COMMISSION HAVE A PLAN.
Commission Has Formulated a Con-
stitution.
HOME CONTROL FINALLY,

/ Washington, Nov. Gas soon as
the Tagalo instruction is sup
pressed" said President Schurman,
"the United States should immediate
ly establish government, to be ad-
ministered at first under the direction
of the war department, but by success
sive stages to finally be placed in the
hands of the Filipinos. My idea is
that there should be progressive self
government, gradual development of
home government as the Filipino be-
comes more experienced in political af-
fairs and sufficiently educated to under
stand the questions with which he has
to deal. What the character of this
government should be is matter which
has not been touched upon by the COM
mission in its preliminary statement.
1 will not say that it has not been con-
sidered, for it has. 1t is proposed to
deal carefully in this matter in the re-
port. l should think that at first there
should be governor general appointed,
who should be assisted in administer
ing the affairs of the island by a cab
met composed of representative men of
several tribes. This would eventually
develop into the legislature of the arch
ipelago. The provinces should be ad-
ministered by Americans or by educa-
ted Filipinos under American guidance
and the cities and towns by mayors
elected by the people possessing certain
educational or property qualifications,
or both, as may be determined. 1t
seems to me that the constitution pre-
pared for the island of Negroes by the
commission is an excellent instrument
to consider in connection with the gov
eminent to be given to the island of
IuZOn"

Demonstrations En- Route.

Topeka, Nov. 4.-Henry Allen, pri-
vate secretary to Governor Stanley,
returned from Frisco with General
Funston on the first train. He said
that the demonstrations given the gen
eral at all towns along the route were
remarkable. 1.-The boys all like Fun
ston," said he, land many of them
want to return to the Philippines with
him. Captain Shideler says that Fun
ston was the best general in the islands.
Many of the commissioned officers are
dead anxious to go back. So are many
of the privatcs, providing they can be
assigned to Funston's brigade. The
boys all behaved well on the way home.
The eating house trouble was greatly
exaggerated. Three or four boys
kicked but that was all.

Wichita, Nov. 3.-William Speer died
Mt his residence in this city yesterday
noon. He was probably one of the best
known railroadmen in the west. He
has been connected with the Missouri
Pacific for the past twenty or more
years. He has held nearly every posi-
ton in the transportation department.
The greater part of the time he has
been a passenger conductor. About
six years ago he was acting superinten-
dent of the Missouri Pacific for some
time. Of late he has been running out
of this city as conductor.
. He is son of John Speer, the veter-

Investigating Usage Pasture Money.

Washington, Nov. Especial Agent
Zevely, of the interior department, has
been sent to the Usage nation, Okla
homa, to investigate the charges against
Agent Pollock, and is expected to
reach there within the next few days.
b. G. Pray, of the Indian Office has
also been sent there, and is now en-
gagged in making surveys Of the pas
lures which have been fenced in this
spring, amounting, it is said, to LOG
square miles. The object is to deter
mine the number of square miles which
are legally or illegally grazed by cattle
men. Among the charges on file here
is one that 1873, 900 cattle are grazing in
the Usage reservation in excess of the
lcgitimately accounted anc
paid for, representing a loss to tn.
Osages, according to the representa-
lions made by those DESTROYS of secur
ing the removal of Agent Pollock, o.
not less than 100000. The penalty
for illegal grazing of cattle on lndiaI

Topeka, Nov At is impossible to
determine how many people came in on
the special and regular trains on the
five systems of railroads which reached
Topeka early. All the trains were
loaded. All the forenoon the streets
leading from the four depots were
thronged with the incoming masses,
and by noon Topeka was entertaining
such a crowd as she never saw before.
Estimates and dispatches sent out from
here vary as to the number of people
who came to the reception Some az
low as 10000, the highest 10000.

