Commission's Report T nutted to Congress, Washington, Feb 2.-The dent today transmitted to co the report of the Philippine co sion comprised in the first volon second vol?me to be issued merely relating to the climat natural resources. The repo signed by Prof S chu rm kn, A< . Dewey, Col Denby and Prof cester. The commission announces unqualifiedly in favor of a gc ment of the Philippines an?logo that of a territory of the U States with a governor appointe the president. They say it is di ble that the inhabitants of the z pe?ago should enjoy a large mei of home rule in local affairs, towns to enjoy substantially rights and privileges of towns territory. Tbe provinces shoul vested with substantially functio: a county in a territory. This tem might be applied to Luzon the Viscayao islands at once am initiated on the coast at Miana The Sulu archipelago calling special arrangements with the sui the commission say, need no! considered in this connection. Filipinos could manage their < town and county affairs through ti own officers whom they cc elect with no help from Amer? officials except such as would be . volved in control from the cen government at Manila The suffr? should be restricted by educatio or property qualifications or bo Thi-3 system would necessitate sojail body of American officials great abH?ry and integrity a of patience and tact in de ing with other races and this account the commissi says \hey could be called advisors commissioners and that one for eve ?50,000 natives should suffice, tlx v to report to the centrai goverame at Alanisa vTheir main functk would be to advise iowa and count councils in the ois^hirge of tc dutier. and to watch the collection i revf ;:ue at.d it? expenditures Ol gove,-.-:meo: of the Philippines, th commission insists must be adapte to the F?tpinos The commissio discounts ?. proposed protectorat like that of the British over the M y layan peninsular and any simulatio of the relation between Australia an Canada 3i:d Great B.itain, the, cot ditione di?ering The protectoral desired by the insurgent leaders i one under which the United State wou!d assume ali responsibility io protecting Philippine governmeu against aggression while their owr officials would collect revenues. No: could thc liability to foreign nation! be reduced without permitting then directly seek redress, and such ; course would, it is to b>'; ?eL-red: speedily ?ead to the approportion o. the Philippine, islands by the grea! powers, who would not need to seek far for pretenses of intervention. Clearly the plan of a self governing colony, ilse commission saj's, is a misfit lo the Philippines, nor are the British crown colonies and colonies havicg representative institutions but no responsible government, typified by British Guiana, and Hong Kong respectively, applicable. The commission takes a basis for the gov X-ELJli W A X UJ ernmeut proposed the territorial organization of Louisiana. The act is 6et forth in full. It provides for a governor and secretary of treasury, j and vests the legislative power in a j council appointed annually by the ; president Courts are also provided for Nearly all the offices will, nader this j form, of goveromeot, be filled by Fill- I pioos aod the merit system mu-t be adopted acd lived up to. The patron? age or spoil system, the commission say?, would prove fatal to good govern? ment io the Philippines. The email number of American officials needed inolude io the first group governor, secretary, attorney general, certain judges and other officials of the terri torial government aod io the second group heads of postal, customs and other departments. The officers of the first group should be appointed by the president and of the second transferred from the home service In neither case should there be examination. The Filipino?, they say, are of unusually promising material possessing admira? ble persona! and domestic virtues and being naturally peaceful, docile and deferential to constituted authority. In connection with the subject of government the commission reaches the foilowing conclusion : 1. The United States cannot with? draw from the Philippines. We are there and duty binds us to remain. There is no escape from our responsi? bility to the Filipinos and to mankind for the government of the archipelago and the amelioration of the condition of ita inhabitants. 2. The Filipinos are wholly unpre* pared for independence, and if inde? pendence were giren to them they could not maintain it.

