Roosevelt, Henderson and Grosvenor
Confer At White House.
WILL RUSH BILL THROUGH,
President Wants No Delay-The Tar
IN on Cuban Sugar-schley Case
Under Discussion - Mr.. ROOse-
velt's Views Are UnknOwa.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Post says
concerning the conference OF the presi-
dent with Republican leaders of the
house and senate at the White House
that the chief topic was the ways and
means committees bill for the reduc-
ton of war revenue taxes. The Post
states that Speaker Henderson and
Representative Grosvenor explained
the reason for pushing that measure
through the house without permitting
amendment the reason being that they
feared the reopening of the whole tar
if question should any other course be
adopted.
The Post continues: 1.-THE conference,
it is understood, resulted in the presi-
dent consenting to the plans of the
house leaders and informing them that
he desired to have the war revenue re-
duction bill disposed Of as quickly as
possible. He shared the belief of the
speaker and Mr.. GrosvenOr that delay
was menacing the chance Of the bill
passing.
1T was decided that conference Of
the Republican members of the COM
mittee on ways and means should be
held Immediately after the bill passes
the house for the purpose of ascertain
ing how the members stand on the
! presidents proposition for reduction
of the tariff on Cuban sugar"
schIey Case Discussed.
The Post also says: The Schley case
was also under discussion at the CON
ference. the president being anxious
| that his disposition Of the case should
not be followed by action in congress.
| Speaker Henderson was able to assure
the president that legislation could be
| blocked in the house, but it was point
| ed ont tn him by the senators that the
situation in the senate was different
| the more liberal rules OF that body al
lowing any resoluti Z. to be considered
| il it commanded majority vote.
"The presidents views regarding the
Schley case became generally known
as the result of the conference. 1t is
| said that he will not undertake to dis
cuss in his review any of the events
which occurred prior to the battle OF
Santiago on the ground that if Schey's
conduct was reprehensible it was con
doned by the navy department and by
President Mckinley when Schley'.
promotion was recommended. AS fol
the battle Of Santiago, the president il
inclined to the opinion, according to hi
visitors, that the victory was won b!
all the captains and that credit canno
therefore be given exclusively tt
Schley, although the latter acted cour
ageously and, with the Oregon, sue
ceeded In preventing the escape OF TIN

TAFT AGzlE QUBRlBb'
Saws We Cannot Yet Extend COnstitu.
tion to Philippines.
THE FUTURE MUST DECIDE.
What the Governor COnsiders the
"Great EVIL of the Present Tine"
Three Alternatives Govern
Insular Affairs.

Washington, Feb. 17.-During the
last hearing of Governor Taft OF the
Philippines before the senate commit
tee investigating insuIar affairs Sena'
tors Patterson, Carmack and Culber-
son asked numerous questions based
on the memorial of the Federal party
calculated to bring out Governor
Taft's idea as to what, If any, promise
should be made to the FilipinOs in the
way OF government for the future.
Replying to an inquiry from Mr.. Pat
tterson as to the denunciation in the
memorial of colonial form of gov
eminent, Governor Taft said the me-
mOrialists mean just what they say
that they favor ultimate statehood.
Replying TO Mr.. Carmack as to the
wisdom of making the Philippines an
Integral part of the United States, the
witness said the condition in the Phil
dppines today is such that the restrlc-
'tions of the constitution of the United
States cannot be safely extended tc
those islands.
Governor Taft advocated the estab-
vi d Sldblt eONSIhA AO'
the present with the understanding
Chat at some time in the future the
Americans and the F'ilipinos could
reach an agreement as to what SHOULD
be done in the way of government or
I'm maintaining relations. But he
said, whether the islands should have
their absolute independence, whether
they should be given quasi indie
ipendence OF whether they should be
made state of the Union are Ques-
lions for future adjustment.
Great Evil of the Present.
1.-The great evil of the present time
with reference to the Philippines is
the current discussion of their future
50 long before that can be fixed"
Replying to a question by Senator
eCarmack. he said that he had not con
sidered the problem of possible state
hood fifty years hence. He would not
favor d promise even Of form OF gov
.ernment such as Is given the territories
,of the United States.
In reply to number of questions
by Senator McComas based upon the
Democratic substitute for the Phlllp
pine tariff bill, Governor Taft said thai
to turn the government of the archl
pelago over to the Filipinos as therelt
proposed would. in his opinion, result
in anarchy and in the disturbance O
vested rights to such an extent as t
render 1t necessary for the Unite.
States to resume it's control with al
the work to do over again that hat
been done in the last two years. Ill
had no doubt, however, that the Fill
pinos could form a government simila
to the one they had under Aguinaldo
