Visitor to the Philippine eecUon of the
World's Fair won't be charged anything
for admission to the mysterious precincts
of tha people from the Orient.
In the twenty-one acres assigned to the
Philippine Commission, there will be at
least four native villages, to which there
wMl be a charge of admission, besides
about 130 other enterprises, which are com
monly referred to ai concessions, although
they are not concessions 'in the strict
meaning of the term.
A statement by Doctor W. P. Wilson,
World's KUIr Commissioner to the Philip
pines, put an end to the speculation as to
what charges there would be In the Philip
pine division and as. to what Is to be done
with the proceeds.
According to Doctor Wilson there will be
no charge for admission to the main
grounds. A fee will he necessary, however,

After a week of dancing and feasting,

that was almost freerlng, the Filipinos,

The Filipinos didn't object to the work,

necpssary to health and comfort. It wns
upon this point that the members of the
savage tribes felt a bit disconsolate. They
didn't liko tho Idea of wearing clothes.

More Yeius Sharp Tilt With General Grosvcnor, Who At

Washington, April C Folk of St. Louis,
corruption In Missouri and In national
affairs and the steps which havo been
taken In the respective Instances to
uncover this corruption and to punish
the offenders figured prominently in
the political debate In the House of
Representative this afternoon.
Judge DeArmond and General Grosenor
of Ohio were to the fore In the clash, the
one speaking for tho minority and the
other for the majority party.
The debate hinged about the constantly
reiterated Democratic demand and the as
constant Republican denial of a full Inves
tigation by a congressional committee of
the postal frauds.-
The attitude of Republicans, declared
Judge DeArmond, which admits the Post
Office corruption and j et refuses to permit
of an overhauling of that department,
compares very unfavorably with the vigor
ous and thorough methods adopted In
Missouri. In this connection Judge De
Armond asserted that Folk Is "sweeping
all before him."
In the phrase "executive chaos," Judge
DeArmond summarixed the general situa
tion of the Republican party. This inef
fective stato the ilirsourian defined.
OXCE GREAT PARTY.
The Republican party has done great
things," he S3ld, "In this country, part of
them great In beneficial effects and a good
many of them great in their injurious ef
fects. It Is a party that had daring and
that commended Itself to the people of
tho country for many years because It did
do things, because It dared to do things.
Now It Is trying to commend Itself to tho
people of the country because It dares not
do anything except appropriate away tne
people's money and hurry home with the
statement that by and by. In their own
good time, these rcprescntatU es of a once
valiant but now decadent party will do
this, that or the other thing which thty
assumo ought to be done.
"Who of you Is It that will predict what
tho President will do If given four years
In his own right at the White Houo?
Who of you Is It that will dare to enter
the field of prediction and say that ho
will not do or say anything that he will
not do If given four jcarn In his own
right up there?
BOISTEROUS APPLAUSE.
Applause of the most enthusiastic de
scription was accorded each spalcer from
his party supporters. So boisterous were
tho bursts of approval on tho Republican
side when a point was scored by General
Grosvenor, that tho fact loomed up In
sharp contrast with the apathetic recep
tion of the General's concluding remarks.
This conclusion, as a sort of clincher
to Republican argument, was designed for
a glowing eulogy of President Roosevelt,
attack on whom is one essential feature
of the Democratic position. The Presi
dent's record was expounded, analyzed,
eulogized. But tho applauding from Gen
oral Grosvenofs colleagues was pitiably
weak and disinterested. Neither did the
rpeaker warm to tthc subject with his
wonted vigor. HoWever, ho did inject
somo oratorical force and l"d up with a
thow of fire to such declarations as this:
' "I point to Theodore Roosevelt as the
highest type of American."
Not a hand did this statement receive.
"I defy anybody to assail th public acts
or the private character of the President."
Only faint approval from Congressmen,
though many of tho large audience in the
galleries were tremendously demonstra
tive. ANTE-ELECTION FARCE.
Judge De Armond began by denouncing
the tegular unteelcctlon farce tho do-
nothing Congress.
'The policy of the party In power has
been," he said, "from the commencement
ot this session, not to deal with the
things which, In the condition of the coun
try, and which, I believe. In the Judgment
of the majority of tho people, call for
treatment and solution."
POSTAL SCANDALS.
'"If the gentleman will tell what Is
the reason that prevents an Investigation
ot the Post-Ofllce Department, I do not
believe that he would enlighten the coun
try, because I bcllevo the country knows
already, but we would appreciate his dis
closure. (Laughter.) As has been said, an
"open confession Is good for the soul,' and
he might, as the spokesman of his fel
lows, tell what they fear of an Investiga
tion. He can do It and won't do it. Of
course, when I say that I mean that he
cannot afford to do It.
"How are they dealing out In our own
State of Missouri -with this subject of an
investigation, this subject of misfeasance
and malfeasance In office?

surprising alike to friend and foe. Why?
Because in the crisis of affairs there,
when St. Louis was reeking with munici
pal corruption, he was the man. placed by
chance and fortuno in a position to prose
cute, who pursued the evil-doer, no mat
ter who he was. no matter what Influ
ences were behind him, no matter
what the power clustered about him;
pursued steadily and prosecuted impartial
ly and proclaimed in deeds which speak
much louder than words, the emphasis
of which Is very much more powerful,
that corruption In ofllce must cease; that
those elected to discharge public duties
must discharge them with a fair degree
of honesty and efficiency; and that those
found corrupt, those who get ofllce and
the emoluments of office to betray and
plunder the people, must be hunted across
party lines, that thy must be hunted out
of whatever party they belong to. and. Ir
respective of party, must be driven to

