Rudyard Kipling, the we'll known
author, was born at Bombay Dec. 80,
1865. He was sent from India to
England at the age of five and received
his education at the United Services
college at Westward Ho in Devonshire,
of which he is understood to give rem
iniscences in "Stalky & Co." In 1882,
at the early age OF seventeen, he be-
came assistant editor on an Indian
journal, and since that time he mas
been identified with literature. In
1885 he published his first volume,
Departmental Ditties," and the fol-
lowing year the first of his sets of
short stories, which we're to make him
famous all the world over-"Plain
Tales from the Hills Many other
popular books have come from his
pen since that time. Mr.. Kipling lived
for some time in America, bd4 now
divides his time between his homes
n England and in South Africa. His
English home is at Burwash, in
beautiful billy and wooded corner of

that our consular Service he placed on n
plane which comports with the dignity
and the increasing need of the country.
"The development of our agricultural
and Industrial interests demand that we
acquire Il much larger share of tn"
worlds trade than that which we control
toGay.
IF the enterprise, the initiative, tie
ability and the resources of our people
were supplemented by that assistance in
foreign markets which can be given by
a body OF thoroughly efficient consular
representatives.. it is unquestionahle that
il would facilitate in no small measure
the efforts of the United States to achieve
that pre-eminence in foreign trade which
they have in other directions.
"I-nless we have that assistance, how
ever, the development Of our foreign
commerce will be seriously retarded to the
great detriment of our people.
1T is the opinion of the constituent
bodies of this convention that the con-
sular service of the United States should
be recrganized as provided for in Senate
bill 1916, introduced by Senator Lodge
Dec. II, 1905. Every feature of that bill
is, in the judgment of the business or
ganiza ticns of the country, most essential
and in harmony with the growing need of
the United States.
Your petitioners regret therefore that
some of the most vital questions of that
bill have been reviewed from it. but they
none the less recognize as a step in tn
right direction the improvements to be
made in the service by the bill as amend
ed ard passed by the Senate Jan. 20. In
view of the gravity of the interests in
volved they earnestly demand that the
bill be passed at this session of the Con-
gress. Your petitioners deprecate that the
bill as reported by the committee on for
eign affairs of the House eliminates the
provision authorizing the President to
transfer consuls from one post to another
in the same grade.
'"This is q most desirable feature and
your petitioners earnestly beg that it he
reincorporated in the BILL
This practically concluded the business
of the convention.
An adjournment was taken at noon to
go to the Capitol to meet Speaker Cannon.
The delegates called in a body this
afternoon at the White House. There
the President addressed them. He
urged better monetary provisions for
consulS and added:
Make the entrance to the service as
far as possible, non-partisan and make
it at the lowest grades so that desir-
able positions shall come to those who
have rendered good and faithful ser
wee i'll the lower grades. and so that
those entering the lower grades shall
feel that if they do we'll they have a
long and worthy career ahead OF
them.'

Against Our Troops in Philippines and
Gen. Woods Denial.

Washington, March IA cablegram
from Gen. Wood regarding criticisms
of the recent battle of Mount Dejo, on
the Island of Jolo. together with cor
respordence between the President and
Sec. Taft on the subject, were made
public today. Gen. Woods cablegram
was in answer to one sent to him at the
direction of Sec. Taft. who called at
tention to the criticisms of "wantOn
slaughter of Moros" and asked him to
send all the particulars. Gen. Woods
reply denies that there was any wan
ton killing and says a considera bic
number of women and children We're
killed in the fight because they were
actually in the works when assaulted
that Moro women wore trousers and
that children We're used as shields. The
reply was sent by Sec. Taft to the
President with note in which the
secretary says that Gen. Woods answer
the unfortunate loss of life was wholly
unavoidable, to which the President re-
piled that Gen. Woods answer is, of
course, entirely satisfactory"
Gen. Woods dispatch is as follows:

My Dear Mr. Secretary
II have received your letter of March y
with accompanying cable of Gen. Wood

drill twice in succession.
