the amount paid to Maliotoa Laupepea,
The United States Consul, Lieutenant

Treasury, refused to pay the money de-
manded, but the Chief Justice, Mr..

WILL DROP
SILVER AND
FIGHT TRUSTS
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May 10.-Former Gov
ernor William ]. Stone of Missouri,
when he came to New York few days
ago had another mission besides that
Of warning Eastern Democrats who
bolted in 1896 that the doors of the next
Democratic National Convention will be
barred to them, as told in The Call to-
day. This second mission was to in
vite the Western mems pick of the
Eastern flock to attend a big antitrust
dinner that is TO be held in ST. Louis
on May %.
To that dinner Stone has hidden at
least two New Workers who are not tied
absolutely to the theory of 16 to l, on
which Stone says Bryan will be re-
nominated. One of these is Augustus
van Wyck, who, while he supports the
Democratic ticket, is a bimetallist and
believer in the idea that Congress is
the body that should settle the cur
rency question. Another is Oliver P.
Belmont, who has Travelled with Bryan.
and whose name is brought back to
New York by every Western and
southern Democrat who comes here as
that Of one who may run for the Vice
iSSIuCl4Cy Ou bryan s ticket.
Belmont is confessedly a gold Demo-
crat. He has said so many times. but
each time he has rounded out the
period with a saving clause which
stated that If the majority of his party
should decide in favor of free silver
he would stand by the majority.
Van Wyck has been asked to sneak
at the antitrust dinner Stone is the
active spirit back of the antitrust din
ner, which Bryan will attend. and
Democrats in the East look to If to
result in making of him national chair
man to succeed Senator Jones, who is
in poor health.
Eastern men also regard it as a
change in the tactics on Bryan's part.
1t will force to the front the issue that
they think is the most important Of
any suggested for platform.

FIVE-STORY WAREHOUSE
DESTROYED BY FIRE
One of the Brave Firemen Comes in
Contact With Electric Wires
and Is Killed

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 10.-The big
fve-story warehouse of the Newly Trans
fer and Storage Company at 1916 and 1918
Union avenue was destroyed by fire to-
night. The loss is estimated at over
800 900.
James F. McNellis, fireman, foreman
of truck company 4, was killed. After the
falling of a rear wall McNellis and five
other firemen went in upon the debris
with line of hose. The foreman came
in contact with live electric wire that
had been carried down from the roof of
the building and was killed.
The hanging wire struck McNellis on
the forehead and the shock caused him to
plunge forward into a network of live
wires, where his companions saw him die.
Two of the firemen were severely shocked
in their efforts to recover the body Nc
Nellis' face was terribly burned where the
flesh had been in contact with the wires.
The fire, which is supposed to have
started in a boxcar that had been run into
the building on the company's switch. had
gained such headway when the f1remen
arrived that all they could do was to keep
the fire from spreading to the other build
ings in the wholesale district. The de-
stroyed building, which was owned by
Frank Dearborn, was valued at $25 900 and
was insured for 600 Members of the
Newby Company estimate the value of
the contents at about $50 600 and say there
will be little salvage.

The United States Philippine Com
mission has been considering provin-
cial constitution for the island of Ne
gros, which was framed by General
James f. Smith and leading natives. 1t
is largely modelled after the constltu-
tion of California. While it has many
good points, the commission will prob
ably recommend a uniform government
for all the provinces. This constitution,
If is intended, will give the natives self
government, cooperating with the mil
itarv regime Work on the constitution
has been apportioned to the several
members of the Philippine Commission.
The report of President Schurman
will be special to national provincial

