"a Governor General to be appointed by
the President, Cabinet to be appointed
by the Governor General, all the Judges to
be appointed by the President, the heads
Of departments and Judges to be either
Americans or Fllipinos. or both, and also
general Advisory Council, its members to
be chosen by the people by form OF SUI
frage to be hereafter carefully determined
upon.
"The President earnestly desires that
bloodshed cease and that the people of the
Philippines, at an early date. enjoy the
largest measure Of self-government COM
patible with peace and order"
The United States Commission prepared
the scheme and the President cabled his
approval OF the form OF the document.
The Filpinos have made no definite prop
osition, except for a cessation of HOSTILE
ties until they can present the question
OF peace to the people. Professor Schur-
man told the FilipiIos they had no means
Of gathering the people together, as the
also reminded them that liberal form
6f koyernment was offered them,
and pointed out that it was
better than the conditions existing under
Spanish rule. Gozagra, the President OF
the Filipino Commission, replied that moth
ing could be worse than Spanish rule, and
admitted that the form Of government pro-
posed was liberal.
The civilian members ofthe Filipino Com
mission have declined to cooperate with
the other members of that commission as
the former consider Aguinaldo's latest de-
mand to be preposterous, after Maior-Gen-
eral Otis's refusal of an armistice. referring
to his wish for time In order to. consult the
Filipino Congress.
Reports received from persons who have
arrived from the interior show that no
troops are left in the northern province.
They were all drafted south after the out
break Of war. The villages on the western
coast are almost deserted, and the Ilocanos
especially are desirous Of joining the
Americans, II only for the purpose of crush
trg the Tagalos.
1t is added that the only Filipino troops
now left are 1000 men under General Luna,
at Tarlace, and about 1000 under General
Pho del Pillar Even these are demoralized
and short of arms and supplies. Many OF
their rifles are disabled, and the Filipinos
are unable to repair them, owing to the
lack of mechanics and materials.

The Uses of Zinc.

The largest consumers Of zinc are
the manufacturers of galvanized iron
work. Then come the brass founders,
for zinc is an important element in
brass alloys, and large quantities are
used in the sheet form and as an ele-
ment in galvanic batteries. Zinc is
put under stoves and is used to line
bathtubs.
Great quantities of the ore are used
also to make zinc white. or zinc oxide,
for paint, but this is made direct from
the ores and is not materially affected
by the present rise Of values, the zinc
oxide having gone up only about half
cent a pound in price. Of this the
United States imported at one time
about 80, 900 barrels year. Now we
can export it as we do the metal and
ore. Our exports of the ore were
only. 48, 600 pounds in 1896, but last
year rose to 21, 040, 900 pounds, while
our exports of pig rose in the same
period from about 100000 pounds
to 21, 600, ,000.-New York Sun.

sage to Both Houses.
ALBANY, N. Y. (Speciao. Governor
Roosevelt sent to the Legislature a special
message suggesting amendments to the
Ford Francise Tax bill. After brief dis.
cussion in each House the Senate referred
the message to the Committee on Taxation
and Retrenchments, and In the Assembly
it was laid on the table and ordered printed.
The Governor says In the message that
the principle OF the Ford bill taxing fran
chises as realty should be retained, but
that the taxes should be assessed by the
State Tax Commission. He also believes
that local taxes now paid by corporations
should be deducted from the taxes as.
sessed under this proposed general
scheme. Another amendment recon-
mended by the Governor is that the pro-
posed law take effect on October next, SO
that 1t shall become operative throughout

THREE PRAYERS.

An infant in its cradle slept,
And in its sleep it smiled
And one by one three women knelt
To kiss the fair haired child:
And each thought of the days 10 be
And breathed a prayer, half-silently.
One poured her love on many lives,
But knew loves toll and care;
Its burdens oft had been to her
A heavy weight to bear;
She stopped and murmured lovingly.
Not burdened hands, dear child for
thee"
One had not known the burdened hands,
But knew the empty heart
At lifes rich banquet she had set
An unfed guest, apart;
"Oh, not" she whispered tenderly,
IAN empty heart dear child. for
thee"
And one was old: she had known care,
She had known loneliness;
She knew God leads us by no path
His presence cannot bless;
She smiled, and murmured trustfully,
Gods will, dear child, Gods will for
thee!'

Imprisonment, torture, and death for
daring to prosnt his bill!
The prisons in Turkey are almost as
bad as those in Morocco. only the Ar
menian affairs have SO aroused the Eu-
ropean representatives out there that the
sublime porte-the porte of sublime dew
iltry-cannot treat its prisoners quite as
1t used to do. Even now, however, most
of the men and women in Turkish prls-
ons would starve to death were it not for
the food brought to them by merciful and
daring friends-daring because more than
one has himself been cast into the prison
for bringing food to another.
Disease is the predominant feature OF
Turkish prisons, and the most horrible
diseases known to modern science.
Should a prisoner be fortunate enough to
regain his freedom-an improbable con-
tingency-it is hardly possible that he
can escape death, for the lodging of dis
ease in a Turkish prison is by no means
an easy task.

IN CASE OF GROWTH.

"Is provision made for a growth of
the colony or will the number be re-
stricted to 1,000?"
THAT extra 1000 acres on which we
have the option is to be taken in case
of growth, though we have now much
more than enough land for the 1000
colonists and their families"
How large community do you ex-
pect to have cventually?"
Eventually" said Mr.. Perry, after
a moments hesitation, 1--WE expect to
have a city of $4,000 inhabitants"
That would mean enough votes to
decide the political complexion of the
county, probably" suggested the re-
porter.
1T certainly would" was the reply.
Those votes are going together too,
for the best good Of the community.
If we had the space we could have a
city of $4,000 there in year; but under
our system 5000 would be about as
many as would be desirable. Come
down next spring and land at our
wharf and take our town street car
through the place-all the principal
streets named after prominent col
ored men-and l think we will be able
to show you community that will

Since Mr.. Perry began his work he
has had hundreds OF letters from ap-
plicants in the south. A Texas man

workers Many of his correspondents
were graduates of industrial schools
in the south. The president OF well
known colored institute wrote sug-

ony in the south, and declaring that If

IT, $4,000 OF the best colored people in

there. Still another correspondent

| a chicken farm, he said, with 5000

as the colonlsts were to be of good
| principles, he could not conscientipusly
| submit their morals at the very outset
to such a strain as the establishment
| of a chicken farm within its borders
would amount to. At least a dozen
Ibcorrespondents wrote Offering to sup
| ply from 1000 TO 5000 colonists. From
the general tone OF the letters, it would
appear as If certain southern states
were in danger of losing their labor
ing population as soon as opportunity
for emigration offers.
