The Governor is of the opinion that it may be possible to induce the Sultan of Jolo to part with some of the rights he claims to the Jolo group and thus obviate many obstacles now encountered. Governor Taft then tells of the condi- tlons that have made the islands purchase about $15,000,000 of focd,'and of the effects source of wealth in the Islands. he bane of Philippine civilization in the past was ladréfilsm,” says the Gov arnor, “and the present conditions are most favorable for its growth and main- tenance. It may be that as the conditions grow worse, for they are likely to do so before they grow better, it will be neces- sary in a province like Cavite, where la- dronism seems inbred in the people, to pro- claim martial law and even to call in the military finally to suppress it, but it s till hoped that this will be avoided.” Governor Taft says the figures show that for the r ended June 30, 192, the imports, xclusive of quartermasters’ stores of all goods, were $41,000,000, while the exports were about $27,000,00.

Touching the organization of labor union: the Governor says that if properly direct ed the movement may give to the labor: ing class: sense of the dignity of labor and of their independence: He regards the objection made by the Filipinos to the introduetion of Chinese into the islands to be logical and justified. The commission, in its report, urges that it is the duty of the United States to se- cure the Philippines as stable a currency as that used by the people of the United States. The commission toncludes its report | with the following recommendations, which are urged on the attention of Con- g blishment of a gold standard in the fslands and of banking corporations em- powered to iss culating bank notes under pr rafegu n of at least 75 per cent of of duty upon goods imported the Dingley rat tes from the Philippines. into the United 3.

In an interview Captain Shaw- Tavlor said: The Government now for the first time has before it a practical solution of this guestion acceptable to the land owners and occuplers, and it would be a national calamity if, while the truce exists between the two partles, this unique opportunity is allowed to pass. R A IS SUCCESSFULLY SPEEDED BOSTON, Jan. 4—The torpedo-boat de- ' stroyer MacDonough, built by the Fore River Ship and Engine Company of Quincy, Mass., was successtully speeded over a measured mile off Wood Ena, Provincetown, to-day. one leg at a rate of 28.56. runs over the mile averaged 28.02, which was the speed which gained her accept- ance by the Government board. This trial was so encouraging that at its conclusion it was decided to try another | Governmenut test, that of an endurance run of one hour, at a continued speed of 2 knots. This was attempted on the trip back to Boston, across Cape Cod Bay, but after three-quarters of the time had been consumed a valve blew out and the trial was postponed until Tuesday.

The report deals with all the departments of the univer- sity and is very complete. It is made to | the Governor of the State on behalf of | the Regents. | Financiaily, according to the report, the university is in great need. The rapid | growth of students has far outstripped the income, until now every increase in| the enrollment is an embarrassment. The | 2-cent tax established for the benefit of | the university has not grown with the | population and prosperity of the State, a3 supposed, but has remained nearly tionary. The growth of the university | demands a larger force of instructors, | more rooms, laboratories, books and | more scieatific work to uplift the farm- | ing, mining, viticultural, dairying. com- | mercial, engineering and other activities : and interests of the State. i President Wheeler lays particular stress on the needs of the university. Two years ago, he said, there were fifteen ‘‘prime needs,” of which six have been suppli now there are thirteen requirements of the first order, including eight new build- .ings and departments in shipbuilding, ! music and architecture. The destruction of North Hall is advocated, as It is con- sidered unsafe. This would, of course, re- quire the erection of a building to take its place, and ultimately, President Wheel- er reports, three separate buildings will be required for the departments now oc- | cupied by old North Hall. GIFTS TO UNIVERSITY. | The gifts to the university during the | last two years have amounted to §900.000, i without which the work at the colieges weculd have been seriously crippled, if not | fmpossible in many cases. The gross income for the year 1901-02 | vias $609,107 03, from which there must be | deducted, in order to obtain the true in-| come applicable to current exper | 63 67 for the maintenance of the Wil- | merding School; $25,457 9 for special items | having no direct relation to university instruction, such as scholarships, scien- | tific expeditions, ete.; §12,847 45 for medical department fees, and $61,68% 64 the amount | set aside from the 2-cent tax for per-| manent improvements, leaving $483,319 31 | for the expenses of the Of this in- | come $40,000 was received from the United | States Government under the Morrill col- lege aid fund and the Hatch station fund; $1£5,065 91 from the 2-cent tax, rep- | resenting three-fourths of it; $100,600 from special appropriation of the last Legislature, $134,79 5 from income on in-| vested funds and $2,457 81 from labora- tory deposits ®y stddents and miscella- | neous items. For 1900-01 the income was $483,263 41, of | which $26.907 85 was for the Wilmerding School, $19,091 30 for special fitems and $60,891 18 for permanent improvements, leaving $376,373 07 for expenses. In comparing the income of 1901-192 with that of 1500-1%1 President Wheeler says: INCOME IS STABLE. We see that the income from investments is practicalty stable. the decline in the rates | of interest having offset the increase in capital: | thet the proceeds of the 2-cent tax show an | increase of only about $2400. and that the to- | « | tal increase of income is measured almost ex- | actly by the special grant of the last Legisla- | ture. The increase in laboratory fees amounts | to.$3200,° but represents no real increase in in- come, us it depends upon the increase of stu- | dents n laboratorles, involving an increase of | expense, 1 ‘The increase of income afforded by the action | of the Legislature rescued the university from very serious embarrassment. It has enabled us to provide proper instruction for those class- es in the required work of freshmen and sopho- more years which in the preceding year had been taught in sections containing twice or | three times the number of people properly as- | signable to a single section and a single feach- er. It has enabled us to improve greatly the wequipment of our laboraioriesg and workshops, indeed partly to create three hew laborator.es It has also given welcome opportunity to widen the scope of instruction by the addition | of departments stringently required by tha progress of modern sclence and learning. By action of the Legislature creating the 2- tax_ one-fourth of its proceeds were set apart for permanent improvements and the purchase of real estate. The amount received for that purpose Is now somewhat over $60,000 per year. It has been the effort of the regents | to Interpret the intention of the Legislature in its stristest sense and to apply these funds only to improvements which are really perma.- nent in character. as for instance to the gym- | nasium &nd to the chemical laboratory. MUCH SPENT FOR LAND. During the last two vears the greater por- | tion of the entire fund for permanent improve- ments has been spent in the purchase of land. The open tract to the south of the main cam- pus, called the “Hillegass Tract,” including some fifteen or sixteen acres, was evidently | needed by the university H | The tract was the propérty of five different owners; the price for the five separate prop- | tries, including the house and outbuildings of | the Meyer property, aggregated in total §18S,- | 120 07.© The rapid rise in the market value | of Berkeley real estate since the date of the | purchase has greatly increased the value of thie land, which to-day could scar chased for less than $250.600 to §: | the terms of the purchases fuil title in the | | land is transferred to the university seciion | by section, as the payments therefor are made | | "The problem of where and how the women | students shall live is one of much difficuity. | There are to-day wore women scudents in the | University of California than in any other institution in the country which provides for | the higher education of women, with the single exception of Smith. At the béginning of each vear 300 or mora young women arrive in Berke- accustomed to travel. The Y. M. C. A. and | the Y. W. C.

