Manila Times: The number of CT
CARS exported to the United States
from the Philippines during the fiscal
year closing June 80 exceeds the rec
ord of the previous year by over 200
per cent according to figures prepar-
ed at the custom house.
The customs figures show that g.
8S0,46S cigars were exported to the
United States during the past year as
against 22,974OO0 in 1910-1911 and, in
fact, with the single exception of the
fiscal year, 1909-l91O, the first year OF
the workings of the Payne bill when
the American market was flooded with
smokes of all grades and 1881 900
cigars were sent to the homeland, the
past year broke all records.
Despite a published statement that
sugar exports Of the Philippines to the
United States for the fiscal year end
ing June 80 had decreased 200 per
cent, last years exports to America
totaled 164,015 metric tons, the great
est amount of sugar ever taken from
the Philippines by the United States
and an increase Of more than 50 per
cent over the figures for the previous
banner year, l9lU-lJl1.

THE LONE BULL MOOSE

We invite the attention of our coun-
trymen to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
of Oyster Bay, l.. |. He needs their
attention not so much as their SYM
pathy. He doesn't ask it; he would
resent it, but it should be his Merci-
less disasters one after another beset
and pursue him. Chicago made him
the Bull Moose candidate, Baltimore
unmakes him. One by one his strong
men left him-Hadley, Deneen, Aid
rich, Stubs, the Thane of Win
chester, and, finally, Ormsby Nc
Harg. When McHarg quits, the cause
must be in a pretty bad way Moth
ing but certain bankruptcy could stale
the infinite variety of his service and
devotion.
Now the little men are bowed down
with the weight of accommodating woes.
A veritable old Tory reactionary put
in nomination at Baltimore might have
left an opening for the Bull Moose
party. The reasoned and sane pro-
gressivism of the Democratic candi-
date who was nominated shuts the
door of hope on the Colonel's aspira-
tons Mr. Roosevelt can promise the
people nothing that they desire and
should have, no needed remedies or
reasonable reforms, which can not be
better wrought out by the steadier
hand of Woodrow Wilson The Re-
publican boiling adventure is now
stripped of every shred of justifying
principle. There remain only vindic-
tive passion against President Taft
and the determination to make sure
of his defeat That is not a principle
On that alone the Roosevelt party
would starve to death.
But they say that the view from
Sycamore Hill is singularly pleasing
to the eye of a quiet man, fond of the
contemplative life.-New York Times.

NO News OF
ARMY BIDS

Up to 3:15 this afternoon Major
Cheatham, chief quartermaster of the
Department of Hawaii, had received
no word from Washington as to
whether The Hawaiian Dredging Co.
or the, Spalding Construction Co.
would be awarded the 100000 con-
tract for constructing the cavalry
post at Schofield Barracks.
-~ The bids, which were opened yes
terday, were somewhat out of the Or
binary for government work here,
Owing to the fact that there is a
prospect of the 100000 authorized
for the work but not appropriated,
not being made available until the
next session of Congress, the quar-
termaster called for proposals to do
the work on cost and percentage
basis, the money to be paid when it
became available. In other words;
the bidders offer to do the work for
the government, and charge a GER
tain percentage for their profits, the
use of their money, and incidental ex-
penses. The payroll and all actual
cost of the work is to be carefully
checked by the government, and paid
when the cash is on hand.
One bidder yesterday made a
straight percentage proposition,
while the other bid on sliding scale
depending on how long the payments
were delayed. Major -Cheatham
couldn't decide which was the most
advantageous for the government, and
cabled the bids to Washington for de-
cision.
Originally 100000 was authorized
for the. cavalry post, and 100000 of
this made Immediately available.
The quartermaster's department en-
pended nearly this entire sum pur-
chasing all the material for the job,
leaving very little money to continue
the work. Therefore the news that
the. balance of the appropriation
would be held up came like bomb
shell. Unless one of the local bids
is accepted, work will stop within a
few days.
On the infantry quarters, nearly all
Of the $4,000 appropriation has been
spent on the purchase of materials,
and the erection of the steel frame
work of the houses. Unless Congress
comes through with the balance of
this appropriation, which is a like
sum of $4,000, work on the infantry
quarters will also come to halt, and
Schofield construction will be per-
mainly tied up, to the great disorgan-
ization of the system and force which
Major Cheatham and Captain Ed
wards have so carefully and effect
ively built up.

