PHILIPPINE TARIFF CAUSES UNEASINESS TH Republican Leaders in Sen ate in Dire Distress Over Situation— Governor Taft and Beet Sugar Men Take Opposite Views. Tariff Measure Passed House Without Trouble, But Causes Anxiety Among Members of Upper Body. Doctrine of Protection.

The Republican leaders in the Senate are in a dilemma over the Vhilippine tariff situation, and before the mat ter is settled it is certain to cause them much uneasiness. On the one hand there is tke Philipine Commission with Gov ernor Taft at its head, making an ur gent and even pathetic appeal for a re duction of tariff duties upon goods com fng from the islands into the United States; on the other hand there is the grave danger of doing great damage to the sugar and tobacco industry in the United States, these two products, with hemp, comprising the bulk of the ex ports of the archipelago. Already these interests are at work to prevent any re duction in the tariff schedules. It is between the demands of the Philippine Commission and the protests of the sugar and tobacco interests that the Republican leaders stand, and some of them are beginning to rue the day when the far off islands of the Pacific were gcquired by the United States. a a a a a a ST A NN A IL

Is The Philippine tariff bill as it passed the House last session fixed the dutieg upon articles coming into the United States from the islands at 50 per cent of the Dingley schedules. In the Sen ate the rates were increased to 756 per cent of the Dingley tax, and the House was forced to accept the increase, not withstanding the statements of Governor Taft and others that such duties were a positive check to growth of trade and commerce between the United States and its insular possessions.

Tariff Bill Passed House.

In response to the general! demand from the islands for a reduction of du ties, Representative Cooper, chairman of the Committee on Insular Affairs of the House, introduced a bill the second day of this session fixing the duties upon Philippine products at 25 per cent of the Dingley rates. Tie Ways and Means Committee acted favorably upon the measure, aithough the Democrats pro ‘posed free trade amendments. The bill passed the House without difficulty, and is now in the hands of the Senate Com mittee on Philippines. It is, therefore, in the Senate as In the case of the measure last session, the fight will be made against allowfag Philippine suger

VEST AGAIN REFUSES 10 OPPOSE GOV. STONE EE] Will Not Be Tool of Mis sourian’s Enemies. 2 pe

Senator George G. Vest of Missouri Is spending the holidays in Washington, re gardless of the iact that the Legislature of his State meets next week to elect a United States Senator to succeed him. sry aid 4 pe

It is a well-known fact that the ven erable Missouri statesman has no inter est in this procedure Fle has reiterated the statement he made six years ago, when elected for the fourth successive time, that he would retire at the end of that term and never again ask prefer ment at the hands of his party. The present Legislature is controlled by ex Governor Stone, which of itself is suffi cient reason for Senator Vest's display of indifference. The senior Senator from Missouri has little love for the exgov ernor, who is to gucceed him.

J o 4 J

It is known that an authorized inter. view was sent West last night in which Senator Vest asserted in most positive terms that he had no thought of revok ing. his declaration made to the Legisla ture which elected him six years ago. This interview was given in answer to efforts made by opponents of exGov ernor Stone to create a fight against his election by again placing the pres ent Senator In the field.

The antagonism to ex-Governor Stone is the reeult of his attitude on the ques tion of trusts, and capitalists, not oniy

the young man L IN JAPAN. x y nd i will he Japan other J. and tobacco to come into the United States in competition with the domestic product, Governor Taft's Position. It is patent to the members of the Philippines Committee in the Senate that Governor Taft's interest and solicitude, and no doubt properly so, are for the ‘material welfare and prosperity of the islands over which he exercises jurisdic tion, and that he is giving them con sideration before he does strictly Ameri can interests at home. The Republican leaders have no criticism to pass upon him for that, as they realize he is charged with a great responsibility, and has wrought a wonderful work in bring ing order out of chaos in the islands, and is entitled to a large amount of credit for the conditions which now pre vail in the islands. At the same time they appreciate the fact that his de mands are Incompatible with the preser ‘vation of the doctrine of protection, and ‘that to accede to the demands will ‘doubtless mean to do injury to Ameri can sugar and tobacco interests. Vice Governor Wright, when he was before the Philippines Committee, made the statement that under proper methods of cultivation Philippine land will pro duce five tons of sugar cane to the acre, an amount which is equal to the produc tion of the fertile fields of Hawaii, while the best that can be done in Louisiana is one and one-half and two toms to the acre. Besides there are millions of acres, and when al is fully developed with American capital the Philippines could almost if not quite produce the sugar supply of the world. Hence both the beet and the cane sugar ir.erests will oppose to the last any reducticn upon Philippine sugar. Much the same condition exists with regard to tobacco.

