IN NEED
Strong Plea for Aid to Dis
K tressed Philippines.
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE CASH
President and Secretary of War Ursre
Action, on, ConimlxHion'i Reqnciit'
for Jlcdnction of Tariff, Cur
rency Reform, Relief of Poor.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. The President
today submitted to Congress the third an
nual report of the Philippine Commission,
with extensive appendices. Accompany
ing the President's letter of transmittal
was a letter from Secretary Root making
a strong plea for Immediate help by Con
gress for the inhabitants of the archipel
ago. In his letter transmitting the report
and indorsing Secretary Roofs plea,
President Roosevelt says:
'I call your special attention to the
recommendations contained In this letter
of the Secretary of "War. I most earnest
ly feel that the enactment of the measures
already pending In your body for the bet
terment of the Philippine Islands Is im
peratively demanded by the situation in
those Islands, and serious calamity may
come from failure to enact them. Fur
thermore, I with equal earnestness ask
your attention to the recommendations of
the Secretary of "War In the accompany
ing letter, and urge its adoption, so that
the sum of money therein specified may
bo appropriated for the uses In the man
ner likewise specified, in order that the
present distress in the islands may be
remedied."
Secretary Root, In his letter to the Presi
dent, says:
"I beg to ask ppoclal consideration of
the recommendations of the commission,
all of which have my hearty approval.
"It seems to me that the conditions re
sulting from the destruction by rinderpest
of 90 per cent of the caribous, the draft
animals of the Islands, and the consequent
failure of the rice crop, followed by an
epidemic of cholera, are so serious and
distressing as to call for action by Con
gress beyond that for which the commis
sion specifically asks.
"The removal under the laws of Con
gress of export duties on goods shipped
from the Philippines to the United States
has materially reduced the duties of the
Islands, while the duties collected In the
United States upon Importations from the
Philippines, which under the same laws
were to be turned over to the Philippine
treasury, and were expected to make good
the deficit, have amounted to practically
nothing. At the same time, the decline In
the price of silver, the evils of a fluctuat
ing currency and the impoverishment of
the people have reduced the government
revenues when they are most needed for
relief of the people. I think the occasion
for relief in the Philippines is now greater
than it was in Cuba when Congress ap
propriated $3,000,000 for the payment of
the Cuban soldiers out of the Treasury of
the United States, or that It was in Porto
Rico when "hundreds of thousands of dol
lars were contributed by the people of the
United States and more than 51,030,000 was
paid out of the National Treasury for the
relief of the sufferers of the hurricane in
August 18S9.
"An appropriation of not less than
J3.O00.000 for the relief of the distress in
the Philippines from the causes which 1
have mentioned will be in harmony with
the course pursued by Congress toward
the people of the other Spanish Islands,
a practical evidence of the sincere inter
est the people of the United States take
in the welfare of tho Philippine people
and of the kindly and generous treatment
which they should receive. Previous ex
perience Indicates that such an appropria
tion could be made the most useful by
giving the -Philippine government discre
tion to apply it In such proportions as
they deem wise in the direct purchase and
distribution and sale of supplies or
through the employment of labor in the
construction of government wagon roads,
railroads- or other public works."
PRESIDENT TALKS ON TRUSTS.
Confers With House Leaders on Lec
islatlon to Be Passed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. President
Roosevelt had a conference today with
Speaker Henderson and Representative
Grosvcnor, of Ohio, with regard to proper
anti-trust legislation. The conference
lasted for a. considerable time, the situa
tion In the House being discussed thor
oughly. It is understood that the Presi
dent impressed upon his callers who went
to the executive offices at his request, hla
desire that some legislation dealing with
the trust question should be enacted at
the present session of Congress. No par
ticular measure was under discussion, and
of course none was agreed upon.
"The trust question la a most difficult
one to handle In a legislative way," said
General Grosvcnor, as he left the execu
tive offices, "but I think some measure
will bo enacted Into law at this session.
It will bo necessary to oteer a middle
course between the desires of the radical
anti-trust people and those who profess
to see little evil In trusts or combinations
of capital. That such a course, will be
adopted by Congress I have no doubt."
It Is understood that during the con
ference today the question of bringing
the subject of trusts to the attention of
the House in a formal way at an early
date was considered, but what conclu
sion, if any was reached. Is not known.
BOXER CLAIMS ADJUSTED.
Total Demanded ly Missionaries
Scaled Down More Than Half.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. Mr. Bain
bridge, secretary of the United States
Legation at Pekln, and United States
Consul-General Ragsdale, at Tien Tsln,
who with Minister Conger constituted the
board which adjusted the claims of Amer
ican missionaries for losses sustained dur
ing the Boxer uprising, called upon Sec
retary Hay today. All but two of these
claims have been practically settled, all
that remains to complete the settlement
being the payment by the State Depart
ment of tho claims in 25 per cent Install
ments semi-annually.
The board having concluded Its labors.
"the State Department has been enabled to
make a summary showing the amount
claimed by and allowed to missionaries
on account of the Boxer troubles, as fol
lows:
There are 230 claims, amounting In the
aggregate to $3,303,034, and the amount
allowed was $1,516,232. It was estimated
that about $2,000,000 would be required to
defray these claims, and In view of the
smaller total, the State Department may
be able to settle them in three instead of
four installments, as was originally in
tended.
FOR SOLDIERS' AMUSEMENT.
Army Board Proposes to Speed $50,-
OOO at Vancouver Barracks.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. The Army board