There being co Philippicc cacios, j hut only a collection cf different pec pie's, there is no g?nerai pubiic opinion in tbs archipelago, bur the mea of j property and education, who alone j interest themselves in pubiio sfTiirs, in j general recognize as indispensable i American authority, guidance and pro- j tectioo. 5 ^Coogrts? >hcald. at the earlies* possible time, provide for the Phil p pines the form of government herein recommended or aoother cquaily lib?rai and beneficent 6 Pending acy action cr* the parr cf j congress, the commission recommends j that the president pur. in operation ibis scheme of civil government in such J [ parts of the archipelago ?s arc a' j p: ace. 7 So far as thc finance of ?be Philippines permit, public education should te prcmptiy established, and when established made free to all. 8. The greatest care should bo taken i ia tbe selection or officials for adminis? tration. They should be men of the highest character and fitness, and partisan politics should bc entirely separated from tbe government of the Philippics The commission are unable to find any means of assimilating thc tariff of the Philippines with thai cf the United States, saying that the differences are fundamental and irreconciliable, and thar so long as the existing chasm remains between the economic and social conditions of the Philippines and tho^e of the United Statis, so long it will remain io)praeficab!.- to identify their tariff They therefore reccm r . for the present at least no u*tcmpt r;e ruade to readjust the tariff to our ba^i.-" Textor, Salt-K?iCiim ami Eczema.

Toe cotton market was the topic of | conversation io the eoirmoreiai circle of Augusta yesterday. Toe quotations io yesterday's Chron? icle io reference to fbe local ms<koi, and the interestiog letter of Atwood, Violet & Co., published io the same issue of this paper, caused considerable comment, not only on Cotton R >w, but io ali busioess circles. There was a new impetus given to all business ventures and an atmos? phere of hope buog aroood the community. The farmers' dream of 8 oent8 cotton had beeo realized, and the realization has crystalized ism a halo of promise, of hope and of good cheer, hovers all the south. Knowing that the cottee men would be discusing the situation, a Chronicle reporter sauntered around on Cotton Row and sought interviews on the i subject .with several of the most prominent factors ot tbe cit? Io speaking of the market one of these j gentlemen said: j "The French statistician, Pascb. and j that ally of Eaglisb spinners H M Neil, at 'he beginoing of the season j charged that the southern farmers bad entered into a conspiracy to raise the price of cotton, and that they were raising a great hue and cry about a short crop. We C3Q now see who were ! the conspirators, and that those very I men who were charging this bigantic j crime to the southern cotton producer, j were themselves the arch conspirators. ! Neil and his allies have done ail in j their power to prevent a ri?-e in tbs j price of the stapie, bu:, their dastardly efforts have failed, as present prices j show." I Another factor, who is thoroughly i conversant with the 6?'uatioo, said : "There is one feature of tbs situa j tioo which you might srress. Thc j factories have maoofactured 150 OOO I tons of fertilizers less than the corres- j pooding date for last year. There i? j a shortage of 2,000,000 bales of cot? ton, as compar?d to the seasoo cf j *98 '99. This means 60.000,000 I bushels of cotton seed less than* las* j year. With a decrease io the fertiliz?" j output and a shortage of pixty millions j of basho's of cotton seed the firmer? ' will hardly use as much fertilizers Lr j thc coming crop as was used iast and i previous seasons As tho use of fertilizers materially ?ffeers tie pro j diction, we o:-.y reasonably expec j the crop of 190f? to ce short is pro? portion to the decrease in the u^e of fertilizer:-. A farmer can eel*, his crop tcday for i*ext fail's delivery ar 7 I 4 cents, and it, is not likely that price wiil go beiow thar D?T.:e, unless present indications count for eaugh*.'7 ATWOOD, VIOLET & CO'S COT? TON LETTER. New York, Feb 2 -?tless-s Atwood, Violet & Co. of New York, have jost irsuec fbe ?oi?ow?u? circular : "The corroo expert? from Acerina ! from Jan 27. h to Aug 31?*, 1899, ! both inclusive. w?re 4 129 000 baie?, j "From Sept l^r, 1S99. to Jan 27rb. | 1900. there had been r-xpert^-d from j this country nearly 1,900.000 bales loss than from 'Sept Is*, 1898, to Jan j 27th. 1899. .'Consequently, ro equi) the total i ?xport?; from Sept I-f, 1898, to Aug 31st. 1899. thero must be exported from this country, from Jan 27th, to Aug 31st, 19. 