A d— Question of Labor. There is another factor which enters into the situation. It is the question of labor. The sugar industry in the islands cannot be developed without coolie labor, as it is a well established fact that the average Filipino will not work to profit in the cane fields. Under the Chinese ex clusion act, the Chinese coolles are ex cluded from the Philippines, but there is nothing to affect the impertation of Jap anese coolles who are capable of doing the work as well, and it is belleved will meet the labor demands. However, there is little doubt if the sugar industry finds {teelf in need of Chinese cooller It will devise a method of obtaining the laborers who are so close at hand.

These are problems which are causing the leaders in the Senals a great deal of concern, and will continue to do so. Either the material welfare of the Phil ippines must be sacrificed, they believe, or an injury must be done to American industrics, The Democrats are sitting back, saying nothing and rather enjoying the perplexing situation im which their Republican brethren find themselves over

the Philippines, and are wondering if, after all, their political opponents do not deep down in their hearts wish they could cut loose from the archipelago. BRYAN DENIES THAT HE WREGKED HIS PARTY

Calls Defeat of 1894 Most Sweeping of All

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 26.—Answering what he says is an oft-repeated charge that Bryanism is responsible for present Democratic conditions, Mr. Bryan says in the “Commoner:"’ “The exponents of reorganization either ignorantly or willfully misstate the facts. The position taken by the Demo cratic party on the money question could not be truthfully described as a ‘Populist silver craze.” The silver plank of the Chicago platform was in line with the action of the party for twenty years.

“Time and time again, Democrats in Congress had voted almost solidly for free and unlimited coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation. In fact, this proposition never failed to com mand a majority of the Democratic votes in both House and Senate until Mr. Cleveland's second administration when he used public patronage to induce enough Democrats to join the Republi sans to carry through the Wilson biil. “The defeat of 1854, after Cleveland had carried through his financial policy, was more sweeping than in either 1898 or 19500. “The Democratic party has never done anything to alienate honest business interests, and it can better afford to etand firm and continue its fight for the people’s interests, awaiting a vindication of its principles.” COMPLAINS OF STREET BLOCKADE The Board of District Commissioners has referred to the Engineer Depart ment a letter of C. H. Campbell rela tive to the condition of the street and sidewalk about the corner of Pennsyl vania Avenue and Seventeenth Street northwest. Mr. Campbell complains that the piles of brick and sand in that locality are an outrage upon the public. He wrote to Major Sylvester in making his complaint and stated that he would get out a warrant for the contractor if that was necessary to bring matters to an issue.

The fifty photographs sent Mr. Bailey will be re turned to the senders. He has declined positively to give the names of these women, for the reason, he says, that many of them are honestly seeking a husband, and that they would, no doubt, make happy homes for them. Many were school teachers, stenog raphers, clerks, and dressmakers. New York leads with sixty-six applications, while Illinois is second, with forty seven. No letters were written by Kan sas women. MORE SHOCKS ARE FELT AT ANDIJAN Earthquakes Continue In Russian Cen tral Asia. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 26.—Accord ing to the latest advices from Andljan, Russian Central Asia, the shocks of earthquake are continuing there. There have been four or five seismic distu' bances daily, and a particularly violent series of shocks during the night of December 22 and the following morn ing set all the roiling stock on the raii way in motion, resulting in a panic among the railroad men.

Bri¢’ dispatches received here describe the situation as horrible. The tempera ture has fallen to the freezing point, and thousands of persons are homeless. One section of the city has been completely destroyed. Only one cotten gin and one church are standing.

Notwithstanding the offers of free transportation they are remaining in the vicinity of the eity, which will be rebuilt if no further serious damage is done. A substantial start has been made in the collection of a relief fund.

NEW PACKING GONGERN MAY BE A MEAT TRUST Blanket Charter l:zsued to Morris Co. CHICAGO, Dec. 26.—~Is the new pack ing concern incorporated in New Jersey Tuegday, under the name of Morris Co., with a capital stock of $5.000,00%, ike nucleus of the long-talked-of meat trust? The question ie suggested by the blar kei charter issued to the company and by the non-committal attitude of the Chicago incorporators who compose the firm of Nelson, Morris Co.

