"And you.ajso have .a large .clerical fores?"-" .! , "Tog would, tblnk so If you should step Into our offices, you would also get an Idea t tbs necessity for such a force." "Whst other allowances are made?" . "None, except that I sm allowed, as gov ernor, to live la tbs Malaranan, tbs old governor general's palace." "Is It an salens! ve place?" "Rather. - It coats ni $125 In gold per month taJigbt It snd I pay $1,000 a year out of my own .pocket for servant blrs.

There Is much entertaining necesssry snd ' 1 the cdet of everything 1 greater than In .Washington. ' Indeed, money goes so tsit there that It seems to melt. There are no perquisites or allowances other tban those I have mentioned.": Tbs governor added that the commission had had nothing to do with fixing tbs salaries of their own members, tbst bsving been done In Washington, but bs ssld tbst It was Impossible to seeure the services of competent men To responsible positions without psylng better .salaries than sre paid her. ,"! i- v Detor Csrmsck reverted to soms ot Governor Tsft's former testimony to ths effect that the Filipinos ars not Industrious and asked whether this condition would render necesssry the Importation of Chi nese. Governor Taft ssld thst It wss to be profoundly hoped that this would not prove to be the esse. In general, bo thought' thst the effect of the admission ot tbs Chinees would be to monopolise nesrly all ths avenues. k trsde, but It wss mors difficult to say what the' effect would bs on the Isbor of ths Islands. "Has ths commission over recommended the admission ot the Chinese?" ssksd Sen ator Lodge. The reply was in ths negative. Senator Csrmack ssked whst would bs the effect ot expressions of utter contempt for the Filipinos by republican orators snd referred to a speech, which, he ssld, hsd been msds by a United States senstor, placing the natlvs Filipinos on a level In tellectually with Caribou bulls. i'lllplnas a Sensitive People. "Ths Filipinos are a ssnsltvs people," he ssld. "and resent sny Impeachment ot their Intelligence. They do not like to bs characterised ss savages." ' "Or bulls," Interjected Mr. Csrmsck. "Ntf-is bulls," assented Governor Taft. In tbls connection Senator Lodge asked as to the effect of utterances calculated to encourage the Filipinos to resist tbo au thority of ths United States, to which the reply waa: r "Such utterances -are a great obstacle to ths success of our efforts." " 8enator Pstterson msds sn Inquiry as to tbs effect of Senator Hosr's rscent spsscb in tbs senstc. "Thst speech," he ssld, "wss full of sympathy for ths Filipinos. "If circulated In ths Phlllpplns Islands would It not subject Its author to arrest snd Imprisonment?" Oovernor Tsft, begged to be excused from, replying to the question st tbls Urns. There wss mors or less discussion as to ths presence of Amsrlcsa troops In ths Islsnds snd Kenstor Lodge drew from Gov ernor Tsft ths explanation tbst tbs military fores of tbs United States bad been re duced from 71.000 to 41,000 troops. The governor added that he had been Informed by the secretary of war that It wss tbs In tention to rsducs tbs fores In tbo Imme diate future to SO.OOO. "Was It ths wltbdrswsl of tbs troops tbst produced trouble?" ssksd Mr. Lodge. "On the contrary," replied Governor Taft, Vln the padded provinces ths effect baa been to Increass tranquility."

