Western looks best.

Aother accident like that at Macomb,
ILL.,, where a high school student was
killed after being hit with a discus
may result in taking the discus throw
off the field events. Uncertainty in ham
ding the discus is about the same as
that seen in throwing the hammer. Ac-
cidents serious and fatal in many in

throw from the list of events, and It is
more than likely that the discus throw
will be eventually thrown out.

WASHINGTON. Aubgust l4.-An

gagged in foreign trade. Foreign ship

Interstate Commerce Commission is
given power to break up any comtina
tom Of competing rail and water lines
which it finds are not for the publii
good"
Two Of the six members Of the con
ference committee, Senator Brandegee
and Representative Stevens Of Mime
sofa, declined to sign the report.
Those who attached their names to
the agreement were Senators Bristow
and Simmons and Representatives
Adamson and Sims AS perfected in
the conference committee, the canal
bill now provides:
Free passage for American ships

Clusively in foreign trade.
NO tariff on foreign shipbuilding
materials for use in this country.

reported to the House and Senate to-
morrow, and it is believed it will meet
opposition. Tn dropping the SeSate
amendment. giving free passage TO

trade the conference committee WELD
eG to those who considered this clause
a direct violation of the treaty with

Bourne railroad amendment attached
to the bill in the Senate was retained

to give the Interstate Commerce Com
miss ion the right to determine wheth-
err railroads should be allowed to hold

The railroad section of the bill is
drastic and broad in the powers it con-
fers on the Interstate Commerce Com

HUNGRY FILiPINOS
ACCEPT EMPLOYMENT
F, AT 25 CENTS A DAY.

1ILOILO, P. l., July 23.-There is no
doubt of the existence of a sad state
or affairs at Sasay, Hanapla, Cadlz,
Escalante and other towns in Negroes
Occidental. First came the terrible
drought which nearly ruined the crops.
and only recently the locusts and Ia
gustus have destroyed every green
thing in ): any dis IS, lie 'r:',E tie
people in many instances actually hun
gry.s They, however, do not seem to
mind it very much. The pr2sidente
of Sagay has reported to Governor
Yulo that ever a thousand men in ris
municipality are without work. The
government, at the instigation of Gov
ernor Yulo, sent. Mr.. Carballo to Sagav
and offered the men fifty centavOs,
Csc. gord) per day to work, which they
refused at first, stating that the mills
at Cadiz paid sixty centavos. Mr.. Ca>
ballo, however, refused to give more
with the consequence that finaEy a
number accepted the half peso and
went to work. There will, in al! prob
ability, be considerable suffering i"
some of the towns as result of tire
many misfortunes they have had visit
ed upon them.
At Cadiz Nuevo, Negros Occidental,
Presidente Santos is employing all re
idle men he can use in repairing the
streets. Many have applied to the
mills at Fabrica. where are located
the works of the Insular Lumber Com
pany, for employment, and the mill
people are supplied at present.
On the fifteenth instant a case Of
cholera was discovered at La 'arlo,d,
Negros Occidental by DR.. Io"sin VINO
Immediately took steps to insure san
itary measures being adopted. 1t IS
hoped this is but an isolated case.
