MANY AMENDMENTS ARE OFFERED

DEMOCRATS SUPPORT THE MEASURE
Adverse Vote Consists of Fifty-seven
Republicans and Fourteen DEM

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The Philippine
tariff bill was passed by the house today
substantially as II came from the ways
and means nommittee. The vote was @5S
10 u. Rice was made subject to the same
taIiff as sugar and tobaeco-3 per cent of
the Dingley rates-and one or two changes
were made as to language. Fifty-seven
republicans and fourteen democrats voted
against the bill on its final passage
This result was attained after decidedly
the most strenuous day of the present con-
gress.
The many amendments which were
launched and went to pieces in the storm
OF debate and against the rock which the
house rules constituted, left much legis-
lative wreekage and many records only
useful for future political purposes.
Republican opposition to the bin in the
interest OF American beet and cane sugar
and tobacco tried out its strength early
and gave up. This opposition refused tc
anilate with democratic efforts. The
strongest plea for ''insurgent" support was
made in behalf of Champ Clark's amend
ment reducing the differential on refined
sugar. The minority sought to duplicate
the house record made on the Cuban reel
procity act, but they reckoned without
their host today. as not a republican oppo
nent TO this measure stood with them tC
overrule the decision of the chair. Th'
democratic substitute met with only tn,
support Of the minority and went dow
under vote of 231 to 10e. On the fina
passage OF the bill the insurgents" de
manded a roll call that their record Nigh
be preserved.
The bill admits goods the growth or prod
