Presideot Schurman of the Philip
piQe Commission Says End
of Wqr Is In Sight.
He Advances Strong fJrgurrjent to
Support Mis Belief Ship

llha.ia, N. Y.
lluh.n undoubtedly made a deep
impression upon the ollicials of tho
administration by his statements rel
ative to niTairs in tho Philippines.
His optimistic views have convinced
some of the leading ofllcials, at least,
that the end of the war in the Philip
pines is in bight.
One of tho arguments which ho used
to support this belief was a chart of
the Philippine group. On this tho
various races populating the islands
were graphically set out in colors.
The significant feature is the small
.showing made by the Tagals.
Not only does tho chart show that
this tribo forms but a small portion of
the total population of the Philip
pines, but it appears that the Tagals
in inoiin ection against tho United
Stale-' eont-tituto only a portion of the
tribe and that whole provinces in
Luzon, notably at tho northern ex
tremity of tho island, are either
friendly to tho United States or at
least neutral.

ICirly Forwiird Movement.
Washington', Sept. 7 The acti
vity of the War department officials
and the close figuring that is being
done in regard to the available force
in the Philippines indicates an early
movement. It has been known that a
forward movement was contemplated
in November, but there are now indi
cations that the campaign may begin
at leat a month earlier if there
should bo favorable weather condi
tions. l?y October 1 General Otis will have
an army of 31,000 effective fighting
men. With the arrival at Manila of
the other troops now being raised it is
.suggested there may be formed an
other corps for the p irpoe of pursu
ing tho Filipinos in some other part
of the island of Luzon. In this con
nection it is known that many officers
look with favor upon the suggestion
that an aitnv should be landed at
Lingayen and move down tho Dagu
pan railway, thus taking the army of
AguinalJo in the rear. This will
necessitate the co-operation of the
navy and the otlicials of the navy de
partment have consulted with the war
deoartment as to what can be done to
advantHge in this direction. The
navv r.as ff.-red to send a squadron
to Lingayen bay, subdue the town and
occupy it. thus mnKing sufe landing

Dknvkk, Colo. , Sept. 6. The city
fathers from the mouth of the Kaw ar
rived in Denver this morning. It is a
thorough stag affair, and the law
makers of the city of packing plants
tell many tales of what happened on
the trip across the prairies The
democrats of the parly are greatly in
the minority, numbering only three.
The rest of the part is composed of
enthusiastic shouters "for McKinley
and the republican party. They go so
far as to s:iy that if Bryan is re-nom-in
ted, even Missouri will go repub
lican. "Bryan and 16 to 1 are absolutely
dead in our part of the land,'r said
William Clough, who cares for the
polities of the upper house of the Kan
sas City council. "The great pros
perity of the country has killed that
cause and you positively hear nothing
about it where we live, the people are
so busy talKing prosperity. I know
thirty traveling men who a year ago
were Bryan men and doing all in their
power to spread his doctrine and every
one of them has come over. They are
in touch with th? country, travel
throutrh it and know how the people
feel on tnese questions and they are
convinced that while the country is
prosperous it is better to keep it that
way.
'They don't want changes and in
fact fight against them. The predic
tions of Bryan regarding a continua
tion of business depression"haTe not
proven true. The country is in a bet

Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 7. The
Journal tomorrow will state that
within a few weeks past upwards of
$90,000 has been taken from five live
stock commission lirms of Kansas City
by a band of swindlers, tteven men and
two women, who have operated from
various poiuts In Iowa. Nebraska
Kansa? and Missouri.
The swindiera secured their first
money when a man appeared here
from Iowa, stttin th.t he hid a herd
of 1.8U0 feeder's in low ., but had not
money enough to get the cattln In
shape for the market. The commin
sion firm to which he appealed f r
financial assistance sent a man to
Iowa, Inspected the herd and loaned
the man 85,000, taking a first mort
gage. A few diys lqtcr a woman in widow's
weeds appea cd at tho olll es of an
other commission firm and secured a
similar amount on similar representa
tions. The herd of feeders was rapidly
moved through several counties in
Kansas and finally into Missouri and
repeatedly mortgaged and it is stated
that one commission firm was caught
twice on the same bunch of cattle.
The Journal withholds the names of
the commission firms. There have
been no arrests.
THE REBELS RUN AWAY AGAIN.
.SklruilHh With Filipinos IUhuUh In Suc
cess of Scouting: Party.
Manila, Sept. 7. 5:35 p. m. Cap
tain Butler, with three companies of
tho Third infantry, a detachment of
cavalry and ono gun, while upon a re
connaissance, met a body of rebels
yesterday at San Rafael. The Ameri
cans scattered the enemy and cap
tured seven prisoners, five rifles and
300 rounds of ammunition.
They also destroyed the rice stored
in seven warehouses.
Tho rebels are supposed to belong to
tho command of General Pio Del
Pilar, who with his main force re
treated to the north.
The reconnaissance will be con
tinued, following . the rebels toward
Maasin.
Tho .United States transport New
port will convey to the United States
the eighteenth and last company of
tho signal corps volunteers, the Ne
vada cavalry and various discharged
soldiers.
10:50 a. m. Small detachments of
Filipinos make demonstrations nightly
around Imus, firing volleys upon the
American outposts. The Americans
have thus far not replied except on
Thursday night, when two companies
of the Fourth infantry 6allied out and
fired two volleys in the direction of
tho disturbers, who disappeared imme
diately. The secret service has
learned that Aguinaldo has preferred
charges against the general command
ing the Cavite province for failing to
obey an order to attack Imus.
The Americans treat the Filipino.,
more like f f actious children than ene
mies. Proofs have been obtained that
the mayor and five members of the
council are active insurgent wyoapa
thizers and many insurgent soldiers
are visiting the town in disguise.
There is no desire to stop them, how
ever, as it is thought a display of the
American rt sources and the efforts to
give the Filipinos a good government
will have a beneficial effect.
GRUESOME ALASKA STORIES.

