TAFT COMMISSION.
Ready to Establish Civil Government In
the Philippines.

Ready to Establish Civil Government In
the Philippines.
New York, Sept. "a special to the
Hera Id from Washington says:
All arrangements have been practi-
cally perfected by the Taft commission
for commencing it's duties in comnnec.
tion with the establishment of civil
governments in the Philippines. The
committee will assume on September
all the functions which properly belong
to the legislative branch of the govern
ment.
1t is not proposed that it shall be in
supreme control. Major General Mac
Arthur will be the executive of the
islands and the commission will be CO.
ordinate with him, just as the execu.
tive and legislative branches in the
United States are on the same plane.
Civil government will not be establish
ed except in those towns where the
military authorities are satisfied there
is no danger of insurrection. The
commission and the military will
work together to propitiate the natives
and induce them to return to their
peaceful avocations.
For the suppression of those insur-
gents who continue in arms it is under.
stood measures will be taken as soon as
the dry season begins. General Mac.
Arthur will soon have force of nearly
200 effective men, who will be used
to destroy the insurgent organizations
when operations can begin.

NOT THE END OF 1T.
There Will Be an Inquiry Into the
OregOn's Mishap.

There will Be an Inquiry Into the
Oregon's Mishap.
Washington, Sept. 5.-The report Of
Captain Wilde, exonerating every body
connected with the Oregon rom blame,
is not likely to end with the ex-parte
statement of the commanding officer.
There will be court of inquiry to de-
termine whether the great battle-ship
had the care and attention which
should have been given it by the off,
GERS who were aboard her.
Although there is a determined ef-
fort to prevent anything like the con-
troll of Chinese territory by the United
States, the best-informed here think
that it will be inevitable, or that this
government will have to give up all idea
of indemnity for the outrages which
have been perpetrated upon American
citizens.
There is a suspicion now that the
movement of Russia for the with
drawal of troops was made with full
knowledge that the other powers
would not consent, and that it is SIM
ply plea for another diplomatic posi-
tion when negotiations open with Chi
nese authorities.

Election in A rkansas.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 5.-The en-
tire Democratic ticket, headed by Hon.
Jefferson Davis, of Pope county. fo1
governor, was elected in Arkansas to.
day. Early returns indicate that the
vote will be lighter than was expected.
H. L. Remmel, the Republican candi-
date for governor, made good show
ing and his increased vote over two
years ago will probably reduce the u.s.
ually large Democratic majority.
There was no opposition to the Demo-
cratic ticket for any Office except the
governship. The negroes voted in
larger numbers than usual, but their
vote Is not large enough to affect the
result. A fair estimate places the to-
tai vote as follows: Davis, Democrat,
100000; Remmel, Republican, 100000;
Files, Popullst, 5000; Davis major
ity. $1,000,

MURDERED BY sIBERIANs.
r. Scott Morrison. of Chicago, Shot by
Natives-Captain Gilley Drowned.


Natives-Captain Gilley Drowned.
Seattle. Sept. 3.-The steamship Sen.
Ator, which arrived today from Nome,
brought news of a brutal murder, in
which the life of F. Scott Morrison, of
Chicago, was sacrificed to the blood
thirsty savagery of Siberian natives.
She brings also the report of the
drowning of Captain Gilley. noted
Alaskan explorer, whose good or bad
fortune it was to have killed five North
ern Indians some years ago while they
were trying to take forcible possession
of vessel of which he was master.
Gilley was captain of the sailing
schooner Edith, which, with F. Scott
Morrison and Edward Foregren, as pas.
sengers, sailed from Nome, August =,
for Siberia on trading and prospect
ing expedition. They had enlisted the
services of an Indian named Sam to
pilot them to Siberian shores, where
they arrived the Friday following their
departure. That afternoon was passed
in making exchanges with the natives,
who appeared TO be both friendly and
peaceable. About 10 o'clock at night,
Morrison retired to his stateroom, and
few moments later shots from ashore
were heard. The reports had hardly
subsidized when Morrison exclaimed:
"I've been shot" His shipmates
hurried to his assistance. They found
that the bullet had penetrated the side
of the schooner and stateEoom, enter
ing Morrison's g groin. A few minutes
later the vessel set sail for American
shores, but Morrison succumbed to his
injuries at O'Clock the next morning.
The next day, when in the vicinity
of Sledge island, Is or 20 miles off
Nome. Captain Gilley went on deck and
seated himself on the rail of the ves-
sci. A second later the boom swung
around, striking him. He toppled
over into the sea and drowned before
assistance could reach him. His body
was recovered. Foregren assumed
command of the Edith, and, with the
aid of Sledge island Indian. succeed
ed in reaching Nome in safety. Nor
risop was passenger to Nome on the
first voyage of the Jeanne, which
reached the district May 2. With NJ.
G. Anderson, he was engaged in the
saloon and general merchandise busi-
ness at Nome. His widow and five
step-children, one of whom, H. G.
Heisler, accompanied him to Alaska,
survive him. Captain Gilley was 60
years old and a native of the Island OF
Borneo. He had been a resident OF
Alaska for nearly two decades. His
fight with the Indians, in which 10 are
said to have been slain, occurred at
Cape Prince of Wales.
"Jack" Hawkins, a passenger on
the Senator, says the steam schooner
Samoa arrived at Nome from Siberia
the night the Senator sailed. In cross
ing from the czar's domain, her pas
sengers, composed of Russians, Eng
lish and Americans. are reported to
have engaged in a general row, result
ing in the master of the vessel calling
for the United States marshal as soon
as he reached Nome. Hawkins did
not learn the particulars, though he is
inclined to believe that there was seri-
GUS trouble aboard. The Senator
sailed an hour after the Samoa's ar.
rival.

