Captain Pershing’s most remarkable ex- ploit was his journey alone and unarmed into the heart of the Lake Lanao coun- try, where he mixed freely with the hos- tile Moros and returned unharmed. He undertook this expedition about two years ago, and as a favorable impr result he made such ion on the Dattos, or native governors, on the north side of the lake that the expedition taken with an armed force a year later was met with kindness. In fact, the troops never had v trouble on the north side of-the lake. n he was asked whether ho’had not jertaken a great risk in going into the ountry alone, he said he supposed there was risk but that was part of his busi- ness. He described the Lake Lanao region as one thal had never before been pene- | trated by white men. The lake is about sixteen miles square, roughly speaking, and around its borders live about 100,000 Moros who, from our standpoint, are sa ages. Generally they are armed with fles and revolvers and also carry the na- tive Malay weapon, a kriss. They are agriculturists and cattle raisérs and make forays on the coast towns of the island. They acknowledge the authority of certain dattos or chiefs and generally speaking are divided into three tribes. During his entire campaign in the lak region Captain Pershing lost only two men in battle, although ‘several died from cholera, which prevailed at ‘he time. ‘aptain Pershing is a2 native of Mis- souri_ and was graduated irom West Point_n 1886.

ISLANDERS ARE PACIFIED. Epeaking of the conditions in the islands he confirmied the reports of tranquillity except those trovhles arising from the op- erations of a | w _robber bands in the vicinity of Manila. These are being broken up as rapidly as possible by the island constabulary, assisted where it is neces- sary by the military. The system of la- dronism, he sald, is now practically co- existent with the Spanish occupation of the islands and has become a recognized custom. Manifestly, he said, it is impos- sible to crush it out in a few months, but at present the islands are freer from these depredations than they ever have been since Spanish occupation. All armed opposition to the insular government, he said, has ceased, and the former opponents of the United States are now satisfled to employ reason and the power of suasion for the purpose of obtaining the conditions they seek. Aguinaldo is now a resident of Manila, ogcupying a house across the street from the residence of Commissioner Wright. He takes no active part in public affairs, his retirement being probably due to the timidity he feels on account of the enmity held against him by many of his country- in { ale mother | — The financial outlook for the islands is bright, acording to Commissioner Wor- | cester. Before he left the commission had already commenced the preparation | for the next semi-annual budget and was engaged in interrogating the heads of all Government bureaus, with a view to | cutting out all superfluous items in their estimates for conducting their depart- ments. These estimates had been scaled down considerably, ! missioner was not able to say that any 1 great reduction would be made from the running expenses of the last six months he felt certain that they would not be | increasea, The Government, he said, is putting large sums into permanent improvements. The harbors of Manila, Cebu and Iloilo | are being bettered at great expense and a fleet of fifteen coast vessels is being con- | structed, which will be invaluable for customs service. Despite these expendi- tures he said, the surplus of between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000 already accrued will be left intact if not increased. aid that no mention had reached islands of the probability of Gover- nor Taft becoming a running mate with President Roosevelt in the next campaign. Such a contingency, he said, would be regretted by the Filipinos, who hold the Governer in the highest esteem and give | him their fullest trust, for which reason they ©ould not like te have him leave his present post. Commissioner Worcester was a member of the first Philippine Commission and was reappointed to succeed himself at he expiration of his term. He was for- | merly assistant professor of soology in the University of Michigan and first vis- tion regarding birds and mammals. | e e The overworked Eye, the faded Ey: the red and inflamed Eye, the Eye tha! needs care, relleved by Murine Eye Rem- edy.