SETS ASIDE ACTION OF SHAFTER'S COURT gays Officers of the Becalar Araay, Sitting? as Court-Martial, Caaaot Legally Trr Volunteer Soldiers. ST. LOUIS. Feb. 10. Established prece dents of the United Btstes srmy were overthrown snd the freedom of nearly 200 men now confined In federal penitentiaries was assured by a decision rendered by ths United States circuit court of appeals today In tbo case of Peter C. Doming, a ter mer captain of United Slates volunteers, against Robert W. McClaughrey, wsrden of the federal penlntentlary at Fort Leaven worth. Doming was Imprisoned In sen tence of a court-martial composed of nine regular army officers, convened by General W. R. Shatter on March 29. 1900. -Tbs opinion of the circuit court, written by Judge Waltsr H. Sanborn, Is thst tbs court-msrtlsl which sentenced Uemtng acted In violation of srtlcls 77 ot the artlclss of wsr, which provides tbst officers of the regulsr srmy shall not bs competent to alt on court-msrtlsl for tbs trial of officers snd soldiers of other forces. The essential question,' as stated In Judge Sanborn's opinion. Is whether the volunteer srmy la ths same as the regular army or whether It Is ons of tbo "other forces" mentioned In article 77. The opinion as tsbllsbes ths fsct tbst ths volunteer srmy Is at all times distinct from the regulsr srmy. Demlng will be released from the Fort Lesenworth penitentiary within sixty days snd sll former members of tbe volun teer srmy who sro confined In federal pris ons on sentences Inflicted by courts-martial of regular officers will slso be liberated as ths result of todsy's decision. B. A. Roster, United Btstes district at torney, sstlmstes the number of such esses at 200. Demlng was a captain In tbs sub sist snee department of tbe volunteer army. Hs was commissioned under the set of 1899, providing for tbs enlistment of soldiers for ths Phlllpplns wsr. Tbs chsrge against him related to his accounts. Ths court-martial, compossd of nlns offi cers of ths regular army, dismissed Demlng from ths service snd sentenced him to three yssrs In ths penttentlsry. This sen tence wss affirmed by the secretary of war and approved by the president. In June. 1898. Judge Advocste General Lleber decided that regular army officers might try volunteers under tbe set of 183S, providing for tbs enlistment of soldiers for tbe Spsninh wsr. Under tbls ruling msny esses wcro tried snd sentences . imposed. The Demiug esse was ths first In which sn sppeal was tsken. In bis opinion, Judgs Banborn ssys thst General Shatter ' wss prohibited by tbe lsw of ths United States from constituting the Demlng court msrtlal of regulsr srmy officers, snd thst tbs sc tlon of tbe trlbunsl Is void.

In all the sea sons of their lives, aaroaidgor wives or mothers, that the one 8linplev wholesome remedy which acts irently and pleasantly and naturally, and which may be used with tmly bmficlal effects, under any conditions, when the system needs a laxative li Syrup of Fhrs. It Is well known to bo a simple com bination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing; to the taste and acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansliijr Is desired. Many of the ills from which women suffer are of a transient nature and do not come from any organic trouble and it Is pleasant to know that they yield 3 promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrnp of Furs, bnt when anything more than a laxative is needed It is best to consult the family physician and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nos trums of the present day. When one needs only to -remove the strain, the -torpor, the congestion, or, similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condi tion of the system, use the true and (rent le remedy Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the depres sion, the aches and palna, eoids and. headaches, which are due to Inactivity of the. bowels. Only those who buy the genuine. Syrup of FIga can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guar antee of the excellence of the remedy the full name of the company California Fig Syrup Co. Is printed on the front of every package and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs ts fraud ulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup,, of Figs la called for, Is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor Imitation remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all reliable druggists everywhere at 50 ccntg per bottle. , AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Isms Parties Will Ksainti Csniidatsi for Po'iss Csirt Jsdf e.

Tbe old Custom provided that a police Judge wss elected along' with the mayor, coubcllmen and other city officials. In November. 1899, Judge King, democrat, and Judge Bsbcock, repub-, llcsn, contested for the election, although Babcock wss st thst time police Judge. Lsst fall Judge King ran sgslnst Charles Alt stsdt and was elected. Now some attor neys sssert tbst Judgs King has no right to adjust Judlclsl matters In South Omaha for tbe reason that be was elected at a fall Instead of a spring election. Tbs labor party has tsken the Initiative and announoed In Its csll for a csucus tbst a candidate tor police Judge would be elected.
