Root. United States Secretary of War.
the Philippine Commission has prepared
recommendations as to the form OF gen.

for the Philippines July / and to continue
until Congress shall have organized a
permanent government for the archipel-
ago
This temporary civil government Is ex-
pected to consist OF governor, a cabi-
net and a legislative council. and 1t is
believed that the members of the present
commission will act as the principal ad-
visers of Gov. Gen. Taft, although there
proba bly, will be few Filipinos in the
council. The members Of the provisional
legislature all will be appointed.
The commission will reach Manila May

excepting Samar and Mindoro. AS soon
as routine business has been disposed of,
the commission will proceed to the or
ganization of remaining provinces in the
Island of Luzon and also will deal with
the matter of city government for Manila.
Conferences last week with many Mo
ros, Mlndanao tribeamen and others con-
flrmed the members of the commission in
their intention not to substitute provln-
cial for departmental government in Min
danao and the Sulu group except by the
organization of the province of Northern
Mmdanao. Judge Taft says the matter
of abolishfng slavery can and will be
handled deliberately and tactfully, but
that no legislation affecting polygamy
among the savages Is probable. Capis

which consisted of about 10000 bushels
Of wheat and corn, were fully insured II
was his opinion that the loss of the grain
would not affect the local market.
The burned elevator was the second
largest in st. Louis and was used for
storage purposes by others than members
of the st. Louis Elevator and Storage
Company, but the latter just at this time
happened to own most of the grain. The
building contained corn and wheat of
grades below No. 2. Only small amount
of high class cereals was stored there.
The building was insured for $4,000 and
the storage company's grain for S550,000
Other insurance on private storage will
aggregate $4,000. Nearly every insurance
company represented in st. Louis carried
policies on the grain. There will be little
if any grain salvage, the fire and water

he was off Mantinicus, Maine, when the

men decided to take the yawl, and had
proceeded but a short distance when the
craft was swamped by a heavy sea. As
the men were heavily dressed excepting
the mate, they went to their doom The
mate. after an awful struggle in the surf,
nearly reached the shore, but sank back
exhausted and unconscious a short dis
tance away. He was rescued by two fish
ermen, who secured him before he could
be washed back into deep water.
Capt. Mersebuy was married in st.
John three months ago and his widow re-

COURT ANXIOUS TO RETURN.
Difficulties in the Way of Keeping
So Many Troops in Pekin.

Pelxin April Mr. Rockhill, United
States Special Commissioner in Pelxin,
had a long interview yesterday with Ii
Hung Chang who satisfied him that there
is not likely to be any further important
hitch in the negotiations for a settlement
between China and the Powers. China
has agreed to the list of punishments sub
mitted by the ministers of the Powers,
asking only one concession, namely, de-
privation of office, instead of Punishment,
in the case of a man who is seventy years
Of age. To this the ministers have agreed.
Ii Hung Chang says the court is ex-
tremely anxious to return to Pekin as
soon as the foreign troops eVacuate the
capital
Some of the ministers of the Powers
begin to think that so large force as
ZOO troops acting as legation guards in
the city proper would be a great mistake.
Such body would have to remain in a
space of one square mile. The troops
could not be allowed outside the legation
quarter armed, and it would probably not
be safe for them to go unarmed.
The Soldiers Are QuarreIsOme.
1t is thought by some of the ministers
that, if the encampment were made from
y TO Is miles away with the necessary
stores, this arrangement would be much
preferable, as telegram could bring the
troops into the city Immediately. More
over, several ministers have been insult
ed by troops of other nationalities. Mr..
Hockhil and Sir Ernest Mason Satow,
Inc British minister, were returning from
olnner in Sedan chairs when the chairs
were stopped by German soldiers who
preceded to beat the bearers. The ladies
