SECRETARY TAFT'S PoLIOR.
The Philippines for the Fiiipinos Win
 Wal be His Keynote.

Washington, Jan. 29-The Philippines for the Filipinos will be the keynote of the policy of Secretary Taft toward the far eastern archipelago. In almost the
 last speech he made before leaving the
 Philippines for home he reiterated this
 keynote, which he first sounded when
 he was inaugurated governor of the
 Philippine islands. This speech has
 been published by the insular govern |ment in an official form and has just reached the war department. In 1t Gov ernor Taft declared that this doctrine does not exclude the encouragement of American enterprise or the American investment of capital in the Philippines for the reason that nothing. not even education or free form of government "can make more for the elevation and civilization of the Filipino people than | the investment of American capital in the material development of these isl- ands."

POSTAL TRIAL WEARS END.
Indications That Case VIII Go to Jury
 End of Next Week.


 washington, Jan. 29.-The third week of the postal trial closed to-day and the indications now are that the case will go to the jury about the end of next week. August w. Machen, the former general superintendent of the free de- livery system. probably will take the stand Tuesday. and the present inten- ton is for the other defendants, pr. and Mrs. George E. Lorenz and Diller B. and Samuel A. Croft. also to testify, lthough this plan may not be carried 1 out. The defense to-day sought to show I by Miss Ina s. Liebhard., for some years chies clerk of the free delivery system and by other witnesses that the orders for the Croft fasteners were sent out in the ordinary official routine and that 1t was impossible for a chief of bu- reau with multiplicity of details such as attached to the rapidly growing free rural delivery service to give personal lattention to all the mail and other off, I ficiai matters. There was considerable controversy over the admission of testi- mony of Diller F. Groff, regarding what he knew of the transactions between his father, one of the defendants, and Dr. Lorenz. and objections to part of his Testimony caused a withdrawal of some of the questions as to the early history of the fasteners until Monday.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING O0
POPE IN ILL-HEALTH.
Physical Dsprs.sion .he cause-TaIi< of
 Another ConcIave.

Paris, Jan. sO.-A despatch to the. Rappel from Rome says the pope is suffering ill-health due to physical de- pression and that there is talk in Jesuitical circles that conclave will be held at an early date.
 Max Nordau, vice president of the congress of Zionists, the Rappel's cor continues, has denied the report that Dr. Herzl founder of the Zionist movement. was received by the pope, although Dr. Herzl had an audi ence on the subject os new Zion with King Victor Emmanuel. This occurred last Saturday and lasted five hours.
 But if Dr. Herzl did see the pope, !" the Rappel correspondent quotes Max Nordau as saying. under no circum- stances could the pontiff say to him that the protection of the holy sepul- chre was reserved for Christians. for 1t is inadmissible that the pope could be so badly informed as to ignore that the Zionists have always declared the extra-territoriality of the holy city and the holy sepulchre as one of the first and elementary articles of their pro gramme. Should Palestine receive a Jewish administration, it has always been understood that no changes wolud be made in the matter of guarding the holy sepulchre, its accessibility, etc.

CAUSE OF MINE DISASTER.
Harw,ck Exprosion Evidently Due to
 Defective Blast.

Pittsburg. Jan. 2s.-Mine Inspector Cunningham thinks he has discovered the cause of Mondays explosion at the Harwick mine, and the room in which it occurred. It has been the theory of the inspectors that the gas was light led by a defective shot, one that was not properly tamped, and which threw a bit of burning paper from the hole drilled in the coal. This was confirmed lin a room in the south left entry, where la hole was found in the coal showing that the tamping had been blown out and that the shot was ineffective. Near this point was found the lamp of Fire
 Boss J. A. Gordon, who was also the head shooter in the mine.
 | The mine had given up 114 dead at
 noon to-day. Preparations are now
 making for an early resumption of
 work. The company expects to start
 again in two weeks. or as soon as the
 bodies have all been removed, the mine Inspected, and repairs made

Recovery of the Lenox Mbrary's wiIkis
 Ou

New York, Jan. 29.-Sir David Will kie's panel painting, an original sketch in oil from his famous "Blindman's Buff," which was stolen from the Len OK library a week ago, was returned to Director Wilberborce Flames, of the liz brary, to-day by c. F. Eble, an art dealer at 1O5 West Forty-second street. MT. Flames paid Eble the sum of s2.5O, which the art dealer had innocently given for the panel, which is valued at $500.
 According to Eble, a man who said he was ''Mr. Wilson, of 210 West Thir- ty-eighth street." entered the store on
 Tuesday last and offered to sell the picture for $5. Eble was busy at the time and clerk talked with the man. Not knowing the value of the picture, the clerk did not wish to accept it, but, noticing that the frame was worth something, he offered to give half of l the asked price. The man accepted l s2.50 and left the store. When Eble
 saw in newspapers that the picture had
 been stolen he sent word to Flames and l offered to return the picture.

