Graham soon appeared ir the smoother

'AFT DISCUSSES
FUTURE OH ISLANDS
lars the Nations Should Be
Educated
hen They Will Be Able 10 Decide
Whether They Want IndC-
pendeICe or Statehood


Manila, Sept 1.-Governor Taft was
iven a banquet by the American
Chamber of Commerce of Manila last
saturday night. In an address. reply
ng to a toast, the governor discussed
he future Of the Philippines. He said
he United States would retain the
Stands indefinitely. with the view of
Educating the Filipinos to a state Of
ielf-government and other conditions
which would enable them to decide
whether they desired to become indie
pendent or be made into a state like
Canada or Australia under Great Bri-
.ain. Governor Taft said he believed
he relationship between the two peo-
Pies would be continued, and that the
Americans we're here for the benefit
Of the Filipinos. He said the Ameri-
cans did not desire the islands for
Selfish purposes, and promised that
American capital would get fair treat
ment here.
Continuing, the governor expressed
his belief that commercial interests
must ultimately rely upon Filipino la
bor although a temporary relaxation
of the immigration restrictions was
possible. He said that United States
civil commission would again recon-
mend congress to give the Philippine
Islands a gold standard of currency,
as the present fuctuating silver stand
ard was a disadvantage to everybody.
Luke Z. Wright, who acted as civil
governor Of the islands during the re-
cent absence of Judge Taft, also spoke
at the chamber of commerce dinner.
He expressed the opinion that the true
future of the islands depended upon
the admission of their products TO
American markets. Commissioner
Wright regretted that the Philippine
question had been made a football in
American politics.

Manila, Sept. 1.-The Sultan of Bini.
dayan. who was held as a hostage by

cape from his guards last Thursday

The Sultan had been arrested after
the recent murders Of American sol
diers in MindanaO. and was being held
pending the surrender of the mur
derers.
As a result of the war, rinderpest
among The cattle and the epidemic Of
i cholera, agriculture is at present seri
ously depressed throughout the Philip
pine Islands. Governor Taft estimates
the area under cultivation this yeal
at half that of an ordinary year. Many
districts are badly impoverished.

ship TO slide down over Is the main
item. and then comes the greaslng.
Every inch Of timber over which the
vessel slides must be covered with lu-

the main ingredients OF them all. At