Both the asso- clagions now have permanent salaried secre- tarfes whose entire gme is devoted to their work. INTERESTING EXPERIMENT. Mrs. Hearst has carried through a most in- | i | i | lem of college homes for women students. She has equipped two club houses, in each of | which dwell fifteen or twenty girls and a | house mother. This clective, autonomous club | | gives pleasant associations, experience in house- | keeping, a comfortable home, and good food for less money than the cost of forlorn lone- someness in a third-rate boarding house. The two clubs instituted by Mrs. Hearst two years ago have been extremely sucesstul, as have Iikewise the eight sorority houses. ‘A revolv- ing fund which should provide for the original furnishing of such women's clubs as might be formed from time to time would be of the greatost aid in the develooment of this very useful institution. These clubs are wholly self-supporting. The agricultural department to-day is grevi- ously hampered by lack of proper accommo- dations and by lack of adequate funds. Much of the work of the department Is so specifically of an industrial character. and so intimately bound up with the material Interests of the State, that specific and largely increased pro- vision should surely be made by the State for its_development support. Of the fifteen prime needs of the university specified in the biennial report. six have heen supplied—equipment for the department of dairying, instruction in physical chemistry, instruction in the art of public speaking, in- struction in Spanish and ian, instruction in commerce and a rtment of frrigation.

GUTS ONE HOUR OFF DAILY TOIL Cotton Mills Reduce the Working Time in Factory. Makes Voluntary Decrease, ‘Which Affects 500 Employes. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Jan. 4. The California Cotton Mills Company has voluntarily reduced the hours of la- bor in its factory at Twenty-third ave- nue from ten to nine a day. This change, which will be effective to- morrow, medns a benefit to 300 opera- tives. It comes as & New Year's gift of double worth, because the employes have made no demand nor have given any in- timation that they were not content with the ruling schedule as to time and wages. State Organizer C. D. Rogers of the American Federatlon of Labor has e fected thie organization of the cotton mill United Tex- tile Workers of America.

BN R R | STRIKERS AT KESWICK MODERATE THE DEMANDS KESWICK, Jan. 4,—TLe strike that has prevailed here for some time is not yet | over, but the strikers have moderated their demands in that they no longer ask for the reinstatement of the five men who were discharged for cause, a circum- stance which led to the strike originally.

A partial resuraption qf work has takem place at the mine, where non-union men | sre caring for the copper leaching vats, | and a small force is working at timbering and drilling in the mine itself. No union men are allowed on the mine reserve, where at least a dozen patrolmen still do @ i @ completion of a new building were the prep- aration of its plans begun at cnee.
