night was we'll attended, and the applause
was liberal. at times enthusiastic. The
soloists were Eugen d'Albert, the pianist,
and his wife, who sang group Of her hus-
bands songs with orchestral accompani-
ment, under the baton of the composer. Mr.
d'Albert played the Lszt concerto No.
1, for piano and orchestra, and in this con-
hrmed the great impression he made at his
appearance last Friday afternoon, when he
played the Beethoven concerto. The tech
nical difficulties he accomplished with the
greatest Of ease, and he gave an interpreta-
ton full of dramatic fervor and power
Subsequently Mr.. d'Albert played the we'll
known Berceuse OF Chopin and the Military
Polonaise by the same author. These
works, so widely in contrast, were given
with excellent effect, the tenderness and
delicacy of the former and the virility and
power of the latter being fully brought out
After the latter was FLASHED the audience
broke into spontaneous applause, which
continued SO long that Mr.. Albert yielded
to the desire for more. and played again.
Mrs. d'Albert sang four Of her husbands
songs, each Of which showed originality
both of theme and treatment. She showed
true and her efforts found favor with her
audience. The orchestra's numbers were
Cherubini's 1.-The Water Carrier" over
ture, Tschaikowskys symphony No.
g. and the Goldmark Scherzo all of which
were well played. Mr.. de Koyen received
the compliment of personal "caIl' at the
conclusion of the symphony.

the smoke law in the Police Court this

Revision and Internal Revenue.
SUMMARIZED BY TAFT

Secretary Taft has submitted to the Pres
ident the annual report of the Philippine
commission, together with the separate re-
ports to the commission of the civil gov
ernor of the islands and of the heads Of
the four departments.
The Secretary says, in his letter Of trans
initial to the President, that the reports
show the great benefit which has been con-
ferred upon the islands by continued
state of tranquility. Except in the wild,
mountainous regions of the unexplored
Island of Samar. and in the Moro region
OF the Rio Grande, and Lake Lanao in the
sparsely settled Island of Mndanao, and in
the Island of Jolo. conditions as to tram
quillity and ladronsm he says, continue to
improve. and except in the places mem
toned agriculture and the arts of peace are
not at all interfered with by lawless bands
or depredations
Proposed Bond Issue.
Referring to the proposed bond issue Of
$o,O0,OOO for general improvements, the
Secretary says that owing to the loss in
customs receipts, which point to a deficit
this year, it Is very important that the Sec
ton of the bill which has passed the House
and Senate already. authorizing the issue of
the bonds, be enacted. The Secretary fur
Their says that it is likely the customs rev.
enues during the next six months will in
crease to their normal amount, avoiding the
possibility of a deficit
In his letter the Secretary says that bill
referring to the controversies between the
Roman Catholic Church and the new So
called Independent Filipino Catholic Church
has been drawn by Governor Wright and
has been sent to the department for sugges-
tons The bill doubtless will be enacted
about February L. and it is hoped that the
disputes will be ended before the close of
the present year.
Issue Of Silver Certificates.
The commission recommends that it be al
lowed to issue silver certificates which may
be redeemed either by the new silver pesos
or United States gold coin at the legal and
fixed ratio of 81 gold for two pesos The
commission, which now has on hand 81 OOO,-
600 in gold coin. would thus avoid the ne
cessity of purchase and coinage of bullion
enough to make four millions of pesos The
Secretary sees no objection to the proposed
revision, and thinks the same will facilitate
the fiscal operations of the government.

Gen. Woods Report.

In his report as civil governor of Moro
province General Wood says slave trading
has been brought practically to an end
throughout the seacoast Moro district, al
though he says it undoubtedly continues to
some extent between the inland Moros and
the savage tribes of the interior. General
Wood says it would be difficult to imagine
a worse form of slavery, the slave having
absolutely no rights. No effort has been
made to tear these former slaves from
their masters but all have been Informed
that they are free to remain or leave them,
with the result that many former slaves
have left their masters.
'eWith all their faults" says General
Wood, ''the Moros- are brave and resolute,
and under good laws and an honest govern
nent in time will give good account OF
themselves He says the standing OF the
American people among the natives of his
province has been much injured by the
presence of large, tough class OF Amef!-
cans, whose energies have been prlnci-
pally expended in the construction, mann
tenance and patronage of rum shops,
which outrumber other American business
Establishments"
