Slum the Work Which la
Cut Out for It.
New York, March 8. A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says
that renewed interest in the situation
in the Philippines is awakened by the
•establishment at Manila of the civilian
members of the commission which has
been designated by the president to
represent him in the archipelago. The
speculation regarding the duties of this
commission and the authority it will
have in the colonial government are set
at rest by the publication of the order
issued by the president to the secre
tary of state. It will be noted that the
military government of the inlands
nnder Gen. Otis will be continued with
out interference until congress makes
other provision and that the commis
sion's powers, while important, are
largely advisory. The order says:
"In order to facilitate the most humane,
.specific and effective extension of authori
ty throughout these islands and to secure
with the least possible delay the benefits
of a wise and generous protection of life
and property to the inhabitants. I have
named Jacob G. Schurman, Rear Admiral
George Dewey, Maj. Gen. Elwell S. Otis,
Charles Denby and Dean C Worcester to
constitute a commission to aid in the ac
complishment of these results.
"In the performance of this duty the com
missioners are enjoined to meet at the
earliest possible day in the city of Manila
and to announce by a public proclamation
their presence and ihe mission intrusted
to them, carefully setting forth that, while
the military government alruady pro
claimed is to be maintained and continued
jso long as necessity may r< quire, efforts
will be made to alleviate the burdens of
taxation, to establish industrial av.it com
mercial prosperity, and to provide for the
safety of persons and of property by such
means as may be found conducive to the'-.e
ends.
"The commissioners will endeavor, with
out Interference with the military authori
ties of the United States now in control
of the Philippines, to ascertain what
amelioration in the condition of the inhab
itants and what improvements in public
order may be practicable, and for this pur
pose they will study attentively the ex
isting social and political slate of the vari
ous populations, particularly as regards
the form of local government, the adminis
tration of justice, the collection of customs
and fether taxes, the means of transporta
tion and the need of public improvements.
"They will report through the state de
partment, according to the forms custom
ary or hereafter prescribed for transmit
ting and preserving such communications,
the results of their observations and re
flections and w ill recommend such execu
tive action as may from time to time seem
to them wise and useful.
"The commissioners are hereby author
ized to confer authoritatively with any per
sons resident in the islands from whom
they may believe themselves able to de
rive information or suggestions valuable
for the purposes of their commission, or
whom they may choose to employ as
agents, as may be necessary for this pur
pose.
"The temporary government of the Is
lands is intrusted to the military authori
ties and will continue until congress shall
determine otherwise. The commission may
render valuable services by examining with
special care the legislative needs ot the
various groups of inhabitants and by re
porting, with recommendations, the meas
ures which should be Instituted for the
maintenance of order, peace and public
welfare, either as temporary steps to be
taken immediately for the perfection of
present administration, or as suggestions
for future legislation.
"In so far as immediate personal changes
in the civil administration may seem to be
advisable the commissioners are empow
ered to recommend suitable persons for
appointment to these offices from among
the inhabitants of the islands who have
previously acknowledged their allegiance
to this government.
"It is my desire that in all their relations
with the inhabitants of the islands the
commissioners exercise due respect for all
the ideals, customs and institutions of the
tribes and races which compose the pop
ulation, emphasizing upon all occasions the
just and beneficent intentions of the gov
ernment of the United States."
WU TING FANG PLEASED.

of United State* to Keep
Hand** Off.
Washington, March 8. —The Chinese
minister, Mr. Wu Ting Fang, expresses
himself as highly gratified at the def
inite determination of the United
States to keep its hands off China and
to resist the intimations of other pow
ers that the time is ripe for this coun
try to take for itself a part of the
coast line of China, as made known by
an authorized statement given out Mon
day. He said:
"I am sure the Chinese government and
people will not fail to observe this strong
evidence of good will. It is not only anoth
er bond between the two countries, but it
has a special significance just now. \Wiile
the old world powers seem moved by ra
pacity, the United States takes that lofty
position of equity, justice and humanity
which has characterized her dealings with
other international questions of late, and
instead of joining in encroachments on
China, assumes an attitude of strict neu
trality."
Austin lliriwell llenri.
Butte, Mont., March S.—Austin Bid
veil, one of the men who became fa
mous through the Bank of England
forgeries, died here Tuesday night in
his room in the Mantle block. The
cause of death was given as grippe, lie
was 02 years of age and a native of Chi
cago, to which place his body will be
taken, for burial. The story of the Bid
wells is pretty well known. By means
of forged securities in IST.'i they got
$5,000,000 from the Bank of England,
after victimizing other banks in I' ll rope
by means of forged letters of credit.
Their idea was to g*"t $."<0,000,000 and
then compromise with the bank. In
the big game they failed and fled,
fleorge Bidwell was caught in France
and Austin Bidwell in Cuba. They were
tried and given life sentences with
their two confederates. After 20 years
they were released.

