Form the Basis of Debate.

United States to the Restoratioa o
Peace and the E5tab shmont Of
Stable Government.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The joint reso-
luton upon the Philippines introduced
in the senate yesterday by Senator
Bacon of Georgia was shown to num-
Der of democratic senator's before be-
Ing presented to the senate, and the
impression gathered is that it will be
the basis of opposition in debates on
the Philippines. The text Of the resolu-
ton was carefully prepared by Senator
Bacon.
The resolution begins with the asser-
ton that the United States has not
waged the recent war with Spain for
conquest, but solely for the purposes
set forth in the resolution declaring
war; that it is not the purpose Of the
minion over the Philippines, or to per-
manently incorporate the Inhabitants
thereof as citizens of the United States !;
that the obligation rests upon the
United States to restore peace and
maintain order in the islands. and to
protect the inhabitants until such time
as stable government shall have been
established therefor.
The resolution then continues:
"Fourth--That when armed resist
ance to the authority of the United
States shall have ceased within said
islands and peace and order shall have
been restored therein, it Is the purpose
and intention of the United States. so
soon thereafter as the same can be
practically and safely accomplished, to
provide the opportunity and prescribe
the method for the formation Of a gov
eminent by and of the people OF the
Philippine islands to be thereafter indie
pendently exercised and controlled by
themselves, it being the design Of the
United States to accord to the people
of said islands the same measure OF
liberty and independence which have
been pledged by the congress of the
United States to the people of Cuba.
"Fifth-That when a state govern
ment shall, by the method aforesaid,
have been duly formed and erected In
said islands, competent and worthy IN

exercise the powers of an independent
government and to preserve peace and
maintain order within its jurisdiction.

United States. reserving to itself only
such harbors and tracts of land as may
be needed for coaling stations or other
governmental purposes, to transfer to

"Sixth-That when said government

treaties with the leading nations of
the world, to secure the guaranty Of

A SAD ACCIDENT.
Brakeman Falls From a Train and Is
Frightfuiiy Mangled.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
BoZeman, Dec. ia very sad acct
dent occurred this morning about 3
o'clock at the west end of the Bozeman
tunnel, while freight No. So was on it's
way westward. A P. Newman, one Of
the brakeman, was thrown from the
cars and both of his legs and feet were
mangled. After the helper had pushed
No. So through the tunnel and was re-
turning to Livingston, the crew saw
Newman lying by the side of the
track. He was picked up and taken
back to Muir, and word sent to Liv-
ingston for medical assistance. Su-
perintendent Horn had his special car
attached to No. l, and, together with
Or. Alton, he came up to Muir. 1t
was at once apparent that Newman
could not stand the trip to Missoula, so
he was brought to Bozeman and placed
In DR.. Fosters sanitarium.
An examination of his injuries show
ed that his right foot and leg were
crushed beyond any hope of being
saved, and that amputation below the
knee would be necessary. The left leg,
while not so seriously injured, has the
flesh torn off from the hip down to the
feet, leaving all the muscles exposed
and lacerated. DR.. Higgins, assisted by
Or. Alton of Livingston and DR.. Fos-
ter, will amputate the right leg to-
morrow.
Newman has been in a semi-con-
scious state all day, resulting from the
shock, and has not been able to tell
how the accident occurred. He is a
single man, about q years old, and has
two brothers, who reside at Billings.
One of ITEM, Mark Newman, will prob
ably arrive here Tomorrow. The in
jured man wears a K. of P. badge, and
is thought to be a member of the Bill
lings lodge. He has g fair chance of
recovery, and while both his limbs are
bruised and lacerated and causing him
great pain, he is bearing up wonder
fully.
