THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Considered by the Industrial Conn
mission

Washington, June S-The industrial
commission at it's session yesterday
considered the tariff question with in
cidental reference to trusts, the wit
nesses being Congressman Robert w.
Taylor of Ohio and DR.. George G. Gun
ton president of the New York Insti-
tute Of Social Economies. Mr.. Taylor
took the position that any discussion in
congress Of the tariff at this time would
have a damaging effect upon the coun-
try. He said the Dingley law was the
most equitable tariff law the United
States had ever had. He took a decided
position against trusts and said that
they are not fostered by the protective
tariff. Mr. Taylor also said that he be-
lieved in the principal of reciprocity,
but that he did not indorse any of the
recently negotiated reciprocity treaties.
DR.. Gunton devoted himself especially
to replying to an argument recently
made before the commission by Mr.. Ed
ward Atkinson for freer trade. DR..
Gunton said that the freedom contend
ed by opponents of the tariff is anala-
gous to the freedom of a savage, free
dom which. if INDUCED in too freely,
not only brings injury to others, but
ruin to himself.

after a few words the shooting began.
Perkins was b:cther-in-law Of Payne,
and he ard l.. G.. Echols fired at about
the same time. Echols' bullet struck
Payne, and at about the same instant
Perkins shot and killed Echols. Dave

probably prove fatal. Perkins wounded
Dave Echols il, the arm and amputa-

Civil Government of the Philippines
Will Be Under the Secretary of
War.
Washington, June 8. - The new civil
government to be established in the
Philippines is receiving the considera-
ton of the president and the secretary
of war. It will differ very little from
what was first intended, as there Will
be governor for the archipelago and
legislative council and other officers.
This government will have control of
all civil affairs, but it will be under the
war power to the extent of being d.
rected by the secretary of war. There
Will be a nice distinction as to the au-
thority of the general commanding the
troops in the Philippines and the gov
ernor to be appointed under the civil
government. No official declaration has
been made as to which will be the SUI
preme authority. but 1t is known that
the secretary of war will be supreme.
While it is not the intention to conduct
the government of the Philippines un-
der the Spooner law. that law will be
taken as sanctioning what is to be
done. The new government will be
similar to that which existed for a
short time in the early days of New
Mexico. There was q civil governor
appointed by the president and a COM
manding general of the army. Both had
their functions in preserving the peace
and controlling the affairs of the terri
tory.