The fire started in the cooperage of the Arbuckle works at Pearl and Plymouth Streets, about a half hour after mid night. The whole building was ablaze when the firemen arrived and five alarms were turned in besides eight calls for special engines. The men who were killed were all working with water tower No. 6 when they met their deaths. The tower was directly in front of the cooperage plant, when the front wall from the top of the fifth story down to the third sto:y sud denly toppled over into the street, bury ing the water tower, the firemen and several citizens in the ruins. Dead When Found. Fireman O'Toole was dead when drag ged from the debris. The fire spread to the Truslow Cork Works. After a desperate fight, with twenty streams of water directed into the building, the fire was under control. The Kirkman soap factory, north of the cork works, also caught fire, but the flames were controlled. The flames shot hundreds of feet into the air and illuminated Brroklyn for miles. The East River was as light as day. From Harlem the fire could be seen plainly. Thousands of people arose from their sleep in Brooklyn with the fear that a great conflagration was going to sweep over the city. BRAKENAN'S TEETH UREW GRILD TO SAFETY s How Lewis Kensil Rescued Tiny Passenger. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26.—Lewis Ken sil, a brakeman in the employ of the Reading Railway, is an unconscious hero. After saving the life of a chiid in a re markabie manner, he went to his home 2313 North Sydenham Street, and went to bed without telling his mother, with whom he lives, of the occurrence. When seen last night he deprecated any pub licity being given to a rare act of hero ism in which he ran the risk of losing his life, As the Frankford train on which Ken sil is employed was pulling out of Wayne Junetjon Station about 7 o'clock Tuesday evening an Italian and his wife and two children scrambied up the steps. The father was carrying the younger of the children and the other, a boy of three or four years, was holding on to his mother’s skirts. The family attempted to cross from one car to another, and all of them got galely over but ihe little boy. He gave a lurch and fell between the platforms. As he fell his dress caught on the wedge of the cut-off lever, so that he hung sus pended, Lis head but a few inches from the ground. Kensil saw him fall and jumped to hig rescue He attempted to catch the boy, but he was In suck a position that he ‘needed both hands to keep from falling after him. There was no time to stop the train, and at any momeat the child ‘might plunge under the wheels, The brakeman placed a foot on each platform, und grasping the rails lowered his body until he could catch the baby’s dress with hus teeth. It was not an easy task to raise him, for he was a stout youngster, and Kensil was handicapped by his position. Then, too. the train was running at a rapid rate and the platforms were anything but steady. It seemed as though both Kensil and the child would fall under the cars, but the brakeman’s nerve and strength won. When finally he rose to his feet and set the little fellow safe and sound inside the car door his face was a deep red and his eyes seemed popping from his head as a result of the terrible exertion.

RICHMOND, Va., Dee. 26. —Christmas was celebrated throughout Virginia with more than usual enthusiasm and a gen eral display of opeunhearted hospitality. In many places it was the first ‘white Christmas” in years, and the snow added attractiveness to the holiday. Scores of churches gave Christinas trees to their Sunday schoel scholars and members Wednesday night and last night, and 2 number of them will be given in other churches each day this week. Besides, there were a large ‘number of church entertainments, with addresses by pasters and laymen, songs and choruses, as well as readings and recitations. At Fredericksburg Capt. L. J.

John Randolph Tucker, as was his custom {or years in the latter's lifetime, by having a number of lis father’s friends at his home Christmas Eve to partake of the good cheer in cident to the season. The strict enforcement of the laws against disorder, loud noises, and fire. works made it an unusually quiet holi day in Norfolk. Dancers and Dinners. A number of dances were given at dif ferent points. The Fredericksburg Ger mau Club gave a dance in the Opera House there, which was decorated with palms, potied plants and running cedar. Donch’s” band, of Washingten, furnished the music. C. il. Howard led the figures and more than vorty couples partici pated, Including a number of visitors. At midnight a sum>tuous supper was served.

The dinner embraced an old-fashioned barbecue—roast shoat, lamb, and other ‘meats, salads, and all that go to make up a sumptwous menu. Wines and drinks were served In the wine room, as was egrnog, the great Christmas drink of Virginians. Everything was informal. There were no set speeches nor toasts. A few re spended to persistent ezlls for speeches, song and stories, and many raconteurs regaled appreciative groups of listenars with well-told stories.

ROANOKE, Va., Dec. 26.—In the small back room of a tenement house on Con monwealth Avenue yesterday little Vip. ginia Smith, aged six years, was burnea to death, her clothing having caught fire from a cook stove. She, with her eight-year old brother, was locked in the Leouse early vesterdusy morning by their mother, Mrs. Olive Smith, who left on an early train for Bedferd City, accompanied by, it is al leged, Herbert Saunders, ostensibly te be married, the license for the wedding having been issued several days azo The mother is said to have been in the habit of leaving her children at home, locking them in until her return. Volumes of smoke were seen issuing from the windows, when passers-by and neighbors broke open the door and found the child, burned almost to a crisp, ly ing on the floor unconscious. Mrs. Smith was recently diyorced from William Smith. It is stated that the children often poured oil into the stove to start the fire, and this may have caused the fatal accideny. The hoy's hands were slightly burned in his attempts to save his sister.

