He said: “While the country is committed to a course, and especially one which has put welfare of another people in its charge, its honor is involved, whether that course be one it should have taken or one it should have avoided.” Secretary Taft, in reply, maintained that this country was conscientiously looking after the welfare of the people in the Philippines. He made an elo- plea for the completion of the work of civilized government and edu- cation in the islands. He said the friar question was about settled, as their places had been taken by Americans and natives; that thousands of Ameri- cans were there teaching school and hundreds of Filipinos were being edu- cated in this country and that the day would come when the Philippines would be for the Filipinos, but that he would not obstruct the progress of present operations to make any defi- nite declarations for independence. The present government in the Phil- ippines must first succeed in complet- ing its mission or independence would be a failure and any would abandon the Philippines would cause such a disaster as to disgrace American history and modern civiliza- tion. change that —————— WILL SOON RATIFY BASEBALL AGREEMENT Arrangement Between Pacific Coast and National Leagues Seems Satisfactory. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 22.—Rati- fication of the peace agreement with the Pacific national organization by the National Association of Minor Leagues now seems assured. An informal conference of the mag- nates of the three class A leagues was held to-night. President Hanlon of the National League outlined the pro- posed agreement, which proved much more favorable to the class A leagues than had been expected. It i8 now believed the only possible hitch will be in the awarding of disputed play- ers. It is thought the Pacific National will be allowed to take all players for whom a straight contract can be shown providing it eliminates the one that has been signed with a club in- side the ranks of organized baseball. The real work will be done to-morrow, when there will be a conference of the representatives of all the minor leagues and President Hanlon will submit his official report. —_———— Coastwise Laws Before House. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Repre- sentative Tawney to-day introduced a joint resolution extending from July 1, 1904, to July 1, 1906, the operation of the coastwise laws of the United States between this country and the Philippines and in the coastwise trade of the islands. R S LR MRy o Composer of Sacred Music Dies. NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—William F. Pecher, organist of St. Patrick’s Ca- thedral, one of the greatest authori- ties in America on church music and the composer of several masses and vespers, died to-day, aged 66 years. COAST CITIES CET DRENCHING Raging Torrents Take the Place of Quiet Streams Near the Towns of Yreka and Redding RS L b4 YREKA, Feb. 22.—Not since 1861 have the waters in the various streams and gulches about this place been as high as they are to-day. Where formeriy ran slow, sluggish streams are running raging torrents and the dam- age to roadwavs and bridges has been congiderable. The approaches to sev- eral railroad bridges have been swept away, and numerous and hairbreadth have been the escapes from death by drowning. Humbug Gulch causes the residents of this place a great deal of uneasiness. So much was it feared that the townspeople remained up all last night prepared to defy the waters that threatened at any momentto over- flow is banks. Fort Jones is cut off en tirely. REDDING, Feb. 22.—Redding was isolated to-day, so far as stage traffic was concerned, and railroad traffic was crippled, owlag to the continued rains which have brought the season’s rain- fall already up to more than thirty-six inches. The Sacramento River is run- ning so high that the bridge ferry over the stream at this point is useless. Creeks to the west are so swollen that traffic is impossible. As the stage which left Weaverville, now Trinity County, this morning, bound for this place, tried to ford East Weaver Creek a few miles from its starting point the swift current upset the stage and carried it down stream 150 yards. Sam Miller, the only pas- senger, managed to get ashoreé on the back of one of the three horses he cut loose. Dick Heath, the driver, was carried down stream. He landed on an island, where he remained until relief reached him. One horse was drowned.
