WAR ii FULLY ENDORsED.
PhIlippins C0mmission Says IL W.
UnavoidAble.

Philippins CSmmission Says II We
Unavoidable.
WARRINGTON, Nov. 3.-The Philip
pine commission yesterday submitted
to the president a preliminary report.
The report appears to be compact
summary Of conditions on the islands
as the commission left them; OF the
historical events which preceded the
Spanish war and led to the original
Filipino instruction; of the exchange
between Admiral Dewey and the other
American commanders and the jnsur-
gents; the breaking out and progress
of the present instruction, and finally
statement Of the capacity of the Fill
pinos for self-government. A notable
feature of the report is a memorandum
by Admiral Dewey explanatory OF his
relations with Aguinaldo, in which the
statement is made by the admiral that
he had no alliance with Aguinaldo.
The report fully endorses the war;
holds that the people of the islands are
incapable of governing themselves
and concludes as follows:
''Our control means to the inhabl-
tants of the Philippines internal peace
and order, a guarantee against foreign
aggression, and against the dismem.
berment of their country; commercial
and industrial prosperity, and as large
a share of the affairs of government as
thew shall prove fit to take. When
peace and prosperity shall have been
established throughout the archipela-
90, when education shall have become
general, then, in the language OF a
leading Filipino, his people will, under
our guidance, become more American
than the Americans themselves.

ner.

OELwEIN, Nov. 1.-The G.. 6. w. had a
disastrous rear-cnd collision between
fredericksburg and Sumner, caused
by the heavy fog. An eastbound
freight train was being run in two
sections. The first section stalled on
a heavy grade and the second section,
following close behind, crashed into
the rear end before there was time to
get a flagman out, Or even time for the
trainmen to get out of the caboose. A
stockman by the name of Robinson, OF
ReinbeclS, was caught in the wreck,
having one leg severed at the thigh.
He was SO badly injured that he died
in the afternoon. One of the brake.
men of the forward train was also
quite badly, but not severely hurt.
The engineer, fireman and one brake
man of the rear train were also injured.
The rear engine left the track and
turned over into the ditch, while the
caboose and four freight cars OF the
forward train were reduced to kind
ling wood.

Des Moines Dispatch: Speaking of
the Schofield, case Coroner Ankcny in
an interview said: "In all the annals
of crime in this western country there
has not been a more remarkable case
than this. The men who murdered
Mabel Schofeld; who took her body to
the river bank and placed it in the
water; who SO completely concealed
the means by which death was brought
about and who so completely d;sssf
peared and destroyed every clue, are
criminals than whom none more dan
gerous could be imagined. The mental
agility, the resourcefulness, the care
for details in the execution of a we'll
laid plan-all these indicate marvel
Gus criminal capacity. I have never
seen more profound problem in crime
detection than is involved in the effort
to trace back from the body we took
out of the river and determine how it
came there, who put it there, how
death was caused. and who caused it. :"
Coroner Ankeny expresses the most
absolute conviction that Mabel Scho-
field was murdered. He has main
tanned This theory from the start, al
though he has not deemed it advisable
to say much about his view.
