TRANSPORT OHIO ARRIVES. A Correspondent Who Does Not Understand Attacks on Otis. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5. — The United States transport Ohio arrived here to-day from Manila via Guam and Honolulu. She brings three officers and forty-nine men of the Nevada cav alry and 213 discharged soldiers. Two deaths occurred on the voyage. John Mauk of the First Colorado and Private F. Cullen of the Fourteenth Infantry. Both died of dysentery. There were three sick men in the hospital with the same complaint. The Ohio also had live naval prisoners sentenced to im prisonment at Alcatraz. E. C. Ross, a correspondent of "Frank Leslie's Week, ly," was a passenger on the Ohio. "I do not undei stand the attacks up on General Otis unless politics is the cause," said the journalist. "It begun to the States, and not in Manila. As a matter of fact, there has been no particular call for Generalship recent ly, no very active operations being at tempted. In my experience there was no difficulty with the General, and I never suffered from his reported chang ing of matters submitted to the cen sor." At Guam Mr. Ross reports very quiet conditions. The United States steamer Yosemite is in the harbor. Her marines aie put at work in the city, and are bitter in complaints regarding their treatment. They are compelled to la bor in the sewers and on streets, and to do work that the natives refuse to do. The Nevada troopers were welcomed by Governor Sadler and Senator New lands, and will be given a breakfast at the Pulace Hotel to-morrow morning before they proceed to the Presidio.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5. — The Russian steamer Dolney Vastok has ar rived from Honolulu in tow of the tug Reliance, her machinery having broken down just outside the Heads.

PLEASANTON, Nov. s.—ln a drunk en brawl in Indian Town, between Pleasanton'and Sunol, last night Frank Schneea stabbed Frank Flores, inflict ing a wound which resulted in death early this morning. Both men are half breeds and were friends. A number of Indians were in the house and all were drinking wine. They became quarrelsome, the wife of Flores got into a quarrel with her husband, and he tried to kill her. Schneea told him to put up his knife and leave the woman alone, but Flores refused to do so, and told Schneea it was none of his busi ness. Hot words followed and Flores chased Schneea around the room and out of doors. Seeing that he must defend him self, the pursued man drew his knife, and stabbed his opponent in the left arm near the shoulder, inflicting a fatal wound. The murderer was arrested and placed in jail here. He claims self defense. The autopsy held this after noon shows that the knife severed the brachial artery and the man bled to death.

She Wants a Naval Mustering Sta tion in Alaska. NEW YORK, Nov. "».—Ex-Congress man James H. Lewis of Seattle, Wash., who went to England to look after the interests of the Atlin miners in the set tlement of the Alaskan boundary ques tion, returned on the St. Paul to-day. Mr. Lewis said in regard to his mis sion: "With the new arrangements, the line is drawn horizontally from mountain top to mountain top. Water ports be tween these mountain tops are consid ered and taken to be property of Can ada wherever the water extends across the line. "In this way Canada enjoys one part of the water and we the other. What impressed me was that Canada was willing to abandon and yield the dis puted territory for a water port. Eng land sees ahead a war in the East, and so wants a naval mustering station in Alaska." Trouble Breaks Out Again. MACON (Mo.), Nov. 3.—ln spite of the vigilance of Superintendent Vail a body of negroes got out of the stock ade at mine No. til this morning and again started toward town.

