erally with tho Upper Columbia river.
Senator Turner has secured tho adop
tion of tho Harts canal project for over
coming tlio obstruction at Tho Dnllos

tary of war to enter into n contract for
prosecuting tho work to tho extent of
$400,000 additional, making an ex
penditure of about $014,000.
Tho senate committee, unliko tho
houso, was readily convinced that Cap
tain Harts' estimate is not too high,
and saya that tho improvement is ono
of such importanco that it should no
longer bo delayed. Thonmount carried
by the sonato bill is suiflcient to con
tinuo tho work until tho noxt river and

Ssys the Brltnds were Not Fierce, but were
Insulting.

Miss Stono said tlio brigands were not
so florco as might have been imagined.
They said many insulting things, hut
novor struck or beat oithor hor or her
companion, Mmo. Tsilka.
"?ovoral reports luivo boon printed
which stated that Mmo. Tsilka had
been hold for ransom by our captors,"
raid Miss Stono, "but it is a mistnko.
I was the ono thoy wanted, and they
always tnko a married lady to diaper
ono a single ono, no matter how old tho
latter may b.
Sevon weeks before wo weto released
a baby w.: born to Mmo. Tsilka. Tlio
brigands had by this timo becomo so
insulting nnd cruel in their romarks
that it was becoming unbearable. Tho
appearance of tho baby stopped all this,
for tho rcaton that tho brigands of Tur
koy believe that a cttrso will f-ottlo on
ono of them if they do harm to a child
or its mother. Our treatment after tho
birth of tho baby was excellent. Wo
began to get bettor food, although I
must admit that it was not very good,
and tho encoring remarks stopped."

PHILIPPINE, GOVERNMENT BILL.
Measure Perfected by the House CommMtas
New Currency Regulations.
Washington, April 10. Tlio hoeto
bill establishing civil government in
tho Phillppieus was finally perfected -day
by tho Republican members of tko
insular committee, and in its complete
form was ro-tntroduced by Chalnna
Cooper. Thero is littlo doubt that it
will bo reported to tho house by ih
full committee in a day or two.
Tho house bill is unliko that of the
senate in that it provides a complete
form of govornmont for tho Islands, to
go into effect when tlio war terminates,
tlio provision being as follows:
"Whenovor tho existing insurrectloa
in tho Philippines shall have ceased
nnd n condition of general nnd complete
peace shall have been established
therein, and tho facts shall have bees
certified to, tho presidont shall Instruct
tho commission to call a general elec
tion, for tho choice of deleimtcs to a
popular assembly of tho pcoplo of the
Philippine islands, to bo known as the
Philippine assembly."
It is further provided that all tho ex
ecutive power then shall bo vested in
two housoH tho Phllippino commission
nnd the Phllippino nssembly. Provis
ion is mado for taking the census with
in 30 days aftor tho promulgation of
peace. Thoroaftor the islands are to be
divided into oloution districts and the
regular machinery for electing n legis
lature is provided. Section 12 of the
bill providos that all residents of the
Philippines shall havo the samo protec
tion from tho United States in thoir re
lations to foreign governments as is
accorded to citizens of tho United
States.
For tho purchnso of tho friar lands the
bill makoB provision for tho issuance of
insular bonds at 6 per cent, interest
payablo in gold, tho total amount not
being specillod. Tho regulation of
franchises, timber lands, mineral lands.,
etc., is piovided for. Tho system of
colnago differs from that in the senate
bill, as it makes gold tho standard,
with Philippine token money of silver .
maintained at n partly with gold. " The
peso is to bo of tllvor. It will equal
our silver dollar In size, and will be
worth half as much.
