Special to the Telegraph
Washington, Aug. 17.—The Philip
pine bill took final shape to-day, but
the independence of the islands is ap
parently as far off as ever.
The Senate ratified the conference
report on the Philippine bill by a vote
of 37 to 22, but the Clarke amendment
providing for a fulfillment within four
years of Democratic promises made for
sixteen years to set the islands free
was elimlnatedi with the amendment to
establish prohibition. But the pre
amble to the bill carries the familiar
recital that "it is and always has been
the intention of the United States to
grant independence wTien a stable gov
ernment has been established"
Senator Borah, of Idaho, characteriz
ed the bill as a mockery which merely
deceived the Filipino. He urged that it
should not be passed. Voting for the
bill, he said, bound a man to noth
ing.
Senator McLean, of Connecticut, Re
publican, taunted the Democrats with
not having carried out their promises
with respect to the Philippines. They
had tried conscientiously, he said, but
hadi failed ignominiously. To a ques
tion from Senator Williams, of Missis
sippi, as to why "you Republicans don't
help us," Mr. McLean retorted: "We
are trying to help you to do something
and to stop lying to these Filipinos."
The conference report, which now
goes to the House for approval, abolish
ed the present Philippine commission
appointed by the President and pro
vides that the Filipinos shall elect a
Senate, the first election to take place
t.?xt month. The House is already
elected by the people. With the elec
tion of the Senate the electorate will
be increased by about 600,000. About
200,000 Filipinos vote now. The office
of govefnor general is retained and
