y, says:
"Your correspondent is able to say
on authority that the %Schurmnn
peace commission offered every pos
sible Involvement short of absolute
self-government to Aguinaldo and his
followers. Aguinaldo was promised,
as the price for the restoration Of
peace in the Tagalos tribe, a bonus of
more than $4,000 a year while the Tag
alos remained peaceful. He was told
that he could choose men from his
tribe for the minor municipal Offices.
"The commission went SO far as to
promise Aguinaldo the moral support
Of the United States government, IL
such were needed to make his leader
ship of the Tagalos thoroughly se-
cure. With all these Inducements,
tempting as they must have been,
Aguinaldo as the recognized head CT
the insurgent movement, declined to
yield. He insisted upon immediate
self-government, and as his insistencc
was SO firm as to make an agreement
impossible the American commission
ers ceased negotiations.
president Schurman was frank in
saying u day or so ago that he favored
giving to the various tribes the larg-
est possible measure Of home rule
at the earliest moment. He thought
the several tribes could administer
their local affairs, elect their munich
pal officers, establish courts and penal
institutions, a judiciary, etc, but he
did not believe it possible to allow the
natives to participate in the general
government.
GLOW could they govern the is
lands in view of the hetcrogeneity and
multiplicity of the tribes he asked?"

ORDERS MILITIA TO SCENE.

Governor Tanner Declares 1t Pre-
meditated Murder.
Springfield, H., Sept. 19.-Goyernor
Tanner has ordered two companies of
the Fourth regiment, under command
Of Colonel Bennett to Ca%rteryille. u
received a telegram yesterday after
noon at 2 O'Clock from Samuel Brush,
manager of the ST. Louis and Big
Muddy Coal company at Carterville,
that several of a crowd of his negro
miners who had gathered at a depot
preparatory to leaving had been killed,
a mob having fired upon them, and
that the sheriff would be unable to
control the situation and was 1--WE
less to arrest the parties. He asked
the governor to order troops to Carter
vile and said that he had ordered his
men to stay on his ground.
The governor states:
In response to this message, know
ing something of the condition of that
place, and without waiting to hear
from the sheriff or others in authority,
| Immediately ordered Lieutenant
Lowden, of Company c, of Carbondale,
to proceed at once to C%arterville, pro-
curing a special train if necessary, and
when reaching Carterville to suppress
the riot, protect life and property and
report to the sheriff of Williamson
county for orders, in TIE event that
the sheriff was on the ground.
II also ordered Captain Hersh, of
Company D. of Newton, to proceed
with his company by the quickest
route to Carterville and to report to
Colonel Bennett for riot duty. At the
same time l ordered Colonel Bennett,
of the Fourth regiment, who lives at
G~reenville, to proceed|to Carterville at
once and take charge of the troops. /
also directed the commanding officer
of Company F, of Mount Vernon, to
prepare and be in readiness to move
on short notice.
AT 4 o'clock two hours from the
time | received the message mentioned
from Captain Blush, I received a mes
sage from Lieutenant Lowden, of Com
pany c, of C~arbondale, stating that he
would leave on a special train for Car

from Captain Brush stating that later
reports showed that seven of his men
We're killed and two injured and that
a large armed mob of men was be-

that one company was not sufficient.

JOHN c. HUBINGER
Remarkable Career of a'wen-Known
Western Capitalist, Manufact-
urer and Philanthropist.
&z2zE9llnD

Among the leaders Of the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr.. John c. Hubinger, Of Keo-
kuk, Ia, reigns without a peer. AS
Q manufacturer as an enterprising cap
italist and as a philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but AZ years Of
age, can look back upon scores OF COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind. for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
lesnss La, his parents being Of French
md German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received q public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on q number Of vail
liable mechanical Inventions, thereby
flaying-the foundation of his present
fortune.
BY inclination and force Of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by inn
proved processes, and in the course Of
time he became the head Of a concern
having an annual business Of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
ditions, works ever toward perfection,
and after years Of painstaking study
and research Mr.. Hubinger has made

Knfirs Believe Krueger Will Win
New York Tribune: 1t is customary
among Kuffir tribes, when trouble is
brewing among themselves or with
white races, to skin oxen alive in order
to ascertain which side will win. A
white OK always represents the Dutch.
a red OK the English, and a black one
the natives. The Basutos in the Free
State, having heard of the trouble be-
tween the English government and the
Transvaal, put their old custom to the
test a short time ago. They reported
that the white OK lived four days long,
er than the other one; both oxen were
skinned alive. The result is that the
Basutos think if war comes aboutsthat
the Beers will win, and they have de-
cided to take no part in any trouble
that may ensue.
