tariff commission, revenue measure
to follow the army and navy appro-
priation bills, an anti-dumping act, a

WITHDRAWAL OF
u. 5. RULE PLANNED

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 26.-An
amendment to the Philippine bill, said
to be acceptable to President Wilson,
was submitted today by Chairman
Hitchcock of the Philippine committee.
1t would provide that not more than
four years, nor less than two years
after the meeting of the new Filipino
legislature to be created by the pend
ing bill, the president should withdraw
the sovereignty Of the United States
and proclaim the independence Of the
Filipino people provided they enter
into such binding agreements with the
United States as the president may
deem necessary for the protection Of
recognized rights and interests Of
Americans and other nationals in the
islands.
The president would be empowered
to reserve naval bases, coaling sta
tions and other property required by
the United States for military pur-
poses.
The amendment would further pro.
vide that, if at any time before the
expiration of four years, the president
should find that proper steps had not
been taken to establish an independ-
ent government, or if he should be un-
able to negotiate agreements for pro-
lection Of American property, the
