MANILA, Aug. 31.-Governor Taft was
given banquet by the American Chamber
of Commerce of Manila Saturday night.
In an address replying to toast, the Gov
ernor discussed the future of the Philip
pines. He said the United States would re-
tain the islands indefinitely with the view
of educating the Filipinos to state of
self government and other conditions which
desire to become independent or be made
State like Canada or Australia under Great
Britain. Governor Taft said he believed
the relationship between the two peoples
would be continued and that the Americans
were here for the benefit of Filipinos. He
said the Americans did not desire the
islands for selfish purposes, and promised
that American capital would get fair treat
ment here. Continuing. the Governor ex-
pressed his belief that commercial interests
must ultimately rely upon Filipino labor,
although a temporary relaxation of the
immigration restrictions was possible He
said the United States civil commission
would again recommend Congress to give the
Philippine islands a gold standard of cur
rency as the present fiuctuating silver
standard was a disadvantage TO every
body.
Luke Z. Wright, who acted as civil Gov
ernor of the islands during the recent alb
sence of Judge Taft. also spoke at the
Chamber of Commerce dinner He ex-
pressed the opinion that the true future Of
the islands depended upon the admission OF
their products 10 American markets. Com
missioner Wright regretted that the Philip
pine question had been made football In

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 3L-Under cover
OF fog and the blackness of night, the
North Atlantic fleet, commanded by Rear
Admiral Higginson. slipped its cable in
Menemsha blight, Vineyard sound. shortly
before 10 o'clock tonight and put to sea,
making the first move ahoat in the war
game between the army and navy in the
Imaginary war along the southern New
England coast. On land from Fort Rod
man at New Bedford to Fort Wright at
Fishers island. every fortihcation is
manned by artillerymen and every headland
is patrolled by signal men just carefully
as II really hostile feet were about TO
descend upon this part of the seaboard.
The actual war period began at the ex-
piratiol Of forty-eight hours Of preparation,
and while the fleet appeared to take things
easily during that interval, the land forces
under supreme command of Major General
Macarthur were drilled at the guns and at
n signal station with all the vigor that
forecasts real conflict
Never in the history of this country has
a grim aspect been given to the defenses
which guard New Bedford. the cities on
Narragansett bay, the Connecticut shore.
and more important even. the city of New
York, from attack under cover of Martha's
Vineyard and adjacent islands. and through
the great waterway-Long island sound.
Tonight when taps sounded at all the
forts nearly 5,oo9 artillerymen went to sleep
beside their guns ready to spring up for
action when the alarm should be sounded
On the walls OF fortifications paced guards
and along the beaches sharp-eyed signal

war vessel be taken for that of a friendly

5000 men afloat. and ii may be that Admiral
Higginson will endeavor to land his ma
rines at some exposed point off the shore de-
fenses and attempt to capture IL before
making lis attack in an effort to force an
entrance to Buzzard's or Narragansett bays
or Long island sound. or even to silence
some one of the big forts. The army
says IL Is ready for anything which may
develop, but anticipating early landing
party from the feet at Gay Head, the sig
nal station there was moved to higher
ground to avoid being rushed by marines.
To cripple the army's line of communica-
ton may be Admiral Higginson's first
thought in order to use his marines.
TIE first point of attack is looked for
at For. Rodman, manned by volunteer ar
till, nien. but there may occur only a re-
conr o!ssance by the gunboats while the
great battleships swing into action to the

along the shore were. however. not so for

A SONG OF LABOR.
In days Of old the sdber

In days Of old the saber
Gave honor to the hand,
And those that did not labor
Were princes in the land;
To-day has crowned with glory
The brow bedewed by toll;
The theme Of song and story
Has risen from the soil.
No more are felt the shackles
That once held man a slave;
The furnace fire that crackles
Has melted sword and glaive.
And freemen all, and brothers!
Find joy in what you do;
The happiness Of others
Is laid in trust on yoSy

You're building to the skiess
Along the path Of duty
You're nearing Par adise:
The flowers Of art that blossom
In column, spire and dome
Shall lie in Labor's bosom
And beautify her home.
And Peace snail come. and wonder
Shall fil the world anew;
Eternal arms be under

The sun will shine still brighter.
The stars will sing and shine,
The burden will be lighter,
For labor is divine.
