Senator Lodge VIII Introduce
Temporary Measure
To-Day.
By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Senator Lodge.
chairman Of the Committee on Philip
pines. tomorrow will introduce bill for
a temporary government OF the Philip
mines. which has been drawn after many
consultations with the War Department
officials IT does not attempt to establish
a new form OF government in the Pniilp-
pines, but simply begins by confirming
the action of President Mckinley in ere
atinG a commission and ratifying the acts
of that commission under the instructions
of the President It also gives the Prcsi-
dent authority. while there is a resistance
in any part of the islands to the United
States, to regulate and control inter-
island commerce.
Under section 6 the government of the
philippines is empowered to make rules
and 5regula tons Tor the disposition of pub
lie lands other chan Climber and mineral
lands, such regulations to have the force
and effect of law only after they nave
been approved by the President and Con-
gress. Then follows a series of provisions
to enable the commission TO perfect the
title OF persons now occupying public lands
and to lease and sell lands to such per-
sons or give them to occupants without
compensation.
Then comes provisions in regard to TIM
Der lands, which are not to be sold or
leased by the commission, who are to
issue license to cut timber under the for
est regulations now in force in the Islands.
The provisions in regard to timber lands
are followed by g number OF sections as
to mineral lands. These have been pre-
pared with great care, SO that they shall
be in harmony with the existing Spanish
laws. One of the most important pro-
! visions in the bill is that empowering
| the Philippine Commission to purchase
the lands of the religious orders and dis
| pose of then, on proper terms to the act
ual occupants.
! The succeeding section gives an cppeal
! to the Supreme Court of the United States
| in certain cases. and then como series
/ of sections authorizing municipalities and
] the city OF Manila to borrow money and
/ icsue bonds for municipal improvements.
| There are two sections which provlde
| for the granting Of franchises. SO that in
| dividua1s OF corporations can go into tho
| islands and construct electric and steam
railroads and engage in industries and
manufactures. based or the corporation
| laws Of Massachusetts. The final sections
i or the bill make provisions for 4 banking
| system and enable national banks of the
| United States to bo established in the
| Philippines.
