PHILIPPINES DON'T WANT
TO GIVE UP GOV. TAFT
The President, However, Wants to Give Him
His Reward

Washington, Jan. 9.-"You may
count upon one thing with certainty
and that is that you are not going to
lose Gov Taft for eight or ten months
at least"
President Roosevelt is quoted as
having made this declaration to some
prominent business men from the
Philippine Islands, who recently talk
ed with him about prospective changes
there. This announcement is taken as
confirmation of the report that Gov.
Taft is eventually to be placed upon
the United States Supreme Court
bench, and that he will be succeeded
as civil governor by Gen. Luke Wright
of Tennessee.
This report has been going the
rounds for some time. While II has
been difficult to obtain an authorized
statement from the President or Sec
rotary Root, who is supposed to be
thoroughly familiar with the Presi-
dents plans. the report is generally
believed. When Gov. Taft resigned
his position upon the circuit bench OF
the United States Court, a life judge
ship. to undertake the difficult task
of setting on foot a civil government
in the Philippine Islands. he was as
sured by President Mckinley that
place upon the supreme bench of the
United States Court should in time
fall to his lot Gov. Taft has more
than made good" and his reward
seems to await him.
He proved the ideal man for the
delicate position to which he had been
appointed. He succeeded not only In
establishing the machinery of civil
government, which many other men
might have done, but he did some
thing which few men could have done.
and that is he won the confidence of
the Filipinos. When he returned to
Manila last September he was given
an ovation, such as few men in the
history of the world have received.
There Is every evidence to prove the
sincerity of this ovation for Gov. Taft.
for no matter how little some of the
Filipinos may like the idea of Ameri-
can domination, they are all of them
enthusiastic over the man at the head
of the Philippine government.
BY September of this year Gov. Taft
will have completed twelve months
service. during his second period on
the islands By that time he will, 1t
is believed here, have set the civil
government firmly on its feet so that
it will carry itself. From that time
forward the problems will. to a great
extent, be simply routine in their ma
ture, such as any man of ability and
integrity may carry through with sue

REPUBLICANS In DISTRESS
OVER TRUST LAWS

Washington, Jan. s.-Administratio ton
leaders in Congress are disposed to fol-
low the lead set by Attorney General
Knox on the subject of trust legisia-
ton. rather than accept the bill pre-
pared by the venerable chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, Senator Hoar.
1t is also proposed that the admins
trauon forces in the House make an
effort to pass a bill through that body
without delay, and send it over to the
Senate. What the fate of such a meas
ure as the House Judiciary Committee
may frame, will be in the Senate no
man can tell at this time.
There is unquestionably confusion in
the. Republican ranks regarding trusts.
A sharp conflict among the different
factions of Republican trust busters"
is laid bare by the submission of .he
communication of the Attorney Gem
eral Immediately upon the Introduction
of Senator Hears bill. While it serves
to emphasize the jealousies in the
hearts of different statesmen, who are
seeking to get some credit out of this
antitrust crusade, it also serves to
draw public attention to the trust evil
i'm a way that the trusts do not enjoy.
There is in consequence a distinct re-
vival of trust criticism upon President
Roosevelt, who for some reason is held
responsible for the prevalence of this
antitrust talk.
While the Republicans, whose chief
thought nf at.tx
in power, are not at all happy over
these family differences, men who are
honest i'm their opposition TO the
growth of trusts, and who believe that
there should be some legislation to
curb monopolies, have taken heart. The

TATION OF GERMANY.
WAS VIRTUALLY RECALLED.
THAT Is WHAT is SAID OF HIM AT
BERLIN.

Not Believed the Ambassador WIN

Germany's interests in the Vene-
xuelan Affair at Washington Was
Not satisfa ctOry to His COuntry-In
other Respects He Had Failed, 1t
Is Declared-EmperOr Sorry He In
auired About KipIing.
Berlin, Jan. 9.-Ambassador Won Hol-
ben's leave of absence from Washing
,ufl is pretty generally received here as
10 the dissatisfaction of the govern
ment with his management OF the Ven
ezuelan affair. This is asserted with
out reserve in important newspapers,
and no official denials have yet been
forthcoming.
1t seems that the government feels
it was misled, or at least not fully in
formed, by the embassy respecting
President Roosevelt's attitude when he
was requested to arbitrate the Vene-
zuelan dispute. The opinion is also
that DR.. Won Holleben's dispatches
concerning the policy of the United
States in the Venezuelan business and
its general foreign policy have been
neither adequate nor precise.
A variety of other reasons may have
contributed to the lack of confidence in
the ambassador. The Vossische lei
tung, for instance, attributes import
ance to the telegram sent by Emperor
William to Mrs. Kipling on March 5,
1899. when Kipling was i'll in New
York. The newspaper assumes that
DR.. Won Holleben counselled the send
ing of the telegram and that the EN-
peror, especially since the publication
of E<iplings recent poem, "The Row
ers," feels he was i'll advised.
DR.. Won Holleben's critics also as
sert that he showed an unskilful hand
in the great champagne war and in
the WHITE incident, and also in permit
ting himself to become the object of
press attacks, even though unjustly.
The matter of the statue of Frederick
the Great is also remembered, with its
Indifferent reception by the American
people. This, it is alleged, DR.. Won
Holleben ought to have foreseen, and
he should have dissuaded the Emperor
from offering the statue to the United
States.