For a while yesterday afternoon, how- ever, there was a ‘warm altercation be- | tween Attorneys Livernash and Moore, | but adjournment cut short hostilities. The trouble was occasioned by the ap- pearance of Carl C. Plehn, professor of finances and statistics at the University of California, who was a witness for the United Rallroads. In his testimony the professor said in part: Since January, 1901, the prices of meats and breadstuffs show a general upward tendency. Those of the more important vegetables, with | the exception of cabbages, show a downward | trend, while a considerable number of others remafned practically stationary. The general | averages for all foods of most weneral con- sumption, whether each article be considered of the same Importance as every other or | whether each be given its proper weight or importance, fluctuate practically within the ilmits of 105 per cent and 95 per cent of the | prices that prevailed during. April, 1903, a | range, that is, of 10 per cent. But they show | no marked tendency either upward or down- | ward. The general averages of the retail | Brices for the foodstuffs of most general con- ! sumption during the first four months of 1903 were found by the best of the several methods followed to be 1 per cent higher than during the same four months of 1802, and by an- other method to be 3.6 per cent higher. As to rents, the evidence is coaflicting, but the conclusion that there has been an advance | of certainly not more than 10 per cent in | the average seems to be sustained. CLOTHING SAME PRICE. Clothing has remained stationary in cost. Fuel and lighting are cheaper, but meither are very important items in the total cost of living. If Wwe give «to each of the different items which enter into the total cost of living, | namely, rent 16.06 per cent, food 41.03 per | cent, fiel 5 per cent, clothing 15.31 per cent, | light 0.90 per cent and all other Gncluding expenflitures for amusements, sickness, savings and other uniform items) 22.70 per cent, its | due welght; and if we assume the largest in- | creases found by any method, and if we neglect the decrease in the cost of fuel and | hting, assuming instead that they remained | stationary, then the effect of all the increases | of the first four months of 1903 over the first | four months of 1902 on the total cost of living | is about 3 per cent.

TROUBLE STARTS. | When Professor Plehn finished reading | his report he was severely cross-examined | by Livernash. | “Have you frankly given Information as favorable to the carmen’s union as the | United Railroads?” the professor was | asked. ¥ “The information is as much at your service as to the United Railroads,” he replied. | “While you were securing the evidence | for the report that you have filed were you still drawing a salary from the Uni- versity of California?” he was then asked. | “Yes; I secured the information at my leisure, when the work did not interfere with my lectures or preparations.” “Did you get the consent of the Board { of Regents to do this work?” Livernash asked. “It was not necessar: Professor Plehn replied. “We are allowed to accept work of this kind if it does not interfere with out™ duties.” “Did the Board of Regents know that you were employed to get up a one-sided report for capitalists against one of - the nce is made for the ad- which makes living in | siderably less in fuel | tern citles, San | the cheapest place | large cities in- | prior to that date. centage of all men got | | i ADVERTISEMENTS.

At this juncture Attorney Moore ob- jected to Livernash's line of questions. In replying Livernash raised his voice to a high pitch, which was eventually drowned by Moore, who remarked: OBJECTS TO TONE. “Don’t you take the kind of a tone that you are now using against»me, for I am used to being treated in a gentlemanly manner.” “Livernash replied that he had every nstinct of a gentleman and that he did not care whether Moore liked his tone or not. “Well, I tell you right now you are not going to growl around me,” concluded | Moore. { This closed the controversy. Professor Plehn will be called to the stand by Liver- nash to-day and it may be several days before the carmen’s counsel will finish cross-examining him. — e August, September, October and November are really the enjoyable months to spend in the country, and in no place is this more so than along the California Northwestern Rail- way.

In Marin County the open season for deer is from July 15 to September 15: in Sonoma County, until September 1, and in Mendocino and Laké counties until October 1 e dove season is open from July 15 to February 15. Many catches of fish are being daily made, and the hunter with the deer on his shoulders comes in every evening tired and hungry, but proud. This whole country is a Mecca for the sports- man.

Hardee of Mining Corpora- tion Secures Warrant for Arrest of W. E. von Johannsen, Mack T. Hardee, 203 Turk street, se- | cured & warrant from Police Judge Ca- | baniss yesterday for the arrest of W. E. von Johannsen, secretary of the Monterey Gold Mining Company on a charge of fal- sifying the records of & corporation. Har- dee alleges that Johannsen on June 190 made @ false entfy on the records of the | company of & meeting of the directors with the intent of defrauding him. The entry was follows: ““That all moneys patd to the Pacific States Mining and In- vestment Company to date, also to be paid hereafter by M. T. Hardee, or s total of 320, are at the charge of M. T. Hardee, personally, with no claim of recourss for same against the Monterey Gold Mining Company.” Attorneéy Henderson, who represexnts Jo- hannsen, says that it fs nothing but « case of spite work. Johannsen, he sald, had Yosne@ one of the directors of the company 3200 out of his ocwn pocket and had commenced suit in the Justice's Court for the recovery of the smount, and that was the cause of the whole trouble. Johannsen was arrested and released on $20 cash bail.

