TAFT'Se TALK TO BEAR FRUIT
speech On Philippines FGture to BE
Followed by Effort TO ChanGe
Labor Laws.

WASHINGTON, Sept. lit Is the opin-
ion at the, War department that Governor
Taft's remarks at the Board Of Trade ban
quet in Manila yesterday respecting the
employment Of labor on plantations will
from the basis OF q suggestion to congress
at the mex session that the act extending
the Chinese exclusion laws to the Philip
pines be amended.
1t is contemplated to remove the iron
clad restriction which now exists and
clothe the commission with power to reg
ulate the entrance OF Chinese labor. The
commission itself has already given some
attention to this subject, and 1t IL believed
that Prof. Jenhs' investigations into the
labor problem IN the Straits settlements
and elsewhere IN, the Orient meet with its
Approval. stss,
The proposed regulations, It is said. will
look to a wisely regulated system OF adj
missions of Chinese as plantation laborers
under suficient bonds in each case, under
proper systems Of Identification and a con-
dition that they shall leave the Philip
pines after a certain specified period of
time. Such ~resulations as exist in Hawaii
for the proper care of the coolies would
be incorporated.t Governor Taft's repre-
sensations onsfhis subject yesterday were
in answer to pressing demands from the
American Chamber. Of Commerce and en-
ployers Of 1aborers in the Philippines for
relief from present conditions, which, II
is thought, prevent the development of the
country. UA

TARIFF RETURNS TOO SMALL
Importati0ns from the Philippines Do
Not Make the Expected Yield to
40 the Treasury. ,o

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-surpris,ng re-
suits have followed the compilation Of tar
rim returns on goods imported from the
Philippine islands during the first FIVE
months of the Operation OF the Philippine
tarif act, approved March 8, last. Under
that act 76 per cent Of the Dngley rates
were to be collected on Philippine imports
into the United, States, and this was to be
held as a trust fund In the United States
treasury. Although. when the act was
passed 1t was realized that the imposition
of any duties Of this kind would be restrict
I've OF trade, 1t was argued that as the re-
turns would be somewhere in the neighbor-
hood OF 100000 per annum, that consider
alton would outweigh the drawbacks OF
maintaining u tRrif system against the
Philippines, The returns Just published In
the treasury show that the. total receipts
for the five months, Of March, April, May,
June and July were but 81 s194s a sum SO
small in the opinion Of. the ~oficlais as to
scarcely meet the cost Of collection. More
over the returns by months do not show
any increase, but rather a decrease in the
collections. These facts will be brought to
the attention Of ongress at its next seq
sion.
