Professor Schurman said: There are
50O,O 900 inha bitants, one-third Christian,
one-third pagans and one-third Moros.
Here the question is diplomatic. The
Moro chief in Zamboanga province is
friendly TO the Americans and has
raised the American flag. The chief of
Basilan is also friendly and is prepar
ing to follow his example. The Chris
tians dislike the Tagals. and naturally
are not amenable TO their influence.
They viii probably follow the Visay-
ans They await only tactful diplo-
macy on the part OF the Americans.
The pagans We're reached through
their chiefs. In dealing with them 1t
is again question of diplomacy.
The next place visited was Jolo. Pro-
fessor Schurman says this is a beauti-
full island with a delightful climate and
splendid resources awaiting American
development Schurlnau will sail for
home on Wednesday.

BRYAN WANTS
THURMAN FOR
RUNNING NATE
Desires the 0hioan to Offset
the Influence Of Harri-
son at Chicago.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, July 3.-William J. Bryan
distrusts the Chicago Democrats, for he
fears that Mayor Harrison will bob up
to bother him in the National Demo-
cratic Convention in 1900. Mayor Har-
rison has too many sound money
friends in the Democratic party to suit
the Nebraska leader, and in addition
the Chicago executive wants to make
trusts the leading Democratic issue in
the campaign next year instead Of sill
yer.
Mr.. Bryan is credited with desire to
have Allen w. Thurman as his running
mate next year, being convinced that
the Ohio man will be a leader of the
Democratic hosts. In fact, Mr.. Bryan,
at a conference yesterday in this city,
announced that Mr.. Thurman was his
choice His desire to put up Mr.. Thur
man for Vice President seems to be
based on the presentations made by
himself that he could carry Ohio for
the Democratic ticket. He told of the
Republican dissatisfaction in that
State. which, according to his views,
gives the Democrats an excellent
chance to elect their State ticket this
year. In the event of success next No
vember, he said the way to victory in
the national election of 1900 would be
easy In case Mr.. Thurman is made
the Vice Presidential nominee it is said
the Democratic party will make Ohio
one of its chief battle-g grounds, hoping
to defeat Mckinley by the adverse vote
of his own State. In 1896 Mr.. Bryan
caught the galleries at the Chicago con-
vention and received the Democratic
nomination for President, but if the Ma
tional Democratic Convention is held in
Chicago next year he has some fear
that he cannot do this again, because
Mayor Harrison and his friends are not
Bryan men. Mr.. Harrison was not at
Yesterdays conference, and Mr.. Bryan
thinks the Mayor may pack the gal
leries with other than Bryan men. Mr..
Bryan does not care for an Eastern
Vice Presidential candidate next year,
as he thinks the East is against him
anyway, and still an "enemy's coun-
try" That is why he has taken at once
merely to the Thurman idea.

THREE BODIES LIE
BENEATH THE RUINS

CHICAGO. July 3.-Three persons are
believed to be dead beneath the tottering
walls of the Western Paper Stock Com
pany's plant, which was burned to-day.
The dead:
BARTHOLOMEW sPARKoEIETz. 90
years old.
MRS. JOSIE DOYLE, 21 years old.
STEFFANIE BAGDCIES.
The fire is thought to have started from
spontaneous combustion among some old
rags in the basement. The building stood
at 1452-145S Indiana avenue and was a
four-story brick structure. The flames
quickly spread to the upper floors by way
of the elevator shaft and stairway. The
highly infiammable nature of the stock
caused the building to fill with dense
smoke. rendering escape difficult for en-
ployes on the three higher. stories. The
occupants of the building became panic
stricken and rushed to the windows.
Those who went to the front, where
there was a fire escape We're able to
escape. On the south side Of the. burned
structure. however, many OF the frenzted
women leaped out of the, third-story
windows to the roof of a shed. 1t was at
this point that most of those injured suf-
fered On the north side of the building
several women escaped down a ladder
raised by Mrs George Caldwell and Mrs.
Rend, residents of the neighborhood.

