in the hands of the people of the, Philippines such an increasing control of their domestic affairs as can be given them without, in the meantime
 impairing the sovereignty of the United States, in order that, by the use and exercise of popular franchise and governmental powers, they may be the better prepared. fully to as- sume the responsibilities and enjoy all the privileges of complete inde- pendence, which it is the purpose 1f the United States to grant, waen. in the judgment of the United States, the people of the Philippine Islands shall be fitted therefor
 After adopting the preamble. which was written by Senator Kenyon "t Iowa, the Philippines committee voted ten to three to report the bill as amended. with the recommends ton that it be passed. Senators Bristow, Lippitt and Weeks voted against a favorable report, but an- nounced that their opposition was to the preamble. Senators Bristow and Lippitt had offered revisions of the preamble eliminating all reference tr ultimate independence.
 In the Jones bill as 1t passed the house the preamble declared that it had always been the purpose of the people of the United States to with draw their sovereignty over the Phil ippine Islands and to recognize the:r independence as soon as a stable go = ernment can be esta blished there" There was no reference, however, as to who was to determine wnen the Filipinos should be ready for inde- pendence. The Kenyon amendment leaves the question entirely to the of the United States. The bill may be reported to the senate within a few days Administration senators generally think there is no chance for it's passage at this session.

FRED MILL" TICKETS
 ON SALE AT STORES
System of "Placc Cards Adopted to Prevent All Day Line When Ex-
 change Is Made Thursday.

At 2 o'clock this afternoon, all tickets in the hands of the ticket com mittee of "The Red Mill' were put on public sale at Crowells and Dickln- sons drug stores and at the jewelry store of M. P. Leghorn at Main and Commercial streets.
 This step was taken at the sugges- tion of many Main street business men who believe that many persons have in the past been unable to pro- cure tickets because they have not known any members of the company. The management of The Red Mill'' wishes to give equal opportunities to all in procuring tickets. It IS ex- pected that the tickets put on sale will be disposed of rapidly.
 A plan to do away with the neces- sity of having a line of applicants waiting all day to exchange their ad- vance tickets for seats has been ar ranged by the ticket committee. The exchange of tickets will be made Thursday evening at o'clock at 13S Main street, the vacant store room in J. Hallinan's block. In former years a long line of boys has formed and waited all day for the exchange to begin Some member of the ticket committee will be at the store all day Thursday and as soon as any person arrives he will be given a card giving his number in the line. When the ex- change opens at night, each person will be given opportunity to make selection according to his number. Each person will be permitted to se- lect twenty seats on each seat chart or sixty seats for all three perform ances When a person appears for his "place card'' during the day, he must give the name of the person who will appear at night to make the selection. None but the person whose name is on the card will be permitted to respond to that number and if the person with the card is not the same as the person named on the card, he will not be permitted to make an exchange. This system will make un- necessary an all day line and it is believed will be a fairer way of ap- portioning the seats.

t-anscontinental telephone wires were given their first public test, and the completion of the line. was formally celebrated. Distinguished men in the offices of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company in San Francisco ccnversed freely with distinguished
 men on the Atlantic seaboard. two of whom were President Wilson at Washington and Mayor Mitchell of New Ork, and one more great chap ter in the history of telephony was finished as Bell talked to Watson across a continent. It was perhaps, q little more difficult to string wires from Denver to San Francisco than from New York to Denver, but the actual construction of the line was the least of the engineers troubles.

Ernest Judet the editor of the Eclair land one of the most persistent critics pf the application of the censorship, states today that the censors have in formed him that henceforth they would refuse to read the proofs of his newspaper in view of the terms used by him in an article on the censorship and that if he published news con- trary to the law he will have to bear all the consequences.

Less than forty years ago, AleXan- der Graham Bell standing in a little attic al , Exeter Place, Boston, sent through a crude telephone, hlS own invention, the first spoken words ever carried over a wire, the words were heard and understood by his associate, Thomas A. Watson, who was at the receiver in an adjacent room. On that day, March 10, 1876, the telephone was born and the first message went over the only telephone line in the wOrld-a line less than 100 feet long. The world moves a long way ahead in the span of one mans life. On Monday afternoon, January 25, this same Alexander Graham Bell sitting in the offices of the American Tele- phone and Telegraph company, New York, talked to this same Thomas A. Watson in San Francisco over wire stretching 3,400 miles across the continent and part of a system that includes 9,000.00O telephones con- rected by 21,Oo0,ooo miles of wires. On that day, in the presence of groups of prominent men on either coast, the

HAD NARROW ESCAPE.
Hartford Man Goes Over Wall in
 Capitol Grounds Into Water.

