Favorable progress is also spoken of at other points. Efforts at Conciliation. The efforts at concllatlon with Aguln aldo and his various commissions aro set forth In detail. These commis sioners were assured of the beneflclont purposes of the United States and the president's readiness to grant the Fili pinos as large a measure of home rule and as ample liberty as consistent with the ends of government, "sub ject only to the recognition of the sovereignty of the United States" a point which, being established, the commission invariably refused even to discuss. The commission adds that nothing came of negotiations, as Agulnaldo'n emissaries were without powers and merely came and came again, for in formation. The commission say the primary ob ject of Aguinaldo's struggle is not, as is pretended, the liberty of the Filipino peoples, but the continuance of his own arbitrary and despotic pover. The chapter devoted to "capacity for self government" is tho result the re port states, of diligent inquiry for sev eral months of the course of which a great number of witness worn ex amined of all shnd-is of political thought and varieties -jf occupation, tribe and locality. The most striking and perhaps tho most Elgnlflcant fact in tho entire situation Is tho multiplic ity of tribes Inhabiting the archipelago, the diversity of their languages (which tiro mutually unintelligible) nnd the multifarious phases of civilization ranging all the way from tho highest to the lowest. As to this the report, says: i "The Filipinos are not a nation, but:' . variegated assemblage of different tribes and people: and their loyalty is till of the tribal type." Intellectual Capacities. Concerning their lntollectu.il cnpacl its the commission says: "As to the general intellectual cap icltles of tho Filipino, the commission b disposed to rate them high, but dx- ieptlng In a limited number of i.ersons .hese capacities havu not been dowl iped by education or experience. That ntelllgent public opinion on whl-h, ropnlaj; government reats does not cx st In tho Philippines. Aill it cannot j ixlst until education lias elevated tho ' masses, broadened their lntrtllp-juml ' horizon, and disciplined their faculty of Judgment. And even then tha power . of self government cannot bn assumed without considerable previous training ' mm experience uuuer inn guiuunoe and tutelage of an enlightened and liberal roverehjn power. For the bald fato la that tho Filipinos have never had any experience In governing themselves." The report shows that this Inability for self government Is due to the old Spanish relglme, which gave the Filip inos little op no putt in governing themselves. The most that can bo ex pected of them Is to co-optmito vilth the Americans In thu administration of treneral affairs from Munlla as n cfentro and to undertake, subjut t American control or guidance Oxt may be found . n . n n . . . . . n : k .

Anarchy Threatened. "Should our power by any fatality bo withdrawn, the commission believes tliat the government of tho Philippines would speedily lapse Into anarchy, which would excuse, If It did not neces sitate, tho Intervention of other pow ers and the eventual division of tho Islands among them. Only true Ameri can occupation, therefore, is the Idea of a free, self-governing and united Philippine commonwealth at all con ceivable. The commission witnessed some of tho manv brave deeds of our soldiers, and thev declare that all that skill, courage, and a patient endurance can do, has been done In tho Philippines. They dismiss the reports of the dese cration of churches, the murdering of prisoners and the committing of un mentionable crimes, and say they are glad to express the belief that a war was never more humanely conducted, saying: . "If churches were occupied, It was only as a military necessity, and fre quently after their use as forts by tho Insurgents had made it necessary to train our artillery upon them." The commission gives a general view of the value of the islands, their rich ness in agricultural and forest pro ducts, their mineral wealth, and their commanding geographical position. They statu that the Filipino islands shuuld soon become one of the great centres uf the east. The report concludes: "Our control means to the Inhabitants of the Philip pines Internal peace and order, a guar antee ugalnst foreign aggression and against the dismemberment of their country, commercial and Industrial prosperity and as large n share of the affairs of government as they shall prove lit to take. When peace and prosperity shall have been established throughout the archipelago, when edu cation shall have become general, then In the language of a leading Filipino, his people will, under our guidance, "become more American than the Americans themselves." The report is signed by J. G. Schur mnn. Cieorge Dewey, Charles Denby. Dean C. Worcester. BIDS FOR THE NEW CRUISERS. Board of Construction to ConsMnr Them Before Awards Aro Made Washington, Oct. 2.-The bids for thu six new cruisers opened at the navy department yesterday have been turned over to the hoard of construction, which will pass on the merits of tha offers before the awards aro made. That may take perhaps two weeks. The low price- of some of the bids was tnjher a surmise to tlu- department In view of thu advance in the pilce of material. It was said, however, that as tho vessels aro not to be completed for almost three years tho bidders woro relying on a reduction In the price of material. It Is saUl In the department that probably not more than one boat Is to be allotted to any one blddsr, us that Is tho present policy of the department. Corporations Not In It.

