STEPHENS NAMES FOLK
TO SUCCEED DOGKERY
Former Missouri Governor, at New Will
lard, Says German Is Second
Choice for President.

Lon v stephens, who preceded Gov
ernor Dockery as chief executive Of
Missouri. is stopping 1T the New VIII
lard. Mr.. Stephens is in the city on a
vacation. and is improving the oppor-
tunity to look up the numerous friends
he made while governor of his State.
The Democrats have a "cinch" in Mis-
souri,, and District Attorney Folk has
the best chance for the Democratic
gubernatOrial nomination. according to
the ex-governor He says:
Mr.. Folk represents the element that
is trying to get rid~of the old machine
In Missouri. and naturally he has the
force OF the machine directed against
him, but for nearly every machine vote
he loses he will gain Republican votes
from those of the opposite psrty who
admire the manner in which he has at
tempted to purify the politics of the
State.
'Mr. Folk i9bors under the disad-
vantage Of being the candidate against
the field. To win he must beat all the
other candidates and any combination
they may form against him.
1t must not be taken for granted
that every Democrat who opposes Mr..
Folk is a CRATER or stands for the
grating system. He has as rival can
didates for the nomination Judge
Cant Of the supreme court of the state;
Mayor Reid Of Kansas City, ana Harry
Hawees. president OF the police board
OF St Louis These men have clean
records and powerful personal friends.
Senator Cockrell is the candidate Of
Missouri for the Democratic Presidential
nomination. but he has made no com
paign along that line. He is a candi-
cate 10 succeed himself as Senator but
ne viii probably receive the solid State
vote for the nomination. Should he not
prove an important factor believe
that Senator German would prove the
second choice for Missouri Democrats.

REDUCTION OF TARIFF
ON PHILIPPINE EXPORTS
Prosperity of Islands Would Be Pro-
NOTED by Discrimination in Favor
of Exports to United States.

Reduction in the tariff on Philippine
products brought into the United States
is necessary for the prosperity and i'm
Drovement of the new insular posses.
siOns. according to the annual report OF
Col. Clarence r. Edwards, chief of the
Bureau OF Insular Affairs. 1t is urged
by Colonel Edwards that such a reduc.
ton would not work to the detrimen;
OF American producers, as the Filipinos
do not send products here which como
in competition with the products Of thi9
country.
Hemp. copra, sugar, and tobacco are
the chief Philippine exports. Hemp and
copra are already Oh the free list Or
the tobacco Imports TO this country las.
year only .OO1 per cent came from the.
Philippines and only .O07 per cent of the
sugar imports We're from the islands.
In Colonel Edwards opinion reduction
in the tariff rates on these products
would not affect commerce to any appre.
cable extent, but would result in great
benefit to the Philippines.
British vessels carry 80 per cent of the
Philippine foreign commerce. Spanish
German, and Norwegian vessels came III
for a large share of the trade and
American bottoms carried less than ?
per cent of the trade. After July 1, 1904
the interstate trade. as well as that be-
tween the United States and the Phil
iDDines. is to be limited tc American
bottoms
The enforcement of this act threatens
to hinder trade for a time on sEcount OF
the limited number OF vessels permitted
to fly the American flag. Colonel Ed
wards is receiving many inquiries as to
what vessels Congress wiz admit to
American registry. Ee advises that all
vessels now in the Philippine trade be
granted American registry and that ar
ter the act goes into force only vessels
built in the Philippines or the United
States be registered.
Colonel Edwards reviews the success
full operation OF the new fiscal system
for the islands which will be carried into
full effect by the first OF next January
The new circulating medium consists or
IS, 10000 pesos and fractional silver
coins and 1G, 900, 600 pesos in paper money.

Has Achieved Success.

GldS ACutcNCu SuCCGsSs
Representative John Sharp Williams
has occupied the position Of minority
leader in the House for two weeks. and
already the Democrats are commenting
with favor upon the success which he has
achieved 1t is a difficult task to sue
coed with a minority. and especially
such a minority as the Democracy of
the House, representing such wide va
rance of views ana opinions upon sub
jects Of legislation.
What Mr.. Williams has done in two
weeks has been TO bring this minority
together and TO unite il as it has not
since it has been a minority. Before
the Democratic caucus was held the
Democrats were badly divided upon the
question of Cuban reciprocity. Some
were in favor OF the measure proposed
by the Ways and Means COMMITTEES:
Others opposed il; others wanted moot
flying and qualifying amendments, and
still others did not know just what their
position was or would be.
Mr.. Williams brought practically the
entire minority to his view. which was
that they should fight against a rule
prohibiting amendments. and for an
amendment TO the measure striking out
the fiYe-year clause and inserting one
to. remove the diferential on refined
sugar. When these moves were defeat
ed as he well knew they would be. Mr.
Williams advice was that the Demo-
Gratis should, Notwithstanding. support

Caucus e. Binding.

But he did not make this decision Of
the caucus absolutely binding upon
those who participated he gave those
who were under pledge TO their con-
stituents to oppose the bin because Of
local interests, an opportunity to 90 so
without stuitifying their conseiences or
being Iuade liable TO the charge Of party
disloyalty. The result was that all save
eight Democrats who represent districts
where sugar is produced voted for the
bill, and the minority presented a pha-
lanx in favor Of the measure as solid as
did the Republicans.
To the management of Mr.. Williams
is also attributed the failure Of the Dem

No FavOrs to Offer.

AR Williams control is all the more
remarkable because Of the fact that he
has no committeeships to confer upon
his associates. and nothing with which
TO reward them for their loyalty to him.
He is not in a position TO drive them if
he would. but draws them to his sup
port by the force and logic of the posi-
ton which he assumes.
Altogether, the leadership Of Mr. VIII
liams has given the members of his par,
ty hope that it may some day be re-
united. At present there is among the
Democrats of the House a greater de-
gree OF harmony and inclination toward
cooperative action than there has been
before for many years.

Thus far he has kept the Democrats
from introducing resolutions and talk
ing upon the subject. He is waiting for
developments. and wants to make sure
that the party is not injured or handi-
capped by any premature expression or
declaration.
When the proper time comes it is quite
probable that Mr.. Williams will see 10
it that criticism is passed upon the ac-
ton of the President for his haste IN
recognizing the Panama republic and tho
alleged high-handed methods he has
taken, but 1t is not likely that he Will
