FIGHTING THE TAX ON TEA
House Republicans Against the
Senate Amendment.
SECRET CONFERENCE HELD
Messrs. Doiliver, Coriiss, Tawncv
ana Others Put on War Paint and
propose to Rent Houses for the
summer-Mr. Dingley Temporiz-
ing Where This Schedule Hurts.

We'll, gentlemen we might as weu rent
houses ior the summer, was proposition
which was assented to by humber of
Republicans who met in secret eonclave In
a committee room of the Capitol On Thurs
DAY afternoon. 1t was only new way Of
saying that they intended to fight it out
all summer, the subject OF the conference
being the tax on tea imposed by the Senate.
AT this conference were MI Dolliver,
Mr Dingley, Mr.. Tawney, Nj. Corliss and
some others. Two of thC Sc present had
been teegraphed to for tie purposes Of
the meeting
III mas been felt by Republicans ever
since the reporting of the tariff bill BY
the Senate committee that a serious
biunder was made when tea was taken
from the free list II was argued at the
the tine the bill was being prepared under
the supervision OF Mr. Dingiey that the
placing Of a tax on this article would
be directly In opposition, in the main,
TO the theory of protection, that is OF
nome industries. 1t was argued then,
as 1t is now. that tea is not a product
or tile United States, and that there was
no detriment to any home industry by
keeping it on the free list. The levying
or tax on it, it was said, was an adj
vantage 10 be taken of every class OF
people In the United States, and es-
pecialiy against the poorer class, and that
the erect OF it would be, politically, very
serious on the Republican party Mr.
Dlngley had reported bill which he
Thought would raise sufficient revenue and
yet 10 per cent tax was laid on tea,
the most unpopular levy that could have
been made
The object of this conference was to dis
cuss this tax on tea. 1t resulted in the
determination Of all present, including
some OF the most representative Repub-
Icans, to fight the tax when ii came back
to the House. One expression of opinion
which was Endorsed was that such tariff
should not go through, even at the cost Of
the whole tariff BILL
Mr.. Dingley, of course, did not express
himself SO radically, but he is opposed TO
the tax. lie was rather in favor of tenn
porizing and defeating the obnoxious sched-
ule by reason. and In conference, than in
precipitating fight In the House. He
understands the danger of the situation
considering the aid to be expected from
tie solid Democratic opposition, and kno WIS
that the indefensibiiity OF the tax viii
cause greater detection among the Re-
publicans than is represented by those who
attended this conference
Mr.. 'Dolliver was called upon by a re-
porter of The Times at the Hamilton yes-
tcrday afternoon and an attempt was ma de
to get from him the plans OF the opposition
in general terms. Mr. Dolliver declined TO
be interviewed, although he was told OF the
reports which had leaked ont from this con-
ference. All he would say, however, was
significant. He said that there had not

Moon Heat.

Many people suppose that moonlight
possesses great potency and has won
derful influence on or over animate and
inanimate things on our planet Such
persons should remember that moon
light is only reflected sunlight, and that
the quality and quantity of the light
thus reflected IS not what is generally
imagined. In fact, it is truth which
has often been demonstrated by the
speculative astronomers that it would
take els, 600 full moons 70 afford an
amount of light equal to that emitted
by the sun, and, furthermore there is
only sky space for rs, 600 such disks.
Some heat comes from moonlight
However, it IS in quantities so small
that 1t cannot be measured by ordinary
instruments. Flammarlon says that the
amount of heat emitted by full moon
while at the zesith cannot be more
than One-eighty -thousandth of the
amount that the sun supplies when
standing on the meridian on favorable
day In July. Such being the case, it Is
really surprising that intelligent people
should consider that the moon has such
a wonderful influence over terrestrial
affairs. st. Louis Republic
