Philippine Commissicuer Discusses q
Len 9Th the Future Of the Islands.

Philippine Commissiouer Discusses al
Length the Future Of the Islands.
ITHACA, N. Y, Sept. 16.-President
Schurman Of the Philippine commits.
sion, in discussing the situation in the
islands, gave at length the conditions
a. he found them and said:
THE United States having assumed,
by q treaty Of peace with Spain. SOW
ereignty over the archipelago. became
responsible for the maintenance of
peace Or order, the administration of
justice; the security of property and
life among all the tribes of the archi-
pelago. This is IN obligation which
intelligent Filipinos. not less than the
white residents, expect us to fulfill.
Nothing will permit us to turn back.
In taking the Philippine islands we
annexed great responsibilities. The fact
that the responsibility is heavier than
most expected it would be is no excuse
for the failure to discharge it. re.
peat the Philippine question is simply a
question of national honor and obliga-
tion."
Congress Could Assist.
In reply to a question as to whether
anything was now left but to fight it
out. President Schurman said:
I'm my opinion much good will be
done by q declaration on the part of
congress of the form of government to
be established in the islands, or better
still, let congress establish a govern
ment for the Philippine islands and
have it put in force in all parts and
among all tribes hostile to the United
States. This would serve two purposes.
1t would distinguish between our
friends and enemies and treat the
former according to their deserts. It
would also give our enemies a demon
stration of free government on the part
OF the Americans, q very necessary un-
dertaking when it is remem bered that
the Filipinos pretend to be fighting for
independence"
Asked about the capacity of the Fill
Pine people to govern themselves Presi.
dent Schurman replied that they had
had no experience in self-government
except in municipal affairs and even
these were subject to the
Control Of the Spanish Authorities
He thought, however, that each tribe
might, subject to the supervision of q
wise general government, in
the main its W municipal and provin-
cial affairs. Supervision from Manila
would vary with the position which the
different tribes occupied in the scale of
civilization.
President Schurman seemed firm in
he decision that some form of home
rule for each of the tribes and under
the watchful supervision of the general
government at Manila was the solution
of the problem.
II have great confidence in the
lation OF the Philippine islands," he
said. land much sympathy for it's az.
pirations. A race should be Judged by
its best deeds, and an educated Filipino.
and each tribe and city has it's educated
men, would understand an educated
mar OF any other race. Among the
people there exists much ignorance and
q desire for education"

Even Gen. Shafter was heard to remark

10 the soldiers said:
"Volunteers Of the First South Dakota
As chief executive OF the state, l bade
you good bye at Sioux Falls fifteen
months ago, and as such 1 now welcome
you in the name of the state. We are
proud OF you, proud OF the record you

that this great nation must ever resort to

Its burdens br.vely. You have done 30;
you have discharged your whole duty a.
brave and loyal Americans and with your
duty we'll done you return to the homes
you love. Again | bid you well ome."
The dropping of courtmartial proceed
'ngs and making apologies all around
among the Unaffected officers has pro-
duced a Joyous feeling among ali South
Dakotans at San Francisco and also 10
the state at home. That men so brave
and loyal in every test should be har-
assed with personal differences at the
close OF their glorious career was not to
be tolerated and like sensible men they
decided they would not be. Now all is
harmony and good feeling 10 the con-
s~ciousness OF duty we'll done. Gov. Lee,
1t is said, would not discuss the new an.
polntments soon to be made in the regi-
ment. Under the new army bill another
MAJOR is to be appointed and besides the
adl uta1t and quartermaster are to be
made captains instead OF lieutena nts. A
commissary officer, with the rank of cap
tain, three battalion adjutants with the
rank OF first lieutenant and ordinance
and commissary seargeants are also to
be appointed. Then the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Lieutenant Hawk
ing, of'company B, is to be filled. The
majors place will be filled by either
Captain Englesby of Company II OF
Captain Won Houten, of Company d.
Friends of both are pulling wires. It is
quite probable that Sergeant Schlosser
Of Sioux Falls viii be appointed to the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Lieutenant Hawkins. The prospects for
the new appointments are now the sole
subject OF conversation. Increased
travel pay and the honor make the prizes
valuable.

