CHANGE FOR TRADE
Prestige of United States in
Orient is Good.
MAY SOON BEAT ENGLAND
Russian Influence 1 Merely Political
and .! Confined to the North
Report of War Department'
Special Commissioner.
. BAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 24. Dr. Jere
miah W. Jenks, special commissioner
of the United States in the Orient for the
War Department and professor of polit
ical economy and politics in Cornell Uni
versity, has returned from his year's
Journey through Europe and Southeast
ern Asia and Is spending a few days with
friends at Stanford University before
starting for the East next Tuesday. This
Journey he had undertaken .at the call
of the "War Department, having been ap
pointed by Secretary Root special com
missioner to Investigate the workings of
the currencies of Eastern countries, thelrn
systems of internal taxation, the im
portation of coolie and Chinese labor to
work the plantations of the East Indies,
the use of native police and the organi
zation of the constabulary in general
to report upon tho Internal administra
tion of the Dutch and English possessions
in the far East. The purpose of the in
vestigation was to throw all the light
possible upon the problems which con
front us in the 'government and indus
trial development of the Philippines. Mr.
Conant, holding a somewhat similar com
mission, went to the Philippines direct,
and made an Investigation of tho cur
rency In use among the islands.
Dr. Jenks report in regards o matters
of currency was completed during his
seven weeks' stay in the Philippines
and the reports on taxation, imported
labor and police control while he was
in Japan. The reports are now in the
hands of the Secretary of War.
Professor Jenks found that the pres
tige of the United States throughout tho
East had been vastly Increased by the
events of the last four years. In trade,
particularly in China, no power except
England has the future before it that
the United States has, and commercially
England herself is likely soon Jto be out
stripped by the great Republic Germany
has a vast and rapidly growing trade
with the East, but her geographical posi
tion will enforce a severe handicap upon
her in the future. Russia's influence is
largely political and is likely to be con
fined strictly to the North.
Following out his Instructions, Dr.
Jenks visited the different countries of
Europe which have colonies in the East,
to learn what their experience might
teach in government of the peoples of the
Orient and trade with them. After pass
ing some weeks in Egyp"t ho sailed for
India, touching at the Island of Ceylon.
His itinerary and investigations also In
cluded Burmah, Java, Sumatra, the
Straits Settlements, China, the Philippines'
and Japan.
"While In India, the Dutch colonies and
Japan, gold has been declared the stand
ard of value; silver, except In Japan, is
almost exclusively the medium of ex
change. A par of exchange between gold
and silver was reached in India about
four years ago. The silver in use
throughout the East Indies is pretty, gen
erally the Mexican dollar or some similar
coin, dating back to the old days of
Spanish supremacy in war and trade. A
peculiar stato of affairs exists in some
of the islands, particularly in East Su
matra, where the Dutch coinage is the
official currency, demanded in taxes and
Imposts and paid to all government of
ficials, while the silver money of the
Straits Settlements is used exclusively
to pay the coolie and Chinese laborers
who work the" plantations and in ordinary
retail trade.
BERLIN LOOKS TO NEW YORK.
Rumors About Schwab and Morgan
Imports and Exports.
BERLIN, Aug. 24. The bourse showed
a. decidedly better tone last week and
operators eagerly anticipated J. P. Mor
gan's return to New York and hoped for
a bull Impetus from that market. The
bourse of yesterday responded strongly
to New York exchange of Friday. The
bulls also worked the rumor, but without
success, that Charles M. Schwab, presi
dent of the United States Steel Corpora
tion, was coming to Europe to organize
commercial combines in England and
Germany upon the American type.
Another favorable factor last week was
a considerable number of Belgian orders
for German pig iron; this, however, was
wholly offset by a number of disappoint
ing reports and the despondent tone of
the Iron trade. Coal shares were buoyed
up by increasing sales of coke and the
larger output of pig iron, which in July
amounted to 707,921 tons, or 56,600 tons
above the output for July of 1901.
During the- week irons advanced three
to Ave polrite;'" coal shares one to two
points. Among foreign rentes Russians
were strongest upon being listed at New
York. Domestic government loans were
quiet but steady. Money Is growing eas
ier. The grain markets were most ac
tive upon the continuance of the rains
which are delaying harvests and damag
ing crops.
For the first seven months of this year,
the Imports of Germany amounted to
23.869.407 tons as against 23.119.078 tons im
ported in the corresponding period of
190L Germany exported 18,185,433 tons up
to August 1 of this year as against 17,
863,087 tons Imported during the first
seven months of 1901.
Money Limited in London.
LONDON, Aug. 24. The supply of
money continues to be limited, although
the market was considerably assisted by
government disbursements. The particu
lar adverse feature of the week -was the
weakness of consols. The firmness of dis
count rates in spite of the growing bank
reserve, reflects the general Impression
that gold will be shipped to the United
States. Shares were dull and neglected
during the last week and the attendance
at the stock exchange was small. In view
of the Indisposition to buy or sell, prices
were holding well. The present apathy i3
partly due to the holidays and is chiefly
attributable to the uncertainty of the
outlook. American railroad shares alone
showed animation and this was due to
excellent traffic showing. Kaffirs were
firmer and in great demand' on the conti
nent than in London.
TAFT ON WITNESS STAND
Ex-Filipino Generals Good Civilians
Wright to Come Home.
MANILA, Aug. 24. The defense in the
Freedom sedition case has called Gover
nor Taft as a witness to show that many
iormer insurgent leaders who were guilty
of various offenses not recognized by the
laws of war have been appointed to civil
positions. Governor Taft gave testi
mony to the effect that many .such
former insurgents had been appointed but
that they had proved honest, straight
forward and earnest. He said that some
of them had been guilty of murder from
American standards, but that from their
own standpoint they undoubtedly be
lieved their conduct of the war to have
fceen legitimate. Governor Taft said
that ho had found these appointees to be
loyal and that they -were not chosen be
cause they happened to he Insurgent Gen
erals, but because they were men of In
fluence among their own people. He
said the experience of the civil author
ities with these men had been most satis
factory. Governor Taft has resumed tho Gov
ernorship of tho archipelago, relieving
Luke E. "Wright, who has been acting
Governor during Judge Taffa absence.
Commissioner Wright is preparing to
visit the United States.
Native Constabulary Ambushed. '
MANILA, Aug. 24. Ten members of tho
native constabulary were ambushed last
Tuesday at a point near Magdalcna in
the Province of Sorsogon, Luzon, by a
band of GO ladrones. The latter were
armed with rifles and bolos, and a des
perate fight at close range took place.
One member of the constabulary was
killed, two were wounded and three were
captured. Seventy constabulary have
taken tho field in pursuit of the ladrones.
More Deaths Than Are Reported.
MANILA, Aug. 24. Cholera official sta
tistics show a total to date of 24.266 cases
and 18,040 deaths. The actual number of
cases and deaths is greatly in excess of
the .official reports. In Manila there
were eight cases reported last Saturday.
In eome of the provinces of Luzon, the
cholera situation Is bad, 414 cases and 317,
deaths were reported from the Province
of Ilocos Norte, last Saturday.

