20 DAYS FROM MANILA.
Quick Trip Made by the o. s. Trans
port Thomas.

San Francisco Cal, May 16.-The
transport Thomas has arrived after a
run of twenty days from Manila, nine
teen from Nagasaki and sixteen from
Yokohama.
She brought 10 officers in the cabin, SO
sick soldiers, 43 discharged soldiers,
members of the hospital corps, z insane
patients, 9 guards, 2 prisoners. con-
tract nurses and the bodies of 10 sol
diers who died in the islands. There
were no deaths during the voyage.
Among the passengers is Brigadier
General Theodore A Schwan- Colonies
Jacob Kline, John w. French and Simon
Snyder are also on board. The Thomas
is in quarantine
Brigadier General Schwan, who has
been General Otis chief of staff in the
Philippines for nearly a year, will re-
main in San Francisco for a short time
awaiting orders from Washington as
signing him to duty elsewhere. Con-
corning the situation in the Philippines.
General Schwan is hopeful that it will
not be many months before affairs will
have naturally adjusted themselves to
the American control and the robber
gangs will have been stamped out.
The robber bands" said General
Schwan, are melted by native poll
ticians who impose upon the credulity
of the common herd. No people are SO
credulous as the lower class of Filipinos.
These leaders have been melting the ex-
soldiers to continue on the warpath, as
surfing them that an American election
was soon coming and Mckinley would
be defeated and the Americans with
drawn from the Philippines. There are
about $4,000 troops in the Philippines
now. That number is ample for the sit
uation. The islands are well covered
with American troops, carefully distrib-
uted to all the strategic points and each
garrison responsible for its own sphere
Of action. Many of the robber bands are
armed principally with keen edged
bolos. the native weapon. They pillage
small towns and frequently cut the
threats ofnatives who have been friend
ly to Americans. BY degrees, however,
the distributed garrisons are gaining the
confidence of the tOwnSpeOple, where
they are stationed and already have
succeeded in some cases in getting ma
tive help to guide them to the robbers.
After the wet season and after the
national elections in this country the
pacification Of the Philippines will nat
urally complete itself The natives are
quickly acquiring the English language
and even the troublesome class send
children to school to learn English. We
are in complete military possession of
the islands. The only problem is the
civil government of the islands, and
that will come as a natural consequence
of the others. In a year from now there
will not be any need for nearly so many
men as we have there now"

LONG SHOTS WON.
John Bright and Juanetta Win at
Louisville With Odds Up.

Louisville, KY. May 16.-With John
Bright at 5 to 1 in the betting, winning
the mile and fifty yards handicap in
worlds record time and with Juanetta
winning handily after being backed
down from so to 1 to Il to 1, there was
a great deal doing at Churchill Downs
Tuesday afternoon. There was a small
sized killing made on Juanetta in the
fifth race. All the pickers had the tip
and they got down with their twos
and fves in such haste and so plenti-
fully that the sixty to one chalked up
at the opening was quickly lowered to
thirty and finally to twelve. The mare
justified the confidence of her hackers
by winning handily in 1:14z. There was
a cheer that nearly took the roof off the
grand stand when it was seen that she
would win. It is said that the tip was
sent out to every pool room in the
country.
The chief event of the card was the
free handicap at a mile and fifty yards
in which Bangle, John Bright. Batten,

illusions. The race proved to be one of

A Profit Sharing Plan to Be
Tried at Galena.
An Idle Mill and Mine Leased
For the Experiment,
A TEST MONTHS RUN.
Two Cases of Smallpox Appear
at EmpOria Normal
And Nearly Have the Effect of
Disbanding School.

Galena, May 16.-Geo A. Williams has
taken an option for for one year on the
Piasa concentrating plant southwest or
town and began operations last Monday.
The mill and mine is owned by parties
from Piasa Bluffs. III. The mill has been
Idle for some time. the presence of a
high per cent of iron in the ore making
its operation Improbable.
In resuming the operation ofthePiasa,
Mr.. williams instituted a feature en-
tirely new in the district-a cooperative
or proht-sharing plan similar to that
inaugurated by a number of eastern
manufacturers recently. Contracts We're
signed between Mr.. Williams ana ms
employees for a months run. BY the
end of this time, it is thought. the plan
win have been thoroughly tested ana
Mr.. Williams will be satisfied as to the
capacity of the mine.
Under the terms Of this contract, the
employees agree to see that all operat-
ing eXpenses-aSide from laDor-and
royalties are first paid, then each work
man will draw his wages at the rates
usually paid under the wage scale in
force throughout the district. Should
the income be insufficient to pay all
operating expenses and regular wages,
the men agree to receive prOportionally
less. Should profit result, however, from
the weeks operation, Mr.. Williams
agrees to divide pro rata among his en-
ployes 25 per cent of such profit. This
plan meets with favor among the work
men and there is no difficulty exper-
fenced by the superintendent in employ
ing workmen under this plan. The
mill is running one shaft at ninety-hVe
feet and has a good face of ore. Mr.
Williams is steering clear Of those drifts
which contain mundic and is getting ex-
cellent results, his assays for this week
showing $50 per cent zinc, with about
2 per cent of iron. Four tons of jack
and I 900 pounds of lead were turned
out last Friday. Only three days run
was made last week, the balance Of the
time being devoted to repair work.
1t is the belief of the superintendent
that the mill will pay good dividends
giving the men at least 81 per day II
addition to their wages. The operating
expenses are about $50 per day.