Jan. 2e.-A peculiar ac- cident which nearly cost him his life befe1l Joseph Cohen of Windsor street in the capitol grounds today. He had attempted to make a quick crossing of the grounds by using snow cov- cred Glen Path, along the river bank. Collen's feet slipped on the ice crust and he slid down the bank and over the wall into the water. He man aged to cling to an icy projection of the wall.
 A woman heard his cries and ran into the capitol J. D. Kelly, the master mechanic, with several men, ran to the wall, and by letting over a han at the end of a rope effected the rescue of Cohen. He was carried into the boiler room of the capitol to dry out. Cohen said that he could not have held on many minutes longer.

their large numbers made individual instruction generally practicable.
 The ideal conditions under which a profitable cruise could be made would be to have on board relatively so few of the naval militia that at least a large proportion of the un- rated men could be assigned to exist ing vacancies in the ships compleme ent while petty officers could, if compe- tent, fill vacancies or otherwise be be carried as petty officers in excess of complement. In other words, the militiamen would, as far as organi- zation, ships work and routine exer- cises are concerned, lose their iden- tity as militiamen and be treated in most respects precisely as would d draft of men from the training sta- tion.'
 More Definite Orders
 Other suggestions which Captain Williams makes in his report are more definite orders from the department IS to the time of starting and end ing the cruise so that men will be able to return to their civil employ ment on the date which they have given their employers and a more direct responsibility for the keeping of pay accounts.
 The Connecticut detachment on the cruise consisted of fourteen officers and PA enlisted men. Of the en- listed men, 192 were deck, forty-two mechanical and ten special.

PHILIPPINES COULD SUPPORT 40,00Q,o00
Ptudy Of Business of Islands Re- { Vtls Many Wastes.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The Philip pines are capable of producing enough food and wealth to support comfort
 ably 4o,0oo,ooo, according to Presi- dent Waters of the Kansas State Ag- |ricultural college, who has investi- gated agricultural conditions and pos
 slollities of the islands, copy of
 "hose report was received at the
 Pureau of insular affairs here today.
 As compared with Japan, he says, Ftne Philippine farmer gets only one HltR as much per acre; that while the latter produces 20O,O0o,00O pesos ! worth of wealth annually on the seven million acres in cultivation, the Jap anese farmers produce two billion
 pesos worth of wealth on their fouf- teen million acres. Might Produce Products.
 The Philippines would be the lead
 Ing cane sugar producing country in
 the world, Cuba excepted, if the planters raised as much per acre as
 Do the planters in Java, says Presi- [dent Waters. Furthermore, they kwou1d be the third largest rice ex- porting country, if the Philippine growers obtained as high acre yields .hs do those of Japan or the United States Again, the islands could sup port a larger pork and poultry in
 1ustry than either Canada or Aus craha, if the yield of corn per acre kequalled that of the United States or Japan.
 While the people of the Philippines bay the farmers of Australia and y1ndia about 3,500,OO0 pesos annually for meat and work stock one may ride for days through grass up to the saddle skirts, says President Waters, 1 without seeing herd of cattle or horse
 Very Many Wastes.
 He declares that study or the bus y1ness of the islands reveals many wastes, and cites the fact that last year nine million pounds of raw sugar were sold at four centavos a pound. all of which, or it's equivalent was
 bought back again at ten centavos a pound, and again that with almost limftless forest resources more than
 one million pesos worth of lumber was purchased from the outside world.

ment) have a, fine spirit and are well disciplined In general drills and work they took great interest. Their preparation for target practice is very thorough. This organization is fortu- nate in having so many officers ot eN- perience aboard ship.'
 The praise for the Connecticut de- tachment is all the more valuable be- cause several of the other detach- ments which went on the cruise on the Rhode Island were given anything but praise parts of their work, be- ing condemned by the United states officers. This is especially true Of the North Carolina detachment.
 In his general report on the. cruise in which the Connecticut Rhode ls- land, Maine and Missouri detachments took part. Captain Williams says: "The large Connecticut organization was divided almost equally and as signed to the first and second dlVl- sions of the ships organization. The small Missouri detachment was also assigned to the second division, the Rhode Island to the third and the Maine to the fourth. At the sug- gestion of Commander Hill, officers of the Connecticut militia were as signed as assistants to the ships pa trol of officers during the liberty per iod in Halifax and were of material assistance. Patrol duty might well be included in future instructions to commanding officers conducting cruises.
 Training Was Beneficial
 The training and experience had by the militia was undoubtedly very beneficial Many of the militia of ficers voluntarily so stated and 1t was apparent to all who had the militia under observation. Yet the possible educa tional value of the cruises was much deprecated because of the large number of militia on board. It was necessary for the purpose Of handling such large attachments of strangers to preserve the naval militia organi- zation to a certain extent and to this extent their relations to the ships organization were artificial They not only could not get the maximum amount of actual experience in the duties of nnen-of-wars men, but they probably received false impressions regarding organization, routine and meth ods with which they would be expected to have an acquaintance if mustered into the navy.
