ANNUAL REPORT OP THE
PHILIPPINE COMMISSION.
Provision for Permanent civil Govern.
meotWIto Ultimate Control in
American Heads.
By Telegraph to the Morning star.
Washington, Dee. 18-Pro vision
for a permanent civil government and
for much important legislation regard
ing the industrial development of the
Philippines is embodied in the annu
al report of the Philippines Commis
sion. it is declared by the Commis
sion that:
"Outside of the five provinces
named (Batangas, Oebu, Boho), Samar
and Mindoro) there is peace in the re
mainder of the archipelago. All in-
surrecios nave surrendered, and in
most provinces, except, among the
Lake Moros, it is entirely safe during
the day for travellers unattended to go
from one town to another. In other
provinces, recent war conditions and
suffering and hardship from cattle
pest and locusts nave developed lad
ronism. The people are friendly to
the civil government and manifest no
desire whatever for a continuance of
the war, but only a desire for peace
and protection."
Taking up the question of the po
litical future of the Filipinos, it is de
clared that the theory upon which the
committee is proceeding is! that the
only possible method of instructing
the Filipino people is to make a gov
ernment partly of Americans and
partly Filipinos, with ultimate control
in American hands for some time to
come. Less than ten per cent, of the
people speak Bpanish, and the educa
ted people, under the influence of
Spanish teaching, have but a faint con
ception of real civil liberty and the
usual self restraints required for its
maintenance. The commission have,
however, established municipal suf
frage in the pacific parts of the islands
and have limited the suffrage to
those who can read and write English
or Spanish, or who own property of the
value of $350, pay an annual tax of
$15, or have been municipal officers.
Thus far only 49,523 electors have
qualified under these provisions out of
a population of 2.695,801. Many or
the common people, the commission
believe, will be brought within these
qualifications in one generation by the
2 J -1 - m .. . .
wiaespreaa system oi education wbich
is being inaugurated, and the elector
ate will thus be gradually enlarged.
The commission outlines a project
which, in brief, contemplates the con
tinuance for two years of the existing
powers of the commission. Then a
representative government is. to be
formed, composed of a civil governor,
a legislative council and a popular
assembly, the powers of the latter
being closely limited. The President
of the United States would, of course,
reserve absolute veto power.
The commission proposes to settle
the vexed question of land titles by
legislation providing for the sale of
public lands upon the homestead prin
ciple and the payment through a bond
issue of the price of the lands -now
held by the religious orders.

SCflLEY'S CODNSEl
fILE EXCEPTIONS.
T he Findin2S Of the Majority
of fhe Naval Court
of Inquiry.
THE BILL OF EXCEPTIONS.
UDjects to Finding of the Court Upon the
around That It Conflicts With Weight
of Evidence Sampson's Pro
test Afaiost Dewey's Report.
-i
By Telegraph to the Morning star. '
Washington, Dec. 18. Admiral
Schley, through his counsel, to-day
filed with the Secretory of the Navy
the bill of exceptions to the majority
findings of the court of inquiry and
also a letter asking to be allowed to be
heard in connection with the objec
tions to be filed by attorneys for Ad
miral Sampson to the individual opin
ion of Admiral Dewey. This action
was taken after Mr. Rayner, Mr.
Teague and Captain Parker, of coun
sel, had held a consultation through
out the day with their client. Secre
tary Long, almost immediately after
the receipt of the communications,
called Judge Advocate Lemly and
the solicitor for the department, Mr.
Hanna, into conference. At its con
clusion the Secretary said that he had
no statement to make regarding any
action that he might take in the
premises. He, however, indicated to
Mr. Teague, through the judge advo
cate, that he would not hear an oral
argument by Mr. Rayner regarding
Admiral Sampson's protest, but that he
would receive a written statement.
It was expected that counsel for 'Ad
miral Sampson would file their objec
tions to the findings of Admiral Dew
ey in the case to day, but it is now
stated that such objections may not be
t offered before Friday. .
The Bill of Exceptions.
"Objects to the approval of the find
ings of the court upon the ground that
the opinion rendered and the report of
facts made by the 'majority of the
court, are in conflict with the over
whelming weight of evidence; and
that the majority of the court, in their
said opinion, have ignored the testi
mony of the applicant, and of the.
whole of the applicants' witnesses,and
all that portion of the evidence given
by witnesses for the government
which was favorable to the applicant,
and have thus deprived him of rights
guaranteed to him by the laws of the
land and the constitution of the Uni
ted States."
In conclusion, ' counsel for Ad
miral Schley say:
"The majority of the court have en
tirely failed to determine as to who
was in command of the American
naval forces engaged in the battle of
Santiago, the finding of which fact was
absolutely necessary in order to deter
mine properly the first specification of
the precept as to the conduct of Com
modore Schley in connection with the
events of the Santiago campaign.
"The majority of the court have re
jected the whole of .the testimony
offered in behalf of the applicant, and
have not adverted to such testimony,
and have entirely ignored the testimo
ny of the applicant himself, who was
on the stand for many hours and sub
jected to the most searching examina
tion; and by so doing they have per
verted the ends of justice. That if
this testimony was all false they should
have so announced, and if all or any
part of it was true the said applicant
as entitled to the benent or it, and by
declining to consider or pass upon it
they have deprived him of his common
law and constitutional rights.
"That the majority of the court have
found the applicant guilty of specinca
tions which were substantially aban
doned by the judge advocate, as will
appear from the argument in the case.
"That the whole proceedings show
that the majority of the court, in the
opinion and report of facts rendered.
have selected the testimony of a few
hostile witnesses and upon that testi
mony have based the said opinion and
report of facts, discarding all the other
testimony in the case without making
the slightest reference to it as they
were directed by the precept to do.
"The applicant, besides the reasons
herein given, hopes to be able during
the further investigation of this in
quiry to adduce other serious and im
Dortant reasons why the majority
opinion of the court should not be ap
proved.
"The applicant is prepared to show
that the whole proceedings upon
the Dart of the majority of the court
have been entirely irregular; that
his rights have been prejudiced and
ignored; that his testimony in many
mora particulars than have been
herein cited has not been con'
sidered, and that the evidence is ab
solutely insufficient to sustain the
opinion which has been rendered by
the maioritv of the court, lnat a
erave injustice has been committed,
which would become irreparable and
be perpetuated, unles this opinion of
thA maioritv of the court should be
diRannroved.
' Wherefore the said applicant most
resnf ctfullv prays that approval of the
opinion of the majority of said court
of inquiry be withheld and that said
opinion be disapproved and that he
mIT he Afforded the opportunity to
have the testimony oi recoru cu uim
epif and his witnesses properly conBid
- .. . -- J - t.S
ered and passed upon, and that the
nrnneedincra be remitted to the court
for that purpose, and tbat he be given
mich other and further relief as he is
entitled to in the premises

