That is the Burden of the Talk
of the FilipinOs in
Manila.
The MONEYED LEADERS DESIRE PEACE
On the Recommendation of President
Schurman the Local Peace Party
Has Started a Newspaper.
The Insurgent Commissioners and Their
Families spent sunday Visiting and
Conferring with Members Of
Filipino Association.

MANILA, May 23.-The United States
Filipino commissioner has submitted
to the Filipino commission draft of
the form of government. The presi-
dent is preparing to establish ac-
cording to this plan: governor gen.
eral will be appointed for the island,
as will also be a cabinet and later an
advisory council to be elected by the
people.
MANILA, May 22.-The Filipino COM
missioners, Gen. G,egorio Del Pillar,
Lieut.. Col. Alberto Barretto, Maj. Zea-
leita and Senior Gracio Gonzaga, with
their families, spent the day in visit
ing friends in Manila, and conferred
with Senores Florentino Torres, Pablo
Ocampo and Teodore Yanco, the MEM
bers of the local Filipino association,
who will participate in the meetings
with the American commissioners.
Senor Torres was member of
Aguinaldo's commission before the
war. He opposes independence and
favors autonomy and he has been most
influential in persuading the followers
of Aguinaldo to make the present ad-
vances.
Autonomy is the burden of the talk
Of the Filipinos, and it is thought that
the kind they wish for would be little
different from the scheme of an Amer
lean protectorate which they talked Of
before the war.
Senior Palermo, who has succeeded
the irreconcilable Mabino as president
Of the Filipino so-called cabinet, is q
student and writer of ability. He once
drew up a plan of autonomy under
Spain which the Spanish government
promised to adopt, there then being a
troublesome rebellion op foot. The
American commissioners, in studying
the question of Philippine gorvern-
ment, have found several good points
in this scheme. Palermo is now the
strong man in Aguinaldo's party.
All the moneyed leaders of the in
surrection see that it is hopeless and
are anxious for peace. Those who want
money think they may profit by har-
RAISING the Americans while longer.
On the suggestion of Mr.. Schurman,
president of the American commission,
the local Filipino peace party has
started newspaper.
MANILA, May 2a.-The Filipino COM
missioners, who arrived here on Satur-
day to negotiate with the United States
commissioners, held a conference Mon
day morning with Messrs. Schurman,
Worcester and DENLY. They say that
they are without power to bind the So
called Filipino government in any
particular and can only refer any re-
suits Of the present negotiations to
! Aguinaldo.

UP THE AMAZON RIVER.
Commander Todd,of the wilminton, Sends
IN Account Of his voyage-He A..
csnded to Yuquitos, In Peru.

WASHINGTON. May 1s.-The navy de-
partment has just received from Com
mander Todd, of the Wilmington, an
interesting account of the remarkabl
voyage of an exploration up the Ann
AEON river made by that We sci in April
last: The Wilmington was, instructed
by the navy department to push on up
the great river and ascertain how far
It was navigable. Capt. Todd reports
that he assembled to Yuquitos, in Peru,
which 10 about 3, 100 miles up the river.
This voyage was made, as he says,
against an adverse current, averaging
three knots for the entire distance.
Manaos at the junction of the Rio
Negro. with the Amazon, has here.
tofore been regarded as the head of
navigation for steam vessels, and from
that fact 1t has grown to be prosper
GUS city Of 10000 inhabitants. Conse-
quently, the intention Of Capt. Todd
to ascend the river above that point
caused CONSERVATION, and in the end,
as revealed by sub equent reports, led
to some adverse demonstrations against
the American consul and against the ma
tive pilots who assisted the Whining
toms commander to make the voyage.
Capt. Todd succeeded, notwithstand-
ing these obstacles, in ascending the
Amazon for 1000 miles above Manaos,
and had it not been for lack of fuel he
could have steamed about 800 miles
further, he believes. AS it was, the
Wilmington, which entered the Am.
azon from the Atlantic, was within 4OG
miles of the Pacific and we'll into Peru
before she turned back down the river.
The possibilities of the successful
navigation Of the vast and hitherto
unknown interior of South America.
revealed by Capt. Todd's voyage, will,
It is believed, be of the greatest com.
mercial Importance. Capt. Todd shows
that the Amazon, like the Mississippi,
10 so changeable in its channel as not
TO permit Of successful charting, SO
that expert pilots will always be re-
quired.

I. L. Osborne, brother of our old time friend Hank, left on the Topeka for Se- attIe. From there he goes to Butte City, Mont, and to Salt Lake City to arrange his business preparatory to coming to Alaska to live. MT. Osborne goes with the intention ofreturning to Douglas City with his family about the first of November. He has studied the situation pretty carefully during the forty days spent with us and has come to the conclusion that the future out look for Alaska is bright one and he is willing to cast his lot among the many good people he has met on the Island.
 Through the death of his brother, Hank, he has become slightly interest ed on the Island and will endeavor to help in the promotion of the best inter- ests of the camp.
 During his absence he has placed his business in the hands of our friend Chas Wortman who will attend to the collection of rents etc. until his return or until other arrangements are made.

AN uNsopHIsTIcArED CAPTAIN.
The Lone Fisherman's Rudder Would Not Re- spond.-The Captain Did Not Know Why.
 On the Beach.

