Report VIII Probably Be Ready Be-
fore February 1.
New York, Jan. ia special to
the Times frim Washington says:
About the last of January the Philip
pine commission will submit their full
report to the president. President
Schurman was at the White House
Thursday to announce that progress
was being made, and that before Feb
ruary the work of the commission will
be completed. The report made in
September was general one. in which
all the commissioners joined. In the
with separate subject. That of Pres
ident Schurman is on government for
the Philippines. He has considered
the matter fully and has discussed his
report with the president. 1t is as
sumed that such practical points as he
may offer will be brought to the atten-
tion of the appropriate committees of
the senate and the house.
As to the question of again sending
q commission to the Philippines, it has
been suggested in congress by both sem
ators and representatives that joint
commission of members might be
named for that purpose. 1t would be
very popular and also very expensive,
but it is insisted that it would be a
better way of preparing congress for
legislative action than the plan of maxi
ing up commission outside of con-
gress and expecting members of both
houses to read their report after it had
been made in order that it may become
informed. 1t is said that special
committee of members well-known
would be more interesting and impress
