track, the fore trucks taking one
track and the rear trucks taking an.
other track. The yard men were sum.
moned and the tug of war began. A
force of men were put in line, but
their efforts were in vain until a
switch engine came to the rescue from
the north. The engine hitched on to

There are times when mother or
