from Charles Raynard, secretary of
the American Club of the Isle of Pines,
asking information in regard to the
necessary form of procedure to estab-

for the island, Secretary of State
Root wrote:
There is no procedure by which you

lawfully subject to the control and gov

you and your associates are bound to
render obedience to the laws of that
country so long as you remain in the
island. You are not likely to have any
greater power in the future. The

CATTLEMEN IN COUNCIL
Favor President RooseveIt's Railroad
Policy

Denver.-The following strong reso-
lutions approving President Roose-
velt's rate regulation policy were
adopted at the meeting of the Colorado
Cattle and Horse Growers Associa-
tion Tuesday evening:
Resolved, That the executive COM
mittee of the Colorado Cattle and
Horse Growers Association call the
attention of our senators and repre-
sentatives in Congress to the fact that
the members of our organization are
heartily in favor of the legislation de-
manded by President Roosevelt; that
any legislation to be effectual must
provide power to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, when rate is
complained of and upon hearing is
found to be unreasonable, discrimina-
tory and unjust, to make rate that
will be reasonable and just and compel
the railroads to put it in force imme-
diately.
ANY legislation which evades this
vital power will be useless and with
out avail"

and 1t is expected that the meeting at

appeal to President Roosevelt against
the extortion, as it was termed.
Numerous resolutions were passed
at the meeting. Among those was one
asking that the state take whatever
means necessary to retain Prof. w. l..
Carlyle of the agricultural college,
whose work was heartily praised. 1t
was also suggested that he be made
director of the experiment station.
A resolution was passed asking the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals to desist opposition to the
attempt to have Congress extend the
time limit for keeping cattle in cars
from twenty-eight to thirty-six hours.
The cattlemen say that there is more
cruelty loading and unloading cattle
than in keeping them confined few
hours extra.
1t was decided to ask that the ma
tional investigation of loco weed and
it's effect upon cattle be continued.
The date of the annual convention of
the association was placed for January

Balfour Cabinet Resigns.

London.-A brief official announce

Philippine NEEDS.
Bureau Recommends Eventual Free
Trade With the United States.

Washington-Colonel Clarence r.
Edwards, chief Of the bureau of insular
affairs, in his annual report to the Sec
retary of war, states that the three
most important needs of the Philip
pine islands to-day are a market, the
opportunity for farmers to borrow
money at reasonable rates of interest
and adequate transportation facilities.
Provision for the latter has been made
by Congress.
Colonel Edwards says the recon-
mendation upon which the Curtis bill
was based should be presented to tie
coming Congress with the following
additional recommendations.
THAT after the expiration of the ten
years period from the date of the
ratification of the treaty of Paris,
which admitted Spanish ships and mer-
chandise to the ports of the Philippine
islands under the same conditions as
ships and merchandise of the United
States, there be free trade both ways
between the United States and the
Philippines of all articles the growth
and product of either of these coun-
tries.
THAT the application of the coast
wise laws of the United States and the
Philippine islands be postponed until
April IL, 1909, from which date this
trade shall be carried in American or
Philippine bottoms"
Other recommendations are, to in
crease the size of homestead entries,
to remove the limit iii regard to num-
Der of mining claims, to reduce either
size or amount of silver in coins and to
give the Philippine government power
to legislate for naturalization as to cit
izenship in the islands.
The aggregate of revenues from the
date of American occupation to June
80, last, was $s2,73S,1OS, and the ex.
penditures for that period were S77,-
71O,73S.
1t is stated that for the first time
during the American occupation there
is considerable preponderance of ex-
ports over imports. amounting approx
imately to $1,5O0,000.
American ships carry about ten per
cent. of the exports and imports.

the participation of the military and

made at their meetings calling on the
proletariat to erect barricades.
Reports have reached several of the
| embassies of military outbreaks in the,
Baltic provinces particularly at Reval,
where the reservists are said to be in
open mutiny. Confirmation of these re-
ports cannot be obtained. Prince Eu-
gene Troubetskoy NJ Guchkoff,

recent zemstvo congress held at Mos
COW, have arrived here.
No additional details of the con-
flagration said to have started at Mos
cow have been received. Rumors of
plots to overthrow Count Witte are
prevalent.
This morning newsboys We're openly
hawking flysheets in the streets con-
tanning an account of an alleged re-
volt at Tsarskoe-Selo and crying out:
The Emperor's palace guard has
mutinied.''
The air is also filed with stories OF
the alleged revolution at the palace
Friday, in which Grand Duke Boris is
said to have attempted the life of the
Emperor. These stories likewise are
untrue, but they prove that revolu-
tion in the palace is considered posi-
BILE at any time.
Count Witte continues to refuse to
deal with the telegraphers, declaring
that for the government to yield would
be equivalent to its abdication at their
order.

able commission to perform this morn
ing. l have been requested on behalf
of the people of my state to present to
you at this Thanksgiving season this
testimonial of their appreciation of the
great service you rendered to mankind
in bringing about peace between Japan
and Russia. We have had great many
blessings to be thankful for during the
past year, but the greatest of all we be-
lieve to have been the re-establishment
of peace between those nations,
and the part our nation, through you,
took in bringing it about. This testi-
monial, you will notice, is in the form
of heart. 1t symbolizes how close
you are to the hearts of all our people,
This is gift from the people of Colo
RADIO, men, women and children, rich
and poor alike. Contributions for it
were made up of pennies of people. It's
inscription speaks their sentiments:
From the heart of the Rocky
Mountains this symbol of pure gold is
sent my men, women and children,
rich and poor sharing alike, to Theo-
dore Roosevelt, President of the United
States, whose great heart brought
peace to the people of Japan and Rus
Sia.'
Thanksgiving Day, A. D. 1906
1--WE ask you to accept, coming as it
does, from the grateful hearts of all
our people, with their best wishes
for your long continued usefulness to
mankind, and to our nation, and with
the fervent hope on their part that you
and yours may live to enjoy many
years of peace and happiness. To me,
personally, it is very great honor to
be privileged in their behalf to pre-
sent to you, Mr.. President, this testi-
monial of their respect and affection"
The President received the heart
with expressions of deep pleasure and
asked that his thanks be conveyed to
the people who sent it to him.

Havana. - The political agitation
which began six months ago with the
convention of the Liberal party and
which has dwindled since the with
drawal of Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez,
the presidential candidate named by
that convention, ended Friday in an
election that was so quiet and uninter-
esting as to cause scarcely n ripple of
excitement.
The withdrawal of the Liberals from
all nominations as protest against al
legged injustices by the government and
the people in conducting the primaries
left clear field for the Moderates and
every Moderate nominee was elected,

seventy-eight killed and wounded by
the use of firearms. Since the opening
of the deer hunting season four men
have been killed and sixteen wounded
in accidents for which deer hunters
were responsible. The remainder of
the accidents came from the careless
use or guns by hunters.
Taking the killed and wounded for
the deer season alone, it is much
smaller than in former years. probably
owing to the publication of former
