WASHINGTON GOSSIP Gold Production Id the Philippines Mining in Its Infancy Hut Gold Pro duction Is Likely to Puss the Phil ippines Elkinx An Enthusiastic Crank Gossip About Various Persons. is none of them that does not have a wholesome respect for his ability. It was noticeable that when Senator Root was expoilndlnf the corpora tion tax, he seemed to address the bulk of his remarks to the Texas senator. Incidentally he paid Bailey a compliment that made even that veteran legislator blush. He referred ' to the senator from Texas, whose mind almost works with the precision of a Corliss engine." (Special to The Times) Washington, Aug. 1 7 Discussing the Philippines as a mineral-bearing country, Joseph S. Kinsley, of Phila delphia, who is Interested in mining in the archipelago, and lias recently returned from there, said: "In gold production in the next few years the islands are likely to surpass Alaska. Of course, mining the Philippines is as yet in its in fancy. In fact, work on a large scale has scarcely commenced. In the va rious regiments sent to ihe islands during the Spanish-American war, i and later, were many practical min ers and prospectors. Taken 10 va-1 rloiis posts in the islands by the ex igences of the campaign, men who kept their eyes open could scarcely fail to see in certain localities unmis takable signs of undeveloped mineral wealth. When their terms of enlist ment expired, these men immediately set about to locate claims, enduring all the rigors of the detestable cli mate, called by the lure of gold. Lack of transportation, the rank vegeta tion in the greater part of the island, and native conditions may retard the progress of these men for a time, but within five years the archipelago will be able to supply gold for a world's demand." According to Senator Jeff Davis, ot Arkansas, the American people will get mighty nervous if they llnd that the tariff has been revised upward. "They will dodge from you, Mr. Pres ident," said the Arkansas statesman, "like a blind goose in a back alley when it hears a hissing sound, or an old mule who has been hit over ihe head .too often with the bridle." Another of Senator Davis'-homilies was called forth by the discussion of a tax on cotton goods. "I used to think," said the senator, "that the prettiest sight I ever saw in my life was eight yards of calico, a good rid dle, a puncheon Hour and a country iniii- nm 1 never imagined. M President, that we were paying $S in taxes for t he eight yards of calico worn by our partners. I nder the present law a tax of eight cents per square yard is laid, or $s on $13 worth of goods." Senator Davis did not say whether this was before or alter he became a "iilar in the Baptist chinch. Tafts at Beverly. One of the most enthusiastic air- luuno ill vuilgiOD J3 UCIiatUl Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia. Every afternoon he gets out his auto, bunts up two or three friends and goes out to Fort Myer to see the Wrights. He did not get discouraged at the repeated failure of the broth ers, and was present at their signal triumph. Postmaster-General Hitchcock has acquired the reputation of being the best dressed man In President Taft's cabinet, and one of the best dressed in the district, which is going some. Mr. Hitchcock used to be a good dresser when he was only a cabinet officer's assistant, and now that he has broken into the cabinet himself he is living up to his reputation. The postmaster-general is too busy to change suits several times a day, but he never commits the faux pas of wearing the same suit two consecu tive days. Representative Kuestermann, of Wisconsin, who was born in Germ any, amused the house the other day in the discussion of the $25 require ment of immigrants at Ellis Island, N. Y., by admitting that he himself could never have got in under that regulation. "I wish to say," said Kuester mann, amid loud laughter, "that had that requirement been in effect at the time I came to this country, I would have been deported, as I only had 23." nyJh::. tPI Wk3 vSS Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, arose in his place some time ago and gave loud protest because he was not taken seriously by the "jokesmiths" in the press gallery. Since then the Idaho statesman has broken into print reg ularly. Every sort of publication, from the big metropolitan dailies and magazines to the small country weekly, has had something to say of the senator. To be sure, it may not always be as serious as he could de sire, but there can be no doubt of the less tlllin llOO.Oiio. to her son The upper picture shows young Charlie Tuft, son of the president, in his boat at Beverly.

Stopping. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Beverly, Mass., Aug. 17 Whoever heard of the president of the United States getting writer's cnimp? Well, President Taft has been engaged for the last few days la an exercise much in favor among grammar school pu pils seeing how many times he can write his name without stopping. His record up to yesterday when he stopped was nearly 300. Writing "William H. Taft" 300 times is not very intellectual work for a chief magistrate, but it was necessary that he write these signatures as each one was attached to a certificate of ap pointment as census enumerator worth $2,000 to the recipient. Bohemian Gymnasts in the Country.

