THE pHrLIPPINE REVENUE.
Tafs Continues Bis Statements Befors the In
vestigating Commi tee
tBy the Associated Press.)

fBy the Associated PfeSS)
Washington. Feb THE Senate Com
mittee ON Philippines today continued It's
consideration of the question of revenue
of the Philippine Islands, Governor Taft
still being on the stand. He began his
statement with an explanation of that
portion of his testimony of yesterday TO
the effect that sentiment was the main
reason for asking substantial reduc-
tion of the rates of the Dingley law so
far as they apply TO the Philippines,
saying he feared that the statement
might be misunderstood. He was sure
the political effect of such reduction
would be good, but that there would be
any immediate substantial effect, he did
not think was true, regardless of the
statement made in his official report
that such a reduction would cause an
advance in trade by leaps and bounds. =
In response to a suggestion from Sen
ator Culberson. Governor Taft said he
did not think the bin providing tariff
between the United States and the Phil
ippines should be temporary as was the
case with reference TO the Porto Rico
bill
speaking OI the new ISfShuC plii pass
ed by the Philippine Commission. he
said that so far the effect is conjectural
but that 1t was hoped the amount under
the impetus 1t would give TO trade would
soon equal the returns secured under
the old law, which was sS0o0,000 or $10.-
900, 600.
Governor Taft explained the contracts
which have been let for harbor improve
n1ents, involving an expenditure OF
50 900. and in response to questioning
by Mr. Hale said that contracts also had
been let for the construction
of twenty launches or small seagoing
boats for the purpose of transportation
of mail of provincial officers. The cost
for these boats will be $1,000, 900
Governor Taft asked for power to pass
general corporation laws. He thought it
would be wise for Congress
TO give to the commission some discre-
tionary power in the matter
of building of railroads. Governor
Taft said there was nothing more inn
portant for Congress- TO do than
TO authorize the purchase of the lands
held by the friars Nothing save the
Filipinos so much trouble as the friars.
1t was hoped that the friars would go to
other countries If their lands We're pur-
chased, but there was no power to evict
them.

Long Distance Courtships.

Sketching one day in Burma, an
English artist noticed man little
distance off glazing fercely straight
ahead at him at some object he could
not see from his position. The man
sat with the same fixed glare the whole
afternoon and was at it again next
morning. The artist had the curiosity
to ask an English visitor what it
meant. The reply was, ooh, he is in
lover And it was explained that this
was their method of courtship.
The object of the mans attentive
gaze was a girl in a neighboring ba-
Zaar. When young man falls in love,
he has to seat himself. at a certain dis
lance from his adored one and wait
for her to do the rest. If she looks in
his direction once or twice on the first
or second day, he is wildly encouraged,
and if on the third day she mods to
him and smiles it is time to go to the
parents with reference to the marriage
settlements.-Lond Tit-Bits.
