PROF. JENKS REPORTS.
He Tells the War Department of His
observations in the Orient.

Washington, October 29.-The report
made by Professor jerks, Of Cornell
University, on his observations in the
English and Holland possessions in
the Orient was made public today by
the war department.
Professor jerks finds that notwith-
standi g considerable progress has been
made in the dependencies during recent
decades in no country visited has much
been done looking to the establishment
of self government. No where in the
dependencies Of England, Holland Or
France in the Orient has there been
granted, he says, so great measure Of
self government as the United States
already has given to the Filipinos.
Professor jerks, with respect to a
currency system for the Philippines,
inclines to recommend a fixed rate of
exchange with gold between the islands
and the United States, which is in ac-
cord with the suggestion of the Phil
ippine commission. A ton
is made that employers of labor be per-
mitted to intraduce Chinese laborers
into the Philippines under contract for
period of not over three years in each
individual instance.
Following the almost universal Gus
tom OF orental countries, it is suggested
that it would be best for the govern
ment to retain the title to lands and
lease them for somewhat long periods
so years of so-at a fixed rental, resery-
ing the right to revise the terms OF
rent at the end Of the period named.
