He VIII Stay Until the Ninth as
Originally Planned.

Manila. Nov. 1.-Secretary Taft re-
turned to Manila yesterday and in the
evening attended banquet given in his
honor by the Quill club, composed Of
Americans. In his address he told the

ing assured before other commercial
interests could prosper. He depre-
Gated the formation of the proposed
American league or any association

tween Fflfpinos and Americans. He
said he strongly desired to tell con-
gress that the people here were a unit
on all subjects relating to the islands

Control of Union Pacific Said to
Have Changed Hands.
Mysterious Transfer of 100000
Shares of Stock.
INVOLVES s19,4OO,OOO.
Rockefeller and j. PierpOnt Are
Acting Together.
Nobody Else Could Have Put
Up So Much Money.

New York. Nov. There was a mys-
terious transfer in Wall street yester-
day of 100000 shares of Union Pacific
stock. Financiers who are familiar
with the situation are positive in their
belief that the new holders are ]. p.
Morgan and his associates. They fur
ther say that E. H. Hartman or his
friends, parted with these securities
and that the transfer foreshadows great
changes in the control and manage
ment of this property. This is in line
with the claims that have been made for
some time in the financial district that
the domination of the Union Pacific is
to pass out of the hands of Mr.. Harri-
man. Mr.. Hartman himself declared
that the story was absurd and that II
any transfers of stock had taken place
it was probably in his direction and
not toward the Morgan crowd.
AS the story goes, William Rockefel-
Ter and Mr.. Hartman paid visit to
one of the largest stock brokerage firms
this visit preceded by a very short time
the report in the street of the transfer
of the Union Pacific stock.
So far as could be learned the stock
involved in the transaction was deliv-
cred in its entirety to its purchasers,
who paid for it outright and had it
conveyed to their private vaults. 1t has
been shown by the recent developments
control the ready money are John d.
Rockefeller and J. p Morgan. 1t is
also understood that some months ago
John D. Rockefeller broke with his
brother, William, and with the others
of the Standard Oil and Amalgamated
crowd and has been working in con-
junction with the Morgan interests.
There is every reason to believe that
these two men are the only ones in the
street at this time who could have pro-
duced sufficient capital to negotiate
deal of such magnitude as the purchase
of 200, 900 shares of Union Pacific at 81,
which would aggregate $19,400,000.
One of the conspicuous figures in the
transactions was James Stillman, pres
ident of the National City bank. AMI
the representative of John D. Rockefel-
ler in his operations in the street The
bank of which Mr.. Stillman is the head
is dominated by Mr.. Rockefeller and |
during the recent furry no move was
made by Mr.. StiIlman without first con-
sulting the president of the Standard |
Oil. 1t is said that in the Union Pacific /
transaction Mr.. Stillman acted as one |
of the principals for the purchasers

WEATHER CLEARS UP.
Brisk Wind Dries Up the Mud in Short
Order.

A 1 football weather is promised to
Topeka for the big football battle to-
morrow. This morning It looked pretty
dubious but shortly after dinner the
sun came out dispensing the rain
clouds and drying up the Washburn
gridiron where the big game will be
played tomorrow afternoon. The field
is already in pretty good shape despite
the rain of last night and with the sun
shedding it's warm rays upon the field
and the wind soughing with it's drying
zephyrs across the gridiron the field
will be in the best of condition. The
weather will be clear tomorrow accord
ing to the weather forecast but will be
a little bit cooler than it is today which
will make the field that much better
for the game. The sunshine today was
the first since Monday.
The wind today is twenty miles an
hour from the northwest. The showers
which were falling in the early hours
of the morning have disappeared and
everything seems to be drying up. Bet
ter weather is promised. The tempera-
lures for today have been as follows:

Mr.. ROYCE IS AT HOME.
Unable to Do Much in Bankers Trust
Case

State Bank Commissioner John O.
Royce, who has been in Kansas City
for several days looking after the inter
ests of the Kansas banks which are in
volved in the Bankers Trust failure,
came back to Topeka last night, and
left again on an early morning train
for Kansas City.
Thus far Mr.. Royce has been unable
to accomplish much because the re-
ceiver for the company was not ap-
pointed until yesterday. He now Will
take up the matter with the receiver
and try to have the affairs so arrang-
ed that the Kansas banks which used
the Bankers Trust as a depository may
have their reserves set aside.
The 25 small Kansas banks which
were caught in the failure are standing
the strain very we'll Only three of them
have gone under, and II is believed that
most of the others will pull through
though there are some of them that are
worrying a lot. And all this in spite
of the fact that these banks have from
25 to so per cent of their deposits in
the form of cash and sight exchange
whereas the law requires only 20 per
cent

ehargeable to the service, origin

sumed, provided there is no evi-
aence adverse to such origin, and
the existence Of the disease in
the service is satisfactorily
shown.
The moral turpitude Of a claim
ant is not an element to be con-
sidered in determining his right

disabled by reason Of disease or
of injury contracted in the line Of

LINE OF Duty. The Govern

purposes.

The 1875 mile ride from Port
land to Los Angeles is full of in
.terest to an eastern or northern
person. Everything is different
and scenery changes often. We
were an one afternoon in sight Of
Mount Shasta, one Of the highest
mountain peaks in the United
States and at night we stopped
five minutes at the base of the
mountain and everyone took a
cup and got cup Of soda water
from Shasta Springs, clear and
sparkling, get a glass of soda at
drug store without flavoring.
that is as near as l can describe
it. There is a great volume Of It
gushing mp from the ground and
it is put in barrels and bottles
and shipped everywhere
In crossing the Siskiyu noun
tains we saw great many placer
gold mines, but very few Of which
are being worked at present.
The high prices paid for labor
has taken the people away from
mines that were not pretty Ger.
tain 10 pay day wages.
Each locality has its speciality.
At one station in Oregon nothing
was shipped but alfalfa hay. at
another it was apples and cider
and after crossing the Siskiyu
mountains in northern California
there was a lumber region.
There being 30 saw mills in Sis
kiyu Co. and one Of them en-
ployes 1900 men. Then there
was a large arid region and moth.
ing but stock growing, further
south is large areas where
they raise nothing but potatoes.
Then there is the locality of ap-
pies, grapes and pears. In San.
Ia Barbara county they are rails
ing mostly English walnuts, and
south little further g.raise
only beans, and from Venutria
they ship train loads of beans to
Boston. At Fernando we saw
the largest olive grove in the
world. Thousands of acres.
From there on We begun TO see
large orange and lemon groves.
BY the census 81 1900 Los An.
geles had 10000 people. Now

there is 100000 al right This