The Lone Fisherman, one of the most faithful little boats in Alaska, was mak ing her regular trips last Wednesday and nothing unusual occurred during the day, but when the little craft pulled up to the wharf on her o'clock p. m. trip the stern of the boat would not swing in to the wharf The head line was fastened and Capt Martin was de- termined to make a correct and elo- quent landing for he had an unusually large passenger list. The wheel was turned into the correct position and the little jingle bells gave the engineer a command to increase the revolutions of the propeller and it pounded the water into foam Then the boat was backed up and then went ahead again, but the stern remained out in the chan nel toward the opposite shore and the propeller and jingle bells under the command of Capt Martin, most com potent mariner, could not get the boat up to the side of the float. Captain Martin has an abundance of determin- ation and he stayed by the proposition for long time, but finally had to give in and the passengers were landed from the foremost end of the boat. Those who saw the Captain were sorry for him. Poor fellow, he probably don't even now know why he could not land his boat-it never occurred to him that he had two newly married couple on board. The Captain is an innocent, un- suspecting, unsophisticated man. The Lone Fisherman was run onto the beach the next morning where she re- mained for several days.

talks that kind of stuff instead of sticking to the good old bible version of the creation of man. The News has been telling these preachers that if they can't preach and believe the bible to not try to pull it to pieces, but let 1t alone. Ifthey can't do any good to not do any harm. We are more than pleas ed to say that in one instance, our crit icisms have been the cause of reclaim ing an Alaska preacher that was stray ing from the fold.
 Third: Oh yes, many of the saloon men take our paper and they read it too. The saloon men in Alaska are splendid lot of men. The fact is, they are different from the eastern liquor dealers. They believe the bible and give literally to the churches, and give a good support to this paper No, we do not preach any. All our work in that line is done through the columns of this paper.
 Fourth: Oh yes, the missions have done much good for the Indians. Ma ny are christians and they attend Sun day school and church every Sunday The progress among these people how ever, has not been rapid, but though slow, it is apparent,

THE COMING MAYOR,
Louis L. BlumenthaI's New Store Room A
 Thing of Beauty. For Men Only.

Mir. Louis L. Blumenthal, the coming mayor of Juneau, has fitted up the finest clothing and gents furnishing goods establishment in Alaska. He re- tains that same old name, however, the Brownsville Woolen Mills, that has al ways been so popular and the synonym of honesty and fair dealing Mir. Blu menthal for more than year has occu- pied one room in the Franklin Block, but the change he has made was in ad- ding the corner room to his establish ment which gives him two large rooms with large arch between the two. MT. Blumenthal has also branched out in the line of goods for his stock now in cludes everything that men wear, which means from pair of socks to fine hat, and from underwear to the finest suit of clothes and overcoat. We havn't named shoes but he has them. The proprietor of this store is an as- thetic and artistic fellow, good dres- ser himself and as good judge of the correct thing in clothing as any man in Alaska, and if you buy at this store you will surely get the correct thing. If you want to see a fine store just drop in and see the new store and you will say it is daisy.

ALASKA SCHOOLS.

We have received from Prof. Kelly of Sitka, the official School Reports of Dr. Sheldon Jackson, the general agent for Alaska, for the years 1892 to 1898 in elusive. These reports are full of infor- nation concerning the schools in this district and copiously illustrated with cuts of school houses, teachers and pu- pills. The school department of Alas ka has no doubt been working under a great disadvantage owing to lack of appreciation on the part of congress and an appropriation sufficient to put our school system upon proper basis. In former years and under democratic rule, the annual appropriations were cut down to s3O,OOOOO. The Secretary of the Interior, on the recommends tion of pr. Jackson, urged congress to increase the appropriations to S5oOOO. but in vain. The amount of money that has been expended on the educa- tional system of Alaska is inadequate, and now that the matter will be forci- bly presented to congress, we doubt not that more money will be placed at the disposal of the general agent and his assistants.

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, Sept. 2Oth 1899. EDITORS DOUGLAS ISLAND PAPER,
 TREADwELL, ALASKA.

Dear Sirs:-
 I was informed a few days ago that you were running re- ligious paper in Alaska and l enclose ten dollars to help the good cause along. I can hardly understand how you can be successful in publishing such paper in Alaska. Perhaps am misinformed as to the condition of church affairs in your country. have never seen a copy of your paper. Won't you please answer a few questions in it's columns and send me copy.
 First. Have you any churches on Douglas Island, if so, how many and what denomination?
 Second. How is church work pro. gressing in the various portions of Al aska?
 Third. Do any saloon men take your paper, and do you ever preach any yourself?
 Fourth. Is any missionary work be- ing done among the Indians of Alaska?
 Respectfully yours.
 PETER Y. JOHNSON.
 We thank the gentleman from Rock ford for his generosity and good wishes. It was a question for some time if re- Iigious paper could be made to pay ex- penses in Alaska, but the answer has been finally solved in the affirmative. But our correspondent wants some in- formation and we will proceed to an swer his questions in the order named:
 First: We have two good church buildings, the Congregational and the Friends, the former costing some $500, and the latter about S2,OO0. The Epis- copal church holds regular services in this city and the M. E. Church owns a lot upon which it intends to build. The pastors of the two first named or ganizations reside in this city. They are Rev. H. Hammond Cole and Rev. c. N. Replogle. Truer and more faith ful Christian workers cannot be found and they are doing glorious work on Douglas Island. We also have Cath olic church, which is small building, but which will however give way to a fine new and expensive building within the next six months. This church or ganization is in most fourishing con- dition. It also conducts hospital that is one of the best in the west. The Rev. Father P. c. Bougis, a highly polished and educated gentleman, who is as pop ular for his kind genial manner as he is for his christian virt ues is the priest in charge.
 Second: Church work in Alaska is gaining ground. In some places there is lack of the right kind of preach ing and this paper has made strenuous efforts to induce preachers to preach the bible as it is. Occasionally some church sends man up here who thinks man descended from monkey, and
