FUTURE OF PHILIPPINES.
Gov. Taft Outlines American Policy
Toward the Island.

A dispatch from Manila, last night says:
Gov. Taft was given a banquet by the
American Chamber of Commerce of Manila
last night. In an address replying to a
toast the governor discussed the future of
the Philippines. He said the United States
would retain the islands indefinitely with
the view of educating the Filipinos to a
state of self-government and other condi-
tions. which would enable them to decide
whether they desired to become independent
or be made into a state like Canada or
Australia under Great Britain. Gov. Taft
said he believed the relationship between
the two peoples would be continued, and
that the Americans were here for the benefit
of the Filipinos. He said the Americans
did not desire the Philippines for selfish
purposes, and promised that American capt.
tai would get fair treatment here.
Continuing, the governor expressed his
belief that commercial interests must ulti-
mately rely upon Filipino labor, although
a temporary relaxation Of the immigration
restrictions was possible. He said the
United States Philippine commission would
again recommend Congress to give the Phil
ippine Islands a gold standard OF currency,
as the present fuctuating silver standard
was a decided disadvantage to everybody.
Luke e. Wright. who acted as civil gov
ernor of the islands during the recent alb
sence OF Judge Taft, also spoke at the
chamber of commerce dinner. He expressed
the opinion that the true future OF the
islands depended upon the admission Of
Evening star., 1902-09-01

their products to American markets. Com
missioner Wright regretted that the Philip
pine question had been made a foot ball in
American politics.
The Sultan of Binidayan, who was he'd
as a hostage by the American forces al
Camp Nickers, Island of Mindanao, at
tempted to escape from his guards last
Thursday and was shot and killed by a
sentry. The sultan had been arrested after
the recent murders of American soldiers IN
Mindanao, and was being held pending the
surrender of the murderers.
AS a result OF the war, agriculture is at
present seriously depressed throughout the
Philippine Islands. Gov. Taft estimates the
area under cultivation this year at half
that of an ordinary year Many districts
are badly impoverished.
The cholera is increasing. Last Satur-
day $40 cases were reported in the prov
inces. The total reported up TO date is
27S29 cases, and 1860 deaths from the
disease.

by which in some of the best intentions
such mistakes become possible.
The czar, or Emperor Nicholas II, as he
Is known. is a young man of thirty to
thirty-ive, of fine figure and a face of
kindly. genial expression, which time will
mellow and develop into a manly beauty
not unlike that of our martyred President
Mckinley.
He is worshiped by his people; a most
hlial son to his mother, the Empress Dow
ager Dagmar, and never so happy as when
