formed public might suspect. The

shows that they are interested IN the
course. 1t will take no small man to
fill the place left by Means Davis.
There are 29 applications before the
board yesterday and other names were
suggested informally, all OF which
shows that there is good material
from which to select. The members
of the board present were: Gov. Hey
ward. Supt. Martin, Mr. August Kohn,
Mr.. Jno. J. McMahan, Mr.. Robert Mac
Farlane of Darlington; Mr.. c. E. Spen-
Ger of Yorkville. Senator G. w. Brown

There can be no election OF pro-
fessor except at a stated meeting OF
the board and the members had met
lust to talk over the situation and TO
eliminate from the list those names
which could not be considered. While
some of the members OF the Doara
have about decided upon plan OF ac-
ton. there was no formal motion made
and no ballots taken. 1t Is proDaple /
that there will be other changes at the
college as there are rumors that pig
universities are trying to get some OF
the teachers.
The board also discussed the matter
of electing an assistant to the head |
of the department Of English. There
were IA applicants for this position
which was created by the legislature
at its last session. The board did not
take any definite action on this matter.
AS stated, this was not a meeting
to elect, but just to discuss the sltua.
ton in general terms and to talk OF
the outlook of the college. The mem
bers OF the board are very much graft
fed at the prospects. and hope to have
the vacancies filled at the regular
meeting on the 7th of June.

CONDITIONS IN PHILIPPINES.
Observations Of the Swiss Consul at
Manila

The Swiss consul at Manila reports as
follows In the Schweizerisches Handel
samtsblatt, In Its issue of May %:
From the business standpoint conditions
were not very good in the islands during
1903. A series Of fatal conditions resulted
In general discomfort. First was the large
imports Of rice from Cochin China, Siam.
etc. 1t Is known that some rice much he
imported annually for the use of the ma
tives and the Chinese, for whom 1t is the
most important article of consumption.
However, the imports of rice never reach
ed so high a point as In 1903 amounting to
$1O.OOO.OOO as compared with $50 600 in 1897
1t Is evident that the withdrawal of this
sum for this great necessity of life usually
grown In the islands, would have a disas-
trous effect on the purchase of articles of
luxury. 1t also resulted in the peasants
going to the cities. where they could earn
money more readily. To this must be added
the danger from predatory bands and the
effects of the revolution.
An important factor was the lack of
sufficient native oxen to cultivate crops,
which was caused by the ravages of rim
remedy this state Of affairs by importing
oxen from China and Java and to furnish
them to the farmers at reasonable prices,
but did not secure favorable results, as
most of the animals died en- route. The ma
tive OK is a very peculiar and susceptible
animal. suffering even from transportation
from one island to another. For this rea-
son only third Of crop of rice was put
in last year.
Another ground for the business depres-.
sion was the huctuation of money values in
rates Of exchange and in the kinds of cur
rency in circulation. in the island The
money has become stable however, through
the introduction Of the Conant. dollar. -.
During the year under discussion the
management Of the islands was In the
hands Of Governor Taft. who won the SYM
pathy of the Filipinos by a wise and not
too strong government. After he left the
Philippines to become Secretary of War he
was followed in Office by Mr.. Wright. The,
government il attempting, by the erection
Of railroads. harb0rs. ETC., to make all parts
Of the island easily accessible. To accom-
plish this will take much time and money.
II is generally conceded, however, that the
government will do the best possible for the
country. There may be mentioned the
Manila Dagupan railroad. commencing at
Bigaa and proceeding to Gingua, Balibuag
and Cabanatuan. with a branch from An
geies to Camp Stotzenberg. Lines are pro-
jected to AntipOlo and Batangas. and one
from Dagupan to Benguet has already been
started upon which about 1890 men are
at work. An electric railway and water
works for Manila are also planned"
