THE PHILIPPINE TARIFF BILL.
Reported to the senate With
Amendments by Strict Party Vote.

Reported to the Senate With
Anne ndments by Strict Party Vote.
Washington, Jan. 20-The Senate
Committee on Philippines has agreed
to report the House Philippine tariff
bill, with amendments. The report was
ordered by strict party vote. The bill
was amended as heretofore agreed
upon, being a reduction of rs per cent.
on goods coming from the Philippines
to the United States, with an addi-
tlonal reduction of the export tax
charged in the Philippines on products
sent out of the islands to the United
States. The Democrats presented a
substitute which will be reported to
the Senate. 1t provides that there shall
be temporary free trade between the
United States and the islands, that the
United States shall continue to occupy
and govern the islands until a stable
government has been established, when
the President shall direct withdrawal
from the islands, the United States to
retain such military and naval stations
as are deemed necessary. The Philip
pines are declared to be foreign terri
tory by the minority bill from the
passage of the act.

morals do not forbid it." He thought
that in all circumstances il was good
morality to accept a reconciliation
when>it was proffered The duel must
either be or not be, and he thought
that every one agreed that It ought
not to be. The mischief was that duel
ing was regarded as good form. The
punishment Of Imprisonment in fort
ress was no dishonor. An officer who
had fought was generally interned for
few months, or, at most, for two
years, so that the minimum penalty
at law now appeared to have become
the maximum. The military and social
punishment inflicted upon those who
refused to fight was in reality far
more severe. He hoped that the day
would come when dueling would be
universally regarded as an absolutely
quiXotic proceeding.
Herr Bebel, in the course of long
speech, condemned the practice of duel
ing as recognized and enforced by the
students clubs. Dueling was opposed
to the whole national conception OF
morality and justice. and IT was ex-
traordinary that, though representa-
lions were renewed year after year
in the Reichstag, The government did
not see its way to the absolute pro-
hibition Of the duel.
The minister of war mentioned that
dueling had formerly been punished
with death, but that It still Continued.
Nowadays, however, there was such
small number of duels that he was
surprised to find that political capital
was being made out of this subject
DR.. Stocker, to whom the term "po-
iitical parson" was originally applied,
deprecated with great fervor the de-
scription of the duel as quixotism
"Call it sim" he exclaimed. "calI IL
irrational because 1t does not achieve
its protested object. but do not call 1t
quixotism." In reply to socialist in
terruptions, he reminded the Socialists
that Ferdinand Lasalle had fallen i'm
duel. The case under consideration
was an illustration of the evil wrought
by alcohol. He still desired that In
the highest quarter, where so much
had already been done. still further
steps might be taken. and then the
duel would become a thing of the
past both in the army and elsewhere.

Brilliant Affair by Martha REID
Chapter of daughters.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 20.-A grand
ball was given here tonight under the
auspices of the Martha Reid Chapter

given on the anniversary of Gen. Lees
birthday and it's purpose is to raise
funds for $he replenishing of the treas
ury for the maintenance of the old
Confederate veterans and the Old Sol
diers' Home. The interest manifested
in the ball this year was probably
greater than any previous year and the
ball was altogether a brilliant success.
1t was attended by all the leading So
ciety people and was considered one of
the most brilliant social functions of
the season. The spacious ball
room of the Aragon Hotel
was the scene of the dance. The deco
rations of the hall were beautiful, the
Confederate colors being displayed on
every side in streamers of bunting ar
tistically draped on the walls and i'll
clusters of cut flowers, red and white
in color. lending a brightness to the
green of the plant decorations, there
being an abundance of ported plants,
palms and evergreens. The ladies who
had charge of the decorations were Mrs
J. NJ. Broadnax Mrs. A. ID. Sinclair.
Mrs. ]. D. Stewart, Mrs. T.. NJ. Jolly,
Miss Jennie Cooke, Miss Sally holmes.
Mr.. Seton Fleming, son of
ex-Gov. f. p. Fleming. was chairman
of the Floor Committee, and was
assisted by Messrs. Charles Welshans,
Charles Tucker and II. p. Daniels. AS
the guests arrived they were received
by Senator c. r. Rogers and by Mrs.
Rogers the new elected president of
Martha Reid chapter. Assisting them
were Mr.. and Mrs. y. T. Stockton, ex-
Gov. Fleming and Mrs. Fleming and
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Maxwell. Sew
eral interested spectators at the dance
were some of the old veterans from
the nome who were given special seats
to view the proceedings. There were
also some representatives of Camp
Robrt Il. Lee. u. c. V. present. A neat
sum was obtained for the benefit Of
the Old Soldiers Home as result OF
the ball.

