Havemeyer. of the National Bank of North America, announced tonight that the> directors of the bank had decided to request the comptroller of the cur rency to assume charge of the institu- tion. He said that owing to rumors afloat during the past ten days there has been a continuous run and the indications were that the withdrawals &vould be so heavy tomorrow that the ybank> would be unable to meet them. This decision was taken to insure all depositors that they will be treated alike.
 Mir. Havemeyer said he believed the bank is entirely solvent and that the stockholders will receive par The bank has a capital Of S2.0OO.OO0 In August the deposits reported were S19.750.000 In December it had nearly g, 7,000,0 900 deposits. and today accord ing to Havemeyer's statement the de- pUsits are only d little over $2.500.0 The bank which is the biggest of the More string underwent a complete re- organization in october when Alfred H.

Washington. D. C., Jan. 26.-lron and steel manufactures exported from tho United States made their highest rec ord in the calendar year 1907, the to- tai being approximately two hundred million dollars. against sixty-three millions in 1897, and sixteen and one quarter millions in 1887. The value of iron and steel manufactures exported has increased more than 200 per cent during the last decade, while that of other merchandise exported has in- creased less than 100 per cent. While the exact figures for 1907 has not yet been received by the bureau of sta tistics of the department of commerce and labor, the figures for eleven months justify the statement that the total value oE iron and steel exports will approximate, if not exceed $200.- 000, 900. In 1897 iron and steel manu- fatures exported formed but 5.S per cent of the total exports of domestic merchandise. and in 1907, 10.S per cent.
 Machinery of various kinds forms abut one-half of this total of S200, ,000.- 900 of exoor<s. the total for 1907 ap- proximating $95,000,0 900. The exact
 
 statistics are available are: Total eX- ports os iron ard steel. not available are: Total exports Oc iron and steel. not including ore. s1S2.000,000: ma chinery. sS7. 7.5OO.OOO.

Save only our attitude toward Cuba, 1 question whether there is a brighter page in the annals of interna- tiOnal dealing between the strong and the weak than the page which tells of our doings in the Philippines. I call especial attention to the admirably clear showing made by Secretary Taft of the fact that it would have been equally runous if we had yielded to the desires of those who wished us to go faster in the direction of giving the Filipinos f-government and if we had followed the policy advocated by others, who desired us simply to rule the islands without any thought at all of fitting them for government. lThe islanders have made real advances in d hopeful direction, and they have opened well with the new Philippine assembly; they have yet a long way to travel before they will be fit for complete self government, and for de- ciding. as it will then be their duty to do, whether this self government shall be accompanied by complete in dependence. It will probably be generation. it may even be longer be- fore this point is reached; but it is most gratifying that such substantial progress toward this as a goal has all ready been accomplished We desire that # ba reached at as carl-' a date as possible for the sake of the Fili- pinOs and for our own sake But inn properly to endeavor to hurry the time will probably mean that the goal will not be attained at all

 The following paragraph from the introduction oc the secretary's report is interesting for the refreshing of the memory concerning the dates of mod crn Philippines history:
 Tt is more than nine years since the battle os Manila Ba- and the subse- quent surrender Of Manila by the Spaniards to the American forces. It is more than eight :-ears since the eX- change of notifications of the treaty of Paris, by which the Philippine Is- lands passed under the sovereignty and became the property of the United States. It is more than seven years instructions to MT. Root, secretary of

It is more than six years since the complete installation of a quasi civil government in the islands, with a civil governor as executive and the commission as a legislature, all by authority of the president as com mander in chief of the army and navy. It IS more than five -ears since the steps taken by President Mckinley and yourself in establishing and main taining 9 C,iasi civil government in the islands were completely ratified and confirmed b. the congress in an organic act which, in effect. continued the existing government. but gave it needed powers as a really civil govern ment that the president under consti- tutional limitations of the assembly seems to be, therefore. an appropriate time for a precise statement of the na- tional policy toward the people of the Philippines adopted by MT.

Washington, D. C.. Jan. 36.-The spe- cial report of conditions in the Phil ippines, made by William II. Taft, sec retary Of war to the president. was to- day released for publication. The re- port proper covers seventy three printed cages and is accompanied by an appendix of 100 pages containing letters and documents between the secretary of war, the president, digni- taries Of the Catholic church concerns ing church matters in the islands, and others respecting hospitals, the Banco Espanol Filipino, and other subjects pertinent to the report and to insular affairs. Tie entire report makes d valume of -79 printed pages.
 The report proper concludes with the following
 Recommendations.
 First. That legislation be adopted by congress admitting the products of the Philippine Islands to the markets of the United States. with such req sonable limitations as may remove fear of interference with the tobacco and sugar interests in the United States.
 Second. That the present restric- tiOns be removed as to the acquisition of mining claims and the holding of lands by corporations in the Philip pines.
 Third. That further legislation be passed authorizing the Philippine gov ernmenh if it chooses, to open and conduct an agricultural bank. with a capital not exceeding s2.O00,0OG and
 Fourth. That the coastWise laws of the United States be made permanent ly inanplicable to the trade between the ports os the islands and the ports of the United States.
 Presidents Endorsement.

 l transmit herewith the report of Secretary Taft upon his recent trip to the Philippines. l heartily concur in the recommendations he makes. and I call especial attention to the admir- able work of Governor Smith and his associates. It is d subject for just na- tional qualification that such a report as this can be made No great civil ized power has ever managed with such wisdom and disinterestedness the affairs of people committed by the accident of war to it's hands. If we had followed the advice of the mis- guided persons who wished Jss to turn the islands loose and let them suffer whatever fate might befally them, they would have already passed through a period of complete and bloody chaos,