HOUSE DISCUSSES MILEAGE.
Great Interest Manlf.s.sd in Apparent
 Iy Small Matter.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The house to- day considered whether members of congress are entitled to be paid mileage a second time. The controversy arose on an item in the urgent deficiency bill providing for two payments of mileage for senators and members of the house on account of the extra session which merged into the regular session. A point of order was raised by Mir. Mad dox, dem.. of Georgia, against the pay ment of mileage a second time, and he was supported by MT. Littlefield, rep, of Maine, who contended that there had been no interregum and conse- quently but one session of congress, and therefore no authority of law for second appropriation for mileage. The interest manifested in the ques- tion was shown by the fact that there were few empty seats on either side of the chamber when the mileage item was reached. MT. Littlefield received close attention and was piled with nu-
 merous questions as to his interpreta- ton of the law and the constitution An adjournment was taken before a conclusion was reached.
 | Consideration of the amendment ln- creasing the appropriation for the ex-
 penses of the District land offices pre- cipitated a discussion on the subject oi alleged land frauds. MT. Mondell, rep. of Wyoming, author of the amendment
 in urging an increased appropriation called attention to the increased vol ume of business.
 MT. Robinson, dem., of Indiana, ask 1 ed if the increased business was no due to fraudulent entries.
 | MT. Mondell replied that he had nc knowledge to that effect and said h.
 believed the reports of frauds to b. greatly exaggerated by persons il whose interest it is to have such re
 ports circulated.
 The provision in the urgent deficienc, bill to defray the expenses of the inter national exchange commission and an
 other provision authorizing the consol \ idation of customs collection district | were stricken out.

INDIANS HOSTILE.
Apparent Attempt of coIumb,an Ma
 lives to Board U. g. wArsIaip.

Colon, Jan 29.-rhe United States gunboat Bancroft arrived here to-day from the San Bias coast She reports the attitude of the San Bias Indians at Caledonia Bay not only unfriendly, but, :, decidedly aggressive. Last Tuesday men from one of the Bancroft's boats insisted upon purchasing few cocoa nuts from the Indians and paid more than full value for them. Towards Il O clock that night, when it was dark, twenty canoes were seen approaching the Bancroft. The gunboat turned her searchlight on the canoes and it was revealed that each boat carried as many Indians as could crowd in, prob ably two hundred in all. All the men were armed with. bows and arrows, guns of quaint and old patterns and other weapons. Their faces were be- smeared with paint.
 There is no doubt but that their in- tentions were hostile. They hoped to reach and surprise the ship. The com mander of the Bancroft ordered the gunboat cleared for action and her 1 guns were loaded and trimmed ready l for use A quick-firing Colt gun was pleaced near the gangway and orders were given to the gunners of this piece to keep up a ceaseless fire all around i the canoes.
 l As soon as the Indians heard this rain of bullets they immediately began retreating toward the shore. The gum ners were given express orders not to fire at the Indians, so the bullets cut l the air and churned up the water all around them No shots were fired at l the Bancroft, which at once sailed to I Colon to bring in the report of the oc- currence
 The San Bias Indians live on the Inorthern coast Of the isthmus between l Nombre de Dios and Cape Tiburon, but
 their principal tows are on Caledonia bay. They are descendants of the old Caribs. and for many generations past they have resented the intrusion into their territory of any and all foreigners
 They never admitted the sovereignty of Colombia or paid taxes, and Colombia
 always let them alone A few trading schooners occasionally call along the
 coast for cocoanuts. and this is the Emain product of the Indians, but men from these schooners were never allow
 ed on shore longer than was absolutely necessary for business purposes. The San Bias Indians have a strong pride
 of race, and they have succeeded ir
 keeping their race free from mixture
 with any foreign blood.
 During the les. three months gun
 boats of the United States have made
 frequent trips to the San Bias country
 to gain information concerning trail:
 from Colombia. toward the center of thu isthmus. At first the Indians were no more than slightly unfriendly; but thu
 repeated visits of our warships and mel soon annoyed hem and with each cal
 from the Americans they became nor
 unsriendly and hostile. It is currentl.
 reported that In the interior of thei [ country there are valuable deposits Q $ gold, and thin gold earrings and othe l ornaments of the precious metal are oc casionally found in the possession o : the Indians. The supposed existence 0 7 these mines is thought to be anothe l reason why the Indians so resent tn
 visits of foreigners.