6,500.000 bales of cotton ' ? ?show the impossibility ot esr,, ^.i any such quantity, wc sub mil ? following : .'The total visible supply of Ameri? can cotton in this country ou 27th\iostaot j was 1,748,000 bales, and on the same date, the amount marketed of the pres? ent crop, accord".g to the Financial Cnrooicie. had been 6.578,819 bales. "Assuming as we do ttat this crop will realize 8,750,000 bales, it means that the invisible supply in this coun try was, on the 27th instant, about 2,200.000 baies, which, added to the visible supply, gives a total of both in this country, on the 27th instant, of about 3 94^,000 bales "The Financial Chronicle of the 27th instant, makes southern con? sumption to that date since Sept 1st, 1899, 611,000 balee, and northern mill takings to same date 1,583 393 bales, au aggregate of 2,193,000 bales. "The total of northern spinners takings and southern consumption, for all o? last season was 3.589,494 bales Consequently. if this country consumes no more than iast season ( when as it will consume 250,(100 to 300,000 bales i?: excess of last sea son), it means that to equal it, 1 396,000 bales wili Lt; required be tween Jan 27 til arni Aug 31st, I OOo, for domestic consumption, in audi? tion to 2,193,000 bales, as above, to the 27 th instant "Then, again, there must bo car tied over on Sept 1st, next, in this country, at ?east 400,000 bales ot visible and invisible supply, and deducting these two amounts frons 3.948,000 bales, it shows that there will be left for export, not only to Europe, but to China, Japan, Mexico and Cauada, from Jin 27th to Aug 31st, 1900, about 2,152,000 bales, against exports during the same period last year of 4,129,000 bales .'These figures are startling be? cause of the supply, particularly when taking them in connection with ? the world a consumption of Amen" i can cotton in regard to which we j have to say, as follows : "According to the authority on European mill stocka and consump? tion (Mr Thomas Ellison) the aggre | gate amount consumed by Engiish I and Continental spiners is now 163, ! OOO bales weekly, of ail kinds, of 500 pounds each .'Taking the daily report of the Liverpool market, it shows that the proportion of American cotton sold, to that of all kind*, is about 90 per cent, and, no doubt, the same pro portion is true of the daily conti nental sales of cotton of ali kinds ! Assuming, however, that only 85 per cent of European consumption is American cotton, and this represents, ? out of 163,000 bales weekly, about 139,000 bales of American ' The weekly consumption of south? ern mills, according to the Financial Chronicle and Secretary Hester, is 30,000 bales "The consumption by nothern mills ? must certainly be 40,000 bales week ly, or a total of 209,000 bales "To this must be added the con? sumption of American, by China, Japan, Mexico and Canada, aod elsewhere .'Assuming that this aggregate ia j only 6.000 bales weekly it gives a I total weekly consumption by the ? world of 215,000 bales of American, or 11,180 000 bales per annum "It can be safely said, however, that the spinning world is today consuming, of American cotton, an amount per annum of 11,250,000 bales, equal to the largest oonsump ! i tiou on record-that of last year, I i when it was largely stimulated by ! j the low price I "The world's buying power, how ever, has increased so materially during the past twelve months, as to j show that the higher prices for cot i toD, instead of lessening consump? tion, is stimulating the productive? ness of the world's cotton raanufac turing industries. .'With the crop this season of j even 8,750,000 bales, and adding to it 11.000,000 bales brought over on I September 1st last, of the world's I visible supply of American of 1,962, j 1000 bales would still leave on ! i September 1st, 1900, a deficit be- j j tween supply and -consumption of \ j 1,500,000 bahs, but it wouid also leave the world's visable suppply dangerously smalier than on Septem ! ber 1st. of any year since 1889, the crop of wnich season was 7,311,000 baies arid at which time the price of middling cotton in New York was llj cents against 8| cjnts today '.'Any one eau reasonably antici pate from these statistical conditions, as we have presented them, an ad var-cs of great proportions, and, in giving this data as herein contained, we do so in order to show what has been, for a long time past, the basis | of our bullish views for the staple, \ and which we have continually put forth, in our market letters to the incal and southern press, during the past five months.

