FRIENDS OF TIE FILIPINoS.
Two Democratic Senators Introduce
Resolutions for Independence
of the Islands.

Two Democratic Senators Introduce
Resolutions for Independence
of the Islands.
WASHINGTON, Dec 1s.--What the sem
ate may accomplish in the way Of iegis-
lation for the Philippines during the pres
ent session is probiematic. but that the
question will be thoroughly discussed Is
indicated by the number of resolutions
bearing upon It being produced. In oppo-
sition of the retention by the United States
of the Philippine islands two resolutions
were introduced today. one by Tillman and
the other by Bacon. Each resolution pur-
poses to yield the islands to govern
ment to be established by the Fiiipinos
themselves.
Morgan addressed the senate briefly upon
the necessity OF legislation to control trusts
and had his joint resolution again referred
to the judiciary committee.
Bishop John F. Hurst. of the Methodist
Episcopal church, pronounced the invoca-
tion at the opening OF the senate's session.
President Pro Tenn. Frye presented a me-
mortal, deliberately bound and engrossed,
OF the citizens Of Hawaii. adopted ut a
meeting in Honolulu on July last. The
memorial recited that much uncertainty
existed ewing to the failure OF congress
to provide form OF government for the
Hawaiian islands, and asked that the ter
ritorial laws of the United States be ex-
tended to Hawaii. The memorial was re-
ferred to the COmmittee on facinC Isle
ands and Porto Rico.
Mason presented numerous petitions ex-
pressing sympathy with the South African
republics in their war with Great Britain.
Tillman offered resolution declaring
that under the constitution the Federal
government has no power to rule over CO.
lonial dependencies. and maintaining furth-
er that we are opposed to the retention
of the Philippine islands by the United
States, and that II Is our purpose to con-
sent to the independence Of the Fi.ipinos
as soon as stable government shall Re
established by them and toward tine prompt
establishment Of such government we lend
our friendly assistance"
Tfllman asked that the resolution lie
on the table. as he desired to address
the senate upon 1t.
Thurston presented the credentials OF
his recently appointed colleague, former
Senator w. v. Allen, and they were read.
Gov. Poynter's commission names Allen
as senator until his successor should be
elected and had qualified. To this Chan
dler took exception, pointing out that
Mr.. Allen could hold his seat only until
the legislature should meet.
"Of course" said Chandler, that part
OF the credentials must be regarded as
void"
hibit combinations between corporations
to control interstate commerce and trans
portation." Morgan said he regarded the
evils called trusts as all included in the
combinations OF persons to control trade.
What an individual could accomplish In
trade was regarded as legitimate, but
when great corporations were aggregated
together to control any given branch of
trade or commerce or transportation 1t

hibition. applied for by the city of Taco

bark REPORTED WRECKED.
Indications Are That 1t II the Mis-
sing Vessel COlusa.

VICTORIA. b. c., Dec. 1S.--According to
advices from the western coast of this isl.
and 1t Is probable that the distressed bark,
reported ashore near Point Bonilla. on
November IS, was the long missing Colusa,
which sailed from Honolulu on October .
for Esquimalt and that, releasing herself
from the rocks, the fated craft soon after
foundered with Capt. Ewarts, his wife and
crew. THIS conclusion has been reached
by several recent arrivals from the coast
and is, In measure, corroborated in a
report from Lightkeeper Daykin, OF Car
manah, who tells Of the stranding and sub
sequent release of a vessel answering the
description of the Colusa. The Indians at
Dodge's cave report that a vessel foundered
off there. 1t was supposed that that was
the abandoned bark Lbertad, but there is
a strong probability that 1t was the Colusa.

viii not appoint McNicol. If elected
mayor" The assertion that no promises
have been made in the campaign does not
cover the case.
Men are working on McNicel to get him
to consent to the announcement: Il viii
not appoint D. A McNicol." This, 1t is
explained to McNfcol would not jeopardize
his chances in the least, as he would be
appointed just the same. But McNicol
doesn't Ike that sort Of statement. He
might be willing to sign a statement that
Mr.. Tapp had not promised him anything,
or TO have Mr.. Tapp announce that ne
had not promised McNicol nothing, but
for Mr.. Tapp to come out squarely and say
he would not appoint him if elected, is, in
McNicors opinion, going a little too far.
But the men are working on him and
may get him 70 consent to al least reIin-
quish his cinch until after the election.
But it is hard job, for he knows Mr.
Tapp wants him for chief of police and
believes that it is not Taps trick, but a
trick Of Jim Dorsey and his crowd.
