FLAG DAY AT SEATTLE.
Colossal Statue of George Washington
Is Unveiled.

Seattle, Wash, June 14.-Flag day,
which was observed throughout the
state with patriotic exercises, was
made memorable at the Alaskan
Yukon-Pacific exposition by the un-
yelling of dorado Taft's bronze statue
of George Washington. When the fair
is over the figure will be mounted on a
solid granite base. The statue, which
is colossal, shows Washington draped
in a military cloak with his hands rest
in on sword. The unwilling exer-
cises took place this afternoon. United
States District Judge c. Fl. Hanford,
president of the Sons of the American
Revolution was chairman of the day.
The drawing of the strings in the I'M
yelling ceremony was done by three
year-Old Eleanor Washington Cald-
well. great granddaughter of John Au-
gustine Washington, the last owner of
Mount Vernon before the estate was
turned over to the commission of wo-
men.
The French Ambassador and Nine.
Jusserand were guests of the exposition
officials at the fair today.

Field Day to Be Held at Fine-

This morning. in the parlors Of the
Commercial club, the City Federation
of Women's Clubs held meeting, Mrs.
Lee Monroe taking the chair.
The most important matter under
discussion was in regard to the pro-
posed new club house and methods for
securing funds for the erection of the
building.
It was decided to begin Immediately
to prepare for a bazaar to be held in
the fall. The assortment of eatables
which will be on sale will varv from a
stick of candy to a live and grunting
piE and the collection of other COM
modfties will have fully, as wide a
range. AS far as live stock is concern
ed it will be a regular circus. If the
suggestions are carried. out there VIII
be cats dogs, pigs and chickens on DIS
play. a fat pig and trio of white
chickens having already been promised
for the occasion and the list will prob
ably be extended. One lady with a
twinkle in her eye offered to donate all
the dogs in her neighborhood. Jams,
jellies. rugs fancy work, e+n. were Of
fered for the occasion and it looks as
though the success of the bazaar is as
sured. The women's clubs-27 in all
twill take charge of booths If present
plans work out.
The ladies will save their waste paper
as another means of securing funds,
and several other suggestions were
made as to methods to be employed for
the same purpose, such as getting up a
cook book or q Topeka book with
views of the city and original poems by
members of the federation
The different clubs are to be notified
that there will be com atition to
see which club will donate most gen.
erously for the bazaar.
The newspapers have promised space
to the ladies for advertising their
money securing campaign for the new
building. The project will be ineor-
porated and will be a straight business
proposition. Four hundred and fifty
five dollars were subscribed at the
meeting this morning towards the
fund making total to date of $685..

an all day event at Vinewood Park on

percentage on the concessions and the
proceeds of the day will go towards the

The local federal officials are disap-
pointed over the failure of their rep

who abducted a 10 year old girl
from her fathers home in Alberta,
Canada, and brought her to Kansas
and married her.
The officials were going through the
usual amount of red tape in order to
give the Great Britain officials a
chance to capture the kidnaper and
take him to his own country to be

BRISTOW AROUSED.
Proposal to Admit Philippine Sugar
Free Stirs the Kansas Senator.

Washington, June 1.-THE Philippines
We're the subject of consideration by the
senate as soon as the tariff bill was
taken up today The finance commit
tees provision regulating the payment
OF duties on commodities coming into
the United States from the islands was
taken up after the senate had held an
executive session and Immediately be-
came the subject Of animated discus
sion. The provision permits the free
importation of Philippine goods with
restrictions and exceptions and on mo-
ton of Senator Lodge it was made APP
plicable tc Guam and Tutuila on the
same terms.
The language of the paragraph relat-
ing to the free admission of products
from the Philippines was changed to
make it clear that all manufactured ar
ticles imported INTO the United States
from the Philippines should be COM
posed partly or wholly of the products
OF the islands or Of the United States.
The change was made upon suggestion
of Senators Bulkely and Brandagee and
was intended to permit Connecticut CT
gar wrappers to be taken to the is
lands and to be imported into the Uni
| ted States as a part of a cigar free of
duty.
The provision requiring raw or re-
fined sugar to pay the same duty when
imported into the Philippines as when
imported into the United States, arous-
ed Senator Bristow, who thought he
saw in it an Advantage to the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company Senator

objection before araAadded that unless
isome such regplation were adopted SUI

| No Market for 1t.
| Declaring that the Philippine sug-
ar was SO poor in quality that there
lswas no market for it in the United
| States, Senator BullSely said the legis-
| lation allowing 100000 tons annually
| to come into the United States was
| a humbug." The sugar industry in
| the Philippines, he said, had gone
down until now only 10000 pounds
were raised annually. The cause of
| this condition, he said, is the laziness
and stupidity of the people.
| Resuming his remarks, Senator
| Bristow said: When you enact this
| law admitting 100000 tons of Philip
! pine sugar into this country free of
| duty, you do not benefit a single
American except he be interested in
