national approval upon the Secretary's
colonial policy and furnishes effective
answer TO the pro- Boer faction.
The most surprising feature Of Mr..

route he would take. though the police
anticipated that it would be by the
Thames Em5aDllmeat and posted few
additional men here.

Mr.. A. M. Townsend Before

Recommends the Dollar Instead NJ

ons Therefor.

A VI Townsend. New York agent Of the
great British bank Of Honkong. was heard
by a subcommittee OF the Senate Philip-
pines Committee today with reference 10
the banking and currency system TO be
established in the Philippines.
Mr. Townsend's bank is the Bank Of
England o. the East. It's operations are
~ery large and it has branches all over
the world.
philippine DOIIar-v
Mr.. Townsend recommended to the
committee that Philippine dollar" he
adopted for the islands. to be similar
in weight and fneness TO the American
dollar. He said that such a coin would
circulate freely throughout the eastern
countries and facilitate trade between
the Philippines and ather countries.
The Philippine Commission has recon-
mended a Philippine peso and Mr.. Town
sent disagreed with their view. which is
said to be that Of Mr.. Charles A. Co
nant.
Would Remain at Home.
The idea Of a peso currency is that it
would remain in the Philippines and not
circulate elsewhere easily. This Mr.. Co
nant and the Commission are understood
10 consider desirable end to attain.
Mr.. Townsend suggested that if a dol
lar currency is adopted it would be we'll
to have one face Of the coin similar TO the
American dollar and the other a new