ELEVEN REGIMENTS OF
VOLUNTEERS For MANILA

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Offlcial an
nouncement was made to-day of the in
tention Of the President to raise
eleven regiments of volunteers,
besides filing all vacancies in
the regular regiments now at Man
lila. Two of the volunteer regiments
have been organized at Manila, and of
the remaining nine two will rendezvous
and be drilled at Camp Meade, Pa,
and one each at Plattsburg barracks,
n. Y; Columbus barracks; Fort
Thomas, Kentucky; Fort Sheridan, Il
linois; Leavenworth, kans.: San An
tonic, Tex, and Vancouver barracks
Regular army officers who commanded
volunteer regiments in the war with
Spain will be assigned to command the
nine new regiments. and will proceed
Immediately with their captains to
posts at which their respective regi-
ments will be recruited and take meas
ures to enlist men in all parts of the
country without reference to regular
recruiting stations. By this means the
War Department expects that by Au-
guest all the men needed to form the
regiments will have been obtained and
that by the following month they will
be in shape to sail for their destina-
ton. The total number of volunteers
to be enlisted will be 13,7S1-11, 7S1 for
the nine regiments to be organized In
this country, and 1000 in Manila. Each
regiment will have fifty officers, so that
the regimental strength will be 1859
men, The order for the enlistment of
volunteers will not be issued until next
week, the department having deter
mined to continue enlistments for the
regular service for another week, in
which time the entire number Of 633S
men required to fill the regular regi-
ments in Manila will be secured. Be
lieving that the country does not want
politics to enter into army appoint
ments the President proposes to select
men to be commissioned from the regu-
lar service and those volunteers who
served creditably during the war with
Spain, and but one additional brigadier
general will be appointed.

FURTHER PROPOSALS
NOT TO BE CONSIDERED
If the Alaskan Boundary Question Is
Not Soon Settled the Frontier
Will Be Garrisoned.

NEW YORK, July "a Journal special
from Washington says: A high official OF
the State Department said to-day con-
cerning the Alaskan boundary that the
time had come to advise England that
there was no intention on the part of this
Government to listen to further proposals
the essential object of which was TO OBJ
tain unreasonable concessions of Amert-
can territory.
THE only possible chance l now see for
a settlement said this official, is that
England may INDUCE Canada to see Iaiat that
High Commission will be impossible of
consideration, if the provisional boundary
line be not first fixed. In other words, all
of Canada's chances for reciprocities with
the United States will be killed summar-
ily if the Alaskan boundary business is
not settled and at once.
'In case of a final DISAGREEMENT on the
provisional line. the United States Will be
obliged to garrison Pyramid Harbor.
which is now without a garrison. at the
request of Great Britain. and other places
on the frontier, in the interest of Ameri-
can citizens in the disputed territory.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

n RUSSELS, July 3.-The excite

tinues, though further outbreaks
- are improbable. Until the Gov
ernment's proposals are submit
ted to the Chamber Tuesday. when. IL
satisfactory, permanent compromise
may be effected, otherwise the Social
lists threaten extremes, even revolution.
The bill satisfies only the Clericals, and
there is a strong feeling, in which the
Socialists join, that new elections ought
to be held before any change Is effected
in the way of redistribution Of votes or
seats If the Government does not with
draw the electoral bill Tuesday or in
troduce bill providing for universal
suffrage the working class promise to
precipitate a general strike throughout
the country. The Government is be-
tween the devil and the deep sea. If
the Cabinet opposes universal suffrage
it is threatened with a revolution which
may sweep away the monarchy. On
the other hand, universal suffrage Is
liable to result in the return of such a
large Socialist and Republican major
ity in the Chamber that the monarchy
will be equally threatened.
At a meeting of the factions of the
Left in the Chamber a resolution in
favor of the withdraw Al of the electoral
bill and urging a dissolution instead or
a referendum was adopted.
