The people who are criticising the fact that tho admiui.-tration has seen fit to make a treaty with the reigning head of the Sulu governmentby which the details of the government of his people are administered by him, over look the fact that this system has been, after long experiment, adopted by the moot successful colonizing countries of tho world. England places very much of the detail of the management of affaire in India in the bands of native princes, payine them sa'.ari.-s. The whoso colonial Dutch government, management of the Dutch East Indies has been next in success to that of Great Dritain, also places very much of the detail of the management in the hands of native chiefs and their subordinates through ihem; while those nations which have been least successful in colonial man- ajrement are the ones wnicn nave ignored and refused to co-operate with the most intelligent of the people of the countries over which they have assumed control. Governor Poynter was awfully anxious to get the boys of the First Nebraska into a meeting and tell them how ho had been utauiling up for thorn, eayn I ho Opinion. To bring thin about he had an exclusive popo cratlc program arrangod at the expo sition ground tho day the boys reached Omaha. A big brass bind was there to attract the crowd. Poyntor and his tin brigade of colonels occupied the front of tho stage, dreHaod in "uniforms and flowing gilt braid. The "colonel" who operates the liquor au3 gambling business at Om tho t it on one side of the governor, while the 'colonel" who issues health certifi cates to the cit zens of the Omaha bd lands, and the other one who operates the chattel mortgage business at ten per cent a month, they w re occupy ing chtir next to the liquor man. Tho other members of the "tafT" w.'re on h-nd, but the soldier boys failed to respond to tho occasion. After much coaxing and band pi ying just twenty three fOldier boys were induced to enter the hall. This did not suit the governor and his "staff," and after ten minutes of speaking tho precious crowd sneaked out of tno hall. It was a foolish idea to try to work the '"buys" of the Fighting First. INFORMATION AMU Ul'IMON, Two Dolgiam Roman Catholic priests recently decided to visit some friends in Kngland. But being dili geut students of the Knglish press they conceived the idea that to pass th rough any part of England during thefo anti Ritualistic days would bo perilous to life and limb. They there fore disguised themselves as laymen, with straw hats and light check tweed suits and in this garb presented them selves to their astonished hosts. "Every ship in the North Atlantic squadron," says the Philadelphia Record, "can boast of a ball nine, and these different nines have formed a league known as the North Atlantic league. At every opportunity match games are played, and there is great rivalry shown to gain the champion ship of the league. Up to last week the nine representing the New Yoru were in the lead, but the Massachu setts held them a safe scond. Just prior to the departure of the squadron for Philadelphia a series of games was played aud the Massachusetts' men fo.ged ahead. Tho latter expect to stay at the head for the balance of tho season, thereby winning the champion ship, but the nine of the New York declare that it will be plain sailing for them after a few more games shall have boen played." Tho su'tan o'clock every of Turkey rise! t morning, and c 6T0 his days, in the seclusion of the Yild palace and gardens, to personal . ten tion to u tT iirs of state. He is of s feht figure. A pale brown overcoat uuu ceals any decorations he might bo wearing, so that the attention of those who see him on the one day in seven when he presents himself to the view of ihe people is not diverted from his pile, wan and care-worn face, half covered by a thin brown beard, tinged with gray, and surmounted by a plain red fez. The sultan hs been the means of establishing 50.000 schools throughout his empire, not only for boys, but for girls also a striking de parture from the traditional u-ago of his race.

Tho pigs were silver from the Argentine smelter and worth on the market $750 apiece. The truck's seem- ing'y deserted and carcles load was worth $7,4GS.60. It is in this shape silver is shipped.

The annual meeting of the trustees of Shakespeare's birthplace was held the other daj- at Stratford-on-Avon The committea reported that during the year more than 34,000 persons had paid lor admission to Shakespeare's house, representing thirty-five dif ferent nationalities and more than 10,- C00 had visited Anne llathawav's cot tage at Shottcry. Whtn the German emperor was at school at Cassel, he and his brother, Prince Henry, lodged in an old castle near, but in the school the two boys were treated axactly like any other youngsters. On one occasion, it is re lated, a master knowing that prince William was backward in Greek, and wishing to curry favor with him, told him secretly what the subject cf the next aay s examination would be. Early next morning the prince went into the classroom and wrote the in formation on the blackboard in huge letter?, not wishing to have any unfair advantage ovor his schoolfellows.

