A FAMILY AFFAIR.
Visit of Governor Taft to New York
City.

New York, Feb. 11.-Governor Taft of
the Philippines, has arrived in this city
from Washington.
My visit to this city is purely a fam
lily affair." he said. I'VE have arranged
a kind of reunion-my mother and aunt
and my brothers family 1 probably
shall consult my physician within the
next few days, but nothing will be done
toward an operation until the Philip
pines committee has finished with me.
I am in improved health, but it looks
as if an operation will be necessary Ia
ter I am due before the committee on
Friday, SO l shall have to leave for
Washington on Thursday. Meanwhile I
am under orders to say nothing about
the Philippine situation. Mr.. Lodge
wished me. to discuss no phase of the
matter as long as am giving testimony
The prohibition includes the Philippine
tariff bill, President Schurman's speech,
the extent of the rebellion, reconcentra-
ton methods and. the Interpretation of
ultimate independence
Governor Taft consented, however, to
talk about native education. He said:
You will remember that it was pro-
posed to educate a few young Filipinos
at Yale as an experiment and perhaps
initiative. So far nothing has been done
But I had a talk with President Hadley
the other day in Washington, and 1 may
run up to New Haven soon, as the MAJ
ter is of Importance. OF course, the Gif-
ficulty IS that native can't be sud-
denly imported to this country and
thrust into the higher education. He
must be caught young and adequately
prepared. Looking to this end, we shall
have high schools in the island that will
be a stepping stone to our universities
But MIR. Atkinson. superintendent of
the schools, tells me that high schools
will not be possible until next year at
least. In the meantime he is pushing
ahead with primary schools. It is desir-
able, however, that a set of young lead
ers, who can return to the islands. be
educated in this country as soon as it is
practicable,i in order that they may learn
the unity of American institutions and
get grip on American life
Il have given my promise to return to
the islands by May l, which will mean
my leaving this country on April 1.
hope l shall be able to keep that prom

A VITAL QUESTION.
Are Andrews Certified Checks
Legal or Not?

Detroit. Feb. 1.-THE most vital ques-
tion to the depositors of the wrecked
City Savings bank is whether the
checks Cashier H. r. Andrews certified
for F. c. Andrews when he had no
funds in the bank, amounting to $685.,
600 and which the latter deposited
among four other local banks and a
trust company are legal. If they are
held to be Illegal because of Cashier
Andrews having certified to them with
out the knowledge of the directors it is
thought the assets of the City Savings
bank with what has been turned over
to it by f. c. Andrews will be sufficient
to pay depositors in full. On the con-
trary, if they are held to be legal, it
will take just that amount from the de-
poSitorS.
President F. c. Pingree said today
that he believed that the checks would
be decided illegal and that the deposit
orS would receive at least rs per cent
on the dollar. In the statement pre-
pared yesterday of the banks condition,
these certified checks were ignored
F. c. Andrews has not turned over to
the city bank any of the securities he
took out of the other banks with the
over-certified checks and their where
abouts is not known. Nothing could be
learned in regard to them by the bank
ers who questioned him yesterday.
There was not much change early today
in the condition of Cashier H. r. An
drews who is seriously ill with nervous
prOStrat ton.

More Than Two-thirds of the
United States Senators
Support a Joint Resolution to
Change Inauguration Day.
MAKES CONGRESS END
At the Same Time, Last Thurs
day in April.
Teller Continues His Speech on
the Philippines Bill.

Washington, Feb. 11.-At the conclus-
ion of routine business in the senate
forty minutes were devoted to the con-
sideration of bills on the calendar, ex-
elusive of private pension bills.
Upon the request of Mr.. Hoar the SEN
ate proceeded to the consideration of a
joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States respecting the commencement
and termination of congress, changing
the date of the Inauguration of the
president and vice president from March
4 to the last Thursday in April at noon.
the commencement and terminal ton of
congress to occur at the same time
Mr.. Stewart protested against the
passage of the resolution by vote, the
senate overruled his objection and
two-thirds vote.
Among the other measures passed
were the following:
Appropriating $50, 900 for a public
building at Gainesville, Tex, to estab-
liSh a SUPPORT of entry at Naco, Ariz.,
appropriating $4,000 for fog signal and
keepers dwelling at Piedras BlancaS,
Cal; approprla ting $40, 600 for a. nOnu-
ment to the memory of Dorothea Lind
Dix to be erected at Hampden, Me-;
resolution recognizing the able and gal
liant services of Captain Francis Tuttle,
revenue cutter service, his officers and
men of the Bear; also the heroic ser
vices of Lieutenant ]. A. Jarvis, and
DR.. Samuel J. Calve composing the
overland expedition to Point Barrow
via the Arctic ocean, for the relief of
the imperiled whaiers.
At l o'clock consideration of the Phil
ippine tariff bill was resumed. Mr..
Teller, who had the floor when the SEN
ate adjourned yesterday, concluded his
speech. He did not think the holding
of the Philippine islands by this gov
ernment ever would be profitable, and
he could see readily that it might prove
dangerous. 1t was contrary to our
principles to hold any people in sub
lection by force. Nobody, he said, was
likely to question the right of the
United States to hold the Philippines
no nation would dare to raise such a
question, That question might be
raised in congress but nowhere else. He
felt that profound mistake had been
r1ade in our early treatment of the peo-
pie of the islands, but the question he d
do what was right. Nobody believed,
he insisted, that the United States could
enforce upon the Philippines our gov :
ernment or our civilization Those peo-
pie were of a different race from the
AngloSaxon, and such a government
would not be desirable for the F'ilipiilos
IN THE HOUSE.
Washington, Feb. u.-Some routine
business preceded the resumption of the
consideration of the oleomargarina bill
in the house today. The senate amend
ntents to the pension appropria ion bill
were non-concurred in, and the bill was
sent to conference.
General debate having closed yester-
day on the oleomargarine bill it was
read for amendment under the five
minute rule.

KAY'S SUIT OF CLOTHES
One He Wore on Night of MUIR
der Is Missing.

The story that suit of clothes be-
longing to James Kay was missing
from the house where his wife was muir
dered, was mentioned by the prisoners
father today, and was evidently looked
upon as a possible item in the defense,
by forwarding the idea that Mrs. Kay
was not murdered by her husband, but
by someone with robbery in view.
This suit of clothes could easily have
been the one worn by. Kay when the
murder was committed, and subsequent
ly burned in the stove, which contained
a hot fire when the neighbOrs discovered
the murder, because they were Spatter-
ed with the blood of his victim.
1t is evident however. that Kay will
plead not guilty and make a fight, US
ing every possible straw to build a de-
fense. He has, through his attorneys,
denied that he made a confession to
Jailer Carl Lawson, to the effect that he
had killed his wife with a fiatiron, but
Lawson will swear to his statement as
made before the coroner's jury as often
as necessary.
His attorneys will probably ask for a
continuance of the preliminary hearing
which was set for Friday, as they do not
think he will be in "a condition to ap-
pear although he is new able to sit up,
and occasionally walks around the cell.
A man who had made arrangements
with Mrs. Kay to buy the furniture in
the house called to see Kay yesterday
but he refused to talk to him about
anything.
