TAFT'S TESTIMONY.
Today He Told Senate Committee of
the Religious Side of the Natives
The independence Sentiment.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Among other
questions pertaining to the Philippines
discussed by Governor Taft today in
his testimony before the senate COM
mittee on Philippines was the attitude
Of the religious sects toward one an
other. He said generally the relation
ship is friendly and evangelical
churches are seeking to secure foot
hold in the islands. He also referred
to ecclesiastical courts, saying under
Spanish rule members of religious or
ders could elect to have civil cases
in which they were concerned tried
in those courts rather than in the reg
ular tribunals. In reply to questions
he said from twenty five to fifty per-
sons had been deported from the Phil
ippines and were all sent to Guam by
military authorities because they were
considered irreconcilables whose pres
ence was injurious. He said that so
far as the Philippine advocates of in
dependence had expressed themselves
all of them desired the United States
should continue it's protection of the

independence with a United States
protectorate. The witness was asked
a great number of questions about
the Malolos constitution. He said the
convention which adopted 1t had been
made up largely of residents of Manila
altho designated by Aguinaldo to
represent various provinces. Compar-
atively few F'ilipinos, he said, are fa-
miliar with the constitution of the
United States and he did not believe
Aguinaldo was among those who have
this familiarly.
Taft also gave information concern
ing the newspaper press of the Phil
ippines. Are newspapers there at Ii
berty to advocate independence of the
islands? asked Senator Culberson.
They are under restrictions imposed
by the statutes which we discussed
yesterday. just as others are the wit
ness responded. Therefore they are
prohibited from such course?". THAT

BLISS DENOMINATION LIKELY.
Indications in Michigan Point to His
Retaining Governorship.

Grand Rapids, Mich. Feb. 19.-.It is
practically conceded now that Cover
nor Aaron 7. Bliss will be renominated
by the next republican state convention
without serious opposition. 1t had been
announced before the Lincoln Club ban
Quet here last week that the boom for
Justus S. Stearns would be formally
launched at that time. but Stearns'
name was scarcely mentioned. Cover
nor Bliss Is in possession of the Office.
He has a machine ready made and In
good working order. He has the party
two term tradition in his favor. Stearns
has many friends, but no organization.
He might accomplish something by
broaching a few barrels, but defeat
this year would be his finish. BY wait
ing two years Mr.. Stearns would re-
ceive the nomination with little II any
opposition, and 1t is believed he will
walt.
Mr.. Stearns has as his chief lieuten
ant and advisor Sybrant Wessel;us of
this city. Mr.. Wesselius is lawyer by
profession and Hollander by birth. He
served as next friend to James M. Tur-
ner and was best man to Governor Pin
gree. AS the inventor of issues Wesse-
Illus is again displaying his ingenuity
by making Mr.. Stearns the champion of
purity in politics.

HAWAIIAN RECOMMENDATIONS.
Election Plans Sent to Senate by In.
terror Qepartment.

terror Department.
Washington, Feb. 19.-The secretary
of the interior has sent to the senate a
letter from the acting governor of Ha-
waii calling attention to the lack of a
scheme of apportionment of the terms
of the senators in the Hawaiian iegis-
lature, and announcing that the failure
to adjust this question before the No
vember elections may lead to serious
difficulty in the organization of the next
succeeding territorial legislature. The
interior department recommends to the
senate either of the following methods:
First. that the two senators each
from the First and Second districts, the
three from the Third and the one from
the Fourth who receive the highest
number of votes at the election of the
first legislature be designated for the
four year term and the remaining sew
en- for the two-year terms; second. that
the governor, chief justice of the su-
preme court and the judge of the dis
trict federal court be a committee to
make the proper appointment.

Want A GOVERNMENT
Little. OF Arkansas. Speaks for
Indian Territory Before
Congress Today.
Nearly 100000 White Men With.
out Any Voice In the
Government.
Eighty Thousand White Children
Without School Facilities.
The Senate.

