segregation of mineral lands contained in

Congress to use their utmost endeavors
to procure the enactment of laws pro
viding for the regulation of such lands.
We urge the immediate adoption of a
broad National policy for the construction
of storage reservoirs by the National Gov
ernment to save for beneficial use the
waters of the arid regions, the same to
be free for the use of the people for
ever." The following were made Presidential

interests of the National committee In
his capacity of chairman of the subcom
mittee of that body, were present. The

about all that any of them would admit
was that an earnest effort, especially ef
fective, had been made to secure har
mony. Justice Earle, of Albany, was
mentioned as a gubernatorial possibility.
Senator Murphy said that he and Sena
tor McCarren had visited Hugh Mc
Laughlin today, but declined to say what
had been discussed beyond the state
ment that harmony was practically as
sured. He said that the National com
mittee would co-operate with the state
committee in the state campaign.

called today on ex-Secretary of the Treas
ury Carlisle, and the two were together
for an hour. Mr. Richardson said he got

knew his own mind, but preferred to
make no statement. Mr. Richardson an
nounced that Bourke Cockran will take
the stump for Bryan, and will be under
the direction of the speakers' bureau at
the Chicago headquarters, because It was
not intended to have a speakers' bureau
in the New York headquarters, and he
thought that Mr. Cockran would stump
in the West a larger part of the time.

"It is needless to say that I am heartily
in favor of the election of Bryan and
Stevenson. They are the candidates of
the Democratic party, duly and regu
larly nominated at a National convention
of which I was a member and which
treated me from beginning to end with
marked and unusual courtesy, and I am
honorably bound to support a ticket of
my party nominated under such circum
stances. While disagreeing with Mr.
Bryan in some matters, I need not reit
erate that I earnestly desire his election.
"Our opponents are entrenched In es
pionage -and power, and the struggle to
oust them must necessarily be terrific.
The tide, however, is with us. The skies
are becoming brighter every day. Let
us then all work together enthusiastically
for the cause, and victory is within our
reach."

MUTINY IN PHILIPPINE JAIL
Native Prisoners in Bllibld Tried to
Kill the Gnard.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. Manila papers
just received at the War Department give
details of a desperate mutiny among the
nativo prisoners in Bllibld prison, which
resulted in the death of four and the
wounding of 15 of them. The report
states that the outbreak came without
the slightest warning. The officials of
the prison were going about their duties
on a hot Summer afternoon, July 16. when
a little Filipino, serving a life term, as
sumed a crouching attitude and began
to creep up behind the native foreman,
giving utterance to a low growl "like a
wild beast. The effect was electrical on
the other convicts. In an Instant the
mutterings had grown to wild roar, every
prisoner was making for the keepers with
murder in his eye. The senior captain of
the native guard, when he commanded
the little mob to disperse, was slashed
across the back of tho head with a bolo.
Then the Infuriated men started for the
gateway of the prison to overpower the
guard and escape. They were met by
Major Rogers, the commandant, and a
small portion of the guard, who fired a
volley into the ranks of the fugitives.
Three men fell and thl-. seemed to check
the prisoners for an Instant, but their
leader, a Filipino of the most desperate
type, urged them on. Though already
wounded by the flrst fire, his spirit was
unbroken, and four times the rifles spoke
before he fell. Then, like rats in a trap,
the prisoners tried first one gateway and
then another, and probably would have
overpowered the small guard and mado
their escape had not American prisoners
themselves come to the rescue and helped
to capture the fugitives. A few more vol
leys from their reinforced pursuers and
the prisoners scurried to their quarters
in abject terror.
Washington School Book Graft.
Vancouver Independent.
The new school books adopted through
out the state by Governor Rogers' Board
of Education, of which Superintendent of
Public Instruction Browne is at the head,
is one of the worst grafts yet Inflicted
upon the public in this state. The con
tract for furnishing these books was let
to the West Land Publishing Company,
a company created within the last year
for the sole purpose of furnishing these
books for the next five years. The com
pany is made up of stockholders, most of
whom are members of the Populist party.
Forty-five per cent cf the books are
authored by Democrats in the state, one
citizen in this city being asked to write
the speller, but refused. The company
is not only allowed a good price for
their books, but demand a 25 per cent or
more exchange price on books exchanged,
besides requiring such books to be almost
as good as new. Dealers throughout the
state are given the smallest commission
ever offered, besides being required to
handle the exchange books without any
pay for their labors whatsoever.
The old standard companies, on the
other hand, not only furnish a better
line of text-books, but they allow in a
large number of states an even exchange
for the old books of the pupils.
This is a graft that affects the pocket
book of moro people, and is a severer tax
upon a man with a family than a 2-m'll
addition to his tax would bo. When a
political party In' Its public actions tends
to hurt our public schools, It is high
time that It be ousted.
