SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS FOREs
SEEN IN CONNECTION WITH
PHILIPPINE TARIFF
LEADERS ARE WORRYING
If the Adjustment of Conditions TO
Supreme Court Decision Is Nude
a Party Question, "a Bitter
Contest Is Sure y
RECIPROCITY CLAUSE FAVORED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-An important
conference was held at the war depart
ment today in regard to the legislation
necessary to meet fiscal condition in the
Philippines as q result OF the recent In
sular decisions of the supreme court.
There were present Secretary Root, Sena-
tors Lodge and Plat, of Connecticut. and
Representatives Payne and Dalzel.
During the afternoon Senator Spooner
called at the war department and talked
with Secretary Root about the legislative
necessities of the Philippines. 1t ap-
pears that the problem presented is not
so easy as was supposed when it was
thought that simple joint resolution
could be put through congress within a
few days to continue practically existing
tariff rates as to Philippine exports and
imports.
Some members of the ways and means
committee see difficulties growing out OF
the existence of an export tax In the
islands and there is much apprehension
that the issue may be made a party one,
with the result that there will be Bit
ter struggle, at least in the senate, II
not in the house, before satisfactory leg
islation can be had. 1t is the expectation.
however, that after hearing from all OF
the leaders Secretary Root will be able to
perfect plan of action by Tuesday,
when the house next meets.
1t is learned that in the course of the
conference today. Secretary Root took
advantage of the opportunity to talk
freely with his callers about the pressing
needs of Cuba, and to urge early action
upon the legislation along the line
recommended in his last annual report.
Reciprocity Clause Talked OF.
A movement is on foot among the Re-
publican members of the ways and means
committee to incorporate a reciprocity
feature in the forthcoming Philippine
tariff bill. AS roughly outlined in, the
informal talks thus far had among mem
bers of the committee, the reciprocity
provision would recite that when the
Philippine commissioners reduce the duty
on certain designated articles. including
American textiles and various goods easily
marketable in the Philippines, then the
president of the United States shall by
proclamation grant stated reductions OF
duty on Philippine sugar and other pro-
ducts shipped to this country. This e.
eiprocity provision would be along the
lines of that provided in the Dingley act.
whereby President Mckinley, by proc
lamation, made tariff reductions on a
limited number of articles without the
formalfty of a treaty.
A reciprocity provision on the foregoing
lires was discussed at the meeting of
Republican members of the committee
last Friday afternoon and received very
favorable consideration. although action
was deferred until the reassembling or
the Republican members on Monday.
Chairman Payne probably will call a
meeting of the full committee on Tues
day, when the Republican draft of 81
Philippine bill may be ready, although
no definite understanding on this point
has been reached.

JOHN HAY SAID NAY
WHEN LITIGANTs FOR A SALES
COMMISSION SOUGHT TO
QUESTION HIM
FELL BACK ON PRIVILEGE
Secrets of Negotiation for Danisk
West Indian Islands Not Like
Iy to BECOME Public
Property. g

WASHINGTON. Dec. There was an
interesting and unusual proceeding today
in the state department, when attorneys
Iepresenting parties to a New York law
suit sought to compel the testimony OF
Secretary Hay. The case was an action
for libel brought against New York
newspaper by Carl Fischer Hansen, q
Danish banker, resident In New York;,
and In it Is involved Capt. Dirkfeldt
Christmas. These persons were said t1
be interested as agents in the attempt
to sell the Danish West Indian islands
to the United States government, and the
publication which forms the basis Of theI
libel suit is said to have reflected on
their competency.
Some days ago. Secretary Hay said, he,
had notice to testify for the defense be-E
fore the New York state court, and this
morning Clarence j. Shearn, counsel for,
the newspaper In question, appeared at,
the state department with United States
Commissioner Blackstone. of this city.
and a stenographer. Robert Honey, Of
New York, appeared as counsel for Haft-
sen. The parties were received by Secre-
tary Hay in the diplomatic room, the seG-l
retary being accompanied by Judge Pen-
field, solicitor of the state department., a.
his counsel.
Hay Refuses to Answer.
The examination did not last long-iR
fact there was no examination in subj
stance. The counsel for the newspapers
attempted to PROFOUND some questions
touching the negotiations that had ocr
Cured between Secretary Hay and the
Danish agents in 1S99-19O0. The secretary
fatty refused to answer these, and
through Judge Penfield announced his
reason for so doing, being that he had
no personal knowledge of the matter
at ISSUE Whatever knowledge he pos
sessed had been acquired in his capacity
as secretary of state, and not as an I'M
dividual Moreover, the information
sought to be elected was a privileged
communication of the government of the.
United States and to make this public
would be highly prejudicial to the inter-
ests of the country.
Having formally noted the secretary'S
refusal and the character of his answer,
the commissioner and counsel withdrew.
It is their purpose to state the facts to
the New York state court with view
to have the. secretary of state brought
before that court on a charge Of conS
tempt.

