The Senate Committee on the Phil
ippines authorized a favorable report
upon the House bill revising and
amending the tariff laws of the Phil
ipplne Islands. The. committee was
in session only short time, and this
was occupied wholly by Secretary Of
War Taft, who discussed the features
Of the measure. Only one amendment
was made to the bill as it passed the
House. The provision prohibiting a
license system with view to deriving
revenue from tariff in opium has been
stricken out. In its place has been
submitted a provision that "after
March list, 1908, it shall be unlawful
to import in the Philippine Islands
opium in whatever form, except by the
government and for medicinal pur-
poses only, and at no time shall it be
lawful to sell opium to any native OF
the Philippine Islands, except for me-
dicinal purposes.

blood-stained banners, of '61-65, held

light of glory. The old flags will go
back to the states under which rallied
the real fighters of the war. Not since
since the scenes of united patriotism
which forced the war with Spain for

as the vote to give back the flags and
the general delight it cased when it
