Three Sources of Revenue.
Three sources of revenue are now
available for the municipal and provincial
treasuries-the real property tax, the in

of age-and half of the revenue goes to
the towns and half TO the province. No
part of it goes into the general treas

With regard to the revenues of the
general government the Commission, he
said, was endeavoring to raise them en-
tirely from customs sources. Under the
present system, all taxes were paid into the
treasury, three-tenths of the

| The absence OF one member Of the

bill to place the employees of the Dis
trict government under the civil service
from defeat. '' oi
The committee met at 1890 O'Clock,
with only eleven members present. The
first bill called UP was the bill drawn by
the Commissioners to extend to all the
employees of the District above the grade
of laborer the provisions of the civil serv-
ice law
Motion to Lny ON Table.
After the bill had been, read Represen-
tative Pearre of Maryland moved to lay
it on the table. On the motion the vote
stood to 5. Chairman Babcock refrain
ing from voting.
Mr.. Pearre then suggested that the bill
go over until the next meeting of the
committee, when all the members could
be present. This met the approval of
Chairman Babcock. who voted to postnone
action Oh the bill for one week
The members who voted with Mr.
Pearre to lay the bill on the table and
thus kill it were Messrs. blackburn of
North Carolina. Norton of Ohio, Otey of
Virginia. and Jenkins of Wisconsin. Those

Ger OF Nebraska, Stewart of New York

ueS.
while We should be glad" Governor
Taft continued. ".o have free trade with
the United States to carry on the prog
ress of agriculture in the islands. we
cannot fail to realize that ii would not
be fair for us to impose revenue tax on
goods from the United States, and then
ask fcr-free trade on goods from the
islands into the United States. A rev.
enue tax for the support of the Philip
pine Government is. in our judgment, alb
solutely necessary. l do not think that
the Government can be supported by d.
rect taxation"
Mr.. Culpcrsor asked whether it would
not be better to have p level tariff be-
tween the Philippine Islands and the
United States.
Governor Taft replied that the question
Of the effect of the proposed tariff on the
United States was matter which the
Commission had not taken into consid-
Grafton. 1t had only considered what
would be beneficial to the Philippine Isl
ands. 's' 'oqf
Reduction of Duties.
Speaking of the proposed reduction of
duties on goods imported from the Phil
ippine Islands, Governor Taft quoted the
planters of the islands as saying that
reduction of so per cent would not have
much effect. and that a reduction of 10
per cent would be needed. He did not
think that the amount of sugar produced
in the islands would materially affect the
market. The product was from 175 GOO to
200 900 tons.
I'VE want as high a tariff as We can
get" said the Governor, "and in suggest
ing reduction of 80 per cent. in the pres
cnt rates charged in the United States
upon Philippine products we are actuated
chiefly by sentine ntal reasons"
The effect OF such reduction, he said,
would not be very large III a business
scnsc, but it would have a beneficial in
fluence on the Filipino people as show
ing that Congress was discriminating in
their favor as compared with other places
Cuba for instance.

SAMPSON REPORTED WORSE.
The Admiral viii Be Retired From
the Navy on Sunday.

The report was current last evening
that Rear Admiral William T. Sampson
had taken a turn for the worse. and that
his condition was serious. His family
physician is in constant attendance at
his bedside. and did not leave the resi-
dence until a late hour last night.
Admiral Sampson will be retired from
the navy on Sunday next, having reached
the age limit. Although totally incapaci-
tated for active service on account of ILL
ness, he has been carried on the register
as on active service.
1t is expected that Secretary of the
Navy Long Will promulgate a general
order of the most laudatory character en-
admiral SIMPSONS service in the navy.
1t is also expected that the President will
give his final verdict in the famous
Schley- Sampson controversy on Saturday
the day on which Admiral SIMPSONS ac-
tive connection with the navy closes.

Building while in Washington No pro-

Prince Henry Will be shown all the in

will hold a reception in the Presidents

the Speakers room at the House end of
the Capitol. He will sit for a moment in
the diplomatic gallery of each chamber.

Governor Taft Discusses
Tariff Measures.
DIRECT TAXATION INADEQUATE
Import Revenue Imperative for the
support of the IsInnd-Free Trade
Into the United Stntcs Desirable,
But Impossible.

Hon. William II. Taft, Ci.il Governor of
the Philippines, resumed his narrative on
the conditions in the archipelago before
the Senate committee yesterday morning
and proceeded TO take up the tariff ques-
tion.
I'VE framed tariff" said Governor
Taft, and sent it to Washington. In that
tariff We fixed all at specific duties with
view of avoiding frauds. With regard TO
hemp. l do not think anything can be
done for the chief trade in hemp is with
London. All the hemp that can be raised
in the Philippine Islands can be sold. The
effect of the tariff will be felt in sugar
and tobacco. but / do not think that the
effect is going to be so large as good
many people seem to think.
The Tariff Revised.

was, we were informed considered at
great length by the Secretary OF War.
and. after consultation with merchants

question Governor Taft SAID that the plan

RAISING REVENUES
IN THE PHILIPPINES

Governor Taft, yesterday. before the
Senate Committee, discussed the
tariff question and the raising of rev.
enues for the expenses of the Philip
pine government. He said that. while
it might be desirable for the islands
to have free trade with the United
States on goods sent there from the
islands. still tariff is necessary on
goods imported into the islands, as It
was impossible to pay the expenses OF
government by direct taxation.
