Reason For Wanting to Leave Ills
Post at Pretoria.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-After call by
Congressman Tayler. ON Assistant Sec
retary Hill, Mr.. Macrum, ex.consul at
Pretoria, made call and had a confer
ence with Hill, Secretary Hay having
lett the department for the day.
His stay was short, only about 20
minutes perhaps, and he left DIR. Hill
as much in the dark as he had been be-
fore as to Mr.. Macrum's motive for
leaving Pretoria. Nor did it develop
whether or not Mr.. Macrum was the
bearer Of any message from Kruger.
He did not mention the subject to Dr..
Hille. He said he was tired, very tired;
ne had been five weeks on the sea and
road travelling constantly and begged
Cor time in which to prepare himsek to
report. He SAID nothing as to the reas.
Ons for appearing in Washingt IN, hut
asked that he be permitted to go TO his
home in East Liverpool, o., for few
days to attend to some matters of bust
ness. which were pressing, and to rest.
DR.. Hill had no objection. Mr.. Ma
crum promised to be back here soon,
perhaps before the end of the present
week, and said he then would make a
formal report TO the state department.
Leaving DIR. Hill, Mr.. Macrum went to
the consular bureau and secured the as
sent of Acting Chief Carr to postpone
ment of the settlement of his accounts
until his next visit to Washington. To
Mr.. Carr. also, Mr.. Macrum said moth
ing to throw light on his motives.
As he left the state department he as
sured the newspaper men vino stopped
him that If he had any statement at all
to make to the press land he was not
sure that he would have), he probably
would make it pubic upon his return to
Washington.
Some Of the persons here who were
familiar with his appearance when he
first went out to the Transvaal, said
that he looked very much broken, and
lacked the vim that formerly character
lied him.
Later he left here for his home in

First Volume of Commissions Report
Transmitted to Congress.

Transmitted to Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The president
transmitted to congress the first volume
of the report of the Philippine commits.
sion.
The commission announced itself un-
qualifiedly in favor of government OF
the Philippines and analogous to that of
territory Of the United States, with a
government appointed by the president.
They say that it is desirable that the in
habitauts of the archipelago should en-
JOY large measure of home rule in
local affairs, their towns to enjoy sub.
stantially the rights and privileges Of
towns III territories.
The provinces should be vested with
substantially functions of a county in a
territory; this system might be applied
to Luzon and the Viscayan islands at
once and beginning might be made on
the coast of Mindanao. The Sulu archi-
pelago, calling for special arrangements
with the sultan the commission say,
need not be considered in this connec.
ton.
The commission favors the retention
of the islands. The report contains a
letter from Admiral Dewey to Senator
Lodge, denying Aguinaldo was prom.
ised independence.

CHAMBERLAlN'S DEFENSE.
fication of His Course, In the
House of Commons.

HOUSE Oh commons.
LONDON, Feb. 6.--During debate in
the house of commons. Sir William
Vernon Harcourt said the war was due
to sharp reversal of British policy
and to needing the advice of wrong
people ~
Mr.. chamberlain then rose amid APP
plause 30 make his long expected speech
def ndin he governments course.
He claimed that the position of Har.
court and the opposition was incongru
Gus.
First they said the war was unjust
and condemned the government for that,
then they turned around, and now
blame the government for not prosecut.
ing the war vigorously enough.
Chamberlain admitted that mistakes
had been made, but the government had
honestly hoped for a settlement until
the last moment. These mistakes are
now being rectified. Soon the country
would have 100000 men of all arms. in
Guiding as many mounted infantry as
the Beers had. OF the whole foE ,e, that
OF the Colonials would soon be nearly
one-fourth.
Mr.. Chamberlain said that the gov
ernment forces would soon assume the
original plan of campaign which gave
every promise of success. AS to the
settlement of the trouble in Sou IL
Africa, ne promised that there would
never again be Majuba settlement
never again would British supremacy
in South Africa be threatened; never
again would Englishmen there bt
treated as an inferior race.
The war has taught both sides to re
spect each other, and he believed the
wounds would heal in time and that q
permanent peace would be secured.
Chamberlain's remarks were vigor-
ously applauded by the government sup
porters.
