government in the Philippines" ana

favorable report on the measure pre-
pared by the Republican members es-

eminent for the islands. Mr.. Cooper will
make the report tomorrow and will seek
soon thereafter to bring the measure
before the house. The chief interest to-
day was in the substitute proposed by
the Democratic members and prepared
by Representative Jones of Virginia. It
proposed eventual independence to the
Philippines, the islands to remain under
the Philippine commission until July 4,

Late Postmaster General Smith writes
in the Saturday Evening Post concern
ing the presidential candidates. in 1903.
Commenting on the declaration OF
southern ohiceholder that he would be
for Senator Hanna against President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Smith says: in these
eager and feverish days we live so fast
and So much in a twelve month that the
whole horoscope may change in two
years. But according to the present
lights. If Senator Hanna choose to IN
furl his banner he is the only man who
would be a serious competitor of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in the Republican ma
+fonal convention of 1904 AS a con-
testant for the nomination he would
have at least one distinct and formida-
bic element Of strength. He would car
nv the bulk of the southern delegates.
This would count for nothing in the
election. but it is an important factor
in the nomination. For seven years Mr.
Hanna has been the polar star of the
southern Republican politician. He or
ganized them prior to the convention OF
1896 and has magnetized them ever
since. Against adroit and industrious
ANTAGONISTS he captured their support
for Mckinley, and when he came into
mower he cemented their adherence with
efective use of the federal patronage.
President Roosevelt has proceeded on
entirely different lines In making his
southern appointments he has been
largely Indifferent to the politicians
heretofore recognized. and in most
cases regardless Of the organization"
