WASHINGTON. Peb. fl. The president
has appointed Circuit Judge Taft of Cincin
nati chairman of the Philippine commls-
slou. Ho will sail fiom San Francisco somo'
time nftcr March lf > . Judge Tatt's place in ,
the Sixth Judicial circuit will bo Oiled by
Judge i\nns ofMichigan. ;
It Is understood that the other membora
of the committee will be designated within
a \ery short tlm © nnd that the special in-
i Htruitlons which will guldo them In thd
I discharge of their duties will bc prepared
'
nt na early n day as possible.
The appointment of this commission Is
carrying out the suggestions of the present
1'hlllpplno commission , which will shortly
go out of existence. Some of thu members
of the old commission. It Is said , will bo
appointed on the new one.
The appointment of Judge Tnft 'marks ' the
first selection for the Philippine commis
sion. Theio will be Iho members on the
commission and all will be civilians. Mr.
Schurman , president of the existing com
mission , has declined , for buslnce ? reasons ,
lo remain on the commission , so Judge Tnft
will bo president In his place. Mr Dcnby
and Prof. Worcester have been Invited to
accept rcappolntmcnts , but bo far hn\c not
signified their Intentions. Admiral Uewoy
will not go back to Manila and General
Otis will glvo way like him to a civilian.
Secretary Hoot said today that no liihtruq-
tlons had been framed for thu new commls-
Klcn as yet , but It would be easy to percclvo
from the sentiments set out in the presi
dent's message on the subject what those in-
rtructlons would be. Judge Taft called at
the War department today In company with
Judge Day , lute secretary of state , and had
n long talk with Societal y Long as to the
plans for the commission.
Tart MII > ! 'e ClII Ci > \ ci-nor.
As some surprise haa'been caused by the
willingness of Judge Taft to surrender a life
position of the dignity and emolument of
the United States circuit Judge to Join the
commission , It may be said that the prevail
ing impression Is that ns boon as the com
mission hhall have succeeded In replacing the
existing military goveinmcnt In the Philip
pines with a stable civil government Judge
Taft will bo named as the flist civil gov
ernor general of the archipelago. It Is not
thought that this change will take place at
once , but the commission Is expected to
move ntcadlly toward that object and to set
up local civil governments as fast as the
Filipinos shall demonstrate their vvoithi-
ncss. '

11 en ril From.
WASHINGTON , Feb. G. The Philippine
question again occupied the attention of
the house todny , with a slight digression
concerning the wnr In South Afrlcn. The
feature of the debate wns the speech of
Williams of Mississippi , who presented nn
argument against the annexation ot the
Philippines which nttrncted much attention.
It wus devoted nlmost entirely to the com
mercial aspects of the acquisition , holding
that the absorption of the Islands would
bo ultimately ruinous to Amoilcan pro
ducers of cotton , rice , tobacco and sugar.
Moirls of Minnesota mnde nn exhaustive
legal argument In suppoit of thu right to
hold nnd govern the Islands. The other
speakers weie Gibson of Tennessee , W. A
nnd II. C. Smith of Michigan , Cochrnn of
Missouri nnd Neville of Nebraska. The gen
eral debate on the dlplomntic bill closed
todny nnd tomoiiow It will be taken up foi
amendment under the five-minute iiile.
In Iho course of his speech Gll ) on said
the American people were expniiblonlsts by
heredity and tradition If Ilrynn hnd "been
elected president In' 1S06 liihtcnd of Mc-
Klnlcy , Gibson Enid , he believed the1 Spanish
wnr would have occuned ns it did. foevvey
would hnvo'fought Montojo In Manila bny ,
the United Stnlc-s would have acquired the
Philippines , Hrynn would hnvo been engaged
In putting down thu insurrection nnd every
democrat on the other sldo would have been
shouting hurrah nnd nmen
WllllnniB of MlfsUslppI , n member of the
foreign nffnlrs committee , submitted an
nrgument ngnlnst the annexation of the
Philippines from n conimerelnl standpoint.
It was not vcrv lofty , he mild , lo discuss
this question from the standpoint of dollare
and cents , but thu spirit of commercialism
made It necessnrv. He snld he would un- <
dortnko to show thnt from the Blnndpolnt of
Iho American agricultural Industiy nnd
Amorlcnn Inbor the nnnexntlon ot the Phil
ippines would bo disadvantageous In com
parison with what would bo done under
comparatively free trade rclntlons. Ho bo-
lleved thnt If wo nldcd the Filipinos In set

obtain porpetunl fico entry for our goods .
nnd escape- the Brent ( jucrtilon that wna per- j
plcxlng us. The cost of mnlntnliilng nn
army of 05,000 men , which would bo neces
sary If wo retained the Philippines , would
he thiee lime ? the vnluo of the Imports
and exports of tbo Islands.
Morris of Minnesota thought there v\cro
higher and nobler ISZUOH Involved lu the
acquisition of the Philippines than the ben
efits to our trade. Ho devoted hlnibclf t'o
the constitutional view of the case , nrgulng
thnt the ilgit to ncqulie tonltory had bc-
cemo established by the deciblons of the
courtfc. |

Knew It would be useless to offer the amend
ment In the house , ns n single objection
would defeat It. Ho should , therefore , urge
n separate bill , not to c'liibarraea Hie gov
ernment , but because he believed n diplo
mat Ic ofllcer of the government was nee Jed
In South Afrlcn. Turning to the Philip
pine question Smith euld It was uoelfsi to
rlicmpt to please the other sldo of th
house. Tbo democrats were alvva > s in lhc |

\\ould redound to the benefit of Anglo-Saxon
chlllzatlon everywhere.
No\\ , when there \\tia n popular demand
that the president should offer to mediate

no could properly wait until the ripe judg
