CAUSE OF RICE'S DEATH.

Patrick Had Made All Arrange
ments to Have Body Cremated.
New York Jan. 27.-The second day
of the trial of Lawyer Albert T. Pat
rick, accused of the murder of Will
liam Marsh Rice, brought it up to the
point where the cause of the death of
the millionaire is sought to be deter
mined. The first witness along this
line of inquiry introduced by the pros
ecution was DR.. Hamilton Williams.
one of the physicians attached to the
coroner's staff who attended the autop-
sy. He testified that Rice's lungs
were congested.
"I believe" DR.. Williams said in
replying to a question, that nothing
else than a gaseous irritant could have
produced the condition of the lungs.
/ may say, instead of believing, that
know from experience, this to be
the fact
Pneumonia, he said, could produce
the conditions he found in Mr.. Rice's
lungs. He found all of Rice's organs
normal except for the lung congestion.
The only admission the defense Sc
cured from the witness was that many
of the ordinary indications of death
from chloroform were absent in the
case of Mr.. Rice.
Charles Plowwright, the undertaken
who was called in by Patrick to pre-
pare the body of Rice for cremation,
testified that he had said TO Patrick
that IL would require twenty-four
hours to prepare for cremation. and
suggested embalming to which Patrick
consented. John S. Potter, Plow-
wright's assistant. testified that Pat
rick had shown him letter signed by
Rice expressing the wish that after
death his body should be cremated.
The morning of the day set for crema-
tion he had been called on the tele.
phone by Patrick and told that the
cremation must be called of I'm conse-
quence of a telegram he (Patrick) has
lust received from Texas, but that II
would probably be held two days later.
The letter to which the witnesses al
luded was dated August g. 1900. II
was admitted az evidence.

Mr.. Money made an extended speech
in criticism of the governments policy
in the Philippines, saying:
I'VE are committed to it. 1 suppose,
until we have lucid interval. and we
are not likely soon to have that"
He maintained that the United States
in acquiring the islands and holding
things ever done by nation, and ne
was afraid we should mot have sense
enough to retrace our steps"
Mr.. Hale interrupted to say that the
situation in the Philippines will grow
worse, instead of better, and that it is
anomalous to mix the military and
civil government.
MIR. Money Gets Emphatic.
Replying to a question of Mr.. Hale as
to what he would do with the islands,
Mr.. Money said:
Let them go to the devil and take
care of themselves as far as the Amer
lean people are concerned"
Mr.. Money, answering Mr.. Hoar, said
that before the United States declared
war there were village governments,
peaceful and successful in the Philip
pines. Mr.. Hoar said that Washington
had declared that that was the test of
capacity for self-government.
Despite, said he, all our platitudinous
utteranceS concerning freedom, the
United States had not sent a word of
encouragement to the Beers who were
struggling for liberty against one OF
the greatest nations of the world. Our
ac ction in the Philippines he likened to
that of Great Britain in South Africa.
In a brief statement Mr.. Platt (Con-
necticut) said he did not want to let
this occasion pass without expressing
his emphatic dissent from the principle
upon which Mr.. Moneys remarks We're
founded.
Mr. Platt contended that If the Uni
ted States had the right to acquire ter
ritory and hold sovereignty over 1t, II
would be qualification of ourselves to
yield our rights to that territory as
soon as the inhabitants of the territory
might demand their independence.
Associated Press Reliable.
In concluding the debate Mr.. Du-
bois referring to Mr.. Spooner's re-
marks, said he was entirely satisfied
that the Associated Press dispatch
| was accurate.
"No Associated Press reporter" said
| he, ever puts words into mans
mouth that he did not utter. l have
every reason to believe the dispatch
is accurate"
He said, however. that II the state
ments regarding Gen. Wheaton were
not true. then the reprimand of the
| General, which he proposed, would not
| lie against him.
After an executive session the SEN
ate adjourned.

Indianapolis, Ind. Jan. 27.-The
United Mine Workers took to-day
what is regarded by many of the dele
gates as the most important action Of
the convention. A resolution provid-
ing that the convention should levy
an assessment on all the members of
the organization sufficient for the pur-
pose of carrying to speedy and success
ful termination all strikers now en-
gagged in by the entire organization,
was adopted after considerable debate.
President Mitchell had an understand
ing with the convention that the levy
was to cover only such strikes as have
the Endorsement of the national board.
1t is the announced purpose of the
miners to fight the operators to the end
in all these strikes, as the principle of
whether or not the organization is to
be recognized is at stake.

ganizers to unionize the miners of West
Virginia and Virginia, for the good Of

WANT CHEAPER BEER AND TEA
But Experts Say Duty Has Kept Out
Poorer Grades of Tea.

Poorer Grades of Tea.
Washington, Jan. 27.-The Ways and
Means Committee to-day temporarily
laid aside the subject of Cuban recipro-
city and entered upon the question of
reducing the war revenue taxes. Dur
ing the morning the tea interests were
heard on the proposition to take off the
war tax of ten cents a pound ON tea.
Albert P. Sloan, of New York, president
of the National Tea Duty Repeal,
pleaded for reduction of the duty on
the ground that it is injuring the quail
ity of tea sold and falls heavily on, the
poorer classes.
w J. Buckfeld, tea importer, of
New York, said the ten-cent duty had
operated beneficialy in keeping out the
poor grades of tea. He stated that the
price of tea would advance by a re-
moval of the duty.
A. Burlingame Johnson, recently
United States consul at Annoy, China,
said the duty had operated to stop the
shipment of poor tea to this country
President n. w. Kendall of New
Haven, Conn, of the United. States
Brewers Association, and others ap-
peared in behalf of a reduction of the
beer tax.
President Kendall recalled the as
surances that had been given when the
war taxes were imposed, that they
were for war purposes and would ter
inmate with the war. He referred to
three men engaged in the iron in
dustry, reaping an annual profit of
$50 900, 900 from their business" The
breweries had paid the government in
1900 S7S,550,754, and he said their profits
were either wiped out entirely or re-
duced to a pittance.
Chairman Payne stated in reference
to Mr.. Kendall's appeal that Congress
keep the promises of repeal heretofore
made that Congress and the commit
tee had kept ahead of their promises.
The trouble had been that the require
ments of the government had largely
increased.
