tives on His 400 Mile Tour OF Phil
ippine Provinces.

Manila, Jan. 24.-Gov. Taft COM
pleted to-day 400-mile tour of the
provinces of Laguna, Tayabas and
Batangas. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Taft and the native members of
the Philippine commission. The party

rough one for portion of the way
and was accomplished in launches,
on horseback and in native boats.
There was the greatest enthusiasm
on the part of the natives over the
governors visit. In the province OF
Laguna the natives insisted that Gov.
Taft should dismount, and then they
carried him ten miles in sedan chair
to the capital. All through Tayabas
province the towns along the road
were decorated in honor of the visit,
and when the party entered Laicena
LOO school children cheered enthu-
siastically.

READY FOR TIE SENATE.
Panama Canal Treaty Has Been Signed
After Much clubbing. All Disputes
Having Been Compromised.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The Panama
canal treaty signed Thursday is the
same treaty that was drawn up by
this government several months ago
with the single exception of the item
of annuity to be paid to Colombia
for the use of the right-of-way for
the canal. The amount of the annuity
is a compromise between the 100000
offered by Secretary Hay and the
$65O,OOO demanded by Colombia. The
latter's price was fixed upon what
were asserted to be the present re-
turns from the Panama railroad COM
pany, port dues, etc., which she had
no desire to see diminished. The
amount fixed in the treaty by way OF
compromise (s25O,OOO, is admitted
to have been arrived at from
n calculation of the exact receipts
ut present from traffic across the
isthmus, and therefore is regarded
as only fair TO Colombia.
The president transmitted the Pan
anna treaty to the senate Friday aftt
ernoon.

-.of close application, he was at once
recognized as leading lawyer in u
boom town where there was the best
bar in southwest Kansas. In 1859
Sthere was vacancy in the state sena-
torial district of which Barber county
was part, and Long obtained tho
,snomination. 1t was given him June z,
1859, most memorable occasion, Mt
s'Coldwater, Comanche county, ut three
O'Clock in the morning, and after q
vigorous contest. The dominating fig
ure in that convention, which started
Long on his successful career, was
sCharles S. Jobes, then country bank
.er at Attica, Harper county, since .
leader in Kansas republican politics,
national bank examiner, and now
president of the American national
bank of Kansas City. Jobes hns since
ybeen Longs steadfast friend, and even
in this contest, removed from the
state as he was, has been one Of the
.chiefest and best advisers.
Long served in the state senate,
..gress in the big Seventh. Jerry Simp'
.son, his townsman, had in 1890 de-
feated j. II. Hallowell, of Wichita, by
NEARLY 10000 majority, and Long was
vup against desperate situation, but
sSimpson only beat him by 100. In
1894 Long was again named and elect
led. He was given good committee as
,signments by Speaker Reed, including
"a place on the committee on elections.
In 1896, again nominated by his party,
Long, like most other republican can
~,flidates in Kansas, went down to de-
feat. However, he made perhaps the
most famous campaign ever con-
: .sducted in Kansas. He debated six
times with Jerry Simpson, his oppo-
snent, on the Inoney question. Renomi-
mated for the fourth time against
:.Simpson in 1898, he was again sue
~cessful. In December, 1899, Speaker
Henderson placed Long on the great
lest committee in congress, ways and
-,means. In the short session of the
Fifty-sixth congress, February, 1901,
Long led in the fight to keep Kansas
congressional npportionment at eight
5members, and the fight was success
-ful one. In 1000 Long was reelected
ITO the Fifty-seventh congress, defeat
sing Gland Duval, of Wichita. In 1901
zthe fight for Cuban reciprocity came
sup in congress and Long studied the
@ouestion in every detail. In January,
1902, he made four-hours' speech In
favor of Cuban reciprocity which was
san agreeable revelation to older mem.
bers. In 1e02 Long was renominated
for a sixth time, and was elected by
a majority second only in size to that
of Charles Curtis in the solidly re-
pubIican First district.
Chester !. Long was married in No
.-ve1nber. 1894, following his first cleo
ton to congress, to Miss Anna Bache,
of Paola, cultured and clever wo-
man. She has been his closest friend
ennd confidante, and a most valuable
Lone. Mr.. and Mrs. Long have two
children, daughters, Agnes and Mar
srnret, aged respectively seven and hve
years.