MILES SEEKS
W.. BRYAN'S
INFLUENCE
The General Yet Has a Hope
of Securing Congressional
Action on Bad Beef.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, May 10-A Washington
special to the Inter Ocean says: Cen
eral Miles is observing the letter but
not the spi, t, of the obligation to ac-
cept the report of the army beef court
of inquiry as final He still talks to
friends about a packed court and
they are quietly working for Congress
sional investigation. William J. Bryan's
influence has been sought It is stated
on good authority that even before the
report was made public Miles COM
municated with Bryan and suggested
to him the political advantage of Con-
gressional investigation, pushed by
Democrats. expressing the belief that
enough administration Repub-
licans could be found to vote with the
Democrats to secure such an investiga-
ton.
1t was pointed out to the silver leader
that the people would be with Miles re-
gardless of whether or not he was vim
dicated by the inquiry board and that
this influence could be used to advance
the interests Of the young Nebraskan
if he openly espoused the cause of the
general, who was being prosecuted by
men responsible for killing soldiers
with bad beef. Whether Bryan took
notice of Miles letter is not known.
Champions of Miles are determined
the beef controversy shall not be
dropped. They are encouraged to think
Miles has won point in the Presi-
dents decision to drop the whole af-
fair with the report and continue Miles
at the head of the army. They declare
the President was forced to this con-
clusiOn by a fear of alternating a large
number of Republicans who Joined
Miles in his denunciation of the War
Department. They feel they have thor
oughly intimidated majority of the
Cabinet into the belief that it will
never do to make a martyr OF Miles.
They declare that Miles having exert
ed enough influence to prevent his re-
moval from the position of major gem
eral in command, even after such an
arraignment against him as the find
ings of the court, the same fear of his
popularity and the same influence in
the Cabinet can be used to drive Sec
retary Alger from the head of the War
Department. They insist that as the
two officials cannot work in harmony
one of them must retire for the good
of the service, and that the President.
fearing to remove Miles, will be forced
to intimate to Alger he should retire.
They claim that they have five mem
bers of the Cabinet who will urge upon
the President the necessity for har-
mony and a new Secretary of War who
can cooperate with the general in COM
mand, assuming that Miles is now un-
der no obligation to cooperate with
the present Secretary of War, and that

AN EXTRA
SESSION TO
Be CALLED
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May 10,-Tbe Wash
ington correspondent Of the Herald teI-
egraphs: l have the authority of a
member OF the Cabinet for the state
ment that the President before he left
Washington had practically made Nup
his mind to call Congress together in
extraordinary session about the 2Oth
of October. He has discussed the mat
ter with members Of the Cabinet and
some Of the leaders in Congress. In
his interviews with the latter he made
no declarations as to his intentions He
simply asked their views He has found
difference of opinion among legisla-
tors, but members of his Cabinet gener-
ally agree with him that it would be
advantageous to the country and the
Republican party to have Congress
called together a month or two earlier
than usual, in order that several big
questions to be brought before it NAV
be disposed of in time for adjournment
before the nominating conventions next
year.
The President wants the policy of the
Government in respect to the Philip
pines and other colonial possessions
thoroughly defined and the currency
question disposed of before the next
campaign. These are the governing
considerations, but there are minor
reasons for beginning its work on Oc-
tober 20, instead of December 4.
Congress will be able to organize and
make considerable progress with it's
work before the holiday recess. If de-
ferred until December the President
fears the session will be prolonged until
late in the summer with many of the
questions which the administration is
anxious to have out of the way still
pending while the nomination conven-
tions are in session. He expects to
have his policy in respect to the future
Of the Philippines fully outlined early
in October.
Long before that Admiral Dewey will
be here with a preliminary report from
the members of the Schurman Peace
Commission. 1t has already been ex-
clusively stated. in the Herald that the
commission favors a form of govern
ment for the Philippines modelled after
our own. In brief, its plan contem-
plates the appointment by the Presi-
dent of a Governor, with a Cabinet to
consist of leading Filipinos, judi
clary, also to be appointed by the Pres
ident, and a Legislature to be elected
by the inhabitants, who will have the
right of suffrage subject to- property
and educational qualifications. This is
the form of civil government which
will favor the basic principles of the
commissions recommendations and
which has already received the appro-
val Of the President.

sponse, thanking his correspondents
for their kindly offers and stating that
the admiral will have an opportunity
after his return of enjoying the hospi-
tality which it is proposed to extend to
him. So far as the proposition for the
Olympia to return to San Francisco is
concerned, the matter rests in Admiral
DeWey's hands, and he has signified
his intention Of coming home through
the Suez canal. The department will
not give him any instructions in the
matter, and it has no reason to believe
that he contemplates making a change
in the route he will follow on his way
home. Secretary Long has been in
formed that Admiral Dewey several
months ago, learning of the welcome
awaiting him, said he was afraid to
come home, and the department off,
cials add that from the invitations be-
ing extended to him he has good rea-
son for his fears.

" AIDS Washington correspondent
VI sends the following: AS an in
L I dicati0n of the confidence of the
administration on the approach
iuE close Of the rebellion in the Philip
pines, 1 learned to-day that orders have
been given to Admiral Dewey to send
the cruiser Boston to San Francisco
and to place the Isla de Cuba, Isla de
Luzon and Don Juan de Austria, when
completed, in reserve at Cavite. The
dispatch Of the Boston to San Fran
cisco is undoubtedly due TO the desire
Of the department TO give the people of
the Pacific Slope an opportunity to
greet one of the cruisers which fought
in the battle of Manila Bay. The Raj
aigh came home through the Suez ca
nal; the Olympia, with Admiral Dewey
on board, viii return by the same route,
and the authorities think it only fair
that the next homecoming cruiser
should be sent to San Francisco.