The city administration in its vig orous attempt to stamp out crime and lawlessness has accomplished great good and it is receiving the hearty approval of all the good and law abiding citizens of Raleigh. So this morning's docket was small and Ihe few cases that were lo come up were postponed on the mo tion of the lawyers for the Uefend ants. The case against J. B. Bissett. was postponed on account of the non-appearance of one of the counsel for the defence, Mr. J. A. Farmer, of Wilson. This case will be tiled tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The case against Sallie Lomax, col ored, was continued until tomorrow, upon the grounds that the defend ant had material witnesses she want ed subpoenaed. .In the case against Mamie Bell, a white woman who was charged with vagrancy, in the sense of not being engaged In any useful employment, the city attorney took a nol pros on the condition that she would get out of town. Mamie Bell pleaded that she had a husband at Goldsboro and she was going there and get some work and live with him. . The judge told her he hated to unload her on Goldsboro, but ln'or der to give her a chance he told her to pack up her household goods and vamoose, and.be sure not to be In Raleigh after 3 o'clock on Thursday, August 19. Laying Strings For Nomina tion For Next Term Means will have an equal chance of carrying these states in tae next pres idential election. It is not necessary for President Taft to make public announcement that he will he a candidate to suc ceed himself. This fact has been made clear from the very beginning of his administration in more ways than one. BOAT DRIVEN ASHORE Two Men Drowned in Heavy Sea Seiliert's Sentence Commuted. ( l!y Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, Aug. 17 President Taft has commuted the sentence of dismissal in the court-martial case of Captain Herman A. Seibert, ninth cavalry, to a reduction of 25 files In rank on the lineal list of captains of cavalry. Captain Seibert was charged with iiiiaiiciai irregularities in the pur chase of military suppl es. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Aug. 17 Two men are believed to have been drowned when the big three-masted , schooner Ar lington, bound from Boston to New York, was driven by a terrific wind upon the sands oft Long Beach, Long Island,, today. ' Waves dashed over the entire craft, but two members of the crew of 10, braver than their fellows,, launched a frail raft upon the ploughing seas and tried to make land. In a few moments they had disappeared. ' ' The remainder of the crew, driven upon the bowsprit, clung desperately, while they were lashed by wind and spray and the schooner's hull tremb led beneath them, threatening every minute to go to pieces. Rain was falling in torrents ami the seas were cloaked in the heavy dark ness of a stormy daybreak when the schooner, fleeing before the wind dashed upon the sand. The life-savers along the beach at tempted to launch small boats, but the mountainous waves dashed the little craft hack upon the'beach, while the thunder of the surf told of the grave peril the saviors would have to pass through. As dawn broke It was seen that the schooner had settled In the sand and scores of people gathered upon the beaches, ready to witness, which it seemel, would he the inevitable fate of the Arlington's rre'v. Whipped by the ci'il rain and often submerged completely by ihe billows sweeping in-shore, the crew wan driven higher and higher as th. vessel sank lower i.ito t h j sand. The watchers on the shore expected every moment to see the schooner beaten ssunder and the crew dashed into the sea. It was at this time thai I v. members of the crew wrapped together a few timbers and set themselves adrift. Almost certain death waited them either to remain or flee. Dimly the remaining eight of the crew, lashed to the bowsprit, could be seen watching the course of the raft as it swept from the side of the Arlington Then a big wave hid both raft and schooner from sight and the raft was seen no more. Life-savers tried to shoot a life line, but, in the face of the east wind the line could not be sent more than half the distance to the vessel. Nine Rescued. One man perished and nine were rescued today when the threemasted schooner Arlington, of Boston, bound from New York for Jacksonville, Fla., ran aground off Long Beach in front of the Nassau Hotel. The man drowned was a sailor named Pierson. Frantic with hunger and exhaustion, he leaped from the wrecked schooner on to a large hatch and was carried out to sea. Scores of guests at the hotel saw the eight men rescued from the stranded boat after the life savers from Long Beach and Lookout Point had fought for nearly ten hours to reach the Arlington.