Tho victory of Neff was expected, oning
to the split In the Democratic party, but
there was cenuine sur rle at tho strvngth
of the union labor vote which was polled.

fathered and supported, from being elect

repaid the Shelley m"n for their own re
ruUe. and they are claiming a victory to
night.
The claim Is that when Major Reed
goes out cf odlce on April KJ, and with him
about 900 Democrats who are now keeping
steam up In his gubernatorial machine, he
will be unhursed.
DOCKERY AND FOLK ON SCENE.
Mr. Folk and Governor Dockcry are
both here to-night watching the returns.
The Governor attributed the loss cf the
Democratic party to the Shelley spilt only.
Mr. Folk went further, and asserted that
it was clearlj a ribuke to Mayor Reed,
as the Major had directly appealed to the
voters during th- three week. he has
nightly campaigned, to vote for the Kem
per ticket, in his own behalf as well as
for Mr. Kemper.
The day was marked by th' be-t rou
ble behavior of th ixllee. In not an in
stance was there any recourse to force on
their part. Only two Instances of club
bing were reported, and each of them wns
warranted.
HEAVY VOTE POLLED.
The morning vote In the city election
to-day was the heaviest that has ever
ben cast in Kansas Citj-. There may
have been proportionate- heavier votes.
.burthe number of voters Is much greater
than ever before, and the' way thej- turned
out this morning surprised tho politicians.
Men who arj usually good authority on
these things estimated that by noon there
were 1S.0OO to 2M09 ballots already In the
boxes. Thej- were guessing that 3S.C0O or
more ballos would bo cast to-dav- unless
jthere should bo a heavj- rain toward even
ing.
'At the poolrooms during the forenoon the
betting lagged. At noon most of the bets
posted were offers to take the Republican
end. They Included wich bets as 129 to Jot)
that Neff would beat Kemper more than
2.S0O fbtes; JIM to 70 Neff beats Kemper,
even money thiee candidates In tho race
get more votes than Sloan.
There wore many watching tho board,
but very few offered to accept anj- of the
propositions. An offer to bet ISO against
J100 that Joseph W. Folk is the next Gov
ernor of Missouri caused a smile, but r.o-bodj-
wanted It.

CIII OWNERSHIP
WHS IT CHICAGO,
Vote in Favor of Acquiring Street
Railways Is Apparently
Overwhelming.
REPUBLICANS HOLD COUNCIL
Son of Ambassador McCorniiek Is
Elected Alderman in Fash
ionable Ward Over Grand
son of the Late Joseph
Medill.
RFPfRLIC PPnCIAU
CTiicago, April 5. Chicago -voters went
on record to-day In favor of ultimate mu
nicipal ownership of the street railways.
The referendum question on this subject
carried at the city election by a large ma
jority. The vote seems nearly three to one
In the affirmative.
By similar votes the other propositions
carried. These are:
That tho City Council. Instead of grant
ing any franchise?, should proceed at once
under the city police powers and other
existing laws, to license the street railway
companies until municipal ownership can
be secured and compel the companies to
give satisfactory service.
Second, that the Board of Education
should be elected by popular vote instead
of by appointment by the Mayor.
One of the street railway propositions
was that the so-called Mueller act passed
by the last Legislature, authorizing cities
to acquire, own anil operate street rall
vrajs. should be adopted and put In force.
This proposition WJ3 generally Indorsed by
the press on the expectation that Its car
rjlng would strengthen the city In its ne
gotiations with tho existing companies
and would commit the city to the policy of
"ultimate ownership."
Another street railway proposition
adopted is that tho City Council, upon the
adoption ot the Mueller law, should pro
ceed vvitho-t delay to acquire ownership
of the street railways under the powers
conferred by the Mueller law.
R. R. McCormlck, son of Ambassador
McCormick, representative of this country
at St. Petersburg, was elected Alderman
In the Twenty-flrs-t Ward by a plurality
of 381 votes. Society of this fashionable
aard made a vigorous fight for the grand
son of the late Joseph Medlll.
Ringer, "Doc" Jamieson's candidate in
the Biith Ward, was snowed under by E.
C. Potter, by 1,207 votes. Stanley Kunz,
agalrst whom a hard fight was made In
tho Sixteenth Ward, pulled through easily.
Peter Relnberg, the "Carnation" candi
date of the Tncnty-slxth Ward, won an
easy victory.
"Bath House" John Coughlan of First
Ward fame, had no trouble in getting
back for another term.
COUNCIL REPUBLICAN.
Of the thlrty-nve Aldermen elected,
eighteen nre Republican, sixteen Demo
crats and one independent Republican.
The next Council will stand thlrty-slx Re
publicans, thirty-one Democrats, one In
dependent Democrat, one independent Re
publican and one Socialist.
"The result of the vote simply shows
how strong the popular feeling In behalf
of municipal ownership Is." says Mayor
Harrison. "More than anything else It
shows public criticism of the wretched
car service that the corporations have
given Chicago for the last four or five
years. The people are willing to try mu
nicipal ownership, at any risk. It Is now
the duty of advocates of Immediate mu
nicipal ownership to show us how we
can securel t. TTie vote on municipal
ownership is evidently due to the belter
of voters that the whole Mueller law waa
In question and so affirmative."
