NEW GOVERNMENT
Philippine Laws Receiving the Atten.
 tion of the President.

Washington, June 6.-The new civil gov- ernment to be established in the Philip pines Is receiving the consideration of the President and of the Secretary of War. It will differ very little from what was first intended, as there will be a Governor for the archipelago, a legislative council and other officers. This government will have control of all civil affairs. but it will be under the war power, to the extent of be- ing directed by the Secretary of War. There will be a nice distinction as to the authority of the general commanding the troops in the Philippines and the Governor to be appointed under the civil govern ment, but the Secretary of War will be supreme While it is not the intention to conduct the government of the Philip pines under the Spooner law. that law will be taken as sanctioning what is to be done. The new government will be similar to that which existed for a short time in the early days of New Mexico. There was a civil Governor appointed by the Presi- dent and commanding general of the army. Both had their functions in pre- serving the peace and controlling the af- fairs of the territory.

 Miss, Results Seriously

Vicksburg, Miss, June 6.-Ten persons were injured, three seriously, in a head end collision between two Mississippi Val ley passenger trains at o'clock this morn- ing north of Vicksburg. The injured are:

 w. J. Harvey, mail clerk, ribs crushed
 Ed Hollingsworth. colored fireman, hip dislocated and internal bruises.
 James Williams, colored fireman, inter- nal bruises
 W. c. White, conductor, injuries to shoulder and breast.
 Ed Montgomery, fagman. and Engineer Skillman, slight bruises about heads and shoulders.
 Of the passengers, Miss Mary Doughty of Nagodoches, Texas, was the most se riously injured, her arm and hand being badly crushed. number of other pas sengers were badly shaken up. The trains met on a sharp curve near Flowerree, sixteen miles north of this city, and but for the prompt action of Engineer Jones of the northbound train in reversing his engine, the wreck would have been more complete. The southbound train was six and half hours late, and was running at high rate of speed to make up time. At Clarkesdale, five hours earlier, the southbound train crashed into caboose, and Engineer Dana received injuries which may prove fatal.

President Williams Says 1t Is Not Af- fected By Appointment of Receiver.

Richmond, Va, June 6.-John Skelton Williams, president of the Seaboard Air Line gave out the following today:
 'The statement which appeared in the morning papers concerning receiver for the South Bound Railroad is misleading. The whole controversy arose over a S75OO personal injury case which the South Bound Railroad disputes and has ap- pealed.
 ''The judge of the State court who granted the order distinctly states that his order cannot affect the plea for the consolidation of the South Bound to the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad or the Seaboard Air Line Railroad and the receiver is only authorized to take charge of any of the property of the South Bound Railroad which Is not cov cred by the lease
 "As all of the property of the South Bound Is leased, the receivers hands are empty and he has no duties to perform. The order does not in any way affect the operation or control of the South Bound Railroad which is being operated and will continue to be operated as heretofore

 Up in Congress of Americans.

Washington, June 6.-It was stated by officials today that no material develop ments have occurred of late regarding the degree to which the arbitration plan before the coming Congress of American Republics, to be held in the City of Mex leo. shall be considered.

It also stated today that Argentine. Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil had made known their purpose not to par ticipate unless the debate on arbitration proceeds on broad lines.

TWO COMMITTEES
 WILL REPORT TODAY

Montgomery, June 6.-(Special. )-The committee on executive department, of which Ex-Governor Jones of Montgomery is chairman, will make a report to the convention tomorrow. The committee will report in favor of creating the office of lieutenant governor, to be elected at the same time as the Governor. In the event the Governor dies or becomes disqualified for any reason the Lieutenant Governor is to act in his place. It also provides for succession in case the Lieutenant Governor becomes disqualified. The Gov ernor's salary will be increased to S5000.
 The committee will also report in favor of establishing a board of pardons, to be composed of the Governor the attor- ney general and the auditor. They will be required to sit at such times as the Governor may direct, their sessions to be open, and their report to be made in writing to the Governor. He Is not abso- lutely bound by their report, but is to give due right to 1t.
 It also reports favorably on Governor Jones' plan of board of conciliation to settle labor disputes. This board is to be composed of the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Attorney General and two disinterested citizens. The report also changes the office of Commissioner of Agriculture and makes him the Commis- sioner of Agriculture and Industries. It also changes the time prescribed for the Governor to approve bills by giving him ten days after the adjournment of the Legislature in which to sign bills which he approves Bills not signed by him within that time do not become laws.
 The committee on legislative depart ment of which Ex-Governor Oates is chairman is at work and will probably report next week. It will report an en- tire article and not each ordinance sepa- rately. So far the committee has de- cided on the following amendments,

