piness. when our ancestors landed upon our eastern shores have been driven from every valley and mountain crest until their race has been nearly an- nthildated. The Philippians, whose an- cestors were kidnapped on the coast of Africa and sold into slavery along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts were sub- jected to unrequited toll for more than POO years and have now increased to between eight and ten millions of souls. More than eight millions of Malays are now held by the arbitrary power of our government, with no immediate pros- pect of relief or independence.
 The red man, the black man, and the brown man have had hard time under our civilization. Whether this will have an effect of changing our form of government from a pure Dem ocracy to a more restricted liberty and centralized power. the future alone can determine. Tn fact. whether these dff- ferent elements of our great population will continue as homogeneous in the future as in the past. is serious problem. 8.
 The only hope and salvation for this nation is universal education and deep seated. strong patriotism that sball permeate and control every com munity and influence the destiny of the entire nation.'

Proposition for suppishns
 Building Purposes.
 Washington, June 14.-An entirely new proposition for the supply of funds for building purposes to San Francisco was developed yesterday through con ferences of the relief committee now here from that city and presented to- day to the House Committee on Appro- priations at a hearing given the Relief Committee.
 The plan, it is said. is the suggestion of Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, who objected decidedly to the proposeo plan for a government loan of S10.o0O,- 600 to the Red Cross or for similar loan to the San Francisco Clearing House Association.
 The plan proposed today Is that Con gress pass a joint resolution authorlz- ing the Secretary of the Treasury to place ten million dollars of govern noent funds on deposit in San Fran cisco under the terms as deposits are made in all government depository hanks with the exception that 1t shall remain where deposited for five or ten years. ros,o @or huilding purposes a local improvement company would be organlzeo' "hLch would transact all the business pe tween the banks having the deposi' and the prospective borrowers. the I'm movement company to assume the re- snonsibility to the bank for loans

STANDARD OIL INQUIRY.
Effort to show Trust Is Favored by the
 RaiIrnads.

Cleveland, O., June 1.-The Inter state Commerce Commission re-opened the investigation of the Standard oil Company here today. C A. Prouty, was the only member of the commits sion present
 In opening the session Commissioner Prouty said he had received a letter from Virgil P. Kline, chief counsel for the Standard oil Company of Ohio on June '. in which it was stated that the Standard oil Company, did not desire at this time to offer any testimony
 MT. Klein, who was present corrobo- rated this statement and said that this course was decided upon because he believed that full reply to all the charges against the Standard Oil Com pany was now on file in the office of the commissioner of corporations
 Commissioner Pourty asked if any body else desired to be heard and the only response was from Chief Coun- sei Marchand, whofsaid he had the tes- timony of one witness to offer, that of M. c. Fully an auditor in the freight department of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway Company.
 MT. Tully's testimony was concern ing storage charges made against the Standard Oil Company at Chicago, and 1t was sought to draw from the wit ness statements concerning the meth ods used by the railroad in, keeping such accounts, 1t being the contention of MT. Marchand that the railroad had allowed the storage charges against the Standard oil Company to go un- paid and that the auditors department In Cleveland had afforded the local agent at Chicago relief in this respect.
 Mir Marchand endeavored to show that this was a roundabout way of giving the Standard Oil Company re- bate. Close questioning on the part of the counsel, however, failed to obtain definite information from the witness regarding such allegations.
 Commissioner Prouty took the wit ness in hand and after a sharp exami- nation ordered him to proceed to his office and obtain the accounts of the Chicago office for the last two years containing the record of freight charg- es. The commission took a recess un- til MT. Tully's return.

BERWINDS APPEAR
JOHN E. HEARD BY COMMERCE
 COMMISSION.
F. J. Berwind, President of the Coal Company, Assures Every Assis- tance in the Investigation
 Now Being Held.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 14.-Assur- ance of every assistance in it's fnves- tigation were given the Interstate Commerce Commission today by E. J. Berwind. head of the. Berwind White Coal Company. 1
 Berwind and his brother John E. Berwind were present at today's ses- sion and the latter was examined by MT. Glasgow who. stated, however. that he was not yet ready to call E. J. Berwind. This was not pleasing to the latter who said to the newspaper re- porter that he returned from Europe for the express purpose of appearing before the commission and had cur tailed his trip for no other purpose,
 The commission decided to suspend the Investigation until next Tuesay. when 1t will be. resumed in Washing ton. at which time Mir. Glasgow has requested the presence of E. J. Ber- wind.
 The most important testimony giv- en by J E. Berwind was his statement that during the time rebates were the custom he had no reason to believe the Berwind-Whfte Company was favored over other shippers and that he be- 1feved thef estimated weights were fair both to the coal company and to the railroad. He admitted also that when the Rerwind-White Company entered the competition or the steamship trade it was assisted so far as was possible by the Pennsylvania Railroad Compa- ny. He said further that it was not possible for steamships to suffer in the matter of charges by reason of the fact that the coal was shipped to Harismus until weighed because the coal loaded into bunkers was weighed by the bucket by steamship company employees.
 Oscar Knipe, Auditor of Freight Re- ceipts. of the Pennsylvania Railroad was questioned at length concerning the charges for Harsimus coal. He said that all freight must be paid for In advance and that when coal shipped by other companies was weighed at Altoona the freight charges were paid and if there was any loss before the coal req ,hed it's destination the claim was investigated and If correct. paid through the claims department. In the case of Berwind White Coal estimated weight of 107,o0o pounds per car was charged and of this amount 100000 pounds were prepaid at Altoona An additional bill was rendered by the railroad company for the remaining seven thousand pounds and the adjust ment of losses was made from this ac- count.

FOREIGN COMMERCE.
Imports and Exports Promise to ]
 Larger Than Ever.

Larger Inan Ever.
 Washington, June 14.--A bulletin on the foreign commerce of the United States, issued by the Department of Commerce and Labor today says:
 The foreign commerce of the United States during the financial year which ends with this month promises to ex- ceed in both imports and exports that of any earlier year. The details of ten months of the years commerce have been announced and should May and June show as large a monthly average as that of the months for which the record has been made, the imports will be $1,225, 100000, and the exports $1,- 7S6, ,000, 900, or total of little more than three billion dollars. The figures of the fiscal year of 1905 exceed. both as to imports and exports. those of any prior year, and the recorded imports of ten months of 1906 exceed by nearly one hundred millions, and exports ex- ceed by over s200,000,000 those of the corresponding months of last year.
 Tn imports the increase occurs in all cases except food stuffs and export the increase occurs in every class, but es- pecially in foodstuffs and manufac- lures.
 The decrease in the importation of articles of food occurs chiefly in sugar and coffee.
 Trade with the non-contiguous terri tories of the United States also shows an increase in the grand total. but not in merchandise received.
