INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 24 The third an
nual convention of Spanish-American Vet
erans came to a cloee today, after the
election of Colonel D. John Foster of Chi
cago as commander-in-chief and the desig
nation of Milwaukee as the next convention
city.
A resolution was unanimously passed fa
voring a consolidation of the Spanish-American
War Veterans and the Spanish War
Veterans. It was Incorporated in the reso
lution that a committee of eight be ap
pointed to confer with a like committee
from the national army of Spanish War
Veterans. The committee wae given en
tire authority to complete the organization
In all details.
The Llller embrogllo waa finally settled
by that gentleman formally resigning his
office as adjutant general and offering a
written apology for his discourteous con
duct of Monday In calling Colonel Harri
son a liar, and for his other offenses.
The auditing committee, which was ap
pointed to Investigate Llller's accounts, re
ported through Colonel Hutchlngs ot Iowa
that Llller's books were In such an un
systematic condition that no detailed re
port could be made. The committee sug
gested that an expert accountant be em
ployed to disentangle the financial affairs
of the order, and stated that as far aa
could be learned the cash balance of the
order is $231 and Its liabilities are $2,441.
It was decided that no settlement be made
with Ltller until the affairs of the order
should be untangled. It was also decided
that no paper or periodicals be made tbe
official organ of the order. This waa a
blow at Llller's paper, which Is published
at Lancaster, Ta., and which hitherto
has been used. Tonight William C. Ltl
ler said In reference to an apology he had
been required to make for calling Colonel
Russell H. Harrison a liar, that he re
tracted every word of it. This statement
was made to Lieutenant Governor Gilbert,
Colonel E. J. Nlmmlck of Chicago and
others Llller said be offered his resigna
tion In order to prevent being discharged
from the order, as such a discharge would
handtcap him In organizing a new order,
which, be said, he Intended to organize
within a short time.

HELENA. Mont. Sept. 24 The demo
cratic state convention at Boxeman thla
afternoon nominated Judge Jere B. Les
lie of Great Falls for associate Justice
and John M. Evans of Missoula for. con
gressman. No other nominations are to
be made.
United States Senator W. A. Clark and
his frlenda had absolute control 'of the
convention today. Senator Clark presided
as temporary chairman. The committee on
credentials reported In tavor of seating,
the Clark delegations from Silver Bow and
Oranlte counties and tbe report was
adopted. Senator Charles W. Hoffman ot
Bozeman', .a well known supporter of Sen
ator Clark, was made permanent chairman.
The platform pledges the party to "con
tinuing loyalty to the principles of demo
cratic party as enunciated at the national
convention held In Kansas City." It en
dorses the state administration, and com
mends the action of the representatives In
congress on all public questions. It ap
proves the Irrigation law; favors legislation
to prevent the immigration of the vicious;
favors speedy construction of tbe Isthmian
canal; favors strict enforcement of the Chi
nese exclusion act; favors the throwing
open of Indian reservations not absolutely
needful for the Indians to settlement; fa
vors the election of United States senators
by direct vote of the people; favors action
by the state and national legislatures that

to the eight hour law on the atatute books;
favors the assessment of railroad property
for purposes of taxation on tbe same basis
as other property, and commends the state
board of equalisation for taking an initial
Step In that direction. It opposes the
wielding ot political power by corporations,
and says tbat the consolidation of leading
railway systems and the formation of trusts
and pools requires stricter, supervision by
the state and federal governments, and "de
mands the exercises of such powers and
the imposition of such restrictions In the
control of railroads as will protect the
people from the dangerous consolidation ot
competing lines."
Opposition is declared to monopolies, and
such tariff legislation Is favored as will
provide adequate means to defray the ex
penses of the government economically ad

Into the situation two other elements. A
large party ot "Kansas City platform demo

mand of the convention the endorsement of
the Kansae City platform, practically as
fcurlng a repetition of the recent Massa

also appeared for recognition and endorse

quests were at variances with the state
caucus, and as a result the situation at
midnight was aa confusing as It was un

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24. The bureau of
Insular affairs today furnished to the press
copies of the speech made by Governor
Taft on the occasion of the reception ten
dered him when he arrived In the Philip
pine Islands. In the course of the speech
Governor Taft ssld:
You can be very sure that It will be only
a matter of a year or two before the Amer
ican duty on Philippines products will be
reduced to so small a tlKUie as to make It
practically free trade. Ielsys In congres
sional action-on the tariff and postpone
ment of the time lor a popular assembly
are only the outgrowth of a conservatism
due to a doubt on the part of many as to
the real conditions In the islands, a doubt,
1 may say, which nothing will so quickly
dispel as a quiet prosecution of agricul
ture and other pursuits snd an avoiding of
useless political agitation for the next
year. '
"The manv nuestlons renulrlns- settlement
between the Philippine government and the
church led the president and secretary of
war to direct me to visit Rome for a con
ference with the pope, to see if a basis of
settlement might not be reached. After an
audience with the pope the Instructions
were referred to a committee or cardinals
and an answer was given me agreeing gen
erally with all the purposes stated In the
instructions, which Included among other
things the purrhuse of the friars' lands by
the government.
This answer proposed that further nego

The questions were:
First. The price to be paid for the friars'

Second. The price to be paid for the oc

Third. The disposition of educational and
charitable trusts, Including the San Jose
college case.
The contract Included a covenant that
the members of the four great religious
orders, who were all Spaniards, should
leave the Islands In two years after the
first payment was made for the lands and
that only secular priests or non-Spanish
members of the regular clergy should act
as parish priests.
The Vatican agreed to sign such a con
tract, excepting the last covenant, which
he declined to sign, first, because It re

Instead of this, however, the pope said to
Cardinal Kampolla that he Intended to re

money for the lands would go to the

Philippines and not to the orders, and he
finally reiterated what had been said
earlier In the correspondence that no priest
would be sent to any parish In the Islands

parish did not wish to receive.
