AN INDUSTRY PROMOTER
PHILIPPINE TARIFF LAW MAY
PROVE TO DE OF GREAT BENEFIT.
May Make This Country a Collecting
and Distributing Mart for the
Worlds Tropical Goods.

WASHINGTON, April S.-Secretary Root,
after consultation with the treasury au-
thorities, has issued instructions to acting
Civil Governor Luke Wright, of the Phil
ippine islands, to give effect TO that part
of the Philippine tariff act which provides
for a rebate of the export duties on goods
shipped from the Philippines into the
United States. This matter is realized to
be one of great Importance, and has caused
much agitation in Europe, and especially
in London, where the vast Manila rope
industry is threatened with a severe blow
by the advantage that will be given to
rope makers in the United States through
the remission of the export duty, which
will be collected in full from European
shippers. Aside from hemp the regulations
apply to all raw materials from the Philip
pines on which export duties are levied.
1t Is believed that through the operations
of this discriminating law there will be a
States bottoms and considerable ad-
dition to the manufacturing interests
here. 1t is hoped by this and other
important steps, to be taken later to
make the United States a vast collect
ing and distributing mart for the world s
tropical goods The principal point in the
secretarys instruction is that which re-
quires the collection at Manila or other
Philippine ports of the export duty in
every case whether the goods go 10 Amer
lea or 10 Europe or to the Orient. But pro-
vision is made for the return of the tax
TO the American shipper If the goods act
ually are landed and worked up in the
United States.
An important construction of another sec
tion of the act (Sec. y which refers to
goods coming directly from said Philip
pines to the United States" declares that
this applies where the goods at the time
of shipment are declared to be destined
for a port in the United States, regard
less OF intervening ports at which the ves-
sci may touch.

MAJOR WALLER'S ORDERS
GEN. JACOB III. SMITH INSTRUCTED
HIM TO KILL AND BURN.
Not TO Take Prisoners, hut to Make
Samar IN HOwIing Wilderness
Frank HaIfOrd Also Testifies.

MANILA, April s.-Maj. Littleton w. T.
Waller of the marine corps, at tO-day's
session of the court-martial by which he
is being tried on the charge OF having exc
cuted natives of Samar, testified in rebuttal
of the evidence given yesterday by Gen.
Jacob II. Smith. who commanded the
American troops in the Island of Samar
The major said General Smith instructed
him to kill and burn; said that the more he
killed and burned the better pleased he
would be; that ii was no time to take prs-
oners, and that he was TO make Samar a
bowling wilderness. Major Waller asked
General Smith to define the age limit for
killing and he replied, Everything over
ten" The major repeated this order to
Captain Porter, saying: I'VE do not make
war in that way on old men, women and
children"
Capt. David I. Porter. Capt. Hiram Bearss
and Lieut. Frank Halford. all of the marine
corps, testified cOrroboratively.
The defense requested that subpoena be
served on the adjutant general demanding
the production of the records of the
massacre at Balangiga of the detachment
of the Ninth Infantry in order TO refute
the statement of General Smith to the Ell
feet that the attack on the troops was
made according TO the laws of war. The
request was granted.

land on the west side of the city. Two
trainmen are dead and three others hurt.
No passengers were hurt.

J. r. CARR, baggageman, Indianapolis,
ankle sprained and leg and back injured.
The wreck is believed TO be the result of
a washed out track. caused by the inces-
SAINT downpour of rain for the past twelve
hours.
The engineer and fireman were crushed TO
death beneath their engine. The injured
trainmen were brought to the Central Sta
tion on a wrecking train, whence they were
taken to hospitals.
Later exports concerning the injured men
are that they are not seriously hurt, and
did not require hospital care. They were
sent to their rooms. where speedy recovery
is expected. The locomotive and mail car
went over the embankment and the en-
gineer and the fireman were buried under
the engine and are supposed to have met in
stant death.
Where the accident occurred the track
runs along Walworth run and the roadbed
was undermined and washed out by the
high water in the run caused by the heavy
rain. The track had all the appearance OF
being safe and sound and the train was
running at full speed when the weak spot
in the track was struck.

