San Francisco, Ca.I.? Lamenting the
political situation in tlie Philippines
?nd the wave of ladronism tliat has
swept over many of the provinces,
Secretary of War William H, Taft,
who arrived from the islands 011 the
Korea, expressed the belief that a
change in the constabulary ought to bo
effected Immediately, and declared thnt
tho proposition was now under consid
eration by tho Government.
Referring to tho fact that some of
the younger men on the Island had
been nuvocating immediate independ
ence, he declared with considerable
emphasis that in tho opinion of tho
Administration there was no possible
hope for independence short of a gen
eration, because the people could not
be fitted for self-government In that
time, and it would probably take a
much longer period. ?
Miss Alice Roosevelt remained for n
longer stay in the Orient, and the Har
vlman party delayed Its return, as ail
the cabin accommodations on the Ko
rea had been taken.
General Taft said: "fl was very grat
ifying, on landing at Manila, to tind
that the great harbor ? works, which
will probably wake Manila harbor us
convenient as any in the Orient, were
practically completed, so that the larg
est vessels wcro ablo to load and un
load in stormy weather, during ' a
south west monsoon, behind a break
water, something which is ^Hrtrtfc'rd "bt
for years. X .
"Tho whole appearance of "the city,
to out* who Knew it tojfv or five years
afeo, is changed. Tlxystreets are well
paved and cloan and the gutters, and
curbs are in excellent condition. The
main business streets are paved with
the hardest kind of wooden blocks, the
streets are being widened, new streets
are being laid out. and everything is
done in accordance with the plan made
.for the improvement of Manffa by
Burnhaiu, of Chicago. '
"The lusst noteworthy change is the
construction of an cfectri9 street rail
way along thirty-three, miles of the
streets of Manila. It is a paying prop
erty, greatly patronized by the na
tives, and has nearly revolutionized
llviyg In the city
Concerning trade conditions In the
" Orient, Secretary Taft said: "The pro^
jeet to- establish a,' comprehensive ex
hibit of American goods at Shanghai
Is one that commands my hearty com
mendation. If It should be put
through, it will be, so far as my" in
formation goe& ^he flrst Intelligent ef
fort of Americatujaetchauts to go af
ter the^jusiness Orient
"Situated as the American merchants
are and possessing as -wo believe the
best output in the world, they are nev
ertheless being hopelessly outclassed
in the quest of the immense commerce
of China, /Japan and other Oriental
.countries. > ,
"Americans are not sending the right
goods over there, and what they do
send is not put up in packages calcu
lated to attract the merchants of those
countries. The native dealers get no
opportunity to inspect our products,
and probably wouldn't buy such as are
being fsported if they did.
"Anjr such plan as this exhibit should"
be supplemented by reorganized con
sular service, and to this end mer
chants should get after their Con
gressmen and compel action on this
most important subject."

|DIEP IN HOME-MADE; AUTO
An Ingenious Connecticut farmer
Killed by a Train,
Samuel Cmncr'a Mmlilua Made So Much
Nol?? That lfe railed to lletur
the J.ocoinott vo.
New Haven, Coup? -Man lias seldom
'contrived lilt* own death more pitifully
through the triumph of l.U iwn efforts,
aimed In a far different dircctlou, than
has Samuel Casner, a farmhand living
near here. After wjeeks of study and
patient labor, to which he gave all his
spare time and all his spare money,
Casner built for himself a home-made
Automobile. He was taking his first
spin In it when, In running over a level
crossing, he was caught by the Pitts
held Express. He was killed Instantly,
his mangled body being thrown more
thau 200 feet. Ills automobile was
ground into scrap iron.
Casuer was on his way to see his
father, who lives only half a mile away
from the scene of the aeddent. Word
of the disaster reached ^the old man,
and he walked down to* the crossing
to learn tho details without any fore
warning of the fact that his son was
tho automoblllat who had been killed.
He was prostrated by the shock of the
truth. *
The building of an automobile had
long been a pet project In Casner's
mind. He was forty years old, and
though he had been a farm hand all his
life, -being In the employ of Welling*
ton Smith, of Orange, at the time or
his death, he had taught himself a good
deal of the '"'""ments of mechanics
and was of a highly ambitious bent.
His friends laughed at him when ho
tlrst told them he thought it would
be easy enough to build ah automobile
himself If he bought a few of the es
sentia! parts, but he stuck to his idea,
and, buying here aud there as he could
afford it, turning his own wheels and
shafts and hammering out his own
frame, he at last was ready for the
task of putting it together. ? I
Put itJLogether he did, but it was far
from reaching his ideal of a smoothly
running machine. His motive, power
was all right, but tlie roughly made
Joints and cranks would not work
harmoniously. The .automobile would
go at a fair rate, but it- made such a
clattering aud banging that Casner
himself admitted he could not hear
himself think. None the less he>had
succcodcd in building his automobile,
and he set out from his home ire Or
ange t-i take his first real spin and
show his work to his father at Tyler
City. '
Farmers all along the road came out
to see what was the matter as he
crashed a;:d rattlod by, but Casner was
too intent on running his machine to
pay auy' attention to their chaffing ve
jmarks. In spite of the noise it car
ried him without mishap as far as the
railway crossing. Just outside Tyler
City. There the railway swings around
a sharp- curve, and Casner, wrapped up
in the enthusiasm of his own-creation,
reached it JUBt as the Pittsfield Express
was rushing down. The din of his ownr
machine prevented him from bearing
the roar ef the approaching train or
the shrill whistle of warning, and the
engine caught him as the ill-fated auto
mobile was squarely across the tracks^
Ho was dead when picked up from a
cluster of bushes 200 Ceet away. He
leaves a wife and. four children.

