PLENTY WATER.

Mr.. Andrew Brown Has Addressed
the Following Letter to the
Advertiser.
Editor Advertiser:-In the Bulletin
of yesterday l see there is an offer of
more water for the city of Honolulu.
Mr. Richardson, superintendent of the
Pahaa Water Works, offers the city
three million gallons per day. So far
as the city of Honolulu is concerned
the Government pumps are capabl@ of
supplying all the water required for
the city and for fires. This has been
amply proved during the past week
with only the Beretania street pumps
running. The Makiki pumps are in
good order and can be started at any
time in one hour, should the Beretania
street pumps break down.
If Mr.. Richardson would give us
three million gallons of water up Nuu-
anu valley, where it is wanted, l would
only be too glad to further the offer he
has made. What is wanted is a large
reservoir above Luakaha that will hold
six months supply of water, with a
filter plant, say of four million gallons
per day; then the rate payers on the
higher levels will have good water and
plenty of it, and there will be album
dance of water-power to run the lights
and pumps. There will then be no
necessity for using coal as at present.
-'lans were made seven or eight
years ago for a reservoir in the valley
and it is hoped that the day is not far
distant when they will be used for that
greatly needed improvement.

Superintendent Honolulu Water Works.

NEW PHILIPPINE COMMISSION.
Judge Taft to Head the Body that
Will Institute Civil Rule.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The Presi-
dent today appointed Judge William
H. Taft of Cincinnati, United States
Judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit, to
be president of the new Philippine
Commission. Judge Taft's place on
the bench will be filled by the APP
pointment of Judge Henry F. Sever
ans of Grand Rapids, Mich. These an
nouncements- were made at the close
of the Cabinet meeting today.
Judge Taft called at the War De-
partment today in company with
Judge Day, late Secretary of State. and
had long talk with Secretary Root as
to the plans of the commission. AS
some surprise has been caused by the
willingness of Judge Taft to surrender
a life position of the dignity and emol-
ument of a United States Circuit Judge
to join the commission, it may be
said that the prevalent impression is
that as soon as the commission shall
have succeeded in replacing the exist
ing military government in the Phil
ippines with stable civil government
Judge Taft will be named as the first
civil Governor General of the archipel-
ago.

COLONIAL RULE IMPRAcr1oABLE
Shurman Commission Favors Terri
torial Form For Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Feb 2.--In its re-
port to the President the Schurman
Commission announces itself unquali-
fiedly in favor OF government of the
Philippines analogous to that of a ter
ritory of the United States with Gov
ernor appointed by the President
They say it is desirable that the inhab-
itants of the archipelago should enjoy
a large measure of home rule in local
affairs, their towns to enjoy substan-
TALLY the rights and privileges of
towns in a territory. The provinces
should be vested with substantially
the functions Of county in terri
tory; this system might be applied 10
LuZon and the Viscayan Islands at
once, and beginning might be made
on the coast of Mindanao. The Sulu
archipelago calling for special arrange
ments with the Sultan, the Commits
sion says need not be considered in
this connection.
The Filipinos could manage their
own town and county affairs through
their own officers, whom they could
ficials except such as would be involv-
ed in control from the central govern
ment at Manila. The suffrage should
be restricted by educational or proper
ty qualifications or both. This system
would necessitate small body of
American officials of great ability and
of integrity and of patience and tact in
dealing with other races, and ,on this
account the Commission recommends
that they should be paid high salaries.