DEs MONIES, Sept. l5.-Iowa is face

of the etate are unable to fill orders and
the railroads which usually have i'm
meuse stocks on hand at this season are
very short. The reason is that the
mine operators have been unable to &c.

other industries and also that that the
demand fer coal has been unprece-
dentedly large this year. Prices are GO

WHEELING. MAY ., 1890.
The Philippine Situation.

There Is no occasion for fearing that
the overtures Of the Filiplnos for peace
will fail on account of the one point
OF difference between the American
commander and the insurgent chief.
The forces Of Aguinaldo are completely
hemmed In, and escape Is impossible.
Nothing but surrender is left for them,
and on terms that will be satisfactory,
If not to Aguinaldo personally, certain
ly to his followers, who are anxious to
quit fighting. and escape from the
sufferlnss and hardships they are en-
during as q result OF the situation in
which they have been placed.
At Washington the greatest conf
dence Is felt in the manner In which
General Otis has affairs in hand, and
the army officials are reasonably sure
that, pending successful negotiations
for the yielding Of the Filipino leaders,
there will be very little lighting in the
Philippines. and perhaps non. at all
Of a serious nature. II Aguinaldo is
playing for time be can benefit no one
but himself.
One Of the good pieces Of news re-
ceivcd yesterday was the confirmation
by Admiral Dewey Of the report that
Lieutenant Gilmore and ten of the
Yorktown's boat crew, who were sup
posed to have been lost. are safe. but
are prisoners at the insursent head
quarters. and efforts are being made
for their release. This has been q
source of relief at the American head
quarters and in naval circles. and hopes
for their safe return are expressed.
Taken altogether, the situation in the
Philippines is such as TO warrant the
prediction Of early peace.

Bryan and Tnmmnny

1t develops that an effort has been
made by Tammany to bring about a
compromise on the silver issue with the
Bryan Democracy, and that the propo-
sition was made to Bryan himself while
he was in New York. The proposal was
that, while there need not be dcclara-
ton in the platform against silver. II
might be placed In the background,
and that the candidate should be a
man taken from the conservative
ranks who may favor silver but do not
regard 1t as an important Democratic
principle" It is related that Colonel
Bryan declined to make any such conf
promise, which he denounced as cow
ardly.
If the Tammany bosses who made
this proposition imagined for n moment
that the public, even the free silver part
OF 1t. could be deceived by such strad-
die they have poor opinion of the in
telligence OF the voters of the country.
The result indicates that Colonel Bryan

their principles fer n cowardly compro-
mise-for what? For office, and for
nothing else. That Is the boosted Tam

Coke Trade Improves.

Some OF our Democratic friends, who
are continually contending that there
is no Increase OF prosperity. that no.
body is pronting. by the great and un-
precedented volume OF trade and pro-
duction. are forced. in spite OF them
selves, to almost daily record the In
creasing business and the larger num-
Der of men being employed. as well rs
wage increases or rcstorations due to
increased business and better prices.
One, Of the latest and most remarkable
cases OF an evidence Of this prosperity
due to the boom In the Iron and steel
Industries. Is the big advance In the
wages Of the coke workers In the Con-
nellsvIlle region. the H. c. Frick Com
pany having voluntarily increased the
pay OF 1000 employees from 6 to Il per
cent. The reason given for this ad-
vance Is the promising condition Of the
coke trade, which the company says is
now beginning to share In the general
prosperity OF the country.
rs producer OF coke West Virginia
Is interested In the prosperity OF that
Industry. During the less prosperous
times her coke trade suffered along with

revival which is now occurring. in
creaslng the demand for the product,

The Cuban people fear that the pay
ment OF the Cuban troops will be fol-
lowed by an outbreak OF brigandage
and other laWlessness. The dlsband-
ment OF $4,000 men. who have for years
been hgthing the Spaniards. and who
were gathered in from the mountains,

Of 100000 among them in pay may do
certain amount OF good to the best
element. as aftording them something
to, resume life OF peaceful Industry,
but the people are pessimistic enough
to expect considerable lawlessness. For
this reason. 1t Is stated. the planters
are suspending improvements and in
vestment projects are held back until
the developments of the results of the
disarmament Of SO many idle men are
known.
In other ways. matters seem to be
getting along well In Cuba, and the re-
vival OF the productiveness of the soil
Is apt to show good results this year.