FOrtuitous Chain of Circumstances

Chairmanship.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, ID, C.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Some of the
old senators are trying to keep Senator
Beveridge from the Craftsmanship of the
committee on territories, to which he is
entitled by the law of seniority. George
l.. Shoup, of Idaho, was chairman, but
he was not reelected. William J. Sew
ell, of New Jersey, is next in order, but
he is very i'll, and is not expected to do
any work in this session. Then come
Carter and Thurston, two more who have
fallen by the wayside; then Kyle, Of
South Dakota, who died last summer.
This leaves Beveridge and Dillingham;
as the only, surviving Republican mem
bers Of the old committee, and Beveridge
would naturally be chairman. But with
four territories clamoring for admission
to statehood there is prospect that this
committee will be an important one this
winter, and instead OF Beveridge being
buried, as was the intention when he was
honored with this appointment, he be-
comes very important parsonage. Thus
it happens that the .covetous old gentle
men in the millionaires' club would like
to down the little newcomer, and are
even disposed to set aside their immemo-
rial custom to do it.. Ii they do, there
will be doings; for there are Others r

WORDS TO Be WEIGHED
PRESBYTERIAN CREED REVISERS
TAKING THEIR TIME
Themes to Be Considered and EN-
bodied In New Declaration
Cannot BE Acted ON
Lightly.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-TWO sessions
were held today Of the revision committee
of the general Presbyterian assembly. A
statement issued by the committee says:
1.-THE committee Is making progress,
but 1t is evident that in discussing the
great questions before it, progress must
be slow, and nothing final can be arrived
at for a week or more. When such
themes as God and the trinity. revelation
and creation, the divine decree and the
fall of men are under consideration, and
statements that will be satisfactory to
the church are to be prepared, 1t is OBJ
vious that both care and time must be
required. 1t can be said that throughout
the discussions have been most harmon-
ious and the committee is animated by
the one purpose of preparing form that
will be at once true and satisfactory to
the church"

TORRANCE PEACEMAKER
G. A. R. COMMANDER FAVORS BOTH
MKINLEY MEMORIALS
Canton Advocates to Have Public
Subscriptions, and Congress to
BE Asked to Build
the Arch.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, ID. C.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I'm the scrap
between the Mckinley Memorial associa-
ton and the Mckinley Arch association,
the commander of the G. A. R. is COM
mitted to the Canton, Ohio, project.
Judge Torrance was asked to become a
member of committee. of which Hanna
is the leading spirit. He accepted. Then
he was appointed a member of committee
to build an arch in Washington. He was
obliged to decline.
Judge Torrance has been here today
trying the role of peaeeaker. He favors
both memorials to Mckinley, and hopes
to bring about harmony between the
memorialists. AS member of the Cam,
ton project committee he voted for
resolutions passed today urging congress
to appropriate money for the arch. Thus
the field could be left open to the other
crowd to go anead and get popular sub
scriptions. They already have $780, SO
the memorial at Canton is assured.
Monday the arch crowd will meet and
decide whether to accept the resolution
of the Canton crowd and rely on the gem
erosity of congress. A canvass of MEM
bers of the arch committee reveals the
fact that most are disposed to accept, so
there is a prospect of harmony being re-
stored.

CRUMpACKER GOT EVEN
INDIANA CONGRESSMAN TELLS
ROOSEVELT TO GO TO.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, ID. C.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Z. = Among the
candidates who were considered by
Roosevelt for the vacancy on the federal
bench in the Indiana-Ilinois-W Wisconsin
district was e. D.. Crumpacker, of La
Porte county, Indiana. He was appellate
judge of the state under Gov. Hovey,
and is now a member of congress. But
Judge Crumpacker was opposed to the
Porto Rican bill and voted against it in
the last congress. This fact was related
to the president, and he was told that
Crumpacker was an anti-expansionist
and radical man. Senator Fairbanks
friends were kind enough to emphasize
this point The president was convinced,
and Crumpacker was stricken from his
list of elgibles.
The other day the president wanted
some advice about candidates who were
under consideration, and oddly enough
sent for Crumpacker. But the judge is
independent He sent back word that
he did not care to give any opinion, as
he could not conceive it possible that the
president would be influenced by the ad
vice Of man whom he regarded as too
biased to exercise the judicial functions
Without political prejudice. In polite
terms he told Roosevelt to go to -,
well, to that place of outer darkness,
flames and the gnashing Of teeth.

Long promised in the better lands,
How can you sit an idle guest
With folded hands?
