WASHINGTON, April S.-The House bill
establishing civil government in the Philip
pines was finally perfected to-day by the
Republican members of the insular COM

PRODUCED by Chairman Cooper. There is
little doubt that 1t will be reported to the
House by the full committee, probably to-
morrow, and in the form Mr.. Cooper in
PRODUCED it to-day.
The House bill is unlike that of the Sen
ate in that it provides complete form of
civil government for the islands, to go into
effect when the war terminates the provis-
ion being as follows: Whenever the exist
ing instruction in the Philippines shall
have ceased and condition of general and
complete peace shall have been established
therein. and the facts shall be certified TO

dent shall authorize the commission TO call
general election for the choice OF dele

pie of the Philippine islands to be known
as the Philippine assembly"
1t is further provided that all the legisla-
tive power shall then be vested in two
hOuses-the Philippine commission and the
Philippine assembly. Provision is made for
taking the census within thirty days after
the PRONUNCIATION of peace. Thereafter the
islands are to be divided into election dis
tricts and the regular machinery for elect
ing the legislature is provided.
Section u of the bill provides that all
residents of the Philippines shall have the
same protection from the United States in
their relations TO foreign governments as is
accorded TO citizens of the United States.
For the purchase of the friar lands the
bill makes provision for the issuance of
insular bonds at per cent. interest. pay

specified. The regulation of frachises. tim
