MASSIVE MODERN IMPROVEMENTS CONTRAST
WITH RELICS OF THE PAST AT UNCLE SANS
NAVAL STATION IN TIL ORIENT-"GUGUS
ARE GREAT WORKERS AND THEY ARE KEPT
BUSY.

Special Correspondence to The Press.
MANILA, Aug. 1.-THE naval gta-
ton at Cavite, 1000 miles from the
United States and seven miles across
the bay from Manila. is the only
naval station in the orient and with
the tremendous importance assumed
by the Philippines. due to the present
Russo japanese war, it has become
necessary greatly to enlarge it. \
station is being built at Olongapo,
in the deep waters of Subig bay. At
Cavite, the larger ships can not go
alongside the docks, the battleshipS
having to anchor mile outside, while
at Olongapo they will be able to
steam up to the wharves.
Originally Cavite was a Spanish
fort. Guadaloupe, and the old smooth
bore guns still bristle from the white
washed classmates, Inside the fort
the Spaniards had built repair shops,
ship railways and foundries, which
formed the nucleus of the present
plant. TO this equipment have been
added pattern and boat shops,
wharves and modern machinery suf-
ficient to construct gunboats, or re-
pair battleships
There are some 5000 Filipino work
men in the station, whose wages are
not one-half the amount paid an equal
number of workmen in America. and
in some cases one native does the
work of two ordinary men. These
little brown men-"gugus"-re
adapt themselves to American tools
and methods, and in a temperature OF
100 degrees they work from I n. m.
to p. m, requiring little food or
water, but smoking innumerablc
cigarets.
The historic figure of FL Cano. the
interchangeable explorer second in COM
mand to Magellan. who discovered tho
Philippines, stands near the main
building of the yard. Amusing was
the attempt to move this heroic
statue to more suitable place upon
the American occupation of the sta
ton. The practical sailors eye per-
ceived that It would require derrick
with heavy fourfold purchase to lift
the immense bronze, and this was
rugged after many days work. When

NO SEEDS
IN APPLES

SALT LAKE, Aug. 11.-W. c..
Sheu, the Grand Junction pomologist
who grows apples without seed or
core. is at the Cullen. Mr.. Sheu has
made rapid strides in this unique
branch of genealogical science and is
convinced that in few years this
will be the only kind of apple in COM
mercial use. He points out that with
the adoption of the seedless apple
will come the death knell of the cod
lin moth which has heretofore resist
ed the efforts of entomologists by en-
trenching himself in the core. OF
course the abolition of the seeds
means the abolition of core and hence
the home of the Goblin moth and
other chronological pests.

HIGH Water
AT DAWSON

DAWSON, July 29.-Extreme high
water for this time of the year has
prevailed on the Yukon river below
Fort Gibbon. The steamer Cudahy,
which arrived here yesterday after
noon from ST. Michaels, encountered
seven feet of a rise in the river while
coming from St Michael to Gibbon.
The steamer had a barge in charge,
and the double burden made it extra
heavy work toiling against the wall
of new water and the accelerated
current

any other Europeans, but they do not al

conflict in Manchuria is actually between

generally clean habits of the race, as a
factor in the victory.

A Prohibitive Gasoline Regulation

The first branch of the Baltimore city
council yesterday took radical action
against the sale of gasoline in that city,
passing by a vote of Is to an amendment
to the municipal ordinances prohibiting the
sale or use of that material for cooking or
other household purposes while permit
ting it for use in automobiles under rigid
restrictions as to storage and transfer. The
fight against the existing regulations has
been in progress in Baltimore for some
months, the advocates of reform at first
urging merely more careful supervision
by the city over this traffic to the end of
reducing the danger of fire and death. But
as the campaign developed the lines were
more tightly drawn between those fayoring
restriction and those advocating unre-
strained use of the fuel. until at last the
former advanced one step, and favored the
absolutely prohibitive substitute which was
passed yesterday. 1t was admitted by those
fayoring the prohibition, in the course Of
the debate, that this action by the city
would mean a considerable hardship to
many poor people, but it was believed that

Senator Burkett.

The Nebraska legislature today promoted
Representative Burkett to be senator from
that state, and So after March 4 next, the
District will lose his services on the appro-
priations committee of the House where
he has acted for several years with intelli-
gent appreciation of the real needs of the
capital. But in his translation to the upper
house Mr.. Burkett will carry with him all
the knowledge he has gained as to local
conditions, as result of his work in the
framing of District appropriation bills, and
Washington will find him sensible and
justly considerable a legislator there as he
has proved to be in the House. Nebraska is
to be congratulated upon having made so
excellent a choice for the Senate, and espe-
cially upon taking for that post one of it's
trained representatives in the lower house,
whose experience in parliamentary proce-
dure and personal standing in Congress will
at once enable him to play an active part
in the proceedings of the upper chamber.

The Demand for Amendment.

