General Schwan Says the
Rebellion Has Collapsed.
ROBBER BANDS ALONE FIGHTING
"When tke Militarr Gala the Confi
dence of the Natives, All Serlomn
Tromble Will Disappear.
"WASHINGTON, May 22. The "War De
partment has received an interesting re
port from "Brigadier-General Theodore
Schwan, U- S. V., dated on the transport
Thomas, at sea May 12, 1S0O, In which he
submits a thorough review of the state of
affairs in the Philippines up to the time
of his departure from Manila, April IS
last, making particular note of what he
believes to he the irretrievable collapse of
the Filipino insurrection as a whole, and
expressing the conviction that If left alone
the Filipinos will soon demonstrate their
absolute inability to govern themselves.
"The principal Islands," he says, "are
now as before held with an iron grip by
the military- In Luzon, Luna, as well as
all the coast towns of importance, are oc
cupied by American troops."
General Schwan states that the sole
hope entertained by the insurgents for a
revival of the insurrection lies In the sup
position that the United States troops will
be obliged to abandon many of their pres
ent positions at the opening of the wet
season, owing to inability to secure sup
plies during that period, and also "In the
possibility of victory for the Democratic
or anti-expansionist party in the coming
Presidential election." General Schwan
says the Insurgents think that such a vic
tory will mean the withdrawal of all mili
tary forces now in the islands.
With the exception of the savage moun
tain tribes and the numerous bands of
"brigands, says the report, the great ma
jority of both the educated and peasant
classes in the Philippines heartily desire
a restoration of peace under American
rule. Many bands of robbers and brig
ands form a disjointed nucleus for a
prospective "reconcentratlon of insurgent
forces, and the renewed prosecution of
the rebellion, says General Schwan. Con
tinuing, the report says:
"Jndeed, these guerrilla bands and their
depredations constitute all that is Implied
by the 'Philippine Insurrection' as It now
exists. The operation of troops and the
pacification of towns not yet subdued will
be carried on regardless of the rainy sea
son, which, as stated above, the insur
gents believe will cause an abandonment
of many important towns by our troops."
In conclusion. General Schwan says:
"The most serious obstacle In the way
of complete pacification of the Islands now
lies in the mutual distrust between the
troops and the Inhabitants. This. I be
lieve, will disappear after each class be
comes more thoroughly acquainted with
the other, and the benefits to be derived
from an Intimate relationship with the
military become appreciated by the na
tives. On the other hand, the work cut
out for the troops will be greatly facili
tated when they gain the confidence of
the well-disposed natives. "When the lat
ter find that the troops have come to stay,
they undoubtedly will resist the exactions
of the robber bands, turn about, and as
sist the American troops in ferreting out
their haunts and plans, and the days of
the guerrilla rebellion will be numbered."
CARMEN RIOTING.
More Bloodshed In St. "Louis Canned
hr the Strike.
ST. LOUIS, May 23. Renewed rioting
and another fatality marked the progress
of the strike on the St. Louis Transit
Company'e system today. This afternoon
a Case-avenue car was stopped at the
corner of Twenty-third street and Casa
avenue In order that a barricade which
had been placed across the track might
be removed. During the enforced halt a