BANK CASHIER ARRESTED.
aIontn M Man May BE DefauIter for
Large Amount.

Helena, Mont. Jan. 20.-Herbert II.
Matteson, cashier of the First National
Bank of Great Falls, was arrested here
this afternoon on a warrant issued by
United States Commissioner Russell,
at the request of District Attorney
Rodgers, who charged him with en-
bezzling S25, 900 of the banks funds on
Jan. Is. Matteson, it is said, has con-
fessed to the district attorney that he
was guilty. He waived examination
and was bound over to await the ac-
ton of the federal grand jury, bail
being fixed at $1,000. AS he was unable
to furnish this. he is now a prisoner
in the county Jail.
1t is understood that Mattesons
defalcati amounts to much more
than the sum named in the complaint.
The officer who accompanied Matteson
to Helena to-day said that il is be-
lieved the total amount he is alleged to
be short would reach $4,000. Specu-
Iation. IL is said, was the cause of the
defalcation. The bank is strong finan-
cially and is in no danger of embar-
rassment.

STUDY OF NATURAL
REPRODUCTION.

a line of work recently taken up
by the Bureau of Forestry, and for
/! the first time receiving adequate at
tention in the United States, is the
study of the tendency of natural
forests to extend over the land de-
void of forest growth. This tendency
has been noticed in many parts of
the country, but has never been
studied with a view of controlling
it for practical use, or assisting it
where desirable.
A field party from the Bureau is
now investigating the reproduction
of White Pine on pastures and
abandoned lands in Massachusetts,
and New Hampshire, to learn the
conditions under which reproduce
ton takes place. The Bureau is
making this investigation IN order
to be able to give owners of such
lands direction as to the best meth
DDS of handling them, with
view of securing a stand of pine by
natural seeding.
A field party of six men is study
ing the same problem in Oklahoma,
in connection with the hardwood
growth which compOses the timber
belts of that region. 1t has been
found in certain places in the mid
die west that natural forest belts
have extended up streams as much
as two miles in the last Twenty-Five
years. Particular attention will be
paid to devising methods for tx
ending and improving the fore
growth of the Wichita Forest Re-

The Rainmakers' Club


the absence of the president from
town, convened a sprecial session
of the Rainmakers' Club last night
Owing to several members being
out of town, we had great difficulty
in obtaining quorum, but were
fortunate enough to find five mem
bers (the requisite number to work
the machinery to draw rain) but,
owing to the lateness of the hour OF
meeting, we were unable to produce
more rain than has fallen today.
| would like to draw the atten-
ton of the public to this valuable
institution. Founded some six
months ago, by a few philanthropic
gentlemen, for the very laudable
purpose of procuring creator rain
fall for this district, the club has
up to the present not been able to
hold more than four sessions, Ow-
ing to their funds not being suf-
ficient to meet the very heavy ex-
penses. Each of these sessions re-
suited in heavy rain during the
next "a hours; and, if the results
on the present occasion prove less
than ON former occasions, the men,
bers must plead as an excuse the
great difficulty they had last night
in securing enough members to
produce more.
AS the continuance of this club is
of vital necessity not only to the
people of Brownsville, but to the
inhabitants of Cameron county gen.
orally, l would suggest the proprie-
ty Of the public giving the club
their patronage and support. Con-
tributions in money are not requir-
ed, as the Rainmaker's though
poor, are proud, and prefer to pay
their expenses out of their own peck
ct. But l think rancheros and
others requiring local rainfall
might, with advantage, occasionally
ask the club to hold meetings at
their ranches, providing the neces-
sary transportation, etc, in fact,
giving them Carta Blanca-no, |
mean Carte Blanche-fOr their ex-
penses.
We would also like to hint to the
ladies, whose efforts to keep their
houses free from dust are aided by
our exertions, that any little pres
ent of lunch or supper on the
occasion of a session would be CRATE
fully accepted, as, the duties OF the
club being very arduous, it has been
found necessary to pinch the pot
for the necessary means to procure
a supper.
Please understand, Mr. Editor,
that when speaking of pinching the
pot, wish you to read it literally,
as [ am aware that a similar ex-
preston is used by poker players,
a game of which we have no knowI-
edge.
Apologizing for the length of this
letter, | am
Yours obediently,
