PHILIPPINE TARIFF BILL DEAD
All EN- rts TO Erect q Compromise Have
Proved UnayaIling.

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The Philippine
tariff bill is apparently dead. for this session
Of Congress at least, Strong efforts made
by the Administration to effect a compromise
by which the bill would be passed have
proved unavailing, although the admins
tration people were willing to make almost
any concession In order to get the measure
through. The bill was passed by the House.
but the Senate Committee on the Philippines
declined to report it favorably, adversely or
any other way.
Since the rate bill was disposed Of in the
Senate, the Senate leaders have been sound
ing their associates with a view to secur-
ing an agreement by which the measure
could be amended In a manner that would
he satisfactory 10 the opposition. These
efforts have proved futile, and the leaders
are unwilling to have the bill brought be-
fore the Senate until they are assured that
it will pass. for the reason that its con-
sideration is likely. t. precipitate a dis
cussion of the tariff and perhaps pave the
way to al attempt to get some tariff legis-
lation at this session.

ALBANY, May 24y--State Forest and Game
Commissioner James s. Whipple is out
with q circular notifying all concerned that
he intends to see to It that the laws OF this
State against the possession or selling for
dress or ornament Of all parts Of the bodies
or feathers of wild birds is enforced.
The circular issued by the Commissioner
to-day is directed more to the dealers in
birds feathers. They are warned that they
can avoid possible trouble by removing all
such feathers from sale and refusing to deal
In them hereafter. Stocks on hand the Com
missioner says, should be returned by the
dealer to the wholesaler. The law as shown
or parts Of birds, whether the birds were
taken in this State or elsewhere. The cir
cular reads as follows:
I beg TO call your attention TO our State
laws covering the possession or selling, for
the purpose OF dress or ornament, the body or
feathers Of wild birds, whether taken In this
Commonwealth or elsewhere. This law covers
the skins and feathers or parts thereof, espe-
cially Of insectivorous birds. herons taigrettes),
gulls, terms, song birds. &o., whenever AID
wherever taken.
We respectfully suggest that you can best
observe the spirit and letter Of the law by re-
moving from sale all such feathers and return
them TO the wholesalers: and. further. by re-
fusihg to buy or sell such feathers. aigrettes.
&c. Certain dealers are claiming that the
bird laws are not to be enforced, or that their
particular goods. notably aigrettes. are
manufactured, and therefore not prohibited
by this law. In case such statements are
made, ! will be glad to give ar opinion as to
whether any particular feathers come within
the scope OF the law. and whether such are
liable to seizure. and the possessor liable to
arrest.
The penalty for the violation OF the law
regarding the selling or possession Of parts
Of the bodies of birds or feathers OF the
same is $50 for each offence and an additional
$25 for each bird or part sold. offered for sale
or nORaASaAd.

THE GAEkWAR SEES REPORTERS.
Expresses Great Admiration OF the Ameri-
can Press and Also Of Washington.

EXpF eeses GfSAt AdmifbuOn OF tne AmeFt'
Press and Also Of Washington.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-The Gaekwar Of
Baroda, by appointment, to-day received
a delegation Of Washington newspaper
correspondents. The interview lasted
about eight minutes. His Highness ex-
pressed great admiration for the American
press and wanted to know something about
the collection and dissemination Of news,
He was told and the telling consumed about
six minutes Of the time, When the story
was completed the Prince raised his arms
and in the most unaffected way exclaimed:
sAhl It Is marvellous; IL Is no wonder that
your people are well informed
During the remaining two minutes the
Gaekwar was able to say something about
his impressions Of the country n par
ticularly OF Washington. He likes Wash
ington and wants TO return to the city at
some future day. He is as enthusiastic
over the capital as the constituents OF a
rural Congressman making their first visit
to Washington. He likes the broad streets
shaded avenues the parks, and above all
the cleanliness OF the city appealed to him.
so he told his interviewers.
The stately capltol-C Congress house as
he referred to it-also moved the Prince
to admiration. He was there yesterday
and occupied a sest In the diplomatic gal
lervuof the House while John Sharp Williams
was making a few additional remarks upon
the comparative cost Of wire nails, tin plate
and other commodities under the Wilson
tariff and the Dingley law. tn Prince
was deeply Interested and expressed the
opinion that John Sharp must be a great
man and a powerful orator, but he added
by way Of qualification that while he was
able TO understand his words he was not able
to comprehend his meaning.
THAT il because said his Highness,
Il am not familiar with your tariffs and
your other institutions. I should like to
learn much about them
He was informed that no one except q
s~standpatter" knew all about the tariff
and the Princes evident ignorance OF the
term promised TO call for too long an ex-
interview, so the subject was changed and
the more congenial topic Of agriculture
wae preached.
The Gaekwar said that he intended TO
have some OF his subjects come over to
America and make some study Of the scien-
tifo farming as taught by Secretary Wilson
and his assistants. he also intends to send
over some officials TO examine our fish
hatcheries, with the idea Of eating.

