TARIFF BILL KILLED.
SENATE COMMITTEE REFUSES TO
REPORT MEASURE AFFECT.
ING PHILIPPINES.

81 = : ~
Washington, March By a vote Of
8 to the senate committee on Phil.
ippines defeated the Payne bill, which
had passed the house by a vote Of 258
to II. The action Of the committee
had been foreshadowed for nearly q
week, although the exact vote had not
been known. The senator's voting for
the bill were: Lodge, Beyeridge, Long,
Carmack and McCreary. The mega
tive votes were: Hale, Burrows, Dick.
Nixon, Brandegee, Culberson, Dubois
and Stone.
After this decisive action had been
taken Mr.. McCreary moved that the
bill be reported to the senate ad-
versely in order to give the senate a
chance to consider it. Mr.. Brandegee
moved to table the motion and this
was carried by a vote Of q to 6, Mr..
Nixon voting with the minority on this
proposition. This action effectually
disposes of the measure unless the
chairman Of the committee should ap.
peal to the senate by resolution This
course is regarded as unlikely.

One Million Dollars.

Meridian, Miss, March S.-The loss
Of life in the tornado which plowed
pathway from the southern to the
eastern suburbs of this city numbers
twenty-six and forty-six persons were
injured. The property damage is fully
$1,250,0o0.
The storm broke over the city at
1927 p. m. and was of four minutes
duration. During this time reign Of
terror prevailed. The wind was fol.
lowed by a rainfall lasting half an
hour, aiding in the suppression of the
innumerable fires that were springing
up.
The storm came towards the city
from the southwest, following the
railroad tracks, which pass through
Meridian along First street. One Of
the first buildings to go down was the
electric lighting plant and the city
was thrown into darkness. Among
the other buildings destroyed are the
following: The Meridian cotton mill;
the Queen and Crescent freight depot;
the Lyle Grocery company; the G. M.
Rubush lumber yards; the Meyer
Neville Hardware company; the Grand
Avenue hotel; the Ogden hotel; the
railroad Y. M. c. A. and Elmire's res
taurant. A large number OF small
buildings were either demolished or
damaged.
That the death rate is not larger
than that given is marvellous, but can
be accounted for probably by the fact
that many employees of the mercantile
houses, depot, offices and other places
maintaining large clerical forces had
finished their days work and gone to
their homes in other portions of the
city, where no damage was done.

St Petersburg, March THE full
text Of an imperial manifesto and
laws relating to the national assembly
and the reorganized council OF the
empire, the main features Of which
already have been telegraphed abroad,
throws a food Of light upon the pur-
pose of the government to keep firm
check on the new Russian parliament
and to exclude certain subjects from
consideration by the peoples repre-
sentatives. The composition OF the
council Of the empire or upper house
OF the national assembly with one
half appointed by the emperor and
twenty-six elected from the nobility
and clergy, not counting scattering
supporters from other classes, seems
to insure a conservative. II not a
pliab1e majority in the council to
block the na.ie;s as snouid
the majority of the latter be in oppo-
sition to the crown. The government
carefully retains the power to promul-
gate temporary" laws during re-
cesses Of the parliament and as the
parliament is subject to dissolution by
imperial ukase the government Is
thus in position In time Of stress to-
rid itself of an obnoxious legislature
and proclaim such laws as 1t deems
necessary to meet the emergency.
"Reds" Barred From Membership.
A feature Of the law which seems to
effectually bar reds from member
ship in the national assembly, is
provision exacting from persons elect.
ed an oath Of fidelity to emperor,
autocrat and holy Russia.
The most significant article, how
ever, .s on retaining certain provis-
ions of an existing law, which is mem
toned only by number. This innocent
looking provision is far reaching, plac-
ing beyond the jurisdiction Of the par
liament and consigning to existing
committees Of the council Of the em-,
pire composed solely Of members ap
pointed by the crown for ennsid deras1
ton the following:
First-Reports of the minister Of
finance upon the state of the treasury.
Second Charges Of malfeasance
against members Of the council Of the
empire, ministers, governors general
and COMMUNICATIVE chief of land or
sea forces.
Third The establishment Of stock
companies with special privileges.

tailed estates, titles or nobility, etc.
