New Philippine Commission

Washington, March 30.-The cabinet
was in session to-day for IN hour longer
tina usual and the leading topic of dis
cussion was the instructions to be
given the new Philippine commission.
These instructions it is learned
have not yet been formally communi-
Gated to the commissioners. but in all
probability they VIII be within a day or
two.
It is known, however. that it Is the
purpose of the president to make the civil
government of the Philippines represent
ed by the commission superior to the
military in all matters pertaining to the
government Of the islands not strictly
military in character. 1t is believed
Judge Taft, before he accepted the chair
manship of the commission had a per-
feet understanding with the president
as to the relation that should exist be-
tween the civil and military authorities,
and also that from the time the commits
sion arrives in Manila it's authority will
be supreme under the president as to all
matters of government.
Secretary Gage occupied some time
in making a statement of the receipts
He stated that since July l, 1899, there
had accumulated surplus of revenues
over receipts of about $50, O00, 900 ana
that by the end of June of this year
it would probably amount to over $780,
600. 900. This surplus is accounted for
by large receipts from customs, and by
a material reduction in the expendl-
lures on account of war.
The secretary is of the opinion that
the present rate of taxation might safely
be reduced to some extent and 1t was
with a view to a possible recommends
ton to congress by the president On the
subject thai the secretary made his
statement.