and OF learning our methods OF fish culture,

thing about his visit TO the White House

FREE ALCOHOL BILL PASSED.
Senate Extends the Time when II Is 10 Go
Into Eject TO IAN. 4. 1909.

t''D
WASHINGTON, May ?4.-The free alcohol
bill was passed to-day by the Senate with
ont division, The Senate postponed the
time when the law Is to go into effect to
January /, 1907.
When the Senate took up the bill Mr..
McCumber CRep., n. d. moved to amend
by restoring the date when the law shall go
into effect as it was in the House, three
months after the passage OF the act, instead
OF January next
Mr.. Aldrich, chairman Of the Finance
Committee which reported the bill explained
that the committee extended the time to
january /, 1907, from two considerations, first
and principally because the Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue recommended 1t as
necessary to prepare for enforcing the law,
and secondly, out of consideration OF the
wood alcohol men, who asserted that they
had a supply on hand that would be value
less if the law went into effect at once.
The bill provides that after january 1
next, domestic alcohol Of such degree Of
missioner Of Internal Revenue may be
withdrawn from bond without payment of
internal revenue tax for use in the arts
and Industries and for fuel, light and power;
provided said alcohol shah have been
mixed in the presence and under the direc-
ton OF an authorized Government officer.
with denaturizing material, which destroys
its character as a beverage and renders it
unfit for liquid medicinal purposes. The
law requires the keeping Of books subject
to the regulations of the internal revenue
bureau. Penalties are prescribed for per-
! sons who withdraw alcohol or use 1t after its
having been 30 withdrawn and conceal it
to avoid the process Of denaturing, with q
view Of making improper use Of it.
The sun OF $3.50, 900 is appropriated to
carry out the provisions OF the act. The
additional employees under the act for the
first two years are 10 be appointed regard
less Of the classified service. The Score
tary of the Treasury ia directed to report to
the next session OF Congress the progress

morning. Instantly everything infiamma6le
in the vaults burst into flames. All the
oompany's books, accounts and records
were destroyed.
Every possible precaution had been taken
to avoid the very thing that happened.
Before opening the vault the services Of a
chemical engine were secured to extinglish
any blaze that might OCCUR. The flames
that sprung forth when the doors were
opened, however, defied the efforts OF the
engine crew and not a paper was saved.

Committee for That Purpose.

Committee for That Purpose.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-Chairman Burrow
Of the Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections will make a final effort to-
morrow to secure a report in the Smoot case.
The Senator from a sick bed issued a call
to-day for a meeting Of his committee
at 1890 tomorrow, and specified in the call
that the object was to vote to make a report
in the Smoot case. 1t Is doubtful whether
Mr.. Burrows will have a quorum present.
-Four Senator's are certain TO he absent
MIR. Dolliver. who left tonight for Atlantic
City, and Messrs. Frazier, Bailey and De-
pew.
1t Is understood that the Republican
leaders in the Senate have determined that
no action shall be taken in the Senate on
the case this session. If the case is reported
it is likely to be discussed.
1t was reported to-day that Senator Pettus,
heretofore classed az anti-Smoot, was dis
posed to vote in favor of the Utah Senator.
The Smoot case will not claim the undi-
vided attention Of the committee, for the
Senate resolution directing a report from
the committee on the status OF Senator
Burton's case will also come up for consid-
Grafton.

that veterans Of tho civil war who have

1T IL Objectionable for four reasons:

service law in substance n IN a pension bill,
and therefore not germane to the general
provisions Of the civil service Jaw.
mo appropriation Is made whereby funds
would be available to pay u pensions
should the bill be appro we'd.
1T provides for a service pension, with
out regard TO disability, except in the case

should first be made for the veteran who is
compelled through physical disability TO
retire from active employment.
1T tends toward the establishment of a
