NJ HEN secretary ISlC and his
NJ party OF Congressman and
7" Senators visited Zamboanga.
Mindsnao. a little more than
enc year ago, each visitor was pre-
sented with a copy of special edition
OF the Mindsnso Herald. the only
American paper published outside Of
Manila, in which was set forth the
claims OF the people OF Mindanso
toward territorial annexation.
That was the first semi-oficisl pre-
sentation of Mindanaas ambition But
1he movement had been launched sew
erai years before. Since the Secretary's
visit the idea has grown tremendously.
Recent press dispatches announce that
the annexation of Mindanao is favor

and Manila. Every one seems for it.

lie political connection with the rest Of
the Philippines. The Spanish, although
they supported garrisons in accessible
localities. never successfully maintained
supremacy over the hundreds Of scat
tered Moro dattos or feudal chieftains
who continually warred not only With
the soldiers OF Spain but among them
selves. Mindanao has. therefore never
entered into the Philippine political sit
ustion. The claim OF Aguinaldo and
the Tagalog junta that the United
States in taking possession of the Phil
ippines was appropriating a nation as
pirine to freedom was never extended

by the sea hundreds of miles to the
south.
ncxation is that Mindanao is almost to-
tally undeveloped and is sparsely set
tied. It's vast interior is inhabited by
only few wild and pagan tribes. For
days you may travel there without
meeting q creature nearer to mankind
than an ape. The Moro population, a

said an American in Mindanao to me.
II is surprising to what an extent
Americans have penetrated into this
huge island. You will find them every
where, even in unexpected and remote
regions There are probably more
promising opportunities for young men
OF moderate means in Mindanao than in
any other SECTION of the Philippines
The reason Tor this is due to the fact
that the island is without other popu-
latIon than that encountered by our
own pioneers, who blaZed their way
across the plains of the West in the
early settlement of the United States.

CONFESSED AND THEN CRIED.

a. young girl living in Jersey City
was taken before Chief of Police Ben
janlin Murphy yesterday in company
with her mother to explain why she
had forged woman's name to a note
requesting the latter's daughter to
give the bearer S. in a hurry, as she
was sadly in need Of the money.
II didn't do 1t, honest, l didn't" she
said with a flash of her big browneyes.
"You have hurt my feelings terribly"
The chief went to a telephone in an
where the girl said she was en-
ployed. He was informed that she
had been discharged a week ago. Then
he returned to his office and, address,
ing the child, said:
II want to tell you. story about a
little girl 1 once knew. She had
job In factory and was liked by all
her workmates, but one day the boss
got mad at her for some foolish little
mistake she had made and discharged
her. She had been in the habit of
taking SO to her mother every Safer
day and, of course, she knew her
mother would be dreadfully risap-
pointed if she failed to bring home the
money. She was afraid to tell her
she hal lost her place, and what do
you suppose she did? She had read
somewhere how somebody managed to
get some money by sending letter
to poor woman and she tried the
same trick. 1t worked and she got
the IS. She gave So to her mother
telling her it was her wages, and
wha did you do with the other $2.?"
II put 1t here, Mr.. Murphy" ex-
claimed the suspect as she Owed down
into her stocking and fished out a
badly crumpled 80 bill. "Tm awfully
sorry and 1 promise you I'll never be
bad again"
Then the tears came and when she
had finished her cry the chief sent her
home with her mother.-New York

1T DID SAN FRASNCISCO PEOPLE
GOOD.
Those who were in San Francisco
during not only the earthquake, but
the subsequent days of flight before
fire, and who looked upon such scenes
of death and despair and abominable
desolation as in their well-ordered
commonplace lives they had never
dreamed of must carry with them
for many years a grim feeling Of i'm
potence and philosophy. Rich men
must have received mental shock
comparable only to the earthquake
itself, and socialists must have OBJ
served that Nature accomplished in
% seconds what they have failed to do
in half a century. I do not see how it
can do other than good. Frivolity, the
most objectionable and farreaching Of
all vices, Is at an end in San Francisco
for years to come. Rich women, who
have been cooking in the streets in an
oven made from their fallen chimneys,
andSmay have to do their own washing
until frightened servants can be in
duced to return to the city, who have
been confined with as little ceremony
and shelter at the women of wander
ing tribes, and the men who stand in
line for tours for their portion of bread
and potatoes, look back upon the ordi-
nary routine of their idle lives with a
mixture of wonder and contempt. Old
people, who vegetated in corners and
feared drafts, are active and interested
for the first time in a quarter of CEN
fury. Even dyspeptics are cured, for
everybody, even the normally fed, is
hungry all the time. Everybody looks
back upon the era 'before the earth
oualSe" as a period ofinsipidity, and
wonders how he managed to exist. If
they are appalled, at the sight of
civilization arrested and millions of
property and still more to be lamented
treasure gone up in smoke, they are
equally auuiver with a renewed sense
of individuality, of unsuspeoted forces
they are keen to pit against Nature

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
A Tagging MARKET WITH RISE
IN SPECIALTIES.

Rise in Wheat the Disturbing Factor
But This Was Discounted-POOls Ac-
tive.
The stock market was llstless and
uncertain yesterday, but few big
stocks like Delaware and Hudson were
pushed up to hold the market, and
there was an evident effort of the pools
to mark up their specialties.
The rise in what was used by the
bears, but the recent rise in the cereal
had discounted considerable amount
If damage. The granger shares, such
as Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific, Rock
island and Atchison, were among the
strongest issues on the list
Those who predicted before the open
Ing that Consolidated Gas, as a result
of the court decision, would advance
very sharply yesterday, were disap-
pointed. The behavior of this issue was
unimportant. But it is in the habit Of
doing just the opposite of what is pre-
dicted.
The Wabash refunding operation and
the provision for large amount Of new
capital was regarded as beneficial to all
Of the Gould lines. Missouri Pacific re-
sponded readily to this sentiment.
The putting up of certain issues 10, 20
or 80 points, even though they are gilt
edged issues, beyond the purchasing
power of the average person, created
an impression yesterday that lower
priced issues will advance also, though
not so much.
The bears pointed to lower markets
abroad, which reflected in some selling
here for London and continental ac-
count, and the talk of niger money
soon.
The sharp rise in Delaware and Hud-
son looked very much like a move to
sell the new 4 per cent. bonds, which
were very active on the curb, running
up IA points to 11O1-2 on sales of
more than 100000 From another
standpoint the rise in the high-priced
coalers might be regarded as a part Of
the market programme, for the pur-
pose Of stimulating public interest in Sc
curities