' AMENDING LAND LAWS.
Moody's Checkerboard Bill to Apply
to WaKoa Road Grant.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. The House
ISLAN
committee on general public lands today
directed Representative Moody, of Ore
gon, who was authorized some time ago
to favorably report the bill providing ror
an exchange of railroad grant lands for
lands of the public domain, to amend tne
bill before reporting it to the House, so
as to make it apply to wagon grant lands
as well as to railroad grant lands.
Representative Mondell, of Wyoming,
informed the committee that he would
prepare and Introduce & bill embodying
recommendations of the Secretary of the
Interior relative to selling timber of the
public lanas.
Conllnpr Stations In Culm.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. The Indications
are that the United States will satisfy it
self by claiming one coaling station In
Cuba namely, at Guantanamo although
the Navy Department Is desirous of ac
quiring at -least two others, one at Clen-
fuegos and another probably at iiania
Honda, which seems to have been selected
Instead of Nipa as -the best port of the
northern coast next to Havana, which
cannot be had. The Cuban government
has been made aware of the wishes of the
United States, and the subject will soon
come up for adjustment.
Klauxaths Want Reserve Opened.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. A delegation of
Klamath Indians Is here to urge the pas
sage of a bill opening up a portion of
their reservation to settlement and entry.
The bill has passed the Senate and is fa
vorably reported In the House, but Is op
posed by Chairman Cannon, of the appro
priations committee, because It carries an
appropriation to pay for the land.
NATIVE -ARMIES PARADE
Grand Revlevr of Oriental Magfnl-
fleence at Indian. Durbar.
DELHI, Jan. 7. The Viceroy, Lord Cur-
zon of Keddleston, and Lady Curzon and
the Duke and Duchess of Connaught to
day reviewed the retainers of the ruling
chiefs in e durbar arena. The variety
of costume and paraphernalia afforded
one of the most striking pictures of the
durbar festivities. Contingents from all
parts of Greater India participated, most
ly retaining the distinctive featurea of
their costumes.
The flags and other emblems of tho
State of Cutch were carried on camels
and elephants, accompanied by armed
men on suits, while AraD irregulars
danced past the Viceroy to the music of
their own Instruments. The famous gold
and silver guns of the State of Baroda
attracted much attention. The ancient
Mahratta flags, descended from the Mogul
Emperors, were borne past on an elephant
carriage. The martial Rajputs were clad
in mall armor.
State bands, camel kettle-drums, richly
caparisoned elophants and horses and
agile swordsmen, many shouting battle
cries, followed, one another In quick suc
cession. A royal elephant carriage, two
stories high, showed how the palace la
dies accompanied the Princes of by-gone
daya A relique of the State of Nashmlr
included a fine detachment of culrrasslers
and a huge giant The great Sikh states
were represented by large, soldlor-llke
bodies of men armed with maces, spears,
match-locks and hand grenades. Each
contingent was headed by an elephant
bearing a gorgeous howdah. In one of