run unseen by Admiral Hlgglnson into
Gloucester harbor.
NEED WIRELESS TELEGRAPH.
Hlffglnnon Says It Would Render
Torpedo Scouts Unnecessary.
ROCKPORT, Mass., Aug. 24. To an As
sociated Press correspondent Admiral Hlg
glnson praised the signal Bervice men.
He scored the telephone service and said
It appeared very inadequate. Ho empha
sized the necessity of the wireless tele
graph, and illustrated the benefits if ships
of the Navy were fitted with this new
Invention.
"There would have been no need of the
torpedo scouts," he said, "for I would
have known at all times the exact location
of my ships. We need the service badly.
We are three years behind our foreign
friends, in this respect, and I hope the
system will be installed on the ships of
the Navy very soon."
Commander Plllsbury was asked regard
ing his movements, and stated that when
he left Provincetown last Tuesday his
fleet sailed directly to sea, running off
some 400 miles about southeast of Cape
Cod. His plan was to lay off there until
Saturday night, and then to try for Salem
harbor. Coming on the coast last night,
ho had first thought of making a feint
with one of his ships in the direction of
Portland, hoping to draw oft Admiral Hlg
glnson and the big ships of his command
In that direction, but as. a heavy sea was
running and as his ships were slow of
speed and their bottoms foul, he decided
not to do this, and made his run direct
for Salem harbor. The only ship of Ad
miral HIgglnson's fleet he saw during the
entire period was the torpedo-boat Bar
ney, which he sighted juet about the same
time he found he was discovered.
Report of the Panther.
VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass., Aug. 24.
The United States ship Panther, Com
mander Wilson, of the defeated white
squadron, anchored in this harbor this
afternoon on the way from Salem, bound
for New London, at which port she will
remain until August 3L when the vessel
will take on board the naval militia of
Connecticut and report to Admiral Hlggln
son to participate in tho continuation of
the naval maneuvers.
The executive officer on board the Pan
ther stated tonight that three ships of
the Atlantic squadron had been lying about
80 miles off shore waiting favorable weath
er to make a dash for the coast. The
weather wag delightful, and the bright
moonlight nights had been extremely un
favorable for an attempt to gain an an
chorage on the coast without being dis
covered. It was decided, however, to
make an attempt last night, and the fleet
steamed toward shore in an effort to
reach Salem harbor. No lights wero visi
ble from either ship, and they succeeded
in passing the line of scouts without being
observed. They were off Manchester this
morning when daylight broke and they
were discovered.
White Squadron Handicapped.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24. Prompt In
formation of Commander PHlsbury's de
feat in his attempt to enter Salem har
bor and hold it against the ships of Ad
miral HIgglnson's fleet came to the Navy
Department this morning in the following
dispatch from the commander of tho at
tacking fleet:
"Gloucester, Mass., Aug. 24. White
squadron surrendered to blue at daylight
this morning while entering Salem har
bor. The Panther and tho Supply have
been ordered to proceed in obedience to
the Department's Instructions. The Prai
rie goes to Boston tomorrow for repairs.
"PILLSBURY."
The white squadron's defeat was antici
pated by the Navy offlclals.here. They
believe he was handicapped by the the
limited area of the defending line, the
slow speed of his ships and the small
number of ports which he could enter
under the rules.

