NEEDS OF PHILIPPINES.
shown I'm Synopsis of Report of the
Com mission.


Washington, Nov. 1.-THE report of
the Philippine Commission win not
reach Washington for a month, but
synopsis Of the report has been
cabled to the War Department for
Secretary Root to use in his annual
report. This brief abstract will not
be made public until the secretarys
report is published. 1t is shown, how
ever, that the commission will make
strong recommendations regarding the
currency. which is at present in a
deplorable state.
The continued depreciation of the
silver currency until 1t is now $3.50
for one dollar in gold has caused
great loss to the Philippine govern
ment during the past six months. The
commission believes that the currency
should be established on a gold basis
as the only safe and sure way in
which the financial affairs Of the is
lands can be put in order.
Gov Taft has always been in favor
OF further tariff concessions to the
philippines, and IL is believed that he
will recommend that the rate, which
Is now IS per cent. of the Dingley rates.
should be made rs per cent in order
to encourage commerce between the
islands and the United States.
Gov Taft has also been in favor of
modification OF Chinese exclusion. as
applied TO the Philippines, and believes
that the commission should be allowed
discretion in the matter of admitting
Chinese labor
There is also reason to believe that
the commission thinks that greater lat
itude should be allowed in the matter
or franchises, as the grant of 5000
acres to one concern Is not sufficient
to induce capital in large amounts to
engage in developments in the islands.

to accompany him to the woods,
where, during a luncheon, he admins
tered the poison and robbed the chill
dren Of the money they possessed. Jen-

Walden. There is no necessity of
this doubling up on missionary work.
We have two theological schools near
