On Thursday the House took up the
Philippine bill, the debate on which
will last till next Thursday and posi-
bly, longer, for the reason that the spe-
cial rule under which the House is
working provides that, in the event
of any other business coming before the
House occupies more than one hour,
the time for the Philippine debate will
be extended by the same length of time.
Therefore the vote is not looked for UNI
til Friday. 1t now seems certain that
the House will pass the bill reported by
its committee on Insular Affairs and
that the differe nee between that meas
ure and the Senate bill will have to be
fought out in conference. The House
will make an earnest endeavor to Sc
cure the acceptance of its bill in the
place of the bill drawn by Senator
Lodge. The provision of the Senate
bill which provides for the continuance
of the silver standard Of the Islands is
especially obnoxious to many republi-
can members and they will bitterly
contest any effort on the part Of the Sen.
ate to throw out the gold PROVISION,
contained in the House measure.
