BUREAU FOR THE ISLANDS
Better Method of Handling Insular
Affairs Being Vigorously
Agitated.

There has for some time been a
growing sentiment in congress that
something must be done to further the
interests of Porto Rico, Guam, Hawaii
and possibly Alaska, especially to fa-
cilitate the transaction of administra-
tive details affecting these possessions.
There has even been some talk of Gre
ating a department OF insular affairs,
but that idea has met with little en-
couragement. 1t is not deemed desira-
BILE to enlarge the cabinet and ii is
doubtful if the present necessities are
sufficiently numerous to warrant such
course.
Now, however, the belief that some
thing should be done appears to be
taking tangible shape in the PROPOSE
tion to increase the personnel of the
existing bureau of insular affairs of
the war department. and confide to 1t
the care of such administrative work
connected with the possessions named
as it may be necessary to perform in
Washington.
At present Alaska and Hawaii are
cared for by the interior department,
while Guam and Porto Rico are cared
for by the war department Under this
arrangement Alaska and Hawaii ap-
pear to fare reasonably well, but resi-
dents Of both places insist that much
more could be done to further their in
terests than is now effected; that there
is a lack Of system in presenting to
congress their respective needs, and
that the existence of an official who
would devote his efforts solely to their
interests and to those of the Philip
pines would unquestionably work to
their material advantage.
Porto Ricans are especially insistent
on some further provisions for their
welfare and to some extent the inter
ests of little Guam might be promoted
to advantage.
The petitions and requests Of these
islands are now supposed to be cared
for by the secretary Of war, and citi-
zens of these islands are compelled to
appeal to him for anything they may
require of the federal governmental
which imposes an unwar-
rantable amount of detail on the secre-

FATAL EXPLOSION
AT CHELSEA
One Killed, Many Injured,
Homes Wrecked and Team
of Horses Blown
Into Atoms.

At about l:30 this afternoon a tre-
menduous explosion took place two
miles west of Chelsea, the particulars
of which, owing to the poor telephone
service it is impossible to obtain.
A quantity of dynamite, it seems,
exploded and tore hole in the earth
six feet deep and thirty feet in length
The body of James O'Harra was blown
to atoms and a head and neck of a
horse was all that had been found of
a team that stood nearby. Buildings
in Chelsea were badly wrecked in
Guiding the Post Office, Adair hotel
and other buildings Mrs Dan Evans
and a small son are among the injured.
The belief is that wagon load of
being hauled out from the
torpedo works, to where the oil wells
are being "shot," exploded.

tary and which is often fraught with
difficulties to Porto Ricans and others,
because the secretary is an extremely
busy man, too often unable to attend
to matters which, compared with his
other duties, are of minor Importance,
although they may be regarded as of
the grayest importance by the people
interested.
This condition Of affairs has for
some time impressed itself on mem
bers of congress. They are IN more or
less constant receipt of requests both
for information and assistance from
citizens of these insular possessions
and from constituents for information
concerning them Members so impor-
tuned are compelled to seek the secre-
tary OF war, but he has no official to
whom he can refer them for details,
or who can Investigate the propositions
they present and reply to the inquiries
and too often such demands remain
for a considerable time unattended to
on Secretary Taft's desk.
We're the bureau Of insular affairs
charged with these duties, it is main
tanned, all this would be remedied. The
insular possessions would have In
Washington an official who would de-
vote his time to their interests, and
present to the secretary Of war, when
he came to prepare his annual report,
a brief and intelligent statement of the
needs OF the islands and of Alaska. and
the results would be far more salts
factory than the present system or lack
Of system.
Moreover, should it become necessary
in time to provide a department of in
sular affairs, this bureau could be
taken from the war department and
would form the nucleus for such de-
partment.
No recommendation along these lines
Is made in the annual report of the
secretary Of war, but Mr.. Taft has been
sounded on the subject and has signi-
fed his approval Of the general idea.
1t is possible that congress may not
act finally on the scheme at this ses-
sion, although the proposition is likely
TO be discussed to some extent, and il
Is regarded as certain that sooner or
later the existing sentiment will crys-
tallize into Legislation Ane thea lines.

REVIVAL OF CORN LAWS PROPOSED
Joseph Chamberlain Would Put Small Tax on Wheat imported
Int Great Britain, but Would Arrange for the Free
Admission of Raw Materials.

London, Jan. 1.-Joseph Chamber
lain published his election manifesto
today. After vigorously attacking the
new government, which he describes
as being essentially a home rule little
Engiander government" depending for
its existence on Irish votes he deyotes
himself entirely to an exposition of his
fiscal policy, especially to the subject
of colonial preference, which he speaks
of as the first item in the constructive
programme of the Unionist party,
the second item, loosely connected with
the first being the policy of retalIa-
ton. He declares that the colonies
will not wait indefinitely but viii be
forced to enter into arrangements with
strangers.
Tax on Wheat.
He points out that the scheme of
colonial preference Will include a pro-
vision for small tax on foreign
wheat, but says that as both home
grown and colonial wheat viii be free
and the supply from the colonies un-
limited, the price of bread viii not be
increased In the slightest degree

Boise, Ida, Jan. 1.-The officers be-
Aieve they have one Of the men respon-
ssible for the assassination OF ex-
Governor Stelnenberg. He is one of
those who have been under suspicion.
This man registered at the Saratoga
hotel three weeks ago as NJ. J. Hogan,
giving Denver as his address. A year
ago he stopped at the Pacific hotel,
registering as Thomas Hogan.
Fish Lines Found.
A search of his room at the Saratoga
hotel resulted IN the finding of an old
! Overcoat and some other rough clothes,
also some fish lines similar to the
pieces found at the scene of the explo-
sion supposed to be part of the string
with which the trigger Of the Internal
machine was pulled. Further, IN his
grip was lot Of white powder be-
lieved to be a high explosive. There
was also something that looked like
brown wrapping paper, but it would
mot burn. The contents of the grip are
in the hands Of chemists.
Was in Bull Pen.
II is stated that Angus Sutherland.
former sheriff OF Shoshone county, who
is on the ground, has recognized this
man as one who was in the famous

been confirmed nor another that Mat

determined to bring Hogan to Boise
this evening as the jail at Caldwell. is
a very poor affair and affords no op-
portunity to keep suspects apart.
After conference, however, it was
determined TO keep him there, since
lit was feared the removal of him
would be construed as evidence OF fear
of mob violence.
Mysterious Actions.
Hogan has been a rather mysterious
character. He often went out, giving
some explanation OF his absence At
one time he went out to look at land
he said. but II was known he had not
left town. The officers believe he was
carefully laying the plans for the
crime and expected to escape suspi-
cion by remaining in his quarters in
the hotel until a convenient opportu-
nifty should be presented TO take his
departure.
