lt looks more like peace in the
Philippines now than il has heretofore.
A commission from Aguinaldo's
government has been in Manila
several days conferring with the
schurmann peace commission. 1t
first asked once more for an armistice
so that the Filipino Congress could act.
Gen. Otis refused this. Then the
American commission for the first time
outlined to the native envoys the form
Of government which our government
proposes to establish for them. until
such time As Congress shall take diff
terent action. Under this scheme the
president will appoint a governor
general, who will appoint a cabinet
The president will appoint the judges
of the courts. but the members of the
cabinet and the Judges NAV be either
Americans or Filipinos, or both
There will also be a general advisory
council which will be elected BY the
Filipinos. The Filipnos asked many
questions and appeared to be pleased
with the plan, but could not answer
until they could return and consult
their principals. 1t is very likely that
they will approve and the trouble be
settled early. There were some mill
tary operations last week Gen. Law
ton moved on and captured SAN Isidro,
one of the native movable capitals,
without much loss. The insurgents
seem TO be disintegrating day by day
and there is only a small force left in
the north. The rainy season is about
to open and further field operations
are not likely TO be extensive. There
is still a large force of insurgents
south Of Manila, but they are satisfied
when let alone.

can people to puzzle themselves on er
as to whether the proper substitute for
centralized executive power is a re-
fractory disposition in the Legislative
branch.
There should be an active effort made
to get the administration and the sen
ate together where a foreign policy is
to be pursued. Only a vigorous policy
will inspire the respect necessary TO
maintain the standing won by the
United States in the recent var.
All parties should confer with the
president on such questions. The lead
ers should unite with the administra-
ton upon a definite line of action, wien
action is to be taken, upon a definite
line of inquiry when Investigations are
necessary before action is taken. 1t
will result in a gain to patriotism
when political contention can be retired
from consideration in the dealings of
his with other governments.
A non-partisan foreign policy may re-
some of the excitement from the
national capital; it may opportu-
mites to criticise the administration 10
be neglected; but all the losses to par
lies would have an-offsst in he CORE
spending advantages which the naticn
as a whole would derive.
