FAREWELL TO TAFT
BRILLIANT RECEPTION TO WAR
 SECRETARY IN MANILA.
The Reception Was Characterised By Extreme Democracy, Representa-
 tiVes Of Nearly Every Flli-
 pinO Class Being Present.

Manila, Nov, S.--A brilliant farewell reception was given to Secretary Taft tonight at the residence of Governor General Smith.
 It was characterized By the extreme democracy, representatives of nearly every class ofSresidence of Manila be- ing present. Secretary Taft and wife were greeted practically by every one in attendance.
 The secretary's last day in Manila was marked by many busy features. He received and conferred with many prominent Filipinos. heads of bureaus, members of committees business men and delegates from various provinces and cities. He told one delegation which was petitioning for free trade of sugar and tobacco to send represen- tative men as delegates to Washington to help the fight in Congress to secure tariff concessions. After a conference with General Gomez. regarding politf- cal matters he refererd to that well known agitator as good friend
 The indications are that the protests against seating Gomez will be of no avail, as a canvass of the assembly has disclosed the fact that only two members are opposed to giving him the seat to which he was elected.

 Mir; Van schaick replied to this latest criticism tonight by saying that Con- federate Veterans had recently cheered Grant. He pointed out that the Army of the Tennessee meets this week at Vicksburg, the guests of the Confed- crate Army of the Tennessee.
