REPORT ON PHILIPPINES.
The Commission Makes a Partial Repol
on Conditions.

The Commission Makes a Partial Report
on Conditions.
Washington, Nov. 3.-The Philippine
commission has submitted to the presi-
dent a preliminary report Of their work
in the islands and recommendations
drawn from their experience with the
natives. In the report Admiral Dewey
explains his relations with Aguinaldo.
He says-in brief-that Consul Pratt
at Singapore, wired him at Hongkong
that Aguinaldo would arrange with
him for the cooperation of the insur-
gents against the Spanish; that he ms
wered to have Aguinaldo come to
Hongkong at once. He did not arrive
there, however, until Dewey had sailed
for Manila. 1t has been reported to
the admiral that there were 8, 900 in
surgents in the neighborhood of Ma
Mia, but when he reached there he
found that there was no instruction
there to speak of. 1t was then decided
to allow Aguinaldo to come to Manila
on board the Mccullough. He arrived
with thirteen of his staff and immedi-
ately called upon the Commander in
chief" after which he was allowed to
land Oh the island and organize his
army. This was done on the under
standing that it was to strengthen the
United States and harrass the enemy.
No arrangements of any kind was en-
tered into with Aguinaldo, and no
promise of independence was made to
him then or later.
The report then recites various moves
and declares that independence was an
a~fterthought on the part of Aguinaldo.
Deplorable as the wal is, says the re-
port, it was entirely unavoidable by the
United States. We were attacked, and
no alternative was left. Our obligation
to ourselves, to Europeans and to peace
ful Filipinos demanded that we should
meet force with force. Whatever may
be the future of the islands there is no
course open to the United States now
except a prosecution Of the war to sue.
cess. There has been no time since the
destruction of the Spanish fleet when it
was possible to Withdraw the United
States forces with honor to ourselves.
Taking up the condition of the coun-
try, the commission says that it is very
much improved from what it was when
the members first went there. The re-
bellion is not national in scope. but is
confined to n race and one island.
The report says that at present the ma.
tives are not capable of self-government
and that should by any fatality u
power be withdrawn, anarchy would
ensue.

THAT DEMOCRATIC MESS.

The fur will fly in Helena this week,
the Clark and Daily factions of the de-
mocracy having locked horns in the su-
preme court in the trial of the Welcome
disbarment case. Welcome. "a Butte
attorney and n of Clark's chief sup
porters in the senatorial fight, is
charged by Fred Whiteside with having
bribed members to vote for the million
aire. The court held yesterday that
Welcome is entitled to a bill of parti-
cnlars, setting forth names, times,
places aud amounts of money paid,
with proofs, which will be offered un-
der the entire charge. That's what the
public wants-names and the amounts
of money paid. The people want to see
these bribery charges thoroughly inves-
tigated. The democrats have disgraced
the state of Montana and it is the duty
of the supreme court to expose and pun.
ish the guilty parties.
That is what the people are waiting
for; they will do the rest when they go
to the polls next year and rescue the
commonwealth from democratic debau-
cherry and corruption. They believe
that one faction of the democracy is
about as guilty as the other, and will
play no favorites in administering pun.
ishment; they'll just wipe democracy
off the face of the map in Montana.
May Welcome be disbarred, Whitesida
sent to the penitentiary and the hackers
of each exposed and held up to the scorn
and contempt of every honest man in
the state.

with honor to ourselves Or with safety
to the inhabitants

with honor to ourselves or with safety
to the inhabitants"
The closing portion of the report
deals with the capicity Of the natives
for self-government. The commission
is agreed that an experiment in that
direction would be a failure, and sub
mits that: "Should our power by any
fatality be withdrawn, the commission
believes the government Of the Philip
pines would speedily lapse into an
archy, which would excuse, if it did
not necessitate, the intervention Of
other powers and the eventual division
OF the islands among them"
The report concludes: "Our control
means to the inhabitants of the Philip
pines internal peace and order. a guar
antee against foreign aggression and
against the dismemberment Of their
country, commercial and industrial
prosperity and as large a share Of the
affairs of government as they are will
ing to take. We canDot, from any
point of view, escape the responsible
ties of government which our SOW.
ereignty entails and the commission is
strongly persuaded that the performance
of our national duty will prove the
greatest benefit to the people of the
Philippine islands,"
