THE ISLE OF PINES TREATY
Cuban Government Would Doubtless
be Unsuccessful in Securing Cession
Of the Island. Largely Inhabited by
Americans.

Enough coal has been discovered in
ahe Island Of Batan, of the Philip
pines group, to supply the army, the
navy and the Philippines government
with a good quality of fuel for pc
~lod OF $50 years according to the re-
port of Brig. Gen. Humphrey, quarter
master general of the army. The es-
Innate has been made on the theory
chat 100000 tons of coal would be
used year. The coal has been tested
on some Of the interisland transports
with favorable results. Gen. Hum
ohrey makes plea to congress for
$4,000 to buy the coal lands, on
which an option is now held by the
government. The option expires on
March ! next year, and the necessary
$4,000 will be an item in the urgent
deficiency bill. The island Of Batan
is off the southwest coast Of Luzon,
and at the entrance of the Gulf of
Albay. At present the coal used in
the Philippines by the army, the navy
and the insular government comes
from Australia and Japan. The
freightage is very high, and by the
time the coal is delivered it is very ex-
pensive. Then, too, owing to the ma
rine conditions in the Orient, it has
been found necessary to keep a large
reserve supply on hand. At Batan the
coal is easily obtainable,. and at an not
unusual cost docks may be built which
can easily be utilized by vessels Of
the largest size. cit is estimated"
says Gen. Humphrey, "that by es-
tablishing mint and coaling station
at this point an aggregate saving
would be effected to the three branches
OF the government, based on the price
Of coal at Manila, of $4,000 per
years"

Successfully Treated by
Ascatco.

Vienna, Jan. S.T-Reports compiled
by medical statisticians show a mark
ed decrease in the number of fatali-
ties due to diseases of the respirato-
ry organs. Catarrh and asthma, the
primary diseases. have been so
successfully treated by the new drug
ascatco. that fatal tuberculosis has
been noticeably checked.

Mr.. o. M. SewalI, Formerly Of

Positions.
MANY LOSE THEIR ions

Oscar NJ. Sewell. chief clerk in the
Office of General MANAGE q. A..

road, has iAirned his position The
resignation has resulted in a con-
siderable shake-up in the Office force,
several men being thrown entirely
out by the change and others being
shifted to various Offices.
No successor has been appointed
to Mr.. Sewell, but on his resig lat ion
the office of chief clerx to the gsner

company.
The force of the general manager
The force of the general managers

absorbed by the auditing department.
Just how many will be thrown en-

change is fully brought about.
Mr.. Sewell has been with the zen.
nessee Central since July, 1908. join

AND WHAT NEXT

The surrender of Port Arthur was
probably not unexpected. although
so many unfounded and conflicting
reports had been sent out in regard
to the capitulation Of the fortress
that people had begun to doubt any
thing they read in regard to its fall.
While the capture may be serious
blow to Russia, which already has
ominous internal troubles, 1t does
not necessarily mean an early close
of the war. Japan has the advant-
age on the scene of nostilties, but
this could have been said at the be-
ginning of the war, as well as now.
That Russia will be more than ever
determined to retrieve her lost mill
tary glory is the concensus of mill
tary and diplomatic opinion. Rivers
of blood have flowed. and there may
be oceans of 1t yet to be shed. That
is a question for the. future to solve
There died about Port Arthur, &C
cording to reports, 2l,OOO or the
courageous defenders, and $1,000 OF
the troops that fought under the Sun
flag. The advantage to japan may be
worth 1t, but the civilized world will
look on aghast at such slaughter,
and doubt II.
II these two nations, however,
each seemingly with as inexhausti-
BILE courage as 1t has resources, want
TO fight II out, there is apparently no
way to prevent II. No nation can in
terfere, although many would like to
see the end of hostilities. The war is
shock to that noble feeling that
prompted the Hague tribunal, and
Is not encouraging for the future of
those principles advocated by the
most enlightened nations of world
to secure universal peace.
Port Arthur has fallen. What
next?

SCHOOL BOARD
DID NOT REORGANIZE LAST
NIGHT AT CALLED
MEETING.
Eligibility Of Two New Members
Called Into Question.

The reorganization Of the board OF
education was not effected last night.
When the new members presented
themselves to qualify. the eligibility
of DR.. Harry Williamson, of the sec
ond ward. and Mr.. Lycurgus Rice, OF
the fourth ward. was challenged.
The absurd claim was made that DR..
Williamson, because he is an exam
liner for federal pensions, was ineli-
gible 10 be school trustee. and II
was also claimed that Mr. Rice was
not a property owner at the time OF
his election.
DR.. Williamson was seated by a
vote of six to five, Messrs. Morrison
and Madison voting for him, and
Mr., Rice's case was referred 10 a
committee composed OF Trustees Cole,
Gallman and Jones, with instrue-
tions to report at the next regular
meeting tonight.
The election OF a vice president
and secretary was not entered into
last night on account OF the incom-
plete organization, but is expected to
take place tonight. This evening II
is understood, the matter OF paying
the school teachers for a complete
month for December, will come up
again.

in the board of Aldermen. When the
latter meets, Thursday II will not be
so easy as last night. II is to be
hoped there will be no deadlock. for
a deadlock will mean a suspension

PLAYING POLITICS.

The Democrats seem to have made
the qualification Of members of the
legislative and school boards in Pa
ducah matter of politics. They
seem to think that the city belongs
~ them, and that no one else has a
riEhk e.. hold Office. This may be
mere arrogance resulting from long
service at the public crib, or it may
be simple partisanship. At any rate
they appear to now be seeking every
possible technical objection. no mat
ter how trivial, to prevent the newly
elected Republican members from
