sion to Visit the Islands to Study
Conditions There Before Trying to
Frame System of Government.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. Congress
should at once take action in relation to
the Philippines" said Senator Morgan
last night. ''This action should be
taken in the discharge of the duty i'm
posed by section 1, article 4, Of the con-
stitution, which provides that the
United States shall guarantee to every
state in this Union republican form Of
government.
The senator said that this imposed q
distinct duty upon congress and the dis.
charge Of that duty by action looking g
to the establishment Of q Republican
form of government in the Philippines
would be TIE best answer possible to
the anti-imperialists.:
He explained that what he meant by
giving -epu blican form of government
to the Philippines was that the best
form of republican government known
in the world, which would be the best
form to be found among the ideal, and
that every step toward establishing q
government In the Philippines should
be an approach to this high ideal.
Senator Morgan favors congress.

pines to study the conditions there be.
fore attempting to frame system Of
government.
In the senator's opinion the United
States should have charge Of the exter-
nal relations Of the islands, of collect
ing and expending the revenues, and of
all matters relating to the islands as a
group, while the local affairs should be
confded as far as possible to the people
of the different localities. In this con.
nection, he spoke OF the township sys.
tenn of the New England states as the
highest ideal of local self government.
The question of who should have the
right to vote would have to be determ.
ined by congress, and in this connection
the senator called attention to the fact
that in the first instance the determine

the states and territories organized un-
der the United States is an arbitrary
act, in some placs men only being a.
lowed to vote, in others men and
women. and in others various qualifca-
tions being prescribed.
Existing laws should be continued in
force as far as they were good laws,
because the people understood them.
One change that would have to be made
would be 10 take away from the friars
and the religious orders their power Of
levying taxes on the people.
Senator Morgan is of the opinion that,
while the United States should under

painful illness, facial neuralgia.

anxious that the true state of the case
should be known, as she is unwilling to
accept any donations except those Of
fered as testimonials of love and ad-
r1iration for her husband.

Market Review.

,Prioe Mccormick 81 10. g Stcck Letter. }
New York, August io.--The fact that
the Bark OF England rate OF discount
contrary to expectations remained un-
changed today and the slightly higher
quotations for Americans In that quarter
had the effect CT causing considerable
strength in our market at the opening.
The strength was pretty well distributed
through the list, although there was very
litsie general activity. London however
has done little or nothing in today's mar
ket probably selling few hundred shares
on balance. AS a class the iron and steel
stocks have been among the strongest.
The continued favorable tradc conditions
as reflected in tho recent reports are re-
sponsible for this strength and in the
main their prices have been well main
tained. Wire scored an advance Of 1-2
per cent. 1t is expected that the COM
pany's statement win make an extremely
favorable showing and the bnying Of
both common and preferred this morning
was based on this expectation.
Atohison preferred continued to hold
its own In respect to strength and actis-
ity although buying which was In evil
dsnce yesterday has not ss yet made Its
appearance today. Commission houses
have been the principal buyers ef the
stock their customers following in the
wake of the so-called good buying of yes
terday. The movement In leather stocks
which started yesterday continues today
with even greater visor. The buying of
the stocks. especially the common is re-
markable. One commission house with
svery influential connection was buyer
of several thousand shares of the common
this morning. The street is full of tips
20 buy stocks and rumors are current that
the bank dividends VIII be paid ON the
preferred. Any return however to the
c1mmon shareholders seems TO be a long
way of, but 1t also seems quite probable
that 1t may be worked somewhat higher.
The standard railway shares are extreme
ly dull this morning but hold the ad-
vances of the early trading In spite Of this
inactivity. Money on call has been
around 8 l-2 per cent all the morning but
hold the advances of ths early trading in
spite of this inactivity. Money on call
has been around 3 I-2 per cent all the
morning. which wRs about yesterday 9
