Those Who Voted
Against its Passage.
Provides Free Trade.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The Philip
pine tariff bill, the administrations
measure, which has been the s.orm
center In the house of representatives
since late in Decemper ana upon which
the beet sugar and statehood forces
have been training all their guns with
view of breaking down the organ
ization Of that body, passed the house
late this afternoon by a vote OF 25S 10
n, with but one unimporlant amend
ment.
1he Democrats, defeated In their
move TO nave adopted substitute de-
claring for absolute tree trade, voted
for the measure.
The opposition came from IA Demo-
Gratis, representing the southern tobac-
co and sugar interests, and 81 Repub-
Iicans who are from the tobacco grow
ing states of Connecticut and Penn
eylvania and the beet sugar states.
The measure provides for free trade
between the islands and the United
States, excepting the island sugar, to-
Dacco, manufactured and unmanufact-
|ured, and rice, which upon coming into
this country, must pay 20 per cent OF
the Dingley tariff rates, absolute free
trade to maintain after April IL,
1909.
Those who voted against the bill
were: Aiken, s. c.; Broussard, Rob-
ertson, Davey, Meyer, and Watkins,
Louisiana; Clark, Lamar and Spark
man, Florida; Gillespie, Slayden and
Burgess, Texas; Lindsay, New York
and Moon, Tennessee, Democrats, anu

The insurgent fight upon the meas
ure, an unknown quantity to the lead
ers; yet something to be reckonet
with, went to pieces at the last mo-
ment. These Republicans refused tc
join with the Democrats who had al
all times held the balance of power
They refused to aid the Democrats IL
declarrg for the independence OF the
islands or to reduce by 80 per cent the
differential duty ON refined sugar
they also refused to wreck the bill by
voting for the Democratic substitute
for absolute free trade. On the othel
hand, the Democrats threw down the
insurgents when called upon to sup
port the insurgent propose ton to have
the amount of island sugar and to
bacco that can come into the Unitet
States In any one year, restricted to {
Emitted amount.

Justice Deuel. testified that In 1888
he met Col. William ID. Mann. editor Of

In answer to questions on cross ex-

LADY LEvY-DUNcAN ENDED

Relative Of English Family of Note

Her Children.

Chicago, Jan. 16.--In the plain conf

Office, "Died, Mrs. Fannie Grey, at
1886 Ridgewood Court" is hidden a
romantic story whose parallel is sell
dom found outside the realm OF fic-
tion.
1t was the announcements of the
death in want and penury, far from

Lady Florence Dunlevy Duncan Grey,
vile of Lord Grey, formerly secretary
to the English embassy at Pars and
member Of the Canadian government,
whose daughter is now connected with
the royal household and whose two
sons are at Oxford.
Through her herOis' self-sacrifice in
giving the bulk of her income to the
education Of her children, she has hid
den herself for the past ten years in
poverty, which did not wound her
pride.
Deserted by her husband after 10
years of married life, Lady Grey told
her English friends she would retire
10 her AlaDama estate while her chill
dren were being educated, in order to
forget her HUSBAND.
Frequent letters were received by
Lady Grey from Lord Balfour, the
Countess of Warwick and many other
of her old friends of like rank. All
these letters were sent first to her
Alabama properties and then sent to

Probably the most striking feature
OF the tatles just completed by the
state auditor, showing the total tax
hduplicate for the state and the taxes
levied thereon last year, is the differ
ence in the amount Of taxes paid in
the counties of Cuyahoga and Ham'l-
ton. Upon a valuation of 1851 ,295, 1876
Cuyahoga paid In taxes S9,235, ,53IS5,
while Hamilton upon valuation OF
$269, 9,O44,6 500 paid $6,06S, 472.6S.
The total tax levy for Stark county
was s1S162, 2,s41S6.
Two governors messages will not
have been in vain, If the resolution In

Frizell says superintendents and en-
ployes OF the southern half OF the ca

than in others. This criticism is easy
to make, and does not come from
friends of the law. The conditions in
different parts of thu State are differ
ent. 1t is easy to crucise the enforce
ment of the law by saying that it is
not as well enforced In one county as
in another, or to criticise the commits
sion because they nave deputies at
work in one county and not in anoth-
er, Pursuing this specious argument,
II 1t should be found necessary to put
deputies into every county, then those
same critics could commence by
towns, following the same line and
criticising the commission again be-
cause deputies were in one town and
not In another.
But however this may be, one thing
Is certain, and that Is that progress
has been made in the enforcement of
the law, as thiSs very form Of criticism
admits; for as n complains of laxity in
one place, 1t compares IL with good
enforcement existing in other places.
The work undertaken by the Sturgis
Commission was a great one, and it
must necessarily proceed cautiously
step by step, and the whole trend of
the Democratic argument admits, that
so far as it has gone, 1t has done we'll
Their cry is that it has not rushed
along at headlong speed. Then, with
their usual fairness, after having COM
planned that the commission has not
proceeded fast enough-hasnt put
deputies in many of our'counties, they
turn around and persist in crticising
the Governor and Council for having
spent SO much money They say there
was an appropriation of $500 and
that this has been largely over1rawn.
In doing this they carry out the same
system of telling half the truth which
has pervaded all their other criticism.
The Sturgis act SO called, in section
/ provided for the appointment OF
three members, the hiring of a clerk,
the paying of the expenses OF the
commissioners and incidental ex-
penses. The following sections provid-
ed for the appointment ofdeputy COM

with the powers of deputy sheriffs,
and who were to actively engage in
the enforcement of the law. Section

such cases, to be provided for in the

er these expenses the sum of $500
was appropriated. The expenses Of

Tho trainers Of this law took the
situation seriously and were earnest
In their efforts TO secure the enforce
ment of the law. They did not take
kindly to Democratic methods, which
have often been exhibited, of acquiesc-
ing in law and refusing the means
