LOWER PHILIPPINE DUTIES.
The Project Opposed by congressman from
Sugar and Tobacco States.

Washington, Nov. 28.-For some time the
President has been discussing informally with
members of Congress the proposition TO reduce
the duties on Philippine products coming into
this country to 80 per cent of the Dingley law
rates Considerable opposition has developed
to the suggestion and what the result of the
endeavor to secure a reduction Of the duties
will be cannot be foretold. The opposition
arises principally from Congressman repre-
senting sugar and tobacco States. They main
tain that If only 30 per cent Of the Dingley
rates OF duty levied on sugar and tobacco
the industries represented by those products
in this country will be seriously injured. They
have indicated to the President that they will
make hard fight against the proposed reduc-
ton. II is understood that the President may
discuss the subject in his annual message to
Congress, but his position regarding it has
not been disclosed.

Representative in Congress Of the With New
Jersey District. serving his first term in the
national legislature has introduced two bills of
some popular interest. One provides for pension
ing the locomotive engineers Of the Union army

include iremen and other trainmen exposed to
peril from sharpshooters dynamite, etc This
ure If enacted, would give great relief TO men
very useful the cause in the days that tried

The interest IN the BILL" says Mr.. Wiley, lis in
creasng I refer all propositions for including
others besides those mentioned in the measure to

number Of such inclusions are proposed One is TO
extend relief 10 the twenty-five or thirty armored
liyhtship men, now living. who were a part Of the
