CoAfMENDs THE COMMISSION.

i-ASIsad se Observation-Disclosures
by President Mckinley OF the commits
SION to investigate conditions in the
philippines, General Whittier replied:
Il think 1t is n most excellent thing.
In a letter to the Secretary of State,
written last September. 1 recommend
ed that such a commission be sent there
TO study and report upon the conditions
political. social and material-of all
the Islands, and later in my testimony
before the Peace Commission in Paris.
l made similar recomm endation.
Il then suggested that a Bureau of
Science, with the ablest chief and staff
TO be obtained, should at once be es-
tablished to comprehend the depart
ments OF geology, zoology, botany and
ethnology, and also a land and forestry
commission. or a department of land
surveys and works. The present COM
mission seems to fulfil all these require
ments.
1T might readily assimilate to the
British colonial system, and it will be
easy for it to determine which OF their
many forms may be adVantageously
used. The British Colonial Empire has
forty distinct and independent govern
ments. OF these eleven have elective
assemblies and responsible govern
ments. The remaining Twenty-Five are
divided into many classes.
NATIVE LEADER A COMMITS
SIONER.
"In any form OF government under q
protectorate it would be of advantage
probably TO make one OF the native
leaders a commissioner of native af-
fairs. In this or any event the Govern
or General alone. or with the commits
sion. should have absolute power.
There is the greatest necessity,
think. for a man of affairs and expe-
rience in business methods, combined
with military ability, to be Governor
General, and the man admirably fitted
in all respects for this Office is Major
General Francis V. Greene"
Speaking of the existing condition OF
affairs at Iloilo. General Whittier said
THE whole matter is greatly exagge.
rated and ! think. could have been
easily averted. l have seen the state
ment that the strength of the native
army is 100000 men. I greatly doubt
II they have 5000. as in the early part
of October merchants in Manila hav-
ing business connections with Iloilo
said to me that the natives were like
ly to occupy that place at any day
that the Spanish had less than 300 men
there, and were prepared to evacuate
ANY movement after the treaty
could have been averted. / think, by
an arrangement with Aguinaldo. as ]
have already suggested"

disSolution-sOm of them within meas
urahle distance of both. Yet the greatest
effects have not been in Europe; 1895 has
seen the United States forced. not by any
greed of power. but 10y its humanitarian
ideals, to take its part in European rcla-
tons. \ brief but glorious armed conflict
with Spain has been begun. prosecuted to
its end and settled by treaty of peace
upon which the ink is scarcely dry. The
inception Of great political changes has
been witnessed in China; two European
rulers have come to their death; several
men and women prominent in StatcCraft.
military affairs, reform. literature and
music, have passed away: the year has
been marked 10y some terrible marine dis
asters, causing great loss Of life; and fire.
flood and storm have numbered their vie

of property.
The war between the United States and

a story concerning our troops in Manila
is told by an English naval officer, who
was an eyewitness to the occurrence.
The city was quite crowded" he says,
with both American and Span'.'h sol
dierS. and they seemed to be on the
friendliest terms. AS | was crossing one
of the numerous bridges across the Pasig
River, saw native Filipino spit in the
face of II Spanish officer and then run to
the American sentinel. who was guarding
the bridge, demanding his protection. II
was some time before the Filipino could
make himself understood, and the sentry
took sometime to catch on to what had
been done, but you can imagine my sur
prise when he handed his gun to the Span
ish officer and caught the native by the
nape Of the neck and the seat of his
trousers and pitched him off the bridge
into the Pasig River. Then he calmly
took his gun from the Spanish officer and
began pacing the beat as if nothing had
happened. The American soldier may not
he so military as his brother of Europe,
but he is made of the right stuff"
-
A rather pretty incident is told by hos
pital doctor who has some sick soldier
boys in charge. There happened to be
two men of the same name in the same
hospital-that is. their last names and
their initials are alike The other day the
sister of one came to see him, but by mis-
take was shown into the room of the 9TH
er, man whom she had never before
seen, and, of course, she was slightly en-
barrassed and departed as rapidly as pos
sble. But not before she had made de-
cided impression on the heart of the sol.
der boy. Being almost well. he cultivated
the acquaintance of his double, was in
time duly introduced to the woman her
self, and now-well. the neighbors do say
that things are getting decidedly inter-
esting, and neighbors can generally be
counted on TO know all that is to be known
on such subjects. But if things do come
to the desired ending, won't there he an
awful state of mix in that family when
there come to be two men of the same
name in it?