Rsvner's Comment.
Commenting on to-day's action, Mr.
ivpk. ntiianiinm that we have niea
.oof unnn .tViA cround that Admiral
Schley has been deprived of his rights
as guaranteed to him by the law of the
. .Biki 1 laaaaaaBaBa
roves
Ta
land and the constitution of his coun
try. We claim that the whole of the
evidence in favor of the admiral, in
cluding his own and the testimony of
all of bis witnesses, has been re
jected by the majority of the court
and not even considered or
passed upon. Such a method
of procedure would not be
permitted to stand for a moment be
fore any tribunal governed by any
principle of common law or common
justice. The admiral was on the stand
for about four days, and not a word
that he uttered and not a solemn as
sertion that he made, under the sane
tion of his oath, has been adverted to
by the majority of the court. Such a
method of disposing of a case is unpar
alleled in the annals of civil or of
criminal law. The greatest malefactor
in the land under the constitution is
entitled to have bis evidence consid
ered and passed upon. We shall, there-
lore, avail ourselves of every remedy
that we have to impeach this appalling
verdict."
In regard to the application to be
heard in reply to Admiral Sampson.
Secretary Long informed Admiral
Schley's counsel that it was not the
practice of the department to have
oral hearings on matters of this kind.
tie intimated tbat he w juld entertain
written argument.
DYNAMITE AND MINERS.
Long Immunity From Accident
nits In Contempt of Danger.
'After a miner had handled dynamite ,
for eight or ten years without a serious
mishap it is a good idea to put him to
doing something else about the works,
said a gentleman of this city who has
had a great deal of experience with high
explosives. "The chances are a hundred
to one that his long immunity from ac
cident has givn him such" a contempt
for danger that he is an unconscious
menace to everybody on the premises.
He will do things that not only imperil
bis own life, but the lives of all his
comrades. To give you an illustra
tion, once I had an old Cornishman at
work at a mine in which I was inter
ested and had Intrusted him with a
general supervision of all the blasting.
He had been handling dynamite for
twenty years or more and was Justly
regarded as an expert. During that
entire period he had. never had an acci
dent worth speaking of, and by de
grees the care and vigilance that were
responsible for his excellent record had
worn away until he was beginning to
entertain the delusion, common to old
hands," that the danger of the stuff was
very much exaggerated.
"One day I was passing through a
cut where some blasting had been go
ing on and noticed the old Cornishman
hammering a drill into what seemed to
be a boring in the rock. I asked him
what he was doing, and he told me
coolly there was a cartridge In the hole
that had failed to explode and he was
'just knockin out the tampin to re
prime it' I was horrified, for at every
blow he -was liable to explode the dyna
mite, and I ordered him sternly to stop
and never repeat such a performance.
The proper method would have been to
have drilled a new hole near by and
exploded the first charge with a second
blast. He obeyed sullenly, grumbling
to himself, and less than a month after
ward was blown up while doing exact
lv the same thing. He lost his left arm
at the shoulder, his left eye and part of
his left ear. He also lost his contempt
for dynamite, and when he finally
emerged from the hospital I gave him
back his former Job. I never had a
more Bcrnuulously careful employee
than he was from that time on. It
seems a brutal thing to say, but there
is nothing that does an old dynamite
hand as much good as to ger Diown up
once or twice." New Orleans Times