big crowd of strike sympathizers attacked
the car, firing a number of shots. One
of the bullets struck Special Policeman
Duncan K. McRae, who was riding on
the front platform with the motorman,
in the left arm, passing through his body
and coming out on the right elde. The
policeman sank unconscious to the floor.
Other patrolmen who had been stationed
at the corner to protect the cars then
charged the crowd and beat them back.
A not call was sent in to the Ninth dis
trict station, and a dozen mounted police
men came at full gallop to the ecene.
The comb'ned forces soon restored order.
McRae was placed In an ambulance, but
died en route to the hospital. McRae
was about CO years of age.
Eddie Mans. 3 years old, was shot
through the leg this afternoon by a man
yi a Cass-avenue car. The little boy was
pitting -on the front doorstep when some
small boys, who had been throwing 6tones
at a west-bound Cass-avenue car. ran up
the alley south of the house. A man.
who Is supposed to "be an emergency po
liceman, leaned out from the car and fired
a shot at the fleeing boys. The shot
struck little Mans in the right leg near
the hip.
R. B. Hodge, a conductor on the Tower
Grove line. Is a patient at the St. John's
Hospital, suffering from Injuries which It
is feared will prove fatal. He was as
saulted by a crowd of men on his car at
the crossing of Saline street Tuesday
afternoon. One of them struck Hodge on
the head with a club and others knocked
him down and kicked him until he was
unconscious.
No new lines were opened today, but
the number of cars was Increased on those
lines In operation. Few passengers rode
in the cars. At ID o'clock tonight the
last car which has been run at night
since 4he commencement of the strike was
sent over the Park-avenue line in charge
of about 15 heavily-armed guards, and was
run without lights. The car attracted a
crowd at the corner of Park and Mis
sissippi avenues and the men on board
flred a number of shots, slightly injuring
two spectators.
CIGARMAIvER'S STRIKE.
Social Reform Club Takes Dp Its
Cnsc.
NEW YORK, May 23. The matter of
the injunctions that have recently been
Issued against the Clgarmakers' Union
forbidding It to picket the factories of
manufacturers whose employes have
struck, and forbidding it also to pay
strike benefits to the strikers, has been
taken up by the Social Reform Club,
which last evening listened to a report
made by Its committee on Injunctions,
composed of John Brooks Leavltt, Ernest
H. Crosby, Mornay "Williams, John D.
Kernan and John Frankenhelmer.
The report was read by Mr. Leavltt
and contained the following recommenda
tions: "That an attempt be made to obtain
concerted action throughout the country
in favor of urging upon the National and
State Legislatures the passage of acts
providing:
" "That injunctions shall not be issued
gainst any but parties to the action,
their agents, servants and attorneys.
" 'That when an injunction, however
- valid in part, prohibits the lawful use
of the highway, or the right of free
5peech, or lawful combination to advance
joint Interests, It shall be void in toto.
" 'That all persons who are. charged
with disobedience of an Injunction In
respect to the matter which might be
the subject of an Indictment shall have
the right to demand a trial by jury up
on Issues of fact to be properly framed. "
In regard to the Injunction of Justice
Frcedman against the clgarmakers, the
committee was of the opinion that the
Justice had not carefully read "the papers
in the case and believed that it would be
set aside.