I — • SENATOR MORGAN TALKS. Says Congress Should Take Action in Regard to Philippines. NEW YORK, Nov. (i.—A special to the "Herald" from Washing-ton says: "Congress should at once take action in relation to the Philippines," said Senator Morgan to-night. "This action should be taken in the discharge of the duty imposed by Sec tion 4, Article 4 of the Constitution, which provides that the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of govern ment." The Senator said that this imposed a distinct duty upon Congress and the discharge of that duty by action look ing fo the establishment of a republi can form of government in the Philip pines would be the best answer possible to the anti-imperialists. He explained that what he meant by giving a repub lican form of government to the PhiN ippines was that the best form of a re publican government known in the world would be the best form to be found among the ideal and that every step toward establishing a government in the Philippines should be an ap proach to this high ideal. No attempt should be made, he said, to frame a detailed government fcr the islands, as a whole or for any part of tha '-arious peoples who inhabited them without a thorough understand ing in all the conditions and needs of the -nhabitanta Asked whecher he favored a Congres sional Commission to vls't the Philio pines and study the conditions there, before attempting to frame a system of government, he replied: "I think it would be wise to have such a commission visit the islands. If we had undertakent to frame a gov j ernment for Hawaii without the study of local conditions which our commis | sion made, I think it is probable that we would have made some eggregious blunders. This study of conditions and of the peculiar ehaarcteristics and needs of the people is even more nec essary in the case of the Philippines than in Hawaii, because we know less of the Philippines." In the Senator's opinion the Govern ment of the United States should have charge of the external relations of the islands, of collecting and expending the revenues, and of all matters relating to the islands as a group, while the lo cal affairs should be confined as far as possible to the people of the different localities. In this connection he spoke of the township system of the New England States as the highest ideal of local self government. The question of who should have the right to vote would have to be deter mined by Congress, and in this con nection the Senator called attention to the fact that in the first instance the determination of who shall have the suffrage in the States and Territories organized under the United States was an arbitrary act, in places men only being allowed to vote, in others men and women, and in others various qualification being prescribed. | Existing laws, the Senator thought, | should be continued in force as far as they were good laws, because the peo ple understand them. One change that would have to be made would be to take away from the friars and religious orders their power of levying taxes on the people. Senator Morgan is of the opinion that while the United States should under take at once the solution of the prob lem of governing the Philippines, the development of that government into its ultimate form will have to be a matter of growth. ... JOURNALIST DEAD. R. C. Alexander, Editor of "Mail and Express," Pane* Away. NEW YOR&f Nov. fi.-Robert C. Alexander, editor of the •'Mail and Ex press," died lS»t| night of Bright's dis ease. Mr. Alexander became editor of the "Mail and Express" in March, 1805. Mr. Alexander was born in 1857 on a farm in Saratoga County, New York, and remained there until 1876. He en tered Union College and graduated at the head of his class in 1880, after which he took a course in the Albany Law School. He began the study of law in the office of ex-Governor Rob inson, at Elmlra, and was admitted to the bar and practiced until 1884, when he went to New York to open an of fice and practice his chosen profession. His connection with the "Mail and Ex press" began in 188tt, when he was em ployed by the late Colonel Shepherd as an attorney. He negotiated the sale of the paper to Colonel Shepherd, and became Secretary of the company and its counsel. f Mr. Alexander gradually drifted into editorial work, and found it so agree able that he gave up the practice of law, except in cases where the "Mail and Express" was concerned. In 1897, with R. E. Dorr, the publisher, he bought the "Mail and Express" from the •Shepherd estate. -.■ CONGRESSMAN ROBERTS' CASE. Helen Gould Urges That Voters Take Action Regarding It. j WASHINGTON, Nov. s.—Adjutant General Miller of the Spanish War Vet erans, has received the following letter from Miss Helen Gould, dated Novem ber 2d: "If the matter commends itself to your good judgment and you have not already taken an interest in the Rob erts question, I hope you may feel willing to do so. "Mr. Roberts, it seems, has at least three wives, and, advocating and prac ticing the principle he does, he should not, women think, be allowed to have a seat in the highest law making body of our land. "We realize that what we think can not carry the. weight with Congressmen that communications from voters would have, and we earnestly hope that men who sympathize with the movement will be willing to write to their Con gressmen or circulate petitions. "I have never before taken any active part in any political question, but this movement is for the protection of the home and of women throughout the country and I am glad to use the little influence I have for what I believe to be a righteous cause. I trust you will pardon me for troubling you, but you soldiers have been so sood to me, I am venturing to call your attention to a matter that interests me deeply. Inclosed you will find some of the leaflets on the subject issnted by the league for social service. Very truly, "HELEN MILLER GOULD." JOHN PAUL JONES' GRAVE. « A Parisian Antiquary Announces Its Discovery. NEW YORK, Nov. ">.—A cable to the "Tribune" from Paris says: An arch aeological discovery, which settles a disputed historical question and which cannot fail to arouse the patriotic in terest of Americans, is announced to -1 day in a report made to Embassador ! Porter by M. de Ricardy. He is the Parisian antiquary who succeeded in finding the long missing remains of Turgot, and who has for several months been engaged in researches to locate the remains of John Paul Jones, the naval hero of the war for independ ence. All efforts to ascertain the burial | place of John Paul Jones have hitherto | been fruitless, owing to the administra ! tive disorganization that prevailed at the outbreak of the French revolution. Ito the intolerant laws and municipal ordinances in force before the revoca ; tion of the edict of Nantes, which ty | rannically regulated the burial of Pro- I testants down to minute details, but which faUed to accord them official rec ognition; and to the destruction of all ' necrological records of Paris by fire i during the Commune period, in May. 1871. The report of M. de Ricardy. each statement of which is supported by au i thentic documentary • evidence, estab- I lishes in a manner which, in the opin ion of Parisian archaeologists, amounts .to a certainty, that the remains of John I Paul Jones repose in a graveyard dis j continued as such in 1793. where they were buried on July 20, 1792. It is also satisfactorily established that they were never exhumed. The grave is cov ered with a broken down building, oc cupied by a photographer. Search will be made for the body.
