a fire started In The kitchen. In the
following ear a thunderstorm that
swept over Manila caused some more

Another ~overhaliling was necessary.
1t took four years, 1875 to 1879, to

facing the entrance to balance the front
facing the Pasig River.
But 1t seemed as If the old building
was never to be completely repaired,
for soon another earthquake shook the
palace and destroyed the old portions
Of the main building. Further altera-
tons and extensions were made.
The visit of Prince oscar Of Sweden
occasioned Identification Of the palace
and its gardens. During the Spanish
regime preparations for the royal visitor
always Included general overhauling OF
the palace, the building Of new addi-
lions and making OF some alterations.
100000 Pescs Spent I'm 20 Years
More than 800, 600 pesos were spent
in repairing and overhauling the Ma
lacanane Palace from 1859 to 1898, a
| period Of 20 years. Even then. IN 1893,
when the Americans flrst occupied Ma
Mia, the palace was a far cry from
what it was at the beginning OF the
nineteenth century.
But undoubtedly the most interesting
period of the history of the Malacanang
Palace is the American regime. Every
governor general from William Howard
Taft to Leonard Wood made radical
changes. Each Of the occupants has
left something to 1t Of his own per
| sonality and taste and those Of his wife.
The guides for the palace would tell
the visitor that those pictures on the
| wall were arranged by MI. and Mrs.
| Taft or that those books in q certain
section of the library were selected by
Gen. and Mrs. Wood.
Palace Grounds Raised.
During the 80 years Of American &C
cupation the entire palace grounds were
raised approximately B inches and re
graded. Parks and truck gardens were
made. The vicinity Of the Malacanang
| Palace was turned into a picturesque
and healthful place. A new, artistic
| main entrance into the grounds was
constructed. An entirely new plumbing
system was installed. A new river wall
was erected.
A modern tennis court was built.

future AIR TRAVEL
TO Be DURING NIGHT
Aviation Companies Mapping
Expanding Schedules on
Such Lines.
By Consolidated Press.

CHICAGO, June Just as the bulk
of railroad travel now is at night in
order to conserve time, so the bulk OF
air travel in the near future is to be
during the hours of darkness.
This is the view of aviation COM
panies who are mapping their new and
expanding schedules on the basis OF
night flying. 1t brings the air pullman
into reality to take its place soon

w. E. Boeing. chairman of the
board for the United Aircraft and

a continual cut in the loss of time due
to travel, both in its personnel and its

Business Hours Saved.
Mr.. Boeing points out that through
flying it is possible to link cities 1,20c
miles distant without the loss Of q
single business hour. Always place
New York and Atlanta, New York ano
Chicago, Chicago and Dallas, Chicago
and Cheyenne and San Francisco ano
Cheyenne almost within overnight

BY the end of the present year there
will be 1880 miles Of lighted airways
Already the route across the country Is
virtually completed with 232 twenty
four-inch revolving beacons and 529
blinker lights marking the way along
the 2,700-mile stretch. When COM
pleted there will be lights every 10
miles or less, with the cost approx
mately 81, 000, 900.
Already the United States leads Eu-
rope in night flying by a wide margin
Mr.. Boeing sees the recently perfected
radiophone and the directive radio bea-
cons as additional safeguards which are
to make for an even more extensive
development from now ON.
Radiophone Is Invaluable.
"The r~adiophone," he says, lis In

The governor generalship of the Phil
ippines is regarded as one Of the most
important of the government posts,
having equal rank with that Of q cab
met Office. It is the highest paid office
in the government except only that OF
the President. And like the Chief Ex-

an official home.
Thirteen million people, 10000 miles
away are awaiting the arrival Of the
new master Of the house once occupied
by William Howard Taft, Luke e.
Wright, w. Cameron Forbes. Leonard
Wood and Henry L. Sttrnson. On the
lips Of the islanders Is q silent prayer
that the new occupant not only be q
worthy successor to former Governors
General, but also sympathetic with the
customs and traditions Of the house
in which he Is going to live.
Palace Built Of Wood.
The Malacanang Palace, which has
been the residence Of Governor Gen.
erals Of the Philippines since the last
century Of the Spanish regime. Is an
old wooden structure, reinforced with
concrete, and situated on the banks OF
the Pasig River. It was formerly a
house Of recreation, with q bath and
gardens, surrounded by q stone wall. II
was then owned by Don Luis Rocha,
who. on November 16, 1902, sold II
to Col. Jose Miguel Formento, Of the
Spanish army, for LOO pesos Mex

sold 1t to the government on January

could entertain commanding officers OF
the fleets, diplomatic officers and other

However, the captain general at the
time did not move to the Malacanane
until after the earthquake of June 3,
1858, which destroyed his stone house
residence within the Walled City, q
section Of the city Of Manila so called
because 1t Is surrounded by strong
walls to fortify the city from attacks.
Shattered by Earthquake.
Immediately various improvements
were made on the palace. Quarters for
the aides and the servants Of the cap
tain general were constructed adjacent
to the palace and within the palace
premises.
The place was completely overhauled
in 1859 on the occasion of the visit to
Manila Of the Duke of Edinburgh, but
just before his arrival an earthquake
broke all the buttresses and main col
un1ns Of the main building. The earth
quake was SO severe that 1t not only
wrenched from its foundations the
massive stone gate of the palace, but
also twisted its arch.

Sea Monster Caught.

Believed to be a Greenland shark, a
huge sea monster was recently caught
near Buckle, Scotland. Photographs
have been sent to the Royal Scottish
Museum at Edinburgh for identification.
It is believed to be the first Of the kind
to invade British waters since 1849.
The specimen then caught was said to
attack living whales, biting large parts
out of their bodies.

lister and foreign secretary. But the
selection for the latter post are legion.
The Observer backs a dark horse
in the person of Lord D'Abernon, for
mer British Ambassador I Berlin, with
Sir Oswald Mosley as second choice.
The Weekly Dispatch thinks that
Arthur Henderson or j. H. Thomas are
more likely, calling the former Mac
Donald'S choice. Another obvious pos
sibility as yet unmentioned in the pa
pers is Arthur PonSonby, under secre-
tary In the former Labor government.
BY general agreement, Phillip Snow
den is in line for CHARACTERISTIC Of the
exchecquer. The Observer suggests j.
H. Thomas as Colonial secretary, and
a more important post than the home
oflce-probably Indian secretary-for
Henderson. The Sunday Dispatch pro-
fesses to know that Macdonald has ask
chancellor.
Conservative Revolt Forms.
That there Is a Conservative revolt
developing against Baldwtn's leadership
may be judged from a statement in
the Observer Of tomorrow, that there
are times when the prime minister
seems to be "the sleep-walker of poll
tics" and that "if he continues in his
nXed mood OF the last Few months, he
will be the complete ruin Of the Unionist
party"
However, the die-hard Conservatives
have at least this virtue-they stand by
their friends-and in unalterably Con-
sentative quarters there may be disgust
with Baldwin, but there Is no DISPOSE
ton to kick him out.
The Liberals have already computed
after intensive studies Of the returns
that they should have had 100 seats
in this Parliament and have announced
their intention to press for electoral re.
form in the next Parliament. 1t is true
that in a strict ratio of seats held tc
votes cast, Liberals would have hac
that many seats. This. unhappily
would have made the situation ever
more complicated. Neither of the other
parties Is likely to work up much ex.
element over this, however.
