pertaining to the purchase OF minor
league players against which pro-
test hal been filsd by Barney Drey-

club, was upheld in a decision of the
National Baseball commission. Drey
fus claimed that the rule was In vlo-

have included drafted players. II is
held that the rule could not be made
ITO apply to drafted players, who are
provided for in the national agree

to the constitution of either leagua.
In case of any conflict between the
agreement and either league consti-
tuition. the latter should be so amend

agreement. The comm. ssion further
declares that the new rule was alb

NOT so GOOD IS The
POLITICS THERE
Says Secretary TAFT of the Phil
ippine Islands.
Immediate Independence IL Advo-
Gated by Some Of the Younger
Men.
COMPROMISES ON FRIARs' LANDS

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 2S.--Sec
rotary Taft in an Interview covering
his trip to the Orient. said that the
political situation IN the Philippines
in some respects was not as good as
1t ought to be. WAVE of Ladfon-
ism" he said. "has swept over Ca
wife. and 1t has been found necessary
to suspend the writ of habeas cor
pus in Cavite and Bahamas. The same
was true of Sapar. but the use of
troops on Samar and scouts and con-
stabulary in Cavite has put an end to
this business"
Concerning agitation for independ-
ence Secy. Taft said: Some of the
younger men of education have been
advocating immediate independence
II therefore becomes necessary to
state with considerable emphasis the
policy of the administration on this
subject and to state that in the opin-
ion of the ADMINISTRATION there was
no possible hope for independence
short of generation. because the
people could not be fitted for self
government in that time. indeed. IL
will probably take much longer than
that"
Continuing, he said; There, was
remaining unsettled question about
the title to one-half of the friar's
lands-those owned previously by
Dominican order. After a confer
ence with representatives of the Ven
doris a satisfactory compromise was
affected by which thousands of titles
to the lands will be Immediately con-
veyed to the government and posses
sion given as far as that possession
is in the Vendors, and the difference
as to the price. matter OF some
$4,000 will, be left to adjustment
by arbitration.
Conditions in the Phillip
pines are not favorable as we would
like to have them. and probably will
not be favorable until the depressing
conditions are removed.

Tho Captain Already Dead on the
Celebrated "Niutiny Ship"

Victoria. p. c., Sept. 2S.-With
her captain dead from yellow fever
and two-thirds of her crew incapaci-
tated from the same disease. the
British bark Leicester Castle, fa-
nous in maritime history as a mutt
ny ship, is being held in quarantine
in the royal roads oown this harbor.
The vessel arrived from Acapulo
in ballast and the boarding officers
heard a narrowing story of a fight
with the plague and heavy seas. They
were also told that nearly all the
residents of the port the bark sailed
from had become victims of the
plague.
Acapulco is seaport of Mexico on
the Pacific, in the state of Guerrero.
Within FIVE hours after the Leicester
Castle sailed for this port Captain
Crosby, her commander, was attack
cd with yellow fever. The vessel still
had the promontories of the harbor
in sight when the captain died.
Knowing the nature of the disease
the crew buried him at once, and the
mate. Captain Spragge. took COM
mand. The new commander had
scarcely given his first order when
word was sent him that a number Of
the crew were seriously i'll of a
trouble like that which killed the
captain.
In less than four hours eight men
were down with the yellow fever and
the working of the vessel fell upon
one-third of the ships company.

OUR RICH MEN.

John ID. Rockefeller is considered
the richest man in the world. but he
is one of the poorest in many ways.
Fifty years ago Tuesday he was a
poor boy in Cleveland, o.. and he
celebrated the anniversary by receiv-
ing a few friends. He gave the world
some good advice on that occasion
Making money is not the great thing
in life. Turn your thoughts into 9TH
er channels and make certain of con
tentment and satisfaction in the la
ter days of your retired life"
Rockefeller is probably unable to
profit by his own advice-but he
knows. He is aware that there are
and desired than wealth, but is he
able to boast of them? Likely and
unfortunately not. He is often pic
tured as a monster. held up by his
fellow men TO contempt and ridicule.

He may well ask himself, SIS il worth
it?" Outside of his business transac-
lions, whatever they have been, his
life has been clean and marked by
countless acts of hberality and chart
ty. He has given freely, and will give
more. no doubt. but there is possibly
nothing he could do to win the good
opinion of the world in general, and
cast of the stigma placed on him by
those who misunderstood and mis-
Judge him.
But he has learned from expert
ence what II means TO covet peace
and contentment. and that they can

nately too rich,

Edwin Lafevre says in the Satur-
day Evening Post:
"Mr. John d. Rockefeller does not

Mr.. Lafevre also points out the
value of some of our rich men, as
follows:
"Mr James ]. Hill has thrifty
managed to accumulate thirty of for
ty millions. But after he had enough
TO be sure his family would want for
nothing, IL is to be doubted II the
thought of making more money for
himself has been his principal OBJ
ject. Think of what the man has
done-the incarnation of the genius
of railroading, develoing a rich will
derness because he would develop a
great railroad. The Great Northern
was the child of his brain, his dream
its prosperity was as the breath of
his nostrils. There were obstacles,
physical, financial. sentimental. To
overcome them took brains. II took
work, II took courage. He had all
these in marvellous abundance. Let
us say that he himself has made even
fifty millions of dollars. But what
was wilderness when he began pro
duces today enough grain to feed a
kingdom of Europe. II sends forth in
ore, in lumber, as much in month

world because his railway cars were
taking lumber from the Pacific to the
Great Lakes. and he wished to take
back wheat and manufactures to the
Pacific TO ship to the teeming mil

because-perhaps it'is his only rea-

plutocracy, emphasize the dangerous
tendency of the times? Perhaps. II
would. we must admit, give us bet

the wealth of the country and the
comforts of the population. What
else is civilization but comforts?"
The only moral Is that we should
feel kinder towards our rich men.
They are seldom happy with all their
money, and as everything else, they
have their use. In fact. as pointed out
by Mr.. Lefevre, these same men who
are sometimes denounced as "bloated
plutocrats." have done a great deal
for the country. and their money is