Admiral Dewey Talks.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Admiral Dewey
says: II wish you would say for me
that the report of the commission is an
absolutely truthful representation OF
all that has happened and of the exist
ing situation. There has never been a
moment since the first gun was fired
that the United States could have with
drawn from the islands and the reasons
set forth in the report as to why per-
manent American control is essential
are, in my opinion, immovable. There
is no other alternative. That the Tag
alos are realizing it, is shown by the
rapid disintegration from Aguinaldo's
ranks. The later advices show very
decided improvement in the situation.
l look for an early termination OF the
war. In fact, 1 firmly believe that the
bottom has dropped out of the insur'
rection."

Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-The Nortl
American says One of the greatest fl
nancial combinations of the century Il
in process of formation. The organizer
of the Continental Telegraph, Tele
phone and Cable Company, recently in
corporated in New Jersey, have obtain
ed control of all the independent tele
phone companies in the United States
and aim to combine these with the
great telegraph companies and the five
Atlantic cable companies
From various sources information
reached the North American that the
capitalists interested in the venture in
clude George j. Gould, John Jacob As
tor, William c. Whitney, p. A. b. Wild
ener and William L. Elkins.
Notification of the story was obtain
ed from Mr.. Widener, at his home II
Ogontz. He talked freely of the colos
sal scheme which, he says, will bring
about sweeping reduction in the cost
of transmission of electrical messages
all over the country. Among Other
things, he said:
"The plan has been under considers
ton for some time. Mr.. Martin Ma
loney, who was the active agent in the
enterprise, and may be said to have en-
ginecred it, has been in New York fol
about year."

Not Worth Bothering with.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The islands in
the Philippine group referred to in the
Madrid dispatch as not having been in
cluded in the treaty ceding the archi-
pelago to the United States are not re-
garded by the members of the Philip
pine commission as of any Importance
and no regret, they say, need be felt
if the statement should prove correct
The opinion was expressed by one of
the commissioners last night that the
islands referred to are not worth nego-
tiating for, as they would not be OF any
material benefit. They are not thickly
populated and their commerce is small
as the islands are out of the way OF
the regular ocean travel.

closed by freshet. 1t is not hoped
that General White can be heard from,
favorably as to his situation, before
General Buffers troops are able to
succor him and this can not occur for
more than two weeks.

1 HAPPY HOME COMING.
The Vast Crowd Infected by the
Sentiment Shown by Greetings.
WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT,

Topeka, Nov. 4.--The state of Kan
Ems was laid at the feet of the Eight
srsg Twentieth"
Speaking for the men of his old regi-
ment, General Frederick Funston said:
This demonstration was worth
travelling 10, 900 miles to see."
There may have been jealousies in
t<.c past on the part of other citizens.
Nso, those feelings have all disappeared
and all unite in praising the earnest
neal OF the capital city.
The scenes witnessed here will not

generation who witnessed them.
No sooner was the parade over than
atse father and mother of Lieutenant
Colonel Little found him, and no one,
friends, sweetheart or enemy, could
separate the three. TO greet one was
To greet parents and son, and with Ed
Little the parents come first.
One of the remarkable things about
the reception was that the $4,000
visitors were handled without single
accident. Up to midnight the police
ambulance had not been called out
once.
The state officers held receptions in
tkcir rooms and until late hour the
several Offices were full of visitors.
Governor Stanley received in the CEN
Aral office, where continual stream of
pcople gave him friendly greeting.
Enthusiastically, Lieutenant Colonel
fittle was caught near his old desk,
Iand stopping u moment to speak to
FORMER college mate, was taken poses
zion of and compelled to hold levee,
SO many being anxious to grasp his
hands.
{, When the first section of Pullman
cars arrived at the station at l o'clock
in the afternoon the crowd was so dense
that it was considered inadvisable to
unload the soldiers until the police had
cleared u passage from the train to the
depot where the dinner was waiting.
In this situation the newspaper men

pared by the ex-citizens of Kansas now
living in Kansas, was presented to Gen
