JUDGE TAFT TO
SUCCEED JUSTICE THOMAS.
Preeident Will   Nominate  Him  Some
Time Next Month.
WASHINGTON,. Jan. 5.—If existing
plans oarry, sometime next month the
President will send to the senate the
nomination of Governor Taft, to be an
associate justice of the United States
supreme court to succeed Justice Shiras. who is expected to retire during
that month. Oovernor Taft will be
succeeded as civil governor of the Philippines by General Luke Wright, at
present vice governor, and the latter
place will be filled by the appointment
of W. W. Rockhill, the present director
of the bureau of American republics.
There are already many aspirants for
the place which will be vacated by Mr.
Rockhill, but so far the President has
made no choice. It appears that Governor Taft was offered a place on the
supreme bench cn the death of Justice
Gray but he felt that affairs in the
Philippines were in inch a state ae to
require his own personal attention ana
he sacrificed the opportunity. The
President has not forgotten his unselfishness and now feels that the work in
the archipelago will be ln shape by
February so that lt may be well taken
over by General Wright. While Mr.
Rockhill will receive a much higher
compensation as vice governor ot the
Philippines than he does as director of
the bureau of American republics, still
his acceptance of the first named place
involves the relinquishment of many
ambitious plans he ' had Cherished,
looking to Aie extension of the present
bureau into an institution far beyond
its present importance and scope.
CALL OUR SOLDIERS SWINE.
Epithet Applied to Them by the Sultan
of Bacalod.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5—"Swine who
eat swine," is the latest compliment
'tendered American soldiers in Mindanao by the sultan of Bacalod and
the Panaduangan of that place. These
two Filipino "braves" of the Moro tribe
have caused the American troops no
little annoyance since the occupation
by their guerilla warfare. The following is an example of the letters received
at the war department in the last
Philippine mail; It was sent to the
American officers in Mindanao, bearing
fhe impramata of the sultan and panaduangan of Bacalod:
"We want war If you do not get out
of here and go back to the sea, because
neither the sultan of Bacalod nor the
panadungan wants to be your friend.
Within this month we want the war to
begin and if you do not want it you are
a lot of cowardlv rascals.
"Follow our Mohammedan religion.
"Da not look for tho Mausers, for we
have /them. They wer^ captured by
Bantuas and Buarslng, people of the
sultan of Bacalod. .
"We send our regards to the foreign
generals and their vermin. If you. do
not want to go from here, come to this
place and the sultan and panadungan
will take care of you, tor you are a lot
of hogs that eat hogs and ln not presenting yourselves at Bacalod, look out
for we shall go to fight you."
The advices show that neighbors of
the Bacalod chief are quite friendly to
the Americans, the sultan of Uato having visited Camp Vicars.

WITB COAL OISGUSSION.
MR. LODGE INTRODUCED BILL TO
8U8PEND DUTY ON COAL.
SEVERAL RESOLUTIONS
INTRODUCED.
Much Interest Manifested Over Existing     Fuel     Conditions—Omnibus
Bill  Discussed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—When the
senate reconvened today, after the holiday recess, few senators were absent.
Almost immediately a discussion began
regarding the coal situation.
Mr. Lodge prefaced his introduction
of a bill suspending for ninety days the
duty on coal with the statement that in
New England there was much distress
owing to the scarcity of coal and that
unless relief was afforded at once, a
number of factories would hare to abut
down. He wae aware, he said, that
such a bill should originate In the
house of representatives, but it was his
desire to' call the attention of the
finance committee to the state of affairs. Mr. Culberson followed with a
resolution providing for the removal of
the duty on.anthracite coal and asked
its immediate consideration. Mr. Piatt
(Conn.) objected; laying it was his un-
destandlng there was no duty on anthracite coal.
Mr. Vest took exception to this statement and satd that fhe board of general
appraisers and President Roosevelt bad
decided that such a duty was imposed.
Mr. yeat also Introduced a resolution
on tpe subject.
- Another resolution bearing on the
Subject of coal, introduced by Mr. Jones
(Ark.) recited the ' charge of C. R.
Hearst tbat there was an illegal combination among railroads to control the
shipment of anthracite coal, and called
on Ibe attorney general for the evidence which it was alleged had been
secured by him. It caused a lively debate in which several Republican senators vigorously resented what they
thought was a reflection on the attorney general. The discussion continued
unfits o'oloek when the resolution went
over, being displaced by the omnibus
bill.
Mr. Nelson (Minn.) addressed the
senate in opposition to the bill and favored single statehood for Oklahoma
and Indian Territory.
At 4 o'clock the senate adjourned.
House Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5—The house
resumed work today after a recess of
two weeks but within two hours the
machinery broke down for lack ot a
quorum.
The bill to create a general staff in
the army was the issue. An attempt
was made to pass it Under susDenson
of the rnles wheh requires a two-thirds
[ majority. Although the members of
the minority's military committee endorsed it, opposition developed because
of the hurried manner in wheh It was
proposed to pass the bill and the division, 108 to 59, developed that lt did
not oommand the support of two-thirds
of those present. A call of the house
followed ■but as the roll call showed
about thirty less than a quorum the
house adjourned.
Colonel   Herrick a  Candidate.
CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 5.—Colonel
Myron' T. Herrick, when asked by a

will visit otber relatives.
We notice in Saturday's Herald a
clipping from the FrankUn Leader,
saying that a number of Oil City business men had presented a petition to
the cohnty commissioners urging tbem
to buy the Seneca street toll bridge.
It is a wonder tbey don't want the
county to plank the river from Oil CSty
to Framklin for a sort of driving park.
It would be rank injustice to the taxpayers to pnt this additional expense
on tho eounty. There is one free
bridge and that le enough for the country people, and if a 985,000 bridge ls
not good enough for the OU City people to walk orer, let them buy the
Seneca street bridge themselves Cr go
over ln ferryboats. When the commissioners bought the relief bridge
from Mr. Smithman the owners of tbe
other bridge and their friends thought
lt was a terrible thing to spend so
much money, but all anyone has to do
to see the wisdom of it ls to stand at
one end of the bridge for an hour and
count the endless stream of teams and
pedestrians, and they don't have to
lay down their money at the end of the
bridge. Now the people do not travel
tho upper bridge, so they want to put
it on the county. If they could make
a trade it would not be so bad, but aa
the county has to keep up tbe repairs
the traction company would have no
object in getting lt back. It would be
a good idea for the Cherrytree Grange
to look after the farmers' interests in
just such Instances as this. Commissioners, think twice.
