President Mckinley gave dinner
as a farewell honor to the members of
the Philippine commission, who have
received their full instructions, and
who expect to sail from San Francisco
for Manila on the 10th inst, to be
absent about two years. This COM
mission will have more authority
than any other has ever been given,
although its acts will be nominally
under the authority of the secretary
of war. AS a matter of fact, the
commission can do whatever it thinks
best with the certainty that it's acts
will be endorsed by Secretary Root
and the President.
