Washington, Jan. 31.-In the senate
Senator Morgan Of Alabama de-
voted particular attention in a lengthy
speech to the amendment he offered
last week to the Philippine tariff bill
He maintained that the enactment of
the bill as it stands would not be a
constitutional remedy for the situation
that the measure is designed to re-
lieve, but said that with the adoption
Of his amendment the bill would stand
the closest scrutiny of the courts. The
Alabama senator did not discuss DO
litlcal phases of the Philippine ques-
ton, devOting his entire speech to
the consideration of legal and con-
stitutional questions raised by the
tariff measure
Washington, Feb. 1.-The house
prepared itself against what it con-
siders a threatened invasion by the
senate of its prerogative in the mat
ter of revenue legislation by direct
ing the ways and means committee to
Investigate the subject and report to
the house its conclusions. The action
was the outgroWth of agitation in the
senate of a claim that reciprocity
treaties affecting customs revenues
can be negotiated without the con-
currence of the house. Congress
man Richardson, the minority leader,
sought to have the house adopt a
declaration on the subject yesterday
without waiting for the senate to com
NIT an overt act, but the majority
leaders opposed hasty action and his
resolution was referred to the ways
and means committee. Several pri-
vate claims bills were passed, among
them one to pay s15,S45 to persons
who sustained damage by the explo-
sion Of ammunition in a chest at

The Philippine storm center was IN
the senate for nearly three hours. but
was void OF definite results. Irritation
was aroused on both sides and once
or twice personal encounters between
senator's seemed imminent. Once
when Senator Teller tainted the re-

they knew statements made in the

Washington, Jan. 29.-For an hour
the senate had under discussion the
question whether censorship of press
dispatches exists in Manila. While
no such turbulent scenes as Tuesdays
were enacted, the debate for time
was very spirited. The secretary of
war was quoted as saying that no
press censorship now existed in the
Philippines and a letter from General
Greedy, chief signol officer, was pre-
scented by Senator Beveridge of
Indiana, making the statement official
ly that there was no censorship OF press
dispatches and that the press is entire
ly free. It was contended by the OPP
position that press censorship did
exist in the Philippines and copies of
every news dispatch filed with the
military authorities. That, it was
maintained, constituted virtual cen
sorship. Senator Cullom, chairman
of the committee on foreign relations
delivered an extended and carefully
prepared speech es the history of
reciprocity negotiations.
The house adjourned after being in
session twenty-five minutes. Mr.
Hopkins Of Illinois reported the per-
manent census bill and gave notice
that he would call it up today The
request to make the oleomargarine
bill special order for next Monday
was objected to on the democratic
side.

per cent to 10 per cent. Petroleum
can be burned under any kind OF boiler,
and its use may alternate with that of

only necessary to introduce pipe
carrying it and another pipe with COM
pressed air or steam into the furnace,
and arrange suitable nozzles to insure
a mixture of the oil in a finely divided

A gentleman who has been in almost
every mining camp 10 the rocky noun
tains. and who recently returned from
a prospecting trip through the Philip
pines and parts of China, Informed an
ERA representative this week that in
his opinion the upper end OF the Green
lee district would prove another Grip
pleCreek. No where, in all of his travels,
has he seen such favorable indications
OF an immense gold district. This con-
firms the opinion of Los Angeles ex-
pert, who recently gave that part OF
the district careful investigation.
after which he stated that he knew of
no other section in the United States
which offered such favorable induce
meuts for the investment of capital.
That section was Il producer OF placer
gold in early days, and has also pro-
duced q considerable amount of gold
from its quartz leads, which are numeP-
Gus and strong. Colors can be PANIED
from almost any lead in that section,
and many rich shoots have been found
from which good wages have been
made By poundins-Ys the ore and pam
ming it out. The formation is said to he
identical with that OF Cripple Creek,
the veins occurring in what is known
locally at Cripple Creek as ''phonolite'
schist which has a metallic ring.
However that is, the fact remains
that the leads are giants of their class,
ranging anywhere from 20 to 1G0 feet
in width, and cutting through the
country for miles in length. If it can
once be demonstrated in a practical
manner that these veins can be made
to pay for the gold they contain, there
can be no question that in a few years
thousands of men will be employed
in that section in the gold mines. The
properties of that section are mostly
held by present owners at reasonable
price, the mines can be opened by tun-
nels, and an abundance OF water can be
bad nearby, thus affording cheap min
ing and operation of plants. 1t is 4
wonder that mining men do not give
this held careful investigation.
