JUDGE TAFT TO REMAIN

viii Continue Indefinitely As CIVIL
Governor Of Philippines.
Washington, Jan. 14.-After mature
consideration, it has been decided by
the president that Judge TAFT shall
remain 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 mem
bers of the cabinet and with Vice
Governor Luke E. Wright, who has
been in this country for two months.
Governor Taft is known, as one high
official expressed it, ito be thoroughly
wrapped up in his work in the Philip
pines" Yesterday, in response to the
presidents letter offering to him the
supreme justiceship, a cablegram was
received from him suggesting, with a
sincere appreciation of the tender
made to him by the president, that it
might be better for him, in view of all
the circumstances, to remain where
he was. After this it was announced
unofieially. but entirely authoritative
ly that Governor Taft would remain
indefinitely as civil governor of the
Philippines. Many serious problems
remain yet to be solved with respect
to the islands. and the administration
is looking with confidence to Governor
Taft to reach such a solution of them
as will be satisfactory to the people
of this county, to the Filipinos and
to the world.

Ways and Means Committee Reports
Bill to Relieve Fuel Famine.
Washington, Jan. 14.-Congress is
now at work in earnest to relieve the
people from the exorbitant prices de-
manded for coal. Yesterday the ways
and means committee, after a confer
ence at the White House with the
president, made a favorable report on
a bill to refund all duties collected on
all kinds of coal for one year from the
passage of the bill.
The bill was brought into the house
today under a special rule, and the
senate, it is believed, will act with
equal expedition, with the result that
the bill should become a law this
week.
The bill reported provides: That
the secretary of the treasury be and he
is hereby authorized and required to
make full rebate Of duties imposed
by law on all coal of every form and
description imported into the United
States from foreign countries, for the
period of one year from and after the

ing AlleS' claims.
Washington, Jan. 13.-Minister Bow
en-, before leaving La Guaira Sunday
on the Dolphin. dispatched a short ca
blegram to the state department an
nOuncing his departure, but not stating
what port he expected to make in the
United States.
Later advices received here indicate
that while Minister Bowen comes as
Venezuela's commissioner in negotia-
tions looking to a settlement Of the
claims of the allies, President Castro
has made it a condition that the block
ade shall be raised before Mr.. Bowen
proceeds with the preparation of the
protocol for the peaceful adjustment
of the claims. Moreover, it now de-
velops that in this request Venezuela
is likely to have the support of Italy,
The United States, though not a party
to the negotiations, of course will
throw the weight of its moral inuence
on the same side. The Italian govern
ment does not desire to crush Venezu-
ella, but simply to procure the repay
ment of claims. The continuance Of
the blockade by sappilg the very life
of the country threatens to make it
impossible for Venezuela to pay these
claims within any reasonable period of
time, so that any judgment rendered
against her by private arrangement or
by The Hague tribunal would be hol-
low and almost without RESULTS.

MlTcHELL's LETTER TO MINERS
Union Men Requested to Cooperate to
Increase Coal Production.

Philadelphia, Jan. 13. II President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers
of America. last night issued the fol-
lowing circular letter to all local
unions in the anthracite districts:
"Gentlemen-You are no doubt aware
that a serious coal famine exists in all
the eastern and seaboard cities. due to
the shortage Of the anthracite coal sup
ply. The situation has reached an acute
stage and has resulted in great suffer-
ing and hardship on the poor of the
cities, whose earnings are insufficient
to enable them to pay the excessive
prices now being charged for fuel. and
it is subjecting the general public TO
great Inconvenience.
"To relieve the situation and ale
viate, as far as possible. the suffering
now being endured, is the duty Of
every one connected with the prcduc-
tion of coal. With this end in view
we are prompted to address this COM
munication to all members of our
union and request that they cooperate
with the management of the mines in
an effort to increase the production of
coal. The gravity Of the situation is
such as to require that every mine
worker shall exert himself and use
every means at his command to this
end.
Upon reading this communication in
the columns of the daily papers local
unions should hold meetings and de-
wise means whereby the daily output
Of the mines may be increased. These
efforts should be continued until the
weather moderates and the great ne
cessity for fuel shall have ceased."

Annapolis, Md, Jan 12.-As a re-
suit of a fight between Midshipman

fourth class, from Concord, N. H.. and
Francis G. Blasdel, of New York, the
