A MILLIONAIRE's SYMPATHY.

Refused Old Friend Loan of So, But

From the Washington Post.
"a man whom knew WELL one who
had once been very prosperous BUSH
ness man in St. Louis, but who had
met reverses, walked into the office of
one of our Western millionaires and
asked the loan of S." said ex-Con-
gresham Charles f. JOY of Missouri,
at the Shoreham.
THE man seeking the favor had
been a close friend of the millionaire
before he had become immensely rich.
The unfortunate one went to the 9TH

be turned down, for he knew that the
news of his taking to drink had reach
ed the ears of his old time friend.
He was greeted with cordiality.
however, and plucked up heart to ask
for the money. Immediately the mil

he, I can't let you have S.

maybe for our former friendship you
might do me that little favor. How

mans luck deserts him he can get no
assistance from any quarter, and with
an air of absolute detection he turned

"'No, / won't give you what you
wanted, but wait here few minutes
and the millionaire went into his pri-

quarter of an hour the clerk returned
and held out big, fat envelope to
the miserable being. The latter.
hardly realizing that any one should
send him a communication, broke the
cover, and inside found five brand new
hundred dollar bills and a railway
ticket to st. Louis, with berth or par

his benefactor, the recipient Of this
unexpected generosity broke down and
cried like a child.
There is not much more to the story

went to his old home and started up
in a small business, out of which he

TAFT HAS RETURNED TO
BE SECRETARY OF WAR
Former Governor Of the Philippines Talks Of the
Islands.

Gov. Taft said that conditions in the
Philippines were better than ever be-
fore, and he doubted if greater tran
guilty ever prevailed under Spanish
administration.
I'VE are now looking forward" he
said, Ito a period of great activity in
railroad building throughout the is
lands. Two new branch lines have
just been authorized by the govern
ment, one of thirty-five miles and an
other of 351 miles on the line of the
road now running out for a distance
of 120 miles from Manila to Dagupan.
This road was originally built by the
Spanish.
The greatest need of the hour in
the islands is railroads. Every island
in the group can support a railroad
running for fifty miles along the coast
to handle supplies and country pro-
duce. American capital, it is hoped,
will appreciate this opportunity and
secure the roads.
The census will be published in Oc-
tober next and on that date, provid-
ed the country is tranquil, as at pres
ent, the government will authorize the
election of an assembly of not less than
fifty nor more than 100 members. This
assembly will be legislative body, CO.
ordinate with the commission, passing
all enactments for the government of
the territory
In reply to a question whether or
not the Philippines were in condi-
ton to govern themselves, Gov. Taft
said that they certainly were not at
present, and to make a prediction on
the subject would be looking too far
into the future.

San Francisco, Jan. 23.-Former Gov.
William II. Taft of the Philippines ar
rived here to-day on the steamer Co
rea. The Governor was met by
number of representative army and
navy men and other officials on the
tug Golden Gate, to which the party
was transferred after the Corea had
reached the quarantine station. The
tug carried it's passengers to the Oak
land Mole. where Gov. Taft boarded
the eastern overland train for Wash
ington. On arriving at the capital,
he will at once assume his duties as
Secretary of War.
Gov. Taft talked at length to rep
resentative of the Associated Press re-
garding conditions in the Philippines
and briefly on the Japanese Russian
controversy. No significance of po-
itical nature, he said, need to be at
tached to the haste with which he is
travelling.
In regard to the trouble between
Japan and Russia and the general Sit
nation that prevailed when he left the
orient, ex-Gov. Taft said that affairs
looked quite warlike. He has hopes
however that the crisis might yet be
bridged over and peace preserved. The
Mikado was a man of force and tact
his calibre being shown by the hlgn
class of advisers he had gathered
around him.