House of Representatives.
Washington, Dec. 18. The bill to
temporarily provide revenue for the
Philippine islands passed the House
to-day by a vote of 163 to 128. Five
Republicans McCall, of Massachu
setts; Littleton, of Maine; Heatwole,
Eddy and" elevens, oi Minnesota
voted with the Democrats against the
bill, and three Democrats Robertson,
Davey and Brocaseard, of Louisiana
voted with the Republicans for it.
Mr. Meyer, a Democrat, of Louisianat
was paired in favor of the bill with
Mr. Foster, of Illinois, a Democrat;
Mr. Warner, of Illinois, who voted
against the Porto Rican bill last Con
gress, voted for the Philippine meas
ure to-day. Mr. Crumpacker, of In
diana, who also voted against the Por
to Rican bill, was absent.
In the course of the debate to-day
the Democrats were several times
taunted with their failure 'to present
an alternative proposition for the
pending measure, but just before the
vote was taken on the passage of the
bill, the attitude of the minority was
defined in a motion to re commit, of
fered by Mr. Richardson, the minority
leader. It instructed the Ways and
Means Committee to report the bill
bacfe.amended, so as to reduce the cus
tom! and internal revenue laws of the
United States to a revenue basis, to
extend them to the Philippines until
the latter with the aid of the United
States should be able to set up a stable,
independent government. This propo
sition did not command a Republican
vote, and the three Louisiana Demo
crats above mentioned voted against
it. Mr. Meyer, of Louisiana, was paired
against it. The speakers to-day were
Messrs. Hepburn, Iowa, and Dalzell, of
Pennsylvania, for the bill, and Messrs.
Henry, Texas; Williams, Mississippi;
McCall, Republican, Massachusetts;
Greene, Pennsylvania; and McClel
lan. New York, against. Tne bill

the use and benefit of the islands.
The motion to recommit was lost,122
to 172, and the bill passed, 165 to 128.

CAPITAL TEN PERCENTERS.
Government Clerks Who Lend to
Their Fellow Workers.
"I reckon I'll sell my salary this
-month," remarked the young census
-clerk. -
"To whom?" asked his friend.
"Why, to one of the ten percenters,
of course," was the reply.
Dialogues such as this are of fre
quent occurrence between government
clerks in Washington toward the end
of the month. When a clerk sells his
salary to a ten percenter, he gives the
latter an I O U for the entire salary
due him on the following pay day and
receives in exchange 90 per cent of the
amount. The man who makes the loan
retains the remaining 10 per cent,
whence his name of ten percenter.
The ten percenter is said to exist
under one name or another in all of the
great federal department buildings in
Washington. He is Invariably a shrewd
government clerk who has a bit of
money of his own or has saved his sal
ary until Its accumulation represents
a tidy little sum. This capital he is
ever ready to lend In sums of from $10
to 100. TL.
In a majority of the Washington of
fices the laws against usurers are so
"tgorouBly enforced that the ten per
center is unable to transact business
In safety as an individual; he exists
nevertheless under the protecting title
of a beneficial society. These fake so
cieties should not be confused with
the mutual beneficiary organizations
which have been established for a
number of years in many of the de
partments, notably the government
printing ofllee, for the purpose 6f aid
ing sick or disabled members and their
families and of burying the dead. The
ten percenters' society never includes
more than five or six members. They
have their charter and a carefully
drawn constitution and bylaws.
Each member contributes a certain
amount of money to the funds of the
concern, and the other employees of
the office are quietly Informed how
they can be accommodated with a loan
for a small bonus. On the first of every
month the pool divides its profits.
These organizations are usually short
lived, as they become unpopular when
the business begins to grow large. The
death of one fake association is rapidly
followed by the birth of a successor,
differing from its predecessor in name
only, so that the ten percenters are en
abled to ply their trade without much
