ONLY 4 FEW ROBBER BANDS
Now Left for Our Soldiers to
 Fight in Philippines.

Aguinaldo's Former Secretary of State
 Now in This Country, Says Peace is
 Completely Restored-He Praises
 the United States Soldiers and Says
 the Whole Army Should Not Be
 Condemned for the Abuses of Few.
 Chicago, June 19.-Don Felipe Buen- camino, who was secretary of state 1n Aguinaldo's cabinet, will make Chicago the principal stopping place ill his tour of commercial investigation in the United States.
 He arrived from St Louis last night and will remain here until he hears from Canton, where he hopes to call on Mrs Mckinley if her health will permit the visit
 Don Felipe has come to learn about the political and commercial prospects of the Philippines, and has already visited Washington, Charleston, At lanta and St Louis. He is strongly in favor of the continuance of Amer ican rule in the Philippines.
 My objects in coming to this coun- try are many" said he. q want to SAp1 lO tue pGOplG Ol tLe States the situation in the Philippines at the present time; to ask for amnes- ty for former rebels; for further edu- cational facilities for the people; such as an appropriation permitting the ed ucation of young Filipinos in this country; to secure 6,000 more Ameri- can teachers in the islands at higher salaries than they are at present re- ceiving, and to collect data to hold an exposition in Manila ill honor of the Philippine hero, Dr Rizal.
 Another purpose of my visit iS to further the development of commer- cial relations between the archipelago and the United States. The Ameri- can people should understand clearly that peace is completely restored. All that remains are a few robber bands, which can be easily disposed of by the native constabulary, and they prob ably will be dispersed or exterminated within six months.
 Tn regard to the reports of atroci- ties committed by American soldiers in the islands, there have been some abuses, but the authorities have seen that the perpetrators received the pun ishment they deserved It is not fair to condemn the whole army for the abuses of a few soldiers.''

 Scheme Will Be Paid Per Cent
 Per Annum on Their Stock
 Boston. June 19.-A voluntary trust instead of a new corporation is now proposed for the reorganization of the New England Gas and Coke com pany, and plan has been formulated to carry out this project. The plan, which has been submitted to the bond holders and stockholders of the New England Gas and Coke company, pro- yides for the creation of the trust with ten trustees, to be known as the Mas sachusettS Gas companies to acquire the business of the New England Gas and Coke company, for which purpose 3O,O0O,OOO in stock is to be issued to be equally divided between common and preferred shares.
 Under the plan suggested the pres ferred shares will be entitled to semi annual, preferred, cumulative divi- dends at the rate of per cent per an- mum, which will begin to accrue De- cember l, 1902; and will also be en- titled, in case of liquidation, to be paid in full at par, and accrued and unpaid dividends before any payments are made on the common shares. Both preferred and common shares wila have a par value of one hundred dolo lars.
 Provisions will be inserted in the trust deed establishing the new com- pany so that the shareholders will, SO far as practicable, have the same con- troi over it's affairs as in the case of stockholders of corporations; and pro- visions likewise will be inserted SO that the capitalization can be in- creased under proper limitations, for the acquisition of additional property or otherwise
 The basis of exchange proposed is that bondholders shall receive in ex- change for their bonds, with June 1, 1902, and all subsequent coupons att tached, fifty-two per cent at par of the face value in new preferred shares, and fifty-five per cent at par VI thC Ao1C fdAuG III lGW tOhluOA shares.
 The New England Gas and Coke company, or out of cash in their hands, will pay to such of the bonds holders as become parties to the plan of reorganization, interest in cash at the rate of four per cent per annum for one year, upon the amount at par of preferred shares which they are en- titled to receive in exchange for their bonds; will pay all expense of reor- ganizing and will pay to the Massa- chusetts Gas companies the sum oP three million dollars ($3OO0,0O0) in cash to enable the new association Gf it shall be deemed advisable) to ac- quire the outstanding notes payable: to pay for Improvements and additions to the manufacturing plant at Eever- cit and other properties.

HILL AS MOSES.
Sage of WoIfert's Roost Planning
 For Democratic Harmony.

For Democratic Harmony.
 NEW YORK, June 19-Tammany and the Greater New York Democracy are to be brought together at last.
 Former Senator David E. Hill, to whom the party leaders now look for success in the coming state campaign. has arranged for a conference in this city on or about July 1, at which will be represented every local faction of Democracy, including Tammany Hall and the followers of John c. iSheehan, who are already embroiled in a bitter struggle for county control at the Sep tember primaries.
 This will be the first time that Tam many, the Greater New York Democ- racy and the Kings county Democrats will have been brought together, and while the relations of the two former are today more strained than ever with regard to local affairs MT. Hill has de- termined to have them meet on neutral ground to discuss policies and ill order that the party may work as unit for the election of the Democratic state ticket.
 The up state leaders representatives in this city, Elliot Danforth and John A. Mason, secretary of the state com mlttee, have been quietly at work for some time arranging for the confer ence, and in several personal letters written to certain leaders in the war ring local factions Mir. Hill has set forth the necessity of getting together at this time so that some definite plan can be agreed upon by which the cam paign can at once be put in motion.
 Mir. Hill has been recognized by all elements of Democracy throughout the state as the new Moses who it is hoped will lead the party out of the wilder ness this year, and, having assumed that leadership, he has gone about the task in most careful manner.

cITY LOSES ONCE MORE.

Judge Case Denies a Motion to Gfva
 Limited Damages in Sewage Case.
 Judge Case has handed down his decision i'll the motion of the city to appoint committee to assess Yimited damages to the Platts Mill company in the sewage case against the city. Judge Case denies the motion. That is to say, he does not at present see why limited damages should be given for in that case the plaintiffs would have no more remedy, while they claim to be constantly injured by the city's sewage system. This is point gained for the plaintiffs. The decision is contained in half a dozen pages of typewriter matter, but the above is the gist of it.

To CUT soFT COAT.
Too Much Coming Into Anthracite
 Market to Suit Strikers.

Market to Suit Strikers.
 Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 19-Now that the call for a special national conven- ton has been made for July r it is not expected there will be any very important developments in the coal strike situation until that time. It is not unlikely, however. that some of the bituminous districts will take ac- ton similar to that of the Central Pennsylvania district which last night decided to cut down the soft coal pro- duction from that territory one-third. More soft coal is coming into the an thracite market from that section than the labor leaders expected and they will make a special effort to re- duce the output.
 While the leaders around strike headquarters will not talk it is be- lieyed the fixing of the date for July IT was a wise move. It is hoped that during the next month some plan may be devised by which a general strike of coal miners may be avoided. A total suspension of coal mining is practically impossible, because the United Mine Workers organization does not control all the miners in the country. Conditions in the anthracite region remain unchanged. The en- tire coal belt was extremely quiet.
