Construction of Railroads in the Phil
ipplnes.

Washington.-All the bids for con
customary contracts or grants for the
construction of railroads in the Phil
ippine islands recently submitted to
the bureau of insular affairs have been
rejected, because of departures from
the terms of the circular calling for
proposals. Secretary Taft, after a
number of conferences with Governor
Wright and Mr. Forbes of the Philip
pine commission, and Colonel Ed
wards, chief of the insular bureau, has
decided to readvertise for proposals,
and January 20, at 10 a. M, has been
fixed as the date for the opening OF
new bids for these concessions. The
terms will be modified in some par
ticulars.

Father Gapon's Views of Disaffection
Among Russian Troops.

Paris.-Father Gapon left Paris
Thursday for an unknown destination.
In the course of an interview he said
that the present movement in Russia,
owing to its violence, would probably
affect adversely the results already
achieved. He considered that the dis
affection among the military was in
no way connected with the revolution,
but was merely mutinous outburst
caused by the i'll treatment Of the
troops.

Ours is the hand mat feeds them, ours Is
the prize they share,
And ours is the common blessing, free

To win from the lowly valley unto the

We are the kings Of the earth.
