The stockmen of the United States have over M.OUO.iKiO.UOO work- Ins capital. If forced to do so. you can build pucklng plants of your own, kill your own stock, market the product and under sell any packing house trust. We have men outside thia "charmed circle" who have money, brains and energy, and with these three they- also have hearts left in their physical anatomy.

GENERAL WOOD GOES TO MANILA SOON Maay Chaages Ki pee ted la Army Offl- In Paelle,' laeladlsjaT Bates Klevatloa te apreaaa Com. maa ta flaeceeal Davis. WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. After mature consideration It has been decided by the president that Judge Taft aha 11 re main in the Philippines as civil gov ernor. The decision was reached only after the president had discussed the question thoroughly with Secretary Root and the other members ot his cabinet and with Vice Governor Luke B. Wright. For several weeks It had been practically settled that Governor ' Taft would return to this country to become a justice ot the United 8tates supreme court. Ae soon as It was learned that Governor Taft was likely to leave, cabled protests began to pour In on the president from prominent Filipinos. Every day he was rged to retain Governor Taft as civil gov ernor, It being pointed out that Oovernor Taft was Ideally equipped for the position of governor and that any change would be disastrous to the best Interests ot the arch ipelago. It was maintained that Governor Taft's relinquishment 'of his post would re- ard the development of the Islands fully five years. ' Today, In response to the president's leU ter offering him the supreme justiceship, a cable was received from Governor Taft sug gesting, with a sincere appreciation of tha offer, that It might be better for him to remain where he was. After this It was announced unofficially, bat entirely author itatively, that he would remain Indefinitely as civil governor of the Philippines. Dur ing the afternoon Secretary Root had a long conference with the. president, at which the question was canvassed in all Its phases. Many serious problems are yet to be solved with respect to the Islands, and the admlnlstrstlon Is Icoklng to Oov ernor Taft to reach such a solution a will be satisfactory. Wood Wants Philippine Service, Brigadier General Wood has applied for service la the Philippines and his request has been granted. It le expected he will be assigned In Mindanao. He will become e, major general In August and It Is quite likely that he will soon thereafter be as signed to command the Division ot the Philippines. It Is expected he will sail in April. A number ot Important army changes will occur soon in the Philippines, tne cmei of which will be the assignment of General Wads, now commanding a department In the Philippines, to the supreme command In the Islands, to succeed Major General Davis, who will retire for age July 26 next. General Wade, who is now ft brigadier, will be made a major general on the re tirement of Major : General Robert -P. Hughes April 11 next.'-'. Generals Davis, Sumner and Baldwin will be relieved from duty during the summer and General Wood, wither General Carter or General Bliss of th war college board, possibly both, and Colonel Francis Moore, of the Eleventh cavalry, will be assigned to the command of departments there. Colonel Moore, who Is now in that country, will be made a brigadier general shortly. The purpose of the War department Is te have' a ' major general' and six brigadier general on 'dutf 'Wthe Philippines for some time to fjotftetar .Other, changes will be made in the relief o officers who have served there a long" time., ' Filipinos Will Not Work. The secretary of war today sent to the house an additional estimate of 1250,000 for barracks and quarter n the Philippines. General Davis, commanding the troops in the archipelago. In explaining the need of an Increased appropriation, says: ' The natives, have discovered that there Is no authority tha't Can compel them to work 'unless they wish to, while during the Spanish regime and for some time afterward they knew that the authorities could, and did. compel them to labor at wages fixed by them. In some localities It is impossible at any .price to obtain native labor, not because of its lack, but because they prefer to remain Idle.

Cannot Pay In- Uold. The State department has been in formed by Mr. Conger that the Chinese government has professed its utter inabil ity to pay the Indemnity Oh gold basis and has suggested that If the powers in- 1st China should be allowed to collect the import duties in gold. , This would practically amount to doubling the custom receipts, gold standing In -the ratio ot about one to two to sliver. - Secretary Hay has replied that the United States, having agreed to accept payment' on ft silver basis, could not agree to consider the last proposition. ' ' Wants ta. (tap Dollars. The senate committee on finance today heard an argument by the director of the mint in support of the house bill authoris ing the coinage of the silver In the treas ery into subsidiary coins and repealing tha law for the coinage of silver dollars. Mr. Roberta said there. was great demand for more small coin. The bill was not acted upon, because of objections made by some members of the committee to the provi sion prohibiting ths further colnsge of silver dollars. leasts beta? Endangers Army.' The War department la seriously con cerned about the failure of the senate to get, on a large cumber of names ot young officer submitted at the beginning of the session.
