By Extimite Win from The Associated I'icm.
Washington, Jan. 25. The president
today transmitted to tho senate a re
port of the secretary of war, enclosing
tho report of the Tuft Philippine com
mission. In his message of transmit
tal the president says the report In-cliidi-s
not only the reports of the com
mission, but Its acts of legislation ".ml
other Importnnt Information relating
to the conditions and Immediate wants
of tho Philippine islands."
"'onclitdlng, tho president says:
' I earnestly recommend legislation
under which the government of the
Islands may havi- authority to assist
In their peaceful Industrial develop
nient in tho directions Indicated by tho
secretary of war."
Secretary Hoofs letter of transmittal
Is dated January 21, addressed to the
president, and Is, in part, mi follows:
"I beg leavu to supplement my an
nual report of November SO, WOO, by
tiniiMulttlng a report made by the
7'lilllpplno commission on that date,
but only recently received al the war
(1 Sartment. At the same time. I wish
n call uttenetlon to some conditions
existing in the Philippine Islands which
Indicate that tho development of that
ooutnry along tho lines of peaceful In
dustrial progress now requires the ex
orcise of power of civil government
not vested In this department, or In
you n.s military coinmnmlor, but re
quiring a i;rant of authority fiom the
congress.
"The commission gives a gratifying
account of the progress made In tho
paciflcatlou of the country nnd the
gradual subhid6nco or guerilla warfare.
Information received subsequent to the
date of tho report confirms tho favor
able anticipations of the commission.
A peiiional letter received by me fran
Judge Tnft, dated December 11. 1000,
says :
Insurgents Take Oath.
"Sim e writing yon about threu
thousand insurgents In Illeocos Norte
have surreniiered and ton thousand
persons who were not well affected
lovards us In Panay have taken the
oath of allegiance.
"I have already received two papers
from native priests, eighteen in num
br, and I am told that there will bo
a great many other papers signed by
n great many more native priests,
tendering their allegiance to the Uni
ted tSates and promising fidelity with
out mental reserve. The native priests
are those who have held out longest
in favor of the Insurgents uud against
the Americans, and I deem this action
ns of great Importance. Tho army Is
hitting small but hard knocks against
the insurgents everywhere. Since
tho election" there has been n gtvat
falling off in tho activity of tho insur
gents In agrcsslvuness.

Conditions Improving.
A dispatch from Judge Taft, dated
Jnn, 0, 1901, says;
"Conditions rapidly Improving. Itl
tles, ollicers, privates ure being cap
tured or Kurrendlng dally In consider
able numbers In North nnd South Ut

