Philippine Commission to Make One
Shortly.
THE PRESIDENT HAS ASKED IT
VIII Unanimously Recommend Re-
tention of the Islands.
CON T. E r E n CE TODAY Y

A preliminary report of the Philippine
commission will be submitted to President
Mckinley within a few days and will at
once be made public.
The President asked for this report this
morning, when he formally received the
four members of the commission who are
in this country-President Schurman, Ad-
miral Dewey, Col. Charles DENLY and Prof
Dean c. Worcester. The other member Of
the commission is Gen. Otis. He has au-
thorized one of the members to act for him
by proxy.
The members of the commission went to
the White House at 10 o'clock, and re-
NAMED with the President about an hour
Formal Report Will Be Delayed.
The President had heretofore learned
from individual members Of the commits
sion that the formal report Of the commits
sion could not be expected for some time,
as the commission desires to make a report
which will furnish enlightenment to the en-
tire country on every phase of the Philip
pine question. AS this report cannot be
ready for three or four weeks, the Presf-
dent said he would like a preliminary re-
port This report is to briefly cover much
of the entire field, but will be specific on
certain points.
The President, 1t was stated by members
of the commission, had asked that the re-
port furnish him information on certain
points on which he desired official enlight-
enment. One of the main reasons for ask
ing Tor this information is to use it in the
preparation Of his annual message TO Com
gress. AS heretofore stated in The Star
an important part of the coming message
is to be devoted to the Philippine question
and recommendations will he made. The
formal report of the Philippine commits
sion will be submitted to Congress about
the same time as the message.
Commission VIII BE Unanimous.
1t is understood, that the commission will
be unanimous in Its recommendations that
the sovereignty of the Philippines remain
permanently in the United States. allow
ing local self-governmeut as the natives
show themselves capable. 1t will show
that the United States at no time could
have honOrably Withdrawn from the Phil
ippines. The maintenance of American
sovereignty will be recommended as
sential to the commercial development of
the islands and the growth of American
trade in the east.
The feature Of the preliminary report
will be it's unanimity. Admiral Dewey does
not differ from the other members as to
retaining possession of the islands.
The suggestion has been made that the
political effect of the publication of the pre-
iminary report will be helpful to the re-
publicans in all states where a hot fight IS
making on the administration attitude in
the Philippines. 1t is not supposed that the
President had this in view when he asked
for the report. but there is no doubt that
from political point of view the document
will be highly interesting.

BERLIN, June 2.-The reichstag, con-

Where there are extenuating circum.
stances, a fine Of 1000 marks will be

An important advancement was made

posals were examined with the result
that the United States will support the
Pauncefote scheme for a permanent tri-
bunal.
In all practical and essential features
the British and American plans are
identical, but the American delegates
have gone further, covered the whole

TRUST UPHELD
According to a Decision by the
New Jersey Supreme
Court,
Certain Forms Of Combination in
Restraint of Trade Are
Legal.
The Particular Form Upheld in
This Case Was 2 Selling
Agency.
Decision Directly Opposed to
Chancellor McGilIS Coal
Trust Ruling.

New YORK, June 2.-The New Jersey
supreme court has rendered a decision,
said to be the first in this country, in
favor of a trust. The decision was given
in the suit Of the New York Trap Rock
company against Brown i Fleming.
About two years ago there was brisk
competition and rivalry between the
owners Of quarries and a trust was
formed. Several Quarries were absorbed
and prices were advanced. A part Of
the agreement was that only the agent
of the trust could sell the stone and a
penalty of s., 900 was prescribed for vio-
lating this clause of the contract. There
was some dissatisfaction and Brown &
Fleming accepted an order for q large
quantity Of stone. The trust demanded
the penalty Of $1,000, but the firm re-
fused to pay the forfeit and decided to OPP
pose the trust. The company instituted
suit for the amount Of the penalty.
Brown & Fleming fled a demurrer. set
ting forth that by the declaration Of the
plaintiff the company admitted it was a
trust, that it was an illegal combination
formed for the purpose Of destroying
competition aud to control the prices of
trap rock. The supreme court has given
q decision overruling the demurrer.
The court holds that a contract that
a single person shall be employed as the
sole agent Of the manufacturers to sell
all their output does not violate any
principle Of law and may be enforced.
1t was a decision Of the entire court
and was a surprise to many lawyers,
as the coal combine had been dissolved
by Chancellor McGill a few years ago
for the same reasons that We're advanced
in the demurrer.