Strain Tell* on Dewey.
New York. March O.—A dispatch to
the li>rald from Manila says that Gen.
Hale determined Wednesday morning
to clear away the enemy from the front
of the right of his wing.
The gunboat Laguna tie Ray, under
Maj. G rant, began shelling the enemy's
position. Two companies of the Twen
tieth infantry and three companies of
the First Nebraska, under Col. Staten
burg, swung in from the road- to the
waterworks, driving the insurgents to
ward the Pasig river.
The First Wyoming advanced direct
ly on the insurgent position in front.
Meanwhile the Laguna. de l!ay pounded
the foe from the river.
Thus taken on three sides, the insur
gents, after tome resistance, were
driven back.
Capt. .1. D. OTtrien. of the First Wy
oming. was shot in the wrist, and Maj.
Hell, of the bureau of information, was
slightly wounded. Complete reportsof
the wounded are not yet in.
Gen. Hale estimates the enemy's loss
at 250.
At the time of sending this dispatch,
the Wyoming troops occupied an ad
vanced position.
The insurgents opened fire across the
river from Guadoloupe, killing Private
Love joy, of company C, First Washing
ton.and wounding two others.
The insurgents have been concen
trating to the east of the city and will
probably try an attack from that side.
Their principal object is to cut off the
water supply of Manila.
The American positions are strong,
and the attempts will be futile.
The insurgent losses have been se
vere the'last few days.
The Madrid, authorities have offered
Aguinaldo a ransom of 91,000 for each
j officer, SIOO each for the privates ftnd
! SSOO for each civil servant. They have
not offered to ransom the priests.
Aguinaldo declaves that he has pnid
filibusters $700,000 and has received
only 500 rifles and 2,000.000 rounds of
ammunition. The filibusters say
I the rest have been captured, but prob
j ably they were never bought.
Washington. March 0. —The navy de
j partment is informed that the cruiser
j Baltimore and the monitor Monterey.
! which have been in dock at Hong-Kong,
have arrived at Manila.
Vancouver. li. C., March Capt.
Fraser, of London, late of the British
imperial forces, arrived Wednesday di
dect from Manila, where he had the
honor of dining with Admiral Dewey.
Capt. Fraser said:
"The war at Manila will have to end soon
or the life of the great American admiral
will be worth nothing I dined with him at
Manila within a month, and am convinced
that if he is not relieved of the terrible
strain imposed upon him he cannot last a
month longer. As he sat at the banquet
table, surrounded by his staff, he looked 1 to
me like a dying man. His hair is snowy
white, his face ashen, and he ate hardly
anything. I had the pleasure of a few min
utes' conversation with him when we re
ared to the smoking-room. Having in
mind his enfeebled appearance, I asked him
if he thought of returning to America soon.
•' 'I would like to, but my work is by no
means finished here. When it is, and only
then, will I return '
"I am thoroughly convinced that only
the admiral's indomitable will has kept
him up so long. The strain on hint is ter
rible, and the climatic conditions have re
duced him to a shadow. His officers and
men worship him. As an English officer,
and knowing the magniflcient work he has
done, I have the greatest admiration for
him.
"One of his officers said to me just before
I left Manila: "The war will be ended by
the admiral soon, or it will end him f?o
man can stand such a strain as he does in
this climate and live long.' "

Swc'iii by a Tidal Wave.
Victoria, 15. C., March 9.—According
to news received from the Corean capi
tal by the K. M. S. Empress of India
that country has had mile after mile
of its shore devastated by a terrible
storm that was followed by a tidal wave
in the opening week of February. On
the southwest and west coast the sea
carried away acre after acre of the
wooden buildings of the natives. Many
thousands of lives were lost. The vil
lage of Kungsan was perhaps the great
est sufferer. At Chemulpo the harbor
is strewn with wreckage of countless
sampans and junks and many hundreds
of boilers have been washed ashore.

