LONDON, May SI, Those in touch with
royal circles are busy gossiping about the
reported tiff between Lord Salisbury and
King Edward, which is said to have arisen
on account of the king's demand that the
premier recommend Sir Ernest Cassel for
peerage. ' Last year the same request
met with a refusal. This year It was
again urged1 by the king on the ground of
Sir Ernest's munificent gift of' 200,000 to
ward the cure of -consumption.
The premier absolutely refused to coun
tenance the suggestion, and at the end of a
stormy Interview which occurred the day
the state dinner waa held at Buckingham
palace Lord Salisbury remarked:
"Well, sir. t suppose I had better leave
my place at tonlght'a banquet vacant?" to
which the king -Is said to have- replied:
"Yes, I think you had," and stalked out of
the room. Since' then, according to court
gossip. King Edward and bis aged prime
minister ' have scarcely been' on speaking
terms. "
Another Incident which' Is causing con
siderable commotion In royal circles Is the
disagreement between King Edward and
the durhess of Buccleurh, member ot the
old-style, exclusive aristocracy, who has
not countenanced the so-called "smart
set." The king waa to dine with the
duke, arid- duchess- of Buceleuch and In
timated his desire that a lady of his sur
rounding be Invited. - This Is uaually tan
tamount to a command, but the duchess
of fcuocleurh, nothing, daunted, refused
point blank-'to ak the king's friend to
make one of the dinner jarty.
His majesty -was furious and threaten!
to .cancel his promise to dine with the
Buccleuchs, whereat the duehess ot Buc
eleuch retorted that she was quite willing
to aend her resignation aa mistress' of the
robes to Queen Alexandra. Later in the
day the 'king thought better. ot It. 'Informed
the Buccleugtts that he accepted the ex
clusion ot hla favorite, and forbade the
duchess to resign.
Many members of the nobility, especially
old country families, make no secrei ot
their disapproval ot various events In the

