A PHlLlPrlNE COMMISSION.
Fresident VIII Send Experts to Report on
the Situ,tion.

Fresioent VIII Send Experts to Report on
| the Situ,tion.
| denver, Jan. 16.-A special dispatch
10 the Denver Republican from Wash
ington says:
resident Mckinley has decided to
SEM commission to the Philippines
10 make thorough study OF the situ-
atioh ana advise him as to what the
policy of the United States should be
regarding these islands.
lie mas asked the following gentle
men to serve on the commissions:
rear Admiral George Dewey, COM
mander of the Asiatic squadron.
Major General L. S. Otis, military
governor of the Philippines.
Prof. ]. C. Schurman, president Of
Cornell University.
Colonel Charles DENLY, former min
lister to China. and now member of
the war Investigation commission.
BriSadier General Charles b. Whit
tier of New York, recently on duty ut
Manila.
Admiral Dewey will be president of
the commission. 1t is now only a ques-
tion as to whether or not the gentle
men mentioned will consent to serve
and as to the date when the commits
sion Will start for the Philippines.
The fact that President Schurman
has been summoned to Washington to
confer with the President indicates
that President Mckinley contemplates
appointing the commission immediate
ly, though there is probability that he
may wait for the ratification OF the
peace treaty.
Tht President desires not only Prof.
Schurman's Views regarding the future
attitude of this country toward the
Philippines, but advice as to the phases
of the question that ought to be con-
sidered by a commission.
Should he consent to serve there will
he little difficulty in making up the rest
of the personnel of the commission. as
all of the other men mentioned are
thoroughly familiar and Interested In
the subject and will doubtless be glad
to accept.
President Mckinley is not averse to
the Filipinos having Independence if it
can be proved that they are capable of
maintaining it. He is not averse to ac-
cepting all responsibility of maintain
ing sovereignty and control of the Phil
ippines permanently. But he wants to
be sure of his ground before taking
any definite stand.
1t Is believed that the determination
to appoint commission will have II
good effect on the situation in the SEN
ate.
Those Senators who have been dis
posed to oppose the treaty on the
ground the President had been given
no advice as to the future control and
disposition of the islands will see that
he has determined to obtain all the
fncts through the medium of non
partisan commission, composed of com
petent men. before making any recon-
mendations.

Within the territory north of the
Ohio river and east of the Mississippi,
the railroad carriers are transporting
the larger part of the interstate traffic
at rates less than those shown on the
published tariffs filed with the COM
merce commission, which are by stat
ute the only lawful rates. While this
condition continues there will exist
the unjust determinations and the un-
just preferences and advantages be-
tween persons, localities and particu-
lar descriptions of traffic, the preven-
ton of which is the main object of the
act of congress establishing the inter
state commerce commission. Only by
securing the uniform charging of the
published rates can the just equality
of service and of charge required by
law be secured either between persons
or between localities.

Cenfueros Fu,, of spanIards.

Cienfuegos, JAN. 16-The Spanish
soldiers, who are thickly quartered in
the warehouses and along the wharvcs,
swarm through this city day and
night. Their officers crowd the hotels.
The soldiers are poorly fed and have
had no pay for months. They are
quiet enough. but their presence
makes impossible proper cleaning of
the town and prevents activity on the
part of the American administration.
Twenty-seven thousand Spanards
still remain in the vicinity of Cienfue-
gos, but one transport is now loading
and twelve others are expected to ar
rive at an early date. 1t Is improba-
bic, however, that the evacuation VIII
be completed much before the middle

the first class will be graduated after
the February Semi-annual eNamina-

active service Immediately thereafter.

was called and proceeded to the scene
of disturbance at double-quick and
with fixed bayonets speedily dispersed
the crowd, which was fast becoming
ugly.
The officer in command explained to
the proprietor that the flag ought to
be lowered, because 1t was likely to
produce further disorder The proprie-
tor, in reply, assured the officer that
no offense had been intended, and
that, having seen the English and Ger
man flags flying, he thought he would
be at liberty to raise the flag of Spain.
Two members of the company lowered
the flag.

