TAET REUNION.
Four Members of the Family Meet at
Dinner in New York.

New York, March 15.-Henry ". Taft
gave dinner last night to his brothers
Secretary of War Taft, former Congress-
man Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati, and
Horace D. Taft of Watertown Conn
Seen before the dinner, the secretary
said:
The matter concerning which I con-
Ierred with Mr. Milburn was the bid Of
Speyer & Co on the proposal for the
building OF about 40 miles of railroad
IN the island of Luzon, with Manila as
the principal center Of the system.
The bids for building the lines pro
Jected for the islands Of Negros. Cebu
and Panay have been accepted and the
rendered for the construction of the
Luzon lines.
Upon reimbursement Of the propo-
sal there was again only one tender
that Of Speyer & Co. It is not entirely
satisfactory to the war department
and negotiations are therefore in pro
gress with a view to satisfying the gov
ernnent's requirements in the matter"
The secretary spoke with frankness
of his feeling concerning the refusal of
the senate to pass the Philippine tariff
bill He said:
1T was a disappointment to me. and
I feel that it was a mistake not to pass
the measure I am unable to say ex-
actly the measure Of material benefit
that would have come to the Fflpinos
from the operation of the law. but the
moral effect of demonstrating to the
Fnipinos our desire to help them would
be important"
OF the conditions affecting the pro
gress of the isthmian canal cOnStruc-
ton, Mr.. Taft said:
MY latest cables from Engineer
Stevens show that freight is now being
handled with celebrity. and that the or
ganization of the forces on the isthmus
is being perfected, and, altogether, ev-
erything is progressing in manner that
fully meets our expectations"
Concerning the antioch movement in
Cincinnati. Secretary Taft said:
My letter accepting membership in
the Roosevelt Republican club was a
deliberate statement of my convictions,
and quite fully covered the subjects dis
cussed."
He. however, reiterated his opinion
that there IS no logical relation be-
tween municipal and national politics, .
but added:
The necessity for maintaining party
organizations renders it very difficult to
secure their practical separation.
Secretary Taft will return to Wash
ington tonight.
