REPORTS ON CIVIL AFFAIRS
Statements Of Administration for
Philippines Onered BY Majority
and Minority.

WASHINGTON. April h-The report Of
the house ommitte on insular affairs on
the bill for the administration OF civil ar
fairs in the Philippines was filed today by
Chairman Cooper.
IL says now is an opportune time 10 make
a definite promise TO the Filipinos that they
shall have a share in the central govern
ment OF the island. a. 10 the slavery the
report says:
"Tbe problem presented Is one not to be
solved by eloquent denunciation Of the sys-
tenn Of slavery nor by mere defamation
concerning the blessings Of liberty. It's
proper solution demands tactful methods
which shall be at the same time Just and
practicable"
The report deyotes much attention TO the
advantages Of the proposed coinage sys-
TEN based Oh the gold standard. which diff
fers from the silver system proposed by
the senate bill.
The continuance n the silver standard
In any form which does not raise the coin
TO a fixed parity with gold is pointed out to
be subjected to the same objections now
made by the business community OF Ma
Mia against the existing system.
The democrats fled a minority report,
which amounts to a declaration Of policy
on the Philippines. IL says in part:
The chief question involved is whether
under the gutse OF the forms OF civil gov
eminent a policy unjust and cruel TO the
people Of the Philippine ISLANDS and in
furious and hishonoring to American citi-
zenship shall be indefinitely, II not per-
petually. continued, or there shall be sub
s~tituted In it's stead a more righteous and
humane policy, the Intent and purpose OF
which is To confer upon these people
within the shortest practicable period and
upon reasonable and proper terms an
autonomous system Of free self-govern-
ment based upon the principle of inde-
pendence, which, after the lapse of a rea-
sonable period to afford training and eX-
perience, shall eventually lapse into an un-
quHllhed and absolute indopendence.

CHILLING" BY THE co.

The greatest prairie land "6lling..
known to railroads in the West is unde,
way on the Chicago. Burlington and
Quincy Railroad at a point known as
Sugar Creek" near Ottumwa, Iowa. A
valley seventy-one feet deep, between the
crests of two hills 1900 feet apart, il
being filled up. The work will require
32S,OOO cubic yards of grading and will
not be finished for a year, although begun
in June last. AT the top of one of the
hills three steam shovels dump clay in
the cars, which a dummy engine pushes
out upon the high, portable iron bridge,
where they deposit their loads into the
valley. Z With n end supported upon tile
hill and the other upon trestle work the
bridge is moved along as the work ad.
vances. When the grading is completed
it will be 275 feet wide at the base. To
provide for the spring food waters which
rush along "Sugar Creek two thirty-fvc-
foot arches have been constructed. Ono
hundred and fifty men were employed in
their construction. Besides the stone the
arch work contains 100000 bricks.

KANSAS LATEST PLAGUE.
Prairie Dogs Render Useless 100000
Acres of Land.

ffa1r1e dogs Nenuer useless 1,OOu,OOO
Acres of Land.
Worse by far than the terrible plague
of grasshoppers of 1885 is that of the
prairie dogs from which Kansas is now
suffering. These active little creatures
have captured 100000 acres of choice
farming land, turning 1t into a vast area
Of sand hills and mounds, under which
they make their homes.
Kansas offers So, 600 reward to any one
who will successfully cope with the pest.
Hundreds have tried, but none have sue
ceeded, and the number of little AMI
mails is increasing.
An official report recently issued shows
that 1,224,S54 acres have been ruined
entirely by the prairie dog. There are
dog towns in some of the western Kansas
counties covering 100000 acres. wherein
no less than 100000 dogs may be found.
The report also states that 1,4O0 blanks
were sent out, and $50 replies tabulated.
These show that 6S of the 1O5 counties in
Kansas are afflicted with the pest. In
range have been taken away, because
they refuse to eat the grass where the
dogs have run. In Logan County cattle
men are pasturing but half the number
they did last year, because neither cattle.
horses nor sheep will eat grass after Il
prairie dog has nibbled at 1t.
At the last session of the State legis-
lature $4,000 vas appropriated to he used
in Kidding the infected sections of dogs.
In each township one man was appointed
to buy and distribute poison above the
holes. These men, 500 in number, have
been buying poison and distributing it
ever since-eleven months now-and the
dogs are more numerous than ever, they
being too cunning to eat the arsenic
which has been placed on tempting bits
of grass and laid in their paths.
