NTarrfage Not a Safeguard.

Within the limits of Greater New York
during the past year there were SIC
suicides. More than one person in every
1000 of the city's population committed
self-murder.
Disease, poverty, alcoholism, passion,
pain, disappointed love and dependency
each contributed a quota to the horrify
ing total.
1t is proved by the suicide statistic of
the past year that to a certain extent
marriage is by no means a safeguard
against self-killing and that divorce is
especially productive of it.

NEWRATE BTLLTROUBLE
Suggestion That House May Refuse
Senate amendments.
CFrom The Tribune Bureau)

Washington. Jan 26.-The unanimous agree
ment of the House Committee on Interstate ana
Foreign Commerce on the Hepburn bill has led
to the suggestion that the House may pass a
railroad rate bill by unanimous vote ana then
decline to accept any amendments to the meas
ure which may be made in the Senate. Ihere Is
a strong suspicion. however, that this sugges-
ton emanates from those who at heart would
welcome a deadlock which would prevent any
rate legislation whatever. rather than from those
who are sincere in their desire to see remedial
legislation along the line of the Presidents rec
concentrations adopted
It is, of course. entirely possible. II not prob
able, that the radical wing of the Democracy I'm
the House will itself attend to upsetting this
programme for the radical faction is anxious
to father legislation far more drastic than any
thing for which the majority in the lower cham
Der is prepared to make itself responsible. But
even should the Democratic leader Mr.. Will
Jams, prove able to control his somewhat frac-
tious followers, and even should a rate bill pass
the House by a unanimous vote, IT would prove
far from wise TO tell the Senate in advance that
any amendments it might adopt would be re-
jected. This fact is fully appreciated by the
Republican leaders in the House, who are en-
tirely sincere in their desire to see effective and
consistent legislation enacted.
As has already been told in these dispatches,
there is a Republican majority in the Senate ia
vorabIe to just and adequate railway rate legis-
Iatlon, and while the upper chamber is certain
to move more slowly and with greater caution
than the House. the outcome promises to be all
that the President or any other advocate or his
policy could desire.
This does not mean, of course that the SEN
ate will accept the Hepburn bill without chang
ing a comma a period, but II is a case of "a
rose by any other name" with the President and
with all sincere advocates Of this needed reform
and If the Senate strengthen the Hepburn
measure or If IT passes a bill which would &C
cOmplsh the desired end, although by differ
ent method the Republican leaders in both
houses are pretty certain to regard the end at
tanned rather than the method, and to seek by
amicabe means to adjust any differences which
may exist between the two houses in conference

SENATOR'S HEAR WRIGHT
Governor General Tells Of LsuIar
Trade Conditions.

Washington, Jan. Ex-Governor General Wright
testified to-day before the Senate committee hav-
ing charge of the pending Philippine Tariff bill. He
talked at length concerning Industrial conditions in
the islands and answered many pertinent ques-
tons.
Senator Burrows brought out the fact that hemp
is the CHIEF export product of the islands, and
that great deal of coffee IS grown. He asked
Governor Wright why the Philippine Commission
had not directed its labOrs TO educating the Fill
pinos 10 extend the raising OF crops which would
not enter into competition with American products.
Governor Wright responded that these crops are
raised on hillside land, and that the natives are
cOngested near the sea- where the lana IS NJ only
for tobacco, sugar, rice, coCOanutS ana similar
products. He said that TO DO what the Senator had
suggested would require a Teadjustment Of the
ChgSSbOaVd." The Governor added, however,
that hemp raising IS being developed rapidly.
Senator Brandegee took a decided interest IN the
tobacco crop of the islands ana asked many ques-
tons concerning IL. Governor Wright said that he
did not believe the Philippines would ever produce
grade Of tobacco eQuallng the Cuban product.
10 this country, but that the opening Of this mar
ket would stimulate growth and raise the price
the manufacturers would prefer not to have free
trade with the United States, as they had already
built up a market and under present conditions
could control prices.
Senator Culberson asked why the United States
should not have free trade with the islands alto
gether, and why % per cent Of the Dngley rates
years II explained by Governor Wright that
under the treaty with Spain that country would
occupy the same relations 10 the Philippines for
three years this country, and that under the
mean general free trade with the Philippines. He
said that free trade would come finally between
probably then the revenues for the islands would
depend on internal taxation
