CHAIRMAN DlNCLEY SAYS 50
No Revision of the Tariff for at
Least a Year.
WAR TAX REMAINS IN FCROE
Government Will Need the Revenue Pro-
duced Thereby for Some
Months to Come.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The Posi-
says: Chairman Dingley states that the
war tax will not be abolished at the
coming short session of congress and
that there will be no revision of the tar
if whatever. Mr.. Dingley, in an inter.
view, says:
''The government will need for some
time all the revenue produced by the
war taxes. During the month of Octo'
Der the war expenditures exceeded the
war revenue by some $4,000, 600 and
this month they will be SIC, 0O0, 600 in
excess. This being the case there will
be no changes. The war revenue act
will continue in force and unchanged
except perhaps in a few minor admins
trative features, for at least year
longer"
1T is hardly necessary to add" con-
tinued Mr.. Dingley, ''that there will be
no revision of the tariff. although I have
seen some statements to the effect that
such revision is contemplated"

already gotten plans on foot for an Or

The plans have been practically formu-

save the building.

Report of the Executive Conn
mittee Sustained by the
Vote of 285 to II.
FIGHT A MOST BITTER ONE
Debate Lasts for Hours and
Considerable Feeling Is
Shown at Times.
Resolution Introduced Later
Which May Result In
Another Battle.

ST.. PAUL, Nov. 15.-The Woman's
Christian Temperance union, by a vote
of 285 in the affirmative to II in the
negative, dropped the Woman's Temple
in Chicago as an affiliated interest and
disclaimed all connection with or inter-
est in the building which is intended to
be q memorial to the late temperance
leader, Miss Frances E. Willard.
The action of the convention was
taken after long session and a pro-
tracted debate, during which many bit
ter words were exchanged between the
leading advocates on both sides of the
Temple question. The lie direct was
not passed, but several times during the
afternoon delegates called each other to
account for misstatements, and it was
even charged by some that matters of
record had been distorted to apply to
the cases point.
The Templates, as the advocates of
the retention of the Temple are called,
declared that the w. c. T. U.
Had Repudiated Debt
which it was in honor bound to pay,
while the Templates denied it.
They did not like the term reputation
and said the W. C. T. U. simply with
drew from any obligation to stand back
of the Temple project.
After the vote had been announced,
Mrs. Marion H. Durham Of Iowa offered
q resolution to the effect that, while the
w. c. T. U. no longer recognized the
Temple debt as legal obligation, it
still would consider it moral obliga-
ton against it. This resolution, it was
agreed, will be considered later. It
may result in another battle, for there
are many delegates in the convention
who said that if they thought the drop
ping of the Temple would absolve the
w. G. T. U. from the moral phase of
the question they would vote to retain
the Temple. ~ = '"' re "';'S

II do not believe" he said, "that the

ASK FOR FURTHER TIME

Joint Session of the Peace Commission
Postponed at spain's Request.
PARIS, Nov. 15.-Secretary Moore of
the United States commission received
from Secretary Ojeda of the Spanish
commission during the morning, note
saying that the Spanish commissioners
had found it impossible to prepare their
memorandum for presentation during
the day, and asking if the United States
commissioners would be inconvellienced
if, owing to the late arrival from Mad
rid of expected data, the Spaniards
should request that the next meeting be
deferred. until Wednesday. Secretary
Moore replied that the American COM
nlissioners were quite ready to accom-
modate the Spaniards IN this matter,
deferred until Wednesday.
Importance is attached to this delay,
1t being regarded as indicating that the
Spanish commissioners are preparing
for final stand in these negotiations.
and it may now be definitely stated
that they will not sign treaty Of peace
which yields to Spain no more from the
Philippine islands than has thus far
been offered or indicated by the Ameri-
cans.
No Break in Negotiations.
The Spaniards, however in this pres
entation will not declare all negotia-
tons closed. They will insist that the
sovereignty of Spain over the Philippine
islands is beyond question, but will an
nounce Spain's readiness to yield that
sovereignty for an adequate equivalent,
and will then invite negotiations
under the Spanish construction of
the protocol. The American COM
missioners may then communicate
their final attitude to the Spaniards, but
the Americans are expected, at future
meeting, to present a carefully prepared
conclusion Of their position and condi-
lions. Should they be no different from
those already presented, the time will
then have arrived when Spain will de-
clare herself helpless. though steadfast,
and will await the next step of tie
United States, whatever it may be.
Thus Spain will be able to say to her
creditors that she has done her utmost
and that the issue must rest between
them and the United States.

The armored cruisers New York and
Brooklyn are in splendid condition; the
battleship Massachusetts will have COM