' The nut sell9 on an average at about eight cents per pound. If only twenty-seven trees are planted on ah acre the income would be about $675. The German emperor likes to 3tudy the characters of his group of small son?, and to that end has given them a room next to the one used for busi ness purposes for himself. A certain groat scientific man, having on one occasion an interview with tho em peror, left hi hat in the adjoining vestlbulo.

WAsniNOTON, Sept. 15. It is -.aid at the wur deuartment that the return of the two members of the Philippine commission remaining in Manila, Messrs. Denoy and Worcester, has been ordered that they may advise the president resDectine- the vorv latest aspect f affairs, so he may use j the information in his mossa?e to con- gress. There is an intimation conveyed that the advices b-ouurhl by President Schurman and S-jnator Beveridjre and other persons recently returned from Manila are not at all points in strict accord, though the items of diverg ence are not known beyond the White House. It is said that aa Admiral Dewey is nearing tho United States the opportunity to have a full meeting of the Philippine commission, of which he is a member, should not be lost, and the report that may bo ex pected to sum up their work will be indispensable to congress in its efforts at legislation for the islands. No statement can be had officially as to the future of the commission, but it is not regarded as probable that it will return to the islands, at least not without a considerable change in per sonnel. The recall of Messrs. Denby and Worcestt r will leave General OAs the sole representative of the commis siun in the Philippine. Demand Absolute Freedom. NEW OKK, Sept. 15. A special to the World from Ithaca. N. Y., says: Your correspondent is able to say on authority that tue beburman peace commission offered every possible in ducement short of absoluto self-gov erument to Aguinaldo and his follow ers. Aguinaldo was promised, as the price for the restoration of peace in the Tagaios tribe, a bonus of more thtm $j,000 a jear while the Tagaios remained peaceful. He was told that he could choose men from his irible for the minor municipal offices. ihe commission went so fur as to p-omise Aguinaldo the moral support of the United States government, if such were needed, to make his leader ship of the Tagaios thoroughly secure. With all thes.o inducements, tempt ing as they must have been, Aguinaldo, as the recognized bead of the insur gent movement, declined to yield. He insisted upon self govrenment and as his insistence was so firm as to make an agreement impossible, the Ameri can commissionet s ceased negotia tion s. President Schurman was frank in telling your corr espondent a day or so ago that he favored giving to the vari ous tribes the largest possible meas ure of home rule at the earliest pos sible moment. He thought the sev eral tribes could administer their lo cal affairs, oiect their muncipal offi ces, establish courts and penal institu tions, a judiciary, et3., but he did not believe it possible to allow the natives to participate in the general govern ment. "How could" they govern the islands in view of the heterogeneity and tuul- iplicity of tne tribes?" he asked. Short of Staff Officer. Washington, Sept. 15. General Otis ban cabled tha war depr ment a request for additional staff officers for service in the Philippines. He asks for one additional judge advoc te gen eral, two assistant adjutant geuerals, two inspector general, eight quarter masters, nine commissaries of subsls tence and two engineer office'rs The adjutant general bas called upon tne heads of these bureaus to designate officers for this duty, as the importance of having all the officers of the staff asked for before the next ac tive campaign begins is recognized by the department. Supplies Cheap In Manila. WASniNOTON, Sept. 15. Commis sary General Weston says the soldier of the Colorado regiment who has found so much to criticise at Manila evidently was misinformed about the exorbitant prices being paid for sup plies in the Philippines. Sugar is bought about 40 per cent choaper than in the United States; rice is 50 per cent cheaper and a considerable re duction is found in the prices of beef purchased in .Australia and the pre vailing prices in Chicago. The gov ernment eavea transportation on these articles. As to other articles, which are a part of the commissary stores bought by the department and sold to the officers and men at cost price. General Wes ton says there is no possibility of loss to tho government upon them. The commissary department does not buy wine, except for the hospitals. These are purchased upon the recommenda tion of the surgeons and the money for them comes out of the 40 cents a day allowed to each soldier in the hos pital.
