FOR A TERRITORIAL FORM,

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-The commits,
sion appointed by the President to
recommend form of government for
the Hawaiian islands as part of the
United States met in Senator Cullom's
committee room at the capitol for the
first time since leaving Honolulu, Sem
ators Cullom and Morgan, Representa-
tive Hit and Judge Frear being
present.
The commission will recommend a.
regular territorial form of government
with governor, delegate in Con-
gress and legislature The legisla-
ture will be elected by the qualified
voters of the islands, but there will
be property and educational qual;fca-
tlons imposed upon those who vote for
members of the upper house of the leg
islature. The franchise will not be
extended to the Japanese or Chinese in
the islands, but the Portuguese who
become citizens will not be excluded
under the restrictions imposed
The commission will present full
details of the value OF the property ac-
ouired, of the income OF the tariff
taxes and other important facts bear
ing upOn the government OF the
islands. They estimate that the prop
erty secured by the United States will
amount to more than $4,000 900. The

CHICAGO. Nov. 25.-Negotiations for
the purchase of the Alton road by u
syndicate headed by President Stilwell
of the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf
road are rapidly approaching com
pletion. They may be brought TO
close at almost any moment, as only
few details Of minor Importance re-

was finally consummated is deemed
certain.
Every share of stock will be given
chance to accept the same price as has
been agreed upon for a controlling in
terest. 1t is stated, however, that
large number of the present stockhold-
ers will elect to accept the securities
of the new consolidated company
rather than sell out their interests To
all who SO desire this option will be
given. The syndicate stands ready to
pay cash for the last share that may
be offered at the price for the major

WHY THEY WENT HUNGRY.

New YORK, Nov. 24-James J. F.

man, who was with the First regular
infantry from California to Santiago
was the first witness before the war

CLAMORlNG FOR WHEAT.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. PA lively
time is expected in the grain pit at the
Merchants exchange Friday morning,
when it becomes generally known
that, of the 1860, ,O7S bushels of wheat
in st. Louis public elevators, 65O,-
900 bushels, or nearly one-half of
the total stock, has been sold for
immediate shipment and will be load
ed out as fast as possible. OF this
amount, 300, 900 bushels will go by the
river-the loading has already begun
and $50 900 will be shipped by rail.
Nearly all of this wheat is sold for ex-
port, and bids have been received for
considerable more Foreigners are
showing their anxiety to get wheat by
swapping at any offer within reason,
The only limit to the sales OF St.
Louis exporters at present is the scar
city of cars and their inability to get
vessel room. The car famine is being
felt by all shippers and the railroads
are unable to guarantee any special
time for shipment.

THREE SAVED FROM LYNCHING

MONTICELLO, Ga, Nov 24.-Ed Mer-
riweather, the negro who was yester-
day lynched, confessed, before he was
hanged, to the murder of a young
white man, and said three other ne
groes, Irwin CLANCY, Jake Glover and
Mary Ramey, assisted him. After dis
posing of Merriweather tine mob rushed
back TO the Jail to get the other
negroes who had been arrested on
suspicion. Ropes were put around
their necks and they were dragged to
the place where Merriweather's bullet
riddled body was hanging. A large
number of citizens had heard of the
effort to lynch the other three negroes
and they hurried to the scene. 1t was
only by the most vigorous efforts that
this lynching was prevented. One of
the negroes was about to be drawn up
on a limb, when young white man
jumped forward and cut the rope. The
mob then gave up, and the three ne
groes were turned over to the sheriff.
They are now in Jail.

SOC0TRA NOT LEASED,

WAsHINGToN, Nov 24.-An official
denial is given to the story coming
from Vienna, via London, to the effect
that the United States government
has been negotiating with the Brit
ish government for the lease of
the island of Socotra, off the
eastern extremity of Africa and near
the southern entrance to the Red sea.
So far as can be gathered, not only
has our government made no oyarkure

quarter Of the world. Still, now that
the sugge ton has been given pub
licity, officers are not wanting to come
forward in advocacy of some such
proposition.

AFFp'RS IN HAVANA,

HAVANA, Nov. 24-The last few
days have seen a revival of activity in
every quarter. Things appear to take
on more definite form in every branch
Of military occupation. Here at Ha-
vana wharves are being built and rail-
way connections made. The camps
chosen have actually begun to be con-
htructed. Government boats and sup
plies are arriving and the first INSTALL
mcnt of United States troops is ex-
pected on Friday.
At the custom house, the archives
are being packed hurriedly, prepara-
tory to turning the building over to
the American authorities. The best
energies of the Spanish now seem bent
upon an immediate evacuation of the
island
All this has had a saluta~y effect
upon the general tone of commercial
and social life in the city, which looks
to the immediate future for relief from
long season of doubt and stagnation.
With the advent of cooler weather,
the health of the general public has
III ktl OfCu 4NO new cases Oh yellow
fever among foreigners have been re-
corded, and the situation can be said
to be visibly better. There are, how
ever, two discordant notes, the in
crease of crime and the continuance of
official corruption. The newly con-
stituted police force. known as riferes
gnbernatives, armed with machetes
and rifles, is totally inadequate to cope
with the criminal classes, whose
ranks are daily swollen by the re-
turn Of deported prisoners from the
penal colonies. The riIieres make a
very poor substitute for the disbanded
orden publico. The alarming increase
in vice and crime renders it unsafe to
walk the streets unarmed or unpro-
tected after nightfall. The police re-
ports show scores of "hoId-ups,'' - muir
ders, burglaries and highway robberies
which never get int the local papers,
thanks to the watchful censor
Corruption, bribery and wholesale
stealing in the military and civil ad-
ministrations continue unchecked.