Episcopal church, in the presence of the
President, tvho acted as godfather; Sena
tor and Mrs. Lodge, the latter actins as
godmother; Mrs Julia Ward Howe and a
large number of the personal friends of
the family. The affair was regarded as"
one of the most auspicious events of the
season at that fashionable resort, due not
only to the prominence of the Chanlers
but to the fact that the President of the
United States would act as godfather to
the child.
The traveling Sunday was something
new for the President, but In t)ils instance
he was obliged to depart from his usual
custom, aa he went to Newport for no
ether purpose than to attend the christen

again as the President passed. There
were two miles of carriages on either side

Mrs Lodge, and was escorted from Lynn
to Nahant by a troop of cavalry.
The arrival at Nahant was a signal for
another outbreak of applause, and the two

Society Refuses to Dress In Colonial
Costume for Sirs. Fish's Ball.
New York Journal.
Poor Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish Is experi
encing no end of difficulty and disappoint
ment in connection with her colonial ball
at Newport next week. First it was tho
men who protested so much against her
edict exacting that they should shave off
their mustaches and beards that she was
obliged to withdraw It although hirsute
adornments of this kind will appear ridic
ulously incongruous with costumes of tho
times of the Colonial epoch.
And now I hear that quite a number of
women and some of the most fashion
able ones at that have made up their
minds to content themselves with merely
powdering their hair, refusing to go to
the troublo and expense of having gor
geous lSth century costumes made solely
for that one evening.
If Mrs. Fish objects to their attending
her dance in this guise and they stay
away In consequence thereof, the enter
tainment wlU be doomed to failure.
Indeed, tho outlook for the ball Is not a
rosy one by any means, for, what with
half the men wearing beards and mus
taches In conjunction with colonial dress,
and many of tho women being arrayed
in ordinary modern, up-to-date gowns,
with powdered hair as the solo conces
sion" to Mrs. Fish's decree of fancy dress,
the dance as a spectacular effect will bo
disappointing, while a number of thoBe
women who go to the length of donning
lSth century costumes will feel uncom
fortable by the knowledge that they aro
attracting invidious and unfriendly atten
tion to their ancestry, which would
scarcely he described as colonial.
In one word. New York socloty; no
matter whether in town or Newport does
not tako kindly to fancy dress balls. The
Bradley Martin entertainment of that
kind was a dismal failure, wmio tne oniy
thing that preserved the celebrated Van
derbllt ball costume from a similar fato
was the presence of Consuelo. Duchess of
Marlborough, and the curiosity of the
fashionable set here to know something
more of the W. K. Vanderbllts, then
bursting forth on the social horizon of
this city.
"Skeeters" In Atlantic Olty.
New York World.
Millions of mosquitoes swarmed over At
lantic City Thursday and bit every one
they came In contact with. The board
walk was a living field of them, and they
hovered in millions around the lights.
On the Ocean Pier the situation was
worse. It was necessary for tho manage
ment to place lighted punk all over the
pier. Hundreds of women with their es
corts carried lighted punk on the board
walk, while the drug stores did a land
ofilco business and the price of cltronella
oil went ud several cents.
Some of the mosquitoes are the largest
ever seen here. Professor H. S. Wright of
the Atlantic City High School, had one
sent to him which measured three-quarters
of an inch. The professor stated that
the poison from the insect was strong
enough to kill an Army mule. The pests
"queered" everything that was good and
the actors had a disagreeable experience.

