THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSION

Their Plans.

About Ready to Start for the Island
to spend 1--WE rears-Outline Of
Their Plans.
WASHINGTON, March %. The
| Philippine Commission met this fore
noon and agreed upon certain outlines
which they will follow in their work
in the Philippines.
BY appointment the commission
waited upon Secretary Root about 8
| o'clock this afternoon, and they spent
three hours behind closed doors in
earnest conference.
At the conclusion of the conference
the Secretary said that the discussion
had covered the probable scope Of the
work of the commission for the next
two years. So far he had not been
able to present the commissioners writ
ten instructions, and what passed to-
day, was rather preparatory to the re-
ception of those instructions.
1t was not the intention at this time
to make the instructions public. But
it might be stated in general terms
the secretary said that the new COM
mission would have much broader
powers in dealing with the problems
arising in the Philippines than had its
predecessor. The primary purpose was
the establishment of local civil gov
ernments throughout the islands. In
the selection of the civil officers the
committee would have a free hand.
When asked whether the civil authors
ties would dominate the military, the
Secretary contented himself with the
reply that as he saw it no question
was likely to arise on that point; there
would be no chance for friction.
The commission will meet again to-
morrow and will continue the confer
ence with Secretary Root In the after
noon. That will be the last meeting
of the full commission in Washington
before the departure for Manila. The
members will dine with the President
at the White House tomorrow even
ing, and tomorrow night three of
them: Gen. Wright, Judge Ide and
Prof. Worcester, will go to their homes
to prepare their private affairs for a
two years absence in the Philippines.
Judge Taft, the chairman of the COM
mission, goes to New York Saturday,
but will return to Washington before
starting on his voyage. Prof. Moses
also leaves Saturday, going directly to
his home in California. The commits
sion will gather at San Francisco on
April IL, and will sail for Manila on
the 18th, on the army transport Han
cock.
The personnel of the attaches and
staff has been practically completed.
but Judge Taft preferred to defer the
announcement Of their names until to-
morrow, in order to comply with GER
tain formalities.

MINERS and OPERATORS
IN THE FIFTH OHIO DISTRICT
HAVE NOT REACHED AN
AGREEMENT
IN THEIR CONVENTION AS YET.
They Have Come Together Upon
Amicab1e Term ON Some
Clauses, But Are Widely Apart ON
Others-Charges That Operators
Have Not Acted in Good Faith
Heretofore.

The joint convention of the Fifth
sub-district of the coal miners and OPP
orators, which is being held at Bel
laire, convened again yesterday to hear
the report of the committee appointed
Wednesday evening to try and reach
an agreement on the scale, but
after several hours of conference the
two committees failed to agree and SO
reported to the joint convention at
their morning session. The matter
was taken up and discussed pro and
con but failed to agree and in the af-
ternoon session the miners took an adj
journment so that the two committees
might again meet and try tc come to an
agreement. Late last evening it could
not be learned what had been the re-
suit of this conference.
The operators claim that they have
agreed to conform with the ~Indianap-
oils scale, and are willing to pay eighty
cents per ton and $2.1O for inside day
wages. The radical difference is on
driving entrys and dead work. The
miners state that there are some mines
in the district which nave not on
formed with the last scale, and the
operators failed to keep their promise,
and that it is their object to have these
men placed equal with all in the dis
trict, as in the past other workmen
have had to acquiesce in order to keep
down trouble and to keep the mines in
operation.
One of the vital points at issue is
the driving of wet entrys, for which
the miners ask for an advance of TWEEN
ty-five cents per yard, and charge that
the operators have not conformed with
this section in the last agreement. Now
they ask for the enforcement of this
section. This also applies to wet
rooms. The miners say that they have
operators were questioned they would
promise better treatment in the flu
ture, but that the promise was all they
ever received.
The progress is slow and at present
the miners have Vice-President Sulli-
van and District President Smith at
their head, as President Haskins and
Secretary Stevenson had to leave on
account of a similar convention in the
Hooking Valley. Mr.. Sullivan and Mr..
Smith are capable men and will well
look after the miners interests. Chair
man Sours and Secretary Geltz are at
the head of the operators, and it can
well be said that both gentlemen will
duly watch the interests entrusted to
them, as both are well qualified for
ouch positions.
If an agreement is not reached it is
worthy of this body to say that both
worker and operator will leave on good
terms, and each with due respect to
the other, but it is hoped that an
agreement will be reached to-day.

Joe Copeland, Of Detroit, Mich, the
advertising man whose unique meth
DDS of boosting base ball have brought
him into prominence during the past
few years, has been signed by the
Wheeling management and arrived in
the city yesterday. Copeland will be re-
membered as the nan who rode horse
back through the streets toward the
close of the last season advertising the
Wheeling games by means of his stem
torian voice. He claims to have a few
more tricks up his sleeve now, and
the management made no mistake in
securing him. Copeland also received
an offer from McGraw, of Baltimore,
and one or two other managers, but
they came too late.
Connie Mack, manager of the Mil
waukee. team, offered five of his best
players to the Wheeling club a day or
two since for a small consideration.
Mack has shown many favors to the
Wheeling management and they are
appreciated. 1t is possible that n or
two of the men will be secured and the
others given to other Interstate teams
which need strengthening.
Pitchers Poole and Bates and Second
Baseman Lyons were expected to ar
rive from Cincinnati last night over
the Ohio River road, but did not come.
They will be here ready to begin prac-
tice work before the close of the pres
ent week.

Mccain, two of the strongest members
of Ashtabula's strong semi-profession-
al team, have signed contracts to play

5. The players will report April IA.
Several exhibition games prior to the

hoe, shortstop; Mike Mccain, left
field; McAllister, centre field; Bradley,
right field; Schmidt, Daniels, Wolfe

start.