OFF FOR POLAR GOLD.
(Continued from First Page.)
by them to leave this harbor. For exam
ples, tho Eliza Anderson and the Clara
Nevada, during the Klondike rush. At
that time the Inspectors had no control
of sailing vessels, but they have now
more or less control. So far as known, no
steamer so conspicuously unfit for service
as the Anderson has been suffered to de
part: but there It no telling what time
will develop. The great danger Is in over
loading. The big barge Skookum was
burdened with 7000 tons of freight when a
reasonable limit was 5000. Some of her
consignors realized the dangerous situ
ation before she left port, and raised a
row with her owner. As a result, a
board of survey was appointed, and it
made some recommendations as to shift
ing cargo and taking off about 2000 tons.
The recommendations were adopted, at
least in part, and the barge started on her
perilous Journey.
The Skookum carried 200 or more head
of stock, mostly horses and cattle. They
were Inclosed in a temporary superstruc
ture, built over tho low deck of the barge.
On the barge-house was in turn a com
plete covering of freight. The stock was
crowded together In this great pen. poorly
ventilated, and with no provision what
ever for their comfort. If a severe storm
is encountered, it Is impossible to say
what will become of the unfortunate
beasts. The method of caring for Nome
bound stock generally is cruel, and cer
tain to result In many deaths. They are
boxed like herring In Individual stalls,
usually on deck, where they can at least
get plenty of air; but that is all. They
are exposed to the full fury of every
storm. Individual stalls are necessary,
and they are nearly always too small. A
horse must have a chance to stretch his
lcg and he must be protected against
the bars of his temporary prison In the
lurching of the vessel. It will be remem
bered that tho transport Victoria, which
left here last Fall with 500 horses for the
Philippines, returned in a week, after a
pitiful experience, with her cargo either
dead or dying, or in a frightful condi
tion. The stall slings used to support the
weight of the animal he is not permitted
to lie down had swung him off his feet,
and the unhappy beast was thrown
against the stanchions with terrific force.
This continued during a several days'
storm, and out of sheer humanity the
captain was forced to put back. Only a
small number of the horses survived that
awful adventure. Now, the Nome fleet
has not profited by the experience of the
Victoria, and, in case of protracted
storms, the horses and cattle will faro
hard. In any event, they will reach their
destination In an exhausted condition.
The transportation companies are reap
ing a rich harvest. Old freighters have
been transformed to passenger steamers,
and every available inch of space used in
some profitable way. For example, the
Robert Dollar was equipped with tempo
rary staterooms, and hundreds of berths
sold. When the joyous Nomer came to
examine his quarters he found so it Is
said that the cabins were exactly S feet
7 Inches long! Probably there would have
been no kicking if the ovvners had been
able to make up a selected cargo of short
men. As It was, the passengers were an
assorted lot, and the six-footers com
plained considerably. But they feared to
give up their reservations. It Is due to
tho steamboat owners entirely reputable
people to add that the superstructure
was stoutly built, and that safety. If not
perfect comfort, was assured. All the
boats havo been overcrowded, and many
of them days before the date of sailing
were chock-full. The original price of a
first-class passage was $100 In some in
stances $125 but this was quickly jumped
to $150 and even $175. Some of the compa
nies stood in with the scalpers, and. be
fore they sold out, told all applicants that
they had nothing left, but they probably
could get a ticket of so-and-so. Thus they
realized tho advance above list price, less
the agent's commission, and the public
was little the wiser. Second voyages are
now being advertised at $S5 and $60.
To return to the subject of the ice In
Behring Sea: It Is curious how seasoned
old-timers differ as to Its condition. The
North American Transportation Company
usually dispatches its first vessel to St.
Michael on June 10, but it has now ad
vanced the date of the Roanoke's depart
ure to May 25. The Bertha, owned by the
Alaska Commercial Company, which has
been operating in northern waters for 27
years, left April 29. The steamer Alpha,
which was the first of the fleet, started
April 15. She was unable to break the
vast Behring wall of Ice, and returned to
Dutch Harbor.

