Final Decision of the Commission
From President Mckinley Military
Operations not Changed.

Manila, May 23.-3:l5 p. m.-Profes.or
Schurman, head of the United States
Philippine commission, submitted the fol-
lowing written propositions to the Fill
pinos:
"While the final decision as to the form
of government is in the hands OF con-
gress, the president, ruder his military
powers pending action of congress, stands
ready to offer the following form OF gov
ernment:
''The governor general to be appointed
by the president; the cabinet to be ap-
pointed by the governor general, all the
judges to be appointed by the president;
the heads of departments and judges to
be either Americans or Filipnos or both,
and also the general advisory council, its
members to be chosen by the people by a
form of suffrage to be hereafter carefully
determined upon. The president earnest
ly desires that bloodshed cease and the
people of the Philippines at an early date
enjoy the largest measure of self-govern-
ment compatible with peace and order"
The commission prepared the scheme
and the president cabled his approval
The Filipinos made no definite PROPOSE
ton except for cessation of hostilities un-
til they can present the question OF peace
to the people.
Professor Schurman told the Filipnos
that they had no means Of gathering the
people together as the Americans control
most of the ports. He also reminded them

Washington, May 2l.-It is believed
that whatever difficulty has ever existed
as to the disposition of the weapons held
by the Cuban soldiers is relieved by the
action taken by Secretary Alger yester-
day. He has instructed General Brooke
to begin at once the payment of the 49,
100000 set aside for the Cuban soldiers,
being entirely satisfied with the provision
made by General Brooke for the safe keep
ing of the arms to be surrendered by the
Cubans in consideration of receiving
share of the money. There has been less
correspondence on this subject Of late be-
tween Secretary Alger and General Brooke
than has been supposed.

Hard to Get Out.

An English woman who has been
travelling in Russia seems to have found
it easier to get in than to get out OF
the cars country. She sent her pass
port to the authorities before starting
in order to have it vised and then
blithely made for the frontier.
Arriving there, she was Immediately
detained and taken before the powers
that not only be. but also do, at the
Russian frontier. Here she was in
formed that her passport did not per
nit her to leave the country and that
she would be obliged to make herself
comfortable while the police found out
all she had done while in the country
At first she was rather pleased al
the thought of how she would tell hel
friends about it when she got home
But when she found that she had t
pay not only for her room, her meals
service and all that sort of thing, bu
also for long kilograms which the au
thorities were exchanging in regard t.
her case, her pleasure dwindled as rap
idly as her funds did.
She finally got off, however, bu
without receiving any apology or an
reimbursement.-Ne York Sun.
