THE MOON HAS A SATELLITE.
Harvard Astronomers Confirm.
ed the Discovery of 1888.

Cambridge, Mass, Aug. 16.-suc-
eessful photographs Of the moon
during the eclipse last week
were taken at the Harvard observa-
tory. Prof. Pickering said today
that the satellite OF the moon was
readily photographed.
1.-THE moon was obscured for two
hours" said the professor. 1.-THE
fact that the moon has a satellite
was proved In 1888 and Monday
nights observation confirmed It's
existence. The satellite IL only a
few hundred yards In diameter. The
eclipse was what we call 20 per cent
which means that q little Of o quart
er OF the moons surface was obscur-
cd. The light clouds that gathered
during the evening did not interfere
with the observation materially.
"No eclipse Of exactly the character
OF that Monday night has occurred
for eighteen years. From q soien.
tific viewpoint. however, there was
little Of interest outside OF the moons
satellite in the phenomenon. We
made photographs and took OBJ
servations because that Is part OF
our duty and the public is always
interested In such occurrences.
1--WE did not make any other dis.
coveries Monday night. In fact we
did not make any special effort to
learn anything new about the moon.
The scientific world is pretty we'll
satisfied with the information al.
ready In It's possession"
Harvard observatory officials re
ceived a telegram late last night
from the Lick observatory In Cali
iornia that seventh satellite Of
Jupiter had been observed.

sELF-eoVERNMENT FOR PHILIP.
PINES IMPOSSIBLE DURING
OUR GENERATION.
OPINION OF SECRETARY OF WAR TAFT
APPEARS BEFORE HOUSE COM.
MITTEE TO ADVOCATE TAR
IFF REDUCTION.

Washington, Jan. 80. - Secretary
Taft made an argument before the
house committee on ways and means
in favor of the Curtis bill reducing the
duty on sugar and tobacco from the
Philippines. He contended that as
the Philippines belong to the United
States, thereby imposing sacred
trust on this government, it is our duty
to establish and maintain the best pos
sible conditions there.
Mr.. Williams Miss.) the minority
floor leader, asked the secretary if 1t
was not the Republican policy to give
the Islands ultimate independence.
The secretary affirmed this, stating
that such would be the case when the
people OF the islands were capable of
self.government.
''Self-goyernment as the American
understands it, or as the Filipino un-
derstands it" asked Mr. Williams.
Il doubt il they ever reach the self
governing capacity of the Americans
the secretary replied.
Well, asserted Mr.. Williams,
there is not so horrible much differ
ence between you and the Democrats.
You believe in granting self-govern.
ment when the people are ready and
we believe in fixing a date for their
independence
Certainly Secretary Taft said,
the present status of the islands so
far as our relations to them are con.
@cerned will remain the same through
out the present generation and prob
ably longer.
With this in view, he maintained,
it would be as just to establish tariff
between the states of Ohio and Penn
sylyania as between the United States
and the Philippines. Ultimate free
trade would have to come in the end
between the islands and the United
