Minister WI WAS mad GOES To CONFERENCE
HOUSE WONT ACCEPT
PHILIPPINE MEASURE
As Passed By the Senate Twenty
Five Percent Reduction Seems
Likely to Garry However
slight. Changes.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The House
today sent the Philippine tariff bill to
conference, non-concurring in all the
Senate amendments.
Payne. chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, asked unanimous
consent that the Senate amendments to
the Philippine tariff bill be disagreed
to and that a conference with the Sen
ate be requested. To this Richardson.
the minority leader, objected. He de-
manded the regular order, which re-
quired the consideration of these
amendments in the House, making the
point of order also that the amend
ments must first be considered in the
committee OF the whole.
Payne controverted the point OF
order. but admitted that one of the acts
at least was subject to the point of Or
der. But as Richardson disclaimed any
intention of desiring to use obstructive
tactics, the House, on Payne's motion,
went into committee OF the whole and
| took up the amendments. Payne NOV
ed that the committee recommend non
concurrence in the first amendment to
reduce the rates on goods coming into
| the United States from the Philippines
to 10 per cent of the Dingley rates,
while Mcclellan of New York moved
non-concurrence with an amendment
to reduce the duties to 25 per cent of
the Dingley rates.
Payne indicated a willingness to con-
cede the % per cent reduction Of the
Senate. but he urged inconvenience
in order to simplify the phraseology
Mcclellan said he would be glad to
see free trade with the Philippines,
and his amendment was designed to
improve a bad bill by adopting the ia
riff reductions urged by Governor
Taft.
McClellans motion was lost--S4 to
1O7.
Richardson moved Inconvenience
with an amendment to remove all du-
ties on goods coming into the United
States from the Philippines. On ris-
ing vote the amendment prevailed, GO
to 81. but when tellers were demanded
the amendment was lost, 80 to 1903.
Richardson of Tennessee offered a
proyiso to the last Senate amendment
that the United States relinquish all
claim to the sovereignty over the Phil
ippiue islands, and that hereafter the
archipelago shall be considered as for
eign territory; that all trade between
the United States and the Philippines
shall be free; that the United States
shall protect the Islands and their in
habitants while they are forming a
suitable government, and that thereaf-
ter the United States shall withdraw
from control Of the archipelago, re-
tainlng only coaling and naval sta
tions. The amendment was declared
out of order.
The measure was then reported ia
the House
On motion of Payne the House non
concurred in the Senate amendment
and asked for conference. Payne OF
INew York. Dalzell of Pennsylvania and
Richardson of Tennessee being named
as conferees.

twenty minutes and was marked by
bitter sarcasm. So great was the
crowd that gathered around the dispu.

the employees to clear the corridor.
Mayor Phelan was conversing with
friend near the hotel office when

acquainted with Minister WI, who
nodded to him,
Your excellency." said 'Phelan's
companion, permit me to introduce to
you Mayor Phelan of San Francisco"
His hand, which the diplomat was
about to give his new acquaintance
shot up toward Phelan's face. and
shaking /, perilously near his nose
WI delivered the quoted salutation
His voice trembled and his face red
dened as he fairly shouted the words
Phelan was nonplused for moment
by the turn of affairs, and then he
broke In upon the diplomat with dec
laratIon that American labor must be
protected. and said there would be al
invasion of Chinese coolies II there
was no bar to keep them out.
"a coolie is the man who carries Q
basket" said WI. He is a mental
the lowest OF our race. If you mean tc
keep him from coming here | agreC
with you. The coolie should be KEEP
out"
But we refer to all Chinese laborert
as coolies" said Phelan. I'VE mus

"Majorities," shouted WI. 81 know
what you mean. Mr.. Phelan, you wan

oh no. don't" Phelan shouted
back. Three times as Mayor are
enough for me-"
Then he mentioned the hated wore

with them"
Then we will keep Americans on

IL as If for emphasis. I'VE can ge
