BURT HAS A PLAN
High Retired Army Officer Who Has
Been to Philippines Would Sci! the
Islands to japan,

San Francisco June 23.-General A.
S. Burt, retired. who has recently ar
rived from the Philippines, has plan
for the solution of the Philippine prob
lem. He believes he has arrived at a
conclusion that will ultimately be ac-
cepted by the administration and the
country at large as the only solution.
Turn them over to the japanese" said
the general. Let Japan have them on
the installment plan for a considera-
ton, say of $3.50, 100000. Our govern
ment does not need the money in a
lump sum. and by making a PROPOSE
ton of that kind we can dictate as to
coaling stations and make such re-
serves as are thought to be the best
for trade interests. An arrangement of
that kind can be effected that will give
the United States as broad road into
the markets of the orient as if we re-
tanned the islands, besides we will be
making strong allies of two nations
that will represent our interests on that
side of the globe without the necessity
of the presence of a large army at an
enormous cost.

ti0n of Senators Before the

Believes 1t Would Be Serious
Blow to the Republican
Government.
Would Centralize Power to an
Z farming Extent...News Of
the Day.

New Haven, Conn, June 23.-Com-
mencement exercises of Yale Universe
ty began today, with the class day cer-
emonies of the academic and Sheffield
scientific departments and anniversary
exercises of the law school. The exer-
cises were attended by large crowds.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge delivered
the address to the graduating class of
the law school.
After sketching briefly the early ca
reer and training of Oliver Ellsworth
and his selection as a delegate from
Connecticut to the Philadelphia con-
vention in 1887. Lodge referred to the
problems which faced the convention
and continued: "Now exactly what was
it that Ellsworth did? He won his vic
tory for equality of state representa-
ton in one branch of congress- but did
far more even than this, for he saved
the constitution itself and made it pos
sible. Just now there is movement
to bring about the election of senator's
by direct popular vote. If successful, it
will inevitably be followed by propor-
III the senate, and
the most radical revolution conceivable
will take place in our form of govern
ment. We alone among nations pos
sessing representative governments
have solved the problem of the upper
house resting upon an independent ba-
sis, effective in legislation. If the SEN
ate is placed upon the some basis as
the house, and is chosen in the same
way, by the same constituency, it's
character and meaning depart, and the
states will be hopelessly weakened, the
balance of the constitution will be de-
stroyed, Capitalization will advance
with giant strides, and we shall enter
upon period of constitutional revolu-
ton of which the end can not be fore
told. When we contemplate what
of<the state senate meant at
the time of the Philadelphia conven-
ton, what it has meant thruout our
life, and what its overthrow
would mean today, we realize the great
service of Ellsworth and how large and
place he holds in our his
tory"

AS far as known none of the COM

engines and pumps from continuing
work. Very few, however, are joining

that town is now safe, and that the

fear is apprehended there.

was saved, but the outbuildings and
most of the logging outfit were con-
sumed. The loss will be about $4,000.

Reopened This Morning.

with the decision of the mill owners all

cavalry are on duty at the mills today.
At meeting of the striking dyers
and helpers today the executive COM

strike on the best terms that could be

ence with the employers. Heretofore
the men have insisted that their de-
mands be complied with to the letter

Mitchell Issues Statement.

Wilkesbarre Pa, June 23.-John Nit
chell, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, today issued a fin
al appeal to the people, pleading for
arbitration in the anthracite coal strike
and answering arguments used by the
presidents of the anthracite coal rail-
roads in their recent statement.
Mr. Mitchell urges settlement of the
strike before the Indianapolis conven-
ton meets. declaring that the situa-
ton is grave and arbitration now is
warranted by the danger of a general
strike of all coal miners in the United
States in support of the anthracite
workers.
He says every possible means was re-
sorted to in the effort to prevent the
strike, claims that the cost of living has
increased to the point where the miner
was compelled to ask for higher wages
denies the allegations of the operators
that the productive capacity of the
mine workers has fallen off and quotes
official figures to substantiate the con-
tention that the employers can pay
higher wages without increasing the
cost of coal to the consumer.
The address also says that in the
event the union is crushed a new or
ganizatfon would rise from it's ruins 1t
declares the object of the operators is
to destroy the union.
