Gen. Otis, Prof. Schurman, Col. Dcnby and
Gen. Whittier Also Asked Io-Scrvef
Prof. Shurman Called to \\‘-:1sltington by
the President.
Washington, D. 0., Jan. 16.--P1-esi-
dent McKinley has decided to send a
commission to the Philippines to make
a. thorough study of the situation and
advise him as towhat the policy of the
United States should be regarding
those islands. He has asked these gen-
tlemen to serve on the commission:
Rear Admiral Dewey,. commander—
in-chief of the Asiatic squadron.
Major General E. S. Otis, military
governor of the Philippines.
Professor J. G. Schurmzin, president'
iof Cornell University.
Colonel Charles Denby, former min-
ister to China, and now a member of
the war investigation commission.
Brigadier General Charles, 13. ‘W’hit-
tier of New York, recently 011 duty at
Manila.
Admiral Dewey will be president of
the commission.
It is now only a questlion as to whet-
her or not the gentlemen named will
censent' to serve, and as to the date
when the commission will stait £01 the
Philippines.
The fact that Professor Schurman
has been summoned to Washington to
confer with the president indicates that
Mr. McKinley contemplates appoint-
ing the commission immediately, al-
though there is a probability that he
may wait for the ratification of the
peace treaty. .
The president desires not only I’m-
fessor Schurman‘s views regarding the
future attitude of this country toward
the Philippines, but advice as to the
phases of the question that ought to be
considered by a commission. Should
he consent to serve, there will be lit—
tle difficulty in' making up the rest of
the personnel of the commission, as all
of the other men named are thoroughly
familiar and interested in the subject.
and will doubtless be glad to accept the
serv1cc.
The entire administration takes it
for granted that the present Senate will
ratify the pending treaty of peace.
When this is done Congress will natu-
rally look to the president to outline
a policy of some kindyfor the future
control of the Philippines
Thus far the president has refused
to commit himself officially any fur—
ther than to urge the ratification of the
tr “atywmhichs wi
States complete sovereignty over thé
islands, and to favor military control
until the situation can be studied. '
_ President McKinley is not averse to
the Filipinos having independence if
it can be proved that they are'capable
of maintaining it.
He is not averse to accepting all re—
sponsibility of maintaining sovereignty"
and control of the Philippines perma-
nently. But he wan-ts to be sure of his
ground before taking any definite
stand. .
It .isbelieved that the determination
to appoint a commission will have a
. good effect on [the situation in the Sen-
ate.
Those senators who have been dis—
posed to oppose the treaty on the
ground that the president had been
given no advice as to the future con-
trol and disposition of the islands will
see that he has determined to obtain
all the facts through the medium of
a non-partisan commission composed
of competent men before making any
recommendations.
Del-wishes Defeat Egyptians.
London, Jan. 16.--The Morning Lea;
der publishes the following dispatch
from Cairo:
"Rumors are in circulation here that
on December 28 the Dervishes, under
Emir Fedil, on the Blue Nile, defeated

danese battalion being entirely de-
stroyed. It is reported that reinforce—
men-ts are being hurried up to the

munent.”

Canned Beef Killed 21 Cat.
Newport, Jan. 17.--Th'e “embalmed”
beef controversy in the army recalls
the sickness of half the members of a
battery of the Fourth Artillery, which
returned early last fall to Fort Adams
from Santiago, via Monitauk Point.
A few Weeks after their arrival‘ at
Fort Adams, the battery mess was
served with canned roast beef at one
- of its noonday meals, and before four
o’clock of the same day about fifty
members were either under «treatment
at the post hospital or had been sup-
plied with an antidote.
After the-patients had suffered from-
various maladies, supposedly the ef-
fects of canned beef, a number were
discharged from treatment during the
same evening, while others were car-
ried a longer time on the sick list. A
test of the canned beef was made at
the post hospital by confining a cat
over night with a good sized portion
of the same beef which had made so
many of the battery men ill.
The next morning the cat was found.
dead, and quite a portion of the beef
had been eaten by the animal. At the
time of this incident it was currently
reported that the artillerymen’s ill-
ness was due to overloading their sto-
machs while (in their weakened condi-
tion after the Santiago campaign.

coal operators and the United Mine
Workers over: the inter-state agree-

It is understood that the operators
will-energetically oppose an advance in
the price of mining and will fight to
the end any agreement looking toward
an increase in the present rate of wa-
ges.
The business, they admit, has been
better during the last ninety days than
for «along time; but: they are hampered
by a lack of cars for transportation
Some of the miners' delegates say
that they will insist, upon an advance
in wages and the eight hour day.

BROWN CLOTH TUNIC COSTUME FROM HARPHI'S BAZAR
and the belt and fastenings of wood-
brown velvet.
The fastenings represent a fantastic
development of the moment, in the
Louis XVI bows. They are always
made of satin or velvet, and are formed
of two very small rufiles, perhaps an
inch deep, cut circular. like the rufiles
worn at the wrist. These ruffles are
closely gathered, and the two. form the
complete bow. Sometimes these are
divided, one. being on the underside
and the other on the lapping side. The
two meet and are interfolded like the
petlls of a poppy. The only other
trimming used in this new 11. odel con-
sisls of flat stitched bands of cloth.
Shaded in shallow scallops and stitched
on a stiffened foundation before being
applied to the gown, The pl oper cut ‘
of this costume can be obtained only
by the use of HARPER s 3.12.11: cut’
paper patterns.
Nine yards of cloth, '54. inches wide,
will be required for. the n aking "of this
garment, also i m1 of velvet, and a
