The Transport Sumner, with
Gen. Chaffee on Board Ar
riyes at San Francisco
ENCOUNTERED A TYPHooN
Gen. chaffee Says Conditions in the
Philippines Are Greatly Improved
and That the Instruction in Most
Parts of the Islands Has Been Conn
pletely Put Down.

San Francisco, Nov. 1.-THE United
States transport Sumner arrived in port
last evening from the Philippines, after
most stormy and most perilous voy-
age. Shortly after leaving Yokohama
the vessel encountered a typhoon. Boats
were smashed, portions of the rigging
carried away, and during the height of
the storm a launch was torn from its
fastenings and struck Mrs. Chaffee's
stateroom with terrific force, the shock
prostrating her. She was i'll when she
boarded the vessel.
On board the transport We're General
Adna r. Chaffee and wife, Vice Cover
nor Wright of the Philippine commits
sion, accompanied by Mrs. Wright; Gem
eral Chaffee's staff, Capt. j. f. Lins-
ley. Lieutenant Roy B. Carper, Major
j. L. Phillips, Major William H. Ar
thur, Judge James II. Blount, of the
Philippine insular government, Lieu
tenant Colonel James T. Kerr and wife
and large number of officers wives
returning home.
General Chaffee has been absent from
this country for over three years. dur
ing which time duty called him to
Cuba to China and the Philippines. To
General Chaffees efforts We're due the
speedy and peaceful settlement of the
Chinese difficulty, and in recognition

but only 500 countrymen, on foot and
on horseback, turned out for the occa-

We're much in evidence. Several WIN

in the procession. The demonstrators
were refused an audience by President
Palma, but presented their petition IN
favor of cock fighting to the senate.
Other petitions in favor of the sport
have been presented to congress from
all parts of the island.

more harmonious condition or az
fairs. The general said to represent
alive of the Associated Press:
when l left Manila everything was
progressing in most satisfactory man
ner. 1 could not be more pleased with
the situation. Civilization has accom-
plished wonders, and the natives are
fast recognizing the institutions of this
government and meeting them with a
more friendly spirit.
"Of course some of the provinces are
unsettled, and we expect to meet with
further trouble, but the outlook is most
cheerful, and, beyond an occasional
skirmish here and there, l look for no
great difficulties or disturbances re-
quiring unusual force to subdue. Peace
full methods are making themselves
telt among the native leaders, who are
in many instances assisting our govern
ment by advising their former belliger-
ent fellows to lay down their arms.
Some of the former fighting sultans
of which there are a score have be-
come peaceful. The greatest difficulty
we experienced In the islands is over
coming the legends and superstitions OF
the people. 1t is hard to overcome at
once traits which have been born in the
natives for centuries, and | Will say
that to this one feature is largely due
the spread of cholera and other pesu-
lential diseases among them They can
not be made to submit to or to under
stand the modern methods of treatment,
nor can they be made to see the utility
of an up to- date sanitary system. They
will not submit to quarantine peaceful
ly and frequently escape from their
bounds, spreading disease. In the city
of Manila a very good system prevails.
and in consequence the health condl-
tions are better there than they have
ever been in the history of the country.
Great hardship prevails in some of
the provinces, where the natives are un-
able to plant theiryrice crops on account
of the loss of their farm animals. and !
look for much suffering in these prov
inces, but the government has already
taken steps to relieve the situation, and
it will not be long before most of the
needy will be looked after.

BALFoUR IN GLOOMY MOOD.
English Premier Not Satisfied With
South African Outlook.

London, Nov. 11.-Speaking at The
annual banquet given by the Lord
Mayor of London this evening, Premier
Balfour referred to the services rem
dered the northern country by rhe
colonies during the South African war,
but he said there was an unanswered
question, which was, Would the peace
which follows be less successful than
the war" He said he looked to South
Africa in hopeful, but not a too SAN
guine spirit, as every source of wealth
there was practically dried up.
The banquet was attended by about
one thousand persons Among those
present We're members of the cabinet
and of the house of commons, foreign
ambassadors. and city dignitaries Pre-
mier Balfour spoke in reply to the toast,
His Majesty's Minister'S" Continue
ing, he said he believed much good
would come of Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's visit to South Africa.
which would be only the first of long
succession of such visits. He said the
time was not ripe for closer constitu-
tional relations between the colonies
and the mother country.
Mr.. Balfour declared that he knew
nothing about the fantastic bargains
invented by the press upon the occasion
OF the visit of "a great and friendly
sovereign to his nearest relatives" EN-
peror William. according to the pre-
mier, had no political motives in COM
ing to see King Edward. Dealing with
the situation in Somaliland Mr.. Balfour
said that waterless wastes and fanatics
were always difficult problems to deal
with, but that the Somaliland question
was not of great Importance in the ma
tional development, except as it brought
into high relief the friendly feelings of
Italy toward Great Britain"
The premier congratulated Lord
Lansdowne upon the commercial treaty
with China and the japanese alliance.
He said he believed that every great
power in Europe was not only desirious
of peace, but firmly resolved that peace
should be maintained. He deprecated
international prejudices of any kind,
especially the anti English feeling on
the continent over the Boer war, as en-
dangering the concert of Europe, which
in the past had been a great instru-
ment of peace, and which is destined to
play an even greater part in the pro-
gress of the civilization of Christendom
than 1t has during the years recently

In the work of entraining the Dukho-
bors were engaged Frank Pedley, SUI
perintendent of immigration, who stood
on the gangway of Ogilvie's elevator,
smoking cigar and surveying the
scene, occasionally shouting few
words of command, such as, Don't
hurt Them "Hustle that fellow along.
See that none escape" ETC.; Messrs.
Speers and Roy, who did yaoman serV-
ice directing the work generally; the
troops of mounted police, With inspect
or Wilson at their head, who did their
duty and worked like Trojans, and the
citizens of Mlnnedosa, of all classes.
Among this portion of the, force were
prominent business men, ministers of
the gospel, doctors, LAWYERS, school
teachers, train men and school boys.
The Dukhobors were all finally load
ed by brute force, and are TO be taken
to their villages in like manner If nee
essary. The local authorities took no
hand in the matter beyond placing the
rink at the disposal of Mr. Speers, tho
the town constabulary, half in uniform
and half in common cloths helped haul
many a Dukhobor to the train.
Several of The townspeoIle refused to
take a hand in the work and stood aside
and laughed and cried shame" as the
incidents presented themselves. They
laughed as 8. prominent business man
went rolling into the snow, pulling his
captive Dukhobor with him, and cried
shame" when they saw poor Dukho-
Dor dragged along the ground by the
muffler, which was tightening around
his neck and making him black in the
face. 1t was a unique and wonderful
sight.
The distance from the rink to where
the coaches were was about 800 yards,
and for about two hours the interview
Ing space was apparently occupied by
a series of st,rimmages similar to those
seen on a Rugby football field. Upon
closer inspection, however the strug-
giles resolved themselves into something
far different
Having entrained the Dukhobors
task which. with all the help that could
well be brought into play, took about
three hours, the mounted police were
set to guard the doors of the coaches
and box cars, and thus the Dukhobors,
against whom no information has le-
gally been laid or complaint lodged,
were removed from one prison to an
other.
The train in which the Dukhobors
were imprisoned left here about
o'clock. 1t was arranged to feed the
wanderers at Shoal Lake. The police
went with them to conduct them from
Yorkton to their villages.
