From the reports of severe fighting in
Jolo, where Gen. Leonard Woods troops
have killed three hundred insurgent Moros,
it is evident that the Sultan of that island
is in revolt General Wood appears to have
been successful in crushing the insurrection
at it's outset, he reports that there is no
likelihood of its spread.
The Island of Jolo. or Sulu, had been un-
der Spanish rule previous to the American
occupation only since 1876. There are about
1900 native inhabitants, who have the rep
utation of being fierce and fanatical in the
extreme 1t was a surprise to both Span
iards and Americans, therefore, that the
subjects of the quasi-Sultan should prove
as tractable as they have heretofore. I'm
der the able management of General Bates
an excellent colonial government was es-
tablished almost at once and greater de-
gree of autonomy was allowed than in other
parts of the Philippine archipelago. With
band of semi-civilized people, whose only
enlightenment comes from a fanatic Mo-
hammedanism, such a state of affairs be-
came more surprising the longer it lasted.
Such people have no understanding of
Western civilization and no desire for it.
Absolute despotism is the only sort of gov
eminent that appeals to their comprehen-
sion. 1t is more than likely that the upris-
ing which eliminated in the five days fight
ing of last week was brought on by the at
tempted reforms of the Philippine commits
sion. The commission was taking steps to-
ward the establishment of system of civil
government. Under this the savage Meros
foresaw the downfall of slavery-to then,
an invaluable institution. Three thousand
warriors took the field, and it is this force
which General Wood has practically an
initiated.
A force of two thousand Moros is said to
be intrenched in the mountains back OF
Tiblibi Against these General Wood start
ed an expedition five days ago, and no news
has since been received. His complete sue
cess in the first attack presages a speedy
pacification of the entire insurgent force.

Some months ago IL was announced with
q great flourish OF trumpets that a daily
newspaper for women. to be started an6
managed by women. was to be established
in New York cay. A similar undertaking
was on foot in Chicago about the same
time. and was only being delayed by the
desire OF the projectors to complete" a
fund OF 100000 before beginning publica
ton. Now comes the information that the
New York scheme has been abandoned.
Canvassers had been sent out TO obtain SUBJ
scribers in advance, and but thirty-fve
women had been found out OF all the fe-
male population OF New York who were
sufficiently anxious TO have newspaper
OF exclusively feminine interest TO write
down their names and pay s. each. 1t
seemed that after ali there was no burn
ing demand for such paper. and until

A BILL TO PUNISH LYNCHING.

Representative Crumpacker, or THIS
State. has introduced a bill which, if 1t
shall become a law, will have the double
merit of aiding to abolish lynching and of
helping the United States out Of an embar-
RAISING situation in connection with the
lynching of aliens. The bill makes special
provision for the prosecution and punish
ment of members of mobs that lynch for
eigners. There have been two or three
cases of this kind in which foreign govern
ments have demanded reparation and dam
ages from the United States. only to be in
formed that, under the Constitution, the
general government is not responsible for
the acts of local mobs, and has no power
to punish them. 1t is hard for foreign gov
ernments to understand this situation and
difficult for this government to explain 1t.
The most notable instance of the kind re-
ferred to was the killing of some Italian
subjects in New Orleans in March, 1891.
which was followed by demand of the
Italian government for the punishment Of
the offenders, and for an indemnity. Our
treaty with Italy gave Italian subjects in
this country certain rights. yet when the
demand was made that murderers Of Ital-
ians be punished the government had to
admit that it was powerless. President
Harrison referred to the matter In his next
annual message and said, 1T would, 1 be-
lieve. be entirely competent for Congress
to make ofrenses against the treaty rights
of foreigners domicied In the United States
cognizabie in the federal courts
Mr.. Crumpacker's bill proposes to do just
what President Harrison suggested. 1t pro-
vides that when three or more persons,
openly acting in concert unlawfully put to
death q citizen or subject of any foreign
state or sovereign. they shall be liable to
death or Imprisonment for life, and their
trial shall be in the United States court.
His bill provides, also, that no person
known to favor the crime of lynching shall
be allowed to sit on juries trying such
cases.
The only objection that could lie against
such law would be that by making the
cases cognizable in the United States court
| it would give aliens a higher degree of pro-
| lection against lync,ling than it gives our
own citizens, but it is not a higher degree
| Of protection than they are entitled to I'M
| der our treaties with foreign countries. Mr..
| Crumpacker's bill ought to become law.

The United States Geological Survey is to
order another investigation to determine
the best means OF purifying Indiana
streams polluted with the refuse of the
strawboard factories. The question has in
recent years become one OF extreme i'm
portance. and it is to be hoped that prac-
deal solution may soon be reached. Tens of
thousands OF fish are being killed by this
refuse. and both refuse and fish cast up on
the banks become a menace to health. The
manufacturers will be slow to adopt an
expensive method of disposing OF this waste
unless some means shall be found Of utiliz-
ing a part of what now is lost
