REPORT on PHILIPPINEs.
VIII he Filed by Commission In
February.

NEW YORK, Jan. ia special to the
Times from Washington says: About the
last Of January the Philippine commission
will submit their full report to the presi-
dent. President Schurman was at the
White House Thursday, to announce that
progress was being made, and that before
February the work of the new committee
would be completed. The report made In
September was q general one, In which all
the commissioners Joined. In the full re-
port each commissioner will deal with a
separate subject.
That of President Schurman is on gov
eminent for the Philippines. He has con-
sidered the matter fully and has discussed
his report with the president. It Is assum-
ed that such practical points as he may
offer will be brought to the attention OF
suggested in the congress. by both senators
and house.
AS to the question Of again sending a
commission to the Philippines, it has heen
suggested in the congress, by both enators
and representatives. that joint commit
tee Of members might be named for that
purpose. 1t would be very popular and
also very expensive, but II is insisted that
1t would be better way of preparing con-
gress for the Legislative action than the
plan of making up commission outside
Of congress and expecting members of both
houses to read their report, after 1t had
been made. in order that it may become
informed. 1t is said that special COM
mittee OF members, well known, would be
more interesting and impressive.

Killed,

DENVER. Col. Jan. PA special to
the News from Almo Gordo, N. NJ, says:
Details of the blizzard which swept over
Southwestern New Mexico Tuesday and
Wednesday are just coming in and they
indicate that 1t was the severest storm
ever experienced in the region. stretch
OF territory fifty miles in width, with
White Oaks and Nogal for the center,
seemed to suffer the most, although the
severity of the storm was fully felt
throughout the Sacramento mountain re-
gion.
The velocity of the wind was terrible,
all roads and trails were obliterated, and
the driving snow made it impossible for
travellers to see their way In the storm.
When the storm abated wagons which had
been abandoned were found strewn all
over the country.
Several fatalities are reported, including
the driver of the White Oaks-Lincoln
stage. 1t is feared that many sheep herd
ers have lost their lives.
Thousands of head of stock persisted and
1t is believed that the loss will aggregate
over half a million dollars.

STRONG EVIDENCE
AGAINST CLARK.
Continued from Page One.

was opposed to Clarks candidacy. He
had at first thought Mr.. whiteside's prop
oation little unique but after thinking
1t over he had decided it was proper.
The witness said DR.. Minshall was to
have been appointed physician at MT.
Clark's coal mines, but that instead OF his
getting the place 1t was given to MEM
Der Of the legislature who had voted for
Mr. Clark.
Carr Tells n Peculiar story.
The last witness of the day was Henry r.
Carr. member Of the legislature from
Flathead county, Mont He is one Of the
members of the legislature in whose name
money was turned over to the legislative
committee by Mr.. whiteside. the only one
of whom afterward voted for Clark Re-
ferring to his transactions with Mr.. White
side the witness said Mr.. Whiteside had
been a warm supporter Of his and he had
listened respectfully when Whiteside had
asked him to go to his room and had COM
piled with his request when Mr.. White
side had asked him to mark for identifica-
ton an envelope containing Sc, 900 in $1,000
bills which WhIteside had brought to him
at the Helena hotel, during the session of
the legislature last winter.
He had no reason for doing this except
his confidence in Whiteside and the addi-
tional fact that he himself was an ''egregf-
Gus ass" He had, however, put his initi-
els on the envelope exhibited yesterday in
the committee as the one SO marked. He
declared that Mr.. Whiteside had never said
anything to him about voting for Clark,
and that he had kept his promise to Con-
raids friends to vote for him as long as he
had chance of election. He pronounced
as untrue the report that he had told Judge
D. r. Smith that he was to vote for Clark
and receive 5000 for so doing.
His Aunt's Sudden Wealth.
In reply to questions from Mr.. Camp
bell, Mr.. Carr stated that since the adj
journment of the legislature he had pur-
chased ranch for an aunt living with
him, paying 5000 for it and that he had
also loaned $500 for her.
This aunt had lived with him for seven
years and he had never before transacted
any business for her or knew whether she
had money or not. The ranch was paid for
in currency. one of the bills Of the denom-
inatien of $1,000 He had had to vote for
Clark in the end to avoid deadlock in the
legislature.
On cross-examination Mr.. Carr said he
had never received any money for voting
for Clark or for promising to vote for him.
The committee at $50. after seven
hours sitting, adjourned.

PRUSSIA MAKES TERMS.
New York Life Receives the Most
Favorable COncessiOns.

BERLIN, Jan. 12--It is rumored here
that the Mutual Life Insurance Company,
of New York Is to be readmitted to Prus-
STA on condition that it will deposit with
the government the full policy reserve on
Prussian policies. this deposit to be made
made the government will waive the re-
qurement which calls for the disposal of
the company's stocks, amounting in the
case Of the Mutual Life to $50. 900, 900. The

called upon to deposit the full reserve be-
cause 1t has agreed to, dispose of all It's
stocks. Its deposit with the government
is, therefore. but half the amount re-
quired Of the Mutual Life.
