BeoroUry Taft in hastening to Manila to prowmt an utter collapso of tho civil government there ns administered by Governor Wright. The mystery of his mission and tho urgency with which It its un dertaken aro gradually being revealed. Harly action of a remedial character Is necessary to prevent tho government from In-coining bankrupt through short ago of revenue receipts. Governor Wright has not made pro gress in dealing with tho Filipino. Ho has asked them to obey the laws and let it go nt thnt. Ho has not sought to harmonise differences and so cure their co:ocrntloii. As n result, the Filipinos aro now refusing to pay taxes. They know- nothing nlwut land and revenue taxes until American rule wns made effective. Taft succwdod In Inducing tho natives to pay these taxes. Under Wright they refused payment. It is impossible to sell thu laud for do lluquent taxes. Tho decrease In Philippine revenue has Ih-cii no great that nothing but bond rates has prevented n collapse of tho government. Thu money derived front milling bonds nnd certlflcaU-s of Indebt edness has furnished sufficient funds to maintain affairs up to this time, but tho sums Ixirrowcd must eventually lw repaid, and thu situation has grown serious. Mr. Taft has gone to determine what can Imi done to develop revenues nud to placo tho government on n safe flnaneial hauls, Mr. Taft also desires to confer with Governor Wright on tho friar Inud question. The entire matter was ad Justed after tedious delllxjralloni, and an arrangement reached satisfactory to the president and Mr. Taft. Thu titles were defective, and it was agreed to havo new transfers made. Governor Wright wns asked for his approval nnd refuted to give it. It Is considered Imperative thnt this troublesome question should tx) settled. TO MAKE ISTHMUS HEALTHY Shon't Telli How Commission Will Care for Employes.

ATTACKS INDICTMENT. Thurston Sayi It li fmpoiilble to Convict Mitchell. Portland, July 1. HUH nnotherday has pasi.l nnd thu last word is yet to bo spoken In behalf of Kemitor Mitch ell. It was fully expected that when ox-Benator Thurston began yesterday morning that ho would conclude Ills argument in tho afternoon, but bo was yet half mi hour nwny from his con cluding remarks, when Judge Do Hnvou adjourned tho court until 10 o'clock this morning, This means that tho case will not go to tho Jury l)eforo InUt this evening, If then, for United States District Attorney Honey must answer tho arguments mado by both of Senator Mitchell's attorneys. When tho speaker laid nsldo his nil logistic tribute to tho senator, when he had given his nudienco a glimpse of tho living room of Senator Mltcholl in Washington, n room which ho said con tallied a bod and a trunk; when ho told of tho love, veneration and honor in which he hold tho defendant nnd turned tho floodgates of his oratory nnd legal shrowdners uton tho Indlctmcrit under which Senator Mitchell is being tried, then ho became tho lawyer and pleader. Listening members of tho bench and bar who llste.t'-d to this argument mar veled attbo adroitness with which this document was attacked. It was dona with such skill and cleverness, for each count whs taken up and riddled nnd scoffed nt thnt now tho government must make answer. Tho nttack uon tho indictment fol lowed tho lines of tho nrgutnent that ex-Senntor Thurston hod mado beforo Judge Do Haven. Ho stated that tho indictment held that Senator Mitchell had received money from Kribs, and tie showed by tho testimony of both Kribs and Tanner, that Kribs had never paid money to tho defendant. Tho speaker held that before tho government could make this count In tho indictment stick, It must provo that Senator Mitch ell had received his payment either In gold, silver or currency. Ho cited that tho Supreme court hod hold that a check was not money, and contended that when Tanner deposited tho Kribs checks, thoo checks were purchased by thu bank, was their proiwrty to burn or tear up if thoy wished. Tho money that tho senator received as his share of tho monthly receipts of tho firm's business, no matter if that share con tained n part of tho Kribs' payment, could not 1m) construed ns having been paid to Senator Mltcholl by Kribs.