Washington, Feb. 19.-When consid-
was resumed in the house today Little
of Arkansas, addressed himself to con-
ditions in Indian territory. The anom-
alous situation there, where $4,000
white men had no voice in the govern
ment, he said, demanded action by con-
gress, and he contended that territor-
ial form of government should be set ur
there. He reviewed the recent great
development in various branches of in
dustry in the territory. With 150 towns
and cities and wealth amounting to
white children of school age, but no
schools. Such condition of affairs, he
declared, was outrageous. He believed
the territory was ready for statehood.
but that congress should grant at least
some liberal form of territorial gov
ernment.
Bromwall, of Ohio. followed Little
and got the floor to comment upon the
recent speech of Wheeler of Kentucky.
In the course of his remarks he paid a
high tribute to the Germans and elic-
tied from Wheeler the remark that he
had no objection to Bromwall making
himself solid with his German consti-
tuents. Corliss, of Michigan. then de-
livered the second installment OF his
speech in favor of building govern
ment cable to the Philippines. Hamil-
ton, of Michigan, in a general speech
discussed the question of trusts. He
argued that combinations were newt
able; that they existed everywhere In
Europe; that only combinations here
could meet them. Commerce had re-
solved itself into race of giants. Ham,
ilton's speech, which consumed about
an hour in it's delivery, was pictur-
esque and attracted much attention,
When he concluded he received an ova-
ton. Vandiver, of Missouri, who fol-
lowed Hamilton, remarked, it was
strange that the author of the first
speech on the floor in defense of trusts
and combinations should be SO heartily
congratulated by his colleagues. He
then proceeded to answer some of
Hamilton'S statements.

Secretary Hitchcock Makes Report on
the Indian Hand Outs.
Washington, Feb. 10. Secretary
Hitchcock has sent to the house a full
report on the orders issued by the In
terror department and Indian Office re-
lating to the cutting down of rations to
Indians under the new policy of max
ing the Indians self supporting as far
as possible. He reports that letters OF
inquiry on this subject We're sent to
the agent at Blackfeet, Mont, later to
the Sioux agencies in the Dakotas, and
subsequently to all other agents thru
out the United States. In each case
the agents were instructed to go over
the ration rolls and erase therefrom all
Indians who are wholly self-supporting.
They We're then instructed to regulate
rations issued to the necessities of the
recipients. The letter says
There is one important considera-
ton. Rations must not be Issued to
those who have no disposition to at
tempt to support themselves. The law
and regulation to this effect are old, but
In many cases seem to have been hon
ored more in the breach than in the OBJ
servance. Nevertheless they are good
and should be enforced as far as pos
sible. The time is rapidly approaching
when every able bodied Indian must
depend upon his own resources for a
living"
The secretary also transmitted a
statement of rations distributed 10 the
Rosebud Indians in South Dakota, to-
gether with supplies purchased from
and for these Indians.

KILLED BY A TRAIN.
Carl F. Hoyt Meets Shocking Death
in Yards at Cedar Rapids.

Cedar Rapids, Feb. 19.-Last night
about half past six o'clock another
chapter was added to the terrible SER
les of accidents that have happened
in Cedar Rapids recently. when Carl
f. Hoyt was run over by a train and
killed. He was struck about forty feet
south of the crossing of c avenue and
Fourth street, and dragged about thirty
feet. or almost to the c avenue cross
ing, before his body caught in a frog
and stopped. His right leg and left
arm were practically severed from his
body, and the left side of his chest
was terribly mangled. Coroner King
was at once called and the body was
removed to the Turner undertaking
rooms. where the inquest was held this
morning.
Hoyt was painter in the B.. c. r.
& N. shops in the city, and was re-
turning from his work when he was
struck by the train. 1t seems peculiar
that Hoyt was walking down the tracks
when the switching was so heavy as at
that time of day. when there was
roadway by the side of the tracks, NO
one saw Mr. Hoyt struck. but the spot
where he was run over by the train is
clearly discernable by the blood on the
rail and ties and by the side of the
track. while his body was found caught
in the frog some thirty feet farther
north Several of Mr.. Hoyts personal
effects were picked up by Coroner King
between where the victim of the acci-
dent was struck and the place where
the body finally lodged. hmong them
being shreds of clothing, part of key
ring, a broken lead pencil and part of
a watch fob.
The accident happened on what is
called the Illinois Central outgoing
lack but which is used by all four
roads running up Fourth street. 1t is
also the track running to the Bosch
Ryan elevator. No one seen last night
knew what train or engine killed Hoyt.
Just at that place there is a perfect
network of tracks, and the engines of
all four roads make almost constant
use of them.

combine will include all the mining
properties in the Hooking and Sun

of the New Pittsburg and Glendale
mines. which have been acquired by

There is probability that the
