WASHINGTON. Oct. 26. The resolutions
adopted at n mass meeting bold In Carneslo
hall. New York , October 11 , urging the presi
dent to offer the friendly services ot the
United States In mediation between Great
Britain nnd the TranBvanl and Orange Free
State republics , were presented to the presi
dent this afternoon by n delegation from
New York , headed by Tunis G. Bcrgln ,
president of tbo Holland society.
Others of the delegation were : Alfred H.
1/ovo of Philadelphia , president of the Uni
versal Peace union ; Uev. Dr. Evart Van
Slyko of Hrookljn , J. V. L. Pruyn ot Al
bany , Rev. Dr. Farrar , Fred W. Hlnrlchs
and Samuel Rowland of Brooklyn , James
O. Whltoloy ot Baltimore nnd William
Vanbenthnyson of New York. Mr. Bergln ,
In his address presenting the petition to the
president , said the delegation had no desire
to embanass the friendly relations between
the United States and Great Britain. On
the contrary. It was because ot that friend
liness and good understanding that they
presented the petition to tne president In
the hope that , In the wise nnd good dis
cretion of the executive , a way might be
found to offer tbe timely offices or the gov
ernment of the United States In nn en
deavor to allay the bloody conflict now
going on In Africa. This would be In line
with the now diplomacy enunciated at The
Hague peace conference. The hope was ex
pressed that honorable terms ot peace might
be secured , the honor of both parties bo
sustained and tbo names of two of our ulster
republics bo not stricken from the earth.
No people would welcome our good offices
llko the English people , the South African
republics were ready for mediation and the
United States , as the friend of both , should
bo the best mediator ,
The president. In responding , thanked the
gentlemen present for appearing nnd for
the sentiments expressed In behalf of peace.
Such sentiments had his sympathy , but In
n case -where so many diverse Interests
nro Involved moves must be made with
great reserve , lest unwittingly Injury bo
done some of the parties. The fact , more
over , must not bo overlooked that America
had Interests at stake. The president re
iterated that he was for pence and assured
the delegation that the petition would re
ceive his most earnest consideration.

A cur Molillc , Aln.
MOBILE , Ala. , Ort. 26. News was re
ceived toJay that fourteen people bad been
burned to death at Talres , Baldwin county ,
about thirty miles northeast of Mobile. The
Information was brought to this city by Cap
tain John E. Jordan , who resides In that
locality. Sometime during Monday night
last lire destroyed the dwellings of Harry [
Goodlow and Samuel Smlthson , cremating
I
all the occupants ot both houses.
The Goodlow family consisted of father ,
mother and six children. There were six
persons residing In the Smlthaon home , the
husband , wife , three children and a sister of
Mr. Smltluon. The fire Is believed to have
been of accidental origin.
The plno trees surrounding the house
caught fire from the ( lames and prevented
any assistance from reaching the persons
In the houses. Bodies were found In the
rooms where the different members of the
families had been accustomed to sleep.
Death had probably come while they were
sleeping.
The families formed part of a colony of
emigrants who had settled In this region.
These two families had come from Iowa ,
Gcodlow having been in the neighborhood
for some three years , while Smlthson had
only recently reached the locality.
The bodies were Interred In thelittle
graveyard of the settlement , one of the
colonists acting ns minister.

