OUTLINES A POLICY.
President Schurman Submits Report ri
phiIippiue Communications

fresIuent Schurmau Submits Report of
philippine Commission.
Here is the plan of government propos-
ed for the Philippines by the Philippine
commission, after peace has been estab-
lished:
i. An American governor to control
the affairs of the entire archipelago, and
to be appointed by the President.
2. An advisory counci TO tie governor,
composed of Americans and natives.
3. A legislative assembly, partly ap-
pointiye and partly elective, whose acts
shall be subject to the qualified veto of
the governor and the absolute vote OF
Congress.
4. Governors to be appointed for the
provinces; and the subdivision of the ISL
ands into small sections, over which
Americans or educated natives Will pre-
side.
In discussing the report President
Schurman of the commission said: The
motive has been taking account of the
political experiences, as well as the po-
litical aspirations of the Filipinos, to de-
wise form of government adapted to
them, so as to secure on the one hand
good government and on the other to sat
isfy their aspirations for self-govern-
ment"
The scheme of government as outlined
above has been made elastic enough to
enable the substitution of natives for
Americans when it becomes apparent
they are sufficiently well versed in self
government to properly administer public
affairs with which they may be intrusted.
AT first they will be put in minor offices,
and gradually introduced into positions
of responsibility

HER EYELIOS SAVED HER.
A Supposed Dead Woman's Esca pc from
Burial Alive,

A Supposed Dead Woman's Escape from
Burial Alive.
Mrs. Christina Hirth of East st. Louis
narrowly escaped burial alive. She had
been i'll three months and Monday morn
ing of last week apparently expired at
the county hospital. The doctor came
and felt her pulse and applied other tests
and pronounced her dead. The county
undertaken was called, the body was TAX
en- to the dead room and laid out on a
cooling board. Cloths saturated with
bleaching fluid were placed over the face
and the body. The shroud and clothing
in which she was to be buried were pre-
pared.
While busy with his preparations to-
ward embalming. the undertaken was
startled by noise proceeding from the
direction of the corpse. He glanced
hastily. but there was no motion in the
white-sheeted figure. When he came to
remove the sheet from tne face, however,
he noticed that one of the weights had
fallen off an eyeld. In replacing il he
thought that he detected slight quyer

This time the quiver in the eye was more
pronounced. There was no heart motion
or breathing that he could detect and
he was about to inject the fluid when
again he noticed the quiver, and then, to
be thoroughly satisfied, he applied the
most powerful test of life known TO un-
dertakers. There was an unmistakable
though faint indication of life in response
Assistance H3s summoned, the partial
iy embalmed woman removed TO bed
and restoratiyes were applied by the doc
tors. She was able, after several hours,
to speak in a whisper and move her mus
cles, but the weakness caused by her ill
ness and the terrible ordeal through
which she had passed told heavily upon
her. and she could make no statement
as to her experiences while in trance.

| unanimous in the question OF fact. and
also IN the ineligibility OF Rajerts to hold
his seat in the House. Seven OF the mem
bers voted in favor of a report to the
effect that the House was within lis

The findings on the fact are as follows:
We find that b. H. Roberts was elect
ed as Representative to the Fifty
sixth Congress from the State of Utah.
and was at The date of his election above
the age of p years; that he had been
for more than seven years patura.ized

wife, with whom he has ever since lived
as such. aud who. since their marriage,
has borne him six children.
That about 1885 he married, as his
plural wife, Celia Dibble, with whom he
has ever since lived as such, and who,
since such marriage, has borne him six
children, of whom the last were twins,
born Aug. IL, 1897.
THAT some years after his said mar
riage to Celia Dibble he contracted an
other plural marriage with Margaret G..
Shipp, with whom he has ever since lived
in the habit and repute of marriage. Your
committee is unable to fix the exact date
of this marriage. 1t does not appear that
he held her out as his wife before Jan
uary, 1897, or that before that date she
held him out as her husband or that be-
fore that date they were reputed to be
husband and wife.
That these facts were generally known
in Utah, publicly charged against him
during his campaign for election, and
were not denied by him.
THAT the testimony bearing on these
facts was taken in the presence of Mr..
Roberts and that he fully cross ss-examined
the witnesses, but declined to place him
self on the witness stand"
