establishment of any manufactures or any
attempts to develop the resources of the
Islands. Any man who attempts to build
a factory or put up saw mill, or open
coal mine is compelled to pay a penalty
as If 1t were crime. Congress intended to
encourage the agricultural mineral, fores-
try and other industries. but the customs
authorities have construed the law in such
a way as to defeat that benevolent pur-
pose. Rather than reverse and override
these officials the administration has de-
cided to recommend the enactment OF
new tariff altogether, and Colonel Ed
wards, chief of the insular bureau Of the
War Department, will very soon publish
the new tables and send them to people in
terested, inviting comments, criticisms and
proposition. 1t is desired to please every
body as far as possible and to avoid all
embarrassments and obstacles that might
unconsciously be thrown in the way OF
trade.
The proposed tariff is a liberal revision
of that now in force, and the result Of ex-
perience. 1t was compiled by committee

at first mistaken for ducks but on nearer
approach they were seen to be human

to an overturned boat. They were taken
aboard the Alert as quickly as possible
and were in an exhausted condition. Res
toratives had to be given them. They were
soldiers, as stated, who had started out
for sail. A flaw in the wind had over
turned their boat and they were thrown
into the water. Neither of the men could
swim and they had been clinging to the
overturned boat for an hour or more when
rescued.

entirely the duties upon labor saving imple-
ments imported In good faith for the pur-
pose OF developing the natural resources of

terial and mining machinery will undoubt-

agement will be offered for the importation

lie will be carefully considered and those

The new schedule will be then sent to Con-
gress by the President. with a message
urging prompt action. as is necessary to
the welfare of the islands.
Free Trade With Philippines.
Ultimately there will be free trade be-
tween the Philippines and the United
States, but that cannot be expected as long
as Spain is allowed the same commercial
privileges that are enjoyed by the United
States Under the treaty Of Paris both ma
tons are to have equal privileges for ten
years. Half the time has expired Five
years hence we can control the Philippine
market.
The value of the Philippines exhibit at
st. Louis has been demonstrated in various
ways. 1t has suggested many ideas and
inspired many enterprises which may re-
suit in great benefit to the islands.

Moundsville Last Night.

Thirty-eight boarders at the District jail
left last night for the state hotel at
Moundsville, w. Va. where they will work
for their board and clothes for terms of

sent for in order that the unfortunate ones
might say farewell and give directions for
the disposal of their personal effects. or to

Present Outlook in Montana Seems "a
Favor These Candidates.

BUTTE, Sept. 23.-The political sit
uatiOn in Montana promises the full
measure of sensational developments
before the end of the campaign. With
an announced $1,000. 900 campaign fund.
the United Copper company. the prin-
cipal Heinze corporation, is in the po-
litical arena apparently with the grim
determination to win out in Montana
this fall or die. as evidenced by the re-
cent attempt of the Heinzeites to carry
Silver Bow county democratic con-
vention in Butte by storm. F. Angus
tus Heinze is said to have attempted to
jump a copper claim belonging to Mr..
Mullins about six months ago. and
the alleged act so agitated Butte's
mayor that he deserted the Heinze
ranks for the regular democracy. To
this fact the Silver Bow democrats
owed their ability to carry the day
against the Heinze forces.
The state democratic convention re-
nominated for governor Joseph X.
Toole, likewise indorsing the initiative
and referendum, fellow servant law
and railroad commission. thus taking
these propositions out of politics as
different party issues. and as Governor
TOole called the special session of the
legislature which passed the fair trial.