chiefs?The l'resldont Deeply Touched
Washington, I). C. ? There never was
on Aiucrlcan President who, returning
lo the caiHfal "ftt the imd of a summer' it
vacation/ received such n welcome
home/ as Theodore Roosevelt has Just
receded. Tradition has it that Wash
ington crowds are not overenthusias
tic, that they seldom eheer. hut that
was belled on the beautiful autumn
evening when the President in his pas
sage along Pennsylvania avenuo to
the White Mouse received an ovation
such as has seldom been witnessed in
this city of pageants and ceremonies.
From the time ho left the train that
carried him from Jersey City until the
Executive Mansion was reached Presi
dent Roosevelt found enthusiastic hun
dreds on every side, cheering like mad
and waving lings and handkerchiefs
?.with a vim and warmth thnt he appre
ciated thoroughly. In his characteris
tic way he entered into the spirit or
the occasion, and from the moment he
left the station until the White House
was reachcd he stood up in his car
riage and waved his hat with au'Vii
joyment that was apparent to every
body along the line.
It whs as tho ilea com nkr?iv mul not
merely as the head of tho nation, that
the President was received by the peo
ple of Washington. No other ntffrt*
who has occupied the While House
was B paid such a tribute * as Wa#
given to him. Official bound Washing
ton, having its dinner at 5 o'clock p. 111.,
and confirmed in its habit of reading
the evening paper after dinner was
over, abandoned the habit of years and
turned out in force to shout a greeting
to a man whoso face was familiar and
who conld bo seen at almost any time.
Tho cordiality of tho reception and
the size of the crowd were till the more
remarkable from the fact that there
were no spectacular or imposing fea
tures to the President's homecoming.
No bands weu^at hand, no uniformed
military foriytfd his escort. There were
only a lU#^ of conventional carriages
and a few mounted polleemen. Bill the
route over which the President pro
ceeded lo his official resbfthice Was
lined with"" men, women ?tnd children,
'"Who forgot their hastily eaten dinner
and their hastily* read evening paper
in the sheer joy they felt of cheering
and waving and making the most dis
tinguished fellow townsman feel that
he was one of them.
The special train which brought the
President and his party 'from Jersey
City arrived in Washington at G.18
;p*clock p. m., about two minutes be
hind the schedule. Atarger party than
usual of Administratiou officers met the
, President at the station, among the
cumber being Postmaster-General Cor
telyou. Secretary of the Interior Hitch
cock, Secretary of Agricufture Wilson,
Seflrfetary of ^Commerce Metcalf and
Assistant Secretary of State Lopinls.
Mrs. Roosevelt's Manchester terrier.
Jack, was there In charge of Charlie,
the President's footman, and he rode
up Pennsylvania avenue in the Presi
dent's carriage.
Mr. Roosevelt paused only a minute
or so on the station platform to shake
hands with the friends who came to
meet him, but hurried to the carriagefJ
which was in waiting near the place
where the train stopped.
The police arrangements had been
m'ade with almost as much care as if
the occasion had been an inauguration.
The whole length of -Pennsylvania ave
nue from Sixth street to the White
-House had been roped off, and the
crowd was kept back on the sidewalk.
The President's carriage was driven
slowly up the avenue, and Mr. Roose
velt stood during the" entire drive,
lifting his hat and bowing in response
to the cheers of the crowd. Four
Secret Service men and plain clothes
men walked on either <dde of the car
riage. and mounted policemen sur
rounded the carriage at a distance of a
few yards. In an open carriage, im
mediately following the President's,
was Chief Wllkle of the Secret Ser
vice;.
There was a big crowd around tho
gate at the entrance to the White
Hduse grounds, and thev carriage was
Btqpned a moment while tho President,
with his hat in his hand, said: "Good
night and good luck; and ttianfc von
very much for the reception you have
gli'&i me upon my homecoming." Mr.
Roosevelt seemed to be deeply touched
by tho demonstration, so unusual for*
Washington. The carriage was then
driven rapidly up the driveway to tb-i
pit>rte cochere on the north side of the
mansion, where the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt entered the house.
Strikebreakers busted.
The New York subway strikebreak
ers, Imported by Farley, having served
their purpose, will now be discharged
by the Interb6rough Company. The
Interborougli has asked the Brooklyn
ItApld Transit Company, for thirty

