Washington, Jan. II. President
Schurman, of Cornell university, was
at the white house yesterday and had
a talk with the president. On leaving.
he said that he had accepted posi-
ton on "a commission of five which is
to be appointed to study the CONNER

the other members Of the committee
win be Admiral Dewey, Gen. Otis, Col.
Charles DENLY and Prof Worcester Of
Ann Arbor university. The work of
the commission will be of purely eco
nomic and not OF political nature.
They will study the habits aud man
ners Of the Filipinos, the material re-
sources of the country and its com.
mercial possibilities, but they will not
attempt to deal with the problem of
government for the islands.
The commission which the president
is about TO appoint to proceed to the
Philippines will not be subject to the
confirmation of the United States sem

authority OF the president, and its eN-

hoped that the best results will follow
the visit, including the reinsurance of
the natives upon many points as to
which they are now doubtful.
1t will also be perceived that, by the

"Independence or Death"

Manila, Jan. 14.-The situation is un.
doubleday critical but Mai Gen. Otis
has it well in hand and there is no
such certainty of trouble as many be-
lieve. The rebels are concentrated on
the outskirts of the town and their
leaders have issued strict orders that
they shall act only on the defensive.
An accident might preci pitate trouble,
but the idea of IA rebel attack upon
Manila is ridiculous, as the Americans
absolutely control the position.
Aguinaldo has repubished the sec
ond manifesto in reply to the procla-
nation of Gen. Otis, which was re-
called on its first appearance, but it
has proved Intellectual. On Wednes-
day, IA false alarm, due to trivial incl
dents, occurring simultaneously in op-
posite parts of the city, led to gem
eral call to the United States forces.
In l5 minutes the entire city was COW
cred. The promptitude of the Ameri-
cans, while it created a scare for the
moment, effectually restored conf
dence throughout Manila and dispelled
the excitement due To "A passing fear
on the part of the citizens that an out
break was imminent.
1t is possible that the Filipinos, after
the diplomatic conferences that have
been had between the representatives
of Gen. Otis and Aguinaldo, have final
y come to understand that the eau
tious and conservative policy of the
Americans is not due to fear and they
will accept the inevitable with rood

a radical change in the grand

that grand jurys be called onl y

when he deems such jury
necessary and another that nine
grand jurymen may indict.

Protection, as given the
american people by the Re
publican party, is nothing more
nor less than robbery made
legal by law. The people who
work are the people robbed and
the favored few take the fruits
Of the labor Of the masses. In
Missouri aud in all other states
Of the union the great majority
belong to the class who are
robbed Of the fruits Of their
Ilbor. Then why should they
continue to support that party
which is against the best in.
terasts Of the masses? 1t Is
wall known that the Republican
party Is the party Of trusts and
that the grand old party Of
Jefferson is the parry which