more than 35,000 havo taken tho oatli of

lonar uncontested occupation of interior

paign. Campaign In Hamnr has driven
fctnda Into I.eyte, producing disturb
ance, but Information is that condi
tions there are favorable. Federal
party for peace: direct result of elec
tions. Well organized nnd rapidly in
creasing In '.Manila; preparing to ex
tend organization to mnny provinces
and pressing nnd numerous Invitations
from leading citizens."
The report shows that the Islands
aro estimated to contain about 73,000.
000 acres of land, of which less than
five million aro held In private owner
ship. More permanent laws than the
military government can supply aro
needed.
The section of the report on the li
quor trafllc in Manila Indicates that the
powers of the commission are ample,
to deal with that subject and that the
success which they have attained will
compare favorably with tho results In
this country. Many false und mislead
ing statements have been made re
garding the use of Intoxicating li
quors In Manila. Tho fact a that this
trallllc Is more rigidly nnd effectively
reguluted and kept with botmda In the
city of Manila than In any city of sim
ilar or greater size in the United
States.
"Acting upon that clnute of your In
structions which vestrf In the Philip
pine commission authority to exercise,
subject to your approval, through tho
war department, that part of your mil
itary uuthorlty which Is legislative In
Its character, tho commission has
adopted regular methods of legislative
procedure. I venture to express the
hope that nn examination of theso
acts, as well as the reading of the re
port will carry to your mind, as It
has to mine, the conviction that the
commission me proceeding In accord
ance with tho high spirit of your in
structions and with zeal and discre
tion nre pi easing forwards with all
pratlcable speed the establishment of
civil government in conformity to
American Institution; nnd In fulfill
ment of our duty to tho people of the
Philippine islands.
Concerning Liquor Traffic.
Appended to tho secretary's report
arc .several cables concerning tho
liquor trallie, which tend to show a.
marked improvement in tho conduct
of that trntllc.
The report Itself Is a very volumi
nous production, divided Into many
hends. exhibiting the progress, made
by the commission In carrying out its
plans for the Americanization of the
Islands. A particularly Interesting
section of the report Introducing the
whole subject of Philippine relations,
deals with military and political con
ditions, the effect of the American
elections, and legislative procedure
nnd nets. The commission says that
examinations of many witnesses as
to the form of government best adpted
to thej-e inlands and satisfactory to
the ptople, show that the misses of
the people are Ignorant, credulous and
chlld-llko and that under any govern
ment the electoral franchise mu3t bo
limited. beause tho large majority
will not. for ;i long time, bo oapnbie
of intelligently exercising It.
Tho commission, In one part of its
it-port, .says:
"Prom nil the information we .an
get, it seems clear that a great major
ity of tho people long for peaco and
are entirely willing to accept tho es
tablishment of a government under the
supremacy of the United States. They
are. however, restrained by fear from
taklnif any action to assist tho sup
pression of the Insurrection. Any one
suspected of giving Information to the
Americans concerning tho Insurgents
is Immediately marked for assassina
tion." And continuing, adds:
Effect of American Election.
"Any statement of the conditions
prevailing In the Islands during tho
last Mx mouths, which Ignores the ef
fect of the American election as a con
trolling element In the idtuatlon, Is
necessarily Inadequate. Since the re
sult was announced, there has been a
gieat decrease In Insurgent nctlvlty.
From now on, conditions In these
Islands will grow steadily better."
One of the longest chapters in tho
report and on of tho most absorbing
interest concerns the friars In the
Philippines.
Tho commission handles this subject
in the greatest detail and with the
.utmost freedom. It gives the history
of tlu- expulsion of theso friars from
their placoH by tho rebels, and declares
that the burning question agitating1
the Filipinos is whether they shall bo
permitted to return. The commission
listened to nil sldos, Including the
archbishop of Manila himself, a friar,
and the church brought forward by
him. Laymen, ollicers, newspaper cor
respondents and others had their
bunco to testify upon this sublcct.
Th" commission says that the friar
was the embodiment of all authority,
governmental as well as religious, In
his locality, and that not a rlngle func
tion of government could be pet formed
without his assistance and participa
tion. Ab to the mooted question of tho im
morality of tlio frlut'H tlie commission
says that the evidence on this head
is so strong that It seems to establish
clearly that thero were enough in
stant es In each province to give con
siderable ground for tha general report.
That suoh Immorality should exist
among tho friars. It says, 1.4, however,
not strange In view or tho fact that
many of them came from tho Ignorant
peasantry of Andalusia and were not
by training fitted to resist temptation.
Put Immorality on the part of the
friars, It is held, was not the principal
ground for tho hostility towards them
of the people. Tho commission says:
"It did not knock thu common people
or nrouso their Indignation to see their
curato establish Illicit rrlotlons with a
woman and havo children by her. Tho
woman did not lose casto on that ac
count, but often prided herself on the
relation to the chief authority In the
village. Of course, thero may
have been Instances In which a friar
used his autocratic power to ostub
lish a relation of this kind against the
will of tho woman and her relatives
and these cusos havo lont themselves
to deepen tho colors of the lurid and
somewhat over-drawn pictures painted
by tho nntl-frlar writers."

