ROOSEVELT WAS
 CENTRAL FIGURE Cheered by Galleries When He
 Appeared in Senate MORGAN MADE LONG SPEECH Addressed His Colleagues on ResoIu- ton Declaring A1togatiOn of the
 Clayton-BuIwer TreatY-He
 Admonished England
MORGAN MADE LONG SPEECH

Washington, March 6.AAgain today Vice-President Roosevelt was the central figure of the opening proceedings of the Senate When he appeared at his desk to call the Senate to order, a wave of ap- plause swept over the thronged galleries. He evidently was impatient at the dem onstration, and sharply tapping his desk with the gavel warned the spectators that a repetition of the applause would result in an order to clear the galleries.
 After brief debate the amendment to the rules of the Senate placing limit upon debate offered yesterday by Senator Platt of Connecticut was referred to the committee on rules. The debate developed the fact that no intention exists on the part of the proponent of the amendment to urge its discussion at the present ex- traordinary session.
 MT Morgan of Alabama, who yester- day offered a resolution declaring the ab- rogation of the Clayton -Bulwer treaty between the United States and Great Britain. addressed the Senate for nearly two hours upon his proposition His ad- mentions to Great Britain were particu- larly sharp He declared that if Great Britain should .endeavor to enforce the terms of the treaty the effort would re- suit In war in which the great empire, which had controlled four score of years the commerce of the world, would be swept from power and her King would be left with only sovereignty over his own island.
 He regarded the Clayton Bulwer treaty in the nature of an alliance, "a shameful alliance" with Great Britain, and de- nounced any suggestion of the inability of the United States to sever such an alliance without mourning the penalties of war. He maintained that in spite of the silence of Great Britain the United States could abrogate the treaty at any time and until 1t was abrogSEed .t would act as a closing upon the extension of the commerce of this country.
 Without concluding his speech MT. Nor gan yielded the floor, and at 2:45, on mo- ton of MT. Warren of Wyoming, the Senate went into executive session, ad- journing at o'clock.

TARIFF LAW FOR
 THE PHILIPPINES Copy of Proposed Bill Forward
 ed to War Department IS A REVENUE MEASURE
Necessities are Taxed as Lightly as Possible, While Luxuries Must Bear Burden-Cuban Classi-
 fication Followed.

Washington, March GA copy of the proposed Philippine tariff bill, as recom- mended by the Philippine commission, has been forwarded to the war depart ment. The classification of the Cuban tariff has been followed in the main.
 In two case only, throughout the entire bill, are ad valorum assessed, namely. on crude materials and on goods not else where provided for at 10 and % per cent, respectively.
 Throughout the bill the question of rev enue has been kept steadily in view. The necessary food products, the raw ma- terials of Philippine industries, the tools, implements and machinery of production, the materials of transportation by land and sea, and the producers and trans mitters of power have been taxed as lightly as possible. To mend goods, and articles have been assigned rates grad uated to the means and necessities of the consumers, due regard being had to the many existing industries and to those which must be inevitably introduced in the near futures. Luxuries, whether in beverages, food, clothing. carriages or ornaments, have been taxed az highly as is consistent with the production of the most revenue.
 Kerosene oil, which is even now cheaper than the native cocoanut oil, has been reduced to a point which, in the opinion of the commission, will cause the great est importation and the largest revenue.
 The duty on coal has been reduced 50 per cent. On crude petroleum, which, it is stated, owing to the great and still ad- vancing price of coal, must soon come into use as a fuel, the duty has been re- duced to almost nominal rate. Building materials of every description and all in- dustrial machinery bears in the little burden.
 Dressed leather, boots and shoes. hard rubber goods and waterproof stuff are very moderately taxed. In cotton and linen the heavily weighter goods are greatly reduced The earths and sizings introduced into these articles by some manufacturers to make weight and give a deceptive finish, must be removed by washing any drying before assessing the duty. Silks have been raised about 50 per cent. All food products and canned goods have come in for large reduction, The duty on wheat flour has been reduced largely
 As to exports the tax on Abaca has been doubled, and as 1t cannot be produced elsewhere, the revenues resulting, 1t Is stated can be increased without being burdensome. On Copra tax similar to that on Abaca can be levied without ap- preciably affecting the producer or bur dening his power of competition.
 Judge Taft calls especial attention to the term met weight, as it Is used in the bill Except as to certain cotton yarns, met weight signifies the actual weight of the imported merchandise prop CT without packing, contaiper or any thing else used in preparing the goods for transportation.

 London March 6-The Duke of Man chester says he was not served with g writ and does not know anything about the reported suit for breach of promise
 Miss Portia Knight Is an American, 2; or "A years of age. She was on the stage in New York for a short time and has been living privately in London for 2 year. She referred a correspondent oi the Associated Press to her lawyers. The writ has been out for some time. she said, and she did not know whether il would be served In America or England Miss Knight was glad to hear that 1t had been served in Liverpool.
 ''I regret that this affair has become public" she said. T thought 1t would all be done In private. I have brought the suit not because I desire publicity, but because felt in duty bound to all my friends here in England. For their sake. as we'll as my own, have every wish that the proceedings should be as private as possible.
 "I only met the Duke of Manchester since I came to England, a year ago, but I really must refer you to my solicitors .''
 When Miss Knights solicitors were called upon they declined to give any de- tails or to do more than confirm the re- port that Miss Knight had commenced action,
 The Manchester sensation promises to rival the Westminster scandal. Although the Duke of Manchester asserts that the writ has not been served upon him in the suit for alleged breach of promise this Is quite immaterial, as the writ has been issued and proceedings have com menced.
 This entirely unexpected sequel to one of the most interesting marriages between an American heiress and a representative of the British nobility had It's inception shortly after the Duke of Manchester so suddenly made Miss Zimmerman a duch- ess. Miss Knights allegations are not ebtainabie, but it Is evident she is In earnest and that the suit was brought without any idea of gaining publicity.
 She is about the same age as the Duke of Manchester, possibly a trife older Their acquaintance began, a representa- tive of the Associated Press is informed, when Miss Knight was living in Stirmins mansions, in London, where the duke frequently visited. The employees of the mansions say the acquaintance ripened to a stage where they quarreled frequent ly and that the visits continued until on- ly about six months ago, when the duke no longer called there and Miss Knight took a flat elsewhere. She is now living in London amid friends of position and means
 The duke seemed rather worried when asked by a representative of the Associa- ted Press if it were true that he had been srved with a writ, He replied: Tt IS quite unture. I know nothing about the suit. I am feeling all right and had a fine time in America"

FOREST RESERNES.

A bill to establish a system of state
forest reserves will be introduced in the
New Jersey Legislature at the next
session. 1t will be prepared by Senator
Edward c. Stokes of Cumberland coun-
ty one of the managers of the geolog-
ical survey, which since 1894 has been
making a survey of the state, a general
report of the work for 1900 being now in
the hands Of the printer, The surveys
general recommendation are for forest
and game reserves in the Highlands
and Kittatinny mountains and In the
pines of south Jersey and elsewhere.
The Investigations have been thorough,
and dwell especially on the economic
value of forest streams for water-power
and of small storage reservoirs for wa
ter supply. 1t is designed to place in
the measure stringent provisions for
protection against fire. Gov. Voorees
will advocate such legislation in his
message in January.-Springfiel Re-
