Against Philippine Independence.

Washington, Jan. 2.-That the Fill
pinos will be unfit for self government
for at least another generation was
asserted by former President Taft be-
fore the Philippine committees of the
Senate today. He testified at the
hearing on the Jones bill. He blames
the Democratic party and its pledge
Of Independence for obstruction of the
program for gradual training for self
government He took the ground
squarely and declared that as commits
sioner of the Philippines he sought to
advance the education and participa-
tion of the natives in government to
the extent of their ability.
He said: Before the Filipinos are
fit for self government it will be

Lane of Oregon asked: "Wonld they

Taft, "but European nations in nor

"No: don't think Japan wants the

Hitchcock asked whether the Japa-
nese would attack the islands if
aroused at the treatment of their

Taft agreed it was reasonable to ex-
pect it,
"Either We should do one thing or
the other-fish or cut bait" he con-
cluded "We should get out and let
them fight as in Mexico. or exercise a
firm control while teaching them to
govern themselves"

San Diego, Jan. 2.-San Diegans
are not only enterprising, magical ia
their command of fortune and ae-
compishment, but they are game.
Thursday night was considerable of
a festival. After the opening cere
monies of the exposition, the Cafe
Christobal and the Isthmus with its
florid gaieties and zest of carnival took
command of everything, until some
where about breakfast and lunch
time.
That usually safe and sanely con-
servative lid was boiled over by the
hilarity and went out of business. In
fact it was lost all night.
Everyone ate, drank and was mer-
~. Those whose money ran out of
their pockets too early stalked with
the game, blowing horns, throwing
confetti, and enjoying general frat
ernization. Those whose money did
not run out were not to be blamed
They did their best to get rid of it
and gallantly combatted the annoy
ance of surplus.

England; that the note of protest sent
by President Wilson implies hostility
toward that country is the sheerest
nonsense" asserted former Senator
Philander Chase Knox in an interview
today
Senator Knox had not read the full
text Of President Wilson's note. For
that reason many of his statements
were general rather than specific.

Whatever the raiment, the ready
tongue gave vivid speech to the glad
hand. If San Diego had felt secretly
proud of what it has accomplished,
it soon had good reason to feel openly
abashed by the exuberance of appreci-
alton shown by the speakers.
1t was a pleasant case of word-i

have the speaking finished by noon,
when the dedication of the Woman's
Board headquarters was to be held.
1t was held, but it had to be done in

Peace Palace Deserted.
Paris, Jan. 2.-The Peace Palace az
The Hague looks lonely and desolate.
says Andre Tudesq, the Journals spe-
cial correspondent, who is the first
European TO visit the building since
the beginning of the war. M. Gre
monicuz, the secretary, in immaculate
evening suit and white kid gloves, who
piloted the correspondent through the
deserted halls, stated that nobody had
been there since early IN August,
when a party of tourists belonging to
various belligerent nations and accom-
panied by a Cooks courier, induged
in free fight in the Hall of Arbi
trage and had to be elected by force.
Tudesq continues:
"The stately halls, plunged in dark
ness and chill, are not completely fur
nished. The library contains only
sham volumes whose splendid bindings
conceal cardboard boxes. In the Hall
of Justice twenty-five portraits of
sovereigns and chiefs of state hang
covered with draperies. Six of them,
said the secretary, have been assas-
sinated since their portraits were
placed there, which makes a proper
ton Of % per cent. Others have died
q natural death, and the rest are now
at war with each other"
Continuing his visit to the bureaus
where the actual work is done, Tu-
desc found lonely secretary busy

refer to a legacy of a quarrel between
the congregation of the Sisters of St.
