conclusions and plans suggested
by the commission. The report
also covers many other matters con-
nected with the social administration
of the islands, racial characteristics, ed
ucational, secular and religious orders,
the Chinese in the islands; public
health, currency, ETC., as well as the
conditions and needs of the United
States i'll the Philippines from naval
and maritime standpoint. The second
volume of the report, which will not be
ready for several weeks, will contain a
detailed description of the climate and
natural resources of the island. The
chief interest in the report naturally
centers in the plan of government pro-
posed by the commission.
The commission announces itself un-
qualitiedly i'll favor Of government of
the Philippine analogous to that of a
territory of the United States, with
governor appointed by the president.
They say it is desirable that the inhabi-
tants Of the archipelago should enjoy
large measure Of home rule in local af-
fairs; their towns to enjoy substantially
the rights and privileges of towns in a
territory.
The provinces should bo vested with
substantially functions of county in a
territory; this system might be applied
to Luzon and Viscayan islands at once
and beginning might be made on the
coast of Mindanao. The Sulu archipelago
calling for special arrangements with
the sultan, the commission say, need
not be considered III this connection.
The Filipinos could manage their own
town and county affairs through their
own officers whom they could elect with
no help from American officials except
such as would be involved in controlling
central government ut Manila. The
suffrage should be restricted by educa-
tional or property qualifications Or both.

expected he will die at any moment. The
shack was almost totally destroyed.
At Sis o'clock yesterday morning an
alarm was turned in and the department
responded, but found that the water was
turned of. A pumping engine was called
for and the flames extinguished with wa
ter pumped from the bay. While the
shack was in flames. and Just as the de-
partment reached the scene. a loud cry
was heard followed by pounding on a door.
The door was quickly broken down and
Fleming staggered out into the open air.
He presented a horrible sight The flesh
on his arms was burned SO that IL was
hanging in shreds. His face and head
were burned and blackened: not a ves-
tige OF hair was left. The skin of his
back was also charred and blackened.
In daEed manner he walked, with as
sistance, toward the police patrol wagon
which had arrived but just as he reached

He was taken at once to Providence hos

values witn similar depths have been
about the same. In a recent article In the
Post lntellieencer regarding these two
properties the values of the ore on their
dumps was made to read 1920 per ton
average. This was n mistake. as the
report should have read $50 per ton, which
IL considered a good value for any prop.
