FOR MINES AND MINING.
Another New Department Discussed by
House Committee.

The House committee on mines and min
ing has taken up the Woods bill to estab-
fish & department of mines and mining.
Representative Woods of California and
Mr.. w. NJ. Bunker of the San Francisco
chamber of commerce were heard by the
committee. Both emphasized the necessity
of the proposed new department to take
care of the mining interests of the country.
Speaking of these interests Mr.. Woods
called the attention of the committee to
the fact that in 1900 the product of Amer
lean mines reached the billion-dollar mark
He reviewed briefly the history of the pend
Ing proposition. The agitation for de-
partment of mines and mining has been
going on for the past twenty-five years
The Woods bill of this session is prac-
ucally the same the Barham bill on
which the committee took favorable action
at the last session. The bill provides for a
secretary for the new department, who
shall have a seat in the cabinet and one
assistant secretary. 1t also includes the
geological survey an adjunct to the new
department.
Mr.. Bunker gave the committee expert
evidence regarding the mineral and oil re-
sources of California.

REBATE ON EXPORT TAX.
It is Expected to Greatly Increase
Trade With Philippines

Secretary Root. after consultation with the
Treasury authorities. has issued instruc-
lions to Acting Civil Governor Wright of
the Philippine 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 caus-
Ell great agitation in Europe, and especi-
ally 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 in their case of the export duty
which is collected in full in the case of
European shippers. Aside from hemp the
regulations apply of course to all raw ma
teridlS coming from the Philippines upon
which export duties are levied. and at the
War Department it is believed that through
the operations of this discriminating law
there will be great increase in trade with
the United States. and a considerable ad-
ditiOn to the manufacturing interests here.
In fact. it is hoped that this will be one of
several important steps to be taken later.
which will go far towards making the Unit
ed States a vast collecting and distributing
mart for the worlds tropical goods.
The principal point in the Secretarys in
struction is that which requires the col
lection at Manila or other Philippine ports
of the export duty in every case, whether
the goods go to America or to Europe or to
the orient. But provision is made for the
return OF TIE laA 10 the shipper
If the goods are actually landed and work
ed up in the United States. So the essen
tial facts to be proved by the shipper, in
order to recover his money from the COL
lector in the Philippines is to show within
eighteen months from the date of shipment
of his goods. by competent evidence, that
they came directly from the Philippine
Islands to the United States; Were actual
ly landed in the United States and mingled
with the property thereof; were admitted
into the United States free of duty; and
FINALLY, were used and consumed in the
United States.
An important construction of another
section of the act (section y. which refers
to goods coming directly from said island
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 regardless of in
tervening ports at which the vessel may
touch.

MR.. McCLELLAN'S SPEECH.
Shows Americas Obligation to Relieve
Cuba's Distress,

Mr.. Mcclellan On. W, a member of the
ways and means committee, who favors a
greater concession to Cuba than is granted
by the bill, followed Mr.. Newands as the
last speaker in the House debate on Cuba
yesterday. He began with some humorous
remarks upon the dissensions in the repub-
lican ranks, but ventured the prediction
that by the time the roll was called upon
the final passage of the bill the strength of
the insurgents" will have dwindled until
it will consist, like the rear guard of Ma
poleon's army, of single man. That man,
upon this occasion, he predicted, would be
Mr.. Tawney (Minn.).
In arguing the obligation of the United
States to relieve the present distress in
Cuba and of our duty to start the new re-;
public under the most favorable auspices
Mr.. Mcclellan told of the interview be-
tween President Mckinley and the Cuban
commissioners when the President advised
them to return to Cuba and secure the ac-
ceptance of the Platt amendment "Presi-
dent Mckinley" said he, told them he
could make no promises, but he asked them
to trust the United States. We can pay no
higher tribute to the martyred Presidents
memory" added Mr.. Mcclellan. than to
show here that in his estimate of his coun-
try and his countrymen he was not mis-
taken" (Aplause)
Mr. Mcclellan defended his advocacy of
reciprocity. insisting that reciprocity was
democratic doctrine. Thomas Jefferson, he
said, was the first American to preach reel
procity Franklin Pierce democratic
president, negotiated the reciprocity treaty
with Canada and Cleveland had renewed
the Hawaiian treaty. Reciprocity, he said
r.ight have terrors for republicans, but il
should have none for democrats. In con
clusion, Mr. Mcclellan argued that the 20
Ger cent concession would not afford suf-
Gent relief TO Cuba, and he gave notice
that he would try to amend ii by increasing
the rate of reduction. Failing in that hs

Cattle Horns From South America

The headquarters Of the National
Live Stock Association in the Quincy
building will soon have hung up an
adornment that will be the admira-
tion Of every cattleman that drops
in.
This morning there arrived from
Chicago for President Springer as
a gift from Rosenbaum Bros, pair
of horns measuring ten feet from tip
to tip that were once carried by a
steer that roamed the grazing grounds
of South America.
This is the largest pair Of horns
ever seen, and their approximate value
is $500. The next largest pair is owned
by Mr.. Springer, and are the ones that
received the first prize at the Chicago
Worlds Fair in 1898, and are valued
at $500.
The same firm presented them to
the national association, believing
that such oddities should be in the
headquarters of that association and
nowhere else.
Great horns on cattle are very
rapidly disappearing, owing to the
improved breeding, and as mementos
OF past age compared with the short
er and no horns at all, together with
the improved beef qualities Of the
steers present day, the long horns are
extremely valuable.-Denver Post.
