WILL REPEAL
WAR TAX BILL
WAYS AND MEANS MAJORITY HAS
so DECIDED
Republicans Will Meet This Morning
to Frame a Measure for Prac-
ticaIIy AbOIishing the War
Revenue Bill.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-The Repub-
hcan members of the ways and means
committee held a private conference to-
night and decided to frame a bill for the
reduction of war revenue taxes before
proceeding further with the subject of
Cuban reciprocity.
Chairman Payne at once called a
meeting of the full committee for IL
o'clock tomorrow morning, when work
ON the war revenue reduction bill will
begin. No draft Of d bill has been pre-
pared by the Republican members, bat
ii is pretty fully understood that the ma
Jority is prepared to favor a measure
effecting very large reductions, amount
ing practically to a repeal of the entire
war taxes, and aggregating about
SOS COZ, 600
The restriction of recent hearings to
beer and tea led to the belief that re-
ductiCns might be confined to these two
articles, but the sentiment of the ma
Jorlty now appears to be favorable to
much larger reduction. At the con
ference today it was the prevailing view
that as Cuba had been the cause FOR
1ncuTring the war revenue taxes, the
burden should be removed from this
country before considering the extent OF
relief to be granted to Cuba.

Three POINTS MADE
IN SCHLEYS APPEAL
Secretary Longs Approval of the
Majority Report of the Naval Court
Is Strongly Objected To.
DEWEYS OPINION HELD TO BE GOOD

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-The navy
department has made public Admiral
Schley's appeal, delivered to the pres
ident about one week, ago. The depart
ment's comment will be published in
a day or two.
Admiral Schley appeals to the pres
ident as the chief executive and com
mander-in-chief of the army and navy.
vested with power to regulate and di-
rect the acts of the several executive Of
hcers thereof, and he asks that the
president review the findings Of the
court on three grounds, in each case
passing us appeal on the findings Of Ad-
mlral Dewey, as opposed to the majority
report.
These three grounds are set out COM
pendiously in the petition which fills
about eight printed pages Of a pamphlet
and is signed by Admiral Schley and
by Messrs. Rayner, Parker and league,
OF his counsel. Attached to the petition
are three exhibits, "A" "B," and &C."
each made up of copious extracts from
the testimony taken by the court of in
qulry and intended to confirm the state
ments OF fact made in the petition itself.
Flying Squadron Blockade.
In his latter document the first ground
OF appeal is the holding of Secretary
Long in his Endorsement on the courts
41AlNAHSS tlldI the COnQuct OF the court
in making no finding, and rendering no
opinion on those questions Chat of com
mand and Of credit for the victory is ap-
proved-indeed, it could, with propriety
take no other course, evidence on these
questions during the inquiry having been
excluded by the court On this point
the petition says that the secretary OF
he navy was in error in stating that the
court excluded testimony to show that,
as Dewey said Schley was the senior
ofhcer in the battle Of Santiago; was in
absolute command and entitled to the
credit due for the glorious victory which
resulted in the total destruction OF the
Spanish ships.
Therefore, the petitioner asks the pres
ident to annul Secretary Longs indorse-
ment on this point, and that he spe-
cifically approve Admiral Dewey's state
ment declaring that Schley was in com
mand. lie says that only in this way
can exact justice be done him under the
precept.
DeweS's Opinion Justified.
The second ground relates to the al
legged. withdrawal of the squadron at
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-01-30

