FOR PHILIPPINE RELIEF.
The Democratic Position on the
TnriG Bill for That Purpose LIS
for obstruction.

The Philippine tariff bill, as amend
ed, passed the senate by strict party
vote. The republicans solidly sup
ported it, the democrats with equal
unanimity voting against it. The demo-
cratic attitude in the senate is practi-
cally The same as in the house, where
the minority, with but few striking eX
ceptions, also antagonized the bill at
the time of its passage, says the Troy
Times.
The democratic position is neither
logical nor patriotic. The Philippines
belong to the United States under the
terms of treaty ratified by democrat
ic as well as republican votes in the
senate. The question what shall be
done with them is not bipartisan one.
Just at present the most vital matter
is that of providing them with an in
come sufficient to meet the needs of
government, and of relieving their in
dustries and commerce from burden
some eXactions. The tariff bill is
framed with the commendabIe purpose
of meeting these needs. Yet the dem
ocratic minority sturdily opposes the
plan.
But the bill will become law. The
house is yet to act on the amendments
made by the senate, though there is
little likelihood of serious disagree
ment, and the measure is pretty GER
tain to go to the president and to re-
ceive his approval before many days
have passed. As it stands now the bill
requires articles imported into the
Philippines to pay such duties as may
be imposed by the Philippine commits
sion, while articles imported into the
United States from the Philippines
shall pay a duty of - per cent. of the
rates fixed by the Dingley law on inn
ports from other countries, less the
export duty that may be levied at the
shipping point. Relief from the navi-
cation laws of the United States is also
granted to commerce passing between
the Philippines and this country, and
the internal revenue laws of the Unit
ed States are suspended so far as con-
Germs articles manufactured in bonded
manufacturing warehouses of import
ed materials or of materials subject
to such tax and shipped to the Philip
pines.
All the duties and taxes collected un-
der the law are to be paid into the
treasury of the Philippine islands. In
short in order to help the islands the
American government surrenders a
considerable portion of the income il
might otherwise receive. This is the
same broad policy it has pursued to-
ward Porto Rico and is proof of its
kindly spirit toward its far eastern
possessions.

PERILOUS MARCH.
Maj. Waller Tells About His
Journey Across Samar.
Startling with so Wien. Eleven Of Them
Died from Exhaustion 80 The
Party Suffered Countless
Hardships--EXpcdi
tion Failure.

Washington, March 20.-The navy
department has made public another
report from Mai Waller, recounting
in detail the stirring events of his
tragic effort to cross the island of
Samar. Maj. Waller begins with
statement that Lieut. Williams,
Seventh infantry, who had returned
from II days trip in a fruitless
search for a trail, and Capt. Picker
ing urged him not to make the at
tempt to cross Samar on account of
the difficulties. But he decided to
make the attempt in view of the
commanding generals evident desire
to find the trail and run wire
across, starting with so men on De-
cember 20 from Lanang. The rivers
were much swollen and it took long
time to get the boat through the
rapids. Trails were picked up only
to be lost again and the rain came
down in torrential bursts. The river
the men were following curved al
most to circle. and the banks held
no trails. The route crossed and re-
crossed the river every few minutes,
and the men began to develop water
sores and chafes. The knowledge
that they made four or five miles in
direction for each II miles of march
was depressing. On the 3Oth re-
duced rations were issued.
A raft was built, but sank with one
man on it. Starting down the river,
word came to Waller that many men
could not keep up, so he decided to
forge ahead for relief with Is of the
strongest men, leaving Capt. Porter
in command of the main body
Word from the rear was that the
men could make only three miles
day. There was only enough bacon
to fry the potatoes. The natives
were reported to be threatening
Porter and altogether the expedition
was in a bad way. Two natives were
captured and pressed into service as
guides. Finally the Spanish trail
was found, but simultaneously
large boat was discovered and the
start was made for Basey. The re-
port says:
"The men, realizing that all was
over and that they were safe, and
once more near home. gave up. Some
quietly wept, others laughed hyster-
ically. Most of the men had no
shoes; cut, torn, bruised and dilapi-
dated they had marched without
murmur for % days, and had accom-
plished what no white troops had
done before"
At Basey Waller was taken sick
with fever, and suffered also from
his injured ankle He says that the
expedition was of no value except to
show that the mountains can be pen
etrated and that there are no in
surgents there.
Waller says that he was the only
one of his party able to move on
February s. Ten of the men died of
exhaustion and one in the hospital.
All of the others, except Capt.
Beares, Lieut.. Halford, Lieut.. LyIes
and Maj. Waller himself, either were
or had been in the hospital at the
date of the report. The length of his
march was 80 miles,

ON A HERESY CHARGE.
A Prominent Methodist Preacher Is
Cited TO Appear for Trial.

Mcpherson, Kan, March 21.-Rev.
Granville Louther, pastor of local
church, was, served with papers at a
Methodist Episcopal conference here
yesterday charging him with heresy
and setting forth that he would be
tried at Arkansas City, Kan, March
26. Rev. Louther is charged with
being guilty "of disseminating doc
trines contrary to and subversive of
the doctrines of the Methodist Eps-
copal church." and it is alleged that.
he is "Atheistic and evolutionistic."
Mr.. Louther has been identified for
years with the Kansas State Holiness
association as its president. He be-
lieves that in religion, as well as in
world building, good is proceeding
from lower to higher forms and that
this process must continue in the
future as it has in the past. He con-
tends that creeds are valuable only
as landmarks.

A GRAVE CHARGE.
Publishing Firm Accused of
Defrauding Through Mail.
Post Office Detectives Take Action In
the Case and the Arrest of officers
of the Philadelphia Concern
Soon FoIIOw--Victims
Badly Fooled.

