"10 GET 11111-111111”? President McKinley to Send Com- mission to the Philippines. DEWEY TO BE AT ITS HEAD Gen. Otis, ruf. Schurman, Col. Denliy and Gen. lVlIitticr Also Asked to Serve—~ Prof. Shurman Called to \Vashington by the President. Washington, D. 0., Jan. 16.-—Presi- dent Mcl'inley has decided to send a commission to the Philippines to make a thorough study». of the situation and advise him as to what the policy of the United States should be regarding "those islands. He has asked these gen- tlemen to serve on the commission: Rear Adm’ral ‘Dewey, commandeiu tin—chief of the Asiatic squadron. Major General E. S. Otis, military governor of the Philippines. Profesjsor J. G. Schurman, president of Co‘rnell University. Colonel Charles Denby, former min— ister to China, and now a’member'of the war investigation commission! Inigadier General Charles B. VVhit- tier of New York, recent}? on duty at M: :iila. . 'i ’ ..dmiral Dewey will be president of tie commission. ’ ‘ ‘31.» , It is now only a Question as to Whet— her or not the gentlemen named will consent to serve, -and'as2't='€o the date when the commission will start for the Philippines. .2 The fact that Professor Schurman has been summoned to Washington to confer with the president indicates that ‘ Mr. McKinley contemplates appoint- ing the cominissio‘n .immediately, al- though there is a'probability that he may wait for-the ratification of the peace treaty. ‘ . The president desires not only Pro- 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 The consent to serve, there will be lit- tle difficulty in making up the rest of “ the personnel of the commission, as all -. of theother men named are thoroughly familiar. and interested in the subject, .. and will doubtless be glad to accept the .-service. " ‘ ., The entire admixiis'tgation 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 kind for the future cgntrol of the Philippines . Thus far the president has refused to commit himself officially any fur- ther than to urge the ratification of the treaty, which will give the United States Complete sovereignty over the 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 wants to be sure of his ground before taking any definite stand. ' It is believed 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.

New York, Jan. 16.--In thirty days the beginning of the end of the horse will have arrived. The Thirty-fourth street cross town line will have done away with him by that time. As soon thereafter as pos- sible, the Fourteenth, the Twenty— eighth and Twenty—ninth streets, the Chambers street and the Belt Line railroads will be using compressed air motors, and in ninety days wagons run by air motors will have. started a wholesale replacing of the horse in the trucking business. Back of the plans to do away with the horse and control the trucking business in New York city and else- where are two big companies, incorpo- rated Saturday in Trenton N. J., with a capital stock of $17,000,000. One com- pany is to manufacture compressed air motors, trucks, etc., the other is to op- erate them. In the operating company are Rich- ard Croker and other Tammany men. who, it is said, will control the truck- ing of New York city. Mr. Croker’s company is the Auto-Truck Company. lV-ith the news of the incorporation of thetwo companies came the an- nouncement that Joseph Leiter, the young man who made the Chicago wheat corner, is back of the Interna- tional Air ower Company. Gen.- Suuguily in a Huff. Havana, Jan. 16.--General Julio San- guilly, accompanied by four aids, has sailed for Tampa, Fla., whence he pur- poses to pfbceed to Washington to protest against the attitude assumed toward him by Major General Ludlow, military governor of Havana. General Sanguilly called upon Major General Brooke, governor gent‘Sral of Cuba, and for the first time gave his version of the Albisu theatre affair. He showed General Brooke General Ludlow’s letter ordering him (Sanguil- ly) to stay out of the city and not to wear his uniform. Sanguilly, who had not seen General Ludlow, got a note of introduction to him from General Brooke and sent it to General Ludlow by a Cuban aid, together with an inquiry as to when it would be convenient for General Ludlow to see him. To this General Ludlow replied that he could not see Sanguilly, and the Cu— ban, wrote to the governor general a full statement of the case. General San— guilly considers that the Cuban army has been insulted in his person. Payne t.» be House Leader.

Man is issued into this world with a big cargo of passions, and a full head of sail. It often happens that before he gets the rudder adjusted that the hull is rotten or the sails are in' tatters. As he hustles or passes through this planet he is subjected to innumerable difficulties, morally, physically and financially, to bring his crazy craft into port alter weathering a. gale, to cast anchor-in a pleasant harbor, after rid- in};r out a swim, or to tie up after a long voyagé’is always a pleasure.

Just as long as the old hulk will slip through the Water it’s all right. with the pilot, butoue day regarded by accumulations of barnacles, the pitchy seams opening, and 1he bottom broken from constant Bounding, he in compelled to “call at the ship yard for repairs. » Mr. Thomas Cooney, residing at N o. 73 Harbor Ava, dockmaster. for ten years, and for thirty years a sailor, is an example of this. He was forced to run in for shelter or for repairs in the fall of 1895. This is how he tells it:— "Wheu a boy I fell from a. tree. strik- ing a fence. This accident. left me with back trouble, and the life on the water with its hardships added their share until I found backache. was more or less a steady thing, coming on from time to time. 1 did not. understand that it came from the kidneys, but reading that Doan-‘s Kidney Pills cured backache, I got a box at Hale’s (now Glendening a Co.’s) drug store and was surprised to find how quickly they acted.

Presontly one of them remarked to the other that some one had robbed him of a $5 note, and. he proposed to find it if he had to search the whole train. “As it happened,” said the Arch- bishop, “I had a $5 note and that was all, and as I was alone in the carriage ”a 21:9 for-table. Then :It occurred to me to pretend to be asleep. “Sure enough, in a minute more i was accosted with: ‘I say, neighbor? but I made no answer. Then the man grabbed my arm and shook me, but to no purpose, as I didn’t wake up. He kept on shaking, however, and al- ways a little more forcibly, until at last his friend interposed with: ‘I say, Bill, let him alone, willhyou; he’d drunker’n you arel’ ” The judgment comes from the His trict court at the national capital that the sale of newspapers on the streets is a legitimate business, and that newsboys have a right to enter street cars and sell papers to passengers pro- vided they behave themselves and leave the car when their business is finished. One newsboy was forcibly ejected from a car in Washington some time ago and had a leg crushed by a car running on the other track. He has just obtained an award of $5,000 damages from a jury under in.- structions to the above effect by the judge. r———-——-—.—— The Chickasaw Legislature has passed a law which is intended to stop white men from marrying Indian wo- men. by taxing them $600 for 3. mar ' riage license. There are about ten thousand full- blooded ndians in the Chickasaw ° tribe, while the others are about fifty thousand in number, and are half and 'ququter bloods, and among them are many squaw men. These squaw men are ,white men who have married In- dian women and settled upon Indian lands. This practice is not to the lik- ing of the full-blooded Indians, but they were powerless until recently. it the last tribal election the full- woods, for the first time in twenty 7 years got control of the council. Since then they have made life a burden for 1 the halfbreeds and squaw men. Many laws have been passed detrimental to their interests, but the most effective action of all was taken last week, when the price of a marriage licence was raised from $50 to $600._ This is applicable only to white men Who would marry Indian women. ering, however, that the average Chickasaw girl has tribal property to the value of about $3,000, the price or a marriage license may not yet effect the shrewd white. speculators who have been marrying the Chickasaw belles for revenue only. ~ LAZINESS IS A DISEASE rattling of sorts,” indolent and don’t feel like working, he needs a. few doses of H05- teiter’s Stomach Bitters to liven up his digestive organs and to stimulate his liver and kidneys. of the liver and gigglg-UT .
