THE CHURCH Is BARRED.
Spain's Old-Time Auxiliary In Governing
tho Philippines Has No Standing with
New United States Commission.

Manila, June 12.-Judge William III.
Taft and his colleagues of the Phil
ippine civil commission were beset
during their first week in Manila by
multitude of callers of all nation
alities, professions and interests, who
presented a bewildering assortment
of recommendations touching mill
tary and civil policies. The commits
sioners admit that, while they antici-
pated an enormous task, the complex
ity and difficulty of the problems and
conditions are well nigh staggering.
One of the foremost questions is how
and from what material to organize
a. civil force with which gradually to
supercede the army as a governing
machine. SPANS auxiliary, the
church, is barred from consideration.
American experience with the natives
discourages the hope of honest gov
eminent through them until a gener-
alton or more have eradicated the re-
suits of SPANS tutelage.

NEW POINT OF LAW.
Kansas City Court of Appeals Decides an
Insurance Case Against the Wood
mon of the World.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 1.-THE
Kansas City court of appeals decided
case of particular interest Monday
as to life insurance policies. Mrs.
Inez Huff sued Sovereign camp, Wood
men of the World, for a policy of 3d.
900 held by her husband, who COM
mitted suicide. She was given judg-
ment for the full amount in the Yer
non county circuit court. The order
appealed, but the court of appeals af.
firmed the finding of the lower court.
In it's opinion the appellate court
says that the camp has no right to re-
fuse payment on the plea of suicide,
as it is Nebraska corporation. Had
it been Missouri order. then it would
have had the privilege of putting up a
defense of suicide, but so long as Mrs.
Huff resided in Missouri and Sover-
eign camp was incorporated in Ne
braska that right was denied.

TO BENEFIT COMMERCE.
United Statea Omcers Will Mark Out
Ocean Paths Between New Islands
In the Pacific.

Washington, June 12.[Important
work for the benefit of commerce in
the Pacific is to be performed by the
navy now that congress has author
lied the appropriation of 100000 for
ocean and lake surveys. Rear Admi-
raj Bradford, chief of the bureau of
equipment, has approved an elaborate
charting of the triangle formed by
the Hawaiian islands, the southern
most point of the Philippines, and
the islands of Japan. 1t is also pur-
posed to establish a path between
Honolulu and the Philippines to be
followed by American warships, SO
that if any become disabled others
following may pick them up. 1t is
believed that merchant vessels will be
prompt to adopt the route.

Union Labor In Chicago Starts Educa-
tiOnai Campaign-Ward Clubs Will
Be Leading Feature.

Chicago, June 12.-Union labor has
taken new tack, and started what is
to be known as the Union Label ly-
ceum of Chicago. The promoters of
the movement declare that it is strict
ly an educational one, in which poll
tics will not be allowed to cut any fig
ure and questions of religion will be
barred. At the same time, it is ac-
knowledged that the main object of
the movement is to cultivate closer
relations between the members of Ia
Dor organizations and to assist others
as far as possible. Behind the move
ment is scheme for the organization
of ward clubs all over the city, the
preliminaries of which were settled
at a meeting last evening at the build
ing trades council headquarters. It is
believed by those acquainted with the
growth of the idea that the future
of the organization will have an i'm
portant bearing on politics, notwith-
standing the protestations of the pro-
moters that politics will be barred.

eUENcAMlNo's STORY.
Aguiualdo's Former Secretary of State
Says Bryan and Hoar Wrote Letters
to the Filipino Rebels.

Manila, June 12-(correspondenc
The great store of insurgent docu-
ments discovered by Gen. Funston
throw interesting light upon the Fill
pino government. But Buencamino,
the secretary of state of the Filipino
revolutionary government, who is in
Manila, says none of the really impor-
tant secret papers were found. He
says that among the missing papers
was correspondence with foreign gov
ernments and letters from anti-im-
perialists, including w. ]. Bryan and
Senator Hoar. All of these, he says,
were sent to Hong Kong last Septem-
Der for safe keeping in the hands of
the junta. The purport of the letters
from anti-imperialists, according to
his recollection, was that the Fill
pinos should adhere to their demand
for independence and they would
eventually be sustained by the Ameri-
can voters.