Philadelphia, March 21.-Charles r.
Graham, president of the Peoples
Publishing Co.; William L. Holloway,
former manager of the company, and
George y. Clements, former assist
ant manager, were yesterday held ~
$4,000 bail each for trial on the charge
of using the mails to cheat and de-
fraud.
The charge was preferred by Post
Office Inspector Holden, who testified
at the hearing that the Peoples Co.
had for long time past been making
a practice of securing agents for the
sale of alleged worthless books. He
said they employed canvassers and
general agents to dispose of their
publications. 1t is alleged that the
sum of 5000 is asked from the agents,
with the understanding that it is to
be used as a deposit as an expression
of good faith for one years time. vt
the expiration of the year, if the
agreement is found to be unsatisfac-
tory, the deposit money is to be re-
turned.
According to letters received by the
post office authorities from Prof. J..
Il. Thomas, of Williamsburg, Pa; +.
ID. Owings, of Knoxville, Tenn;
George Spiney, of Plttsburg, and
many others, this agreement has not
been adhered to.
The alleged victims assert that
when they receive the books they find
them valueless for canvassing.
William l.. Holloway and George Y
Clements recently went out of the
Peoples Publishing Co. and started
concern of their own called the Do.
minion Company"
The books of the Peoples Publish
ing Co. are allowed to be valucless
and the business of the general
agents of the defendants i'm securing
other sub-agents, is said to have
netted them $4,000, as far as is at
present known by the post Office au-
thoritieS.
Cincinnati, March 21.-Lewis Il.
Holloway was arrested Thursday,
charged with using the mails to de-
fraud. The complaint was made by
j. w. Fulton. of Columbus. o., who.
says Holloway obtained from him
$500 in payment for an outtt as
salesman for the Peoples Publishing
Co. Fulton was to sell books at a
salary of $500 year. He alleges
that he has been defrauded by rep
reservations sent him through the
mail by Holloway. The post Office in
spectors who had charge of the case,
say that complaints have come from
other persons, of experiences similar
to that of Fulton. Holloway gave
bail

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Evidences of Improvement are Nu-
merous I'm All Branches Of Industry.

New York, March 22.-R. G. Dun &5
Co.'S Weekly Review OF Trade says:
Evidences of further improvement are
numerous. Labor controversies are
less threatening, many settlements
having been effected, while others are
momentarily anticipated; wages have
been advanced, not only through
strikes, but in some cases voluntar-
lily; traffic congestion has subsIded
until it is possible to deliver goods
according to specifications. Aside
from some idle footwear shops, the
leading lines of manufacture are very
fully engaged, while jobbng trade is
of exceptional magnitude. Retail
dealings are also very large, the
Easter stimulus being felt in all lines
of wearing apparel. With domestic
demands so vigorous, it is especially
encouraging to- notice gain from the
last week on foreign trade at the
principal ports.
Pressure for iron and steel has not
diminished perceptibly, yet the inn
preston is growing that after July
1 the situation will become approXi-
mately normal and it will be possible
to secure deliveries with some de-
gree of pr0mptness. This is the
more probable as there has been
further stiffening of quotations and
additional impOrtationS.

Ann Arbor, Mich, March 22.-

Queen Wilhelmina of Holland un-
like several other European sov-
ereigns, can leave her dominions when
she likes, and is at no time obliged
to remain in her Kingdom. In this re-
spect she is more fortunate than, for
instance, the young ruler of Spain and
his mother, who can not leave the
peninsula without previously obtain
ing full-ledged permission from the
national legislature. The only obli-
cation placed upon Queen Wilhelmina
in this respect is that of spending a
minimum of 10 days each year at Am
sterdam, which is the real metropolis.

South Germany's oldest monastery,
the Benedictine abbey of Wessobrun,
founded in 735 and confiscated in 1903,
has been restored to the Benedictine
order by Baron Won Cramer-Klett, a
protestant, and will soon be reoccu-
by monks. The baron bought all the
lands and remaining buildings of the
old abbey from the Bavarian state for
100000 marks and sold them to the
Benedictines for a nominal sum.

There is no more interesting or GU

Aso San, about 80 miles from the city
of Kumamoto, in Japan. The crater
has long since ceased to belch forth
cinders and lava, and is now inhabited
by 10000 people, who live and prosper
within its vertical walls, 500 feet high.
The inhabitants rarely make journey
into the outer world, but form, as it
were, little nation by themselves.

In the vast tropical forests that
clothe the banks of the Amazon river
and its tributaries there are gathered
every year $4,000 tons of rubber, and
100000 laborers are engaged in get
ting it out. This requires the tapping
OF some $4,000, 900 trees. and, as the
rubber trees are scattered through
the woods, with an average of two
trees to the acre, it may be taken
that since the beginning of the sea-
son in last August 5O,OOO,OOG acres of
Amazonian forest have been worked
for rubber.

Spectroscopic observations prove
that auroras occur much more fire.
quently than has been supposed. At a
new observatory near Gottingen, the
aurcral line was distinctly seen in the
northern sky by E. Wieehert from
November to 9, and he was led at first
TO suspect that the phenomenon is al
ways with US. But it could not be de-
tected on clear evenings of December
and January The line again appeared
in all parts of the sky on February
% and March 3, and it was calculated
that, if the aurora's height was not
less than 80 miles, the same method
should detect it as far as the south of
italy. In all these observations, the
naked eye, showed nothing but faint
general luminosity of the sky, not half
as bright as the Milky Way.