REFORMS DISCUSSED AT WOMN'S CLUB HOUSEHOLD ECONOMICS WA3 THE TOPIC OF THE DAY. Addrossca Dolivorcd by Mm. Mnry A. Jones, of Philadelphia; Mayor James Moir, Dr. J. E. O'Brien, and Dr. Fred Van Sickle Tho principal Talk of tho Afternoon Was As signed to Mrs. Jones, Who Is Presi dent of the Stato Sanitary League. Suggestions Che Made. Tho Women's club, of Green Ridge, is making considerable stir In that portion of the city anil the agitation Is spieadlng faster even than tho con tnglous dlaeases which frequently originate In that vicinity. Yesterdny the section of Household Economics held a ileld day. The nf ternoon was spent In hearing remarks which alternated between descriptions of the horrible sanitary condition of Philadelphia, the perfectly sweet and wholesome stato of Scranton and Its perfectly vile and abomluable plight. There wns a wide range of opinions from which to choose nnd while at times the listeners formed Intentions of going home patting themselves on the head because of the nice things said about their city, there were other times when their noses went up In tho air and they Imagined n de3slcating factory must be In the vicinity. Mrs. C. P. Davidson presided over tho meeting with admirable grace. At her loft was Mrs. Mary A. Jones, of Philadelphia, In a fascinating blue waist adorneu with real lace. At the right gathered around for mutual pro tection were Mayor Moir, Dr. J. n. U'Drien nnd Dr. Fred van Sickle. The remainder of the persons present con sisted of ladles, with tho exception of Rev. Dr. I. J. I.anslng, who was hid den away In a far corner and nearly escaped observation until ho made a telling address ns a finale. MAYOR MOIR SPOKE. Mayor Moir was first lntroeluccd and gave some Interesting facts. "Accord ing to his point of view everything that a reasonable city can possibly re quire Is going to fall to Pcranton's lot In the near future. lie spo.tQ of tno recent decision of the supremo court which states that the city must pay a certain percentage of the cost of a main sewer system nnd also told of the ordinance now to be presented to the common council authorizing bonding tho city for JIMO.OOO to provide tor an Improved sewerage. Ho wished to contradict . the statement sometimes heard that fccranton Is on the veige of bankruptcy. No city of Its size Is In better financial condition. The question of appropriating more money to the sewerage system Is to be submitted to the public nt the polls In February and he urged the Interests of this aggressive body of wo men in Its behalf. As to the water supply he was much Interested In that, since he drinks nothing else. He ad mitted that the Providence water was not as good as it might be. Mrs. Jones, president of the Sani tary league, of Philadelphia, and also of the State league, "was Introduced nnd spoke for a hnlf hour on many subjects of sanitation which these sort eties are taking up. Her description of conditions In Philadelphia struck tho audience as appalling. It seemed not generally realized that 10.000 cases of typhoid fever have flourished In that city during the epidemic and that 2.000 have died all as the result of a leakage In a great and costly Inter cepting sower. She told with humor ous effect of the appeals to the mayor and the political Influence which had prevented applying the appropriation of $3,000,000 which had been previously made toward the Improvement of the system. TO FILTER WATER. Experts have now submitted recom mendations for n filtering process cost ing $12,000,000, which will be submitted to a popular vote on Tuesday next. It is not decided' what system of ni tration may be adopted. The Idea of conveying water from me Delaware Water Gap Is not considered possible at present. In the course of her remarks Mrs. Jones suggested that the vast water supply of Scranton, of which she heard so much, does not necessarily Imply that the water Is pure. Quality, not quantity. Is the requisite. Official Inspection Is what the sani tary league recommends for tho sources of nil water systems, cess pools, pig sties and out-houses on tho banks of tributary streams are the menaces to good health. Other work taken up by the women Is that of protesting against issuing slate pencils in schools for use in com mon nnd also ngalnst the general drinking cup. Cellar Inspections, tho official Inspection of public laundries. Inadequate seating capacity nnd heat ing apparatus In street cars and expec torations In public places aro other branches of work occupying the at tention of the women's organizations. She protested against the masculine method of house-cleaning as exempli fied In the streets, where the next day after these have been swept tho ash man proceeds to go about scattering paper far and wide, or the street cleaning brigade collects heapa of dirt and then leaves the same to be distri buted by the wind. WOMEN I'UGE REFORMS. The women of Philadelphia nre en deavoring to secure legislation to or der the separation of waste paper from the ashes. Carelessness regard ing public funerals where death has been caused by contagious diseases and in the use of school and library books in infected homes was depro c.ited. Finally, was recommended individual rtudy and agitation of the sanitary question. After being told thnt the torough of Dunmoro