the result of his labors.
In lino with the Ilrst recommendations i
which irrett mads to the War De
partment and the Philippine Commission, it
is quite probable that the appropriation al
ready made of SSO.000 will be increased to
jaO.tOO. Governor Taft says that he hopes
to be able to advise the Philippine Com
mission to take this step.
In the second place, it Is practically de
cided that the Philippine Government will
construct a building of Its own that will
cost not lesa than C150.000. Governor Taft
desires that this structure shall be Included
in the main scheme of bulldftgs, and shall
bo of such architecture and size ns to be
worthy the exhibit It will house and of its
surroundings.
Last but not least, Mr. Barrett says that,
after discussing the situation carefully with
Governor Taft, he believes the Philippine
building and exhibit can be ready on time
for the opening of the Exposition in 1303.
Commissioner General Barrett Bays that
the attitude of Governor Taft and of the
Wnr npnflrtment toward the Exposition Is
pleasing and favorable. Governor Taft la
sincerely desirous that the Philippine ex- ! ,
hiblt shall be one of the great features ei
the World's Fair, -nd be prepared and iet
up in a way that will make It thoroughly
interesting and instructive. He says that
one of the principal matters for him to at
tend to while in this country is to see that
arrangements are completed for the Phil
ippine participation.
Mr. Barrett Is especially gratified because
he has held from the first that the Philip
pine exhibit. In view of the public Interest

Imposing Ceremonies Mark Open
ing of Parliament Queen
Helena Appears.
Rome, Feb. 2. King Victor Emmanuel
opened Parliament to-day with considerable
ceremonial. In the speech from the throne
he referred to the tranquilizlns effect en
the country of the Government's' liberal
policy, and to tho excellent relations exist
ing between Italy and all the Powers.
"A policy," said his Majesty, "which
bears in mind all our rights and all our
duties, has earned us a large share of good
nill, and flattering testimonies of the es
teem in which our country is held by for
eign nations. The conilder.ee which Great
Britain and Brazil placed in me by elect
ing me as arbitrator, is very pleasing to
me.
"Thus, in the concert of the great na
tions, the defence of our Interests and fidel
ity to our alliances and ties of cordial
friendships are fully reconcilable with
Italy's supreme aim. which is peace."
Queen Helena accompanied the King to
Parliament. The procession to and from
the Senate was imposing.

RErUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. Feb. 20. A determined tight
is to be waged against the desecration of
the American Hag. The Grand Army cf the
Republic, the Sons ot the American Jtevo
lutlun. and othertpatrlotic societies are at
the head of the movement, and it Is be
lieved by them that they will succeed in se
curing the passage of a prohibitory law be
fore the end of the present session of Con
gress. In thl3 belief they are strengthened by
the apparent friendliness of the Military
Affairs committees in Congress. Five bills
have been Introduced already since Con
gress convened all with the same object,
and differing only in scope. No particular
mcasuro is to be pushed by the societies,
except that they wish as strong a law an
possible, and one that will allow no uso of
the national emblem or any semblance of
it for commercial purposes.
The Senate Committee on Military Af
fairs this morning gave Its first hearing on
the subject. General Peek of New Haven.
Conn., Past Master Kay of the New York
branch of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic. Genera Thomas? M. Vincent of Wash

Grand Army; J. W. Clous, retired, of the
United States Army, and John M. Wight,
representing the District of Columbia Sons
of tho American Revolution, were a dele
gation representin? the different interests
before the committee. -
Tho delegation announced that it would
favor no particular bill now under consid
eration, preferring to leave the selection of
a proper measure to Congress.
They advocated slmnlv n hn whinh
would absolutely prohibit all uso of tha
Stars and Stripes for other purposes than
It was intended for.

Washington, Feb. 20. Governor Taft con
tinued to discuss the climatic conditions in
the Philippines to-day before the Senate
Philippine Committee. Reverting to what he
had said yesterday concerning the health of
the American trocps in the Philippines, Gov
ernor Taft said that much of the sickness
which does exist is due to exposure, and he
incidentally made an appeal for liberal ap
propriations for the construction of barracks
and for the protection of officers and men.
The witness thought the high death rate
of troops in the Philippines due to the
guerilla warfare, saying that it was impos
sible to get soldiers to observe the laws ot

lands and who are in good health. Ho
thought, however, that they generally left
the islands for several months every two or

had the effect of causing a. gradual deteri
oration of health.
Governor Taft said he attributed his own
loss of health to lack of exercise. He re

and "said that certain precautions had been
taken by the medical authorities in the su-
