AIRED THEIR GRIEVANCES.
Filipinos Tell Members of the. Taft
Party Why They Should Have
independence at Once.
NO new ARGUMENT WAS DEVELOPED
One Speaker Caused Uproarous Laughter
by Comparing Filipino Dialects With
Languages Spoken la Great Britain,
English, scotch and Irish-Questioned
by congressman and Senators.

Manila. Aug. 29.-The marble hall of
the municipal building was crowded
all day with the followers of the pro-
fessicnal agitation for the indcpepd.
ence Of the Philippines who had been
invited by Gov. Gen. Wright 10 air
their grievances against the insular and
federal government before the visiting
congressman. The meeting was called
to order by Senator Scott of West
Virginia who acted as chairman during
the meeting. The speakers urged the
immediate independence of the islands.
Nothing new developed in the argu-
ments, which were the same rs have
been put forward since the civil gov
eminent was instituted. One speaker
until lately member of the Hongkong
lunta maintained that the Filipinos
were better fitted for self-government
than the Greeks. Bulgarans and Per-
slams and would be willing TO accep;
independence under an American pro.
tectorate or system Of perpetual nell
trality arranged by the United States
with the leading powers which guaran-
Tee non-interference on the part of the
ambitious powers. The same speaker
said that one reason advanced by
Americans for not granting the Fill
pinos Independence was their lack of
n common language. He referred IN
fbair diaIant cop, no rino tho EiIin;pnc
with their multitude of tribal tongues
with the three languages spoken in
Great Britain. English. Scotch AMI
Irish, saying that nation met with diff
hculties in the matter of language
This statement aroused uproarious
laughter on the part of the congress-
men. All the speakers were subjected
10 volleys Of questions by Messrs
Newlands, Warren. Hepburn, Grosve-
nor, Payne and Cooper, all finally nd
uniting that they had not given the
subject sufficient study to determine
lust how TO handle independence if
given to the Filipinos.
Congressman Cooper Of Wisconsin. in
an ineerview said: at is quite appar
ent TO any one Who has looked into
the matter even superfciallv that self
government for the Fillpinos at the
present time is out of the question anc
that within a very few months afte"
the granting of independence there
would be fractional fight similar to
the kguinaldo-Lnna feud which would
give the powers an excuse 10 inter.
vene and absorb the islands" The ses-
sion will be continued Wednesday.

an agreement would be reached he was
surprised that It had came Tuesday
His belief had been that the arrange.
ment If made at all, would not be
made probably before Wednesday He
expressed TO his family his qualification
that peaceful solution of the differ

himself however from making any
statement formal in its nature regard

he should have been informed officially
Of that action.
