The situation Is very much the same
in the Philippines as in Cuba. Order
is less completely established there.
and the people have had an even short
er experience In = partial seaf:govern-
ment. Under present conditions they
must be dealt with by the executive
department, and unless the provisional
report Of the Philippine commission
Ii made the text for temporary laws,
there is no special need just now Of
further action by Congress.
The case Of Porto Rico. like that Of
Hawaii, II one that demands more Inn
mediate attention. No provision has
been made by the Congress for an ex-
tension to this island Of our revenue
laws; 70 that the exports Of the island
have to pay duties at our ports, like
those Of foreign country. The island
il ripe, also, for . provisional govern
ment, mainly under civil instead Of
military officers, and the Congress will
no doubt make some provision for this
need.

The individual took FaIes into an OBJ
scure corner, handed him dollar, and
said:
