COIN FOR The FILIPINOS
Dollar Similar to Mexican and British is
Decided On.
GOVERNMENT BILL IS COMPLETED
Provides for Vintage in Philippines
and United states Subsidiary
Coinage of the
Island.

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The repub-
lican members Of the senate committee on
the Philippines held a meeting today and
passed finally upon the provisions Of the
Philippine government bill. The currency
question was the principal topic Of CONVEX
sation again today and the provision for
supplying the Philippines with a circulating
medium as prepared by the subcommittee
composed Of Senators Allison, Beverage
and Dubois was finally passed upon.
This provision. as has been heretofore
stated, is that there shall be coined a Phil
ippine dollar OF the same weight and fine
ness as the Mexican dollar and the British
dollar. The coin will carry an American
device on one side and an Oriental design
or the other. and It Is calculated that It will
IN time be a very popular coin throughout
the eastern world.
The amendment also provides for subsid-
iary coinage sufficient to meet the wants OF
the Philippine people. The coinage Of this
silver will be done In America and in the
PHILIPPINES. The full committee will meet
on Monday and II is the hope Of the repub-
lican members that the authority will then
be given to report the bill to the senate.
Places of Vintage.
The provision in regard to mintage is
that the Philippine currency shall be coined
in the Philippines as soon as facilities are
provided. but that in the meantime It may
be coined in the United States mint at San
Francisco. The dollar provided is made a
legal tender IN the Philippines, but not In
the United States.
The republican members, at their confer
ence. also considered the question Of auth
srizing a Legislative assembly for the Phil
ippines. but concluded TO omit all legisla-
ton Of that character. and also to make
no provision for delegates or commissions
ers In congress from the Philippines.