The Platform.

The following platform was adopted
by the convention:
We, the representatives of the DEM
ocratic. Peoples and Silver Republican
parties of tine state of Washington, as
sembled in joint convention this 29th
day of August, 1900, respectively re-
affirm our faith in the principles
enunciated by our respective national
conventions; and we pledge our earnest
support to the peerless representatives
of the people, William Jennings Bryan
and Adlai E. Stevenson.
We still believe in the Declaration
of Independence, and therefore hold it
aloft in preference to the imperialistic
policy of the Republican party.
We oppose trusts and combinations
which corner the products of industry
and levy tribute on the people.
We denounce these twin relics of
arbarism-imperialis and militar-
ism-whether in the form of trusts at
home or greed Of conquest abroad.
We pledge our representatives in
congress to work for the passage of q
measure providing payment for the time
COuSuHcu ny OuT bbd6o fOluutcoTS III
the late war with Spain.
We favor just and liberal pensions
to the true and faithful soldiers of the
United States, including the gallant
Indian war veterans.
We demand such legislation as will
insure to the farmers and producers OF
the state of Washington a reduction Of
freight rates aud fares to just basis.
We demand the Inauguration OF
such measures as shall give the people
the right to express themselves, when
they SO elect, upon all important ques-
tions, by the system known as direct
legislation.
We commend the official conduct OF
all our state officers, and call attention
to the contrast between the present ex-
cellent financial condition of the state
and the blight and ruin prophesied by
the opposition to surely result from the
election of our state officers.
We commend the wise, courageous
and patriotic manner in which the Hon.
George Turner, our represen tative in
the United States senate, has defended
the honor of his country and fulfilled
his duty to the people of the state OF
Washington.

Seattle, August 31.-John r. Rogers
was renominated for governor by the
union Democratic convention on the
eigth ballot, at o'clock this morning.
He received 7087a votes. or 61a more
than the necessary number. The con-
test throughout was most exciting, and
great disorder many times marked the
course of proceedings in the tonven-
ton. Rogers on the first ballot re-
.ceived 633 votes, and gained on every
ballot until his final victory. He was
actually nominated on the seventh ball
lot, but in the confusion and through
a misunderstanding as to the vote of
the Walla Walla Populists he lost four
votes intended to be cast for him. He
then wanted only Il votes. The
chairman ordered another vote, which
!, was decisive.
The unexpected turn of events in
Rogers direction came about with the
nomination of Robertson, of Spokane.
tor congressman. This state nominates
both congressmen-at-large. 1t was the
plan of the anti Rogers faction to put
j. 7. Ronald, of King, whom a great
ma jority undoubtedly favor, against
Robertson, for one nomination, and
thus kill off Robertson, and leave the
way open to Voorhees, as a candidate
for governor. Robertson proved very
strong candidate, and led Ronald. and
as the balloting proceeded seemed cer-
tain to defeat him. Many delegates
voted for Robertson, expecting to give
Ronald the second nomination. The
King county man had made combi-
nation with Thurston Daniels for the
other nomination, and he could not
honorably enter the second contest.
Daniels finally solved the problem for
King comfy and saved Ronald's neck
by Offering to withdraw. Ronald and
Robertson were then nominated by ao-
clamatiOn.