cess. The time will be ripe for his
elevation to the supreme bench, which
has long been his chief ambition.
This at least is the Washington view
of the situation. The Manila view is
something different, and the idea of
losing Judge Taft is far from pleasing
to those men who have large business
interests in the islands. They have
come to believe that the success of the
American government depends almost
entirely upon Gov. Taft's remaining
at Manila. They base this belief not
on the idea that no man can be found
to take his place, but on the fact that
his great success has been due as much
to his magnificent personality as to his
ability and common sense. There are
good grounds for their view. Gov.
Taft is man who inspires confidence
in everybody brought in contact with
him. He has great personal magnet
ism, has splendid presence and his
hearty good nature, his candor and
frankness have been the chief instru-
ments in winning the hearts of the
Filipines.
American business men. with. inter-
ests in the islands, would like to see
him remain there for years to come,
for they feel that his presence there is
necessary to the stability of the gov
eminent and. especially to winning the
greater confidence OF the natives. Sec
rotary Root has been strong I'm the be-
lief that the Governor can serve his
country best by continuing in Manila.
His services have been so valuable
and the sacrifices he has made have
been SO great that President Roosevelt
believes that he has fairly won the
coveted place upon the supreme bench.
There are many people here who be-
lieve that a strongs presidential possi-
bility for 1908 will be found in this same
Ohio man, who has proved himself not
only magnificent judge, but one of
the biggest men of his day. This view
may be looking very far into the fu-
ture, but it is In the minds of some
of the most influential members of the
Republican party.
Gen. Wright, who is to succeed Gov.
Taft. is considered the best equipped
OF all OF the other members of the civil
commission, for this important posi-
ton. There Is no question about his
ability, his honesty, or his integrity
The fact that he is a Democrat might
render him Objectionable to those who
look at the situation through extreme
partisan spectacles.
1t is believed that Mr.. Rockhill the
present chief of the Bureau of Ameri-
can Republics, who rendered such able
assistance to Minister Conger in Chi
ma, is to be the new commissioner,
when Gov. Taft retires. Mr. Rockhf1l
is a man of wide diplomatic expert
ence, and is credited with having a
greater knowledge of Oriental peoples
than any other man connected with
the Department Of State. He is prob
ably the best man who could be chosen
Tor the vacancy, when 1t occurs.

frequent assertions of Republican lead
ers at the coming session that no trust
legislation would come from this Con-
gress, led TO the belief that while the
Republicans intended to put up some
sort of antitrust bluff, they had no
idea of letting the movement reach the
stage of practical legislation. This was
undoubtedly the original programme,
and il is believed to be the intention
of the stand pat element in the party
to prevent action at this session, IL
they can do so. BY some 1t is be-
lieved that the current of public senti-
ment on the subject of trusts may be
too strong for them.
The opponents of any, radical trust
legislation at this session. led In the
Senate by Aldrich of Rhode Island,
Platt of Connecticut and Mark Hanna,
is very formidable combination TO
run up against. So great, however is
the public interest i'm the trust ques-
ton that it looks now as If there must
be either legislation az this session or
an extra session of the new Congress
to consider the whole subject.
There has been considerable extra
session talk emanating from the White
House, recently. This may mean some
thing substantial or ii may not. Elk
ira session talk is sometimes put out
for the effect IL may have upon con-
gressional action. That may be the
case in this instance. There can be
no doubt that President Roosevelt Is
in earnest in his belief that 1t is essen
tial to the Republican success. as well
as the welfare of the country, that the
party i'm Congress enact some sort of
antitrust legislation. IL he fails to Sc
cure the desired end before March 4,
when the present Congress dies, he is
very apt to summon the new Congress
into session and to insist upon action
He has told his political supporters
that this will be very much better than
to throw the whole trust question over
to next winter, so perilously near the
presidential campaign.

The Virtues of the Eskimo Dog.
Com. Robert f. Peary, in Leslie,s
Monthly. f5
OF the Eskimo dog / could write
book. In all probability descended
from the wolf, 1t is the Eslximo's one
domestic animal but is of as much
value to him as all the domesticated
animals of more favored races put to-
gether. 1t drags him and his family
and their chattles from place to place;
hauls to his door the meat of seal or
walrus; leads him with unerring scent
to the tiny orifice in the snow, which
indicates the breathing hole OF a seal;
drags him for miles in pursuit of the
bear, and finally brings the huge brute
to bay; rounds up the musk-oxen till
his master can come up for the kill.
and then, perchance, in the darkness
or some long winter night, when the
hand of hunger grips the settlement re-
lentlessly, he yields up his life to feed
his master and his family, and his
coat to keep them warm.
Though mixed now with other
strains, so that black and reddish and
spotted dogs are to be seen as we'll as
the pure-blooded grays and whites. this
animal still retains to a large degree
the strength, endurance and fierce lust
for blood when in pursuit of game that
characterized its wild ancestors. Com
bined with these traits are an inteili-
gence and faithfulness that make many
of these animals the peer of any of
their more favored brothers in more
genial climates.