QUESTION OF REVISION,
SPEECHES FOR AKD AGAIXST IT AT
GENERAL ASSE3IBLY.
fcthodlst General Conference Voted j
t Abolish the Time Limit on
Pastorates.
ST. LOUIS. May 23. Advancement was
made in the work of the General Assem
bly today by the adoption of the report of
the committee on bills and overtures ask
ing the presbyteries what action they de
sired to take, if any, in the revision of
the creed, nnd in tne election of Dr. Wlil-
!&m B. Noble, of California, as permanent
clerk. Although the afternoon session was
fraught with unusual interest, there was
no dramatic situation. Speakers for and
against revision occupied the floor, and

made speeches, and the most friendly
spirit prevailed.
The adoption of the report of the com
mittee on bills and overtures relating to
the appointment of the revision commit
tee by the assembly was received with
great satisfaction. Scarcely lees enthusi
asm was manifested during the election of
the permanent clerk.
THE GENERAL CONFERENCE.
Voted to Ahollsh Time Limit on Pas
torates. CHICAGO. May 23. The Methodist Gen
eral Conference today, after considerable
discussion, voted to abolish the time limit
on pastorates. The result was received
with great applause.
Agent Mains, representative of the
Methodist publishing Interests In New
York, was kept busy for an hour explain
ing certain portions of his quadrennial
report to the committee on book concern.
Chairman Frank Arter, of the subcom
mittee to which was referred the report
of the publishing agents In the East, sub
mitted a statement, which will in all prob
ability cause a sensation when it reaches
the General Conference. It calls attention
to the fact that the Eastern publishing
house has permitted Its working capital
to become exhausted, while it has lent its
credit to outside enterprises. One case of
the kind referred to in the report is that
of the International Bible Society. Ac
cording to the report, this concern or Its
representatives has owed ,the publishing
house $51,000 for 'several years, and ap
parently no effort has been made to ad
just the account. The report also stated
that the Eastern house has paid large dly -
Idends and subsidies, without reducing its
liabilities. '
The committee an episcopacy tonight
considered a protest signed by the presi
dents of all the Methodist educational in
stitutions of the country, and aimed at
Bishop Hurst and his American Univer
sity, demanding that steps be taken to
check the general superintendents of the
church in their tendency to use the epis
copal office as a club to force subscrip
tions for the benefit of colleges in which
they were Interested. The protest was re
ferred to a special committee of seven,
which met after the adjournment of the
main body, and will report tomorrow.
Another matter of importance was the
report of the subcommittee fixing the
episcopal residences for the coming quad
rennlum. Much disaffection developed at
the report, and after some discussion fur
ther consideration was deferred until to
morrow. Here Is the list as submitted by
the committee tonight: Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Cincinnati,
Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Topeka, Min
neapolis, San Francisco, Portland (Or.
and Chattanooga, with the committee un
decided whether to report In favor of
Washington or Denver. The indecision in
regard to the continuation of an episcopal
residence in the capital city was regarded
as another blow to Bishop Hurst,
AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY.
Mar End Its Existence in a Few
Months.
NEW YORK, May 23. It would appear
from statements made by certain
members of the American and Foreign
Bible Society that that organization Is
to end Its existence within a few months.
These members make up that part of the
society which represents the original or
ganization before it took under Its name
the American Bible Union. It is well
known that before these two organiza
tions were united, they had been bitter
rivals and that after their consolidation
some of their members wanted to keep
up the conflict.
The Rev. George W. Herver, who rep-
resents the original American and For
eign Bible Society faction, said last
night:
"The time has come for dismember
ment. During the last ten years or more
the American Bible Union faction has
been In control of the society. It has ap
propriated money in direct variance with
the constitution and still Insists on con
tinuing in this course. According to the
constitution of the society, the money
contriDUtea snouia oe expenaea in ais-
semlnatlng the Bible among the heathen
and thus aid the work of the missiona
ries; instead the controlling element In
the board has been spending money In get
ting out another English version of the
Bible.
"Another point of illegality in the
present administration of the work of the
society lies in the fact that it turns its
money over to tne publication nouse of
the church in Philadelphia. A committee
has been appointed to review the situa
tion and decide whether the society
should apply to the Supreme Court for
a receiver or wait for an injunction. If
the committee is not advised to take the
first course in two or three months, I
myself will ask for an injunction."
The committee which was appointed at
the meeting of the society on Monday,
to review the situation as Indicated oy
Mr. Herver, consists of the Rev. Lelghton
Williams, Rev. J. N. Folwell, and D. W.
Perkins. Mr. Williams, In speaking of
the situation, said:
"I do not look upon the work of our
committee as hopeless. I believe that a
clause may he Inserted In the constitu
tion which will prevent further money be
ing spent on ether versions of the Bible
than the old King James version. There
are seminaries and a multitude of schol
ars for this work of further revision of
the Bible."