TAFT IDOL OF FILIPINOS
American Governor General's System Give
Tbem More Liberty Than Aguinaldo,
LATTER'S SECRETARY OF STATE TALKS
Declares His People Are Not Prepared
(or Self-Government, bnt Meed
Tutelage o( the lotted
States.
WASHINGTON, May 31. Felipe Buen-
camino, former secretary of state In the
cabinet of Agulnaldo, was heard today for
the first time since hit arrival by the bouse
committee on Insular affairs.
Senor Buencamlno said he waa here rep
resenting the federal party and the Influ
ential element of the Insurgents and the
Kattpunan socloty.
He said his country, the Philippines, was
like a sick man convalescing from a dan
gerous illness. It waa still bleeding from
the wounds of war. Its aspirations were
those of Washington liberty wtth justice
under American sovereignty, which they
loved. They looked to congress to give
tbem a Just and liberal government. He
detailed the facts connected with the early
uprising of the Filipinos.
Agulnaldo was an Idol and the people
believed him when he told them that
Dewey had promised therd Independence.
Ho reviewed all that had been done since
the outbreak and spoke of the gradual ex
tension ot American authority and prac
tical pacification ot the greater part of the
Islands.
There were now 800 municipalities es-
tabllshed and they had proved satisfac
tory. Under the Taft system he said the
Filipinos have greater liberty than they
would have enjoyed under the Agulnaldo
government had it been established. Gov
ernor Taft was now the Idol of the people.
Want to Know What Ther Are.
"We would like to know what we are."
he said with emphasis. "Are we Amer
icans or are we Filipinos? This Is the ques
tion Impressed upon me by the federal
party and by the Filipino people."
He approved the plan of a legislative as
sembly of the Filipino people.
"But." said he, "do not call It a Filipino
assembly; let the members meet aa Amer
icans and let the assembly be American."
"If we are to be American cltlxens," be
proceeded, "It win be a great achievement.
Our desire la to secure a just and liberal
government. It congress does not grant
citizenship It has that right, but It would be
responsible for the future, for we have
submitted unconditionally to the will ot con
gress." Representative Jones of Virginia called
attention to the fact that Blxto Lopes dif
fered with Buencamlno and said the
minority wanted to have Lopex summoned.
Several republicans protested because
Lopes Bad not been In the Philippines in
recent years.
There was some discussion between the
members of the committee ot a warm char
acter. "I did not think it would so offend the
minority to have this witness exonerate
American troops," said Chairman Cooper.
"I resent that Insinuation," said Mr. Wil
liams of Mississippi.
"And his remark is not In accordance
with facts," aald Mr. Patterson ot Tenn
essee.
Good School System.
Senor Buencamlno spoke ot the many
schools and the Improved educational meth
ods, the Filipino families no longer find
ing it necessary to send their children to
Manila, as the local schools' were ample.
Instead of 1,200 American teachers, he said,
there should be 6,000 and the salaries should
bo doubled In order to secure the best ma-
terlul. Speaking of education, be said the
hostility of the friars to the American gov
ernment was evident. He stated that S5
per cent ot the people are Illiterate and
cannot read or write.
"Are the people capable at this time ot
Independent government?"
"It would not be advisable," be said, turn
lng to the map of the archipelago. Russia
was near at hand, at Port Arthur; Japan
waa also near; Australia and other British
possessions were nearby. Besides be said
Great Britain and Germany had on file at
the American State department large claims
for damages, growing out of the bombard
ment of Illollo.
"Suppose the United States abandons us,"
he said, "then all those claims will be pre
sented against the Philippines, backed up
by squadrons."
Doubts Nebraska Boy.
Mr. Jones of Virginia questioned the wit
ness at length as to the responsibility for
the original outbreak. Preparations for war
were begun by Agulnaldo as early aa Octo
ber, 1893, the witness said. He gave tbo
conflicting claims as to who fired the first
shot and expressed doubt as to the claim
ot a Nebraska soldier that he had fired the
first shot.
Asked If the Filipinos, after three or four
years of American tutelage, could stand
alone, Senor Buencamlno said they would
be able by that time to determine whether
they wanted annexation to the United States
or independence. The federal party to
which he belonged, opposed the holding
of the Philippines aa an American colony.
About 15 per cent of the people, bo
said, favored a colonial government.
He said American troops could be wtth
drawn ultimately, except from the Moro
country, where they would have to remain
for a long time.
Mr. Patterson brought out that Buen
camlno had served as private secretary
to General MacArthur, but he denied hav
ing betrayed Philippine secrets to that
officer.
At another point the witness said the
Filipinos wanted the "constitution to fol
low the flag." They also wanted liberty
with Justice and believed the American
system gave this blessing.
"Would . the Filipinos take Independence
after eight years of tutelage by the United
States?" asked Mr. Patterson, referring to
the plan ot tbo minority.
"If the congress so determined that re
suit would be accepted," answered the wit-
neaa, "but congress would become reepon
slble if the Philippines were devoured by
other nations and the Filipinos would be
left to damn the congress for bringing about
such a result."
He contended that annexation waa the
solution satisfactory to the people.
The witness said the Moros would fight
to the death to retain their slaves.
REDUCTION IN THE ARMY
General Order Decreasing Strength t
66.4D7, Issaed by Secre
tary Boot.
WASHINGTON,. May 31. By direction of
tho president. Secretary Root has Issued
a general order decreasing the strength ot
our permanent military establishment and
changing the ratio ot its makeup as pro
vided in the general order Issued laat May
to carry out the army reorganization law.
Under the general order of last May the
total strength of the army was fixed at
T7.287 men. The order Issued today re
ducca this figure to 66,497 a reduction of
k this
the ca
10.70
In the cavalry branch of the service the
old 4rder specified twelve troops of eighty-
fl Tel me a each to a regimeut: the sew or-
der establishes twelve troops of seventy
five men each. Tbla will decrease the total
strength ot the-fifteen' cavalry-regiments
from 16.840 to 14,040.
In the artillery branch the cosst con
tingent will be kept at Its former strength
of 126 companies ot 109 enlisted men each,
or a total of 13,734, but the field artillery
will be reduced from thirty batteries ot
ISO men each to twenty-eiaht batteries
(twenty-five light and three mounted) ot
120 men each.
Provision Is made In the new order for
two siege batteries, each with a Strength
ot 160 men. which, in addition to the light
and mounted batteries, will give the ar
tillery cor"ps a total enlisted strength ot
17.742, as against the 18,862 men provided
In the former order. The new order re
duces tho number of men In Infantry com
panies from 104 to eighty, and our thirty
regiments of twelve companies each will
now give a total Infantry force of 29,830,
Instead of 38,520. The strength of the en
gineer branch remains as formerly, as does
also the strength of the staff departments.
It will be the plan of the War depart
ment hereafter to divide the army, as pro.
vided In the order Issued today. Into thirds,
having one-third of the entire establish,
ment In the Philippines at all times and the
remaining two-thirds In the United States
and elsewhere. By this plan an enlisted
man, taking six years as a basis, would
serve four years- In the United States
proper, or in Hawaii or In Alaska, to every
two years served in the Philippines.