THE PAULIST MISSION. The mission conduced by Father Barke at St Jo?e. b's Cbapel. was well attended. Uce of th'-' most interest i g fa-.tures of the mis? sion wa* the Q lestion Box A great man? qie ticns were answered to an inre?igen* n,ant.er ov Father Burke We print beiow his remarks ?n ref--rence to the infallibility of the Pope : al3o as to why be was a Catholic : "Doe3 rbe infallibility nf the Pope raep.o that he carjr.ot cocstrit sin ? ' Father Burke replied in substance HS foilowa; Such a question could arise ooiy from a mistasen nation of what is the Catholic doc Mine of iri?a'?r.iiity. In the first place let mi* teil yon what it is not. Wren we say the pope is iotVt? li - le we do not mean that he is imyeccaole ; we do not maan that be cannot commit s;ri h would be j m as reasonable to say that a judge or the suprexe court, in virtue ct his > r5:e, could not, in his private life, be guilty of a oreacb of the lavr as to Say that the pope, becaase be is infallible, cannot como.it a sin. What, then, is infalli? bility ? Let us come to it in th's way Sup? pose you happened to be traveling io R^me and you met the pope You asked bim some questioo about belief or moral conduct. He aoswered you. Would bi3 word be infalli? ble ? No, it would not. Suppose again, you went to St Peter's and heard the pope preach upon some point of faith or morals, would his utterance be infallible? No, it would not. Suppose trae pope wrote a letter to you, or wrote a book, would the opinions or be? liefs there set down be his infallible tiecisioct? No, they would not. Again, suppose you were to ask the POD tiff bis opinioo, let us say, about Sooth African politics, or about bimetallism, or any ether questioo, would not the Pope's words on any of these points be infallible? Most assur? edly not. The infallibility of the Pope does not, therefore, mean that be is inspired as Holy Scripture is inspired, or that he caa re? ceive cr give to meo a new doctrine other than tboee taught by Christ aod His apostles: it does oot mean that he cao decide matters of science or Net entirely independent of doc? trine; it does not mean that be cannot err when be writes or talks or preaches on nut? ters of religion. The Pope is infallible only wheo, as a teacher of the who e church, be pronounces that a certain doctrine of faith or morality is contained in the deposit of faith " "Why I am a Catholic " The discourse dealt with the fundamental reasons why a Catholic sees in his church the meaos of salvation. Ia one portion, dwelling upon the necessity of a living, infallible teacher, Father 3urke said : .'Unparalleled as the Bible'is as a writren work, divinely inspired as no other word is, the otject cf the deepest reverence of all Catholics, there is one rbing wbicb it ia not and enano: le, tbat is the soi? guide to our fanh J*su3 Christ did cot leave one siegle docu? ment behind bim. Christianity existed for nearly ten years before the first word of the New Testament was written ; it existed for nearly sixty years before toe last booii wes written; it existed for nearly.four hundred years before the C^non of the Scriptures was fixed. It existed tor nearly fifteen hundred years before th* invention of printing, op to winch ?i2!e it was impcssib!c to spread the written tvotd sufficiency to mike it the teacher cf men. We must have another guide to religious tn.h therefore, ?nd that wq Snd in a living, infallible Church, divinely guided to lead men, and wi>n necessary to inter? pret the Scriptures themselves."
