Proposed Free Admission Of Products
of the Philinpines

The Senate committee on the Philippines
today authorized a favorable report on the
Philippine tariff bill, which recently passed
the House, but with important amendments.
The House bill carried uniform reduction
of the tariff on Philippine goods imported
into the United States, making the rate
only Is per cent of the rates imposed by the
Dingley law. The Senate committee
amended the bill so as to provide for the
admission Of all Philippine produced articles
free of duty, except sugar and tobacco, and
on these two commodities fixed the tariff at
80 per cent of the Dingley schedules. This
change was made to meet the objections of
the sugar and tobacco producers Of this
country, who have claimed that a duty rate
of only 25 per cent on those articles would
result in ruinous competition.
The committee also decided to recommend
an amendment to the bill admitting into the
Philippine Islands all material used in the
construction and equipment of steam and
electric railroads free, of duty for the next
five years. Such free admission is to be at
the discretion of the Philippine commission.

CONFER WITH GEN. coRB1N.
Committee From the Army and Navy
Union.

Pursuant to an order from the Secretary
of War a conference was held this morning
between Adjutant General Corbin, U. s. A.,
ard the acting president Of the board of
commissioners of the United States Sol
diers' Home at Washington, and a commit
tee of three representatives from the Army
and Navy Union. The purpose of the meet
ing was to discuss matters concerning sold
diers honorably discharged for ability
contracted in the line Of duty, and who are
entitled to admission to the home.
The committee from the Army and Navy
Union presented to Gen. Corbin a number
of requests in writing, the granting of
which is calculated to work to the benefit
of the inmates Of the home and all persons
entitled to its privileges. One of the petit
tons asked for the granting of outdoor re-
lief to all inmates of the institution who
do not wish to remain in the home but
prefer to live on the outside.
Another request made by the committee
was to the effect that all honorably dis
charged soldiers from the regular army be
given preference in the various employ
ments at the home in case the applicant be
capable Of performing the duties of the
position.
These requests. which were submitted to

CONTRACTS FOR NEW CRUISERS
The Attorney General May Be Asked
for an Onininn

There is more than the usual interest die
played in the prospective action of secre-
tary Moody in the matter Of the award Of
contracts for the construction of the ar
mored cruisers Tennessee and washington.
The board Of naval construction recon-
mended that the work be given to Cramp
q Sons Of Philadelphia. Protests against
such action have been filed at the NAVY
Department by the New York Ship Building
Company and the Union Iron Works of San
Francisco.
Owing to the Importance of the principles
involved, the matter has been the subject Of
several conferences between the President
and the Secretary Of the Navy, with the re-
suit that the papers have been returned to
the board of naval construction for recon-
sideration with special reference to the
regularity of the so-caled substitute offer
or the Cramps, the acceptance,of which had
been originally recommended by the board
In view of the possibility OF legal complica-
tions 1t is probable that the Attorney Cen
eral will be asked to give an opinion as to
the legal rights of the various competitors.
Mr.. Henry a. Morse, president of the New
York Ship Building Company, and Mr.. Will
liam Cramp of the Philadelphia company
had separate conferences with Secretary
Moody on the subject yesterday. 1t is pos
slble that the work will be divided between
the two conteSting firNs.

LOCAL LEGISLATION.
Action Taken by the House District
Committee,

Owing to the exhaustive character Of the
report which Chairman Babcock of the
House District committee Is preparing on
the bill providing a ten-million-dollar loan
from the federal treasury to the District.
the bill will not be called up for consid
Grafton Monday, District day in the House.
This announcement was made this morn
ing at the regular meeting of the District
committee. The report on the bill will set
forth the state of the District finances and
improvements in detail for a considerable
period, and Mr.. Babcock believes that this
showing will be an argument which will he
practically unanswerable by the opponents
of the measure.
Two bills were ordered favorably reported
at the meeting of the committee this morn
ing, one, House bill 1899 which confirms
the name Seward Square instead Of
Seward place. to the square formed by
the intersection Of c street south and
Pennsylvania and North Carolina avenues.
The other bill was a Senate bill extinguish-
Ing part Of an alley in square 1S9. with an
amendment providing that the alley to be
abandoned should not revert to 1.-The orig
1nal owner" as'provided in the Senate bill,
but to simply vacate the alley.
The bill providing for the issuance Of a
tax certificate by the tax collector for q fee
of 81, which shall be a bar to litigation on
the part Of the District to the collection of
back taxes which may have been overlook
ed by the tax Office, received the adverse
action OF the committee.

TO SEIZE COAL MINES.
Resolution for Government Ownership
Offered in Miners Convention.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, January 22.-After
President Mitchell had opened the miners
convention today the credentials committee
seated practically all Of the delegates Then
there came a clash between the conserva-
tive and socialistic factions. 1t originated
in a resolution from local union favoring
an expression of government ownership OF
coal mines and railroads.
A motion on the part Of the conservatives
to table 1t brought on a long discussion,
and many leaders Of the two factions were
heard.
The socialistic faction based their argu-
ments the anthracite strike and the
combination Of coal companies and rail-
roads, and that tendency not to treat with
miners according to the laws Of man or
Cod made it necessary for the govern
ment to take some such action.
Delegate Walker Of Illinois said that the
coal companies and railroads were now In a
combination injurious to the interests Of
the people, and were holding back coal to
boost prices
Delegate Lusk of West Virginia also
charged heartless attitude of coal operators
and railroads to not only the miners but
to the people. The controversy was re-
ferred eventually back to the committee.

ence was composed of Michael j. Hackett,
inspector general of the union: James Nc
.Chesney, inspector Of Garrison No. 26, and

tive council. The members Of the commit
tee expressed themselves as well pleased

quests by Gen. Corbin, and they anticipate

the only military organization which has
for special object the protection Of the
rights of the honorably discharged soldiers
in the service.