South McAllister, 1. T.. Jun. 23.
There were no developments In tho
threatened Choctaw uprising today.
Several deputies came in this morning
and reported the Indians quiet. One
said their plans had been given away
by somebody and they were going to
make new ones today. The arrival of
the troops in the territory nnd the
prompt measures taken by tho govern
ment In the northern district to sup
press the Snakes have been reported
to the Choctaw faction und have hail
the effect of dampening enthuslnsm.
It Is reported that there will be a big

placo is kept a secret. No uneasiness
Is felt among the whites anywhere In
the Choctaw nation.

BUSINESS DEALINGS
Heavy Trade in Pig Iron Dullness
in Woollen doods Failures
for the Week.
Ily Kxi'lnMte Who hum '1'ne Aitoaited l're.
Now York. Jan. 2.".. It. (!. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomor
row will say:
Barely has there been more business
In staples and in manufactured goods,
at practically unchanged prices, than
during the period since November 1.
Tills week pectus to havo marked the
climax of enormous denllngs at figures
which have become familiar. The heavy
trade In pig iron at better prices, the
larger distribution of dry goods at a
firmer range of quotations, und the
rusli to secure prompt delivery of boots
and shoes, all indicate that business
may havo escnped one of those weary
readjustments of prices which have
often ptoved so tryng In recent years.
After a week of quiut conditions,
partly due to uncertainty regarding
competition -among leading Interests,
the Iron and steel Industry has taken
another long stride forward. The fea-
- - --.- .-..
U,IIJ was enormous buyhig of pig Iron-
it an advanco of $13.23, nt Pittsburg.
This sudden activity in tho law ma
teria! removed fe ,.lint stocks ml'ht
be accumulating at furnaces and gave
some Idea of the heavy contracts for
finished pioducts taken 1y the mills.
In some directions thero Is less foreign
Inquiry, ulthough an unusually heavy
shipment of billets went to (Jlaagow,
and exports of rails have not ceased.
Freight latcs to tho scientist are still
considered excessive by manufacturers,
and there is more inclination to uush
domestic business on thin account. Ar
bitration Is expected to prevent sus
pension of work at tho furnaces, where
a strike was threatened on February
1. Pooling of coke Interests outside the
Coniiellsvllle region Is being discussed,
but tho quality has always been In
ferior and sales only effected at con
cessions. Further Improvement is seen in foot
wear, and manufacturers are receiving
ample orders.
Tt Is diflleult to find encouraging fca
tures in the wool situation. Dulluess
in woollen goods Is the difficulty, nnd
while the manufacture in depressed,
there Is little encouragement for the
raw material.
Despite tho advance In prices over
those prevailing a year ago, exports of
wheat. Including flour, from Atlantic
ports for the week worn 2,36S,81S bush
els, against l,il 1,149 last year, and of

In WOO. Western receipts of corn were
heavy, amounting to 1,315,430 bushels,
against 2,011.033 last year, but there Is
complaint of poor quality.

