BRYAN WILL NOT REFUSE. Not aVolunteer for Nomination, Bul If He is Drafted he Will Serve. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 24.-William Jennings Bryan was askd in this pity today if he would accept the De mocratic nomination for president in .1908 if it was offered. His reply iwas: "I am. not a volunteer for the place; if I am drafted, however, I will not desert." Mr. Bryan arrived here with Jud son Harmon of Ohio late this after moon. They came from Birmingham, iwhere hboth made speeches last night, M fr. Bryan :nissed his connection for iWashington in this city and remain ed here until about 9 o'clock as ihe guest of the Young Men's Democratic -eague. In an interview regarding the De mocratic possibilities for success in ihe next presidential lection he isaid: "I think the Democratic party has the best opportunity it has had in many years. I feel that we will win at the next election." He was asked about the probable candidate of the Republicans, parti ;cularly with regard to Mr. Taft and fir. Huzhes, and replied: "I do not care to hurt -either Mr. ,Taft's or Mr. Hughes' opinion by expressing mine," saying this with a ,augh. In reply to a question regarding a dispatch from Washington in rela ition to an effort said to have been made by William F. Shneehan of New York and Former Senator James ,Smith of New Jersey to have some other candidate named for the head of the Democratic ticket in the next presidential campaign, Mr. Bryan said: "I have heard nothing official in xegard to this move. When'it comes ,to me from the guardian of the De mocratic party I will then give my answer." Mr. Bryan declined to comnient on Judge Alton B. Parker's recently ,published charge that Mr. Bryan had not acted in good faith toward him tprior to his nomination for the pres idency. "I have not read the statement of Judge Parker,'' he said, "and the imere fact that it appears in a news ipaper wo'uld not warrant the assump jtion that Judge Parker said it or was ieorrecdtly quoted. I would not, in 'any event, however, ca.re to discuss Jth-e matter.'' RElPOR~T ON PHTTJPPINES. Secretary Taft Says American Ad ministration is a Success-Pre -dicts Bright Future. Washington, Jan. 26.-Nine years after the battle of M'anila bay See retary Taft records the results of thre Alerican oecuption of the archipel .ago and forecasts the future of Philippines in an exhaustive report transmitted to congress by the presi-i dent, with a letter written by the chief executive, commending in the highest terms the secretay's conclu sions. The president declares that ruin would have followed the. adop -tion of any other policy towards the Phillippines than that outlined by William McKinley and carried for .ward throughout the nine years, and asserts triumphantly that there is no brighter page in history than that dealing wih the relations between the strong and tihe weak in those is l-ands. ~Be adds that the Filipinos "have yet a long way to travel before d?hey will be fit for complete self government.'' .Seeretary Taft's report records lis observations on his recent visit to the islands to the extent of near ly 80 printed pages. Generally spa ing the secretary is optimistie in a high derree in treating of this sub ject. m'-n thone'h he can not fix a time for declaring the independence of t1'e isl.ands. In aanswer to the erities who have made "the most as tounbding' and unfair statemients in respect to the cost to the United States of the Phillippines,'' he figur es out a total annual expenditure of $5,000.000, and denies the failure of the Philippine policy. He says that great changes have occurred in the islands. The people are row anxious to have American soldiers retained. There is a hizh standard of adminis. tration of justice. Nothing is more popular than the constabulary. Ther are no questions between the grovern ment and the Reman Cath'olie church unless the AzFpayan schism can b< said to be involved. Peaee prevails ir a zreater haree than ev'er before 11 th- hin;ory a ihe islau'b. The mag by ibe relief obtained.

His recommendations are that Ii Phillippine products be admis-d ti the United States free tf duty inde " reasonable limitations; i1.i resell restrictions be remove1 on the ac quisition of mining properties; tha thz Philippine government .be author ized to conduct an agricultural banl and finally that. the islands be -x empted from the operation of th+ coast'wise shipping laws.
