These are not misfits, but suits made to order on which deposits have been paid and which for unkown reasons remained uncalled for. Such things happen to every Tailoring establish establishment. It is by advertising and making a feature of selling these suits that they find it more advantageous to consign them to us than to attempt to dispose of them from their own establishments.

Next Imperial Hotel PORTIAND, OREL WASHINGTON. Nov. t-In view of the cunvnt dtiK-umtlon of the military' agreement between Gnru.l Dates and the HUltnn of Zulu, tlie views of Presi dent Schurman of tho Phillplno com niltnluii on this subject ar tnteivotlng. Mr. Schurman . was ono of the first Americans to visit Jolo, the seat of the SpitiilHh government In the Sulu archl pelotro, and hod an extended Interview with the sultan before tho arrival of General Bulce. The arrangement en tered Into between General Dates and the sultan was considerably Influenced by this meeting. Although the full text of the agreement with the sultan has not been made public by the Washing ton authorities, It can be stalled that It practically conforms to the previous convention exlatlng between the sultan and tho Spanish government. In this agreement, Spain never claimed any more than an external pro tectorate In the Sulu group, the right to suppress piracy In Its waters and pre vent the periodical migrations of oath bound Mohammedans who went to the northern Inlands under a vow to kill Christiana and thus secure an entrance Into paradise. Profoaor Schurman eaid today when questioned about the probable continu ance of polygamy and slavery in tho IkIiukIh after they came under American dominion that tills was a subject which would have to be dealt with In the most careful fashion to bring about an ultl mately satisfactory solution. "It seems to me," sold he, "that were It not for the Ignorance displayed, the present hue and cry about polygamy and slavery In these Islands would be abholutely irlmtnal. In taking over the Sulu group we have acquired n rights exci-pi those bciUvathed to u by Spain. She whs bound by her agreement with the sultan not to Interfere with the re ligion or customs of the Hands, and It would be most unwise for us to attempt this by force when It can be ulti mately accomplished by the slower method of civilisation and education, i "The Sulu group contains about 100.-, OM Inhabitants. They are all Moham-' medans, as are about 150,000 of the res- j Idents of Mindanao, directly east. To' attempt to Interfere with the religions of these people would precipitate one; fnlted States, but It is my honest be- the number was John Jacob Astor. He , lief that what I haw just stated Is the Is now one of the prominent movers In truth, and that any attempt to Inter-! the concern. J.

GREAT COMBINE NOW FORMING ALL THE TELEfiKAPK LINES of the bloodiest wars In which this country has ever been engaged. TheVj aij? a different race, physically and( mentally, from the residents of the' VlBayan Inlands, powerful men and re-1 llglous fanatics of the most pronounced j typ. who care nothing for death and; believe that the road to heaven can bej attained by killing Christians. Polyg-i amy Is a part of their religion, and the, slavery about which so much Is being said Is a mild type of feudal bondage. I "The sultan believes from what he has seen of Americans that they arej ready to b friendly and deal honesty with him. Our soldiers and officers al-l ready travel into the Interior of Jolo j with perfect Impunity where Spaniards: never dnred to ret foot. It has beeni suggested Indirectly to the sultan thatj he should maintain an American of good standing as a confidential adviser j at his court to aid him In the work of, material development, for which the beautiful group of Islands Is ready, and which Is bound to come when they are! thrown In touch with the civilised! world. j "I believe that he will take kindly to this suggestion, and the leaven of civ ilization Introduced In this way ulti mately will do the work which armed Interference with Immoral religious customs never could accomplish, We have before us In this case the exam ple of England In her varlbus posses sions and the Dutch In Java, where a remarkable work of civilization and progress has been accomplished. We should take a leaf out of their book, which shows that semi-barbarous peo ple frequently can be led where thay could not be driven. "I have been already harshly criti cized for taking this stand In regard to the Sulu Islands since I returned to the Kill Be Consolidated With Cable and Telephone Companies Under One Management. PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 1. The North American this morning says: Ono of the greatest financial combi nation of the century Is In progress of formation. The organisers of the Con tinental Telegraph, Telephone & Cable Company, recently Incorporated In New Jersey, have obtained control of all the Independent telephone companies In the United States and aim to combine these with the great telegraph companies and the five Atlantic cable companies. Th-j office of the new concern is In the American Surety Company's building, New Tork city. From various sources, information reached the North American that the capitalists Interested in the venture In clude J. P. Morgan, George J. Gould, John Jacob Astor, William C. Whitney, P. A. B. Wldener and William L. El klns. Verification of the story was obtained tonight from Mr. Wldener at his home In Ogontx. He talked freely of the co lossal scheme, which, he says, will bring about a sweeping redaction In the cost of transmission of electrical messages all over the country. Among other things he said: "The plan has been under considera tion for some time. Mr. Martin Maloy, who was the active agent In the enter prise, and may be said to hove engi neered K, has been In New York for about a year. "His efforts culminated when he suc ceeded In sufficiently interesting sev eral big financiers In New Tork. Among with the consolidation, is not connected with It In any way."
