PHILIPPINES BIDS REJECTED
Proposals for Railroad Construction
Not According to Terms
By Associated Press.

by Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-All the bids
for concessionary contracts or grants
Ior the construction of railroads in the
Philippine islands recently submitted
to the bureau of insular affairs were
To-Day rejected because of departures
from the terms of the circular calling
Tor proposals. Secretary Taft, after a
number of conferences with Gov.
Wright and Mr.. Forbes of the Philip
pine committee and Col. Edwards,
chief of the insular bureau, today de-
cided to readvertise for proposals, and
January 20, at 10 a. m, has been fixed
as the date for the opening of new
DIGS Tor these concessions. The terms
VIII be modified in some particulars.
Where bidders proposed to construct
the road without guarantee they will
be limited in their bids only by the
terms of the Philippine government
railroad acts of 1902 and 1903 But
where the bidders wish to take advan-
tage of guarantee of a certain inter-
est on their investment they can vary
from the original invitation to bid
only in point of time or in the cost of
construction per mile, as affected by
contractors profits. AS to the latter
the Philippine government reserves the
right to fix the maximum cost of the
road and the time in which the road
can be completed. The contractors
profits will be important considera-
tions in making the awards.
New circulars will be prepared at
once for the guidance of those who
may wish to enter the competition for
the railroad concessions in the Philip
pines. Since the opening Of the bids
under the original call for proposals
Secretary Taft, the representatives OF
the Philippine government here and
Col Edwards have devoted a great
deal of time to their consideration and
today determined upon the action an
nounced.

No Canal Bonds Now
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-secretary
Shaw today stated that, although the
Panama canal bill, which has Just
passed congress, perfected the Iegisla-
tion relating to the sale of Panama
bonds and makes it possible to issue
them at any time, the treasury depart.

At present conditions for an imme-

the party indicates that it wants a
change. Influence from no matter how
high source, he said, will not affect
his attitude.
State Senator Maltby, speaking of
the speakership imbroglio, declared
today that Governor Higgins action
in naming Wadsworth as his candi-
date for speaker was an "impeachable
