Wisconsin,.

In Wisconsin two justices of the SUI
preme Court were elected. Less than half
the usual vote was polled in Milwaukee,
and reports from the State indicate that
there was very little interest in any of the
contests. In the municipal elections in
the cities of the second and third class,
party lines were drawn in but few cases,
and the results have no national signifi-
canoe. Local issues determined nearly ev-
cry contest.

The United States Philippine commits
sion Tuesday issued a proclamation at
Manila containing 1900 words to the in
haHtants Of the islands. The paper
which was prepared by President Schur-
mann of the commission, outlines the re-
sponsibilities of the United States in the
Philippines, sand states that the object of
the American Government is to elevate
the Philippine people.
The hostilitDes now prevailing are de-
plored and are attributed to the Filipinos
misunderstanding the purposes of the
United States. The commission asks the
cooperation of the people for the estab-
lishment of better understanding and
invites attention to the following regulat-
ing principles by which the United States
may be guided:
Conditions Clearly Defined.
L. American supremacy must be en-
forced.
2. The most ample liberty possible will
be granted.
3. All civil rights are guaranteed.
4. Honor forbids use of the Philippines
as a means Of exploitation.
5. An effective civil service is guaran-
teed.
g. An honest, fiscal administration is
promised
Z. All corruption will be eradicated.
g. Public works of all kinds will be pro-
NOTED.
g. Foreign trade and commerce will be
fostered.
TO- Schools will be established.
H. Reforms in all departments Of the
government Of the islands are promised.
The proclamation is signed by Jacob
Gould Schurmann, George Dewey, Elwell
S. Otis Charles DENLY and Dean G. Wor-
cester.
In conclusion the proclamation says:
"Such is the spirit in which the United
States comes to the people of the island
and the President has instructed the COM
mission to make this publicly known.
"Obeying his behests, the commission
ers desire to join the President in express
ing their good will toward the Philippine
people, and to extend to the leading repre-
sentative men an invitation to meet them
for the purpose Of personal acquaintance
and the exchange of views and opinions"
Junta Advises A guinoldo.
1t is reported that Aguinaldo, on advice
of the Filipino junta in Hong Kong, will
abandon Luzon and go to Mindanao, the
southern island of the Philippine group,
and endeavor to continue the instruction
there and on the adjoining islands of Ne
