FOOL TRUST.'
t'EAR RUSSIA.
It l« T'..oui,ht She Will Gradually Gobbl#
All China.
Chicago, Aug. 16.—A' special to The
Tribune from San Francisco says:
Dr. Jacob Schurman, president of the
Philippine commission, who arrived
here on the China, after being absent in
the orient since January, was seen by a
correspondent of The Tribune and asked
his views regarding the Philippines and
tho work of the commission. He said
he could not say anything about tho
islands before ho made a report to Presi-
dent McKinley. "As I said, however, to
one great statesman of Japan," he con-
tinued, "after 1 hud seen something of
the orient it seems to uie the great tjnea-1
turn there i-s not Formosa or the Philip-
pine!), but China. Englishmen out there
and Japanese as well as the government
of Great Britain feel that to hold China
intact is a thing of overshadowing im- I
portance. It is f •ared udW that Rnaaia
has tal^en Manchuria, and she may try
to eiicroach gradually on some or all of
the other 18 provinces and when it g t)
them it will do to that country what it
has done hitherto - put a duty on all
foreign goods. The English and Japan- j
ese feel that Am jrica should hold with
them in preventing the dismemberment
of China It is felt out there that al-
most anything is liable to happen in the
orient in the next half dozen years. It
is a momentous situation Englishmen
♦ here feel that their own government is
not quite as strong at the present time
as it should be, nor as strong as it used j
to be. There is undoubtedly fear of
Russia."

STARTLING STORY.
Philippine A«l*loe» Report L<en»enaot
Gllmora and Party Maltreated'
San Francisco, Aug. 16.—The Bulletin
publishes a startling story from the
Philippines regarding Lieutenant Gil-
more and the party from the Yorktown,
who were captured by the Filipinos and
who have been reported from official
sources as being well cared for and well
treated. It appears that when tho
Americans reached San Isidro. where ,
the Yorktown members and some sol- j
diers and civilians had bsen imprisoned, j
they found the names of tho prisoners
scratched on the walls of the jail. Some
letters from 'lie men wore found Secret- j
ed under stones, and a Spaniard
who had been intrusted with several,!
presented them to General Lawton. The
letters told of the hardships the men
were compelled to suffer and bv;;ged,
that aid bo sent to them. The men
complained that they had been starved,
beaten and bound, and, moreover, were
in rags. One of the letters, signed by
Albert Lowenshon, said that the Span-
iards had been treated very badly, worse |
than the A mericans, and that hundreds
were dying of dysentery and other dis-
eases and that the govt rnnient took no
notice of the sickness prevailing.. In
his letter Lowenshon, who was formerly
of the steamship Z >alandi.i, gave the
list of prisoners held by the Filipinos.
TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION.
Matters of Interest to tlie Craft Report-
ed ami Acted Upon.
Detroit, Aug. 10. Tho international
Typographical union by a vote of 12to
5J-! struck out a section of the Interna-
tional union's laws which required that
nou printer members be permitted
to work only at the particular sub-
division of the craft in which they may
be employed at time of admission to the
union. The action was in accordance
with a report of the laws committee,
which favored eliminating the object-
ionable paragraph. The sentiment of
the majority, as voiced by several
speakers, was that all incoming mem-
bers of th'- International Typographical
union ought to be taken into the fold on
equal terms.
The committee on laws recommended
iidopiion of an amendment that in ma-
chine offices under the jurisdiction of
the International Typographical union
no person should lie eligible as an ap-
prentice who is not a journeyman prill
ter and a member of the ltiternatioi a
Typographical union, except apprentices
m the last six months of their appren-
ticeship. This was referred to a special
committee.
The convention voted to continue an-
nual instead of changing to biennial ses-
sions. Several other amendments of
minor importance proposed by the laws
committee were aco d upon.
