In the near future to plan for system
attic opposition. Congressman Burkett,
who has given considerable study to
the Nebraska situation, in talking
about the matter said: There is no
doubt but that the general sentiment
is against increasing the roll of mem
bership in the house. Members think
the house is already large enough and
is unwieldy and undoubtedly strong
effort Will be made to keep the total
down to what 1t is now, but there may
be some things to overcome this senti-
mentwhen we get down to a discussion
of the question. 1t must not be forgot
ten that upon the apportionment now
made will depend, the electoral college
for the next ten years, as
well as the makeup of
the house. and ii will be very easy to
legislate an Increase of several members
for either party in the electoral college.
or course, I surmae that the republi-
cans will try not to give the democrats
any unnecessary advantage in numbers
in either place. II the present member

Not one of Jernigan's men was wound

The hall occupied by the United States
commission was crowded yesterday. tho
occasion being the public discussion of
the Manila liquor license bill. The sec-
ton providing for banishing saloons
from the Escolta and down town plazas
was strongly criticized. Judge Taft ex-
planned that the Enited States courts
had settled the right of the police and.
the powers to limit he sale OF liquors
and yet the places where they were sold
were unlimited. He declared that the
condition of the Escolta, owing to the
presence OF saloons, was disgraceful.
The judge admitted that 1t was hard
fs,ip to some, but he denied that injus
tice was being done. The licenses expire
in January and the section of the bill.
requiring removal will take effect In
April.
The bill provides for license OF 900

Won Buelow. informed the centrists that
their bill in regard to the free exer-

the federal government, which. while re-
specting the convictions whereon twas
based. saw in the proposal an intention
TO restrict the cons stitutional independ-
ence OF the states in matters reserved
for their individual legislation.
Count Won Buelow hoped the dispari-
ties possibly existing in the laws of the
different states would be remedied, but
as chancellor his first duty was not to
allow the federal character of the en-
pire and the autonomy of the members
of the federation to be prejuliced with
out the consent of the Individual states.
