Washington, Aug. 1.-THE Philip
pine bill took final shape to-day, but
the independence of the islands is ap-
parently as far off as ever.
The Senate ratified the conference
report on the Philippine bill by vote
of 81 to 22, but the Clarke amendment
providing for a fulfllment within four
years Of Democratic promises made for
sixteen years to set the islands free
was eliminated with the amendment to
establish prohibition. But the pre-
-amble to the bill carries the familiar
recital that "it is and always has been
the intention of the United States to
grant independence when a stable gov
ernnent has been established"
Senator Borah, of Idaho, characteriz-
ed the bill as a mockery which merely
deceived the Filipino. He urged that 1t
should not be passed. Voting for the
bill, he said, bound a man to moth
ing.
Senator Mclean, of Connecticut, Re-
publican, taunted the Democrats with
not having carried out their promises
with respect to the Philippines. They
had tried conscientiously, he said. but
had failed ignominiously. To a uues-
tion from Senator Williams, of Missis-
sippt, as to why you Republicans don t
help u.s." Mr.. Mclean retorted: I'VE
are trying to help you to do something
and to stop lying to these Filipinos"

goes to the House for approval, abolish
ed the present Philippine commission
appointed by the President and pro-
vides that the Filipinos shall elect a
Senate, the first election to take place
L9Xt month. The House is already
elected by the people. With the cleo
tion of the Senate the electorate will
be increased by about 100000. About
