PHILIPPINE COMMISSION
Presents Its Preliminary Report to the
President in Time to Give 1t Out Before
Election Day.

Presents Its Preliminary Report to the
President in Time to Give 1t Out Before
Election Day.
WASHINGTON, November I'm ac-
cordance with the understanding
reached at the White House yesterday,
the Philippine commission to-day sub
mitted to the President the preliminary
repoa which it had promised to pre-
pare.
The report appears to be compact
summary of conditions ON the islands
as the committee left them; of the
historical events which preceded the
Spanish war and led to the original
Filipino insurrection of the exchanges
between Admiral Dewey and the other
American commanders and the insur-
gents; the breaking out and progress
of the present instruction and, finally,
a statement of the capacity of the Fill
Pine for self-government. A notable
feature of the report is a memorandum
by Admiral Dewey explanatory OF his
relations with Aguinaldo
The commission next tells BRIEFLY
how it conducted the task entrusted to
it, hearing statements from all classes
of people in Manila as to the capabili-
ties of the Filipinos for self-goyern-
ment, the habits and customs of the
people, and also the establishment of
municipal governments in many towns.
All this matter is to be included in the
final report
1t begins with the history of the is
lands and the divers rebellions which
had preceded that Of 1896 AS to this
movement they declare that it was in
no sense an attempt to win independ
ence, but solely to obtain relief from
intolerable abuses.
Tie war begun in 1896 was uernin-
arsd by the treaty of Biac-Na- Bate.
The Spanish felt that it would require
100000 men to capture their strong
held and concluded to resort to the use
o, money. Governor General Rivera
was willing 20 pay 100000 Mexican
when Aguinaldo and his cabinet and
leading officers arrived in Hong Kong.
The report then tells how General
Augustin came to Manila as governor
general at this juncture and war broke
out between Spain and the United
States. Augustin sought to secure the
support of the Filipinos to defend Spain
against America, promising them au-
tonomy, but tie Filipinos did not trust
him. Then came the destruction o. the
Spanish feet by Dewey. Then in June
Aguinaldo came. On this point the

AS result of the recent rains the
stage of water at this point will at
least reach six feet. AS result, the
local packets have re-entered their sew
eral trades. The T. NJ. Bayne arrived
from Steubenville yesterday, and left
on her schedule time for the lower
port. The Leroy arrived from Clar-
ington and the Lulu F. from MatamorT
as, both leaving at p. m. for the
southern end of their trades.
The business in both the freight and
passenger departments was exceeding
ly encouraging, all packets having al
most all they could carry.
At midnight the marks showed 3
feet inches and rising. This is very
encouraging, as the Pittsburg water is
just reaching this point. There is
not enough OF a rise to warrant a total
resumption of the packet navigation,
but with the ground in the condition it
is now in, it will take very little more
rain to afford a good boating stage.
The disappointment was great in
Pittsburg owing to the fact that the
rise fell short of a ccal stage, for
there were hundreds of rivermen look
ing for work and 100000 bushels of
coal is already loaded in the harbor
awaiting shipment south.
On Saturday night the Ben Hur will
arrive from Parkersburg, leaving at 9
o'clock for Pittsburg. From all APP
pearances she is new boat. being just
off the docks.
Capt. Calhount will arrive at Cap
tina to-day and take the Virginia home
to Pittsburg, where she will lay up
unless there is more water. She has,
during the summer, received thorough
renovation.
Dredging and scraping operations
have been begun at the Trap, at Sc
wickley, Capt. William Martin, of the
Davis Island dam, having ordered the
boats to work.

February, with the attack upon the
American troops following the action
of the Nebraskan sentinel.
The commission then takes up the
conditions of the country at the time
of their arrival, comparing it with con-
ditions existing at the time they left
a short time ago. A vivid picture is
given of the anarchy existing among
the inhabitants in and about Manila,
during the early spring.
The commission sums up the situation
at the time of their departure as fol-
lows:
when we left Manila a large vol
ume of business was being done, and
the streets were so crowded as to be
hardly safe. The native population was

PITTSBURG FIREMEN STRIKE.
The towboat flremen of Pittsburg
struck last night for $50 a month, the
scale of wages established by the Fire
mems Beneficial Association, and the
firemen have been granted the advance
where boats are running. The firemen
on the Twilight. Clipper, Delta, Chas.
Hook and Clifton, all running in the
Pittsburg pools, asked for the advance,
and on being refused quit work, but
were later given the scale price.
There was plenty of excitiment on
the Pittsburg wharf early yesterday
morning. The fireman on the Twilight
quit because Capt. Henry Siedel refus-
ed to grant the advance, until he con-
suited the boat owners, and the deck
hands also quit. They demanded $50 a
month, as did the deck hands on other
boats. and it is said that they were
granted the price.
The firemen have also decided that
where some boats only carried six fire.

