CIVIL GOVERNMENT.
Dill Perfected in the House for Its
Establishment in Philippines
When War Ends

Washington, April 9. = The house
bill establishing civil government in
the Philippines has been finally per-
fected by the republican members of
the insular committee in it's complete
form, and reintroduced by Chair
man Cooper. The bill is unlike that
of the senate, in that it provides
complete form of civil government
for the islands, to go into effect
when the war terminates. A summary
follows:
Whenever the existing instruction in the
Philippines shall have ceased and a con-
dition of general and complete peace shall
have been established therein. and the
dent by the commission, the president shall
authorize the commission to call a general
election for the choice of delegates to
popular assembly of the people of the Phil
ippine islands, to be known as the Philip
pine assembly.
1t is further provided that all the legsla-
tive power shall then be vested in two
houses-the Philippine commission and the
Philippine assembly. Provision is made
for taking the census within 30 days after
the PRONUNCIATION of peace Thereafter the
islands are to be divided into election dis
Stricts and the regular machinery for
electing the legislature is provided.
Section u provides that all residents of
the Philippines shall have the same pro-
lection from the United States in their re-
lations to foreign governments a is accord
ed to citizens of the United States.

army as a private, though he was opposed
to slavery. After SHORT service in the
ranks he raised the Hampton legion"
which he commanded throughout the war.
He distinguished himself at Bull Run, was
severely wounded at Seven Pines during
a most brilliantly conducted battle, and
for gallantry on that occasion was raised
to the rank of brigadler general. For
bravery at Gettysburg he was made major
general, and for saving Ly.nchburg from
Sheridan in 1864 he was made lieutenant
general and assigned to the command of
Lees cavalry. AT the close of the war Gen.
Hampton was one of the first of the south
erners to submit to the inevitable. and adj
vised generous policy of reconstruction.
He was elected governor of South Carolina
in 1876. Two years later he was elected
to the United States senate, where he
served until 1891 President Cleveland APP
pointed him United States railroad commits
sioner He retired in 1897 at the age of 10
wears.

Hampton was born in South Carolina in

South Carolina studied law, but spent the
leisure of his life on an ancestral planta-

was elected to the state legislature, but his
outspoken antagonism of the slave trade
gave him an unpopularity that soon caused
his retirement. His earlier life was spent
in raising cotton and sugar and in hunt

ACCEPT TERMS Of PEACE
A Dispatch from Pretoria Says tie
Boer Leaders Have Yielded
to the British.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR AN END OF WAR.
cessIOns, But the Terms Are Be-
lieved to BE decentralization
Declares in the House That the
Report Is UnfOunded.

London, April l1.-Peace IN South
Africa is reported an accomplished
fact. According to dispatch from
Pretoria the Boer leaders have accept
ed the British terms. The details of
the settlement are not yet known, but
they are said to have been cabled to
Boer agents in Europe and this city is
eagerly awaiting an official announce
ment on the subject.
Report Is Positive.
The report first came in the form of
a cable dispatch which was published
in the Financier and Bullionist. This
declared positively that the burgher
leaders had yielded and that perman-
ent cessation of hostilities had been
arranged. Following this quickly
other reports of similar tenor were
spread about London, and they gained
credence from the fact that good news
from South Africa seemed to have
reached several distinct quarters.
Faith in Good News
Belief in the accuracy of the infor-
nation was strengthened, however,
when it was announced that the Cen
trail News had been informed that a
telegram had been received in London
stating that Mr.. Steyn and Gems.
Botha and DeWet, who, with Acting
President Shalk-Burger and Gen.
Meyer, have been celebrating at
Klerksdorp, had agreed upon terms of
peace, and indicating that the British
plan of settlement had been accept
ed, this action carrying with it an end
of hostilities.
Terms Reasonable.
The fght-toa-fnish attitude has
been abandoned in favor of reasonable
terms, if these are rendered at all pos
sible by the Beers themselves. The
five chief points, according to the
Mail, on which any negotiations will
turn are the approximate time which
will elapse before the restoration of a
responsible government, the status OF
the Beers after the war, the Danish.
ment proclamation, the question OF
amnesty and advances by the British
government for rebuilding and re.
stocking Boer farms.
Cause of the War.
The war in South Africa was brought
| about directly by the refusal of the
| Transvaal government to allow the
foreign element of the population te
have a voice in public affairs, and {
| like refusal to continue in force Ger
tain railway and other public utilit,
franchises, controlled mostly by Brit
ish subjects. But the indirect caust
was elimination of unsatisfactory
