EFFECT OF SUPREME
COURT'S DECISION
LIKELY TO CAUSES THE 'COMMIS
SION TO DELAY THEIR NORTH-
BHN TOITR ANXIOUS IKXR AD
VIOBS FROM WASHINGTON.
Manila, June 6. Gen. Chaffee and his
staff were conveyed direct to the Mala-
j canan palace today, where a private
conference between 3enerals Chaffee
J 'and MacArthur took place. Gen.
j Chaffee informed the correspondent of
J j the Associated Press that while he was
not sure of the Oriental's general ca
J pacity for self-government he favored
the establishment of civil control in th.
Philippines at the earliest practicable
moment. He was in full sympathy
S with "the commission's .plan for native
j education and business advancement,
; because the United -States interests and
native interests lie in the same line. It
seems certain that under a plan divis
ion of the civil and military authority
Judge Taft and Gen. Chaffee will col
laborate admirably. Capt. Algaiogo
and hie aide has been killed by wsrajrs
command at Dosou, Albay province.
Reilly's battery has sailed for the
United States on board the transport

Manila, June 6. The fragmentary
news received here of the Porto Rico
decisions has caused apprehension that
there will be such a deficit in the Phil
ippines-revenues that congress will
need to make an appropriation to meet
it Fears aro also expressed as to the
result of the application of Jury trials
and other features of the constitution
not suited to the conditions of the Phil
ippines.
Importers are preparing- claims for a
refunding of the duties paid.
On account, it is reported, of the de
cisions of the supreme court the United
States Philippines commissioners are
inclined to postpone their proposed
northern tour. They are somewhat
nonplused over the matter and are anx
ious to "receive advices from Washing
ton. Gen. Chaffee will sail on the
transport Sumner Saturday for a tour
of the islands.
BRYAN IN A HURRY

Says Congress Has No Ri?ht o Enact
Laws for the Island.;
Lincoln, June e.Bryan declares that
if President McKinley does not want
to face the charge of violating good
faith to the Cubans he will ascertain if
pacification exists in 'Cuba, and if it
does to redeem his solemn promise to
leave the control of the island to the
people whom congress declared free

more right to enact laws for the gov-
pmmmt of Cuba than it would have
for France or Germany.

Detroit, June 6. At its closing ses

Columbia, June 6. When Tillman to
day wias shown an interview with IMc-
Laurin in which the latter challenged
him to resign . unconditionally, TiHman
said he could not at this stage take no
tice, of the challenge as It came in "too
round about a manner.'? He consid
ered the action taken at Qaffney cov
ered the-whole situation. -Ho had forc
ed McLaurin to "jump overboard with
him, believing he could make land and
McUaurin could not, but MoSweeney
had thrown McLaurin a rope and haul
ed him in.'
Tillman expressed a belief that the
matter had been arranged and while he
did not charge MoSweeney with' sin
ister motives . he said he undoubtedly
was influenced.
Tillman exhibited a letter from Con
greseman Gaston, or f ennsyrvania,
begging him not to resign, declaring
that a corruption fund would be poured
into the state that would be appalling,
and Tillman might go down before it.
Tillman expressed the belief that the
Pennsylvanian'e fears were well form
ed. Asked if he had sent any evidence
of such a fund he replied that circurn
stantlal evidence is often the most
damning kind.

Charleston, June 6. Attorney Gen
eral Belling-er in an interview tonight
declared that the governor had acted
without legal advice in regard to the

had been consulted the resignations
would have been accepted. He said
the governor exceeded his powers. Bel
li neer seemed to depreciate McSween-
ey's action.

St. John, N. F., June 6. On going at
full speed, through a dense fog the
steamship Assyrian, bound from Ant
werp for Montreal, plunged at mid
night last night on the rocks off Cape
Race and was hurled a third of her
length upon the ledg-e while she tele
scoped her stern against the frowning
cliffs. She tore out her underbody, and
her fore and second holds showed; four
teen feet of water in a few minutes
The shock threw the sailors from, their
berths. They rushed on deck, panic
stricken. Only the threats of the offi
cers prevented the lowering' of the
boats and a brobable tragedy in the
surf.
It was at first feared that the ship
would back off and sink, but when it
was found she was firmly held the panic
abated.
The life boats were finally lowered
One was dispatched to a fishing hamlet
and the others lay by the ship until
morning when the gale compelled the
men to abandon the boats and scale the
cliffs, from which they were subse
quently rescued by boats sent to the
scene. Her condition tonight is un
harmed.