EARLY MORNING FIRE.

A large chicken coop at the rear of
S. V. McCuskey's residence, No. 1905
Jacob street, caught fire about two
o'clock this morning and was COM
pletely destroyed. The fremen re-
sponded to an alarm from box 65 and
did excellent work in saving property
in the vicinity. A number of chickens
were burned. Part of the kitchen of
the McCuskey residence was damaged.
Two alarms were sent in, the other

NEW YORK, November 2.-George

NEW YORK, November George
Eixcn, featherweight champion of the
world, more than held his own tonight
against Will Curley, of England, and
after fighting twenty-five rounds, many
of which were rather tame, the Amer
lean was declared the winner and no
one complained.
Curley is a clever, game boy, but
Dixon is little bit clever and none the
less game. Diyon's victory was we'll
earned, and By his defeat of Carley he
re established what has always been
claimed, that he is the superior Of Jor-
dan, Palmer and all Englishmen who
have forfeited to Curley. Curley has
nc excuse to make for his defeat to-
right other than that he was out-class-
ed. Dixon was big favorite, as much
~ 100 to 80 being wagered on him.

DEAD NAN WON THE RACE
UNDER THE TAPE PULSELESs
BUT A WINNER.
Bicyclist Stricken with Heart Failure
Twenty-Five Yards from the Finish,
But Stayed to the End

SYDNEY. February IA dead man
has just won bicycle race. 1t occur
red at a big electric light carnival. In
a one mile track there were fifty en-
tries. some of the fastest men i'm Aus
tralia taking part in it. While 10000
people watched this particular race,
which was for a magnificent cup, offer
ed by the trustees of the Sydney Crick-
ct club, young James Somerville pass
ed under the tape a winner and dead
man. At the start he quickly forged
ahead, closely followed by another
crack rider named Percy Cliff. They
left forty-eight riders away in the rear
and shot around the brilliantly lighted
track almost wheel to wheel. The APP
plause was deafening as the men hit
the last lap. When within twenty five
yards of the tape Somerville, who still
led by half a wheel, was seen to relax
his hold on the handle bars. His ped
ais whirled around however, and he
pluckily held his position on the wheel.
Five yards from the tape Cliff put on
a tremendous squirt and struck Somer-
Ville's hind wheel shooting the wheel
with its then almost inanimate burden
like a rocket under the tape The big
crowd yelled wildly, but a silence like
death ensued when Somerville, after
crossing the tape, plunged headfOre-
most from the machine on the hard
track.
When picked up he was dead. The
doctors who examined him immediate
ly afterward said that a dead man had
by the strangest freak of fate and
fortune actually won the hottest cycle
race ever witnessed in Australia. They
declared that the unfortunate rider
must have been stricken with heart
failure when he was first seen to relax
his hold on the handle bars on the last
lap. How he succeeded in finishing the
race is a puzzle to them. In the race
in which young Somerville won the cup
and lost his life fifteen riders were in
jured. They claimed the electric lights
We're uncertain. In sporting circles an
effort is being made to do away with

petitioned to this effect.

HOPE FOR DREYFUS.

PARIS, February 22.-The Soir an
nounces that NJ. Manau the procurator
general, will submit his report in the
Dreyfus affair next week. The report
will ask the court of cessation, it is
said, to annul the conviction without
ordering a retrial.
If this be correct, it shows that the
evidence before the court not only has
proved Dreyfus innocent, but that the
crime for which he was punished never
existed as the French law allows the
court of cessation to quash a sentence
without retrial only when there is
proof that the offense alleged was new
er perpetrated.

from Cairo: The Khalifa is advancing

A foot note to the dispatch says:
The facts are that Colonel Kitchener's
scouts came in touch with the Khalifa
strongly intrenched with 10000 man,
and the British officer having only a
small force, he found it necessary to
retire on Omdurman. This retirement
the Khalifa regarded as a sign of
weakness, and it led him to rally his
forces to the advance. Lord Kitchen
er has 5000 men at Omdurman.
