SPECIAL PHILIPPINE DOLLAR.
Agreement Of Republicans Of the Sem
ate Committee,

The republican members Of the Senate
committee on the Philippines held meet
ing today and passed finally upon the pro-
visions of the Philippine government DILL
The currency question was the principal
topic of conversation again today. and the
provision for supplying the Philippines with
a circulating medium as prepared by the
subcommittee composed of Senators Ali
son, Beveridge and Dubois, was finally
passed upon.
This provision as has been heretofore
stated, is that there shall be coined Phil
ippine dollar of the same weight and fine
ness as the Mexican dollar and the British
dollar. 1t is to be a bullion dollar, but the
volume is to be limited only by the demands
of business.
The coin will carry an American device on
one side and an oriental design on the
other. and it is calculated that it will in
time be very popular coin throughout the
eastern world.
The amendment also provides for SUBJ
sidiary coinage sufficient to meet the wants
of the Philippine people. The coinage OF
this silver will be done both in America and
in the Philippines.
The full committee will meet Monday.
and it Is the hope of the republican mem
bers that the authority will then be given
to report the bill to the Senate.
The provision in regard to mi1tage Is that
the Philippine currency shall be coined in
the Philippines as soon as the facilities are
provided, but that in the meantime 1t may
be coined in the United States mint at San
Francisco. The dollar provided is made
legal tender in the Philippines and not IN
the United States.
The republican members at their con-
ference also considered the question of au-
thoriZing a legislative assembly for the
Philippines, but concluded to omit all leg
islation of that character and also to make
no provision for delegates or commission
ers in Congress from the Philippines.
Provisions for a complete census OF the
islands is, however, to be included in the
bill This is not to be a mere numbering
of the people. but an inquiry into their edu-
cational attachments and property acquire
ments with the view of securing informa-
ton of a character which may be of use in
future legislation for the islands.