Wedding Broken Up in Strange Manner. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26.—There was to have been a Christmas Eve wedding at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James F. Koons, 1223 North Seventh Street, but the festivities did not take place, be cause the intended bride, Miss Daisy B. Kocns, a pretty girl of nineteen years, eloped with another man than the one to whom she was engaged. Wednesday merning a «dispatch came from Wilmington, Uel., aunouncing that the Rev. R. H. Adams, pastor ¢f Union Methodist Episcopal Church, had married in his parscnage Miss Daisy B. Koons and Morris A. Harrington, both of Phila delphia, on Tuesday evening. There was consternation at the girl's heme, where the wedding preparations were in full blast, and there was con sternation at j-the home of William Pierce, the young man to whom Miss Koons had pledged her troth. Pierce’ was fairly stunned by the news, but with a rare chivalry he refused to believe that his fiancee had been false to him, When the young pair returns to this city—if they do return—they will find their own homes shut against them, and Harrington, who has been working in a jewelry store at small wages, after a long period of illness, will discover also he is out of employment. Mrs. Koons, the girl's mother, is in clined to share Pierce's opinion that Daisy was spirited away, or that some subtle influence was brought to bear upon her, althongh she declares that if this opinion should prove to be untrue she will disown her daughter. “l canoot but think that Daisy wes decoyed or drugged,” she said. “I know positively she hated Harrington. Only a few days ago she tore up his letters and flung them in his face.” James F. Koons, the girl's father, also believes that his dzughter did not marry Harrington of her own free will. 10 DOUBLE SALARY OF PRESIDENT MITCHELL United Mine Workers May Show Appreciation. INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 26.—A move ment has been started among the mine workers to increase the salaries of President Mitchell and Secretary Wil son, and it is probable action will be taken in the matter at the national convention, beginning here on January 19. The salary of President Mitchell is goo a year. Secretary Wilson re ceives $1,500. During the anthracite strike these men contributed 25 per cent of their earnings to the defense fund. Deduct ing this and their regular assessments, Mitchell's salary during the strike ‘was less than $5 a day, while Wilson, for handling large sums, received about $4 a day. The suggestion has come from several mining districts that Mitchell's salary should be advanced to $3,000 a year. The miners are evidently expecling en increase in wages at the coming con ference. The “United Mine Workers’ Journal,” their official orgar, raid yes terday: “It seems to be generally conceded by the coal trade journe): that the miners and mine workers will get &n advance in wages during the coming year. Opinion, however, varies as to the amount of the advance to ve given. The miners and mine workers are cer tainly entitled to a big advance; tre size Will depend upon market condi tions. “The best members should be sent to the national convention to meet the operators. They should be chosen for their knowledge of market coaditions, familiarity with the trade and *n abil ity to state facts ciearly and ‘oacisely. The work of the convention ‘will he of a purely business order, and exact Know ledge of the coal trade will be highly desirable. Clean, cold facts vill form the basis for an advance, and ail shoulda govern themselves accordingly. WOMAR iS ACCUSED OF HUSBAND'S MURDER She Had Lost Heavily in Stocks, and He Carried Insurance. DAVID CITY, Neb., Dec. 26.—Mrs. Lena M. Lillie has been arrested, charged with the murder of her husband, Harvey Lillie, a wealthy lumberman, on October 24.