In adopting a resolution favoring the
amendment of the smoke law by the estab-
lishmcnt of a two-minute period of per-
missible smoke emission, with total of
sixty minutes of emission during the
twenty-four hours the Board of Trade has
placed itself on record as voicing the domi-
nant sentiment of the business community.
1t has declared by vote of - to
Is in favor OF practicable statute,
which will permit all furnace owners who
wish to obey the law to 40 so, while re-
lieving them of the stigma which now at
listing terms of the law. as construed by the
Police Court. II has shown it's disposition
TO safeguard the interests of the city by
coupling with the recommendation for a
two-minute period of uapunishable smoke
emission one for limit TO the total amount
of permissible emission. This combination
recognizes the fact that it is impracticable
in the present conditions to prohibit smoke
absolutely at certain times and in certain
lines of furnace use and also that there is
an urgent need of restriction to prevent the
undue fouling OF the skies. BY separating
for punishment the real offenders from
those who have been only technical and
mmaterial lawbreakers, the amendment
gives assurance that public opinion will de-
mand and accomplish the punishment of
the violators of the statute. and reduce the
smoke nuisance "a a minimum.
With this resolution recorded and express
ing the sentiments of the business men of
Washington, Congress has evidence of the
urgent desire of the community for the
amendment of the law

Loubet and Lincoln.

The venerable mother of President Lou
bet, who has just died. belonged to what
In France is called the peasant class Her
distinguished son held her in the greatest
affection and admiration. and he is thought
to have drawn his strongest qualities from
her. His great success never changed the
course of her simple life. She remained to
the end the plain woman amidst plain sur
roundings, and was content to enjoy at a
distance the fame her son had achieved.
Mr.. Lineoln's, in measure, was similar
fortune. He was reckoned in his strongest
qualities as the mothers son. She did not
live to see him great and famous, but had
she been spared we should doubtless have
seen her pursue in Illinois the even tenor
of her simple way and leave the life here
to those who liked excitement and display.
That plain American woman and this plain
French woman had much in common, and
the countries that produce such are never
wanting in strong men.

Indignantly denied on the floor of the coun-
ell room by those who voted for the drastic
amendment. If the second branch OF the
council adopts the measure thus passed 1t
will be interesting to see what effect the
total elimination OF this household commod-

Gov. Douelas as Peacemaker.

The effort of Gov. Douglas to settle the
Fall River strike is highly praiseworthy.
Employers and employees have for months
been at outs, and the one in sales and the
other in wages have lost heavily. We need
not inquire as to the original issue between
the parties. Taking the situation as it
exists today, it is well worthy the attention
of the governor of the state and if he can
assist in any way to bring about peace and
to start the mills to work again he should
perform valuable a public service. The
welfare of all the people of the common
wealth is Iegitimately within his concern.
and the people of Fall River, for some rea-
son, have not for six months past been far
ing well. The strike has more or less af-
fected the whole community.
Gov. Douglas may be told by some people
that he is setting dangerous precedent;
that he is travelling outside of his powers;
that he may make a bad case worse; and so
on. We heard a good deal on that subject
when the President offered advice In the
coal strike. The country, however, was not
impressed with that line of thought, and it
felt abundantly justified in it's own judg-
ment when the difficulties between the mine
owners and the miners yielded to that treat
ment. Not unlikely Gov. Douglas Is taking
his cue from that affair, and hopes to do in
the Bay state what the President succeeded
in doing in Pennsylvania. We can all afford
to wish him success.
Success should be within his achievement
too, because of his thorough familiarity
with all business rules and arguments. He
began at the bottom. and has reached the
top. 1t is part of the boast of his friends
that prosperity has not deadened his sym
pa thies for those who are still earning their
daily wage as he once did his. He can ap-
preciate their point of view as well as that
of those who supply. as he now does, the
brains and capital for great industries. AS
Mr. Hanna did, and for the same reason,
he should command the confidence of both
sides.
We make precedents as we make prog
ress. The old-time Presidents and govern
ors did not look upon such conditions as
exist today. Many things have changed
with our phenomenal growth and develop
ment and afford opportunity for the exer-
else of good influences from those who once
were occupied with other matters. No high
official is outside of his powers who con-
Germs himself properly with bringing the
people when separated together, and then
keeping them together.

Tea.

Now and then medical specialist comes
to the front TO utter a solemn warning to
the public against tea-drinklng Scientific
statistics are adduced 10 prove that this
beverage is unwholesome MISUNDERSTANDING
and altogether to be esehewed In the inter-
est of health. There is much solemn talk
about tannin. fannie acid, stimulation. and
the like, and II the tea drinkers of the
world were to take these deIiverances
seriously they would become most unhappy.
1t so happens that there is just now in
progress most conspicuous object lesson
showing the value OF tea as a beverage
Both of the contestants in the war in Asia
are famous tea drinkers. The Japanese are
perhaps the most persistent consumers of
tea In the world. They drink Il at all
hours. in ali circumstances and in great
quantities. AND they are, moreover. less
afflicted with nerves than any other peo-
pie on earth. Ii is said of them that they
will undergo surgical operations without
demanding anesthetics. There is no lack of
evidence of their superb courage and en-
durarce and patience In the fighting that
has been in progress for the past year.
But the japanese. while drinking heavily
of tea, are at the same time given to very
wholesome diet in general. They eat prac-
tically no meat. OF flesh food, IL 1t may be