Who Hag Just Returned.
Seattle, Wash., Sept. 6. Otto
Thews of Primrose, la., who has ar
rived here from Copper River, Alaska,
brings news confirming .be reported
de .th of seven members of the Scien
tific Prospecting company of New
York.
The dead are: Earhardt, Miller, Al
derman, i-chutz, Peter Siegel, Butber
and Baumgartner.
George Hooker, another member of
the party, got out alive, but is badly
crippled with scurvy, which carried
away the majority of his companions.
Baumgartner went out hunting and
was never seen again.
The most affecting case was that of
Butner, who was driven insane by his
sufferings. His weak companions had
to strap him down, but even they
could not restrain him. One morning
Thews, whose cimp was near, found
Butner silting out in the snow with
his clothes and hat off, the thermom
eter being 45 degrees below zero.
He was taken inside, but he died a
few hours later.
Thews also brings a gruesome story
in connection with the finding of the
remains of a jeweler named Smith,
who perished last November on Val
d z glacier. Every exposed portion
of the body had been eaten away by
ravens. The remains were identified
to be those of Smith by the clothing
and effects found with them. 'A
purse containing $250 was among the
effects. A prospector named Austed,
a partner of Smith, said a money belt
which contained a sum of money was
missing.
Thews said he had a close call cross
ing the glacer. He fell into a crevasse
1,000 feet from the top, but the pack
on his back caught him and held him
until his companions could come to
his rescue.

It is said that a special agent
of the Indian c fflce has investigated
the school and has discovered that
Davis has been guilty of gross neglect
and carelessness in the matter of con
ducting tho business of tho school;
that he has appropriated fuel and food
to his own use and that he caused uni

aro outsiders. His methods are said
to be culpably lax and th 3 building
and grounds are dilapidated and neg

drinking, gambling, card p ayinr and
Sabbath breaking prevail among the
pupils and employes and that Davis
admitted his shortcomings to the
agent. His immediate removal is
recommended. The Indian ottlce ofll