"Tho solitary exception to tills attl

The St. James Gazette sayu Mr. Van

FAREWELL TO
THE QUEEN
The Roual Familu Takes a Last
Look at the Remains
of Victoria.
GRIEF OF THE MEMBERS
Emperor William Apparently tho
Moat Deeply Affected Tho Casket
Closed for the Last. Time Tho
Funeral Arrangements.
ily Kxclmtvij Wne from Tho Associated Pre..
Cowes, Isle of Wight, Jan, 2G, 12.13
a. in. The toyal family yesterday took
their last loving look at the features
of tho dead queen. About 10 o'clock
In tho morning, the shell was brought
Into tho bedroom, whero were waiting
King Edward, Emperor William, tho
Duke of Connaught, Sir James Reld
and the royal ladies. Tho latter hav
ing retired. Sir James Held, with rev
erent hands, assisted by three- trusted
household horvnnts, and In the pres
ence of the king, the emperor and tho
duke, removed tho body from tho bed
to tho coffin.
Not. a trace of the ravages of disease
was visible. The servants raving te
tlr'jd, Queen Alexandria, the princesses
and tho children wero recalled, and.
with lingering steps and stilled sobs
they passed slowly before this white
robed and peaceful figure. At the foot,
never moving, stood the king, and
when the mourning crowd had passod
thero remained only the son and
grand of the dead.
Kmperor William , wept even more- '
bitterly than the royal ladles. Final
ly, ho also retired, and the king was
left alone. Sir James Reld. beckoning
to tho servants who were holding tho
coffin lid, asked the king's instruction.
For u few seconds, tho king stood !
speechless, stricken with emotion nt
the last farewell. Then he said quick
ly. "Close it finally. It must not he
opened again."
Closed from Human View.
Thus tho remains of England's great
est rul?r wero forever closed from hu
man view. Reverently tat- cotlln was
borne into the dining room. Officers
and men from tho royal yacht took
their stand uroujul .the coffin of the
queen and the king and kaiser gently
laid the robes of a knight of tho gar
ter, placing ut thu head a diamond
crown. Beneath lay tho royal ensign,
while hanging above was the Union
Jack.
At the altar was the rector of Whip
plngham. who read a portion ot tho
final service In the presence of the
royal family. Emperor AVllllam cov
ered his face with his hands nnd the
grief of tho Princess Beatrice was piti
ful. After the benediction each placed
a wreuth upon the cotlln and then all
retired.
Tonight grenadiers are nn. in ting
their silent guard over the coffin, with
guns reversed, arms crossed and heads
bent. The silence Is unbroken save by
an occasional shuflle from the soldiers
in changing their uneasy position.
It Is virtually settled that there will
be an imposing funeral procession
through London, headed by the king,
Emperor William and Lord Roberts.
Tho route will bo nearly tho same as
that of Lord Roberts' triumphant en
try, but reversed.
London, Jan. 23. It Is believed that
one of tho last acts of Queen Victoria
was to signify a wish that the testi
monial sent by the children of Canada
should bo handed over to the royal
jwitrlotlc commissioners for the benefit
of tho widows and orphans of s,oldlers
killed In South Africa. This desire was
communicated to the commissioners in
a letter from the colonial office dated
tho day before her death.

Disappointed nt Hope Because nn

Been Recruited.

Hope, Kan., Jan. 23. Mrs. Carrie
Nation, whoso crusade of destruction
against the saloons has made her the
terror of Kansas "Jolntlsts," arrived
at midnight from Enterprise, deter
mined to attack tho two saloons In
Hope as he had thoso at Wichita and
Enterprise. But no committee of tem
perauco workers met her at ho depot,
Insteud. a crowd of tnou and boys
jostled ono another to g-t a glimpse of
the saloon wrecker. Mr. Nation pushed
her way through the crowd to an om
nibus and was driven to a hotel, Tho
crowd ran after the vehicle und
thronged tho hotel office to see her but
made no attempt at assault.
Mrs. Nation apparently was much
disappointed at the failure of local
support and this morning announced
that she had decided not to daniago
tho saloons here, becauso she was
alone. She refused to eat breakfast
becauso she feared being poisoned and
Instead talked temperanie to a crowd
In front of tho hotel.
".My object in smashing saloons." she
said, "Is to stiffen tho backbone of the
women against the rum traffic and set
them an example of the only way the
traffic can be stopped. I will organise
them Into a society of saloon wreckers.
"After wo havo stamped out tho
saloons In Kansas, we. will go to Mis
souri and keep on going. I havo let
ters from all parts of the country ask
ing mo to come. I hold that under the
constitution of the United States tho
saloon cannot legally exist in any place
In this country."
Mrs, Nation left soon after for Ot
tawa, saying sho will visit friends there
and rest a few days.

aimy when thu bill, was originally be
