striving for self-government. Father Hardy, of the Catholic Church, Bishop Brent, of the Eplscopalians, and sev- eral members of the commission were interested. At a recent meeting in large hall in Manila five thousand peo- pie were present and the reports of the .society's progress were received with yells of delight. fhe Filipino has talk en up the American style of cheering, and it was three times three for every governor who indorsed the leagues work. Governor Gabaldon, of Nueva Ecija, Governor Quezon, of Tayabas, and Governor Angco, of Ilocos Sur, wrote long letters telling of the work in various towns. Over one hundred were reported as having either destroyed the cockpit or turned 1t into other uses. The best sign of, the agitation is the liberal and almost unanimous response
 
 from the presidentes of the many towns. Those answering, numbering nearly ninety-five per cent. of those ad- dressed in the matter, have expressed themselves as thoroughly in accord with the movement, and they have all undertaken to see that the cockpit is closed, The result will undoubtedly be that the national legislative body will pass a law making cockfighting and the maintenance of cockpit an offence against the law, thus putting the mat ter within the power of the police and constabulary to stop.
 One of the speakers at the Manila meeting declared that the awakening of the Filipinos to the evils of the game was due to the American school teachers, and to them all thanks were due. The Americans have also intro duced baseball in the Philippines, and that is a great boon, If the Filipinos get really interested in baseball they will forget cockfghting.

REFORM IN THE pHI1IPpryEs.

This is a world of change. Awhile ago we were told that cockfghting was about the greatest obstacle to progress in the Philippines, and that there was small hope that that noble sport would become less popular and less absorbing. But recent arrivals from the Philip pines tell of a remarkable crusade against cockfghting that has been sweeping over the islands. So great has been the influence of the public ag- itation that natives have entered into the movement with great zest and have even cheerfully given up what has always been considered the national sport. The movement was started by a number of prominent natives who joined with Americans to abolish the custom, which was considered degrad- ing and unworthy of 8 people who are

Great Improvements Under Way or
 Planned for Washington,
 More than fifty million dollars is now being spent upon buildings and bridges of public character in and around Washington, and when work already undertaken has been completed Wash- ington will be without peer as city of architectural beauty. In addition to the projects amounting to more than fifty million dollars now decided upon and under way improvements costing an additional twenty million dollars are projected. These improvements cover wide stretch of territory ex- tending from the Soldiers Home on the north to the arsenal peninsula on the south and from Rock Creek gorge on the west to the marshes of the east ern branch.
 When the senate and house office buildings are connected the plaza east of the Capitol will be almost surround ed on its four sides by one of the most magnificent groups of public structures in the world. The north and south sides of this plaza will be bounded re- spectiyely by the senate and house of- fee buildings, which together are to cost seven million dollars. The west will be bounded by the imposing struc- ture of the Capitol the eastern front of which is to be extended in marble at cost of $1,330OOO. The eastern side will be partially bounded by the Libra ry of Songress building. which has cost the government s6,92O.OOO. The other blocks of ground east of the Capitol plaza and just north of the Library of Congress will ultimately be occupied by a splendid structure for the Su- prene court of the United States

pUyNsY1TANIA,S GOOD ROADS.

Pennsylvania is big State, and the need of good roads there is as big as the State. At last the good roads are coming. The legislature of 1903 appro- priated a total of $6,5OO,OO0 to be ex- pended under the direction of the State highway department in the ensuing six years. For the first two years $5OO,OO0 for each was made available, $1,250,O00 for each of the next two years and $1,- 5OO, GOO for the fifth and sixth years. Roads have been completed up to date equal to 86 miles at a cost of $780, 46477, averaging $S,66S.S7, and there are 149 miles under construction which will cost $1,215, S2214. These roads are in every county in the State and are built and will be maintained by the State. The roads are so far in small sections and scattered but as the system be- comes older and the work progresses they will become connected until the whole State is covered with first class highways.
 By and by Pennsylvania, will be right in line with Connecticut in this import ant matter, but it will take much time and money for her to have proportion ately as many good roads as Connectl- cut has and is going to have.
