FlLlPlNos ARE WHOLLY UNFIT
For independence According To Opin
ions of Visiting congressman.

Manila, Aug. 30.-The last session OF
the conference win the agitatorS 70.
the Independence of the Philippine Is
lands developed the fact. according &c
n cOncehSuS of opinion among the con-
GreSSmen present. that the Filipinos
are altogether unfit for Immediate in
dependence. Apart from the problems
presented in the civilization of the Ig-
orrots. the MOros, the Macabebes and
other tribes. il would be cruel. it is be-
lieved, to the people of the islands al
large to turn them over to the mer-
cieS of theorists and demagogueS.
They would then experience the worst
kind of exploitation.
The statement of the speakers at the
meeting was widely divergent, those Of
the mercenary faction being in con-
trast with the native agitators.
The provisional governors, when they
heard, emphatically declared that the
whole people of the islands were unfit
for Independence for many years. 1t
developed that the two principal agi-
tators had been under sentence for va
riouS crimes.
Sec. Taft. Miss Roosevelt and Bourke
Cochran visited several of the Cath
Ole colleges which conferred honors on
the gentlemen and presented souvenirs
to the ladies of the party.

1t is an interesting fact that most of
the cablegrams from st. Petersburg TO
the Russian mission are addressed to
Washington. The fact that Washing
ion was the scene of the preliminary
negotiations which made the peace of
Yesterday possible. inclines some to the
belief that history may yet regard the
uitional capital constructively the
scene Of the conference and perpctuate
the convention as 1.-The Treaty of
Washington"
There Is. however. no precedent in
history for a treaty receiving a name
other than the name of the place where

Ir view of the anticipated visit OF
the Southern Governors to the Central
Maine fair. this fall. the sentiment
seems to be growing that some special
attempts should be made on the part
Of some organization or Of the citizens
cs whole TO receive them by some
public manifesto ton of appreciation of
their visit. Although nothing of an Off
cial nature has been done. it is thought
probable that the Waterville Board of
Trade will shoulder the responsibility
of giving the gentlemen q fitting recep-
ton. Some of the leading members of
the board have expressed themselves to
thie effect and it is practically assured
that a banquet will be rendered the
visitors while they are guests in this
city.

The reason why the ENJOYS are