night from Santiago bay and the char
acter of the blockade, and the propriety
of Commodore Schley's conduct in Sthe
premises. This was one of the points
upon which Admiral Dewey specifically
dissented
The petition recites the findings of the
court to the effect that the flying SQUAD
ron did not withdraw at night and de-
clares that by this statement, the court
oovlated the necessity of expressing it's
opinion as to whether or not a close or
adequate blockade was established. and
the propriety of Commodore Schley's
conduct in the premises.
The third ground recites Admiral
Dewey's opinion to the effect that the
passage from Key West to Cienfuegos
was made by the flying squadron with
all possible dispatch, having III view the
Importance of arriving off Cienfuegos
with sufficient coal; that the blockade OF
Clenfuegos was effective; that the Adula
was permitted to gain information: and
nhaliy that the passage from Cienfuegos
TO a point off Santiago was made with
as much dispatch as possible, while
keeping the squadron a unit.
Inc petition declares that this opinion.
pelng at variance in certain points with
the majority opinion, is the only one
JUSTIFIED by the evidence and facts be-
Iore the court and it is asked that the
O1'tA approval OF InS majority
hndlngs be set aside and annulIed in
each instance where it is at variance
with Admiral Dewey's opinion, and that
the latter's opinion should be approved
Tor the reasons set out in the bill of ex-
ceptions filed with the secretary Of the
navy.
1t is also asked that the president an
hul that portion of Secretary Longs in
dorsement which states: LAS to points
on which the presiding member differs
from the opinion of the majority of the
court the opinion Of the majority is
approved I'd that in place be substi-
tuted and approved the declaration Of
Admiral Dewey on these points above
referred to, connected with the passage
from Key West to Cienfuegos and
thence to Santiago. The petition con-
cludes:
And your petitioner most respectable
states that only by the action for which
ne prays in this relation can exact ius-
uce be done him within the contempla-
uon OF the precept under which the
said court sat and whence it derived
its authoFity.

The first blaze that was visible was on

1t was only the work Of q moment for 1t

with little minarets, and the flames were
drawn down once more into the interior
of the building. The immense space OF
the auditorium furnished a supply of air
that made all efforts to extinguish the
flames utterly futile. The interior was
entirely of wood, consisting of pews and
galleries, and these went like tinder

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-For an hour
today the senate had under discussion
the question whether a censorship CT
press dispatches exists in Manila. While
no such turbulent scenes as yesterdays
We're enacted, the debate for a time was
very spirited. The secretary of war was
quoted as saying that no press censor
ship now existed in the Philippines, and
a letter from Gen. Greedy, chief signal
officer of the army, was presented by Mr.
BeVeridge, of Indiana, making the state
ment officially that there was on censor
ship of press dispatches and that the
press is entirely free
1t was contended by the opposition that
a press censorship did exist in the Philip
pines aud that copies of every news dis
patch filed with the cable company was
filed with the military authorities. That,
it was maintained, constituted virtual
censorship.
CuIIOm on Reciprocity.
Mr.. Cullom, chairman of the committee
on foreign relations, delivered an extend
ed and carefully prepared speech on the
history of the reciprocity negotiations.
He said in part:
In my opinion, the fourth section of
the Dingley act, so far as it attempts to
confer, limit or define the treaty-making
power, is not only an interference with
JLe powers OIL the president ana senate,
but is unconstitutional because it comes in
conflict with the clause of the constitu-
ton. which says that the president shall
have power, by and with the advice ana
consent of the senate, tomake treaties
We do not, therefore, derive our treaty
making powers from a law of congress,
and no law of congress can in any way
modify or limit those powers. The Ding
ley act cannot limit the time in which
we shall be allowed to make a treaty.
This question before us here has been
before the senate for a hundred years
The executive and the senate have taken
one position and that is that d treaty
is the supreme law OF the land. That
position has been sustained by the su-
preme court. On the other hand, during
all these hundred years, the house of
representatives has, as a rule, insisted
that they should be considered in ref
erence to certain treaties. That does not
relieve lis, the senate, of the duty of
standing for our prerogatives and cur
rights, and insisting that the rights Of
the executive shah be maintained.
Mr.. Lodge insisted that consideration

WASHINGTON, d. c., jan 29-The
competition between Representatives
Tawney and McCleary is becoming
spirited and has taken a new turn.
Both are now going to see who can get
the most public buildings for their dis
tricts.
Tawney has prepared bills for build
ings at Austin, Albert Lea, Owatonna,
Rochester, Lake City and Waseca. The
aggregate cost is to be about $i50OO0
McCleary is understood to be listing
places in his district having over 5000
population and he will have bills for
a new structure in each.
Both men are cultivating Dave
Kercher, chairman of the committee on
buildings, and by grace of his favor hope
to show their constituents that they are
eligible TO be governor or senator.

His declination irritated Mr.. Tillman,

Mr.. Lodge disclaimed any intention of
