S. B. Donnelly, President OF the In
ternational Typographical Union,
was before the Industrial Commission
at Washington last Tuesday. The
witness estimated that there were
about 1000 Merganthaler typesetting
machines in use in the United States
and said they had displaced about
$4,000 workmen. The printers had
accepted machinery IN their work as
inevitable, but he considered them
detrimental to their business under
existing circumstances.

STRIKES SETTLED
Dock Hands and Grain Shovelers Re
turn to Work

Buffalo, N. Y, May 2S.-Today saw gem
eral breaking up of the dock strikes here.
The settlement of the grain shovelers'
trouble, as had been anticipated, was
quickly followed by the disintegration OF
ali the other strikes along the water front.
The strikes of the freight handlers, ma
rine firemen, coal beavers and ore handlers
were merely incident 70 the scoopers'
movement and broughG about largely be-
cause of sympathy for them. The an
nouncement this morning that the grain
shovelers had decided to return to work
tomorrow had an irresistible effect upon
the other labor movements, and all voted
at a meeting today to declare the strikes
of and return to work at once.
Todays developments mean that the Ia
Dor difficulties in this city have come to an
end that the obstacles in the path of COM
merce, which has suffered to an extent
beyond calculation during the past month,
have been finally removed. They also mark
the conclusion of one of the most remark
able labor movements in the history of the
country. From 900 to 1900 workingmen
have been taking part in the struggle from
first to last, and yet the whole history of
the strike does not contain the stain of
single riot a single authenticated at

the rights of others.

at Omaha

Omaha, Neb., May 23.-The tribute Of re-
spect and admiration that Omaha people
have been paying to Rear Admiral w. s..
Schley during the past few days reached
its elimination tonight at Boyd's opera
house when the admiral was the guest of
General Manderson and occupied box to
witness Richard Mansfields production Of

entered the theatre the immense audience
arose and cheered to the echo.
He responded to the greeting by bowling,
but that was not sufficient, as the audience

brief speech. At the close of the first
act the ovation began again and continued
for fully ten minutes. 1t eliminated when
Mayor Moore leaped upon the stage and
proposed three cheers for the hero of San
tiago. The response nearly raised the roof
and Schley had to make another speech.

WASHINGTON IS PERPLExED
AS to Best Method of Dealing With the
Rebels General Otis Sends Full
Summary of Situation in
the Philippines

Washington, May g. Secretary Hay has
received from President Schurman of the
Philippine commission a long message CIV
ing the results of the meetings thus far held
with the native Filipino commission sent by
Agunaldo to treat with the Americans.
The message was laid before the president
tonight. He was very much gratified at it's
contents, which were said to be very
couraging for the outlook that something
definite may be accomplished. President
Schurman reports that the native commits
sioners will take back to their people the
proposition for a form of government, etc.,
suggested by the American commission.
The text of this dispatch was not made
public and will not be.
1t was stated tonight on the authority of
a gentleman who spent some time with the
president that contrary to reports from Ma
Mia there are no differences of any con-
sequence between the military and civilian
members of the commission as to the course
to be adopted in dealing with the natives.

Queen wiIhelmina Present
Question of International Law

London, May 24.-The correspondent of
the Morning Post at The Hague says
"The question of interna tional law is
likely to be discussed by the conference.
An eminent professor says that interna-
tional jurisdiction has never been officially
recognized despite the resolutions of peace
congresses nor can an international agree
ment bind nations to enforce decress pro-
nounced according to such law
1.-THE code prepared for submission to the
conference provides that the autonomy of
nations is inviolable, that there is no right
of conquest as between them, that they
possess the right of law and equity as in
dividuals that no nation has a right to de-
clare war upon another and that disputes
between nations are to be settled by legal
methods.
1.-THE colonial section of the code deals
with the formation of colonies. 1t recog-
nizes the right to claim autonomy for In
dependence, though other nations may
intervene when in their opinion the ad-
mnistration is unsatisfactory or the
mother country does not heed the colonial
representations"

WHITE GAPS
Severely Flog Three Negroes at Griffin,
Ca, Last Night

Griffin, Ca, May 23.-Three colored en-
ployes of the Kincaid Manufacturing com
pany were severely hogged by whitecaps
last night, according to the story OF the
victims. 1t is not possible to verify the
story from other sources, but the men show
the marks of rough usage.
They say that about midnight a large
body of masked men came to their houses,
called them out, took them to the woods
and gave them 100 lashes with leather
buggy traces.
During the fogging the leader of the
whitecaps told the negroes that they had
been ordered to leave town and that they
had neglected to obey he order, hence the
whipping. The men say they never re-
ceived any such orders, but they skyill go
before the end of twenty-four hours, the
limit of grace named by the whitecappers.
Officers of the law are trying to run down
the story and arrest the whitecaps.