Mike Nolan, the leader of the desperate trio of thugs who cruelly beat and robbed | Mrs. T. V. Mathews at her home, 53| Haight street, on March 4, yesterday | pleaded gullty fo the charge of robbery before Judge Carroll Cook without the | formality of a trial. He also put into the | hands of Attorney Willlam H. Schooler | a lengthy statement, which he hopes will | be effectively used in the appeal for a new trial to be made by Schooler before | the Supreme Court In behalf of Docla Nolan, now under sentence of eight years for complicity in the Mathews robbery. But Nolan's action is not altogether prompted by unselfish devotion to his orstyvhile companion and partner in crime, | Docia, the condemned felon. In his ef- | forts to receive a light sentence for his crime Nolan has sought to establish the contention that he was not in the house | of Mrs. Ida Tuttle on Haight street on | the afternoon when the brutal assault on | Mrs. Mathews took place, but that a | member of the gang, Henry Lupton, now | under charge of the murder of James | Gilleece on April 14, was with Whitelaw | and Davis when the, crime was commit- | ted. TAKES ALL BLAME. It is understood that in the statement which Nolan gave Attorney Schooler yes terday he takes upon himself al' the ~e sponsibility for being the one whe Inform: ed the resy of the unsavory crew of the i presence of diamonds and other valuables in the Tuttle home. He declares ¢that he | let the information slip while Whitslaw, | Davis, Lupion and himself were in an opium joint and (hat the s2atement of Ruby Grills o the effect that Docia No- ian informed the gang of the tempting prise while they were in the Pine-street coffee house is false.

Massey and J. M. Thurston, defendants in a suit to recover property filed by A. J. Schow, deny that they decelved the plaintiff, as he alleges in his complaint. They claim that all the moneys due Schow were turned over to him and that he receipted to them there- for. 90 per cent insurance - deducted from regular price | the scheme, | that Nolan, of Mike Nolan came as a surprise to those interested in the prosecution of the cases of the trio of thugs. Nolan's case had been set last Tuesday for August 17, at which time Davis was also to answer for his crime. Wednesday night Nolan sent & letter to Schooler, saying that he must see him on urgent business. Early yesterday | morning Schooler went up to the County Jail and was notified by Nolan that he wished to plead guilty and reeeive im- mediate sentence. When taken before Judge Cook Nolan’s demand for imme- diate sentence was denied on the protest by Assistant District Attorney Porter Ashe that District Attorney Byington should be present when sentence was passed. Saturday was therefore set as the time when Nolan shall listen to the terms of his punishment. The police declare that Nolan's conten- tion that he was not of the party which beat Mrs., Mathews and ransacked the house c¢an be disproved by TYestimony which they have in their possession. No- lan was seen standing under an umbrella within twenty feet of the Tuttle home a few minutes before the assault occurred. Mrs. Mathews also testified in the trials of Docia Nolan and Bernard Whitelaw that she saw Nolan and that he went to the end of the hall and put his umbrella behind the door when he entered. LUPTON SPOILS SCHEME. Nolan's efforts to drag Lupton into the charge falls flat before the evidence in the hands of the police. It is admitted that Lupton was undoubtedly a party to but he is lame and it is known by the testimony of the Grills girls Whitelaw and Davis on that account purposely gave him the slip on the afternoon when they went out to do the deed. Lupton has already told the police that he had been approached by Nolan with the purpose of being induced to declare that he was one of the trio of thugs and that he received his information concern- ing the Tuttle diamonds from Nolan, in stead of his comsort, Docia. Schooler declares that Nolan is inno- cent of actua! participation in the assault and vobbery.
