COMMISSIONERS REPORT.
Home Rule in Local Affairs Fer The
Philippines.
FILIPINO
D CIVIL SERVICE.

New York, Feb 5--A resume of the
first half of the report of the Philip
pines commission has been published
here. The commission believes it
would be safe and expedient and de-
sirable to grant to the inha bitants of
the archipelago, home rule in local
affairs The towns should enjoy the
rights and privileges of towns in terri
tories of the United States. The
provinces should be turned into coun-
ties with the same functions as coun-
ties in the United States. This system
might be applied to Luzon and the
Visayan Island at once. It is intended
that the Filipinos shall govern the
towns and counties by self-e1ected
officers, subject to general laws. The
suffrage should be restricted by educa-
tional property qualifications,
both A small body of American Off
Gals of great ability and integrity
should be appointed, to advise the
town and county officials in the dis
charge of their duties. One commits
sioner for each $50, 900 natives might
suffice.
The commission advocates a second
class territorial government for the
archip e1ego, in which only a portion
of the legislative should be chosen by
the Filipinos. The commission would
have no American placed in office
when Filipino would do as well, and
the merit system should be Adopted for
the Filipino civil service. The finances
should be managed for the benefit of
the islands.
The scheme of government should be
put into effect as soon as possible.

Aside from this there is little news

is capable of relieving Ladysmith, so
that the talk of u fresh movement does

REVISION COMMISSION.
Revision or Pension Laws Favored By

Revision OF Pension Laws Favored BY
Evans
Washington, Feb. 6.-Commissioner
of Pensions Evans was heard by the
house committee on invalid pensions
relative to pension Legislation In
view of recent hearings of Grand Army
delegations and others interested in
pensions, the hearing attracted more
than usual attention Mr. Evans ex-
pressed the belief that the time had
come for a revision of the pension
laws The two general laws had be-
come complicated by many decisions
and constructions that he believed it
20 be essential to have a general re-
Vision in order to get at the real mean
ing of the law and the desires of
eyress toward the pensioners He had
therefore recommended a commission
to revise the pension laws, and he be-
ieved such body could do its work
and report to congress by next Decem-
Der.
