The Commissioners desire to assure
the people of the Philippine Islands
of the cordial good will and fraternal
feeling which is entertained for them
by the President of the United States
and by the American people.
The aim and object of the American
Government, apart from the fulfill.
ment of the solemn obligations it has
assumed toward the family of nations
by its acceptance of the sovereignty
over the Philippine Islands, is the
well being, prosperity and happiness
Of the Philippine people and their ele-
vation and advancement to a position
among the most civilized people of
the world.
The President believes that this fe.
licity and perfection of the Philippine
people is to be brought about by the
assurance of peace ant order by the
guarantee of civil and religious liberty

devotion of the people to the pursuit
of useful objects and the realization
of those noble IDEAS which constitute
the higher civilization of mankind.
Unfortunately these pure aims and
purposes of the American Government

islands, and as consequence the
friendly American forces have, with

attacked And why these hostilites
What do the best Filipinos desire?

These are deemed TO be the points
of cardinal Importance:
1.-The supremacy Of The United
States must and will be enforced
throughout every part Of the archipe-
lago, and those who resist il can aC-
complish no end other than their own
ruin.
2-rhe Philippine people will be
granted the most ample liberty and
self government reconcilable with the
maintenance of wise just, stable, eff
effective and economical adminiStra-
ton Of public affairs and compatible
with the sovereign and international
rights and the obligations of the Unit
ed States.
3-Ehe civil rights of the Philippine
people viii be guaranteed and protect
ed 10 the fullest extent; religious free
dom win he assured, and all persons
shall be equal ana have equal stand
Ing in the eyes of the law.
4-IIOnor, Justice and friendship
forbid the use of the Philippine people
or the islands they inhabit as an OBJ
ject or means of exploration. The
purpose of the American Government
is the welfare and advancement of the
Philippine people.
5-rhere shall be guaranteed OF the
Philippine people an honest and effec-
tive civil service i'm which, to the full
est extent to which ii is practical ma
tives shall be employed.
6-The collection and application of
all taxes and other revenues will be
placed upon a sound, economical basis.
and the public funds, raised Justly
and collected honestly, will be applied
only TO defray the regular expenses
incurred by and for the establishment
and maintenance of the Philippine
Government and such general i'm
provements as the public interests
may demand. Local funds collected
will ne used for local purposes and not
to he devoted to other ends.
With such prudent and honest fiscal
administration it is believed that the
needs of the government will in a
short time become compatible with a
considerable reduction of taxation.
IA pure, speedy and effective ad-
ministration of justice will be estab.
lished whereby may be eradicated the
evils arising from delay, corruption
and exploitation.

Helena, Jan. 11.-Judge Mcintyre
Of the district court this morning or
dered grand jury empowered to inves-
tigate the charges Of bribery in connee-
tion with the senatorial fight. The
court stated that he had received a
communication from the legislature
requesting that grand jury be called
to investigate the bribery charges. He
believed there was need for such a
body. The clerk was accordingly in
structed to draw fifteen names from
the box. By strange coincidence
the first name drawn from the box was
John A. Welcome, citizen of Helena.
All but one Of the prospective grand
Jurors live in Helena. The sheriff was
instructed to make return Saturday at
10 a. m.
There were no more developments to-
day in the further investigation Of
bribery. The joint committee is con-
tinued and will probably be heard from
later in the week.
Both houses met this morning and
after brief sessions adjourned until
