powers should be made in gold or
silver, say the American interpreta
tion of the protocol meet with no ap
proval from the other governments con

Washington, June 25. Hon. Leo W

having arrived on leave of absence from

"The acope of the commission has

from 915 per month to $7,700 per year."
lie say the immediate award to suc
cessful applicant baa cauted a change
in the old claaeical system of education
under the old Spanish regime to one of
more modern character, based laruelv
on practical baaineea line. So great ia
the interest of the Filipinos in acquir
ing a knowledge of fcngliid) that 10,000
ilultaare gobig to night schools in
Manila.
Before the American advent in
Manila typewritten were almost un
known in the Philippines, but at everv
examination held by the commission
pplicant are qualifying n typewriting
and stenography. Of tlie 6,000 posi-
tlons mentioned, 4,000 are held by
natives, the remainder by Americans.
The policy of the commission, ilr.
Pepirman says, ha been to replace
Ameiican by Filipinos a "rapidly rs
possible.
"Under Spanish rule." he contin
ued, "women were unheard of in the
government service, but before I left
Manila three Filipino young ladies had
passed successful examination and had
been given good (positions. The Fili
pino makes a splendid clerk. Shortly
liefore coming to America I made tour
ofthe principal province for the pur
pose of conducting examinations. It
waa surprising how much good material
was discovered, considering the fact
that the education of the islands is cen
tered in Manila.'
NO TREATY WITH CUBA.
Tmm Too Short Before End of Seieioa to
Negotiate One.
Washington, Jrne 25. It has been
determined that no reciprocity treaty
with Cuba can be submitted at the
present session of congress. It was at
first planned that, in the event of the
failure of tlie administration managers
in the senate to secure favorable action
on the Cuban sugar bill, a treaty
would be drafted at once. This was on
the understanding that Senor Quesada,
the Cuban minister here, had full
power and that a treaty could be drawn
up in Washington entirely. It is
stated now, however, that this cannot
be done, and that any draft of a treaty
must go to Havana and be returned be
fore it can be submitted to the senate.
This, of course, cannot be accom
plished in the short space of tiniejin
tervening before adjournment, if the
estimate of the leader that congress
will adjourn by July 4 are correct.
No confidence is felt in administra
tion circles aa to the ability of the sen
ate manager to secure the ratification
of a treaty, even if one ia drawn, and
while the president may feel called
upon to put the matter to a test,'it will
be rather ith the idea of demonstrat
ing hi own purpose to do everything
possible for Cuba than in any expecta
tion that a two-thirds vote for ratifica
tion could be received.
DEBATE WARMS UF.
Philippine Discuuioa ia the Mouse Become
Lively.
Washington, June 25. Some routine
business preceded the resumption of
the debate on the Philippine civil gov
ernment bit in the house yesterday.
Bills were passed to make Great Falls,
Mont., the port of entry for the collec
tion district comprising Montana and
Idaho; to authorize the secretary of
war to issue duplicate of certificates'of
discbarge instead of certified copies as
provided under the present law; to ex
tend the privilege of transportation
of dutiable merchandise without ap
praisement to the sub-ports of Tacoma
and Seattle, Wash.
A .resolution was adopted calling
upon the secretary of war for informa
tion as to the payments made by Gov
ernor General Wood to F. B. Thurber
and any other person or coiporation,
together with the date and accounts
of ' such payments, for advocating re
ciprocity with Cut.
The consideration of the Philippine
civil government hill was then resumed
and IeArmond, of Mo., made a general
speech in opposition to the policy of re
taining the islands. He was followed
by Olmetead, Grosvenor and Mahon
favoring their retention. These speech
es were answeicd by Bartlett, after
which the bouse adjourned until 8
o'clot k in the evening, when a number
of speeches wete made for and against
the measure under consideration.

