PHILIPPINE
BILL AMENDED
Changes in the Rice and Leaf
Schedules
-------------
WILL INSURE REPORT
------------~--
Averts Competition With the Chinese
Secretary Taft Does Not Serious
ly Object to Either
Change.
WILL INSURE REPORT

Washington, Feb. 16.--Two amend.
ments have been made by tho Senate
committee to the Philippine tariff bill,
which doubtless insurcs its favorable re.
port from committees. These relate to
rice and sumatra leaf, and show the
curious ramifcatious Of colonial tariff
making
II was shown before the committee
that the bill, as ii stands, admitting rice
grown in the Philippines Islands at %
per cent OF the Dingley rates, would, in
almost all normal seasons, have this
result: The Fiiipiuos would ship their
rice to the United States, buying for
their own consumption the cheap rice
OF China, so that in effect our rice pro-
ducers would be forced into competition
WILL the Chinese Nor IL this problem
easy Of settlement since in certain seat
sons the rice crop fails in the Philippines
and the people need Chinese importation.
II has been decided accordingly to levy
upon rice going into the Philippines from
China tariff cqualling in normal sea-
sons tile Dingley tariff on rice coming
intO bHE LAlbGtl HANiiktrr DNt ~ 4 SllhlhH
scale arrangement to be interpreted by
the Philippine commission TO provide for
remission in the case the rice Is econom-
ieally needed in the archipelago.
The Sumatra leaf situation will be
handled in much the same way; the Phil
ippines Islands will impose tax upon
this tobacco, equalling that which Amer
lean cigar makers have to pay. Many
persons regard this an imaginary danger.
but since the tobacco interest wants IL,
the administration leaders are willing
to make the concession. Secretary TAFT
has no objection To either change.
The hearings on this bills before the
Senate committee have been regarded as
significant in that Senator Lodge was
short Of votes with which to report it,
and his announcement that the hearings
are to be ended this week is correspond.
ingiy taken as evidence that the bill
can now be reported. The trouble with
the opposition comes in the difficulty in
getting Democrats TO vote to increase
tariffs over figures made by Republican
House.

SHIPPING BILL MAY DIE.
The House May Not Give to 1t Any
Consideration.

Washington. Feb. 16.--Fiye Republi-
can senators have gone on record against
the moderate and intelligent subyention
bill which the merchant marine commits
sion had with 50 much labor prepared,
as against six Republican opponents to
the Hanna Payne bill of a few years
igo, to which much more serious OBJ
'ection coul be urged No Democratic
support was secured for the bill, 10
spite of the large share which the gulf
ports have in the new lines II was pro.
posed To create. Two senators from
each OF the three states Of Wisconsin.
Iowa and Vermont opposed the bill be.
fore; Of these Spooner and Deliver alone
remained in opposition Wednesday.
Quarles has been succeeded by Mr. La
Toilette, who joined his colleague Wed-
nesday in what was La foIette's first
significant move in the Senate La Fol-
lette has wide personal influence among
Republicans of the more radical stripe.
and his vote against the subsidy is in
many ways significant. Rurkett, the
new senator from Nebraska, and Warner
Of Missouri, were the other Republicans
who went into the open with their op.
position.
Less Significance has attached to this
vote by reason Of the popul1r expecta-
tion that the bill viii not be allowed
to come up in The House at this session.
II should be noted that the action of
the Senate, however, is good" until
March 4, 1907, in case at either this
session or the next the House sees ct
to do its part, since under the rules of
the House, where time in no object
a short session may be Just as effec-
tive as long one. This bill would
pass in the House with its Republican
majority Of 112 were it allowed to 60
TO roll call. Great pressure will be
brought to bear upon Speaker Cannon
from this time forth. He could not stand
out against II, did he not feel a strong
Western sentiment with him, such as
that which showed itself in the Seate
vote. This sentiment will doubtless con
troll corresponding number Of Western
Republican members.

D. F. DAVIS NEW DEPARTURE.

After two months OF remarkable sales,
ID. L. Davis, the enterprisiHg druggist,
says that his plan OF selling at half
price the regular jo-cent size Of Dr. How
ard's specific for the cure Of constipa-
tion and dyspepsia, and guaranteeing TO
refund the money il it does not cure,
has been the greatest success he has ever
known.
He has sold hundreds of bottles of the
specific and as yet has not had one
returned, although he stands, ready at
any time to refund the money should
any customer be dissatisfied. This is
the strongest testimony that can be
furnished TO the great merit Of this med
icine.
Anyone suffering with dyspepsia, con
stipation, liver troubles, headaches, diz.
illness, coated tongue, or the general
tired feeling, caused by inactive liver
and bowels or disordered digestion,
should take advantage Of MIR. Davis
rev departure and buy a bottle OF DR..
EIoward's specific at half price, with
his personal guarantee to refund the
money If II does not cure.

LOStOS, May it-Sir Edward Orey. the
Foreign secretary. announced In the Hous'
of Commons to-day that the Government
~ Turkey had Informed Sir Nicholas
O'Conor. the British Ambassador at Con-
stantinopls. that Tabah and all placee In
the neighborhood occupied by Turkish
troops would he evacuated.
Sir Edward said that n note had been re-
ceived stating that the Porte did not question
the telegram of April Z. isO2. the basis Of
the British contention. and proposed that q
joint commission be appointed 70 make q
typographical survey and q map with a
view Of fixing the boundary 10 rs TO main
tain the status quo on the basis Of that tele-
gram. The boundary would run from
Rafsh In n s~outheasteriy direction TO a point
not less than three miles from Ahabah.
The Government, Sir Edward said. had
accepted that reply to a note they had sent,
and there was every reason TO hope that a
completely satisfactory settlement Of the
details would be arrived at.
A desI atch TO the 7 mes from Constauti-
nople. dated May l? and delayed in rams
mission, SAYS that the French Ambassador,
NJ. C~ons.anS, did not ask an audience OF the
Sultan on the p~feviousday in spite OF rumors
that he intended to do so in order to
support the British claims as to the Sinai
peninsula. He had twice already made
representations on the subject, once to the
Grand Vizier on his own init tive and oEce
10 the Foreign Minister on instructions from
the French Government. On the second
occasion lie told Tewfk Pasha to inform the
Sultan that he had been instructed to join
Sir Nicholas O'Conor in his protest against
the occupation Of Tab1h.
His example was followed by the Rus
sian Ambassador, whose support OF the
British claims has made a great Impression
In Turkish circles. Anglo Russian Coz
operation In Near Eastern affairs ID a thing
which no Turk is able to view with equa-
nimity.
The action OF Ambassador 0'Conor in In
sisting that all negotiations should be con-
Quoted through responsible Ministers Is
warmly approved on all sides, 1t is believed
that II other Ambassadors took the same
course and refused to discuss politi cal
affairs with irresponsible agents of the
palace it would be of the greltest benefit
to everybody concerned.
