MITCHELL ON THE MEETING
Thinks National Civic Federation
Will Minimize Possibility
of Strikes.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 23.-President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers Of
America discussed today the meeting Of
the executive committee of the National
Civic federation at New York, from which
he has just returned.
The executive committee was appointed
to consider ways and means of bringing
labor and capital into closer relationship.
The committee adopted a constitution and
bylaws and hereafter will meet once each
year, unless called together by an emer-
gency. President Mitchell firmly believes
that the object for which the committee
was appointed will be achieved and points
to the settling OF the big strike Of gar
ment workers. IN New York recently.sin
which over 10000 persons were out, as
one Of the results already obtained.
The agreement In this strike was reached
entirely through the fundamentally Of
members of the committee, the garment
workers being granted a shorter working
day, from nine to eight hours and a half.
Said President Mitchell: while It will,
Of course, not avert all strikes. 1t will re-
duce them materially and minimize the
possibility OF long-drawn-out struggles in
which vast sums Of money are lost both
to the employers and their men. The COM
mittee will act whenever it is requested to
do 80 and where the opportunity presents
itself will offer its services voluntarily.
II will not attempt to arbitrate differences,
Of course, unless there is a request from
both sides and then only when 1t is agreed
to abide by its decision"

BRYAN ON MANHATTAN CLUB
Says the Democratic Organization
should support the Party Once
More 10 Attest It's Loyalty.

TOLEDO, o., Feb. 23.-William J. Bryan
was in the city a short time tonight. When
asked to give his views on the Manhattan
club meeting in New York last night he re-
piled;
1.-THE Manhattan club will have TO sup
port the democratic ticket at least once
before it will take an active part in the
policy of that party. In the campaign OF
1895 the Manhattan club marched with a
band to the republican headquarters as
evidence of its sympathy with that party in
that campaign"
When asked what he thought OF Henry
Watterson's opinion that the question OF
dealing with trusts would be the principal
plank in the next national democratic plat
form Mr.. Bryan said: at will be inn
possible to write a platform until issues
develop, but it ought not to be a matter
OF doubt that democratic principles will be
applied TO all the issues, and that the
planks will be written by those whose 10y
atty to the party is not under suspicion"
COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 2S.-W. J. Bryan
arrived here tonight and is the guest OF
Colonel James Kilbourne, who was candi-
date for governor on the democratic ticket
last fall. Colonel Kilbourne has arranged
a conference tomorrow afternoon between
Mr.. Bryan and the democratic leaders OF
the state. Mr.. Bryan declined to be in
terviewed tonight concerning the confer
ence. II Is understood, however, that mat
tiers relating to organization and the poll
icy of the party Will be discussed.

PHILIPPINE DAY IN SENATE
Even the Princes Visit IL Not TO
Interfere with Vote ON
TariR Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-In accordance
with the agreement heretofore reached, the
senate will begin voting at 4 o'clock tomor-
row ON the Philippine tariff bill. All the
time of the days session previous to that
hour will be devoted to speeches for and
against the bill, the time to be divided
between the supporters and the opponents
Of the bill.
The opinion has been dvanced that yes
terday's episode between Senators Tillman
and McLaurin might have the effect Of
causing a postponement Of the time for
taking the vote in order to permit those
senator's to speak who have desired to do
so, but there is no probability Of any
change of program. The senate regards a
unanimous consent agreement sacredly and
never allows anything to interfere with it.
According to the present program, Prince
Henry will be a witness of a part Of the
ceremony of tallying the vote on tho first
bill. and he will be allowed to observe IL
either from the floor Of the senate or from
the gallery, as he may prefer. Probably
all OF the members will be presented to
him, but IL is not intended that his pres
ence shall interfere in any way with the
prosecution Of the business of the senate.
The irrigation bill now holds the place
of vantage on the senate calendar, next to
the Philippine bill. and probably will re-
ceive the attention of the senate after the
Philippine bill is out OF the way. There is,
however. some impatience on the part OF
the friends OF the ship subsidy bill over the
present arrangement. and II the irriga-
ton bill should consum a great deal or
time there may be an effort to displace It.
All will depend upon the action OF the re-
publican steering committee.
The bill making appropriations for con-
gress and the different departments OF the
government will be reported to the senate
during the week and probably will be taken
up for action the next day after It is re-
ported.
On Thursday the senate will unite with
the house in the ceremonies in honor OF the
memory OF President Mckinley.

MANILA, Feb. 23.-A force Of native con-

in command to General Maivar, and turned
him over to the military authorities.
Cortez was in fancied security in a suburb
Of Santa Cruz, known as Alipit. and was

Franklin Bell accomplished his Intended
purpose of Kidding this district Of insur-
gents, though for the present the civil COM
mission consider it inadvisable to declare
the provinces in question to be pacined.
T large number of insurgents who have
been driven from Batangas and Lsguna
have Joined the ladrones In the neighbor-
ing province Of Csvite. where the native
constabulsry are bounding them from place
to place. General Trias, the present gov
ernor Of Cavite province, who formerly
bitterly opposed the Americans in that
district, has given proof of his true friend
illness and is using every effort to run down
and capture the Cavite ladronee. He is
sending volunteer Companies of bolomen to
assist the constabulary to suppress dis
order. The natives of Cavite province,
provoked at the continued disorder cre-
ated by the ladrones, are spontaneously
offering themselves In large numbers to
assist the authorities in maintaining the
peace in the province. The civil commits
sion recognizes this attitude to be largely
due TO the influence Of General Trias.
