IDENT'S CABINET.

Washington, March 12.-It is the
presidents intention to offer cabinet
place to George Y. i. Meyer Of Massa-
chusetts, present American ambassa-
dor to st. Petersburg. 1t is probable
that the portfolio to be extended will
be that of secretary of war in the
event that Secretary Taft accepts the
position of associate justice OF the SUI

case Secretary Taft does not accept
the position offered Mr.. Meyer Will IN

Great Rush of New Settlers.

Forty thousand new settlers is the
estimate placed on South Dakota's
great influx Of immigrants for the
year 1906 The railroads figure they
~bll haul at least 5000 cars of settlers,
thelr stock, household effects, etc.,
from the way people are now coming
IN, which, on the average of five to
car, which number is allowed, makes
up the big total of 10000 for the state
In year. This estimate is a conserva-
tive one and is likely to be greatly ex-
celled The last six days have seen
25O cars, or 1900 people, all come to
stay, go through Yankton on just one
line and this is but part, as it takes
into consideration only the immigrant
trains, which are really freights. This
state is experiencing the greatest rush
of new settlers in all it's history.

tinue Present Agreement.
New York, March 1.-THE commit
tee representing the anthracite coal
operators has refused the propositions
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea for a readjustment of wages and

sion, the principles upon which they
were established for carrying out their
findings and awards, shall be contin-
ued for a further term of three years

WOOD TELLS OF THE FIGHT.
Says There Was No Wanton Destruc.
ton of Women and Children.


Manila, March 13.-Major General
Wood, who has arrived here, has an
nounced that he assumes full respon-
sibility for the fight against the Moros
at Dajo hill near Jolo. He said that
there was no wanton destruction of
women and children in the fight,
though the Moros used them as shields
in the hand-to-hand fighting. General
Wood declared that many of the wo.
men wore male attire and their sex
could not be distinguished Another
confusing cause was the desperation
with which the women fought, the
priests having worked all of the Moros
to a religious frenzy. Many of the
Moros feigned death and butchered
the American hospital men who were
relieving the wounded.
