PHILIPPINE ELECTIONS
TO CHOOSE GOVERNORS

Washington, March 5.-Governor
General Ide has cabled the war depart
ment from Manila an account of the
outcome of the Philippine elections
Wednesday. The provincial elections
being in way educational, and the
Filipinos unused to suffrage in any
form, the results are watched with the
keenest interest by the war depart
ment. The text of Gov. Ide's dispatch
follows:
Provincial elections satisfactory.
Not single instance of disorder, al
though many ballots we're required to
elect in numerous instances. Have
confirmed all elected except three sus-
pended for Investigation. charged with
bribery and intimidation. Sandiko
and Deveyra were elected and con-
firmed, as was also Reynolds, an Amer
lean, who was elected on the seventh
ballot. Eight Of the present governors
were reelected.
Sandiko is q leading agitator for in.
dependence. Deverya is prominent
newspaper man among the Filipinos.
Reynolds was captain of the Thirty
first volunteer regiment and subse-
quently appointed treasurer OF the
province of Albay, of which he has
doubtless been elected governor.

FUTURE OF FRANCE 4
PROVINCE OF GERMANY

London, March 5.-Advices from
continental capitals quoting newspa-
per expressions in regard to the AlQer.
icas conference show better than any.
thing else the strained relations-sxist-
ing between France and Germany.
Paris Temps, commenting on the
situation, says: In France there is
neither weakness nor nervousness, only
unanimous resolution to safeguard
the national interests. It is to her in
terest to preserve the security of Al.
geria, because in the event of trouble
arising in Algeria it would be necessa-
~ for France to send 1OO, 900 or $780,
600 men there, and this would disor-
ganize the home defenses, leaving
France at the mercy Of continental ag-
gression.
The German view is set forth in the
Staatsbuerger Zeitung, Pan-German
organ, which says: The Moroccan
controversy must lead to war sooner
or1ater. Even if the conference, dis
perses without very acute crisis, wal
must inevitably come. and the end
will be the death of France. France
will share the fate of Alsace and Lor-
raine and become German crown
province, being ruled absolutely by
the German emperor.

enough to pay the bonded Indebtedness

One of his little foibles was vaude-

less than $500.
For his world-famed mansion on the
avenue Bots de Boulogne, known as

money than he can ever accurately
tell. He liked the location so well
that he paid $4,000 for the land
alone. and before he had got through
he had produced palace that any
king in Europe might envy.
One Of the details of the palace is
a set of fountains built in the garden,
which he could run for ten minutes
at the trif1ing cost of $1,000. Then he
got the idea that he wanted to, be a
|yachtsman, so he bought the yacht
valhalla for 100000 and planned to
sail her on scale that totaled $50. 600

but that's another part of his story.
When he was elected to the Chamber

was 100000. He seemed to like that
amount. for it figures frequently In