BLOODY DAY IN ST. LOUIS.


ST. Louis, June 12.-Sunday was one
of the most eventful and bloody days
since the great strike on the st.
Louis Transit began more than one
month ago. There were numerous
encounters between strikers and
other riotous individuals and the con-
stituted authorities, resulting in four
deaths and the wounding of five or
more persons, mostly strikers. Mem
bers of the sheriff's posse used their
guns with deadly effect.
With one exception all the street
car lines are in operation. Each car
carried the usual guard of police Off
GERS, on some lines running through
unruly districts the number being
doubled. Squads and companies of
the sheriff's posse men are on duty at
all the power houses and car sheds
of the Transit company, and at the
barracks on Washington avenue, in
front of which Sundays terrible en-
counter took place. Chief of Police
Campbell, who Saturday expressed an
opinion that the state troops should
be called out, now says: 81 don't
think I would recommend that the
state troops be called upon just yet.
The developments of yesterday,
think, show that we are able to han
die the situation. There were
great many persons shot and several
killed. I deeply deplore the necessity
for such action, but it only shows
that our force is equal to almost any
occasion. A meeting of the police
board will be held at the four courts
to-day to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
calling on the governor for the mill
tia, but shall not recommend it UNI
til matters grow worse"
It is just one month and three days
since the strike began. Since the
first day there have been numerous
encounters between the strikers OF
their sympathizers ON one side and
the authorities on the other. These
encounters have resulted in ten ia
talities and the wounding of at least
so persons.

the 16 Issue.

Chicago, June 12.-Senator James

democratic committee, arrived in Chi
eAgo Monday and will be here several
DAYS looking over the preliminary
work of the coming presidential cam

.srhere is absolutely no truth in the
report that I will endeavor to per

Columbus, O., June 12.-The' demo-

gagements prevent him from attend

the case here this week. 1t is con-
coded that the convention will unan-
imously indorse Bryan for president

Has 5000 Men Prepared to Move.

LOdOn, June 12.-Extreme meas
hreS have been inaugurated by the
foreign commanders in China for the
purpose of suppressing the boxers"
The naval commanders of the Chris
tan countries now at Taku, proceed
ing in concert, have taken steps to re-
open the railway from Tien Tsin to
Pekin by force of arms. Workmen
are already repairing the road and a
composite force of 1 500 men, drafted
from the foreign squadrons in Chi
nese waters. are guarding the line.
Ordnance and armored trains are in
readiness with which this body will
push ON to Pekin when the road is re-
paired. Capt. McCalla and 100 Amer
lean marines are in the body. 1t is eX-
pected that the crisis will come when
the line is in readiness for use and
the troops start forward in the ar
mored train.
Russia is apparently preparing to
deal with the crisis, judging from a
dispatch from ST. Petersburg, which
follows: "As result of an under
standing between the Russian gov
eminent and the other powers, a dis
patch has been sent to Port Arthur
ordering that 5000 men of the Rus
sian garrison there shall be held in
immediate readiness to leave for
Tien Tsin whenever the Russian min
lister at Pekin asks for their assist
ance, or circumstances require their
intervention"

Tien Tsin, June I2.-It is learned
that but for the. firmness of the

Gala (of the Newark, in charge of

British consul there would have been
further delay in dispatching the in
ternational guards to Pekin, and the
majority of the forces would not
have been British. The representa-
tives of two European powers ques-
toned the necessity and afterwards
disparaged the idea that the British
force should preponderate. The An
glo-Americans, however, insisted and
carried their point. The Americans
generally dep1ore the smaIlness of the
United States forces here At the
same time they are ready to defer to
whatever may be considered best at