weeks tour of the interior They were

Several narrow escapes.
The authorities refused to permit
travellers to go into the mountains I'M

annihi!ate any party of less than

Near Ilagn the natives mistook Mr.
Sargent for Spaniard and opened
fire, but nobody was hurt. Messrs
Wilcox and Sargent enjoyed three
days festivities at Ilagn. There were
dinners, theater parties and a ball in
honor of the Americans, who were i'm
mensely surprised at the culture and
education of the people. The latter
wear western dress and the ladies are
beautiful, entirely falsifying the an.
ticipations of semi-savagery
The insurgent troops have every.

there were no signs of dissatisfaction
with a guideless government.
There are many Spanish soldiers and
friars in captivity, but no Sisters of
Charity were observed among the pris-
oners. They sailed down a splendid
river to Parri, at the extreme north
end Of the island of Luzon, where they
arrived on November 5, on board the
insurgent steamer Filipinos.
From there, the apparently idle
travellers took a steamer to Oslo, on
she west coast, and landed and tramped
through the province of Ilocos, near

gritas, or black aborigines They saw
no NeGritas. hut theE COLLECTED l,a,s-
nents- That part of the country is
quiet, excepting in the
where state of primitive
'avagery exists.
The insurgent officers had just re-.
,eived Aguinaldo's proclamation not to
permit foreigners to carry weapons, SO
the Americans agreed to have every
thing of that nature forwarded to them
later. The two officers reached San
Tomas with difficulty, because the
bridges had been washed away a CEN
Jury ago and had never been rebuilt.
Only temporary bamboo bridges are
erected during the dry season each
year.
From San Tomas the travellers went
by boat to Guapan, where they took
the train for Manila.

WHOLE COURT CEMSuRED.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 25.-After
hearing the testimony of several unim-
portant witnesses in the proceedings
against State Senator Burke the at
torneys for both sides announced that
all their witnesses had been examined,
and that they were ready to begin ar
guments.
Attorney Johnson opened for the
Bar association and Attorney Foran
followed for the defense. Judge Blan-
din made the closing argument for the
prosecution.
When Judge Blandin, who was one
of the three prosecutors of the charges
against Senator Burke, arose, every
one supposed it was to speak in sup
port of the charges, and in defense of
Judge Dellenbaugh. Instead of doing
that. the Judge did not attempt to af-
firm or deny the truth of the charges.
nor did he attempt to defend Judge
Dellenbaugh. He made a bitter and
sensational attack on the whole bench
of Cuyahoga county. He said he knew
the risk he was taking, but that he did
not care.
For some time the ex-judges and old
tried members of the bar who listened
to Blandin's passionate utterances
stood amazed at his daring. Then they
broke into cheers. When Judge Blan-
din finished they cheered and clapped
their hands again and again.
Judge Blandin declared it was the
bench which needed reforming first;
the elimination of rottenness should
commence with the bench. He wect
into details, and did not hesitate to
say he was talking about Judge Wal
ter C. Ong and Judge 7. K. Dissette.
He said it was a comparatively insig-
nifcant thing whether Judge Dellen-
baugh was impeached and driven from
the bench or whether Vernon H. Burke
was disbarred. 1t was more impor-
tant, he declared, to cleanse the bench
of the county, SO that property, lib
erty and life may be safe in the hands
of the seven men constituting the
court.
1t was one of the most sensational
speeches ever made by a lawyer in
Cuyahpga county.

LOSES HIS DIAMONDS.

New YORK, Nov. 25.-The jury in
the case of the United States against
Max j. Lasar, diamond dealer, for the
forfeiture of about $4,000 worth of
diamonds, which it is charged were
smuggled into the country by Lasar,
returned verdict forfeiting the dia-
monds to the government. Lasar is
under indictment on the criminal
charge of having smuggled the dia-
monds, and his attorneys preferred to
hold their defense until the trial on
the criminal charge comes up, believ-
ing, they said, that to bring forward
their witnesses now would be to the
disadvantage of Lasar.

gan of the Pettis county criminal court,
admitted j. II. McManigal, the slayer
of Captain J. c. Young, OF Lexington,
Mo-. to bail in the sum of S25, 900. The
attorneys for the defense Showed to
the satisfaction of the court that the
murder was not premeditated, but that
McManigal stabbed the one-armed vet
eran on the spur of the moment, in the
heat of sudden passion. Bond was
furnis he'd and the trial set for Janu-
ary next.
