A PHILIPPINE COMMISSION.
President wan send Experts to Report or
the situation.

the sfuttton.
Denver. Jan. 16.-A special dispatch
to the Denver Republican from Wash
ington SAYS:
President Mckinley has decided to
send commission to the Philippines
to make a thorough study of the situ-
alton and advise him as to what the
policy Of the United States should be
regarding these islands.
He has asked the following gentle
men to serve on the commission:
Rear Admiral George Dewey, com
mander of the Asiatic squadron.
Major General f.. :. Otis. military
governor OF the Philippines.
Prof. ]. c. Schurman. president of
Cornell University.
Colonel Charles DENLY. former min
lister to China, and now n member of
the war investigation commission.
Brigndier General Charles B. Whit
tier of New York, recently on duty ut
Manila.
Admiral Dewey will be president of
the commission. Ii is now only a ques-
tion as TO whether or not the gentle
men mentioned will consent to serve
and as to the date when the commits
sion will start for the Philippines.
The fact that President Schurman
has been summoned TO Washington TO
confer with the President indicates
that President Mckinley contcmplates
appointing the commission Immediate
ly. though there is probability that he
may wait for the ratification of the
peace treaty.
Tht President desires not only Prof.
SchurInan's views regarding the future
attitude of this country toward the
Philippines, bur advice as to the phases
OF the question that ought to be con
sidered by commission.
Should he consent to serve there will
be little difficulty in making up the rest
Of the personnel of the commission. as
all of the other men mentioned are
thoroughly familiar and interested in
the subject and will doubtless be glad
to accept
President Mckinley is not averse to
the Filipinos having Independence If it
can be proved that they are capable of
maintaining II. He is not ayerse to ac-
cepting all responsibility of maintain
ing sovereignty and control of the Phil
ippines permanently. But he wants to
be sure Of his ground before taking
any definite stand.
1t is believed that the determination
to appoint q commission VIII have n
good effect on the situation in the Sen
ate.
Those Senators who have been dis
posed to oppose the treaty on the
ground the President had been given
no advice as to the future control and
disposition of the islands will see that
he has determined to obtain all the
facts through the medium of nom
partisan commission. composed OF com
petent men, before making any recon-
mendntions.

Bold Plot !. Detected.

Lacrosse, Wis. Jan. IA bold at
tempt to steal twentyone carloads Of
wheat was defeated by clever detec-
tive work and prompt and decisive ac-
ton on the part OF railroad officials.
The grain was mostly the property
Of s. Y. Hyde Elevator Company and
the w. w. Cargill Company of this
city. and the cars were diverted from
their original consignees by the sub
stitution of bogus way bills. 1t ap-
pears just about time the deal was
nearing consummation the swindlers
weakened. Had the perpetrators been
successful in carrying out their clever
scheme. II would have made them $15.-
900 richer. The men at work on the
ease expect soon to have the entire
gang of fraudulent way-bill workers
under arrest.

United state. Finance. Europe.

London, Ian. 14-At the scmi-annual
meeting of the Union Bank of Lon
don to-day Mr.. Schuester, the govern
or. in the course of his report, said the
United States had become n most i'm
portant factor, which must not be
overlooked in forecasting the future.
He added that the remarkable activity
of trade in the United States after Il
successful war and prospective new
markets. together with abundant har-
vests, had created an unprecedented
trade balance on favor of that coun-
try, which had already made itself
felt on this side, and for the first time
he believed 1t might be said that 1t
was not Europe that had financed the
United States. but New York that had
financed Europe. During the last few
months the United States had lent n
considerable amount of cash, and its
discounts in London and Berlin and
Its power to obtain gold hence for very
large amounts whenever II chose
must not be lost sight Of.

was sent away to school and returned
a matured, cultivated woman OF beau
ty and grace. or Hume nothing had
been heard since the night of hts
flight, but Mabel's heart remained true
and trusting. and many were the dis
appointed suitors who claimed her
hand. only to be kindly and courteous
iy rejected.
After many years of travelling In
one guise or another through most OF
the civilized world, Hume, with
heavy heart and conscience that
would not down, determined to come
back and surrender himself If only to
obtain a glimpse of his cherished
youthful idol. He was debating this
weighty question in Mexico when the
war with Spain was declared, and with
the first call for volunteers his way
ering resolution was formed. and he
hastened back to enlist and fight for
the honor of the nation.
To himself he said: Here Is the
chance for honorable expiation. No
one will remember me now. Besides,
| am so changed l can go to the ter
ritory and enlist there. and maybe
hear something about Mabel"

walking down the street one day, came
face to face with the woman he loved.
She had changed greatly. and he was
heavily bearded. but recognition WAS
mutual. Unfortunately she was not
alone and feared to imperil him by
public recognition; so with mute
greetings they went their separate
ways. The next morning his troop
left for the front. and without a word
being interchanged they were parted
again He went through the Cuban
campaign. fought desperately and was
severely wounded and carried in de-
lirious condition to the hospital. where
his life for a time was despaired of.
At last he regained consciousness to
find his left arm gone ard pair OF
soft, velvety hands working over the
bandages covering a multitude of heal
ing wounds and bruises and tender
voice cautioning him against excite
ment. The shock. however, was too
much for him and he tainted The
voice and hands belonged to his long
lost and much desired sweetheart, Ma
bel White.
Immediately after meeting him in
Muskogee she had taken the train to
Tampa and offered herself as volun-
teer Red Cross nurse. She had fol-
lowed him almost to the field of battle
and when he was wounded and toss
ing in delirium had begged the privil-
ege of assisting in caring for him. His
recovery from that moment was rap
Id. and this enabled him to ride again
with the Rough Riders. When these
desperate fighters were mustered out
of the service he went back home, was
quietly married to the girl of his heart
and prepared to face the impending
trial for manslauGhter.
While he will have to stand trial for
the duel OF fifteen years ago, the wit
nesses are now dead and as the story
of his and Mabel's heroism Is SO well
known the general feeling is strongly
in his favor. and 1t is not difficult to
predict that mild verdict will be
given.

A Sad Return Home,

Last week man in a smutty blue
uniform, and seemingly in very i'll
health, arrived at Dillsboro. Ind, on
a train from the east. Unlike most
returning heroes, he did not stop 10
discuss with the group, which is usu-
ally found at railroad station, but
made his way directly to the Milton
omnibus. When on the road to Mi
ton. he asked the only other passen-
ger OF the bus for information con-
ccrning family by the name of Mr..
and Mrs. Bradley, stating that he
was a son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Brad
ley. He was informed that both
were dead. Young Bradley was
looking forward to welcome by
his parents. and was almost pros
trated at the news of their death. He
was a member of the Fifth regulars in
the battle Of San Juan hill, and was
wounded by a treacherous Cuban. for
which offense the Cuban was put TO
death. He had been away for twelve
years.
