GRAND STAND FALLS.
Terrible Disaster at Football Game
at Glasgow, Scotland-Over
Score Killed.

Glasgow, April z. = The casualty
list of the Ibrox park disaster, when
a number of persons were killed or
injured by the collapsing of a spec
tators' stand during the international
football match Saturday afternoon
between England and Scotland, have
been completed. They eclipse all
earlier reports and estimates of the
casualties. The disaster has result
ed in the death of u persons and the
injury of $50. Nearly 200 of the lat
ter were so seriously hurt that they
were taken to infirmaries for opera
lions and treatment. One hundred
and fifty of them still remain in the
infir1naries. A large proportion of
the injured had limbs broken, bodies
crushed and mangled and heads and
faces gashed. Several more deaths
will undoubtedly result from the
most critical cases of fractured
skulls.
The disaster was caused by the col
lapse of 100 feet of one of the spec
tators' stands, precipitating thou
sands of persons to the ground 60
feet below.

CIVIL GOVERNMENT.
Bill Perfected In the House for It's
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 a
complete form of civil government
for the islands, to go into effect
when the war terminates. A summary
follows:
Whenever the existing insurrection in the
philippines shall have ceased and a con-
ditlon of general and complete peace shall
have been established therein, and the
facts shall have been certified to the presi-
dent by the commission, the president shall
authorize the commission to call general
election for the choice of delegates to a
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 legisla-
tive power shall then be vested in two
houses-the Philippine commission and the
Philippine assembly. Provision is made
for taking the census within 80 days after
the PRONUNCIATION of peace Thereafter the
Islands are to be divided into election dis
tricts, and the regular machinery for
electlng the legislature is provided.
Section II provides that all residents of
the Philippines shall have the same pro-
lection from the United States in their re-
lations to foreign governments as is accord
ed to citizens of the United States.
For the purchase of the friar lands the
bill makes provision for the Issuance of
insular bonds at five per cent. interest,
payable in gold, the total amount not be-
ing specified. The regulation of franchises,
timber lands. mineral lands, etc., is pro-
vided for The system of coinage differs
from that in the senate bill, as it makes
gold the standard, with Philippine token
money of silver maintained at a parity
with gold The peso is to be of silver It
will equal our silver dollar in size and be
worth half as much

PAPER MILL MEN OUT.
A Big Strike In the Wisconsin Manu-
featuring District IL In
augurated.

Appleton, Wis, April THE big
strike in the Wisconsin paper manu-
featuring district for shorter hours,
which has been pending for four
months, materialized at six o'clock
Saturday night, when the day crews
at eight paper mills finished their
days labor and the night crews failed
to report for work. The mills where
the strike was inaugurated are two
at Kaukauna, two at Marinette, two
at Grand Rapids, one at Nekoosa and
one at Port Edwards. In all about 500
men struck. The employers express
confidence that the places of the strik-
ers can be filled by nonunion men.
Besides the eight mill which struck
Saturday night there are six other
mills in Wisconsin where the strike has
been going on for from six to 10 weeks,
so that the strike now affects IA mills.
The number of employees engaged in
the strike is about 1900, one-third of
whom are girls employed in the finish
ing rooms. Of the men, probably 300
are married and have families, making
the number of persons directly affect
ed by loss of wages in the neighbor-
hood of 1000. The IA mills affected
represent capital of S3,5Oo,o0o to
$4,ooo,ooo. The daily output is about
800 tons of paper, of which 265 tons
is news, so tons book and writing, 80
tons manila and low grades and IS
tons tissue and sundries. Their week
ly pay roll will run in the neighbor-
hood of $15O,OOO.

LIKES THE ISLANDS.
Gen. Macarthur Says the Philippines
Occupy n Position That Cam
not Be ExceIled

Washington, April 9. ~ Gen. Mac
Arthur continued his testimony
Tuesday concerning conditions in
the Philippine archipelago before the
senate committee on the Philippines.
HIS discussion at the beginning of
the session was devoted to a review
OF the conditions which led to the
present state of mind of the Philip
pine people. He said that long be-
fore the advent of the Americans the
germs of democracy had been plant
ed, and that these had originated in
the agitations in Spain of a century
ago, which had been reflected in the
Spanish colonies. He also described
conditions in the archipelago at the
time of the American occupation.
saying that at that time the Fill
plnos were in a vindictive and re-
sentful mood toward Spain, with a
general yearning for liberty.
Taking these. psychological condi-
lions into account and also giving
due heed to the character of the
people, he had felt when he assumed
command of the islands that there
was to be found the most fertile soil
for the planting of the best type
of republican institutions.
Gen. Macarthur then took I'D and
discussed economic conditions in the
archipelago, saying the Philippines
were the best islands in the world,
occupying strategic position alb
solutely unexcelled.
During the testimony the general
said that the Filipinos had an ideal of
personal liberty and were by no means
an inferior race.
Replying to questions by Senator
Carmack, he said that the Filipinos
like our American ideas of personal
liberty as embodied in our institu-
tions. This" he said, REALIZES an
ideal of their own
Then they have an ideal?" inter-
jected Senator Carmack. The reply
was: They have-most decidedly"
You do not then regard them as
"a miserable. corrupt, cruel and de-
graded racer"
BY no means. Such view is to
my mind a mistaken view
The committee adjourned until
Thursday

honor at banquet given by the

After the first three or four months of

methods of fighting and began guerrilla
warfare or sort unparalleled in history
They killed directly or by torture nearly
1000 of their own countrymen during the
years 1900 and 1901, because they would not
contribute money to support the insurgent
cause.
II know of nearly 400 cases in my own dis
trict In which natives were burned alive
and many of these were women and chill
dren.
"They committed inconceivable atrocities
on American soldiers who fell into their
hands. had the pleasure of capturing and
hanging some fiends guilty of this.

of self-government to-day and 1 do not
think the next generation of the race will
