Plan to Have Governor Taft Succeed
Him Next Mouth.

Washington, Jan. 5.-If existing plans
carry, some time next month the presi-
dent will send to the senate the nomi-
nation of Governor Taft to be an asso-
ciate justice Of the United States SUI
preme court to succeed Justice Shiras
who is expected to retire during that
month. Governor Taft will be succeed
ed as civil governor Of the Philippines
by General Luke Wright, at present
vice governor, and the lattre place will
be filled by the appointment of w. w.
Rockhill, the present director of the
Bureau of American Republics. There
are already many aspirants for the
place which will be vacated by Mr..
Rockhill, but so far the president has
made no choice. 1t appears that Gov
ernor Taft was Offered place on the
supreme bench on the death of Justice
Gray. but he felt that affairs in the
Philippines were in such state as to
require his own personal attendance,
and he sacrificed the opportunity.

RAILROAD PLANS BLOCKED.
Gould Systems Attempt 20 Enter Pitts
burg Retarded.

philadelphia, Jan. 5.-The state SUI
preme court to-day, in the case of the
city of Pittsburg vs. the Pittsburg, Car
negie and Western Railroad company,
reversed the decision of the Pittsburg
courts, which held that railroad COM
pany had a legal right to extend its
lines between any point in the state.
The courts decision to-day affects the
railroad situation in Pittsburg arising
from the attempt of the Gould system
to enter that city and thereby secure
line to the seaboard. The supreme
court reversed the lower court on con-
stitutional grounds and granted an in
junction prohibiting the extension of
the Pittsburg, Carnegie and Western
railroad. 1T is understood that the ex-
tension was intended to permit the en-
try into Pittsburg Of the Wabash Rail
road company.
Pittsburg. Jan. Stop all Wabash

will go forth tomorrow morning from

road, the Wabash extension. I'VE VIII

INDIANOLA TROUBLE.
Mrs. Cox Leaves for AInbama-Has Re
signed for Good.

Louisville, Jan. 5.--A special to the
Courier-Journal from Indianola, Miss
says Mrs. Minnie Cox, the colored
postmistress Of this place, on account
of whose resignation the government
ordered the postoffice here closed, left
Indianola tonight for Birmingham,
Ala, accompanied by her mulatto as
sistant. 1t is now thought there Is lit
tie danger of further trouble, and al
though the sentiment of the people Is
against the action Of the government
in closing the office on account OF the
consequent partial paralysis Of busl-
ness, no violence is anticipated.
Before she left tonight Mrs. Cox
made a statement In which she denied
that she had been subjected to any in
dignities and stated that no violence
had been threatened her. She said'
however, that she would not again take
the office of postmaster under any cir
cumstances.

Washington, Jan 5.-"Swine who eat
swine'' is the latest compliment tender
ed American soldiers in Mindanao by
the Sultan of Bacolod and the Pana-
DUNCAN of that place. These two Fill
pinos Of the Moro tribe have caused the
American troops no little annoyance
since the occupation by their guerilla
warfare. The following is an example
of the letters received at the war de-
partment in the last Philippine mail;
It was sent to the American officers in
Mindanao, bearing the imprimata Of
the Sultan and the Panadungan Of
,Bacolod:
1--WE want war if you do not get out
Of here and go back to the sea, because
neither the Sultan of .Bacolod nor the
Panadungan wants to be your friend.
Within this month we want the war to
begin; and if you do not want 1t you are
lot of cowardly rascals.
Follow our Mohammedan religion.
"Do not look for the Mausers, for we
have them. They were captured by
Bantuas and Buarsing, people of the
Sultan of Bacolod. EH
1--WE send our regards to the four
generals and their yermin. If you do
not want to go from here come to this
place and the Sultan and Panadungan
will take care of you, for you are lot
of hogs that eat hogs, and In not pre-
senting yourselves at Bacolod look out,
for we shall go to fight you" G2 -.
The advices show that neighbors OF
the Bacolod chief are quite friendly to
the Americans, the Sultan Of Uato hav-
| ing visited Camp Vicais. .-

eating All Night.

A stabbing affair that may prove
case Of murder occurred on Union
street, near Fair, about II o'clock last
evening. A brakeman whose home is
said to be in New York, and whose
name is Charles L. Cole. went into the
saloon of Martin KraiIing at 80 Union
street and asked for drink. MI.
Krailing stated when interviewed early
this morning and he was corroborated
by his bartender that as the man was
intoxicated he refused to sell him any
more, and as he was disorderly he or
dered him out of the place. Cole refus-
ed to go out so Mr.. Krailing went from
behind the bar and started to put him
out During the scuffle krailing got a
punch in the forehead which left quite
a mark. Cole was finally elected and
proceeded across the street where he
tore off a picket from the fence and
started back.
From then until Cole was found lying
on the ground in pool of blood no pos
/ tive Information Of what happened
| could be gained except that Cole iden-
titled an Italian by the name of James
Rome when confronted by him at the
| hospital as the man who stabbed him.
! Right after Cole was found Sergeant
Cook was notified and he ordered him
! taken to the hospital. where 1t was
! found that he had a severe stab in the
! abdomen and it was not known posi-
| lively this morning whether he would
recover or not. About ten minutes af-
| ter Cole was found Patrolman c. J.
Egan arrested James Rome and charg-
ed him with the offense. The coroner
was Immediately notified and went to
the hospital where he took a statement
from Cole. He then went to police
headquarters and examined a large
number Of witnesses, including Krailing
his wife his barkeeper, some inmates OF
the saloon, the officer and Rome.
His examination took nearly all night
The knife with which the deed is said
to have been committed is in the GUS
tody of the police. 1t is a bone-handle
jack-knife with about a three-inch
blade.
Rome has been in this country about
ten years. He is about four feet six
inches high and is thirtytwo years old
He lives on Day street, and is en-
ployed in the DeForest & HotchkisS
lumber yards. He has a long police
record for various offenses. He has
been a customer Of Kraling's' saloor
for over eight years, so Mr.. Krailing
stated last evening. Mr.. Krailnt
said he knew nothing of what occurred
outside his saloon. 1t is supposed that
when Cole came back with the picke
he met Rome coming out, got into {
fight with him and in the melee go
stabbed Cole was alive at $3.50 this
morning.

Berlin. Jan. 5-The army estimates
show recurring expenditure of over
SLIP, 100000, an increase Of $1,S75,000
compared with 1902. The naval esti-
mates show a recurring expenditure Of
$23, ,349,092, an increase of $1,634,2 1882. The
homecoming naval expenditures in
clude $26, 1885, ,250 for ship building and
ornaments, an increase of $412, ,250 COM
pared with 1902. But the total devoted
to ship building alone shows de-
crease Of $197,750 over last year. III
Extraordinary expenditures for the
new harbor works at Wilhelmshaven,
Kiel and Dantzic will require s2,750,00O
increase over 1902. The bill creates one
additional rear admiral and ia addi-
tional minor officers. 1t contains no
surprises. ---r-,-,::atH ,:e.H
The lesser requirements for new con-
struction under the programme are due
| to the lower prices Of material.
The increase in the estimates for
regular army expenditures will be de-
voted to improving details of the SER.
vice equipment and instruction. Twen-
ty-fve thousand dollars has been set
apart for experimenting with field
automobiles; trials with these machines
made up to the present time have
shown them to be of permanent value.
The sum of $25,00O is also allotted for
improvement in the technical instruc-
tion Of officers.
Among the extraordinary expendit-
ures is the sum of $5,750,0O0, Of which
$5,25O,O0O is for fortresses ana $50o,00o
for field railroad material.