State Convention.
Kalamazoo, Mich., Marcli o.—Thomas
E. Barkworth, a leading: attorney of
.Jackson, was nominated Wednesday
afternoon by the democratic state con
vention for justice of the supreme
court. He received 452 of the 772 dele
gates' votes cast on the first ballot, and
it was made unanimous. The contest
\v;is wholly between Mr. Barkworth
and ex-Justice Allan B. Morse, the
four other candidates having' with
drawn before the first ballot was com
pleted. Prior to the convention it was
asserted, and denied, that Judge
Morse's sympathies in the last presi
dential campaign were with the gold
standard democracy, and this is be
lieved to have affected the result.
Other Nominee*.
All the elements of silver fusion were
well represented among the delegates,
and the nominations for regents of the
state university were given to Edward
F. Legendre (dem.), of Calumet, and
Stanley E. Park hill (pop.), of Owosso.
Hon. Justin R. Whiting, of St. Clair,
late fusion candidate for governor, was
the temporary chairman. His address
was a strongly-put argument for free
silver, an arraignment of republican
policies and condemnation of the en
croachments of trusts and combines.
Ex-Judge John Miner, of Detroit, was
made permanent chairman.
The report of the resolutions com
mittee was greatly delayed by discus
sion of a resolution offered by Fred A.
Baker, of Detroit, indorsing the Hill
amendment to the Chicago platform to
the effect that the free coinage of silver
at 1 lie ratio of sixteen to one should
not apply to existing contracts. This
amendment was presented to the con
vention as a minority report and was
tabled.
Tlie RpMOlntlnnN.
A synopsis of the resolutions adopted
follows:
They reaffirm the Chicago platform, pro
test against retirement of treasury rotes,
denounce trusts, demand an amendment
to the constitution making an income tax
possible, favor equal taxation of all prop
rrty in the state; declare for disposition of
the colonies for the best interests of the
piople: protest against a large standing
irmy unci navy, and congratulate the par;y
on having the leadership of Col. Bryan.
The plank upon trusts says: "We believe
the greatest menace at the present time to
American civilisation and to the industries
and political liberty of tlie people consists
in the growing tendency to place the busi
ness of the country in the hands of com
binations and trusts: and we denounce the
gold trust, money trust, sugar trust, oil
trust, match trust, tobacro trust and every
other trust, having for Its object the con
trol of production and prices: and we sub
mit as our candid opinion and deliberate
judgment that a graduated federal and
state income tax would furnish effective
means of suppressing trusts. We request
Immediate passage of an income tax meas
ure by the state legislature."
The plunk upon expansion says: "We are
in favor of making such disposition of ter
ritory brought into the possession or under
the control of the United States in the war
with Spain as shall best promote the in
terests and secure the welfare of the Amer
ican people, and that to advance the cause of
civil and religious freedom, a government
should be established in the islands having
for its fundamental principles self-govern
ment for the people."

New York. March 9.—Paymaster Gen
eral Carey. I • S. A., visited the sub
treasury Wednesday and presented a
warrant for $3,000,000, drawn on that
department at Washington. The money
will be drawn from the subtreasury and
shipped to Cuba, where it will be used
to pay off the Cuban troops, in accord
ance with an agreement. For obvious
reasons Gen. Carey does not care to
state just when the money will be
shipped to Cuba, nor will he give the
name of the ship that will carry it.
Gen. Carey has been directed by the war
department to take charge of the
money until it is turned over to Gen.
Brooke at Havana. Gen. Carey will be
accompanied by a detachment of regu
lars. who will guard tine money on its
way to Cuba. Fully half of the $3,000,-
000 will consist of live-dollar gold
pieces, with 1,000,000 standard silver
dollars. The balance will be made up
of subsidiary coin, including nickels.
The money will be packed in small safes
and strong boxes.
Havana, March 9.—Gen. Maximo
Gomez had a two-hours' conference
with Gov. Gen. Brooke Wednesday re
garding the details of the payment to
the Cuban army of the $3,000,000 ten
dered by the United States as a condi
tion of disbandment. He is working in
good faith and expects to disband the
tro®ps with or without the consent of
the disaffected elements. He is making
an excellent impression upon the
United States military authorities here,
and they confidently believe that he
will be able to make good his agree
ment with Robert P. Porter, President
McKinley's representative. It is said
that the distribution of the cash will
begin in the course of a fortnight at
the latest.

the Texas legislature had the liveliest
kind of a row over the consideration
of the house resolution endorsing Con
gressman Bailey in his action in light

in congress, adopted by the house Mon
day. An attempt was made to kill the
resolution by referring it to a commit
tee which was defeated by a close vote
—l3 to 14. An amendment was then
adopted providing that the adoption of
the resolution should not be construed
as a refleetiou on Congressman Joe

