FIXES PHILIPPINE TARIFF.
Senate Passes Bill by a Strictly Party Vote
Some Warm Speeches.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Aiter eight
hours of tumultuous debate, the senate,
shortly before : o'clock last evening,
passed the Philippine tariff bill by II
vote OF 46 to 26, strictly party vote.
During the debate on the bill, Me-
Comas and Wellington, OF Maryland,
became involved in controversy, dur
ng the course of which the latter de-
clared that if McComas should make
his statements outside of the senate
chamber he would brand them as Il
malicious falsehood. He was called to
order promptly and resumed his seat
amid considerable excitement.
Many amendments were offered to
the Philippine bill, but, except those
offered by the committee, only one-an
amendment restoicting the operation of
the sedition laws enacted by the Taft
commission-was passed. The amend
ment of Foraker, fixing the rate of
duties levied upon products coming into
the United States from the Philippines
at so per cent OF the Dingley rates, in
stead OF IS per cent, as fixed in the
bill, was lost, but it received a large
Republican vote. Had the Democrats
voted for it as a party, it would have
carried, but many Democrats voted
against it.

The pins of the lower ends should be Of

his special train awaited him. A

Pig Pen Pointers,

Many times pigs die from overlooking
the SOW the first week after narrowing.
Start business with good boar.
Good blood Is requisite. and so is good
care.
Sometimes when two sows farrow at
the same time. one with a large litter
and the other with a small one. tho
pigs can be devided equally between
the mothers. though this should not be
attempted after the pigs are three days
old.
The first thing in profitable pig rails
ing is to grow the frame. then put flesh
on It, You cannot successfully do both
at the same time.
Pure bred swine are all right but
don't treat them as you would scrub
stock. High bred animals are very
susceptible to surroundings and care.
The farmer who is not willing to
give time and attention to valuable
stock would better stick to the scrubs.
But any animal requires rational treat
ment for profitable results.
A writer has well said that 1t is SIM

a pig in cold weather to make him
comforta Bile without keeping him In q

AS passed, the measure provides that
articles imported into the Philippine
archipelago from the United States
shall be required to pay the duties lev
led against them by the Philippine
commission, and paid upon like articles
imported into the archipelago from for
eign countries; that articles imported
into the United States from the Philip
pines, shall pay a duty Of 10 per cent
OF the rates fixed by the Dingley law,
less any export taxes paid upon the ar
ticles sent from the Philippine arrhi-
pelago, as required by the Philippine
commission. All articles now imported
free into the United States shall here
after be exempt from export duty i'm
posed in the Philippines.
The bill exempts the commerce pass
ing between the United States and the
Philippines from the operation of the
navigation laws of the United States
until July ! 1904, and authorizes the
Philippine commission to issue licenses
to craft now engaged in lighterage or
exclusive harbor business, provided
such craft are built in the United States
or in the Philippines and owned by citi-
zens of the United States or by inhabi-
tants of the Philippines. The duties
and taxes collected in pursuance of this
act shall be paid into the treasury of
the Philippine islands and used for
their benefit.
All articles manufactured, in bonded
warehouses, of imported materials, or
of materials subject to internal revenue
tax, when shipped from the United
States to the Philippines, shall be ex-
empt from the internal revenue, and
all taxes paid upon such articles
shipped to the Philippines since No
vember Is. 1901, shall be refunded.

BURIED BY SNOW.
-Four Stiles Garry Death to Miners-At Least
Fourteen cad.

Telluride, Colo, March 3.-Fourteen
dead as many more injured and a score
or more missing, is the result so far as
known, of a series of snowslides which
occurred today in the immediate vicin-
ity of the Liberty Bell mine, on Snug
gler mountain, three and half miles
north of Telluride. The roads between
here and the Liberty Bell are almost
impossible and details of the accident
are hard to obtain. 1t seems that no
less than four distinct slides occurred,
each one claiming two or more victims.
Several bodies have been recovered. but
quite a number of the known dead are
still buried under the tons of snow,
rock and timber by which they were
carried down.
The first slide occurred at 7:30
O'Clock this morning and carried away
the boarding and bunk houses and the
farmhouse of the mine. About $50
men are regularly employed in the
mines and mills of the Liberty Bell
mine, but large number of men from
the night shifts were in Telluride YES
terday and were prevented from return
ing to the mine by the terrible storm
which was raging. The day shift had
just gone to work, leaving comparative
ly few underground workers at the
bunkhouse.
The slide came without warming.
The three large buildings were carried
down the steep mountain side a dis
lance of about 200 feet and literally
ground to Splinters, not Il board being
left intact. The snow and debris piled
in the bottom Of the canyon % feet
deep.
Those who escaped the slide at once
began the work OF rescuing their less
fortunate companions. A dozen or
more were taken out alive, some OF
them badly injured, however.
Shortly after noon, while the work of
digging out bodies was going on, the
second slide came down, almost in the
track of the first The mountain side is
very steep and the descent of the snow
mass was so swift that "a of the res
cuers we're caught, two being killed.
At $3.50 o'clock Superintendent
Chase, of the Liberty Bell mine, or
dered the work of rescue suspended, de-
claring that it was useless to endanger
life further while slides We're running.

San Fra,sco, Feb. 26.-One OF the

hour in e city, while at Point Reyes

Ships dgged their anchors, or broke
their rorings at their docks; fishing

electr light wires were down, and
awniss, shade trees and fences were
wreced and pedestrians were greatly
incovenienced. Telegraphic commu-
niciion with the outside world was cut
off
he full force of the storm was felt
oythe bay, and the bar was so rough
tat vessels were unable to leave port.
lorth of the ferries, craft of all sorts
kere tossed about like egg shells. The
violent south wind stirred the bay into
rolling, tempestuOus sea, against
which anchors were almost futile.
Swell after swell, each apparently
heavier than the one preceding, pound
ed the vessels from the southerly direc-
ton, and sent them drifting in danger
ons proximity to one another; drove
them close to the piers and the islands,
and kept the towboats busily engaged
in efforts to prevent disaster.
The San Francisco lightship No. 20,
located seven miles from Point Lobos,
parted her moorings during the height
of the storm and was soon drifting to-
ward the harbor, which she finally
made. At the time she went astray,
the wind was blowing at the rate of 20
miles an hour.
The gale, as it swept over the Pre-
sidio reservation, left in it's trail wreck
and ruin. The signal officers of the
reservation say that at one time during
the morning the wind was blowing at
the rate of 60 miles an hour. Dozens
of tents were wrenched from their posi-
tions, and, after being carried high in
the air, were landed yards away, where
they were afterward gathered up by the
rain soaked soldiers, who had fought so
hard to save them. The majority of
the tents simply collapsed under the
pressure of the wind. To the soldiers
the wreck of the tents was a serious
affair, for the majority of them had all
their possessins under the tents, and
before they could collect their belong
ings, they were thoroughly soaked with
rain.
In the residence portion of the city
bordering on the military reservation,
much damage was done to high fences
and lofty chimneys. In the Mission
district three three-story buildings were
blown down.

Seediug with Clover.

its cost by going over the wheat with
light or smoothing harrow before
sowing the clover seed. This will bene-
fit wheat or rye if done at the right

enough to cause the harrow to sink too
deep and uproot the plants. This
makes good seed bed for the clover,

will not make growth enough to injure
