ENcLAND,s MIGHTY FLEET.
No Two Other Countries Of Europe
Could Put Into immediate Ser
vice Its Equal.

London, Oct. 49, There is now as
sembling in the North sea and the
English channel sor maneuverS under
the command of Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford feet Ct British warships
representing an aggregation Of naval
power surprising all the Immediately
available resources Of any two other
countries of Europe, and yet not q
single ship of this feet has been drawn
from the reserves, the Mediterranean
feet or the Davenport and Portsmouth
divisions. The home feet, which Is now
assembling, consist merely Of those
ships maintained IN the vicinity of the
British Isles, and which throughout
the year have been engaged In war
training. 1t numbers 10 pennants
and is composed OF 26 battleships. 10
armored cruisers, several protected
cruisers, various auxiliary vessels and
4S torpedo vessels. The battleship
Dreadnought is not taking part In the
maneuvers, as she is being fitted with
a new steering engine before being
subjected to further series OF sea
trials, which It is hoped, will prove OF
assistance In determining the design
of future large battleships.
The first section Of the coming naval
maneuvers, covering four days, will
be Of tactical description and the
final Gays will be devoted to studying
the problem Of defending ships against
torpedo attacks. With the Mosquito
feet" attacking the large warships
and all the land stations manned, the
coming operations are expected to be
most interesting.

WAITING FOR TAFT.
His Address, Opening First Session
Philippine Assemble to De-
termine Policy.
POLITICAL PARTIES SPLIT
The Nationalist Who Ordinarily
Would Control Are Not United
Giving independents Bal
anee Of Power.

Manila, Oct. 14.--Great interest 10
shown in the opening Of the first Phil
ippine assembly, which will take
place this week, and the arrival OF
Secretary Iaft, which comes at an
opportune time in the inauguration OF
the Philippine home rule. Already the
contending political factions are show
ing great activity and at the caucus
recently held the first brush occurred
over a motion to have the assembly
proceedings opened with prayer. This
was defeated by one vote, on the
broad ground that Affairs OF church
and state should be kept distinct. The
caucus was attended by 4S delegates.
The action Of the assembly on
questions relating to the political NJ
ture Of the Philippines is expected to
be determined largely by the opinion
expressed by Secretary Taft in his adj
dress opening the session. This is the
view held by Filipinos as well as
Americans. The latter are generally
in favor Of specific announcement
on Philippine policy.
The course OF legislative action will
depend mainly on the result OF the
fight of the Gomez radicals for con-
troll Of the national party. The ma
tionalists when united. exercise con.
trolling influence, but their internal
divisions give the progressive indie
pendents the balance Of power. 1t Is
not likely that patty spirit will play
much part in the assembly's aIfairs.
owing to personal differences within
the parties,
Guerrero, one Of the native leaders
to Manila, backs Gomez In his promise
to secure the repeal Of the drastic
"hag sedition" laws. IL this repeal
Il carried through other radical mea'
sures probably WIN follow. The con
seryative element declares against any
extreme legislation and the better
class Of politicians favor an ultra-coD'
servauVe cocs-s.
The governor general and the Of
ficials Of the Philippine commission ex'
meet that the chief activities OF the
assembly will be devoted to the enact
ment OF legislation for the general I'M
provement Of the islands.
The indications are that Manuel
Quezon viii be the successful candi-
date for speaker. He is believed to be
favorably regarded At Washington and
his election gives assurance that no
resolution forAthe Independence of the
Philippines viii be considered.
Quezon Is one Of the two delegates
from Tayabas. He is a lawyer and IN
the last instruction was a major IN
the Filipino army.

New York, Oct. 15.-Hampton O.
Westcom, vice president of the Stan
dard OIL company Of Kentucky, testi'
iied Monday in the hearing Of the fed
eral suit against tie oil combine, that
in several Of the southern states the
Standard had found 1t expedient to
sell much Of it's products through com
panies which the public believed to be
independent. The practice OF selling
through so-called Independent com
panies which were owned by the com
bine, was discontinued two years ago
according to Mr.. Westcott. Mr.. kei-
logg, counsel for the government drew
from the witness stand Standard vi
Company of Kentucky which acts as
selling agent of oil In Kentucky
Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ten.
nessee and Alabama, had purchased
numerous small independent selling
companies, and through many OF them
aold oil to the consumer. Some OF
the plants of these independents were
dismantled and the business taken
over by the Standard. Mr.. Westcott
threw q sidelight on a business de-
partment Of the Standard concerning
which the federal counsel has been
seeking information since the begin
ming Of the inquiry. Mr.. Westcott tes'
titled that each month the main once
of the Standard Oil Company OF Ken
lucky. and at Covington sent to him
not only the reports Of the business
operattons of the Standard but state
ments concerning freight shipments
and sales of oil by all competitors
These statements, according to MT
Westcott, gave the name OF the con.
signor the consignee, the amount oil
oil shipped and any information that
may be available. Mr.. Westcott SAID
that after examining these statements
he fled herewith tine statistical depart
ment in the Standards office In the
city. This department, Mr.. Westcot'
said. was In charge Of W. q. Bemis
who kept compilations and records OF
the business Of both the Standard and
its competitors. Mr.. Kellogg stated
Monday night that he expected to call
william G.. Rockefeller, assistant
treasurer Of the Standard Oil Company
OF New Jersey to the stand and wnen
the hearing is resumed Tuesday II
is believed that at the end Of this weeh
the hearings will be adjourned fol

MUST PAY A SPECIAL TAX
Medicinal Alcoholic Compounds no
Longer Escape.


Washington, Oct. determination
er Of Internal Revenue Capers has
rendered decision relative to the
manufacture and sale OF alleged medi
cinal alcoholic compounds, where on
analysis 1t is found that the said al
legged medicinal compounds are suit
able for use as beverage. Summing
up an elaborate opinion. the commits
sIoner holds as follows:
THAT special tax is required foI
the manufacture and sale OF alleged
medicinal alcoholic compounds, or foE
the sale Of malt extracts manufac'
tured from fermented liquors, the
drugs used In the manufacture Of
which are not sufficient in amount OF
character to render the product UNIT
for use as a beverage; or, In the case
of cordials, extracts and essences, In
which the amount Of alcohol Is greater
than is necessary to preserve the In
gradients, or to extract the properties
or cut the oils, and hold the same In
solution.
Manufacturers Of alcoholic medi'
cinal compounds, malt extracts, flavor
ing extracts, essences and soda water
syrups, who wish to avoid liability for
special taxes must satisfy themselves
that their products are within the
limits herein defined; and also those
who put out alcoholic compounds OF
doubtful medicinal value, or contain
ing a questionable process Of alcohol
must do so at the risk Of being re-
quired to pay special taxes for the
manufacture and sale Of the same.