BERESFORD'S WARNING.
SnjH Wnr Will Kc.hiili I iilcnk "Open
Door" Policy wlili deference to
i liinu Ik Adhered To.
London, March 9. —Rear Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford, who has just
completed his tour of the world in the
interests of the associated chambers
of commerce of Great Britain, in an
interview reiterated his well-known
views .hi the subject oft he "open door"
in China as being the only possible
policy of Great i'ritain. In so doing
he said it was impossible to estimate
the importance of the Chinese market,
a single province of which, in his opin
ion, was worth the whole of Africa
from a commercial point, of view. The
admiral also said that there will be war
unless the "open door" policy is ad
hered to and he asserted that American
trade in China is progressing by leaps
and bounds, proportionately much
faster than that of Great Britain.
Lord Beresford, in an interview pub
lished in the Daily Mail, insisted that if
all the powers began grabbing land in
China it could only result in quarrels
and war. He continued:
"It Is absolutely necessary to keep China
on her feet. Better stand up now for the
'open door' than venture upon the danger
ous course of spheres of influence. I do
not suggest a eut-and-drted alliance. I do
not think America would join such an al
liance. Hut America. Kngland. Germany
and Japan might agree to work together to
maintain the 'open door ' Of the six men
who direct China's policy, four have never
been outside of Peking, I.i Hung Chang
has no real power. The empress dowager
Is the real power, and a very clever woman.
She signs the popular edicts herself, and
makes the emperor sign the unpopular
ones. The provincial rulers are more pro
gressive than those at Peking. They favor
the 'open door' policy, and only want to
save China's face, but they think we are
afraid of Russia. We must help stiffen
China, which will not be a difficult task."
Rome, March 9.—The Tribuna says
' it learns that the Chinese government
has offered to send to the Italian min
ister, Sig. Martino, a written apology
through Sir Claude Mac Donald, British
! minister at Peking, for the terms in
which the tsung-li-yamen couched
China's refusal to grant the concession
recently demanded by Italy of San Mun
bay, province of Che Kia.ng, to be used
as an Italian naval base and coaling
station.
London, March 9.—The Peking corre
spondent of the Times says the Chinese
are discussing the advisability of mak
ing San Mun an open port, so as to
evade Italy's demand for a concession.
nong-Kong, March 9.—The New
York Journal correspondent cables:
It is reported here .that the latest ag
gressions of Italy in attempting to
seize San Mun bay have seriously
alarmed the imperial government at
Peking. The empress dowager and the
tsung-li-yamen fear that this is the be
ginning of a concerted attempt on the
part of the powers of Europe to dis
member the Chinese empire. Strenu
ous efforts will lie made by the imperial
government to prevent such action
and appeal will be made to disin
terested powers fur help. It is re
ported that China has already appealed
to the United States government.
Vancouver, B. C., March 9.—Advices
from China by steamer Empress of
Japan state that Li Bung Chang, who
has recently been busily occupied in
determining and preparing for the con
struction of Yellow river works in Shan
Tung province, has been ordered by an
imperial edict of the empress dowager
to return post-haste to Peking. It is
stated that this step is due to the un
certainty of foreign and palace poli
tics at present, nnd the empress dow
ager appears to wish to have her old
adviser by her side when the occasion
arises.

Ilarris'burg, Pa., March 10.—-O. A.
Jctiks, the democratic caucus nominee
for I'uited States senator, was an in
terested spectator at last night's ses
sion of the bribery investigation com
mittee. (ieorge No\ McCain of the
Philadelphia Press was recalled and
testified that Representative Sylvester
5. Smith, of <' imeron, told him he had
been offered $-.">1) to vote to reconsider
the vote by which the MeCarrell bill
had been postponed by the house until
March 21. T! i.„. .l- of the party mak
ing the offer w.is n. • developed.
Representative Miller, of Northamp
ton, repeated his allegation that Rep
resentative Spatz. of Berks, had told
him there was SSO in it for signing the
paper in the hands of ex-Senator < oyle,
of Philadelphia, to stand by Jenks for
senator, and that afterwards Mr, Spatz
offered him SIOO.
Mr. Miller produced a small memor
andum book from which he read the
following: "On January 25, 1899, of
fered by Spatz SSO to lleil and Miller;
later SIOO. Coyle on the evening of
the same date to sign my name to pa
per pledging support to democratic
nominee and binding myself to do so."
Miller said there was a general un
derstanding with Coyle and Spatz that
certain legislation was to be support
ed, for which money would be divided
"among the boys."
Representative Johnston, of North
ampton, said he had a conversation
with Coyle just prior to the house
democratic caucus to consider the Mc-
Carrell bill, in which Coyle said: "You
help us out and I'll see you right after."
"What do you understand Coyle
meant by that," Mr. Johnston was
asked.
"I thought if we would stand by
him he would give me some money."
Shutter iijkl oil* to be Promoted,
Washington, March 10.—The presi
dent has made up the list of the gen
eral officers to be retained in the vol
unteer branch of the service. The
basis of the calculations is an army of
6.),000 men. The reorganization act
limits the number of major generals to
be appointed to one for each 12,000 men
and the brigadier generals to one for
every 4.000 men in actual service. On
this basis, as there are already three
major generals in the army in the per
sons of (lens. Miles, Brooke and Mer
ritt, there is room for but two more. To
til! these two places the president has
selected Gen. Shatter and Gen. Otis,
now in command at Manila.