WASHINGTON INTERESTED
AS to Best Methods of Dealing With the
Insurgents

Washington, May 23.-The indication
clearly set out in the news dispatches from
Manila of division of opinion among the
United States commissioners as to the best
method Of dealing with the insurgents at
this critical stage has aroused deep inter-
est here. Nothing was received at the
state department today from President
Schurman of the commission, and in Gen.
eral Otis dispatch to secretary Alger or at
least all made public there is no reference
to any dissatisfaction on his part with the
attitude of the civilian members of the
commission. 1t is regarded as perhaps a
misfortune that this phase of the situation
was not reached before Admiral Dewey
leaving for home lost the committee the
benefit of his experience and sound judg-
ment 1t is realized here that much tact
Is required at this juncture, in order while
avoiding extreme measures with the Flip
mos not to fall into the much graver error
of losing the extensively bought fruits of
the victories of the American army and
navy The war department is inclined to
support General Otis, not only because of
his connection with the war, but also on
the ground Of his longer experience with
the insurgents better fits him to under
stand the native character. However, the
president is giving the matter his close per-
sonal attention, assisted not only by Sec
retary Hay, who is directly responsible for
the instructions given to the committee,
but by all of the members of the cabinet,
and proper outcome of the little differ
ences may be expected.
An Interesting Summary
General Otis report, received by mail,
and read by the president at the cabinet
meeting today, is pronounced by those who
heard 1t a most interesting summary of
the situation in the Philippines. In the
main 1t presents the subject from the mill
tary standpoint. But probably the most
important contribution is that covering the
correspondence between General Otis and
Aguinaldo, just preceding the outbreak,
showing conclusively that the American
commander used every effort to avoid a
conflict The communications from
Aguinaldo bear his signature and give lit
tie evidence of a conciliatory spirit or a
disposition to accept American rule. The
members of the cabinet believe that they
furnish O conclusive showing of the recti-
tude of our course In dealing with the up
rising. 1t was felt to be such q strong
presentation of the conditions leading up to
the insurrection now existing that 1t was
determined to make 1t public at once. Time
was required, however, to make "a sum-
mary and prepare copies, and these will be
given out tomorrow. The report covers
about fifteen typewriter pages and brings
the subject UP to about six weeks ago.

PERSONALLY PLEASED
But Filipinos Refuse to Officially En-
dorse the Plan

Manila, May 23.-6:15 p. m.-The Filipino
commissioners spent the day at the resi-
denee of the American commissioners.
They discussed every point of the scheme
of government and the peace proclamation
details and asked for information as to
what personal rights would be guaranteed
them
Colonel Charles DENLY OF the American
commission explained that they would pe
the same as under the United States con-
stitution.
The Fihpinos also desired information as
to the school system to be established and
separation of church and state. They
chiefly objected to the scheme on the
ground that it gave them personal liberty,
which they know they would have, but did
not give them political liberty.
Finally the Filipinos said they were per-
sonally pleased with the plan, bat could
not indorse it officially.
Called on Otis
During the day the Filipino commission
ers called upon Major General Otis, and
they will repeat their call tomorrow.
There is much comment here on the out
ing the Filipinos are enjoying. They are
arrayed in blue coats, scarlet trousers and
gold lace, and drive about the city reveling
in the attentions bestowed upon them
which is evidently exceedingly gratifying
to them. They are the centers of contia-
ual leyees at Filipino houses, where they
have been entertained, and have had every
opportunity to advance the interest Of in
surrection.
Military sentiment disapproves of the Fill
ipinos being lionized by their civilian ele-
ment.
General Otis, from ante-bellum expert
ence, and owing to the Filipino's fondness
OF discussion, has maintained the attitude
he assumed with the first commission. He
has had no offer to make the Filipinos save
that they lay down their arms without
terms. The army believes that if we in
tend to remain In the Philippine islands it
will be cheaper in the long run to whip the
insurgents so thoroughly that they will
be glad of the opportunity to surrender
rather than to parley with them and make
terms which they will construe as a COM
promise
The army is also of the opinion that
while the first course may cost more men
and money in the beginning than the lat
further insurrection, whereas, If the war
is ended by compromise the professional
revolutionists among the Tagals may be
encouraged to try again in q few years.
Believes in Cancellation
Professor Schurman, talking of the COM
missions policy, said: Il believe force was
necessary because they thought us weak
lngs and towards, but believe also that
conciliation should accompany force. My
endeayor has been ever since 1 came here
to exercise conciliation."
The professor is most optimistic as to the
results of the negotiations, and believes
the scheme of government proposed by the
United States commission will ultimately
be adopted.
Rosario. a Filipino congressman,
wealthy resident of Manila, and formerly
Aguinaldo's commissary-general, accom-
panied by an insurgent captain, called up
on Major General Otis today and announc-
ed that we desire to surrender our person

FIRST BULLETIN
Of Information Issued by Bureau of Ma
val Intelligence

Washington, May 2S.-The first of the
general information series of bulletins Is
sued this year by the bureau of naval in
telligence is translation Of carefully pre-
pared papers by Constructor Sussenguth,
of the German navy.
1t compares comparative sketch of TIM
navies of the world, and calls attention t.
the fact that all nations are profiting bs
the lessons of Santiago where the heavs
battleships brought about the destruction
of the Spanish fleet and are building battle
ships of 1900 and $4,000 tons displace-
ment.
Another lesson that the German con-
structor draws from the American-Spanish
war is the worthlessness of the protected
ship in battle. One of the most remarka-
BILE statements of the writer is the frank
confession that England on the completion
of the ships now under construction for her
navy will be in position to meet the COM
bined navies of any two powers of the
world.