WASHINGTON' , Oct. 26 In his annual
report to the secretary of the treasury Com
missioner General Powderly of the immi
gration bureau gives the total arrivals for
the year ended June 30 , ISO ! ) , as 311,715 , an
Increase over the preceding yetr of S2.11G. or
36 per cent. The opinion is expressed that
at leaat 25,000 persons were not Hated In
this numbtr , through u defect In the law IH
well ns an Intermediate number from Can
ada and Mexico who are not under existing
regulations accounted for.
The Increase over the figures for last
year Is reported largely by Immigration
from Europe , Fpeclflcally from Italy ,
Austria-Hungary and Russia , which shown
gains respectively of 18,806 , 22,694 nnd 31-
151. Of the total arrivals Europe supplied
297.34U. Asia S.OTl' . Africa fifty-ono nnd all
other countries , 543. The distribution as to
sex w.is 193,227 males nnd 116,438 females ;
as to age , 43,898 wrrp under 14 , 248,187 from
II to 15 , and 10,515 of 15 jears or older ,
As to Illiteracy CO , 146 could neither read
nor write , and 1,022 could read , but were
unable to write. As to amount of money
brought , 39,071 had each $30 or over niul
171.613 had each less than ? 30. The total
amount ot money exhibited to officers was
$5,414,462. There were returned to their
own countries within one year after ar-
rl\nl , 2,632. In addition to 796 pnupcrs and
SOS alien contract laborers debarred on the
Canadian nnd Mexlcin borders , there were
refused admission one Idiot , nineteen Insane
persons , 2,599 paupers or persons likely to
become public charges , 318 diseased per
sons , eight coin lets , eighty-two assisted Im
migrants and 741 contract laborers , making
a total of 3,798 The number ot contract
laborers debarred last > car e-xccedod the
number for the next preceding year by 77
per cent.
Legislation Is recommended to enable the
commissioner general to ha\c Investigations
made at the centers of labor In this country
to which contract laborers are destined.
The recommendation of last jcar is repeated
as to the necessity for transferring the Im
migration stations nt Canadian ports to cer
tain designated points on our northern boun
dary , which shall bo the only ports of entry
for aliens coming through the dominion.
This recommendation is eustnlned by figures
showing that the immigration through Can
ada has largely Increased and that the care
exercised by the officials at the American
ports Is merely diverting the tide of immi
gration through a channel ottering little ob
struction. It Is also recommended that in
formation be collected showing the number
of aliens annually leaving for foreign coun
tries , also thnt the authority of the bureau
bo extended ea as to Include the subject of
naturalization to such extent as may be
necessary to prevent fraud. A severance ot
the connection between the customs and im
migration branches of the government is
urged.
LnrvN Shnitlil be nxtcmloil.
With regard to the Islands now held un
der military authority as aji outcome of the
war with Spain , the opinion Is expressed
that the prompt extension of the Immigra
tion laws to them , by order of the secretary
of war , will avoid many embarrassments.
It IT also recommended that the authority
ot the secretary of the treasury be extended
to the arrest and deportation of aliens in
this country in violation of any law , as well
as to such as have landed in disregard of
the provisions of the alien contract labor
laws ; to extend from one to five years the
tlmo within which aliens who have become
public charges of Institutions may bo deported -
ported , upon condition that those reeking
relief from the burden during the four ad-
ditional jears defray the expense of the de
ported alien to the port of departure , the
bureau defraying the cosE of steamship
transportation.
It Is also recommended that authority bo
granted allowing the manifests of cabin pas
sengers to bo made up during the vojage
and their certification on arrival at an
American port before an Immigrant inspec
tor. It Is also recommended that to pi event
a defeat of the purpose ot the laws , through
the claim of passengers to be vlsitois
merely and not Immigrants , that the laws
be extended to all aliens , Including seamen
on foreign vessels after discharge at a port
of the United States.
The cost of enforcing the alien contract
labor laws during the year was $87,725 and
of the Immigration laws $288,002.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 26. The annual re
port of Commissioner Hermann of the gen
eral land office , made public today , shows
n grand total of 929,308,068 , acres of unap
propriated and unreserved public lands In
the United States , The dlsnceals of public
lands during the fiscal year show an In
crease of 728,516 acres as compared with
the aggregate of the previous year , Thu
total cash receipts of the service increased
$792,142 over last year. Original homestead
entries showed n decrease of 39,132 In area ,
There were 150,541 acres certified or pat
ented as swamp lands during the year , an
increaao of almost 70,000. Indian and mis
cellaneous land patents Issued aggregated
212,848 acres nnd 420,760 acres selected by
the various states and territorlea were ap
proved and certified for educational and
other purposes. Under the several railroad
grants made by congress there -were certified
nnd patented last year 504,651 , acres of land ,
together with 60,392 acres for wagon road
construction.
The commissioner makee a number of res-
ommendatlona Iroklngtothe bettering of the
land laws and their administration and sug
gests the enlargement of the national park
In Washington and the Yellowstone national
park In Wjomlng.
Protection against forft fires Is espec
ially urged. It Is estimated that the average
yearly lor from this cause Is not less than
$20,000,000.
The proper utilization of the grazing lands
on the public domain Is also urged nnd
It Is pointed out that so long as the laws
require mlllmen and other lumber men to
pay a fair price to the government for tim
ber for supplies drawn from public land
there should be an equal charge levied on
the grazing products of publlr lands. The
government , It Is urged , should derive a
revenue from leaoing such lands

