in a position to express officially any
opinion upon the reported efforts Of
Baron Komura to communicate with
Secretary Root. Taken in connection
with bhe turbulent events at Toxic the

to the rumor that the continuation Of

plenipotentiaries when presented at
Portsmouth, were found to differ from
those Of the Russians, in fact that
their powers were limited, and that to
become effective. their acts required

would seem to indicate he had given
such approval. it is not officially known

RETURN TO SPANISH PLAN.
Uss of Coast Guard Ships Abandoned
in Philippines.

IN FniHpP'hes.
Washington, ID. c., Sept. Z. - The
Philippine government has decided
to discontinue the operation of the
seventeen coast guard ships and to
turn the interwater traffic of the
government over to commercial lines
of steamships. TO accomplish this
purpose specifications have been pre-
pared, and within a few days pro-
posals will be invited both in the
Philippines and this country for
carrying the mails and government
passengers and supplies over twenty
one routes. This plan is practically
a return to the method of transport
tation in vogue under Spanish rule.
When the United States established
civil government in the islands the
seventeen coast guard ships were pur-
chased and put into commission. Pre-
vious to this four commercial COM
panies, owning lines of steamers, con-
Quoted the business, but since then
the government ships, including the
operation Of several transports belong
ing to the uuartermaster's department
of the army, have been carrying the
mails and all Of the government pass
enger and freight traffic.
Some time ago complaint was made
to the Philippine government by the
owners OF merchant steamers that their
business had been ruined thru the use
Of government ships. The civil gov
ernor recognized the complaint to the
extent Of ordering commission to In
yestigate the condition of the inter-
island traffic.

Tho Neutral Language.


Esperanto was devised by DR.. Ia
menhof, Of Beilstock, Russia. The
language has been in existence since
1887.
Phonetic spelling is a feature.
1t has 1000 root words.
All the words common to the prin-
cipal languages have been absorbed
with little, If any, alterations
All of the words, by the use of pre-
fixes and suffixes, are intended to be
sufficient to express every shade OF
thought or action.
The Roman alphabet is used.
The pronunciation is phonetic
throughout-one letter, one sound
The vowels are confined to five. All
consonantal sounds are eliminated.
All singular nouns end In %" all
adiectiyes in "a" all derived adverbs
in "e," and all plurals in a.
All verbs are regular. There is only
one conjugation.
In pronunciation all emphasis comes
on the last syllable but one.
Many thousands of persons through
ont Europe can speak and write 1t flu
entIy. There are many magazines de-
voted to it.
1t is propagated by associations or
ganized to study and extend it's use.
The Esperanto grammar has been
translated into more than twenty Ian
guages and dialects.
1t already has a considerable litera-
ture of it own.
A big convention Of persons inter
ested In Esperanto has Just been held
at Boulogne, France.

MUST PAY EXTRA JUDGES.

Kokomo, Ind, Officers Surprised at
Workings Of New Law.
Kokomo, Ind, Sept. 1.-THE munici-
pal authorities of Kokomo are stag
gered at the practical workings of a
newly discovered provision of the cities
and towns law. This law does not
grant a change Of venue from the city
court, but offenders are given a right
to take a change of venue from the
Judge The result has been to create
a charge of $25 a week, and at this
rate the cost of special Judges to the
city would be $1,000, or $100 more than
the salary of the regular judge.
The common council will urge the
Judge to appoint some person who will
impose heavy penalties to- discourage
changes Of venues.

ly summary of the weather and crop
conditions of the state issued yester-
day, Weather Director Loveland says:
The first half of the week was warm
with maximum temperature quite gen.
orally exceeding 80 degrees. The last
half was cool, with maximum temper
ature below 80 degrees. The daily
mean temperature averaged for the
week less than one degree above nor
NAL in all except the northwestern
counties, and there it averaged two
degrees below normal. Light frost
occurred in the northwestern counties
Sunday and Monday mornings, with
but little or no injury to crops.
The rainfall of the past week was
about confined to slight showers In the
northern counties. In a few instances
the amount was more than one inch,
but generally it was less than one-half
inch. In most of the southern counties
no rain fell.
The past week was an excellent one
for rapid progress with haying and
threshing. The ground is getting
rather dry for blowing in many places,
but this work is well advanced and in
many places completed. Very little
wheat or rye has been sown. Corn
has matured very rapidly and under
favorable conditions. Pastures are
drying up somewhat.