that qll tho demands made , by the Unit

(The non-execution by the Turkish Gov

INSURGENTS ARE WINNING
Capture Gunboat With SOO Govern
ment Soldiers.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug., 24. Details
of tho capture of tho Colombian Govern
ment gunboat Boyaca by the Insurgents
outside of -Panama have reached here,
The Boyaca was captured August 1 by
the Insurgent gunboat Padllla, after a
snort and unequal fight She had on
board at the time nearly 300 soldiers.
under the command of Generals Ferrero
and Eano, who were to reinforce Gen
eral Morales Bertl, at Agua Dulce. The
Boyaca also carried several cannon, a
supply of ammunition and a large sum
of money. Flying the Insurgent flag, the
Boyaca is now guarding tho entrance to
Panama harbor.
Nothing deflnlto Is known on the Isth
mus of the situation of the government
General Morales Bertl, at Agua Dulce.
but many persons believe that the Gen
eral, after withstanding a siege of sev
eral days, during which his forces were
subjected, chiefly at night to a severe
artillery fire from the Insurgents, proved
the hopelessness of receiving reinforce
ments and supplies from Panama, and
was forced to surrender to the insurgents.
If the reported surrender of the govern
ment forces at Agua Dulce is true, the
insurgent General Hen-era Is confronted
by a big problem to provide food and shel
ter for and to control this large and hos
tile element
Rumors are current on the Isthmus that
several detachments of Insurgents have
been seen at the various stations along
tne railroad line between Colon and Pan
ema, and an attack at either end of the
line Is expected at any moment. Be
cause of the presence of Insurgents along
tne railroad, the government is most
anxious to obtain reinforcements on the
Isthmus as soon as possible. Fresh trou
ble, however, is said to be browing In the
Interior of the republic, and. owing to
the frequent refusals of steamships to
carry government troops, the bringing of
reinrorcements to the Isthmus Is- appar
ently no easy matter.
The government gunboat General Pla
zon arrived at Cartagena a week ago
irom Colon, after having made the voy
age with difficulty. It Is now said to be
Impossible for the General Plnzon to go
to sea again & her present condition.
Important parts of her machinery have
been completely ruined.
Government officials on the Isthmus as
sert that the newly acquired government
cruiser uirtagena snortly win bring
troops to the Isthmus. In other quarters.
It is said tho Cartagena Is neither at
Savanilla nor at Cartagena, but that she
has gone to Santa Marta, whence she
will proceed to the British Island of Trln
idad, in connection with the detention
there of the steamer Llberatador, which
has been in the service of the Matos res
olution against President Castro, of Vene
zuela. The Colombian Government recog
nizes the revolutionary situation to be
serious.
Many persons question the ability of
the insurgents to hold Colon If they at
tack and capture that port owing to the
fact that they possess no gunboats on the
Atlantic side of the Isthmus. The govern
ment Is endeavoring to purchas6 another
war vessel in tho United States for use
