Talks of Confeds. and the Homes.
Washington. Jan. 15.-For the first
time this session the Philippine ques-
tion was yesterday touched on in the
senate The Philippines were the sub
ject of an address by HOar, who spoke
Oh his resolution providing for the APP
pOintment of the senate committee to
investigate the administration of those
islands. HOar spoke at some length
regarding the unreliability of state
ments which have been made from
time to time as to the situation in the
Philippines and the causes which led
to the outbreak. He urged that there
should he n place where any senator
i'm his official capacity could go and
ask for two witnesses to prove the cor
rectIiess or incOrrectness of any ques-
tiOn upon which light is desired. Lodge
insisted that the matter should be con-
sidered by his committee. but said he
saw no reason for its consideration at
all The resolution went over. Mason
Of Illinois made a speech in favor of
reciprocity with Cuba and discussed
the protective policy generally, advo-
eating the wiping out Of nearly the
whole war tax.
The house continued the debate on
the lIeHSlOu sippiOpI idlioh JIM anu NC
voted much time to the proposition adj
vanced by Rixey of Virginia to open
the dOrOs of the soldiers homes to eX-
Confederate veterans. Two notable
speeches were made in support of the
proposition. one by Gardner, Michi-
gan Republican. and the other by De-
Armond Missouri Democrat. Dear
mond's eloquence aroused both sides
OF the house. The Republicans, with
the exception of Gardner. took no part
in the discussion, which met with
much opposition on the Democratic
side on the ground that it was utterly
impracticable. Lamb of Virginia read
number of kilograms from prominent
ex-Confederates of Richmond protest
ing against such n scheme.
During the discussion Hooker OF
Mississippi. the One-armed Confeder-
ate veteran. in brief but vigorous
speech argued that the COnfederacy
had not attempted to destroy the foun-
dations of federal government. but to
preserve and defend the principles un-
derlying the declaration of independ-
ence and the constitution of 1889.

TACKLES TARIFF
Babcock of Wisconsin Introduces
His Scheme of Revised
Protective Duties.
MUCH IRON PRODUCT MADE FREE
Other Manufacturers Brought Down
to Close Figures-Protection
Preserved, He Claims.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The first at
vempt ut u reduction of the protection
afforded certain manufactures by the
Dingley act is represented in the bill
Introduced in the house yesterday by
BabcOck of Wisconsin. He made the
following statement relative to the
measure: The bill 1 introduced af-
fests only the iron and steel schedule
of the Dingley act. 1t differs from the
one 1 presented last session in several
important features The former bill
was intended to call the attention of
congress and the ways and means COM
mittee to this schedule generally, but
was not in shape to pass without full
consideration. This bill, on the other
hand, has been drawn with care. and
attempts to meet present conditions
intelligently.
Articles on the Free List.
81 have placed the heavy products
Of the furnace on the free list, such as
iron and steel in slabs, blooms, loops,
beams. girderS. and all structural iron
and steel. boiler and ship plates. steel
tails, steel ingOts. steel billets and bars.
The steel and iron schedule is very
complicated. and the placing of these
articles on the free list required the
readjustment of nearly all of the para
graphs in schedule o. After numerous
conferences with iron and steel manu-
facturers these paragraphs have been
amended upon strictly protective lines;
that is. each articles is given full pro-
lection as compared with the cost of
production in other countries, which
still leaves n margin In our favor.

For intance, tin is quoted f. o. b. in
England at $3 per box; the price in
Pittsburg is 81 1 have reduced the
Dingley rates from $1.50 to 81. which
would equaliZe the price and leave the
foreigner pay the cost of transpOrta-
tion and insurance in order to sell tin
In this market 1t does away in GER
tain paragraphs with the high rates
which were necessary n few years ago
and brings the schedules into line with
the changed conditions. 1 have been
especially careful not to reduce 4

part of the cost of the article, and
there Is no single item in the entire
bilL whether 1t provides that the ar
ticle shall go on the free list or wheth-
or il remains on the dutiable list, that
Will in any way affect labor.
All in Line with Protection.
''The whole bill is in line with the
Republican protective policy as advo-
Gated in the national platforms and by
fits greatest champion. the late Presi-
dent Mckinley. 1t affords ample and
full protection where il is necessary,
and places on the free list those ar
ticles that are produced here cheaper
than they can be in foreign countries"

In the light of the recent cam
paign we would respectfully suggest
to the Legislature that they fix the
salary OF governor at $500, 000 90 per
year and also give a pension of an
equal amount to the unsuccessful
candidates This is fabout the only
chance the ordinary citizen who pays
taxes on anything less than halta mill
ion dollars will have of bee. ming part
of the governmental machinery of
Vermont in the future. Very few
men who have male in this state all
the money they have can follow the
pace set by gubernatorial candidates
this summer. Most Of the really de
serving Nerm0nters have about as
much likelihood of ever sitting in the
governors chair as they have OF be-
coming a Gar VI Russia or a King Of

Charleston, w. Va, Aug. 2S.-Gov-
ernor White ordered the Second regi-
ment of troops to Thurmond, New
river strike district, today. They will
arrive there during the afternoon. The
situation is serious. Sheriff Daniel, who
is here today from Fayette county, says
he is powerless to repress disorder, and
property and life are in constant dan :.
ger Nearly everybody refuses to act
as deputy Sheriffs to assist in the evic-
ton of striking miners, and hence the
sheriff made request for troops. Men
concealed along the mountain side fire
at the guards and miners going to work
and then disappear. Governor White
says he sends the troops to protect life
and property, but not to settle the
strike.

new MAIL DISTRICTS.
Postoffice Authorities Will
Change Carrier Territory.

On October 1 there will be complete
redistrictine of the mail routes of the city,
and a reassignment of carriers. Three
new carriers are to be put to work on
that date, and there will be important
improvements in the mail service, espec-
tally in North Topeka. Leroy Powell.
superintendent of the city delivery, is now
at work on the scheme of redistricting.
Instead of having % districts, the city
will have % after Oct. l. One carrier will
be assigned to each district. Seven of
these carriers are ''mounted,"-that is to
say, they have a cart and horse to use
in their rounds.
North Topeka will be given one of the
three new carriers, and the other two will
be used on this side of the river Instead
of having but two delivery districts in
North Topeka, there will be three. A
new district, embracing only the business
part of town will be laid out, and it will
be given four deliveries of mail each day,
instead of three at present. The rest of
North Topeka will be given two deliveries
a day, whereas some parts of the town
now have only one.
The postoffice officials here give much
of the credit for the increase in the car
rier force to VIM. G. Eden, of Chicago,
general superintendent of free delivery.
Mr.. Eden was here month ago, and in
spected the condition OF the delivery sys-
tenn here. He at once recommended an
increase in the carrier force of three men.
and the department approved the recon-
mendation.