IVIcKluley Uivch I'moii Card
Chicago, Sept. 6. President Mc
Kinley is now a trades union man. He
was todaj' elected a member of the
Bricklayers and Stonemasons' Inter
national union No. 21 of Chicago.
President Gubbins of the union said
today that since the chief executive
was to lay the corner stone of the new
postoffice it was necessary that the
president join the union before he is
allowed to handle a. trowel in Cook
countv. It was first intended to make
out the president's card September 1,
but as this would have necessitated
his presence in the parade on Labor
d iy or tho p.iymut of $2 fin- for be
ing absent it was decided to delay the
matter.
A card of honorary membership was
made out for the president today, but
it will not be forwarded to him till
the matter has been further discussed .
"We will have to .take the card
away from him," said Secretary Starn
today, "if Mr. McKinley sets a stone
prepared by non-union labor, which
the stone intended for the corner of
the new ppstotlice is. He would be do
prived of all the benefits of the union
and we us a national organization will
strike on any building- in any part of
the United Slates at which he lays a
cornerstone or does any construction
work." -
OYSTER FISHING IN FUTURE.
Submarine Tioata Will Make the Hi valve
SI ore Accessible.
The submarine boat will revolution
ize the ojster industry. When in Ches
apeake bay cruising the old Argonaut
frequently settled down on oyster beds
and, with the permission of the owners,
procured all the oysters desired by
reaching down through the ssa door.
The new Argonaut can employ this
method of gathering oysters, rising u
the surface when her diving-room is
full, or send out divers, who eai piuoe
the osiers collected in bucket-, r re
cep .cies, which those on the s i.f.ic
can haul up. When bays and rivrs
are frozen over and oystermen cannot
ply their trt-de the Argonaut can go
under the ice. Fishing can also he
carried on easily on the bottom with
nets, for the fish have no fear cf the
object they evidently consider a whale,
and swim from every direction toward
the glare of the electric lights shining
through the port3. Sponge fishing will
engage the attention of the first suc
cessful submarine voyagers. .. Good
sponges are becoming dearer, for the
supply in shallow water is running
short. The divers cannot go deeper
than twenty-five feet, and the best
sponges are found in deep water. To
this deep water the Argonaut will go
and, gathering the finest sponges, put
them on the market at a price no great
er than that paid for the common va
rieties. She will also try pearl fishing,
now conducted at an enormous expense
of life, for by a strange freak of na
ture pearl oysters are generally found
in localities where bad weather pre
vails and hurricanes and typhoons are
frequent. These the Argonaut, under
the water, need not fear, and her div
ers, insead of gathering up the oysters
by the single handful, can gather them
bv the bus-hel. Lippincott'S.

A CARBONIC ACID MOTOR.
It Peculiar Advantages for Vse In Au
tomobiles. The latest novelty in automobiles is
one propelled by carbonic acid, the in
vention of C. D. P. Gibson of Jersey
City. Describing the model now in op
eration: Inside the box, toward tho
rear, is an engine weighing only thirty-six
pounds, and having cylinders
whose diameter is one and seven
eighlhs, with a four-inch stroke. On
either side of it, and reaching length
wise in the box, are arranged fla:?l;s, or
"cartridges." of liquid carbonic acid,
coupled to each other and to a slender
tube that feeds the engine. ?y means
which Mr. Gibson does not yet describe,
the fluid is valorized and expanded in
the cylinders. A working pressure of
! from 1,000 pounds upward is thus made
available. The crank transmits its mo-
l firm hv RrrrwVet nnil rVinin In t'it rrar
axle of the wagon without any inter
mediate shaft or gear. The sprocket on
the crank shaft has r.kie teeth, and that
on the wagon axia (a sixteen-ineh
sprocket) has twenty-nine. The driv
ers are thirty-eight-inch wheels. With
the simple mechanism here described
Mr. Gibson is able to run his wagon up
the most astonishing grades. He
climbs those appalling hill? for which
New Jersey is famous, and believes he
can go where no gasoline motor can
follow. He takes his wagon through
deep, dry sand, too, where it would be
almost impossible to take any other
self-propelled carriage. Without the
carbonic acid flasks and engine the
carriage which he showed to a report
er the other day would weigh nearly
400 pounds. The flasks, contents and
engine added about 400 pounds more.
Some 500 or 600 pounds of human
freight have been put into the wagon
on occasions. A total load that is
scarcely less than 1,400 pounds has
thus been, moved up hill and down with
the utmost ease. New York Tribune.

OIL USED AS FUEL ON SHIPS.
Russian, Italian and German Navies Ex
perimenting wltli It.
The enormous annual draw on our
coal supply- is already somewhat les
sened by the use of liquid fuel, al
though the actual effect is, of course,
inappreciable. Sir Marcus Samuel, in
a recent paper before the Society of
Arts, gave an interesting account of
the present position of 'iquid fuel in
our own and foreign countries. In
England oil as fuel is in use on the
Great Eastern railway, and we believe
the results have proved satisfactory.
It has also been found more or less
in use in the Russian, German and
Italian navies and one or two foreign
railway. We are told that when the
old fields of Dutch Borneo were first
opened up the oil was not allowed ;o
be carried in bulk through the Sur.z
! canal, a-nd there was not a single port
'at which obstacles were nor :Iued in

Hornets as Murderers.
Canadian hornets will tackle almost
anything that flies in their quest for
food. In illustration an Ontario gar
dener tell3 of a singular observation he
made recently in his gardens. He found
a nightingale nest in one of the hedges
and watched it daily until four young
byds were hatched out. A day later
he was driven away from thj nest by
a swarm of hornets, which hovered
about it, and finally settled upon it
like a solid cover of black and gold.
Presently the hornets arose and disap
peared suddenly as they had come.
The gardener found the four little
nightingales dead, their poor bodies
being masses of ugly stings.
