DISAGREE ON TARIFFS
PRESIDENT AND HOUSE LEADERS
ALREADY AT VARIANCE.
FROM THE GLoBE BUREAU.
Washington. ID. C.

Washington, D. c.
WASHINGTON, Dec. president
Roosevelt and the house leaders are At
variance over Cuban tariffs Secretary
Root thinks there should be reduction
OF the sugar and tobacco duties; he be-
Heyes the poor Cuban should have 4
chance to sell in our market. But those
wise old boys in the house Of represen>
tat1veS who stand for the vested in
terests, otherwise the tariff protected in
dustries, namely Grosvenor, Payne, Taw-
ney and the other members of the
ways and means committee, say no. TO
alter the duties on Cuban imports would
be to inaugurate the policy of tariff re-
vision and reciprocity. Tnis must not be
permitted. They will oppose it at any and
all stages. Says Grosvenor:
Last year we produced one-third Of the
beet sugar that enters into our consump-
tion of sugars Of all kinds and there is
every reason to believe that If the in
dustry is still further protected we will
eventually raise all the beet sugar sold
in the United States.''
General Grosvenor, always plausible
and always tricky, carefully omits to
state, what is the fact, that last year the
total production of beet sugar in the
United States was less than one-thlrtieth
of our total sugar consumption.
1T is understood that the beet sugar
interests have allied themselves with the
general federation of protected indus
tries. This accounts, in part, for the vrg-
or of the fight which they are promising
to make, even in the face of recommen-
dations of the president and his secre-
tary of war.

MEXICAN SILVER N. G.
TROUBLE BREWING IN PHILIPPINE
FINANCIAL AFFAIRS
Parity of Two Dollars for One in
Gold Cannot Be Maintained
Under the Existing
Conditions.

MANILA, Dec. 1.-The financial situa-
ton in the Philippine islands is causing
considerable alarm. In an interview pub
lished in Manila, Henry c.. Ide, chief of
the department. of finance and justice.
referred to the probable enforcement OF
an alteration in the immediate future
of the present government parity of two
Mexican dollars for one gold dollar.
The United States postoffice here now
refuses, except to government emplayes,
to issue money orders In exchange for
Mexican silver. The banks of Manila
have been making from to per cent
on exchange. Merchants and others are
forced to carry their accounts in Mex
lean silver. The commercial community
has relied upon the United States Philip
pine commission to continue the exchange
of two Mexican dollars for one gold dol
lar, which the commission itself created
matter without the authority of con-
gress. This authorization has been re-
quested.
The stores of Manila are now compelled
to accept two Mexican dollars for one
gold dollar, while Chinese spectators are
paying as high as per cent premium in
American paper money for American
gold
Local bankers say if the salaries of
all insular employees were paid in the
local medium of currency, independently
of the fluctuations of this currency, and
If the government had not attempted to
force a rate of exchange. the present
situation would not have existed.

burned to death at Gwynn station, on
the Wopsononock Railroad, three miles
north of this CITY, early today. The hus-

dead are: Mrs Mary c. Burke. As years;
Adam Burke. 16; Mary Burke. 13; John

ously burned about the back.
Mrs. Burke was awakened by a dense
smoke in her room. She awoke her hus-
band, who found the kitchen ablaze.
Burke's clothing was ignited, but he
rolled in the snow to extinguish the
blaze. He then summoned assistance of
the neighbors, but when they arrived
there was no hope for saving the house
or Of saving the inmates. Burke was
sent to the hospital PROSTATE with grief.
The house was soon consumed, and the
bodies, charred and blackened. were re-

opinion is that Adam Burke forgot to
extinguish the lamp when he retired and
that it was in some way upset, possibly
by the family dog.

CHICAGO LABOR MEN OPPOSED TO
TRAINING SCHOOLS.

CHICAGO, Dec Manual training
and technical schools were described by
speakers at meeting of the Chicago
Federation of Labor tonight as the
gravest existing menace to industrial
unions. Urgent need was pointed out
for the organization of labor leagues
among the pupils at those institutions.
1t was asserted that the Chicago Tele-
phone company, in fighting the strikers,
had found an apparently inexhaustible
supply of "non-union workmen' among
the graduates of the schools maintained,
either wholly or in part, by the public.
AS a remedy the speakers advocated the
organization of the graduates of tech
nical and manual training schools into
labor unions that would enforce the union
scale of wages as well as refuse to take
jobs vacated by union strikers.
