MEAT CONFERENCE ENDED.
Some Of the Packers Won't BE Ready

While the light holds out to burn
Every packer may return.
That was not exactly the way that Sec
rotary Wilson has stated the intention OF
the Agricultural Department with regard to
meat inspection. but 1t expresses the gen
eral tenor OF his remarks. The two days
conference with the packers ended FRI

that time had submitted their labels. There

the cold when the inspection law goes into
effect on October 1. but In all probability

they may come up with labels and requests
for inspection at any time. and the Secre-
tary announced that none Of them would be
turned down, no matter when they came.
There will be a large amount of manufac-
tured stun on the shelves of the retailers
and in stock In many Of the packing houses
and their branch stores when the law goes
into effect. Probably q large part OF these
goods will be sold within the limits OF the
state IN which they happen to be at the
time. There is nothing against this in the
law. But this food must be inspected be-
fore 1t can go into interstate commerce. OF
course each can cannot be inspected, be-
cause to open a can destroys It. But there
eminent experts, and the inspectors wise
will be placed on the lot accordingly.
All goods manufactured after the list OF
October must be inspected as they are man
ufactured. The packers have expressed
their willingness to comply with the law.
and the government guarantee OF their
goods Is expected to be a valuable asset.

WILL BE NO CHANGE
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
DISPOSES OF, RUMoR.

The statement that a change had been
decided upon in the position Of assistant
superintendent for the colored schools Of
the District, held by w. s. Montgomery
was denied this afternoon by Supt. Chan
cellor in speaking with a reporter for The
Star. DR.. Chancellor not only stated that
no change had been made in the assistant
SUPPLEMENTARY, but asserted that none is
contemplated.
The report which was disposed of by the
positive denial of the superintendent
had been given considerable cred
ence in several quarters as 1t ap-
peared to have come from an au-
thentic source. 1t was to the effect that a
colored educator named Dubois of Atlanta,
Ga, had already been selected for the place
occupied by Mr.. Montgomery.
In regard to the allegation that Assistant
Superintendent Montgomery had Endorsed
ords were below the average necessary to
secure their appointment, DR.. Chancellor
stated that 1t had been found that Mr.
montgomery had acted within his rights in
each case. DR.. Chancellor said there were
only a few names which were called in
question in this connection. and in each in
stance. he stated. it was shown that there
was nothing more involved than differ
ence or opinion between Mr.. Montgomery
and others concerned in passing on the APP
plications.
DR.. Chancellor said that there are vet 100
or more names to be selected to complete
the list Of teachers. He was inclined to
think that nearly all the list would be fin
ished at the meeting of the board tomor-
row, but he doubted if the set of names
would then be completed.
DR.. Chancellor took occasion to remark
that he Is proceeding slowly in the matter
Of making changes. He said he Is in favor
Of changes only when it is apparent that
they would be "for the good Of the service"
1t is understood number of teachers
who are alleged to be below the required
average in the grades in which they are
employed are to be brought before the
superintendent at an early day. and that
some of them may be required to demon
strate their qualifications.

MANILA A FREE PORT
ABOLITION OF TONNAGE AND
NAVIGATION DUES.

The bureau of insular affairs has been
informed by the governor general of the
Philippine Islands that on August 81 the
Philippine commission passed an act
abolishing all tonnage dues and naviga-
ton dues. to take effect Immediately. Here
tofore the tonnage dues In the Philippine
Islands have been regulated by section IA
Of the act approved March 3. 1905, en-
titled AN act to revise and amend the
tariff laws of the Philippine Islands and
for other purposes" This section provided
that on the sentry of a vessel from a port
or place not In the Philippine Islands a
duty OF 8 cents per ton, not, however, to
exceed 80 cents per net ton per annum. as
expressed in her international certificate
of registry. should be levied, provided that
In case Of a vessel from port or place
not in the Philippine Islands lading or
discharging cargo less than the net tom
mage Of the vessel, dues Of 90 cents may
be imposed at the option Of the consignee
of the cargo in lieu of the usual tonnage
dues.
The governor Of the Philippine Islands
was authorized to modify, suspend or re-
peal the provisions quoted respecting ton
mage dues by section IL of an act approved
February g, 1905, which was continued in
effect by section 20 of the act of March
3, 1905, above referred to. By this act of
the Philippine commission Manila becomes.
In fact, the only free port, in SO far as
cred, in the orient. Hongkong, which Is,
usually referred to 40 free port, imposes
a tax, designated light dues" of / cent
Mexican per ton; Singapore, light dues Of
3 cents per ton: Saigon. IS cents per ton;
Shanghai, % cents per ton, which includes
all tonnage dues at that port and other
open ports of China for four months; Yoko-
hama and other Japanese ports. 231 cents
per ton for each entry, or 711 .cents per
ton for a period Of twelve months without
additional charges.
The vessels most favorably affected by
this will be those from the United States
and other places remote from the Philip
pine Islands, which in general had to pay
the full 6 cents per ton under section IA
Of the act Of March 3, 1905. heretofore in
force. The vessels least affected will be
those sailing between Manila and Hong
kong, which, making from twenty-four to
thirty entries in Manila in one year, by
taking advantage Of the 30 cents maximum
per ton per annum, paid but little over I
cent per ton on each entry. This, it Is
thought, with the very greatly improved
port facilities in Manila, will remove the
last complaint against that port.
The income to the Philippine government
from the above source, which is by this
act given up for the future, was between
sixty and seventy thousand dollars.
