Attempts Made to Amend the Bill Fail,
and it Goes in as Originally
Presented.
Bill will be Rushed through Immediately
to Prevent Complications in
Customs.

"aSnluSCOn, DEC. ll.-Ile RepuDllC-
an members of the ways and means
committee has agreed on a Philippine
tariff measure and later the entire
membership of the committee, Demo
Gratis and Republicans, was called for
the first time. At an early meeting of
the Republican members, Colonel Ed
wards, chief of the instllar division of
the war department, was further heard
as to the methods employed in f1Ham-
ing the schedule of rates on imports
to the Philippines. In particular he
brought out the fact that care was
taken to consult with the interested
Industries whenever delicate ques-
tion Of adjustment arose. The war de-
partment showing brought out the fact
that in effect the United States en-
joys preference under the present
Philippines rate for, although no pref
erence is expressed, yet articles are
so describsS as to prefer the American
products. Canned goods are specified
as marked instance Of this, the de-
scription being such as to fit the Amer
lean product and give it decided ad-
vance over foreign canned goods.
Mr.. Russell's proposition to impose
80 per cent of the Dingley rates, and
Mr.. Tawney's to repeal the export tax
in the Philippines, were voted down,
8 to 5. The Cuban commission,
through Chairman Payne, asked for a
hearing, but upon Mr. Russell's nao-
tion they were advised that no hear
ing would be given until after the hol-
idays, the object being to postpone the
question of reciprocity until then. ~ The
committee was formally organized and
ub-committees appointed.r .,.-~
The bill agreed upon is designated a
temporary measure and provides that
the tariff of the Philippine commits
sion shall have full force and effect.
Upon all goods coming from the Phil
ippines to the United States the pres
ent rates of the Dingley law shall be
levied and collected. The same ton
mage taxes shall be levied upon ves-
sells coming into the United States
from the Philippines as levied on YES
sells coming from foreign countries un-
til Jan. l, 1905, with a proviso that the
coastwise laws of the United States
shall not apply to foreign vessels ply
ing between the United States and the
Philippines. Ali duties and tonnage
taxes collected either in the. Philip
pines or the United States are to be
converted into the Philippine treasury.
Articles exported to the Philippines.
subject to internal revenue tax, shall
be exempt from such tax and pay only
the duty provided for in the Philip
pines.
The Democratic members were in
formed of the programme regarding
the bill, which includes reporting it
on Friday and passing it next Tuesday
under special rule.

"We came here at the request of the
United Irish League. which is the Or

months ago and which resulted in the
return to the English parliament of a
body @s Nationalist members, all
bound together in one political party

President Informs the Cabinet of MIR.
Carnegie's Plan and it is Gen
orally Discussed.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Carroll D.
menf of labor, made the following
statement as to Mr.. Carnegie's endow-
ment of national university at Wash
ington:
THE general discussion which has
been carried on during the last 25
years in relation to the establishment
of a rational university at Washington
has eliminated in a magnificent plan
and endowment by Andrew Carnegie
For number of years the university
idea held sway, but about two years
ago the matter was taken up by the
Washington Academy of Sciences and
this body, in cooperation with the
George Washington Memorial associa-
ton, formulated a definite plan which
differed radically from the university
plan contemplated in the earlier years.
This resulted last spring, as was then
published, in the organization of the
Washington Memorial Institution. The
plan was, in brief, as follows:
First. Organization private
foundation Independent Of government
support or control.
Second. Objects-(A). To facili-
tate the use of the scientific and other
resources of the government for re-
search. B). To cooperate with uni
versities, colleges and individuals in
securing the properly qualified per
sons and opportunities for advanced
study and research.
"Dr. Daniel C. Gilman, ultimately
president Of the Johns Hopkins uni
versity, was elected director of the in
stitution.
when Mr. Carnegie came to con
slider the question of endowing a ma
tional university at Washington he in
vestigated the whole subject with his
usual thoroughness and found that al
institution devoted to research and the
training of capable persons was more
in accord with his conceptions thar
the establishment of university that
would be A rival of the already exist
ing universities of the country.
How far he was led to this conclu
sion by the work that had been done
by the institutions in Washington is
unknown, but his action indicates thai
he had faith in the general plan that
had been developed and crystallized in
this city.
1T is probable that the Washington
Memorial Institution will suspend it's
operations, for it is understood that
Mr.. Carnegie's plan not only embraces
all the proposed activities of the in.
stitution, but goes far beyond these "

Crandfather's Way.

Conservatism in agricultural meth
DDS is all right up to certain point,
but we still always like to see a man
doing little experimenting with new
methods and new things. Grand
fathers way was always the best for
pioneer conditions, without doubt,
but his way of doing things will hard
ly pay in these DAYS of high-priced
land and high-priced farm labor. A
modern farmer cannot afford to make
his own axe helves, fork-handles and
bob sleighs or let his stock run to the
hay stack to save the work of feed
ing it, or made his own sorghum for
sweetnin', or have his own grist OF
wheat ground or butcher his own
meats, or make his own butter, or
have his wife make his wamus and
overalls, for modern machinery and
cooperative effort can do all these
things at. so much less cost. The
wideawake man will let others
do all these things and many others
things and will devote his energies
along the line of growing better crops
and keeping better stock.

Will Kill the Trees.

A writer in one of the leading agri-
cultural journals, referring to the
keeping of flock of sheep in the or
chard makes the questionable state
ment that the tramping Of the sheep
around the trees tends to conserve
the moisture in the ground and so
benefits the orchard. Our experience
teaches us that the reverse of this is
true and that If one wants to rob a
tree of all moisture there is no surer
way to do it than to pack the earth
hard over it's root system. On all
the prairie soils of the country no
native tree save the box-elder and
burr oak, let alone fruit trees, will
long endure the tramping of stock
around their roots. just note how
quickly grove of native timber will
go all to pieces when the grove is
used as herd ground.

Sheep Breeds.

We are asked which is the best
breed of sheep for the farmer who
wants to keep small flock on his
farm. This question of breeds is so
much matter of personal fancy that
it PRACTICAL resolves itself into the
assertion that there is no best breed
of anything. We may say this, how
ever, any breed is better than no
breed. The Merinos are among the
hardest of our sheep, produce an oily
and fine textured fleece and small car
cass of mutton. The Cotswolds have
q large mutton carcass, coarse, long
wool and are especially valuable as
producers of high-priced early lambs.
The Shropshires are good, all round
breed for the average farmer, hardy,
fair mutton animals, giving heavy
fleece of good quality. Stated in an
other way which will be readily un-
derstood, it may be said that the Mer-
mos are the Berkshires, the Cots
wolds the Chester Whites and the
Shropshires the Poland Chinas of the
sheep family.

being for him to get married and live
