FREE FILIPINoS.

The President Wants Advice, But if
They Gan Govern Themselves
They Will Be Free.
New YORK, Jan 14.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent tele-
graphs: President Mckinley has de-
cided to send commission to the
Philippines to make thorough
study of the situation and advise
him as to what the policy OF the
United States should be regarding
those islands.
He has asked these gentlemen to
serve on the commission: Rear Ad-
miral George Dewey, commander
in-chief of the Asiatic squadron;
Major General E. S. Otis, Military
Governor of the Philippines; Pro-
lessor j. g. Schurman, president Of
Cornell University; Colonel Charles
DENLY, former Minister to China,
and now member of the War Iuvesti-
CATION Com mission, and Brigadier
General Charles B. Whittier Of New
York, recently on duty at Manila.
Admiral Dewey will be president
of the commission 1t is now only
a question as to whether or not the
gentlemen named will consent to
serve and as to the date when the
commission will start for the Phil
ippines.
The fact that Professor Schurman
has been summoned to Washington
to confer with the President indi-
Gates that Mr.. Mckinley contem-
plates appointing the commission
imme diately, though there is a prob
ability that he may wait for the rati-
fication of the peace treaty.
The President desires not only
Professor Schurman's views regard.
ing the future attitude of this coun-
try toward the Philippines, but his
advice as to the phases of the ques-
ton that ought to be considered by
the commission. Should he consent
to serve there will be little difficult y
in making up the rest of the person
mel of the commission, as all of the
other men named are thoroughly
familiar with and interested in the
subject and will doubtless be glad
to accept the service.
President Mckinley is not averse
TO the Filipinos having independ-
ence if it can be proven that they
are capable of maintaining sover-
eighty and control of the Philip
pines permanently, but he wants to
be sure of his ground before taking
any definite stand.

An Extra Session of Congress Ex-
pected.
New YORK, Jan. I6.-The Washing
ton correspondent OF the Herald
telegraphs: No army legislation
during the present session of Con
gress will mean an extra session of
the Fifty sixth Congress to secure
legislation to enable the President
to muster out the volunteers and
garrison the home and colonial
posts with regulars. This state
ment was made to me to day by
prominent member of the admins
tration who said that whether the
peace treaty should be ratified dur
ing this session or not there would
have to be army legislation II an
extra session was to be avoided.
The danger of failure to pass the
army reorganization bill lies in the
Senate, where its opponents may
prolong the debate until the end of
the session in order to defeat it.
They will be aided in carrying out
this program by the discussion of
the Eagan scandal and by the great
pressure of other business before
the Senate. The peace treaty will
take considerable time, especially as
it's opponents, who are practically
the same men who oppose the army
bill, will employ dilatory tactics on
both measures. The Nicaragua
canal bill is now unfinished business
before the Senate, and will probably
continue to be for at least another
week. The great appropriation bills
are nearly all Enacted upon. The
bill to establish the territorial gov
ernment OF Hawaii has not yet been
considered. The navy personnel
! bill will probably take some time.
and the usual number of miscella-
neous measures of all kinds will be
pressed for attention, In view of
this situation, if the opponents OF
the army bill are determining to pre-
vent action during the remaining six
weeks of the session they will be able
TO do 30,