Horrible Fate of Members of the German South Sea
 Expedition SAVaGES TURNED TRAITORS
After Appearing as Friends They Formed Plot and Attacked the Camp, Killing 12 Men and De-
 Votring Their Bodies.

Berlin, June 6.-The TagebIa4t prints special correspondence from New Guinea containing a full acout of the massacre of the members of the First Germany South Sea expedition on the Cannfbal island of St. Matthias. They were all killed and eaten save Dr. Heinroth
 The Colonial Zeitung. the official organ of the German colonial society, furnishes details of the massacre. It seems that the vessel which carried the expedition to the island of St. Matthias left after few days for Herbertshoh, New Britain, to get coal and fresh supplies. During it's absence the savages who had hitherto ap- peared friendly, although known 10 be rabid cannibals, planned to kill and rob the diminished party. The plot was car ried out one morning while the members of the expedition. who had body guard of forty drilled papuanas were cleaning their rifles which they had taken apart Suddenly eighty of the islanders broke from the bushes, raising fierce war cries and brandishing spears with which they stabed to death the leader of the party, Dr. Mencken, Heretofore cabIed as Merick or Mencke). his secretary. Herr Caro-, and white sailor, who was asleep under a tent.
 Dr. Heinroth emptied his revolver into his assailants while the body guard in the meantime retired to the boats with the wounded and Dr. Heinroth, leaving twelve dead. They put off to an island not far distant where the expeditionary vessel rescued them. Subsequently the survivors returned to the island of St. Matthias where they found that the bodies had been devoured and the camp absolutely footed.

MIR. YERKES TELLS
 OF YANKEE THRIFT
His Syndicate Has Secured Con- troI of the London Under
 ground Railroad

London, June 6.-''Yes," said MT. Yerkes when interviewed tonight by representa- tive of the Associated Press, i've have practically got control of the London Gn- derground Railway That is what it will amount to. My syndicate is composed of both British and American financiers, al though far the largest proportion of the capital comes from .he United States. We hope to begin work in few months, as soon as the necessary consent of Parlia- ment has been obtained.
 "The system we intend to install is ai- most exactly similar to that in use on the elevated lines in Chicago. We will sell the present anticipated cars and sub stitute those of an American pattern. We intend to rebuild the stations, to install arc lights and to make the road equal to any rapid transit line in the world
 "Yes. we must have American engineers to do the work. They know nothing about that sort of thing here. I will tell you what the trouble is with the English scrap heap.
 "As to the agitation of the United States buying up England it is absurd. As natural result, the circumstances are now reversed from years ago, when England put her money in American in vestment. She didn't buy us out. be- cause she couldn't, and furthermore we don't want to buy her out.
 The people who built the London tube" said MT. Yerkes 'knew nothing except how to dig holes Everything else is wrong Chicago is ahead of the rest of the world in electrical traction. If they had studied the Chicago system they might have given London something better"

Convention Notes.

MT. J. B. Graham, chairman of the com mittee on education is the first member of the convention to receive bouquet. It was not the kind of airy bouquets as are thrown at people, but an enormous bou- quet of real roses placed on his desk by admiring friends in appreciation of his efforts on behalf of educational matters in the State.
 There will be little change made in the military laws of the State. MT. Brooks bill to create and organize a State naval maltia will probably be adopted. This will not cost the State much money, as Congress makes an appropriation for this purpose.
 The committee on taxation, 1t is under stood, is opposed to any plan for local school taxation which will bring the total amount of taxes beyond the tax limit as it now exists. The farthest the committees report will go in this particular will be to allow communities to levy special tax so as to bring the tax limit up to the maxi mum in case the State ever reduces its rate of taxation. This is in substance the plan of MT Brown of Talladega,
