EXCEEDED IT'S RIGHTS
SENATE'S BOND BILL RETURNED
BY THE HOUSE.

The House and Senate are in an interest
ing snarl over the Panama bond bill The
House has risen upon its dignity, and as
serted its rights and privileges in most en-
phatio manner while the Senate insists
that the point raised by the House is
merely technical. and Is not inclined to do
anything at this time to change conditions.
The Senate yesterday passed bill placing
the Panama canal bonds upon the same ba-
sis for taxation as other government per
cent bonds. Originally that provision was
In the Panama appropriation bill passed by
the House, but the Senate committee on
appropriations struck out the clause and
sent 1t over to the finance committee to be
Incorporated In q second bill
When the finance committees bill, which
passed the Senate yesterday, came over to
the House this morning Floor Leader Payne
objected to its reception, and presented a
resolution directing that the bill be sent
back to the Senate, as in contravention of
the Constitution and an infringement of the
privileges of the House. For once the DEM
ocrats and republicans were united against
O. common foe-the United States Senate.
Minority Leader Williams made a speech
sustaining the position taken by the republi-
can leader and said the bill was clearly
violation of the constitutional rights of the
House.
In order TO emphasize the protest Floor
Leader Payne asked that the vote on the
bill should be rising vote. The yeas.
were called for. and every man In the House
stood to his seat. The nays were called for,
and there was not response. The resoiu-
ton was unanimously adopted
News of this action Immediately reached
the Senate. but did not cause much excite
ment Senators thought that the attitude
OF the House was one of splitting hairs over
a technicality. It would be competent, of
course, to restore the item as II came from
the House TO the appropriation bill, but It
is not certain that that wifi be done without
some caustic debate in the Senate.

AGAINSTLOWER DUTIES
CUT IN TARIFF ON PH1LIPPTNE
SUGAR OPPOSED.

w. S. Humphrey, beet sugar manufac-
tui'er of Saginaw. Mich, resumed his argu-
ment against a reduction of the Philippine
tariff today before the ways and means
committee of the House. He predicted that
under free trade. or with greatly reduced
tariff on Philippine sugar imported into the
United States. the acreage of cane would
greatly increase.
Mr.. Humphrey said the islands would pro-
duce 100000 tons. or more than the an
nual consumption OF the United States. He
claimed that under the terms of the Brus-
seis agreement every pound of sugar eX-
ported from the Philippines will be forced
into the United States because of preferen-
tial treatment of the Philippine sugar by
the United States in case of the reduction
or removal of tax on sugar from the is
lands.
Representatives Payne and Hill asked Mr..
Humphrey If the Philippine sugar, three
fourths of which has been going to China
and Japan, could not still go there IN spite
of tariff changes, China and Japan are
not parties to the Brussels agreement.
Mr.. Humphrey replied that most OF the