SON PLEADS GUILTY.

Accordingly the House went into COM
mittee Of the whole. Mr.. Sherman. of New
York, in the chair. IL was decided that the
time should be equally divided for and
against the bill. Mr.. Payne then began his
argument In opening ne pointed out the
peculiar relations existing between the
United States and Cuba growing out of the
Spanish war, to which ne remarked Incl
dentaly, he had been opposed. and the
limitations placed upon Cuban indepen-
dence by the Platt amendment and the
obligations which it placed upon the United
States. IL was our duty, he agreed. TO see
that the new government was started un-
der the best auspices. and to do all i'm our
power TO make the experiment successful.
lie then proceeded TO describe the indus
trial conditions in Cuba growing out of the
depression Of the sugar industry. upon
which the prosperity OF the island rested.
He gave figures brought out i'm the hear
ings and reports.
CONCESSION NECESSARY.
If Cuba was to have chance to become
a free and independent republic he declared
that it was absolutely necessary to tide her
over the present crisis. The 20 per cent
reduction would save the planters from
bankruptcy until the removal of the boun-
ty system in Europe. which the Brussels
conference abolished. 10 take effect on Sept
!. 1903. 1t was hoped this would result in
the return of sugar to its normal price.
Mr. Payne declared that he had not been
ready TO make this concession until he be-
came convinced that IL would injure no
.merican industry. He charged that a por-
ton OF the opposition TO this bill was in
reality seeking TO bring about free trade
with Cuba. 1t was notable that Mr.. Payne
addressed his remarks almost entirely to
those Republicans who are opposing reCi-
prOclty. He seldom even looked over to the
side OF the Democrats. Mr.. Payne was
very insistent on his contention that the
cuban planters would reap the entire ad-
vantage of the % per cent reduction of the
duty and that the sugar trust would get
nothing.
Mr.. Payne produced report from Gov.
Wood. which showed that up to April
there had been ground 5S4. 259 tons of which
the trust held options on 32S5 tons other
Americans 2.195 tons and % 646 tons had
been exported TO the United States. The
remainder. General Wood reported, was
held by Cuban planters or commission
being held by the Cubans awaiting action
by Congress.
rs IL not also fair TO assume" interposed
W. A. Smith, of Michigan. that the sugar
trust which is the principal customer of
the Cuban planters. is also holding off
awaiting action by Congress-"
Mr.. Payne said he could not be prevented
from trying TO help Cuba by fear of the
sugar trust. Mr. Payne then turned his at
tention TO the benefits which would accrue
10 the United State. He said il had been
predicted that in a few years we would
have the bulk Of the Cuban trade and that
our exports to that country would reach

FAT CATTLE
Will be Cheap Hereafter
Chicago Man Thinks He Has
Arranged For Il.

Chicago, July 30.-By an invention
of John Hammer, a Chicagoan, the
whole practice of feeding livestock,
particularly cattle for beef, is likely
to be revolutionized, according to the
claim of the inventor and those as
sociated with him. incidentally, it is
said that with the cost of fattening
cattle cut in two, the price Of beef
is likely to be reduced permanently.
The invention of Hammer consists
of a large case made of galvanized
iron and about three and half feet
wide and deep and five feet high. This
case contains a number of shallow
drawers in which corn can be placed,
in layers about three inches deep.
All around the outside of the case,
on top and four sides, is layer Of
common wood moss. This moss is
about three inches thick and is COM
pressed by wire netting, so that it
forms practically sponge, capable Of
absorbing large amount of water.
The corn is placed in the drawers
and water poured into the moss. AL
most Immediately a process of sprout-
ing begins that in three or four days
converts the hard grain into a mass
of tender young shoots, fed by the
softened pulp. 1t is then ready for
feeding, and is taken out of the draw
ers, fresh corn being substituted and
the process of sprouting repeated. On
this corn, 1t is claimed the time re-
quired to fatten cattle will be cut in
two.
