NEW BILL BY SENATOR LODGE
FOR CONTROL OF PHILIPPINES

Washington. Jan. 7.-Senator Lodge
chairman of the committee on Philip
pines, will introduce bill for tenn
porary government of the Philippines,
drafted after many consultations with
War Department officials directly in
terested in insular affairs and the gov
ernment of the Philippines. The bill
will not be a part of the Philippines
revenue bill. which has passed the
House, but will be an independent
measure.
The bill does not attempt to establish
new form Of government in the Phil
ippines, but confirms the action Of
President Mckinley in creating a COM
mission. and ratifies the acts of that
commission under the instructions of
the President, dated April I, 1900. 1t
also gives the President authority,
while there is armed resistance in any
part OF the islands to the United
States, to regulate and control inter-
island commerce. Section 4. following
the Porto Rico act, gives the govern
ment of the Philippines power to i'm
prove the harbols and other instru-
ments of commerce. and section 5, also
following the Porto Rico act, turns over
to the government of the Philippines
all lands devoted now to public use,
bridges, highways. etc.
Under section q the government of
the Philippines is empowered to make
rules and regulations for the DISPOSE
ton Of public lands, such regulations
The Grit-advocate., 1902-01-10

to have the force and effect of law only
after they have been approved by the
President and Congress
Next come provisions in regard to the
timber lands, which are not to he sold
or leased by the commission. who have
power only to issue licenses to cut tim
Der under the forestry regulations now
in force in the islands. The provisions
in regard to the timber lands are fol
lowed by a number of sections as to
mineral lands. The mineral land sec
tions covers also coal lands and saline
lands.
One Of the most important provisions
in the bill is that empowering the Phil
ippine Commission to purchase the
lands of the religious orders and dis
pose of them on proper terms to the
actual occupants.
Municipalities and the city of Manila
are authorized to borrow money and to
issue bonds for municipal improve
mcnts. There are two sections which
provide for the granting of franchises,
so that individuals or corporations can
so into the islands and construct cleo
tric and steam railroads and engage in
industries and manufactures.
Provisions are embodied for estab-
fishing coinage system on the lines
Of Special Agent Conant's report. The
final sections of the bill make provis-
ion for banking system and author
iZe banks of the United States to be
established in the Philippines.

ILLUMINATING OIL is
STRUCK NEAR BOULDER

Denver, Jan. IA Boulder special
to the Denver News says: During Sun
day night oil was struck by the Head
light Oil Company on the ranch of
William Arnold, half mile northeast
Of the Mckenzie ranch, and three
miles from Boulder. Large bottles Of
the Oil were filled from the baler as it
came up about o'clock last evening"
Later there was considerable excite
ment in that locality and n large num-
Der Of bottles were filled with the fluid.
Manager Garfield telegraphed the good
news to President II. White and Secre-
tary Page of Colorado Springs and
they arrived here this morning. They
at once went out to the property where
the news was confirmed by more oil
being brought up. Oil was found at
depth Of 2,72O feet in hard shale
upon which but eighteen inches of sink
ing was done yesterday although the
drill was worked at full capacity. The
rope and drill as they came up were
reeking with OIL
1t is Of the same high grade illumin-
ating quality which was found in the
Mckenzie we'll at depth of 2,51O feet.
In that well, it will be recalled, the drill
had not cut through the shale or cap
well, but the oil began to ooze into the
hole from the sides, and evidently from
seams or slips from below. The com
pany was intending to go deeper when
they lost the baler and in subsequent
efforts to remove it from the hole the
well caved. The Boulder Oil Company
a majority of whose stock is controlled
by Thomas E. Poole, Lee Reynolds, DR..
J. n. Chipley, the state treasurer, and
others of Denver, then began the sink
ing of the new well with larger drill
and are now down about 200 feet.
To the northeast Of them for half
mile the Consolidated Oil Company,
whose members own large amount Of
stock in the Boulder Oil. began sinking
on the Arnold ranch. Having passed
the depth at which Mr.. Garfield struck
oil in the Mckenzie, the stockholders
were becoming Respondent but insist
ed on going farther through the cap,
and last night their efforts we're re-
warded.

SECRETARY LONG
DEFENDS THE NAVY

Washington, Jan. 7.-Secretary Long
has addressed to Senator knute Nelson
of Minnesota long letter defending
the Navy Department against what is
declared to be unfriendly criticism in
connection with the distribution of
prize money and bounty. The letter is
called forth by one from the senator
asking for information on this point
for the use Of a western newspaper.
The secretary declares that the crit
icism that the department has discrim-
mated in favor of Admiral Sampson
and against Admiral Schley in the dis
tribution of prize money and bounty is
unjust, because the department has no
control over this matter; the money be-
ing distributed from the treasury and
all questions of law and fact relative
to prize and bounty having been de-
terlninel by the courts. The secretary
calls attention to the laws touching
prizes and bounty as they existed at
the beginning of the Spanish war and
says that, though advised by the attor-
ney general that it might make distri-
button, the Navy Department preferred
to place the matter in the court of
claims, and so far from displaying
favoritism, adopted the most effective
means in it's power to secure just
determination by courts of law of the
rights Of all concerned.
Touching the claim Of Admiral
Sampson for bounty at Santiago. the
secretary says that the distribution
was made under a decree of the court
Of claims, which he cites. and from
which no appeal was taken. He fur
&c fbp, p3y
laws, the commanders n-chief of the
fleet is entitled to his "one-twentieth"
of bounty by virtue of his position as
commander-in- chief, whether he is per-
sonally present during the engagement
or not. Says the secretary:
"As commander-in-chief Admiral
Sampson would, therefore, under the
law. have been entitled to his share
Of the bounty for the destruction of
the Spanish ships at Santiago if he had
been on the north shore Of Cuba at the
time. This was the law. for which the
Navy Department is in no way re-
sponsible"
On this point the secretary says that
the department itself was the first to
realize the inequalities of this law and
to make the recommendation which
led to its repeal, SO that "a rather
amusing feature of the attacks made
upon the Navy Department" as the
secretary puts it. ''is that the admins
tration is blamed more than two years
after it had cured the evil" The Sec
retary concludes his letter with an ex-
tract from the report Of the auditor Of
the treasury for the Navy Department,
showing the status Of the prize money
and bounty cases yet unsettled, owing
to delays In the courts, and predicting
settlement within the year.
