CIVIL GOVERNOR TAFT
TELLS OF PHILIPPINES

WASHINGTON January 31.-The in
vestigation into the conditions in the
Philippine archipelago apropos of the eff
fort to secure legislation for the govern
ment of these islands was begun by the
senate committee on the Philippines to-
day w. H. Taft civil governor of the
archipelago. was the first Witness called.
There was a full attendance of members
Of the committee and Senator Lodge.
chairman OF the committee, explained that
the committee desired not only the full
est information concerning the islands,
but any advice that Governor Taft might
offer concerning the questions at issue.
Governor Taft said be had gone to the
Philippines In the spring of 1900, and
had visited almost all the provinces dur
ing the past year He said that in all
the Filipino or Christian provinces there
is a form or civil government. There are
"a of these provinces. The Moros are all
friendly. except a few, who had never
been otherwise than hostile to the Span
iards. Even these were now being
brought over by the prospect of trade
of which they are very fond.
The COMMISSIONS tour of the island,
Governor TAM said. had only been under.
taken after the reelection of President
Mckinley, when the time seemed ripe
for the establishments Of local govern
ment in the islands. They presented to
the dignitaries Of the various places
visited an exploration Of the provincial
and municipal acts.
I'VE had some Lrss 4 = - he said, mot
from the rear platform Of the train, but
generally from the windows of the car.
He then gave in detail the proceedings
of the meeting at the various places Wis
tied, saying that some seventeen capitals
of the provinces were visited on the first
tour. At each place the delegates OF the
people were met, the prescribed special
act was passed and the governor appoint
ed, who was authorized to organize mu-
inequalities. These provincial govern
ments consisted, he explained, of gov
ernor, secretary, superintendent, treasur-
er and fiscal or prosecuting attorney
In all cases where the selection could be
made without arousiug Jealousies, natives
had been chosen. All these appointments
are temporary and next month their sue
cessors will be elected. When the fac
tons were too strong Americans were
placed at the head Of each provincial gov
eminent. In all cases the treasurer and
superintendent were Americans.
The commission had first given it's at
tention to the northern provinces, and in
April started south on a trip of ffty-four
days. They had been received most cor
daily everywhere. This latter remark
led the witness into a few discursive re-
marks upon the subject Of Filipino hos.
pitality.
THE Spaniards," he said, will always
tell you that his house is yours, but he
does not always mean that you should
take him at his word, but the Filipino
will tell you the same thing and he al
ways means what he says. He will turn
his family out and install you in his hab-
itation."

SPANISH WAR TAXES
WILL BE GIVEN KNIFE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-The house
committee on ways and means has unan-
imously authorized Chairman Payne 10
report a bill repeating all the Spanish
war revenue taxes except the tax on
mixed flour.
The repeal is to take effect July l.,
1902. except the duty on tea, which is to
take effect January 1, 1903 Chairman
Payne made a statement showing that
the total reduction would be 81 00G, 600
annually. The delay in the repeal of the
tax on tea is for the purpose of enabling
those who have stocks on hand to dis
pose of them before the repeal takes
effect. Mr.. Payne says the country will
start upon the next fiscal year with
$174. 900, 900 available cash.
An amendment was offered by Mr. New
lands to except from the repeal the tax
on petroleum and sugar refineries, and
by Mr.. Richardson to repeal the custom
duties on trust made goods, Both were
defeated by party votes. Mr.. Newlands'
amendment also provided for tax OF
one-tenth of one per cent on the gross
receipts of all corporations whose annual
receipts exceed $10,0000 600.

ALICE ROOSEVELT
WILL SEE 7 He
CORONATION
PRESIDENT CONSENTS TO LET
HIS DAUGHTER VISIT ENGLAND
TO ATTEND CORONATION
OF KING EDWARD.

WASHINGTON. Feb. miss Alice
Roosevelt told several of her girl friends
today that she would go to the corona
ton of King Edward as the guest OF
Whitelaw Reid. special ambassador from
the United States, says the Washington
correspondent of the New York World.
Nobody at the white house. would make
the announcement, but intimate friends
Of the Roosevelts confirmed the statement.
The party will sail June 5th from New
York.
The diplomats here are greatly inter
ested in the proposed. visit. 1t is the
opinion at the embassies that Court ETH
quette would be binding on Miss Roose-
welt. Ambassador Choate has been consult
ed about the matter.
Those familiar with the court proceed
ure say that Miss Roosevelt, as the
daughter of the president of the United
States. should be received with the most
distinguished honor 1t is held by these
experts that Miss Roosevelt would be out
of place merely as a young lady In the
suite of the special ambassador. The
hard-and-fast rules of a monarchy, 1t is
declared, make it necessary that she
should be recognized completely or not at
all.
In such event Miss Roosevelt would
rank with the princesses of the blood,
next to those i'm immediate succession to
a throne. She would therefore wear robe
of crimson, or, as Ii is called, royal pur-
pie She would be distinguished from the
peeresses by additional bands of ermine
and miniver. The princesses will wear
golden coronets. Miss Roosevelt would be
conspicuous in this group because she
would not wear coronet
If court etiquette should be strictly OBJ
served Miss Roosevelt would lodge at one
of the royal palaces. Diplomats here say
it would be impossible for her to travel
incognito because her presence in London
would be recognized by the royal family
and every mark of attention. and honor
would be extended to her.
The visit of Prince Henry to the Uni
ted States is not a parallel case. While
a blood relative of the Kaiser, he is not
directly descended from the reigning SOW
ereign. Therefore, the experts say, the
honor paid Miss Roosevelt would equal
that to be given the eldest daughter of
Emperor William, or Of the car him
self.
In it's possibilities for the exchange of
international compliments, the visit OF
Miss Roosevelt would exceed in import
anee that of Prince Henry. The oppor-
tunities for display of international amity
and cordiality would be greater. because
she is a young girl, and the Fluctuations
would be OF a much more subtle character
Miss Roosevelt has asked this favor OF
her father as a birthday gift. Her pre-
sentation at court, 1t is held, would ex-
eel in Importance that of any other
American woman. She would be treated
with cordially only extended to house
hold guests, and would appear at the first
drawlng-room after the coronation, her
actual presentation having been made pri-
vately.