cupied tho place of honor. The book was
guarded by the chief priest.
The venerable Chief Naboha, escorted
by men mounted on richly caparisoned
horses and accompanied by hounds and
hawks, was a striking feature of the dis
play, which, for wealth of coloring, di
versity of components and number ol
spectators, may be considered to have
been the most brilliant of the durbar dis
play. DOES NOT ADVANCE PRICE.
Effect of British Grain and Sngsr
Duties No Injury to Consumers.
NEW YORK. Jan. 7. The revenue from
the grain registration duties and sugar
tax promises to exceed $37,500,000 for the
fiscal year, says a London dispatch to the
Tribune. These taxes have been collected
without an Increased cost on sugar.
wheat, barley or oats to the consumer.
The prices of wheat, barley and oats ar
now from 2s 7d to 3s lower a quarter
than they were before the registration
duties were Imposed. These duties have
been more than balanced by the condi
tions of supply and demand and the sugar
tax has also been more than neutralized
by abundant supplies, so that consumers
have not suffered from the duties levied
reluctantly by Sir Michael Hicks-Beach
two years ago.
Convenient as It may be for the Liberals
In the by-electlons to raise loud out
cries against Ihe oppressive taxation
of the masses through the abandonment
of free trade principles, meat and coffee
have both risen in price through condi
tions of decreased supply, although there
has been no change in tariff arrange
ments'. Sugar and grain duties might
have been doubled without increased cost
to consumers, as prices have averaged
durlnsr the year.
TUG OP WAR IN CHINA.

Control of Manchuria.
PEKIN, Jan. 7. The Russian customs
negotiations are continuing. The Japanese
representatives have advised the Chinese

sentative suggested modifications of the

eredMember of Firm Suspected.
NACOGDOCHES.Tex., Jan. 7. It is
said that the developments in the failure
of the Wettermark Bank at Nacogdoches

MAKES CASTRO FEEL SAD
ANSWER OF ALLIES TO HIS PEACE
PROPOSALS.
They Want Large Sam Down Before
Beginning Arbitration He Will
Send Reply Today.
CARACAS, Jan. 7. Tho answers of tho
powers to President Castro'slast proposal
relative to arbitration were delivered to
President Castro this afternoon by United
States Minister Bowen. A meeting of the
Cabinet was also called to consider these
communications. The answer of Venezu
ela will be handed to Minister Bowen and
will be forwarded by him at once to
Washington.
It ha3 been learned from an author
itative source that the answers of the
powers delivered by Mr. Bowen this aft
ernoon have created a feeling of depres
sion In Venezuelan government circles.
All sorts of rumors are current In Car
acas tonight concerning President Cas

the powers, but none of them is reliable.
It can be said upon good authority that
Mr. Bowen does not expect to receive the
Venezuelan answer before tomorrow.
SPEEDY SETTLEMENT NEEDED.
Public Opinion Irritated at Balfour's
Alliance With Germany.
NEW YORK, Jan. 7. A growing feeling
of Impatience at Berlin over the prospect
of a prolonged delay in regard to a set
tlement of the Venezuelan claim is, ac
cording to the Tribune's London corre
spondent, noted suspiciously by a good
many writers of the press. The German
Embassy In London is reported as reflect
ing the opinion of the Berlin Foreign
Office that an award must be made within
three months from the opening of tht
proceedings at The Hague tribunal.
The slightest Indication of resentment on
the part of the American press over Ger
man strictures on the Monroe Doctrine
would be a signal for a vigorous denuncia
tion ,pf the British Foreign Office for per
severing in an alliance which has boen
disliked from the outset, even with evi
dence of a lack of excitement In America.
There are warnings from the provincial
press that Lord Lansdowne must maxt
strenuous efforts to remove the obstacles
which Germany Is placing In the way of a
sneedv settlement, and there are also elaD-
orate argument in demonstration of the
position that British interests will be
served best by a frank acceptance of the
Monroe Doctrine as a safeguard against
European schemes of annexation or of a
partition of. the Western Heraispncre.
The 'fate of the Balfour Government
would be scaled If Germany, with Great
Britain supporting her, were Involved In
complications with the United States.
POWERS WANT CASH DOWN.
Castro Must Pay Them $335,000 Each
Before They Will Negotiate.
BERLIN. Jan. 7. That portion of the
Joint reply of the powers to Venezuela
suggesting a settlement without arbltra
tlon only goes so far as to offer to treat
for a settlement out of court after the
payment of cash or the giving of a sum
clent guarantee for the payment of J335.000
to each power. This reservation remains
as the fixed and only condition precedent
to arbitration or negotiation direct for a
supplementary agreement. Tho German
government would much prefer to cjose
up tho matter by negotiations tnrougn
Minister Bowen, while the blockade con
tinues, than withdraw the blockade and
adjust the claims through The Hague ar
bitration court.
Italy Makes It Unanimous.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. Through the
United States Embassy at Rome, the
State Department today received the an
swer of the Italian Government to Presi
dent Castro's proposition, and, as was
the case with tho British and German an
swers. Secretary Hay has forwarded It to
Minister Bowen at Caracas for submls-
fiion to President Castro. It is stated
that the Italian note Is on lines similar
to the British and German notes.
