Col. Ayres Retired.

Lieut.. Col Charles E. Ayres,
Fourteenth Cavalry, has been placed
on the retired list of the army from
this date on the finding of retiring
board that be is incapacitated for
active service on account Of disabili-
ty incident to the service.
This action was the indirect result
of the reported interview, in which
Col. Ayres was reported to have crit
icisAd the methods of administering
justice as an outcome Of a difficulty
which Mrs. Ayres had had with the
authorities at ,be Military Academy.
Lieut.. Col. A. YES was asked by the
department. whether he had made the
statements contained in the interview,
a question he declined to answer.
Those who had been at work on his
case for some time developed the
fact that he had before been examin-
ed by medical board as to fitness
for active military service. There
upon it was resolved by the depart
ment authorities to have another ex-
animation of this character made be-
fore proceeding legally against Lieut..
Col Ayres and the board appointed,
in accordance with this decision, have
found that he was incapacitated for
duty. Under the regulations the on
ly course open was to order his re-
tirement, which the President has
done.

Registration in Philippines.

The Bureau of Insular Affairs re-
ceived information from the Cover
nor General Of the Philippines that
the returns from registration prepara-
tory to election of members of the
Philippines Assembly, which will take
place July 80, seems to indicate a
falling off compared with 1905. In
Manila the total registration was
1902, of which number 865 was Am
ericans. This will be the first op-
portunity which the citizens Of Man.
liza have had to vote and it is impos-
sible to compare this registration
with the registration for prior periods
but in 1905, in the province of Pam
panga, which has but 5000 more civ
ilizedA inhabitants than the city of
Manila, the total registration was
6,641, and In Pangasinin prov-
ince, which has a civilized population
of 394,516, as compared with 219,92S.
For Manila there was a registration
Of 9716, ad in Rizal, the province Of
Manila, there are 178, Jas.
It was expected that the registra-
ton in the city of Manila would be
very large.

Jordan Pessimistic.

Atlanta, Ga.-President Harvey
Jordan returned from a tour of the
cotton belt and declared that while
conditions of the growing crop has
improved. August will be critical
month. He said:
Although the crop has improved in
the past thirty days, it is still four
weeks late and it will go into August
but will not be matured. This will
make August the most critical period.
Adverse conditions in that month and
September and early October frosts
will reduce the crop. Mill men are
saying that the prices will be higher.
I cannot see any higher prices for
cotton at this time under existing cir
cumstances.
Mr.. Jordan said that Southern far
mers are coming to realize the value
of weather bulletins.

Lightning's S Franks.

Augusta, Ga,-The storm which
swept over Augusta did much dam.
age to property and incalculable dam.
age to the fruit and shade trees. II
also played some queer pranks. One
bolt of lightning which set fire to
the cotton in the card rooms in the
Augusta cotton factory was followed
by another which turned on the au.
tomato sprinkler system, quickly ex-
tinguishing the fire by flooding all
parts of the building. Large quanti-
ties of manufactured goods were ruin
ed and the damage to machinery will
be very heavy. Telephone, telegraph,
electric lighting and street car COM
panies suffered heavily and sewers
and drains were greatly damaged by
the food of water.

New Pesos Discounted.

Washington. Legislation will pe
needed, according to advices received
by the Bureau of Insular Affairs, in
order to enforce the circulating OF
the new Philippine pesos which are
being issued by the Bureau of the
Mint at the request of the insular ad-
ministration. Chinese traders are
manipulating the new currency, ex-
changing it only at discount for
the old pesos. The discount runs
from 10 to 20 per cent, and in the re-
meter provinces is reported to go as
high as 40 per cent. An act direct.
ed against this practice # dis
counting the new peso will probably
be passed by the Philippine Commis.
sion as the suggestion of the insula1
treasurer.

SALARIES IN PHILIPPINES.

Washington.-Gen. Clarence R.
Edwards, chief of the Bureau of In
sular Affairs of the War Department
made answer to the criticisms
Of W. J. Bryan Of the method of pay
ing salaries to high officials in the
Philippines. In his magazine joint
debate with Senator Beveridge, Mr..
Bryan charged that the Filipinos
have reason to complain of the ex-
pensiveness of the American govern
ment. He said that there is discrep-
ancy between the pay of, the Agasfi7
can and the native class of ofSse-
holders. An an instance of "jugg-
ling salaries" Mr.. Bryan cited the
fact that members of the Philippine
Commission receives $4,000 year as
members of the commission, and that
the American members of the COM
mission are given $4,000 additional
as heads of departments.
Mr.. Bryan said:
-~tkThis is merely device to avoid
the payment Of high salaries to the
native members Of the commission"
When Gen. Edwards attention
was called to this today he said:
"There has been no juggling Of
salaries whatever. In fact, the first
commissioners were all Americans,
and as commissioners were given sala-
ries of $4,000 each. When they be-
came Cabinet Ministers, with large
executive departments to administer,
they were given $4,000 additional,
and the Civil Governor $4,000 addi-
tional, making in all $4,000 for the
Governor General and $4,000 for
each of the American commits
sioners who had portfolios.

CITIZENSHIP LAW
CAUSES KICKS
DON'T LIKE TEE IDEA OF BE
ING FORCED TO REGISTER.
SALARIES IN THE PHILIPPINES
Chief of Bureau of Insular Affairs
Says There is No Juggling of Sal
aries as Stated by Mr.. Bizan.

Washington.-The new citizenship
law which recently went into effect
requiring naturalized Americans hv-
ing abroad to register at American
consulates unless they prefer to lose
their citizenship is causing consider
able complaint from sections where 1t
is not well understood. 1t was franz
ed by the Department of State to re-
lieve many endorsements caused by
German subjects coming to this
country to escape military duty, and
returning home after taking out
their first citizenship papers or after
taking the oath Of allegiance to the
United States. In its efforts to save
this class Of Americans from enforced
military service in the Kaiser's ar
my the State Department frequent
ly has been embarrassed. The new
law will correct this evil.
In. Canada and elsewhere the law is
being criticised and a movement is
on foot to bring a case to test its
constitutionality. The greater num-
ber of protests are coming from Sec
tion of Canada as wide as the dis
tance from Chicago to New Orleans,
where there are but three or four
consulates, and the Americans refuse
to travel so far to register. 1t should
be remembered, however, that native
born Americans are not required to
register unless they wish to do SO.
