after the battle of Manila bay Secre-
tary Taft records the results of the,
American occupation of the archipel-
ago and forecasts the future of the
Eilipinos in an exhaustive report
transmitted to congress by the presi-
lent, with letter written by the chief
executive, commencing in the highest
.erms the secretary's conclusions. The
president declares that ruin would
have followed the adoption of any
other policy toward the Philippines
shan that outlined by William McKin-
.ey and carried forward through these
nine years. He adds that the Fill
pinos "have yet a long way to travel
before they will be fit for complete
self-government."
Taft's Observations.
Secretary Taft's report records his
the islands to the extent of nearly
eighty printed pages. Generally
speaking, the secretary is optimistic
n high degree in treating this sub
;ect. even though he cannot fix time
for declaring the independence of the
islands. In answer to the critics who
have made ''the most astounding and
Unfair statements in respect to the
cost to the United States of the Phil
ippines," he figures out total annual
expenditure of $5,OOO,00O and vigor.
ously denies the failure of the Philip
pine policy.
He says that great changes have oc.
Cured in the islands. The people are
now anxious to have the American SOL
diers retained There is high stand.
ard of administration Of Justice.
Eeace prevails in greater degree
than ever before in the history of the
islands.
The secretary is willing to limit the
amount of sugar and tobacco that can
be exported to the United States. He
predicts development of business
within twenty-five years that will
make the Filipinos themselves stand
high in the worlds industrial popula.
tons.
Taft's Recommendations
His recommendations are that Phil
ippine products be admitted into the
United States free of duty under rea-
sonable limitations; that present re.
strictions be removed on the acquisi.
ton of mining properties; that the
Philippine government be authorized
70 conduct an agricultural bank, and,
finally, that the islands be exempted

shipping laws.

MRS. EDDY MAKES QUEER MOVE.
Head Of Christian Scientists, Guarded
by Utmost Secrecy Moves to
New Home.

Boston, Jan. 2s.- Guarded by the ut.
most secrecy, Mrs. Mary Baker G.
Eddy, founder and head of the Chris.
tian Science church, was removed by
special train yesterday, with all her
household attendants from Pleasant
View, in Concord, N. H., where She
has lived for nineteen years, to a new
house in the fashionable Chestnut Hill
section of Brookline.
The coming was unheralded and
only a few of the leaders of the Chris
tian Science church had been aware
of the contemplated change.
Absolute Secrecy.
Even the train crew were command.
ed to maintain absolute secrecy as to
the trip they were to make.
Preceded by a pilot engine to clear
the way the special train of three cars
left Concord at 2 o'clock and proceed
ed over three railroads by circuitous
route to the Chestnut Hill station on
the Boston & Albany road. In the
rear of the train, to guard against col.
lision, trailed a third engine.
Arriving at Brookline at S o'clock
the party was taken to the late Amory
A. Lawrence estate, one of the most
beautiful in all Brookline, ever before
100000 had been spent in the past
four months to remodel it, and here
Mrs: Eddy was settled in her new
home.
Giants on Guard.
Calvin A. Frye, Mrs. Eddy's secre.
tary, was closely pressed for informa-
ton. Absolutely refusing to give any
names of those in the party or to
make any statement, he turned to six
tall, powerful men who stood near him
and ordered that every person be at
once put off the grounds. Then he
turned and entered the house and his
orders were obeyed without delay.
Six men remained on guard
through the night, and to-day six 9th.
ers will take their places for the day
guard. Within week permits have
been issued by the Brookline police
for the men to carry arms, and it is
believed the watch of six at night and
six by day will be continued for some
time.

New York, Jan. &c. - New York is

oughfares of the millions are left piled
high with drifts that impede the prog

Traffic Tied Up.
The snow storm, which crept into
town so slowly Thursday night that it's
real intentions were never .sus.. ected
until it had gotten firm grip on
things. continued until past noon yes
terday and even after the snowfall
ceased half gale kept the air thick
with furries that filled the walks as

| Much suffering has been occasioned;
there has been the usual toll of death
exacted, and the monetary damage
must be reckoned by the tens of thou
sands of dollars.
Man With the Shovel Busy.
Mercifully, the snow was accompa-
MED by moderate temperature, and in
its early stages it was welcomed by
the honest part of the $4,000 unem.
ployed men in the city. All who sought
employment from last night on found
lit readily and at good wages. The
man with the shovel was everywhere
in demand.
| Last night the charity societies had
their hands full. The Bowery bread
lines, perhaps the most pitiful of the
ctty's public exhibitions of poverty,
were extended last night for blocks
further than at any time before this

Four Fatalities.
| "A number of accidents and four ia
talities were credited to the storms
account. Except for the subway the

moralized throughout the day. Trains

blocked for hours in many cases.

ticularly Seabright, were more or less

unreported at Sandy Hook last night.

COUNTY COUNCIL MEETS
Appropriates $4,000 For
Gary Bridge Yester-
day Evening.

Crown Point, Ind, April 2S.-(Spe-
cia1) 1.-THE county council met at the
courthouse yesterday and after DELHI
Grating upon the question of the Gary
bridge, finally decided to appropriate
$37,500 for that purpose. This amount
is considerably less than the estimated
cost Of structure over that portion
Of the Calumet, but it is calculated
that a good, substantial three-s span
bridge Of concrete can be built for
near or less than the amount appro-
priated.
Several sets of plans have already
been submitted and the commissioners
will soon make a selection and adver-
tise for bids, and it is said that the
construction will be well under way
before fall.
In the matter of Charles Benjamin's
petition asking for an appropriation
of $1,000 for the Lake County Agricul-
tural society, the council was willing
to appropriate $500 for that purpose
but that amount was not accepted and
the matter was taken for further con-
sideration.
Other matters of minor Importance
were taken UP and the regular routine
of business was transacted.

GARY G. O.P. IS BUSY

Republican County Chairman Richard
Schaaf and County Secretary Fred
Crumpacker went to Gary yesterday
for a conference with the republican
leaders over there.
1t is understood that the necessity Of
becoming more aggressive to counter
act the effect of the barbecue that is to
be held here by the democrats next Sat
urday is appreciated and some plan will
be devised to make the barbecue look
like Sunday school picnic as compared
with a circus.
One of the matters taken up and dis
cussed was that of taking the poll six
months before the coming election.
This will be done and the party work
ers who are willing to take this matter
in hand will begin work shortly.
The fact was brought out at the
meeting that the democrats are look
ing upon Gary as the pivotal point in
the politics of the county If Gary
goes democratic they are of the opinion
that the county will go democratic and
the barbecue is the throwing down OF
the gauntlet.

wise ways and means to take 1t up
