WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-An extended
speech upon the pending Philippine tariff
bill was delivered in the Senate to-day
discussed in a general way the pending
measure he devoted his attention par
ticularly to an amendment to IL which
lie offered last week.
He maintained that the enactment OF
the bill as it stands now would be a con-
stitutiona1 remedy for the situation which
the measure is designed to relieve, but
with the adoption of his amendment his
till would stand the closest scrutiny OF
the courts.
An hour and a half was devoted to con-
sideration of measure providing for tho
increase of the salaries of judges OF
United States Courts, but TO action was
taken on the bill.
The bill was opposed by Senator Ber-
~. of Arkansas, aAd Blackburn. OF
Kentucky. the former saying many peo-
pie thought the justices We're not worth
$4,000 a year. Senator's Spooner, of Wis
consin: AIcComas. of Maryland: Iiawley,
of Connecticut and Fairfax of Indiana,
supported the increase.
When the Philippine tariff bill was
taken UP Mr.. Morgan argued that Con-
sress had no constitutional authority
to levy discriminating tariff either upon
exports or imports between the United
States and the Philippines.
II believe in the doctrine of free trade
in all parts OF the United States.

Mr. Morgan contenoed that export

in the case of the Philippines, the duty

ALBATROSS FINDS A DEEP
SEA VALLEY OFF MOLOKAI

The valley was found suddenly. after
leaving the shore OF Molokai. There
was a short area of shallow water. and
then suddenly the sounding line began
To show greater depth. Finally the
deepest point was touched, 500 fathoms,
after which the hill line was as abrupt
almost as toward the MoIokai shore. The
dredge went down and down. and when
It had reached the deepest point
there was an immense strain on the
line. 1t was feared by the officers that
the gear had been caught by rock or
coral ledge. and there was maneuvering
tc loosen it. but it came up under pres
sure. When the dredge was clear il
was found that there was still nearly
a ton OF mud in it. indicating that the
composition. The valley was shaped
nearly like the fin of one of the mod
ern racing yachts, the hillside toward
Molokai being sleeper, like the cut
away stern, that to Lanai being of
sloping curve.
1t Is the expectation OF Captain
Chauncey Thomas, OF the Albatross,
that Sunday OF this week will be spent
at Lahaina, and another week given
tC the work before ne returns to this
city. Meanwhile, If there is a percep-
tible diminution OF the trades, all the
plans for continuing the work along
the lee side of the Islands will be aban-
dOned and advantage taken OF the IA

ward side. This course viii be followed

ring of wire-pullers and secret service
men, who exonerate those who can as
sist them TO promotion, while letting
the blame of any irregularity fall either
on an innocent person or suppressing 1T
altogether.
Secretary Root Is evidently acting in
accord with the President, as his trans
fer on the receipt of the Chamberlain
report, OF prominent officials OF the
transport service proves. Major Oscar
T. Long has been transferred to Wash
ington; Ernst Emmrich, one of the
clerks OF the transport service, who
was known to have been implicated in
extravagant purchases, was transferred
to Jefferson, Ind; Captain John Barne-
son was suspended for several weeks,
his resignation following Immediately
on his suspension, and Captain N. r.
Batchelder ii is said, was placed in
position where he found 1t necessary to
resign.
Any efforts on the part of the trans
port officials to use their influence TO
have Colonel Chamberlain sent to the
Philippines during the appearance of
his report might delay the final unrav-
cling of the whole scheme, but ii could
not prevent it. and it would, no doubt,
react in the end in favor OF Colonel
Chamberlain, and against the officials
whom his work exposes. The Philip
pines are distant. but they are not out
of the world, and Colonel Chamberlain
could be summoned thence in months
time.
AS the matter stands now, Secretary
Root has practically cleared the entire
old administration OF the transport ser
vice here, but this has been done in
such a manner that the uninitiated
might suspect only the ordinary army
changes. But for the Chamberlain re-
port this matter would stand, and none
but those Immediately implicated
would know that there had been any
fraud. The extravaganza and waste
which has added to the nations bur-
dens would be a secret buried in the
archives of the War Department But
President Roosevelt is not the man to
perpetuate method which can only
lead 10 corruption in the end. The COM
ing publication of the Chamberlain re-
port is a certainty, and 1t is also
certainty that President Roosevelt and
Secretary Root will act in accordance
with its suggestions.