was responsible lot tho open sewerage In the vicinity of tho library. Mrs. Jones emphati cally remarked: "Worry them, Indies! Remember the linportunnte widow and ogltnte, educate. Gentlemen are gal lur.t. Thoy will accede to your per !rtent demands." Dr. Frederick Van Sickle, president of tho associated board of health .if Lackawanna county, gave an interest ing address. He attributed the pros'int conditions to bo largely due to the apathy of men. He-believed that fil tration could not solvu tho problem of sanitation nnd oncouraged the wo men to continue agitation of the qucs tlons Influencing the public health. Dr. J. E. O'lirh-n then made char acteristic remarks. Ho spoko of tho gloom which settles down upon Eng land becaiiKO of tho awful disaster nt ludysrnltli, but the loss Is but one- tenth that In Philadelphia by typhoid fever from tho pollution of tho water Hiipply. Ho then declared Scranton to be a health resort, with tho best water supply In thu United States, a monument to one man's energy, nnd gave Jocular remlnlsccnscs of hln own experience ns health officer during epidemics of eerobro-spliinl meningitis, smallpox and other unpleasant things of tho past. As a result of his ef forts In preventing the spread of smnlt pox over the county ho was the only health officer who could not be re elected, WORK OF VACCINATION. At his suggestion tho doctors hero vaccinated 7,000 cases that winter, at a cost of about two or thrco cents nplcce. Recently In Pittsburg and Philadelphia tho board of health boast ed of Its cleverness In vaccinating 1,800 cases at a dollar cacti. Ho spoke of the first state hospital for consumptives Just established In Massachusetts us an Indication of pro gress, and closed with thu declara tion that women should have a vote In municipal ana state nffalrs. Rev. Dr. Lansing then made a bright address In which he severely denounced tho I'rovldenco water sup ply and told some thlng3 about the epidemic of diphtheria last year and what he termed the subsequent white washing process observed In the In vestigation. . He considered tho con dition of Philadelphia a national dis grace and entirely npproved of the Idea of official Inspection of water sup plies. As to the city government, he be lieved that It Is usually what the peo ple want no bettor, no worse. When they demand Improved legislation thoy get It. Wo ought to have the best and wo can have It If we use Individual effort. FOR NEW WATER WORKS. Select Councilman Slolvin T.iirps Step3 to Put the City In Fighting Trim Cause of Hl3 Action. Much conjecture wai occasioned in select council lat night bv Mr. Mel vln's Introduction of tho following: Resolved, That the mnynr Is hrrcbv re quested to confer with tho nirirlalsVt the Lackawanna Iron mid Steel companv to ascertain at whnt prloa It will transfer to thp city, Its surveys, maps and fran chises for bringing water Into tho city from the Susquehanna river. It appears that some years ago, when a fight was on between tho Lackawan na Iron and Coal company and the Scranton Gns and Water company, the former projected an Independent water service and wont so far as to survey and map a route lor a pipe lino to tap tho Susquehanna nnd to secure fran chises for establishing and operating the scheme. Mr. Melvin Is now desirous that the city should possess these. Ho feols that the time may come when tho city will neod nn Independent supply as a pro tection against any grasping propen sities that might bo engendered by the Scranton company's knowledge of Its monopoly. This was suggested to Mr. Melvln's mind by the receipt of the following letter: The Scranton Gas nnd Water Co. Scranton, Pa., Oct. 31, 1803. T. C. Melvin, Esq. Dear Sir: On nccount of tho excessive waste of water In this city, the director of this company have decided to put meters on lnrro consumers outside of do mestic conMiniotlen. Please tnko notice that, dating from Nov. 1, ISOO, tho water furnished tho St. Chnrlcs Hotel will be charged for nt tho regular meter rates of this company, a copy of which wo herewith enclose. Yours truly, Jos. Jeffrey. Ass't. Scc'y. The "meter rates enclosed" are as follows: For dally average per month of 10.000 gallons or less. 20 cents per ,0X gallons. For dally average per month of 10,'SJO to 21,000 gallons, 15 conts per 1.C0O gallons. For dally average per month of 20.000 to "O.OOO gallons, 10 cents per 1,001 gallons Fur dally average per month of 20,e00 to ro.coo gallons, S cents per 1,0) gallons. For dally averngo por month of w.ooo gallons or more, (i cents per 1 OW gallons. Index of meters will bo taken monthly, nnd nil dally averages will be computed upon the basis of the number of days In the month, not Including Sundays. The company will furnlHli the uso of meters free of charce. but the cost of .setting the bamo will be charged to tho consumer or owner of the property. Mr. Melvin mndc Inquiries among his neighbors and found that others were complaining. A hotel which was pay ing J2fi0 a year water rent under the, old svstem was recently put under tho meter system nnd for the first three months Its water bill amounted to $110. Mr. Melvin believes this Is excessive nnd proposes to put up a light ugalnst It If he is given any encouragement. Select council unanimously adopted the resolution without comment.