I IR TC fe i LRT 0 RR 3% WADE TA, AT ud RG A PRR) ec sles Soll adits i Complete Change in Uniforms and Insignia for Good of Service Gradually Made. SE By an order issued last July the uni form of the United States army was modified very greatly and adapted more than formerly to the necessities of the service, which now include tropical as well as Arctic and fighting conditions. New uniforms were devised, and new forms of old uniforms, new decorations {and new corps insignia were invented tall, in gpite of the apparently compli cated .wecrding of the order, intended te make the garb of officers and men more attractive in peace and more workman like in war. By the order as first issued officers had until January 1 to“ procure the new uni form, but this time, was extended until oy 1. As the bocrd which devised the “uniform is now comsidering changes in the details, and as several protests or applications for changes have been made it is possible that the time may be ex tended still further. But that is as may be. Meantime the general idea of the order is still in force. Officers will have to own a full dress uniform, a dress uniform, white uni form, a woolen service uniform, a khaki uniform, and besides these they are au thorized to wear a special full dress uni form and a mess jacket. The full dress uniform is about the same as that now worn, except in details. It consists of a frock coat, trousers or breeches, gold sword belt and a full dress hat, which takes the place of the hideous helmet. The other changes are in the details of the ornamentation of the coat. There is a good deal of gold lace on it in various places. The dress uviform is much lke the present fatigue uniform, consisting of a blouse and its accompaniments, the blouse bearing gold or gilt ornaments and insignia, not quite to the extent of the full dress coat. The white uniform is 2ise a blouse, etc, with the same ornaments and de vices as the dress coat. The woolen service uniform is new; the khaki is the present field service uniform, and con sists of blouse and trousers; bronze metal ornaments and devices are worn j upon it. Most of the uniform prescribed by the new order is already owned by the older officers of the army, and they wili have simply to alter their old dress coats into full dress coats, put new devices and orcaments on their khaki uniforms, and possibly get new dress coats, white uniforms and woolen uniforms. They will certainly have to get sabers where they now have swords, new collar devices and insignia, and caps instead of helmets; but the order, though extreme ly comprehensive, does not require every officer t7 get new everything it calls for. The cost of the new equipment was placed by a service paper at these fig ures: Full dress uniform, from $193 to $224; dress uniform, from $72 to $101: white uniform, from $36.26 to $48.75; woolen service uniform, from $123.50 to $209.50; khaki uniform, frem $46.75 to 74.75; arms £nd equipments, $105.20; a total of from $577.20 to $763.20, not counting the special full dress uniform and the mess jacket.

Jat from $112 to $164 for the former and 350 for the latter, making the total cost ot the new uniforms vary from $759.20 to $977.20 Foot officers 46 not need all the equip ment of mecunted officers, so that nearly halt the cost of the arms and equipment comes off from the total. The figures are high enough anyway, and no civilian with the income of the averags army officer is likelv to spend much at a time as an officer will have to, if he pets a compleie new uniform. Of ccurse. if an officer goés to the most expensive tailors, and especially if he patronizes for his uniforms these tailors who charge higia prices for civil ian elothes and do not ordinarily make uniferms, he can pay a geod deal more than the $477 ailowed by the service pa per. But if he goes to 2 regular uni form house—and he will act wisely ff he does so—he can get his outfit about one-half Jess than the lowest prices quot ed. These are the figurex of some of the principal uviferm concerns in this city: Full dress coat, from $25 to $40, com plete; trauscrs, $i; breeches, $12; cap, from 310 to $12; shoulder knots, from $4.50 to $11; belt, from $5 to $12. Dress uniform: Coat, from $20 {o $35, complete, with collar ornaments; cap, from $5 to shoulder straps, from to $6.59; belt, $3. White uniform: Coat, from $9 to $i2: trousers, from $3 to $8; cap, $3; helmet, $3. Woolen serviee uniform: Coat, from $12 to $15; trousers, from $5 to $8: breeches, from $5 to $10; legging (leather putteej, from $6 to $10. The khaki uniform will cost about $2¢ complete, ‘he cap ang the helmet rais ing the price to about $27. The overcoat will have to be bought by practically all officers, for it is to be of olive-green cloth instead of the pres ‘ent dark blue, and it can be had for from $30 to 350. The special dress uniform is the regu lar civilian evening dress, “with the sleeves of the coat ornamented as are those of the full dress uniform and gold buttons instead of black. Shoulder knots will also be worn. The coat does not bave to be dark blue, even, so civilian evening dress cap be adapted to the army's special full dress. The mess jacket will undoubtedly cost more than any other part of the uniform. These figures show that the unifornt can be bought for less than $300, even if goods of the best quality are used. Besides the clothes, many officers will have to get sabers, and many others will have to Duy field glasses and similar articles of equipment, bringing the totai beyond 3300, say up to nearly $400. But many officers will be able to save by buying the less expensive grades, and will ae iready Dar lore lites) of equivment. I may be doubted if the average officer will have to. spend more ‘than $200 for his new uniform. This is enough for an officer to spend at one time, however, and as the second lieutenant will have to spend about as much as his colonel, he at least will find a hole in his purse which will takes some time to fill. But $250 is easier to pay than 3977 any day in the week. DR. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT Kidney, Liver Bladder CURE. DIRECTIONS, FAY TAKK one, lwo or three tetspoonfuly before or after meals and at bedtime.
