CHAIRMAN TAPP EXPLAINS
LETTER CONTROVERSY

To the Editor of The Journal:
Owing to the misconstruction of the at
fairs as to the Dunn letter, think that
l should give the public few lines as to
the situation. I would have done so be-
fore this writing had it not been for a
pressure of business at these headquart-
ers. 1 wish to state as a matter of preface
that no man who knows the Hon. Walter
B. Hill should question his acts in this
matter. l have the most profound respect
for that learned and honorable gentleman,
and his explanation is perfectly satisfac-
tory TO me so far as am concerned, but
that the public may more fully understand
the matter, give the history Of the trans
action, and, therefore, publish the Dunn
letter together with two letters received
from Mr.. Hill as to It,

"A heavy call for extra margins is
said to have been the cause of posting
the notice. The call was made yester-
day afternoon. Phillips and stan work
ed all night over the firms books. The
trouble is said to have been due to the
3ia-cent break in rye yesterday. Phil
lips is credited with holding a line of
1900 200 bushels of this cereal. mostly
May options. Phillips is said to have
on his books also 100000 or 5000, 900
bushels of May wheat and about 3,000.-
600 bushels of May corn.
The effect of the notice posted by
Secretary Stone was instantaneous,
the whole list opening off sharply.
Wheat opened at 1c to 1Rc lower.
Corn at lsc to 1c down. Oats nearly
1c depressed.
Phillips opened negotiations with
elevator men in an endeavor to dispose
of his rye outside of the pit. Negotia-
tions fell through. and May rye. which
closed yesterday at b6&ic. opened with
Sdies from tlc 10 QUO.
The whole of Phillips line was dump

for Armour & Co... bought nearly all

declared 1t was the suddenness of the
call for extra 10 per cent margins
which embarrassed Phillips. He stated
Phillips traded but little on his own
account. the grain for the most part
belonging to customers.
Later Jacob Ringer. attorney for

that mis- client has practically been

Representative Cooper Discusses Civil
Government FOR the Filipinos.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. li.-Repre-
sentative Cooper. chairman of the
house committee on insular affairs.
and author of the bill establishing civil
government in Philippines. today made
a statement of the plan for selfgov-
ernment for the islands. He said:
1T has been suggested in opposition
to the provision of the house bill to es-
tablish civil government in the Philip
pines. to begin January /, 1904, that II
is unwise to attempt to pass law to
take effect two years from now. but
it is a mistake to say the effect Of such
law would be postponed for two
years. On the contrary, il would have
immediate effect upon the minds of the
Filipino people. especially upon those
educated and intelligent. and in the
language of the commission, would sat
isfy their desire for definite knowledge
of the intention of congress with re-
speCt to their country"
