TAFT GAVE FIGURES
Secretary of War Defends
 Present Philippine Policy.
ISLANDS COST TO DATE S2O4, 100000
Average Expense In Future VIII Not Exceed Four Millions Per Annum. Increased Cost of Navy Not Due
 to Colonial Policy.

NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 26.-William H. Taft, secretary of war, addressing . Republican mass meeting in this city, charged the Democratic party with surrendering to the embraces ot gospel the frenzied utterances Of Ed ward Atkinson, who had made gross misstatements in regard to the cost of the Philippines to the United States.
 Judge Taft gave his own estimate of the cost of. the Philippines to date as $204, 100000, saying:
 'The report of the secretary of war made in 1902 in response to a resolu- ton of congress calling for the actual cost of the army in the Philippines from June 3o,. 1898, to May 1, 1902, showed that the expenses of the army which could De properly chargeable to those islands and the operations in them and the maintenance of the army there amounted to $169, 100000.
 "In addition to the $169, 100000, $1,- 100000 may be added for extra ex- penses in the navy department, $3,- 100000 for the famine fund, $2O,O00,OOO for the anoiIntspaid under the treaty, making total of $193, 1000 ,O0O down to the 1st of May 1902 By that time the insurrection was wholly suppress ed, and the American soldiers in the Philippines began to be reduced from 27,0O0, until now they do not number more than 13,000, and orders have been issued by the war sdepartment which in due course will reduce the army to 1 10000. A soldier in the Philippines costs $140 more per man, on the aver l age, than in the United States, and there are also enlisted in the army of the United States 4,5OO Philippine scouts, which cost the, government an average of $500 man. Assuming that the American soldiers,> if not main tained in the Philippines, would have l to be maintained in the United States, and, taking tie entire cost of the Phil ippine scouts, the cost to the govern ment from May l, 1902, down to the present time did not exceed perhaps S1O,0O0O00 or $11,0O0,OOO, or total to date of about $204, 100000.
 The average expense in the future when the army is reduced to 10000 l American soldiers will not exceed $4,- l 100000 a year. It is idle to charge that the increase in our navy is due to ours Philippine policy. The increase in the navy is due to the policy ap- proved by the people iof the United States before the Philippines as de- 1 pendency of this government were ever beard of''

FAIR WANDERERS.
Price 'sFrinkets'' Made by the Clever
 and Thrifty Jap.


 and Thrifty Jap.
 St Louis. Oct 26. Like nearly every one else who visits the fair, Jane wants 10 take home a few trinkets as souve nirs of the exposition and as remem. brances for friends, and like nine out of ten American women she turned into the Japanese section, of the Va ried Industries building to make her se-. lection. There is a popular notion that the Japs are the only ones who make souvenirs worth carrying home and judging from the displays to be seen in the Japanese pavilions and bazaars in exhibit palaces and on the Pike. I should imagine that every Jap in the Flowery Kingdom who was not at the front fighting Russia was engaged in making screens, vases, cups and saul cers and sbric-a-brac of every descrip- tiOn for this exposition. There must be several ship loads of vases alone, Indeed the fair is almost submerged in a flood of Japanese wares.
 The first ..trifien which Jane priced almost took her breath away. It was cloisonne vase with two birds on it, and Jane thought it would be very pretty remembrance for one of her school friends. The price was $6O0 Another cloisonne with wisteria Dan0 cherry blossoms was $25O, After Jane had recovered consciousness she made up her mind that tthe smaller vases would do. but even these ranged in prices from $7.50 to $50, and she final fly learned what every one has to learn, that Japanese clois0nne vases are not tstrifles' to be scattered carelessly among school friends. The ivory trin- fkets are even farther beyond the ordi- nafy purse. Thess.Japs are very fond of carving lot of tiny elephants on one ivory tusk and they appear not to be anxious for we noticed that one tusk with eight little elephants carved out of it and mounted on a piece of ebony was marked $1,T5O. We also found a cloisonne vase marked $4 300
 The Japanese are artistic and ingen- iOIis. doing their work with infinite pa. tience and skill, but they have peculiar tastes. We saw a large porcelain vase covered with miniature porcelain mon. keys2 ,Q03 of them by actual count in every conceivable position. all ap. parently clinging to the vase for deal life as though they were afraid oi slipping off. I could not find out how long it took the Jap to make this vase put the prlce marked was 940U AILel all, the monkeys are an- Improvement oyer snakes, lizards and sea serpents John ventured the opinion that the JaI who made it had "a monkey and par rot time'' of it before it was complet ed, while. Jane. thought he must have been awful tired when he got to tht last monkey.
 As we boarded our car after the days tramping was done we saw { couple who had been waiting for hour: to board a car. Although dozens 9. cars had gone by they still patientl, waited and refused to get on any O them. Finally a guard asked then why they did not get on when th' man replied:
 We are waiting for car No l127 That's the one we rode out in this morning and the conductor knows jus where we want to go.

If saw you coming out of saloon with hat on the back of your head and a cigar between your fingers, with a happy look on your face, or coming from the side door of drug store gazing with an interesting look at the clouds, then I would have recognized you; but com ing out of church with meek look and accompanied by your wife was too unconventional for you.

EFFORTS TO SETTLE INJUNCTION
CASE BY APPEAL ON AGREED
FACTS.

1t seems probable that with a view
to getting an early decision in the mat
ter of the dispute over the check given
as deposit by Contractor Walker in his
tender for the Alakea street slip, it will
be submitted as stated case to the
Supreme Court II an agreement can be
reached on facts. BY enjoining the SUI
perintendent of Public Works from
proceeding with the letting of the con-
tract to the lowest bidder the whole
work will be held up and the crying
need of the new dock will be lengthen-
ed indefinitely by a legal controversy.
The administration is particularly anx-
iOus to have the work proceeded in
view of the expected appropriation
from Congress for the deepening of the
harbor.

for plaintiff.
The action was an ejectment suit
in which plaintiff obtained verdict
for one fourth of Honolulu property

it from his mother who in turn claim

method of distribution of the estate of
1862 was attacked in the suit, and as
further ground of action it was sought
to show that Aldrich's conveyance,
made in 1898 in California, was invalid
because he had been adjudged insane.
