The Filipiuo.- lecin incapable tit realizing the scope anil purpose of the legislative functions ot tlie commission of peace, 'l'here is nc j possibility of separating the legislative | from the executive brain lies of the gov , «'i*ume!it. ami therefore the commission a announcement of its assumption of powci Sept. I has met with childish comment.- at the hands of the Spaniards and for eiguers, who jealously sneer at the new arrangement, as they are apt to do at every beneticial innovation on the part ot the I'nited States authorities. The commission enters upon the gov ernmental lield under the following condi tions: A majority of the islanders desire pence and the resumption of business under the Americans, but they are so cowed by a long series of murderous atrocities and destruction of property liy their armed countrymen that they dare not actively show their feelings, especially because experience has taught them what such an expression of sentiment will bring upon them from the mercilessly revengeful reb els. A genuine reign of terror is exercis ed by insurgents and ladrones ovet peaceful countryfolk in order to collect the revenue and recruits their operations require, and widespread vengeance i> wreaked In the vicinity of garrisoned towns. For example, the insurgent gen eral failles in the province of I.aguna put to death the president and officehold ers of the town of Hay, on I.aguna de Kay, officials who had been installed by the Americans, and gave orders that a similar fate should be meted out to other adherents of the American cause. He also ordered that all Filipino soldiers who sold their rilles to the Americans should Ite killed. Any change of policy involving the withdrawal of the I'nited States troops without substituting for them an ade quate defensive force is certain t" result in fearful retaliation at the expense of the friendlies. The approaching patria tiou of the volunteers tends to intlucncu the situation unfavorably. lu northern Luzon the status quo is fairly well maintained, and the people in that quarter are iiuict and engaged in planting, except in the provinces of Xue va Kcija ami Hillacan. where there has been a recent outburst of rebel and la drone activity. Hut in southern Lit/on conditions are far from satisfactory. Life there is not safe outside the garrisoned j towns. Travelers are subject to ambush by guerrillas. Rarely does a day pass without au encounter between the I'nited States troOps and the insurgents or la drones, resulting in casualties. There are IM.tMN) troops in (hat district! General Hate- commanding, and in three regiments over a third of the men are sick. The activity of the enemy increased last mouth. There is evidence that the insurgcuts have come into possc.-siou of new rilles and that they wish to annihi late soiue small American garrison for the sake of the political effect in the I'nited Stales. Conditions In the Visayas continue virtually unchanged. The lack of troops iu Samar prevents aggression Negro*. Roiublou, Masliatc. Wihiiyau, Tiiblas and !

TUESDAY NOVEMBER li, 1990; RFAR END COLLISION. Tblrlrrn lii "•••' • tilil y Injured, ul Uatlleld, I'u. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Thirteen persons killed ami over 30 others injured is the uppalling record of n rear end col lision between nn excursion train and a milk train on the Bethlehem liraneh of the Philadelphia and Heading railway yesterday at Hatfield, Pa., -7 miles north of this city. The wrecked train consisted of ten day (roaches and was the first section of a large excursion made up of people from Bethlehem, Alleutown and surrounding towns to Atlantic City. This section car ried only those persons who lived in Beth lehem and Allentown and left the Union depot in Bethlehem at 0:05 a. m., exactly 35 minutes behind the milk train. Ihe latter tralu consisted of two milk cars and two passenger coaches and had stop pt-d at every station on the road from Bethlehem en route to Philadelphia. At t>:s4 the milk truin drew up at the milk platform at Hatfield, and in less than two minutes the special excursion train, run ning at the rate of 35 miles an hour, crashed into the rear of the milk train. The locomotive plowed through the twn passenger coaches and crushed them as it they were eggshells. The milk car im mediately in front was also badly wreck ed. Pour persons, Godfrey Kuelin, his daughter, Mamie: Harold Landis and William Blackburn, on the passenger cat of the milk train were almost instantly killed. Fortunately there were very few persons on this train. The excursion train was a picture of in describable horror. The locomotive was a mass of bent and broken iron and firm l.v held the bodies of its engineer and lireman beneath its great weight. Behind the engine six of tit** cars were also a mass of wreckage. The first car was brokeu in twain, and the other five cars were thrown on their sides, completely demolished. HUNTINGTON'S ESTATE. Aiipruinrra Fl* the Value at $«».- IISO.OOO. MOW YOItK, Sept. I.—Through the appraisement of the estate of t'ollls P. Huntington the value was fixed at s<>!•, 050.000. of which Mr. 11. F. Hunting ton, the railroad magnate's nephew, re eeives $20,000,000. Young Huntington's wife, sister of thf Princess llat/feldt, and her brother were not mentioned in the late millionaire s will. This was thought peculiar, as Mr Huntington's treatment of the princess was particularly generous. She was givet $2,500,000 in 5 per cent bonds as a "dot" and $1.1100.000 in gilts within a period i of ten years. On top of this came iicr .*l.' tHMi.imn legacy. Willard V. Huntington, a brother >.l the young railroad king, was given onlj s.*>o,ooo. This was because he tried railroading and abandoned it. His uncle gave bin $250,000 when lie married, and lie devil oped this into a magnificent fortune bj speculation in San Francisco real estate. The appraisement of the Huntingtot. estate places the following values on hi railroad holdings: Southern Pacific. S2O. 000,000; Pacific Mail, JMi.000,000: Mexi can railways, $M,OOII,00O: Newport Newt yards, $12,000,000: New York realty. $<S. 1100,000: bonds and rasU. $7,000,000. It wan said in financial circles that ilu lute Mr. Huntington's successor as pies idciit of the Southern Pacitie will be M K. lugalls, president of the Big Foul road. _ Hue of .tmlrrr'a Huo>>.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.—The feature ot the day here was a big demonstration held by the labor organizations, includ ing a parade and a picnic. Governor Roosevelt and William .1. Bryan review ed the parade from the same stand and later made speeches to a great crowd at the picnic ground*. Arriving at nearly the same time Sun day, spending the night in two wings ot the same hotel, reviewing a great Labor day procession from the same balcony, having lunch together at noon and speak ing from the same rostrum to the same crowd in the afternoon, the two candi dates completed a day unusual in Amer ican politics. Thirty-five thousand representatives ot Chicago's trades unions marched yester day morning in celebrating the labor holiday. Representatives of Il>2 unions were in line, and the parade was the largest ever seen on Labor day iu Chi cago. Scattered through the line were many floats representing particular trades. Shortly before 1:30 o'clock the speak ers' party arrived at Electric park. In it were Roosevelt, Bryan. Samuel Al schulcr, Richard Yates. Senator .Mason, Carter H. Harrison. Charles A. Towue. Mayor Rose of Mil* aukee, John Kiner ty. V. H. O'Donnell and R. M. Patter son, all of whom were billed to make ad dresses.

