Washington, Sept. 22.-The announce
ment that the Sultan of Sulu is coming
to America was a source of great ex-
pectancy in Washington, but the rumor
that he is burdened with S5O0,000 worth
of pearls caused a lot OF speculation as,

toward the importation.
Sulu being one OF our island possess

Tines-it was the consensus of opinion
that anything the Sultan might bring

cially if the jewels are intended not for
sale but as gifts. as some say.

of Sulu is the monarch who proposed
marriage to the present Mrs. Nicholas

was one of the Taft party which visited
the Philippines. At that time he was
most anxious to shower the distinguished
tourist with presents which. of course,

SUDDEN. and COED Drowned.

Considerable mystery surrounds the
finding OF the bodies of>two students
Of Urslnus college In the Perkiomen
creek near the boat landing Of the col
lege. which is at Collegeville. about
twenty-five miles from Philadelphia.
The dead students, who were last
seen alive when they entered a. boat
for row on the creek. were Edna
Thomas. seventeen years old. OF Roy
ersford. this state, and Frederick L.
Fogelmann. of Munhall. which is near
Pittsburg. The girl was a sophomore
and the young man senior.
How they came to their death Ia
puzzling the authorities. though the
fact that the water about the college
landing is deep and that the young
man could not swim lead to the belief
that In the darkness the girl may
have fallen overheard while trying tc
step from the boat to the landing. This
being true. the authorities think Fo
gelmann may have been drowned In
trying to rescue his companion.

RAILROAD BILL A FARCE.

As progressive legislation, a rail road regulation bill without pro vision for physical valuation, is a farce
 The national Democratic platform of 1908 declared in vigorous Ian guage for efficient supervision and rate regulation of railroads" and to that end strongly recommended the taking of a physical valuation by the Interstate Commerce Commis. sion.
 But when it is considered that Hartman contributed S26000O to the Republican campaign fund on behalf of the railroads, that probably mum erous other railroad magnates ad- yanced equally large sums, and that the very bill congress is about to place upon the statute books was originally drawn in New York and submitted to the railroad interests before being introduced in congress. it is not so strange that the physical valuation amendments received their death stabs even after passed by d goodly majority in the House of Representatives
