TARIFF BILL PASSED
Revenue Measure for the Phil
ippines Passed by the House
l63 to 1913.
Five Republicans Voted Aeains,
the Bill and Three DEM
ocrats for 1t.
Needs OF the Filipinos as Sug.
sested in Report Of Taft
Commission.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The bill to
Philippine islands passed the house late
yesterday by vote of 1853 to 12S. Five
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. McCalla of Mass
achusetts, Littlefeld of Maine, Heat
wole, Eddy and Stevens OF Minnesota
voted with the democrats against the
BILL and three democrats-Messrs Rob-
ertson. Davey and Broussard of Louis
iana-voted with the republicans for
it. Mr.. Meyer, a democrat, of Louis
, lana, was paired in favor OF the bill
with Mr.. Foster, an Illinois democrat.
Mr.. Warner. of Illinois, who voted
against the Porto Rican bill last con-
ure today. Mr.. Crumpacker. of Indi-
ana, who also voted against the Porto
Rican bill, was absent.
In the course OF the debate the DEM
ocrats were 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 motion
to recommit, offered by Mr.. Richardson,
the minority leader. It instructed the
ways and means committee to report
the bill back amended so as to reduce
the customs and internal revenue laws
of the United States to a revenue basis
and to extend them to the Philippines
until the latter, with the aid OF the
United States, should be able to set up
q stable, Independent government.
This proposition did not command a
republican vote and the three Louisi-
ana democrats above mentioned voted
against 1t. Mr.. Meyer of Louisiana
was paired against it.
The bill passed imposes the Dingley
rates on imports entering the Phil
ippines from the United States. 1t also
provides for the collection of tonnage
taxes on vessels plying between the
United States and the Philippines, and
that foreign vessels may ply between
these ports until January l, 1905. The
duties and taxes collected under the
provisions of the bill shall go into the
Philippine treasury to be expended for
the use and benefit of the islands.

clusion, he said that the company had
paid rs per cent in dividends in five
years. In addition, 1t had built up re-
serve fund of e1,OOO000. He predicted
great growth in the mining industry
which was definitely secured by the fact
that the main reef had proved workable
for 5000 feet, the product being equal IN
value to the average outcrop. The in
terests of the company were far-reach-
ing. The prosperity Of Johannesburg
and the country would increase the COM
panyis prosperity.
Replying to questions, the chairman
said regarding taxation that 1t was clear
that all classes should bear their shares
The fiscal arrangements should provide
for working expenses. Everything
should be done to tighten the burdens of
taxation, but when a profit was made
let the government have share. He
felt confidence in the instincts of the
most important trading and commercial
country of the world, and remembered
that a settlement was in the hands of
Mr.. Chamberlain and Lord Miner, in
surfing tact and business and financial
ability and justice. At present the in
dustries of the country, tho great, We're
in their infancy. New Industries would
spring up, and emigration, agriculture,
commerce and industries would have
important developments. Everything
pointed to prosperity in the Transvaal
and South Africa generally
The chairman said that the amount OF
the war debt was matter for friendly
arrangement He was of the opinion
they could rely upon the imperial de-
mands being neither unjust nor oppres-
sive He added that the situation was
improving daily, and he expected that
IN a few months industry would be in
full swing. notwithstanding that posi-
bly, small remnants of the Beers would
still be fighting.

OF course, q turning point must SOON
or or later arrive; when the structure
of speculative values must be subject
ed to normal tests. To an important
extent, this boom has taken for grant
ed the optimistic claims of the friends
and promoters OF the great consoiida-
ton movement. However much may
he fairly conceded to the various forms
OF industrial or other combinations,
can it be considered likely that Wall
Street will give its final endorsement
to a scale OF values one-third above
the former normal level? Is there any
solid probability that his class of Sc
curities will retain a very much ad-
vanced range of prices in the face of a
duplication OF the volume Of their pa
per issues without any increase in
their true capital? 1t cannot be de-
MED that, for the most part, the pend
ing boom is a speculation based upon
an superintendent experiment which,
among other dubious things. aims t.
accomplish through water what hith-
erto has ben procurable only through
gold.
The money market is a point that
will bear watching. Financing the
new deals will require funds in con
siderable quantities, and these are like

might readily form the basis of sharp

ORR GROWING NAVY.

If the United States maintains her
present pace in warship building 1t
will not be long before this country is
the foremost naval power.
Last month fourteen additional war
ships were contracted for to be COM
pleted in one year, which brings the
total of warships now under construc-
lion uD TO sixty-one. OF the fourteen
shipg. five will be battleships, named
Georgia, new York, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island and Virginia. Three of
the battleships will have a displace-
ment of Is, 900 tons and two OF $4,000
tons. Three of the six armored cruis-
ers will have a displacement of 1890
tons and three of 13, 400 tons. The
armored cruisers besides the West Vir-
GINA, are Nebraska, California, Mary
land, South Dakota and Colorado. The
other three vessels to be built will be
protected cruisers with a displacement
OF 10000 tons each, or more than any
of the protected cruisers now in SER
vice. They will be hamed st. Louis,
Milwaukee and Charleston. Hulls and
machinery for the fourteen warships
veil cost S40,944, 600. The total cost for
hulls and machinery of the sixty-one
ships now under construction will be
S~S0,954,116
With those under construction the
United States will have eighteen bat
tleships and at the present rate will
DON begin to push Great Britain for
first place, Notwithstanding that that
country now has se~ventythree such
vessels. France has thirty-two, Rus
STA twenty-three, Germany seventeen
and Italy fifteen. Proportionately the
United States now has more cruisers
than any other country.
We had almost forgot Spain, which
has one first class and two third class
battleships. That her navy is about on
a par with the old hulks which Dewey
sent to the bottom in Manila bay is
evident from the fact that she was IN
represented at the funeral of Queen
Victoria, her one first class battleship
having been compelled to put back to
shore on account of a breakdown in
machinery.

she knew how and she might have
closed a Deal early in the Game. had it
not been for her Parents. They rere

Delusion that they could help Daughter

Lotharios.
Instead of taking to the Back Rooms
and giving little Jeanette full Leeway
in the Parlor, they would butt into the

the Young Man and sort of throw out
the Impression that they were ready to

In the Kennedy trial II New York,
Justice Fursman refused to admit the
testimony of handwriting experts, de-
claring such was only admissible
where the writing in dispute was itself

they thought the Court Of Appeals
would take the same view. But what
would the Molineux case be without
the theories, diagrams md demonstra-
tions of the wrangling handwriting x
