| PHILIPPINE TARIFF PASSES HOUSE.
Strict Party Vote Against 1t Ex.
cept Three From Louisiana.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The
bill temporarily providing reve-
nue. for the Philippine Islands
passed the house today by a vote
of 1o3 to 12S. Five Republicans
-Messrs. Mccall of Massachu-
sets, Littleheld of Maine, Heat
wole, EDDY and Stevens of Min
nesota-voted with the Demo
Gratis against the bill and three
Democrats-Messrs. Robertson,
Davey and Broussard of Louisi-
any-voted with the Republicans
for it. Mr.. Meyer, Democrat
of Louisiana, was paired in favor
of the bill with Mr.. Foster, an
Illinois Democrat. Mr.. Warner
of Illinois, who voted against the
Puerto Rican bill last congress,
voted for the Philippine measure
today. Mr.. Crumpacker of Indi-
ana, who also voted against the
Puerto Rican bill, was absent.
In the course of the debate to-
day the Democrats we're several
times tainted with their failure to
present an alternative proposition
for the pending measure but just
before the vote was taken on the
passage of the bill the attitude of
the minority was defined in a mo-
ton to recommit, offered by Mr..
Richardson of Tennessee, the mi
nority leader. It instructed the
ways and means committee to re-
port the bill back amended so as
to reduce the customs and inter-
nal revenue laws of the United
States to a revenue basis, to ex-
tend them to the Philippines
until the latter, with the aid of
the United States, should be able
to set up a stable, Independent
government. This proposition
did not command a Republican
vote and the three Louisiana
Democrats above mentioned
voted agaist it. Mr.. Meyer of
Louisiana was paired against it.
The speakers today were
Messrs. Hepburn, Iowa. and Dal-
zell of Pennsylvania, for the bill.
and Messrs. Henry Of Texas,
Williams of Mississippi, Mccall
of Massachusetts,, Green of Penn
sylvania, and Mcclellan of New
York against.

JOHN LYSTER KILLED.

John L. bySter, fireman on the
Santa Fe was killed on the cutoff from
Lawrence to Ottawa, near Lawrence,
last Friday evening. He was shaking
the CRATES of the engine and 10 some
manner lost his balance and fell out of
the cab, his head striking a tie near
the track. The train was going at
full speed and he struck the tie with
such force that his skull was crushed.
He lived till the next morning but ne
yer regained consciousness.
John Blake was the engineer but he
was busy about his engine and did not
see Lyster fall He finally missed him
and stopped the train. The train was
backed down the track short dis
tance and John was found lying by the
tie on which he had fallen.
He was sent to the hospital at To
peka where he died about 4 o'clock
Saturday morning.
The remains were brought back to
Chanute, Sunday evening where he
has lived for many years.
The Workmen, of which lodge he
was member. met the remains at the
depot and escorted them to his home
on Highland Ave. He was buried by
the lodge in ElmwOod cemetery, Mon
day afternoon, very large crowd at
tending.
John Lyster was popular young
railroad man whom every body liked.
He was pleasant and cheerful at all
times. He leaves a wife and his fatE-
er who lived with him here. He had
only recently been transferred to the
Lawrence run and had not moved his
goods from Chanute.
The accident can be accounted for
only on the ground that there was
some defect about the shaking apara-
tus to the CRATE and as he threw hi,
weight on tsomething gave away and
threw him with great fUrce ont OF the