INSULAR ACCOUNTS.
These With Cuba Are in a Bad
Tangle.
WASHINGTON, May 23. The affaira of
the fiscal agents of the Government in
Cuba and Porto Rico aro undergoing a
thorough investigation by Mr. Morris, the

accounts, particularly with respect to
Cuba, are in a bad tangle.
"We have not yet reached the accounts
of the North American Trust Company,
our fiscal agent In Cuba," said Mr. Mor
ris, "but we expect to get to them soon.
We have, however, been working on the
accounts of D. Ford & Co., who handle
money for us in Porto Rico, and the case
is Identical with that of the trust com
pany in Cuba. I have Insisted that the
accounts should be presented in proper
form, and that checks should be presented
for every disbursement. In no instance
have we allowed a commission for the

Sophomore Societies Fight.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 23. Kappa
Psl, one of the recalcitrant secret sopho
more societies at Yale, has ratified the
joint agreement between the commutes
representing the senior classes and tho
sophomore societies. Eta Phi had previ
ously ratified It and only He Boule holds
out, but is expected to follow suit at once.
Prominent members say that the fight has
ended virtually, that the sophomore so
cieties have run to cover, and that the
pyramid system of society elections is now
assured.
Although that is the hopeful student
sentiment, the faculty has yet to be heard
from. A member of the faculty said last
night:
"We voted to prohibit further initiations
by the secret sophomore societies. That
Is virtual abolition, but If the three so
cieties modify their stand and enter Into
the pyramid scheme of expanding, as they
supposedly agreed a month ago, but back
out of the resolution to take in S3 men
each, why, I think our vote will be re
scinded. That will end the agitation and
harmony will be restored."
Shoeing Geese.
Popular Science Monthly.
A goose market Is held regularly in Oc
tober at Warsaw, Poland, to which about
3,000,000 geese are brought, most of them to
be exported to Germany. Oft:n coming f rem
remote provinces, many of these geese
have to travel over long distances, upon
roads which would wear out their feet
If they were not "shod." For this purpose
they are driven first through tar poured
upon the ground, and then thrpugh sand.
After the operation has been repeated
r.everal times the feet of the geese be
come covered with a hard crust that ef
fectively protects them.

THE PROMISE OF SPRING AND SUMMER
There is no impropriety in calling;
attention to the fact that the Spring and
Summer months afford the best time for
the treatment of Catarrh.
This has been frequently done by physi
cians who assume to treat this disease, i
perhaps to Increase their practice during j
tne spring ana bummer, xet. irom wnat
ever motive, their teaching on this point
at least has been true enough.
Spring and Summer do afford the best
time to cure Catarrhal conditions.
The Greatest Rcsalts Yet to Be
Reached.
And It is moreover appropriate at Just
this time of the year, while the Interest
of tho community over this marvelous
treatment which Doctor Copeland has
given to the world Is at Its height; while
the testimony Is pouring in and filling the
newspaper columns regarding the cures
which this treatment is accomplishing,
that It should be made very clear that the
marvelous measure of his success has by
no means been reached: that It is during
the next few months, durlnsr the favora

season, tnat tne most splendid and uni

Catarrh since childhood. My nose was
always stopped up, first one side, then
the other. At times I could not breathe
through my nose at all, but was compelled
to breathe through my mouth, especially
at night. I had dull headache. There
was a discharge from the nose and drop
ping into tho throat, causing mo to cough

and keeping the throat Irritated and in
flamed. My hearing was also greatly Im
paired. My whole system seemed to be under
mined by the poisons of Catarrh. I had
pain and soreness in the chest and under
the shoulder-blades, and my breathing was
short and difficult. My stomach was
weak, and food was not properly digested.
My sleep was unrefroshing. and I got up in
the morning as tired as when I went to
bed.
After doctoring for years, I was finally
persuaded by a friend to take up a course
of treatment at the Copeland Institute.
My Improvement was very slow, and It
often seemed I would not get well, but
now I am In better health than ever be
fore. I have no aches or pain. My breath