DEMOCRATS AGREE
TO ONE DREADNOUGHT

WASHINGTON, August Sit was
announced here tonight that the Dem
ocrats have at last decided to agree
upon one superdreadnought for the
naval program this year. A caucus
has been called by the leaders of the
Bourbons in Congress for Wednesday,
at which this and other questions will
be taken up. The change in the Dem
ocratic program, it is reported, was
affected through the efforts of Rich
mond P. Hobson.
CONSTANTINOPLE, August g.
Fire and earthquake combined have
already caused the destruction of
three hundred houses in this city and
the conflagration is raging beyond
immediate control. Thousands are
homeless and it is feared that many
have persisted. The fire was caused
by an earthquake, which, while not
a severe one, upset a lamp.
The project of police at once turn.
ed out the gendarmes to guard the
burned area. The military authori.
ties in command of the garrison sent
cavalry and infantry patrols to assist
the police. Citizens have joined with
the firemen and military in fighting
the flames. ]

Seven Millions in Sandstone.

The value of the output of sandstone in the United States in 1911 was ST. 730,S6S, decrease as compared with 1910 of t1sS,151, according to figures just published by the United States Geological Survey. The leading sand reproducing states in 1911 we're New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, in the order named.
 In New York and Pennsylvania . part of the sandstone produced is known to the trade as bIuestone. The output of bluestone increased in value from $1,585,1S7 in 1910 to sl,S7e,475 in 1911, a gain of $341,2s6. The stone used for building decreased in value but that sold for Tagging and curb ing, as crushed stone and for un- specified purposes showed a large in crease. The increase in value of bluestone produced in New York in 1911 was caused by the quarrying of a large quantity for use as rubble ard :Is crushed stone in concrete in the build ing of dams for the New York City water-supply system. If it had Tot been for this deman the New York production, as wei las that of Pennsyl- vania, would have decreased.

Coal Waste"

The production of anthracite in Pennsylvania includes an appreciable quantity of usable fuel recovered from the old culm banks by washeries, and the unsightly monuments to the waste ful methods of early times are dis appearing from the landscape in the anthracite regionS- The quantity of coal recovered in the 22 years since the first washery was constructed in 1890 has amounted to about 50,000,Oo0 long tons, considerably more than the total reduction of anthracite at the be- ginning of the period. In 1911 the washery product amounted to 4,1s6,044 leng tons, In addition to the coal re- covered fFom the culm banks, e4,647 long tons in 1911, and 1888 tons in 1910, were recovered from the bottom of Susquehanna river by dFedges,
 In the bitumiHeus regions the pfin- eiPai use of washeries is to improve the quantity of the slack coal used in the manufacture of coke by reducing the ash and sulphur, although con- siderable quantities, particularly in Illinois, are washed in the preparation of sized eeal fer household use. The quantity of bituHineus ceal washed at the mines in 1911 was 12,543,114 sheFt tens, The washeries yielded 1o,

 With our children it's different. The day of harsh physic is over. We don't force the liver and 30 feet of bowels now; we coax them. We have no dreaded after effects. Mothers who sling to the old form of physic simply don't realize wha they do. The chill dren's revolt is well-founded. Their nttle stomachs and tender bowels are Injured by them.
 C your child is fretful, peevish half esck, stomach sour. breath feverish and It's little system full of cold; has diar- rhoea, sore throat, stomach ache: doesn't eat or rest well-remember- look at the tongue. if coated, give a. teaspoonful of Syrup of Figs, then don't worry. because you surely will have a well. smiling child in a few hours.
