None OF the other immortals of mod

Reaction Sets in.
Properly it has been left to Ameri-

Twelve varieties of Washington are
depicted on the postage stamps issued
by the Government in honor of his
2OOth birthday anniversary tomorrow
but the Postmaster General insists that
| only one of them looks the least like
him. That is the Stuart portrait, be-
cause the old 2-cent stamp has pasted
! it on the minds of all of us.
But Stuart admitted he did not paint
Washington as he saw the man. All
| the features" of Washington, he said
were indicative of the strongest and
most ungovernable passions But
| Stuart left no trace of these in the
| calm serenity of the pictured face. He
carefully retouched and Smoothed them
| out just as he padded the sunken
mouth with cotton and pulled out the
| lips to conceal the effect Of a badly
fitting set of teeth.
| Who knows, then, which Of the IL
| varieties of Washington on the new
stamps looks like him? Or. indeed
what he locked like? No one Here
is a man Americans think they know
all about. Yet can any of use be sure
we wouldn't pass him in the street
without recognizing him?

cause it Is the property of the Boston

BILL FREES ISLES
|NAB0UT 19YEARS
Senate Committee Agrees on
Basic Principles After
Compromises.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
independence for the Philippines in
about 10 years is the object of bill to
be drawn this week by the Senate Ter
ritorieS Committee.
The basic principles of the measure
were agreed upon in an executive ses-
sion of the committee yesterday after
compromises had been reached on pro-
visions Of the Hawes- Cutting and Van
denberg and King bills Drafting the
legislation will be started next Wednes-
day
With the Hawes- Cutting measure as
base, the bill will provide for an
island plebescite at the end of Is years,
dating from the adoption of a consti-
tuition.
Limit for Imports.
Meanwhile, Philippine imports to the
United States, now duty free, would be
limited for 10 years to present totals
and full duty applied to the excess.
Immigration into the United States
also would be restricted during the
trial period but the committee has yet
to fix a quota.
For the last five years preceding the
plebescite on independence there would
be graduated tariff increases on all
shipments to the United States. These
would be reciprocal, applying also to
American exports to the islands.
The committee disapproved the pro-
poSal to make the tariff changes all at
once rather than by what Chairman
Bingham of the committee called grad
uated step ups
The bill could not become a law until
it had the approval Of the Philippine
Legislature or a convention called eSpe-
clally to consider it. Complete inde-
pendence would depend on the result
Of the plebiscite.
Cardinal Points Approved.
This would put independence away

ham. He figured at least 4 years for

measure were approved by big majori-

and BrouSsard, Louisiana, both Demo-
crats-held out for a 5-year trial period

agriculture supply bill House provisions
to prohibit salary promotions and re-
strict the filling Of vacancies In the
service until July. 1888, may be taken
up for debate and action in the Senate
before the end Of this week.
In eliminating these two restrictions.
the Senate committee stated it did so
without prejudice" so the whole cues
ton could be gone into when the bill
goes to conference between the two
houses.
Efforts Are Expected.
Assuming the Senate will sustain the
position taken by its committee. 1t Is
expected that In conference efforts will
be made at least to modify the limita-
tions If they are not dropped entirely.
When it is taken up in the Senate, the
agriculture bill will be in charge of Sen
ator McNary. Republican Of oregon.
Senator Brookhart, Republican. OF
Iowa. declared yesterday he is opposed
to the House Limitations on promotions
and filling Of vacancies in any form
and indicated he would object to re-
storing them to the bill even in modi-
fled form. The Iowa Senator does not
believe economy should be practiced in
that way
Alternative Suggested.
During the Senate hearings on the
Agriculture bill, departmental officials
suggested several alternatives, to avoic
difficulties they believed would arist
under the House provisions, by giving
the departments more leeway in econ.
omizing on personnel.
The House provision on vacancie!
would prevent vacancies from being
filled from now until the end of the
next fiscal wear, except in such case
as the President may certify appoint
ments to be essential
The outcome of these questions or
the Agriculture bill will be followed with
wide interest. because the decision or
this bill will be followed on all the
