crate Conditions In the Islands.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-Legislation
authorizing the Philippine government
to execute a guarantee of four per cent
per annum on $4,000, 900 of bonds for
railroad construction in those islands
is to be introduced in the house by
Chairman Cooper, of the house com.
mittee on insular affairs. This legis-
lation will have the support of the adj
ministration through Secretary Taft,
whose conviction that railroads are
the next most essential step in the de-
velopement of the Philippine islands,
has been made known to the committee
on insular affairs.
1t is predicted that telegraph lines
will follow the railroad, newspapers
will be established along its lines, and
the educational, social and Industrial
development of the islands will be ac-
complished faster and more surely than
in any other manner.

Fourteen Being Drowned-Those

Port Townsend, Wash, Feb. 90
After suffering the most narrowing ex-
perience from fire and storm that has
ever befallen craft on the North Pa
tic coast the steamer Queen yester-
day put in here to report the loss Of
IA lives.
About 3:45 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, while OFF the mouth of the Co
.umbia river, the Queen caught fire
IN her after saloon in some unex-
planned way. With indescribable
sw;stness the fire gained Roadway and
threatened soon to envelop the whole
ship. To add to the horror the heavy
seas running meant death to any sent
away in the lifeboats. The flames be-
came more and more threatening until,
when it seemed a choice of deaths,
Capt. Cousins ordered the lifeboats
launched. They were manned by the
crew and ordered to remain close to
the ship. Into these the women and
children were placed. Hardly, how
ever, had the boats been cast loose
than, unable to weather the fierce
waves, two of them were capsized.
The passengers and those of the crew
who remained on board continued
their fight against the flames with in
ereasing success until at TAO a m.
the fire was brought under control.
