LONG LEAD
TacOman Has Most Votes in
 Senatorial Race

Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.
 Olympia, Wash, Jan. lS-Senator Foster has long lead in the voting for United States senator in the Washing ton state legislature. The first ballot was taken at noon yesterday and it stood as follows;
 A. G. Foster, 43; s, H. Piles, 32; Charles Sweeney, 27; John L. Wilson, 15; scattering, F; democrats, g.
 A notable feature of the contest was the raid made upon the strength of Piles, Seattle's candidate, by Wilson, who has an agreement which provides that he will fall heir to the support of Piles after it shall become apparent that the latter cannot be elected, It was generally understood that the Piles vote, referred to in the agreement, had reference to the vote of King and Kit sap counties, but Wilson secured part of the vote of the latter county. Since the ballot Piles and Wilson are not on speaking terms.
 There was much time wasted in mak- ing nominating and seconding speeches.

THE PHILIPPINE TARIFF.
Domestic Sugar and Tobacco Not
Nenaced bu Proposed Reduction.

washington, Dec 2-The favorable report OF
the Ways and Means Committee of the House on
the Payne Philippine Tariff bill. which formal
" presented to the House to-day, says that the
hearings recently held brought to light new facts
which were not presented to the committee at the
last session. The most important testimony, the
report says that which showed higher cost
in the production of Philippine sugar than was
shown last year. At present the cost OF raw sugar
delivered at uoilo or Manila is at least one ana
one-half cents a pound not considering the depre-
of sugar machinery the interest on money
invested The insurance and freight are $40 of a
cent a pound, and the duties and cost of refining
bring the total cost up 3 $40 cents pound in
Nev-York for refined sugar. The report states
that the cost of refined beet is said to be Sa
cents a pound in Colorado and cents pound IN
Michigan and that therefore the cost OF Phllp-
nine sugar is not much lower as opponents OF
tariff reduction have stated -. ,.t r,.
Mention is made of the slight opposltlon py

DISCUSS RATE QUESTION.
Senators Foraker and CuLberson an
q Controversy.

Washington, Dec 2O.-The only notable feat
ure of the open session of the Senate to-day was
a brief discussion of the question Of railroad
rate legislation by Messrs. Foraker and Culber-
son.
Mr. Foraker asked and obtained leave to have
the record printed in number of cases recently
before the Interstate Commerce Commission in
volving charges OF discrimination in beef ship
ments. He said that after taking cognizance of
the cases the commission had not reached its
conclusion for almost three years, whereas the
United States Court for the Northern District of
Illinois had taken the matter up and reached
final decision within five six months The
question had been introduced. he said, for the
purpose of showing that existing law affords
remedy for many of the evils of which complaint
Is made and also to show that there is greater
ce,eritv in the courts than in the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The court had, he SAID
reversed the finding of the commission and he
said that If the commissions decision had gone
into Immediate effect the railroad company
vyould have suffered a wrongful loss OF SZe-
100000.
Mr. CuIberson called attention to the recent
speech of Mr. Foraker, in which the latter had
said that since the Elkns law had gone INTO
effac+ rebates had practically ceased. Mr.. Cul-
berson said that there had been recent inolc'
noents of railroad officials at Philadelphia anu
Chicago for taking rebates he uIueis 1oou 1iSo
that Mr.. Foraker had opposed all further Iegis-
lation. -
Mr.. Foraker asserted that he had not said
there were no longer rebates, but that he hao
said that there was ample law for the punish
ment of the taking of rebates. and he believed
that if the Attorney General would enforce the
law as he is beginning to do, the practice could
be stopped .
''I take it that Congress does not want to
legislate unless necessary" he said, and added
that all that is necessary is to strengthen the
law by amendment. at have all the time advo-
Gated legislation" he said, and the only differ
ence between and other Senators Is as TO
the remedies TO be applied" In the course OF
his remarks, Mr.. Foraker referred to the fact
that Mr.. CuIberson had given his views on his
(Afr Foraker's) bill, and said he had been aston
ished to observe that many Senators were
using the newspapers are vehicles for their
views on constitutional subjects, but ne dis
claimed any intention to reflect on Mr. Culoer-
son by his remark.
Mr.. Hale brought the discussion to an end by
calling for the regular order.

Washington, Dec. DETERMINATIONS by the
Senate of the nominations of members Of the
Isthmian Canal Commission were reconsidered
to-day in executive session, and a motion was
adopted calling on the President for the return
Of the notification of the Senates previous ac-
ton When this mas been done the nominations
will again be referred to the Interoceanic Canal
Committee for consideration.
Before the decision reached TO reconsider
the vote charges of 'railroading'' nominations
were made by several minority Senators. and
counter-charges that the protestants were pro-
ceeding in manner not prescribed by the rules
of the Senate made by Republicans. The
discussion developed the fact that there mad
been poll of the Canal Committee on the
nominations in question and as result ob1ec-
ton to reconsideration was withdrawn. 1t Is gen
orally understood that the purpose or minority
Senators in asking to have the nominations re-
turned is to permit a protest against Chairman
Theodore P Shonts holding a place the COM
mission and the presidency of the Clover Lear
Railroad at the same time.
The controversy in the Senate resulted from
q motion to take the nomination Of j. b
Bishop as q member Of the commission, which
was sent in to-day. Objection was made, and
Senator Morgan followed this by moving to re-
consider the action of the Senate in confirming
