the profound respect it has been entertaining
for the Associated Press as a mighty gatherer of
the news of the country We had supposed the Asso-
cated Press covered in It's dispatches all the important
happenings of the world and especially the important
business transacted by congress Our regret therefore
Is painful when we find that a very weighty matter
was solemny discussed by the national lawmakers
some days ago and the A p gave us not solitary line
about it.

volumnous pages devoted discussion of the advis
ability OF appointing Democrats to places in the rural
free delivery systems which ara being established in

Half dozen congressman and Speaker Henderson
took part IN the services which were led by Mr.. De
Almond.
The Missourian started the row bv rising TO
question Of privilege He desired to say that certain
gentlemen whom he denominate specifically as liars
had charged him with holding up the establishment
of free rural delivery routes This in itself was most
appalling and well worthy Of the serious and absorbed
consideration for De Almonds colleagues But horror
of horrors. He made the bald statement that
measy postmaster down IN his district had outraged
his congressional dignity by appointing a number Of
Republican carriers.
The house sweated with establishment which Dor
dered patriotic hysteria Whittier was the country

mond explained that if 1t hadn't been for his absence

PhiIadelphia North American.l


The Philippine tariff bill agreed upon by the
house committee ways and means is drawn in har-
mony with Chairman Payne's general policy of ''let
well enough alone" Its chief purpose is to restore
the status upset by last weeks decision of the supreme
court In the fourteen diamond rings case" It REIN
poses the Dngley rate upon articles coming from the
Philippines and the Taft commission rates on goods
entering the Philippines. Further than that it renders
the coaswse trade laws inappcable to the archipelago
until Jan. l. 1905 thereby subjectng American vessels
engaged in the Philippine trade to foreign competition
and imposing upon them the discriminating taxes
levied on ships flying foreign flag The only con-
cession made to American trade In the Philippines
IS to exempt from internal taxes articles which
would be taxed II not exported The chief bene6ci-
aries of this provision will be the American liquor in
terests, which will be put equality in the Philip-
pines with their foreign rivals. The Philippine export
duties remain enacted by the Taft commission
When Senator Lodge introduced a similar bill in
the senate 1t was described a temporary expedient
vague promise held out that In due time con
gress would pass permanent designed to pro-
mote American trade III the islands. Obviously the
proposal IS not favored by the majority of Mr. Paynes
committee, who voted down all amendments offered bv
Mr.. Russell Of Connecticut, providing preferential
tariffs on trade between the mainland and the arcbi
peago Although the supreme court has declared that
the Pmippn mes are not foreign territory Mr.. Paynes
committee makes them so for all purposes
AT time when talking of building I'D our
foreign trade and merchant marine by means of reel
procity and ship bOunties the Payne Philippine bill Is
sad mlsht Here Is rich territory which the SUI
preme court has decided belongs exclusively to Amer
Shpowners, yet the first desire of congress is TO
encourage foreign competition in domestic waters In
stead OF taking advantage of opportunity to extend
what may be called in sense our internal trade II Is
seriously proposed raise Instructions against orr
selves in of own dependencies This is kind
OF protection for which foreign merchants and shin
owners who are now IN possession of practically the en-
tire Philippine trade viii be extremely grateful IN
u.s.
If this arrangement goes through the people of the
philippines will be no better off, and the people of the
United States Will continue pay the bills without
hope of compensation

their power to secure favorable consideration
of the Emigration canyon cutoff by the Union

simple announcement that Mr.. Hartman had deter

BILLIARD TOURNAMENT
HAS BEEN ARRANGED

New York Oct. 26.-It is announced to-
night that a billiard tournament has been
arranged to be played during the week
beginning Dec. 2 for a purse of $1,000. The
contest will be at the Madison Square
Garden Concert Hall.
The object of the tournament is to set
tie the disputes as to who is champion,
that title having practically died with
Frank C. Ives. Ives won the emblem
from George Slosson in 49, and, although
he afterward, in the same year, forfeited
1t to the donor by refusing to accept its
conditions, the public still looked upon
him as the champion up to the time of his
death. Since then there has been no rec
ognzed champion.
Each game will be of 400 points, to be
played on a regulation 5x10 table An en-
trance fee of $3.50 from each contestant
will be required, in addition to which a
purse of $1,000 will be hung up all of
which, together with the net box office
receipts, will be distributed in prizes.
In case of six contestants taking part
the money will be divided into four parts
40 per cent to the winner 80 to the second
man and 20 and 10 TO the third and fourth
men, respectively.
The winner will also receive the dia.