The second international congress
of settlement and social workers will
be held In Chicago during the second
week of next May. The sessions of the
congress will be held in the Auditor
ium in connection with Hull house.
which will be ready for occupancy by
that time. The names of many sociol
ogists of international reputation will
appear on the program and noted for
eign workers will discuss social ques-
tions. The program is being prepared
largely under the supervision Of Miss
Addams. The social settlement Idea
In America is less than fifteen years
old, and In 1895 there were less than
fifty settlement houses in the entire
country. Today Chicago alone has
thirteen social settlements, with some
thing like 800 resident workers.

The remarks of Rev. DR.. j. I. Vance
of the First Presbyterian church of
Nashville, Tnn., recently, were in
tune with the time. DR.. Vance urged
that the use of the terms north" and
south" as applied to the church be
abandoned The point is well taken.
The sooner all terms and expressions
that are reminders of Mason and Dix
on's line fall Into disuse the better. AS
long as they are part of our daily
speech they help unconsciously to keep
up factional spirit.

OFF FOR M MANILA.
Two Regiments of Regulars to Sail From
New York

New York.
Chicago. Ian. 15.-The Fourth regu-
lar infantry, recruited up to its full
strength of over 1000 men, in com
mand of Colonel Robert III. Hall, left
Fort Sheridan to-day on its long Jour-
ney to the Philippines, where the reei-
ment has been ordered for service.
Hundreds of people gathered at the
station at the fort, where the regiment
has been stationed so long, ana many
affecting scenes We're witnessed be-
tween the blue-clad soldiers and the
wives and sweethearts they We're
bidding farewell.
The most disconsolate ones were the
members of the regiment whom the
fevers and hardships of the CUBAN
campaign had rendered unit Tor trop-
ical service, every one Of whom VINO
could stand, waded through the mud
to see the regiment depart.
The regiment left Fort Sheridan for
the East In three special trains, forty
five Pullmans and tourist sleeping cars.
The trains We're switched from the Chi
cngo & Northwestern to the Fort
Wayne tracks at the Union Depot In
Chicago. and Immediately left for New
York, where Tuesday the regiment
will embark on the transport General
Grant for the trip to Manila via the
Suez canal.
A number of the command officers,
Including Colonel Hall and Lieutenant
Colonel j. NJ. Sannow, were accom-
panied by their families. The voyage
will occupy about five or six weeks.
Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 15.-The first
detachment of the Se~enteeenth Unit
ed States infantry left Columbus at .
p. III. to-day for New York, ell route
to the Philippines.
The departure of the troops was the
occasion for great public demon
stration In which not fewer than 5O,-
600 people participated.

A new use has been found for steel
in the manufacture of harness. An
English firm makes a steel trace, con-
sisting of narrow ribbon of the
metal, from three-fourths of an inch
to one inch wide, rolled very thin and
cased in leather A trace of this kind
has attained tensile breaking strain
of 4.575 pounds, while an ordinary
leather trace of the best quality. tested
at the same time, broke at strain of
2,700 pounds. Besides being lighter
and stronger than the ordinary trace,
the steel ribbon is about 20 per cent
cheaper.

EXAMINATION.
The Springfield herald., 1899-01-20

Gloves were customary New Years
gifts in the sixteenth century, and oc-
casionally a sum of money was given
inside which was called glove money.
Sir Thomas More having as lord chan
cellor once decided a cause in favor of
lady, she sent him or the following
New Years pair of gloves with forty
gold coins called angels in them. Sir
Thomas returned the gold with this
note: Mistress, since it were against
good manners to refuse your New
Years gift, 1 am content to take your
gloves. but as for the lining. utterly
refuse it."

southern contemporary publishes
an article in a recent issue urging
Georgia farmers to SOW more oats in
the future. Appended are the reasons
offered to support its advice: Take
some of the cotton land that with SO
per acre expended in commercial fer
tilizers will make the governmental re-
port average of 219 pounds of lint cot
ton per acre, which is about $40 gross
receipt per acre. 1t will cost you 81
per acre with the closest economy to
produce 1t, leaving you SO an acre. We
will SOW it in oats; this land, with the
same amount of manure, will make
thirty bushels of oats per acre, which,
sold at 40 cents per bushel, will give
you $12 per acre, expenses Sc per acre,
and you have net Sc per acre, against
the SO per<acre with cotton. If these
calculations are not true. and are not
facts easily worked out, we would be
glad to be shown why"
