High Speed.

Victoria, B c., Nov. 23.-The Jap.
anese admiralty has entered upon an
elaborate scheme of naval expansion
which is expected to be approved at The

BE GENEROUS TO PHILIPPINES,



New York, Nov. "A. 5000 Resolutions
| favoring abolishlng American duties ON
Philippine products and repeal OF the
new law to regulate shipping between
this country and the Philippines were
adopted today by the New York Board
OF Trade. The resolutions read In
part:
'fIf the islands are our wards, they
are not part Of the United States and
we should not make the mistake that
what is good for the United States Ia
good for the Philippines. Intense de-
sire is evinced in the Philippines for
the removal OF our duties on their pro-
ducts and, insofar as such abolition
would benefit them, we should gener-
ously grant them that advantage"
In urging upon congress the repeal OF
the shipping act, which will become
operative on July /, 1905, the resoIu-
lions declare that the act will reduce
the facilities for commerce between the
United States and the Philippines and
materially enhance the cost of produce
from the United States or of American
manufactures imported into the Phil
ippines. The resolutions continue:
"There are no American ships in the
trade between the Philippines and the
Atlantic ports, and there would not be
enough American tonnage to carry
425, 900 bales OF -four annually import
I'd at these ports. A great deal OF it
would have to come via the Pacific
ports and over transcontinental rail
roads, and this unnatural route affords
She only competition to check the ex-
lorbitant rates to Atlantic ports made"

Four crops make new high records an

although In amount OF production the
corn Ia the only one that exceeds pre-
vlous yields. In every crop the gen.
eral level OF production was high and
that OF prices still higher. Beside the
enormous yield Of wealth the secretary
estimates that the farms Of the country
have increased in value during the past

AMEND IMMIGRATION LAWS.
Sargenfs Plan for Keeping Out All
Undesirabes.

Washington, Nov. 81. Radical
changes in the immigration laws will
be made next year, IL the suggestions
OF Commissioner General Sargent are
put into effect. Mr.. Sargent is anxious
to have limits placed on the number
OF immigrants, and that persons who
are either too young or too old to sup
port themselves should not be per
mitted to disembark. This would not,
however, apply to those who can furn-
lah guarantees that they are on theil
way to relatives.
Mr.. Sargent believes that by an ar
rangement with foreign governments
the useless traffic Of deportation of i'm
migrants unfit to land here could be
stopped. Before an immigrant is per-
mitted to take passage for America, he
should undergo an examination at the
point of embarkation.

months we had given the closest atten-
ton, and should change it merely be-
cause some parties are not contented

anything this year to prevent the cut
ting, storing and using of rotten ice
by our ice cream dealers. butchers

There have been entirely too many
eases OF typhoid here this season and
we have no doubt large proportion
of cases could be traced directly to the
use Of rotten ice.
AS the Express stated at the time
some of the ice that was put up here
last winter contained filth in various
forms all the way from dead fish tC
ordinary human offal. How such a
condition of affairs can be allowed to
axist is more than we can figure out