Fifty years ago "The Great North west" wns n howling wilderness, peo pled only by a fow Indians nnd a handful of trappers and French-Canadian trnders; fifty years ago this vast region had not been surveyed, and cer tain sections of it had not even ben explored, but to-dsy behold bow differ ent Is its aspect! Thcra Is not n corner of It thnt has not been penetrated by civilized be- CAflTOL or UI.NXUOTA. Ings; there is not an acre of It that has not been charted. A dozen States bnve been enrved out of It and the borders of tho brush and timber lands are rapidly receding before tho woodman with his nx nnd the farmer with bis plow. In tho near future there will not bo left a slnglo aero of unproduct ive land, for the gigantic projects of Irrigation thnt tho Federal Govern ment Is undertaking will, within tho next deende. transform every arid area Into a flourishing garden. This grent Northwest territory com prises fully one-sixth of the entire area of the United States and is now peo pled with 0,000,000 Anterlcnns who nre engaged In various Industries, the an nual output from which aggregates, In vnlue, millions of dollars. If there Is one thing moro than an other that has fostered this marvelous development. It Is tho modern rail road. In the great Northwest thero nro over W),000 miles of rallwny track and the capital that Is represented by tho operating plants of nil of the rall wny companies serving tho people of this territory amounts. In round num bers, to over $2,500,000,000. It Is marvelous that such a transfor mation of n wlldorness Into a flourish lug home of civilize-.! twlnga could bo effected within the short span of one human life; yet tho progress mado during tho last decade is still more re- markablo nnd tho most reliable Indica tion of tho Increasing wealth of this section of tho United States Is the erection of some of the finest public buildings to bo seen anywhere on tho American continent. The expenditure Involved In tho erection of State cnpltols alono counts upward of $25,000,000. Tho Stnto of Montana, with u populntlon of but 243,400, has Just completed n commo dious, new Stnto llouso thnt cost In the neighborhood of n quarter of n million; South Dnkotn Is contemplat ing Uio expenditure of several thou sand dollars In enlarging nnd embel lishing Its present legtslatlvo hall, nnd Its twitt Stnto to the north hns already appropriated n million dollars for tho erection of n beautiful now cnpltol to replace tho rnmslntcklo frnnio struc ture that is now used ns a Stnto House; Wisconsin hns recently ap proved designs for u now cnpltol thnt calls for tho expenditure of $10,000,- 000; Iowa hns spent n vnst sum to re build her present structure thnt wns partially destroyed by flro; and Min nesota hns Just dedicated n $5,000,000 mnrblo pnlnco to the mo of the people lit ninny respects this latter struc ture. Is tho most remarkable in tho United States, nud to tho tourist trav eler, who comes to St Paul In tho futuro, It will bo a source of pleasure nnd Inspiration. When Glenn Hrown, tho socrctnry of tho American Institute of Archi tects, of Washington, D. a, visited the now cnpltol of Minnesota, ho declared It to bo tho finest structure hi Amer ica, to-day with tho exception of tl(p national cnpltol nt WjTghlugton, Ngt so much money ban boon' spent ou It ns has been spent upon similar build ings else where; but, in Mr. Hrown'u opinion, the artistic effect of tlie struc ture la unsurpassed. The predominating feature of tho building Is the msstir marble domo, tho largest In the United States. Un til Its completion tho domo of tho Ithode Island Stnto House nt Provi dence held tho distinction of being tho greatest. The dome of the capital at Washington Is very much larger, but thnt U made of cast Iron, painted white. The domes of St Peter of Home nnd St Paul's of Imdon. like wise, nro larger, but neither of them Is constructed of marble. The Interior finishings of tho build ing nro magnificent Marbles from a!- I most every well-known quarry In tho world were Imported for use In tho grand balls nnd legtalatlro rooms, nnd beautifully carved woods for the ex ecutive offlces. To sea such evidences of art and cul ture In a country thnt but a short while ago, was considered a barbarous fron tier, Is the most satisfying thing that can happen to n man who has faith In the great destiny of the United States as the leader of nations.

The bswball fan, or, more correct ly speaking, tho baseball player, will hall tho advent of the non-breakabls bat that baa made its appearance. This most doslrable and hitherto unknown attribute of a baseball bat U attained by cutting a spiral groove In the wood and Inserting therein, flush with tbs surface of the bat somo strengthen ing material, such as steel wire or steel tape or sinew. The spiral Is mads continuous from a point Just above the handle, so as not to Interfere with a good, comfortable grip, to a point Just below whero the ball ordinarily BTEXL WIHE OX THE BAT. strikes. Care baa to b exercised, of course, In fastening the ends of the strengthening mntvrlal wound In the groove to prevent Uio development of we.tK spots, particularly nt Uio handle extremity. Tho groove, of course, Is not largo enough to detract npprecla bly from tho normal strength of the wood of tho particular section used. They 1)1(1 Not Hnvo To.
