rants for the place which will be vacated by MI.

Court was offered to Governor Taft on the re-

in the Philippines were in such state as TO
require his personal attention, and he sacrificed
the opportunity. The President has not forgot
ten his unselfshness, and now feels that the
work in the archipelago will be in shape by
February so that it may we'll be taken over by
General Wright. While Mr.. Rockhin Will re-
cefve a much. higher salary as Vice-Governor Of