He was followed by Bryan at 4 o'clock, and others spoke in the after noon and iu the evening. Bryan left thi.- city at S o'clock last night on his eastern spccchmakiug tour. WAR'S END NEAR.

The general opinion is that tin' war is uow very near the end, bill slum Id the Boers construct strongholds iu the bush, on the veldt or elsewhere and begin a system of raids the British would re quire further large supplies of horses. General Bulier moved I t miles north westward along the l.ydenburg road and crossed the Crocodile river to Badfontein. lie found the Boers concentrating in the Crocodile mountains. A force of Boers under Commandant Thern broke through the British lines and captured and burned a supply train at Klip ltiver Station, taking prisoners. Brabant's horse proceeded thither, re captured all the prisoners anil drove the Boers into the hills. Colonel IMnmer dispersed a small com mando under Commandant l'rotorius east of I'inaar's river, capturing -•> Boers, a number of wagons and a quantity of cat tle and rifles. for bet t Whip* Mcf'o > .

Woodrnfl Finally Conaenta to Take Second Place Attain—What the I'lotforni to Be Adopted Will Contain. SARATOGA, Sept. 4. —The mooting tof the statu committee of the Republican party last night brought forth no de velopment not already known. The selec tion of a temporary chairman was mere formality and, in fact, the sessions of tint convention today and tomorrow will be formal, for every detail has been ar ranged. Such enthusiasm as might be called forth by the usual occurrence* will be evident only if the proposed ratification meeting to follow the con vention * work develops some tine ora tory. Ihe utmost forced consent of Mr. \A oodnift to take the second place tin the ticket disposes of any contest for oflice. It is understood that every detail of the platform has been arranged and agreed upon. There are. it is believed, Rn contests for a committee on creden tials to dispose of, and so the serenity ot what promised to be a lively event in the annals of the party will be almost unprecedented. By thi.ie who are in control of party affairs this is looked upon as a good iflneu. demonstrating ', r reat harmony in the party ranks, while others are prone to believe that the lack of friction shows lack of interest. The following is the probable ticket: For governor, Benjamin Odell, Jr.. of Orange; for lieutenant governor, Tim othy 1,. Woodruff of Kings; for comp troller. William J. Morgan of Erie: for secretary of state. John T. McllouongU ot Albany: for state engineer, Edward A. Itoml of Jefferson: for attorney gen eral. John t'. ]>avics of Oneida: for state treasurer. John I'. Jaeckel of Cayuga. So far as obtainable, because over some sections of the platform there is still de bate. the resolutions have been decided upon which will, tirst. indorse strongly the administration of ['resident MeKiu ley, upholding the establishment and con tinuance of the gold standard; second, a strong indorsement of the government policy in Cuba and Porto llieo and a statement that the Philippines are ours by every right and that if it can be called expansion then the party in New York state is for expansion: third, an indorse ntent of the administration of Theodore Koosevelt as governor of New York: fourth, an indorsement of the legislature of IWKt. specifically calling attention to the tax rate of I.OtS mills, the solution of rapid transit for New York, the protec tion of New York city's water supply, shortening the hours of labor, reform in tenement houses and sweatshops, the erection of a consumptive hospital, pro tection of the forests, improvements to the agricultural land: fifth, noncommittal plank regarding the canals, saying that there is now being made a preliminary survey, authorized by the last legislature, for the purpose of accurately determining the cost of their enlargement and that the Republican party will not favor any large expenditure unless it is certain that as a result of the enlargement of their capacity the conditions of all classes of people anil all sections of the slate will bo materially improved; sixth, an in dorsement of tin* national Republican ticket: seventh, n protest against trusts, suggesting that means be taken to obtain more publicity in their affairs. It is given out that ex-Uovcrnor Frank Black will make the speech nominating Mr. Odell. Senator Oepcw being out of reach. More Stranded Tonriata.
