Philippine Insurgents holding out

MANILA, May 23,-The conference
between the civilian members of the
United States Philippine commission
and the representatives of the Filipinos
continues.
The military and civil elements of
the !American commission differ re-
garding the wisdom of continuing the
conference, the former adhering to
the original demand tor the uncondi-
tional surrender of the insurgents.
President Schurman, of the Philip
pine commission, regarding the plan
of government offered to the Filipinos,
said today:
"Now that the American arms are
successfully bringing the war to close
it is an opportune moment to submit
the scheme of government which is
authorized by the president, that the
present scheme would satisfy the legit-
innate aspirations OF the Filipinos for
participation in their own government,
gives the insurgents good oppor-
tunity to lay down their arms. Under
1t they will possess more freedom than
under the Mbolos government, even
though the latter declares them an in
dependent and sovereign state."

Fruit Damaged.


I. w. Tonpes6n, an expert fruit man
OF Tacoma, says as follows regarding
the coming crop:
Continued told weather and late
frosts promise to seriously curtail the
fruit crop. While the trees have bios
somed freely the necessary warmth
to develop the fruit has been lacking,
and shortage is inevitable.
Cherries will not be iull crop.
The cold weather prevents any
progress.
Blackberries show the effect of the
winter. Many parentstems have been
frozen to the ground. aud the late frosts
have injured the bloom in some locali-
ties.
The prospect for the apple crop seems
to be fair, but unless 4 change to war.
mer weather comes soon it is feared
the apple crop will be short.
Farmers are not realizing sufficient
ly the Importance of spraying. With
the shortage of crops in California aud
eastern Washington, the fruits will
command good prices. Sure profits
will be realized from, through care d
orchards.

Good Year For Fish.

Cannerymen and fishermen are max
ing more complete arrangements for
the coming season on the Sound than
have ever been made. At present
but three traps are in the water, and
the number OF fish they are taking is
small. The spring run has not yet
commenced.
The weather has been too severe to
enable trap owners to drive traps.
The piling can be best driven in fair
weather, and at present the work Is
costly. The fishermen are occupying
their time preparing their web for the
water. So far as known but few seine
men or gill meters are at work.
The principal activity is about the
scanneries. All the owners OF canneries
are making improvements TO their
establishments, and it is expected if
the run of fish proves to he large the
output of canned salmon on the Sound
will come close to the big yield OF 1897
If it does not exceed that years total.
The Pacific American Fish Company
better known as the fish trust, has re-
Gently purchased the cannery of the
Franco-American Company at Fair
haven. The cannery was sold at a
receivers sale. The Williams cannery
at Blaine was obtained by the company
by lease and both institutions are be-
ing prepared for the seasons work.
Though there are no indications
which will justify prediction in regard
to the extent of the run of sa lmon this
year. cannerymen anticipate large
supply. The demand for canned sal
mon from the Sound factories is in
creasing and the output to find ready
sale. Prices will probably be kept up
we'll. On the Columbia river the price
of salmon is higher than usual for the
year and both cannerymen and fresl,
fish dealers who do the buyi ng there
expect the figures to remain stationary,

Railroad from the South.

There was an accidental congregat-
ing of railroad men in Tacoma Satur-
day from all parts of the Northwest,
and they left many rumors afioat
when they scattered again. The chief
topic of conversation was the alleged
secret steps being taken by the Union
Pacific to reach Tacoma. That the
road is quietly working on plan
which will. not only give it terminal
on Puget Sound, but fill its chief want,
coal supply, is indicated by evidence
which is more than speculation.
Among the visitors who talked on rail-
road matters yesterday were A. G.
Cooper, agent of the Rock Island /;
J. A. Clock, the Wisconsin Central
man IF. w. Parker, of the Northwestern
and G. E. of the O. r. & N.,most OF
them from Portland.
The report is that the Union Pacific
is backing road, first to be built by
private individuals, from a point on
Columbia river near Kalama to Ia
coma or Olympia. A branch will
come in from eastern Washington,
crossing the Cascades through the CHS
pus pass and reaching the main line
at point about half way between
Tacoma and Portland.
A company has already been incopor-
ated to build road from Kennewe OK
to Goble, just across the river from
Kalama.
A party of surveyors is in the field
near Mount st Helens working north
on the course which the contemplated
road would necessarily follow. They
are not spending much time in timber
cruising or examining the country
but seem to know their business thor
oughly. When last heard from they
were nearly to the COwlltz valley.
The rumor is that this road is to
reach the coal fields of the Nisqually
and Cowlitz. The Union Pacific and
other Southern roads feel the need OIL
coal more than anything else, and are
obliged to haul it now over the North
ern Pacific's tracks to Portland. It il
also limited that connections with the
Port Angeles Southern at Olympus
may be part of the plan. 1t IS vel
known that both the Union Pacific
and Port Angeles road are owned chief
ly by Boston capital. With a line
through the finest coal and timber
sectihn of the state, traversing the
immense and fertile Cowlitz valley,
and reaching Puget Sound at three
points, the combination would have
the most perfect railway system in
the World.-Ledger.

Dawson Nearly Wiped Out.

VICTORIA, May 2O.-(SpeciaD-The
main portion of the City of Dawon
was destroyed by fire on April TO-
causing loss of 100000. In all
one hundred and eleven buildings, in
Guiding the Bank of the British North
America, were burned.
The news was brought by l.. 3.
Hume, son of Major Hume, OF Seattle,
J. Toklas, and third party who left
Dawson on April q, and made their
way out by canoe to Lake Lebarge
and then over the ice, having a most
perilous trip.
Toklas reports the fipe occurred IN
the heart of the business center oi the
city, commencing near the opera
house on the water front and spread
ing with unusual rapidity, driven by
strong wind, and destroying every
thing in its way on that street down
to and including Donahue and Smiths
establishment and taking all of the
waterfront buildings abreast of the
same block.
The fire crossed the street and burn
ed through and spread over to Second
street, covering the principal business
portion of Dawson, leaving it all in
ashes with the fremen powerless.
The fire consumed everything from
Uimmin's Royal cafe down to opposite
the Fairview hotel.
The fire was the most disastrous
that ever visited Dawson.
Among the most prominent firms
burned out were the Royal cafe, Dona-
hue & Smith, Mcclellan & Merely,
Parsons Produce company, Aurora
saloon, Bodega, Madden house, Hotel
Wet oria, Mcdonald block, Bank Of
British North America, and scores of
smaller firms and business houses.
The town is paralyzed, because
nothing can be done until the opening
of navigation, which will not be for
several weeks.
