THROATS CUT
Upper Michigan Man Attacks
His Family and Kills
Himself.

Calumet, Mich, Dec. 10-While in a fit
Of dependency over his failure to find
work and provide for his family, John
Kinonen cut his wifes' throat, slashed the
throat of his 16-year- old son and slashed
a younger son, and then cut his own
throat.
Kinonen is dead, but the others, while in
a serious condition, are not fatally
wounded and the attending physicians
think they will recover,
The awful attempt at murder and the
suicide took place at Copper Falls, twen-
ty-two miles from this city, at a. m.
to-day.
All the family were sleeping when
K1nonen arose and, taking his razor from
the bureau, crept to the bed where his
wife lay. In moment he had cut a wide,
gaping wound in her throat.
He then went to the bedroom of his
sons and cut their throats while they
slept. He then passed the keen blade
across his own throat, dying within few
moments.
The younger boy, who was less severely
injured than the rest, ran to a neighbor
for help and doctors soon arrived and took
charge of the wounded

Washington, Dec. 10.-Another strong
argument in favor Of retaining congress-
men in Office term after term was made
to-day by Speaker Henderson's announce
ment OF the standing committee of the
Fifty-seventh congress. In the last con-
gress Minnesota had three chairmanships,
Heatwole, printing! McCleary, library
and Tawney, Industrial arts and exposi-
tions. In this congress the state has five
chairmanships, in addition to the three
just mentioned. Fletcher gets Gamble s
old committe on expenditures on public
buildings, and Eddy gets mines and min
ing. Only two members of the delegation
Stevens and Morris, are without chair
manships, but their assignments are OF
the first Importance SO far as the in
terests Of Minnesota are concerned.
Morris Is on the committee on
rivers and harbors and Stevens is on the
committees of military affairs and on
merchant marine and fisheries. Tawney
holds the places he had in the last con-
gress. So do Stevens, Heatwole, Nor
ris and McCleary. Fletcher drops the COM
mittee on territories for the committee
on levees and improvements of the Mis-
sissippi river, which brings him into
closer touch with the work on lock and
dam No. 2. Eddy holds his old committee
| assignments, going to the chairmanship
of mines and mining by reason of the
death of the old chairman, Crump, OF
Michigan. Eddy is second man on public
lands and third man on Indian affairs
which places carry subchairmanships OF
the highest Importance to Minnesota.
Marshall OF North Dakota gets places
| on Pacific railroads and private claims.
Martin of South Dakota gets two i'm
portant assignments-public lands and
public buildings and grounds. AS member
| or the latter he will be in position to do
something for Deadwood's public building,
Burke of South Dakota takes Gamble s
place on mines and mining He drops pub
lie lands, which is secured by Martin, and
gets Indian affairs number three In other
respects his assignments are as they were
IN the last congress. The state is we'll
taken care of, every one of it's important
interests being covered by the Burke and
Martin appointments. FIetchers chair
manship is not of great public fmpor-
tance, but it means lie will have a COM

Republican Members of Ways
and Means Agree.
FULL COMMITTEE MEETS
Tariff Laws of Philippine Commis.
sion to Be in Force.
DINGLEY RATES LEVIED HERE
Duties and Tonnage Taxes to Be
Covered Into the Philip
pine Treasury.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The republican
members of the ways and means commit
tee to-day agreed upon a Philippine tariff
measure and later the entire membership
of the committee, democrats and repub-
licans, was called together for the first
time.
At an early meeting of the republican
members, Colonel Edwards, chief of the
insular division of the war department,
was heard as to the methods employed in
framing 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 a delicate question of ADJUST
ment arose. The war department showing
brought out the fact that in effect the
United States enjoys a preference under
the present Philippine rates, for although
no preference is expressed articles are so
described as to prefer the American
products. Canned goods are specified as a
marked instance of this, the description
being such as to At the American product
and give it decided advantage over for
eign canned goods.
Mr. Russells proposition to impose so
per cent Of the Dingley rates and Mr..
Tawney's to repeal the export tax in the
Philippines were voted down, three to FIVE.
The Cuban commission, through Chairman
Payne. asked for a hearing. but upon Mr..
Russells motion it was advised that no
hearing would be given until after the
holidays, the object being to postpone the
matter of Cuban reciprocity until then.
The committee was formally organized
| and subcommittee appointed.
Provisions of the Bill.
The bill agreed upon is designated as
a temporary measure and provides that
the tariff laws of the Philippine COM
mission shall have full force and effect.
Upon all goods coming from the Philip
pines to the United States the present
rates of the Dingley law shall be levied
and collected. The same tonnage taxes
shall be levied upon vessels coming into
the United States from the Philippines
as levied upon vessels coming from for
eign countries until Jan. 1, 1905, with
proviso that the coastwise laws of the
United States shall not apply to foreign
vessels plying between the United States
and the Philippines. All duties and ton
mage taxes collected either in the Philip
pines or in the United States are to be
covered into the Philippine treasury. Ar
ticles exported to the Philippines subject
to internal revenue tax shall be exempt
from such tax and pay only the duty
provided for in the Philippines
The democratic members were informed
of the program regarding the bill, which
| includes reporting 1T on Friday and pass
| ing it after one days debate next Tues
| day, under a special rule.

Senate Committee Bound to
Stand Still.
CAGES PROPOSITIONS
Every Recommendation of the Sec
retary "Turned Down"
RETIREMENT OF THE GREENBACKs
Senator's Oppose This, as Well as
an Increased Issue of Bank
Notes.


Washington, Dec. 1O-There is no dis
position on the part of the finance COM
mittee of the senate to frame any financial
legislation and it is no secret that those
who control the committee are strongly
opposed on principle to all Secretary
Cages recommendations. They don't be-
lieve in doing business on bank assets and
they don't hesitate to say so.
Two or three of the senators on this
committee have carefully read Secretary
Cages argument in favor Of the expansion
of the currency by the retirement of the
greenbacks and the increased issue of
bank notes. but they say that it would be
better to allow the newspapers to discuss
these recommendations and the people to
digest them than to bring them forward
for consideration in congress at this time.
They will, therefore, be pigeon -holed.

tiers within the second indemnity limits
of the Northern Paciic Railroad company
east of Duluth. The company fled selec-
tions for these lands some years ago.
They were selected by the secretary of
the interior on the ground that the legal
terminal was at Duluth. The supreme
court reversed this decision and located
the terminal at Ashland, Wis. Between
the dates of these decisions the company
sold lands embraced IN its selections and
the department allowed entries to be made
on them. Cases against some settlers have
gone into the United States court in Min
nesota and Judge Lochran has decided
them in favor Of the settlers. 1t is ex-
pected that the secretary will follow
that decision in 1isposing of the cases
before him and that the supreme court
will finally have to pass on the question