tie arc Being Removed aad Stands De
aeollahed Can a Sarprae.
London, June 25. With dramatic
suddenness the king has been stricken
down upon the eve of hi coronation.
He now lies in a critical itate at
Buckingham palace, and the coronation
has been indefinitely postponed. Sir
rrencis Hnollys, the king private
secretary, issued the following official
announcement yesterday afternoon:
" The king is suffering from peritVDh
litis. Ill condition on Saturday was
so satisfactory that it was honed that
with care his majesty would be able to
go through the ceremonies. On Mon
day evening a recrudesence became
manliest, rendering a surgical opera
tion necessary today."
Two hours later the following bulle
tin was ported at Buckingham palace:
The operation has been successfully
performed. A large abacees has been
evacuated. The king has borne the
operation well, and is in a satisfactory
condition."
There is no question, however, that
the king's condition is extremely criti
cal. King Edward is in a room facins
the beautiful gardens of Buckingham
palace, and far from the street and the
crowd. If last night's progress is
maintained, be will probably tide over
the effects of bis severe operation.
which successfully removed the local
trouble. But should any complication
occur, such as septic peritonitis or
blood poisoning, it is feared his majes
ty's present physical and nervous con
dition would prove unequal to the
strain involved. There is consequentlr
intense anxiety as to the outcome.
The king s doctors believe that bis
majesty would have been dead before
now except for the operation. His
condition became so alarming that at
one time it was feared death might
ensue before the surgeon' knife could
afford him relief. Intense swelling of
the extremities, accompanied by
alarming symptoms of mortification,
constituted tlie emergencv. and de
manded an immediate operation. To
the lai-t the king tried to avoid this,
and he was willing to be carried to the
abbey for the coronation ceremony in
order that it should occur as arranged.
The influence of Queen Alexandra wae
enlisted, however, and at an early
hour yesterday morning the royal pa
tient was prepared for tlie operation,
which even in the skillful hr.nds of
England's beet surgeons wai- fraught
with grave danger.
Queen Alexandra is terribly npset
and nervons. The roval grandchildren
were diiven to the palace shortly after
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
Prince and Princess of Wales remained
at Buckingham palace throughout the
afternoon and when thev left they ap
peared decidedly more cheerful than on
their arrival.
The best opinion seems to be that no
less than three months' postponement
of the coronation is inevitable, and
even in the event of the king's recovery,
the crowning of his majesty will cer
tainly be shorn of all its arranged-for
glories.
In the streets the change which came
over tlie crowds was most pronounced.
Traffic seemed momentarily paralyzed
and it was long before the full effect of
the startling intelligence waa felt.
The work of demolishing the stands
and all the paraphrenalia prepared for
the coronation is in full swing. Hun
dreds of workmen, who, yesterdav
morning, were engaged in putting the
finishing touches on the various jobs,
are now at work tearing down all that
had taken week to accomplish. The
low of the insurance companies will be
heavy, as great number of commercial
companies and private individuals had
taken out policies to cover them from
the loss of receipts from .stands and
the cost of decoration in the event of
the coronation not being held.
TORONTO. STRIKE ENDED.
Street Railway Employee Agree to a Com

Toronto, June 26. The strike of

night by the signing of a compromise
in behalf of the employes and the com
pany. It was agreed that the wage
scale announced by the company, pro
viding for pay at the rate of 17 to 21
cents per hour, according to the num
ber of yeais in continuous service, shall
remain in effect until July 1. In the
meantime, the employes may hold a
meeting, to be called under the
auspices of the board of trade com'
mittee, and if the majority of the regit'
lar and relief men vote by ballot to
submit a scale of 18 cents per hour for
the first year of service and 20 cents
thereafter, the company will substitute
it for the present scale. The company
will not interfere with the right of the
employes to organize, but 'declines to
recognize the union or to receive a

War Against Castro.

In the old Wolff A Zwicker Iron Work

Salmon to Jefferson streets, and burned
so hotly about the great oil filled tank

ance. There waa no loss of life. On
fireman was hurt, but not fatally. It
waa 10:50 when the alarm wa turned
in, and before the tret engine company
could reach the foundry of the Phoenix
Iron Works, formerly the Wolff A
Zwicker plant, the roof wa ablaze, and
the dry timber were carrying the fire
in every direction. The wretched water
facilities along the streets, and the
absence of any means to take the en
gines to the river, which was directly
beneath the roadway, made it impos
sible to do much more than spit at the
fire with a few 30 foot streams, and in
less than a half boor the iron works
were in the center of a rapidlv widen
ing zone ol flame, which soon extended
south beyond Jefferson street, and
almost to the Trty Laundry Company,
near East Yamhill. Every building in
the district was either leveled to the
ground or left a ci ambling ruin.
READ THE RIOT ACT.
Excitiag
DesaoattraUoa at Lost Creek
Colliery.
Shenandoah, Pa., June 24. There
wa an exciting demonstration in the
vicinity of the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company's four collieries, two miles
from Lott Creek, this state. This
morning about 300 men and boys gath
ered at this place, threw stones and
roughly handled several non nnicn men
and clubbed a coal and iron policeman.
The sheriff of Scholykill County finally
dispersed the crowd. The croud was
attracted to the colliery by the impor
tation of new men to take the place 'of
strikers. Deputy sheriffs were hurried
to the place from Pottsville, and, after
the riot act bad been read, the crowd
was persuaded to disperse. Shortly
aftei 6 o'clock the mob gathered again,
and several men were attacked as they
came out of the place. They were bad
ly "used up. A coal and iron, police
man, who came to their rescue, was
Btoned and clubbed, bot was not seri
ously hurt The superintendent of the
colliery would not allow his men to
make any move nor to nse their re
volvers, and in a abort time the crowd
also scattered.
In the meantime word was sent to