aggregation will be disposed of as
quietly and quickly as possible.

Colon, Panama ? Six hundred and
fifty laborers fr;>m Martini<|n<*. brought
hero on the French steamship Ver
sailles under contract to work on tin*
canal, refused to disembark or to sub
mit to, vaccination, which la imperative
under the American nanitar.v regula
tions.
The men. clamored to be taken back
to Martinique, asserting that they had
been misinformed as to the conditions
iter? before they embarked, and that
later they learned these conditions
were Intolerable and deadly. How
ever, D(M) of them were with difficulty
persuaded to land, and these were sent
to points along the line of the canal.
One hundred and fifty remained on
aboard and declined to leave the ship
sunder any consideration.
* These men were forcibly ejected
from the vessel by Panama and ('anal
Zone policemen, but not until nearly
every one of them hud been clubbed
and several were bleeding from their
wounds.
The French Consul at Colon, M. I Jon
henry, appealed to the men to listen
to reason, explaining that they had
left Martinique under contract with
the canal zone emigration agent guar
anteeing the payment of their passage
hera ???<f V*-* working on the
eanaT they would have In addition to
their wages the guarantee of Iree
quarters and free medical uttciulanec.
The men, however, were nor amen
able to this reasoning.
Before noon, at the instance of M,
Raven, the agent of the company, and
*^f the French Consul, a squad of Pan
aiuan police went 011 board the vessel
and told the men that force would be
used if they persisted in their refusal
to disembark. Seeing that the police
were armed with bayonets and guns,
the men again bared their breasts and
said they preferred death rather than
betaken ashore.
Tne laborers at 2 o'clock were In
formed that they would be given two
hours to reconsider their decision, and
at 4 o'clock three of them consented to
disembark, the others still holding out.
Then the Panama police, armed with
clubs, approached the laborers, and on
their refusing to leave the ship began
to club them right and left. The y.tme
police, a few minutes inter, assisted iu
the clubbing, but with better Judgment
and less indiscriminately. About fifty
of the laborers leaped into the sea, but
all of them were able to swim. The
captain,- however, lowered a boat,
which picked them up. Ncnr?y every
man had received blows and several
of them were bleeding from ugly
wounds. JJf
Seeing that rcslctanco wn^useless,
the men yielded, came ashore and be
gan to eat the food which had been
placed on the dock in sight of them for
several hours. At 5 o'clock nil the la
borers, who were in a pitiable condi
tion, were placed on board a truin,
which left for Corozal, where they will
be put to work.
MOTHER KILLS HER 7 CHILDREN
She Then Wounds Herself Mortally

Cambridge, 111.? Neighbors of Will
iam Markuin discovered that the
Markum house was on fire. Hastening
there to assist ^n subduing the flames,
they saw the bodies of Mrs. Markum
and her seven children lying Inside*
the burning building, .covered with
blood. They succeeded In pulling the
bodies from the flames only to find
them all horribly gushed. M\ were
apparently d,ead, but signs of life were
discovered iu the woman and she Was
restored to consciousness. She at first
said a strange man had killed the
children and then set the house on fire.
Later, just before she died, Mrs.
k Markum confessed that she had killed
the children with a hatchet and had
attempted to kill herself with the same
weapon, but falling, had set the house
on fire.
After her death a letter \i'as found

she was going to kill herself and the