grants shows 36.570,099 acres as the quantity
of lands to which that company Is entitled

WASHINGTON , Oct. 20 The navy de
partment has made public the report of
Hear Admiral Charles O'Nell , chief of ord
nance. It shows a satisfactory condition ot
affairs In the ordnance branch ot the serv
ice In nil departments save that of nrnior.
Admiral O'Nell goes at tome length Into
the history ot the present difficulty of ob
taining armor suitable for the new battle
ships nnd cruisers.
Congrcfs last vcar limited the price ol ar
mor to $400 $ per ton. At this price no ac
ceptable bids were received , but proposals
were recently Invited for armor for the three
now battleships , numbers 10 , 17 , nnd 12 ot
the Mnliui class , the four harbor defense
monitors , numbers 7 , S , ! ) and 10 of the Ar
kansas clats nnd three battleships , numbers
13 , 14 nnd 15 and three armored cruisers.
The total amount of armor necessary for the
I seven vctecls authorized by the act of coa-
j grcps approved May 4 , 1S98 , was 21,000 tons.
1 Only one firm put in a bid nnd thnt at
$150 per ton. It was ascertained on inquiry
that this bidder had no manufacturing plant
whatever and the bid was not considered.
The difference In quality and price of the
armor arose In the dcelre of the department
to fcccuro plates of what la generally known
as the Krupp process , which is deemed more
batisfactory than the face-hardened armor
plato heretofore in use In American war
ships.
The contractors claimed that It was Im-
'poeslblo to supply this armor for $100 per
ton nnd the department , in order to avoid a
delay In tbe completion of certain vessels
already contracted for , was obliged to con
tract In August and September of this year
for a comparatively small amount ot armor ,
aggregate 2,268 tons , for the vetscls of the
Maine class and for the four harbor defense
monitors. There remains still to bo con
tracted for a total of 21,458 tons for the
three battleships of the Maine class , for the
three battleships authorized by the act of
March 3 , 1899 , and for the three filet-class
ctulsers.
In order not to delay the completion of the
vessels of the Maine class beyond contract
date , Admiral O'Nell sajs that It will be
necessary to make contracts for the remain
ing armor by Januc.iy , 1800.
The question of a government armor fac
tory , he sa > s , should have no bearing upon
the supply of armor for the Maine , Ohio and
Missouri , as It would be Impracticable to ob
tain armor from huch a source in time to
complete these vessels