the Philippines, today continued his test!
mony before the senate Philippine commit
tee.
He said he knew that one village had

SUMMER COMFORT
Get needy For Warm Weather.
By a complete change In breakfast, at
this time of the' year, one can put the
body right to go through the summer com
fortably. Leave off meat, potatoes and heavy body
heating foods, and use the food that will
nourish the body and give reserve- force
to tbe brain and nervous system.
A most appetizing and healthful break
fast can be made on Grape-Nuts and cream,
some fruit and perhaps two soft boiled
eggs this meal will furnish full strength
and nourishment up to the next and has a
remarkable effect on the body during hot
weather. Remember the cells of the body
you are now building will last you Into
summer, so be sure and build the kind that
tend to keep a cool body and level head.
One pound of Grape-Nuts bu more
nourishment that the system will absorb
than ten pounds ot meat, without any of the
internal heat of meat that a person wishes
to avoid during the warm season; Its rich,
nutty flavor added to tbe delicate sweet of
tbe grape augar makes a dish pleating to
the most critical taste.
You receive Grape-Nuts from tbe grocer
ready to aerve, as It has been thoroughly
cooked at the factory by food experts, and
this savea best from cooking and time and
exertion necessary In preparing ordinary
food.
A change from the old breakfast to ope
like this will refresh and Invigorate the
system la a surprising manner and permit
you to enjoy the pleaaures ot summer in a
cool, comfortable fashion when your neigh
bors, differently ted, will be "hot."

CHICAGO, May 31. The teamsters strike
today spread to the department stores.
Eighty-nine men working for the Fair
struck and It waa stated that 600 more
men, etnrloyed by other big downtown
stores, would be out by tonight. The
effect, It was said, would be practically
to shut off the delivery of gooda to cus
tomers and the bringing In of new stock.
The department store teamsters' union
was recently formed and la affiliated with
the national organization of the same foot
ing as the one at the stockyards. The
men make the same demand as do the
packers' teamsters, for better hours, higher
wagea and recognition ot the union.
Police were called to guard the Fair.
Jacob Kessner,' the manager ot the estab
lishment, attempted to address tbe team
sters this morning. Their business agent,
however, told Mr. Kessner that he would
have to talk to the men s agent, but he
could not talk to the men.
"I don't recognise you," aald Mr. Kess
ner. At this the business agent blew the
whistle and the teamsters to a man quit
work, leaving a large guard ot pickets,
however, to look after their Interests.
Crisis Kapected on Monday.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., May 81. There la
every realon to believe that the pump run
ners will respond with practical unanimity
next Monday to President Mitchell's order
to strike, unless granted an eight-hour
work day and other conditions prescribed
by the Shamokln convention.
That the operators do not propose to
yield is evidenced by the big fences and
barbed wire which they have placed around
tbe collieries. Hundreds of extra coal and
Iron policemen have been employed, armed
principally with revolvers.
PITTSTON, Pa., May 31. The Erie Rail
road company today brought a tralnload of
cots, bedding and provisions here and dis
tributed them at the varloua collieries

WARM FIGHT FOR OREGON
Most Exciting State Election In Years
, Is Promised . at Polls
Tomorrow.
PORTLAND, Ore., May 31. The biennial
election in Oregon, which will occur Mon
day, promises to be the most exciting In
the history of the state. The democrats
have made their campaign almost entirely
on state Issues, while tbe republicans have
laid great stress on" national expansion
and the retention of the Island possessions.
The factional fight among the republicans
of Multonomah county, a republican strong
hold, will undoubtedly greatly reduce the
republican majority In the state, if. Indeed,
it does not wipe it out entirely as far aa
the head of the ticket Is concerned. V -
The democrats have little hope of elect
ing their ticket, with the exception of
George E. Chamberlain tor governor. Tbe
ropubllcana, however, say that reports of
disaffection In the. party are exaggerated
and that there Is no doubt of tbe election
of W. J. Furnish for governor.
