his followers bring in a bill declaring for a D per cent reduction of the Dingley rates, which Is satisfactory to the Ell pnos, the President and the democratic party, though, the latter, in minority report. say there should be free trade between the islands and the United States Leader Payne, in his report does. however, make some significant admls- sions. He says:
 'The only logical result from our pos session of the Philippine islands is free trade between the islands and the Unit e. States" Then Mr. Payne proceeds to split straws and says at the present time there should be a tariff of 20 per cent levied. It seems to be the opinion that the republicans did not bring in free trade bill largely through pique. On the first day of the session John sharp Williams introduced 6 free trade bill and the republicans in this case feared to steal the democratic thunder probably to the disguest of the President and the Secretary of War. In the minority re- port today the democratic members say: We believe that the anomalous and preposterous status of the Philippine is- lands-by which they are treated as American territory for certain purposes and foreign or semi-foreign territory for other purposes-cannot be long maintain ed At present, according to the whim of Congress or the executive, they are considered as American or foreign or as both American and foreign, or as neither American nor foreign.
 'In justice to the Filipinos and our selvcs they should be considered as al- to gether American or altogether foreign. So long as we retain them we favor the establishment and maintenance of free trade betwixt them and the United States

slan st senator-EIect.

La Follettes friends Tn Washington say the appointment of Senator Quarles to one of the Wisconsin district judge ships is a direct slap at the Senator elect, who was not consulted by the President, but sees a bitter personal enemy rewarded. The Quarles appoint ment was kept nicely concealed. Re- ports were circulated that a brother of Senator Quarles was to get the place, and when the appointment came in there was big surprise for the Wisconsin politicians. The President and Senator elect La Toilette will not fall out over the matter. They have too much in com mon on the railroad question to quarrel over appointments.

St. Petersburg, March 1.-The text of the imperial manifesto published by the official Messenger today calling on the country to rally around the throne in defense of the empire against internal enemies is as follows:
 An inscrutible providence has been pleased to visit our fatherland with heavy trials. A bloody war in the far east involving the honor of Russia, and the command of the waters of the Pa cific ocean so urgently necessary to the consolidation of the peaceful prosperity not only of our own, but of other Chris tian nations throughout the ages has imposed that great strain on the strength of the Russian people and mas swallowed up many dear victims near to our heart

 Taft Calls on President.
NOT A PARTY OF PROGRESS

Washington, March 8. Specially Congress has done nothing but pass the regular appropriation bills,' said Representative John Sharp Williams, the democratic leader tonight. Congress should never have revised the tariff, es- peeially the steel schedule, such as struc- tural steel and the agricultural imple- ments. It ought to nave passed some legislation to have curbed the trusts more closely than they seem to be, for 1t has been shown that even when we win a law suit against them, and even bring to bear the powerful machinery of the injunction as 1t was In the case of the beef trust the trust continues to do that which 1t has marked out and pays no attention whatever to the government.
 Tt should have admitted the new states and should have kept faith at any rate, with Arizona, by net attempting to put her in with New Mexico, over the protest of the people of both terri tories. Even if Congress should not agree on that, it ought to have admitted Okla homa and the Indian Territory. Congress has made no progress in line. witE tine boasted presidential policies of making easier opportunities for arbitration in case of quarrels with foreign nations.
 But 1t increased the war expenditures under the pretext of being prepared for some war which nobody expects, ai- though holding in abeyance needed ap- propriations for internal Improvements.
 Abandon Monroe Doctrine.
 "The truth Is the republican party has ceased to be a party of progress and affirmation, and is dong its best to re- main, notwithstanding the restiveness of the President, dancing on the same spot, without going forward or sideways, ex- cept in one respect. It has progressed away from the Monroe doctrine, toward the new and startling Roosevelt doctrine, peculiarly Illustrated in the recent exec utive dealings with San Domingo. Whether the Senate will follow the President and make public declaration to the world that our army and navy are international constables for the col- lection of debts due to American and European spectators remains to be seen."

Disturbances at Home.

"While the glorious sons of Russia are fighting with self-saerifieing bravery, riskng their lives for their faith, for their Emperor and for their country, disturb ances have broken out in our land to the joy of our enemies and our own deep sorrow. Blinded by pride the evil-minded leaders of a revolutionary movement make insolent attacks on the holy ortho- dox church and the lawfully established pillars of the Russian state thinking that by severing the natural connection with the past they will destroy the existing or der of state and set up in its place new administration on a foundation un- suitable to our fatherland. The outrage on the Grand Duke Sergius. who ardently loved the first capital of the empire and who met his end amidst the sacred monu- ments of the Kremlin, deeply shocks the national feeling of every one to whom the honor. of the Russian name and renown and his home are dear.
 I've humbly bear the trials sent us by providence and derive strength and consolation from our firm trust in which God has always shown to the Russian power and from. the immemorial devo- tion which we know our loyal people entertain for the throne.