Philippine commissioners want. There Is a
great denl vet for the president to do on Ills
mcESRgo and for the peace commtssicsiers to
do on their report , but this one Important
conclusion Is certain.
Your correspondent lias excellent authority
for the statement that the president Intends
to make ? pcclllc recommendations to con
gress Iti favor ot holding the Philippines
permanent ! ) nnd ns to tlio form of civil gov
ernment to take the place of the military as
' soon as the Tagalos now In rebellion sur
render. H Is uuthorltatlvel } stated thnt
there will bo no half-way measures suggested
for the purpose of eldotraekliig the Philip
pine question until after the next campaign
The president will face the Issue squarely
nnd give congress the best Information from
his commissioners and other sources to
support the position ho has assumed.
Although mcmbcis of the Philippine com
mission arc- not talking for publication , there
Is no doubt they will lay gieat stress In
their repoit upon the desirability of a prompt
nnd emphatic declaration , co the part of con-
; rcs = , which \\lll convince those now In re
bellion that all bnuichts of the government
nro united on the question of permanent
American control l-i the Philippines Such
action , in tlui opinion cf Admiral Dewey nnd
Prof. Schurman , will bo utmost ae effectlve
as guns in ending the war In the Philippines.
It Is now only a question cf the specific
It tail of government the president will
iccommend. Ho will be govurncd In his
decision by the views of the Philippine c m-
mlssloners , whoeo final decision will bo the
result of the deliberations they are here for
row. The lirst meeting 01 tne commissioners
will bo held In the State department to
morrow , but they will probably not begtu
the actual preparation of their report before
next Monday.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 20. War department
ofiiclals refuse to make public any of the pro
visions of the arrangement made by General
Bates with the sultan of Sulu , the southern-
moat group of the Philippines , but slate that
Its main features ha\e been touched upon In
the cable press reports from Manila. The
document was received In Washington about
six \\eeks ago.
A cabinet officer sajs General Dates has
secured for the United States the valuable
services of the whole royal family of Sulu
for the compensation ot a good clerk and
provided for the immediate mitigation ot the
conditions ot the slaves and their ultimate
emancipation. Not being in actual posses
sion of the Sulu group ( and Spain has never
been able to obtain more than a normal
suzerainty over it ) the ability of the
United States military commander to effect
these things , beside preserving pqace and
opening the islands to trade , is regarded aa
commendable.
It is further said that this arrangement
Is not permanent and does not prevent dif
ferent treatment of the Islands in the fu
ture , and still further , It has not been ap
proved thus far by the cresldent and may
be rejected If It Is not deemed proper to do
s6.
The arrangement is regarded as a purely
military one , fully within the powers of the
American commanding officer to draw up ,
and so it will not be submitted to the senate
ns would be a tieaty , but will bo merely
transmitted as a matter of information.
GOING TO BRING HOME DEAD

the
NEW YORK , Oct. 20. A special to the
World from Washington says : I ) . H.
Rhodes , an emplojo of the quartermaster's
department , who superintended the removal
of the dead soldiers from Cuba last snrlnc.
has departed for Manila to make arrange
ments for bringing to this country the
bodies of the bos In blue who have fallen
In battle or died of disease in the Philippine
Islands.
The promise made by the president nt the
time of the breaking out of the Spanish war
that the bodies of all eoldlers who fell In
battle or died of disease In foreign countries
should bo returned to their homeo In this
country for final Interment will be strictly
adhered to in regard to the Philippine war.
An expedition sent out last spring was a
failure and bodies will bo sent back by tbo
returning transports which are now carryIng -
Ing troops to the islands and will probably
reach this country about the first of the
year.
The remaining bodies of American soldiers
left In Cuba nnd Porto Rico last spring and
the bodlcb ot those who have died In those
Islands since will be brought back to this
country in December.
The returning ships bearing the dead from
the Philippines will atop at Hawaii to gather
up the few bodies of American soldiers In
terred there ,

MANILA , Oct. 28. The Filipino con-
gicss hoa selected a commission of natlvo
priests to proceed to Koine and explain to
the pope the abuses and iniquities of the
friars and ask for correcting Intervention
Agulnaldo , In a recent speech at Tariae ,
characterized the friars as intriguers and
nbuscrs of honor , law and morality and de
clared they compacted Spain's downfall in
the Philippines. He added-
"Wo can have no consideration for the
friars , whoso tnlquHlcv and abuses are doubt-
leas unknown at the Vatican , where only the
friars' own misleading reports are received
If thin commission has not yet left Manila
the fact Is due to the machination and in
trigue ot Bishop Nozalcda of Manila , who Is
most elfioaclously aiding our enemies , "
