FREE TRADE BILL
Endorsed By The House b!
In Spite of Western Conressmrn'S
Valient FiSht-.-Another ROose-
welt Victory.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Phil
ippine tariff bill was jassed by the
house yesterday substantially as 1t
came from the ways and means COM
mittee. The vote was 25S to IL
Rice was made subject to the tariff as
sugar and tobacco, 2 > per cent of the
Dingley rate and one or two changes
were made as to the language.
This result was attained after de-
cidedly the most strenuous day of
the present congress.
The many amendments which We're
launched and went to pieces in the
storm of debate and against the rock
which the house rules constituted left
much legislative wreckage and many
records only useful for future politi-
cal purposes.
Opposition to the bill in the in
terest of American beet and cane
sugar and tobacco tried out its
strength early and gave up. The op-
position refused to affiliate with the
Democratic efforts. The strongest
pull of the '1nsurgents" support was
made in behalf of Champ Clark's
amendment requiring the differential
on refined sugar. The minority
sought to duplicate the house records
made on the Cuban reciprocity ac-
tion but they reckoned without their
host yesterday. as not a Republican
who voted on this measure stood with
them TO override the decision of the
chair.
This Democratic substitute met
with only the support of the minority
and went down under a vote of 231
to 106. On the final passage of the
bill the insurgents demanded roll
call. that their record might be pre-
served
An effort sustained by the Demo-
Gratis but opposed by all three Repub
licans was Initiated by Mr. Mccall.
of Massachusetts. to commit the U.
S. to the policy of granting independ-
ence to the Philippines as soon as the
government.
The bill admits goods. the growth
of products of the Philippines. into the
United States, except sugar tobacco
and. rice. on which tariff of 20 per
cent of the Dingley rates is levied; it
provides that after April II. 1903
there shall be absolute free trade
each way between the United States
and the Philippines. 1t also exempts
Philippine goods coming to the Unit
ed States from the export tax of those
countries is subject to the internal
revenue tax of the country in which
such merchandise is withdrawn for
consumption.
Among the Republicans voting
against the bill were Messrs. Bon
ygne. Brooks and Hogg of Colordo.
There is hardly any doubt that
the bill will easily pass the senate.

Albany. N. Y. Jan. 1.-THE state
senate this afternoon by vote of
81 to l rejecting the resolution of
Senator Edgar T. Bracket of Sara
toga demanding the resignation Of
Chauncey NJ. Depew from the United
States senate. After a debate last
ing more than three hours and char
acterized on the one hand by Sena-
tor Brackets denunciations of Sena-
tor Depew and the insurance COM
panies and on the other by very harsh
criticism of the judgment and the
motives of the introducer of the mo-
ton. the roll call showed Senator
Brackets own vote to be the only
one in favor of the resolution. Every
other Republican senator voted
against IL with the exception of Sena-
tor Armstrong, of Rochester. New
York who sent a telegram from his
home to Senator Tulley. his colleague
on the committee to this effect. that
II he were present he would vote
against the resolution.
The fourteen Democratic senators
were excused from voting on the res
olution. Though the motion to ex-
cuse them was opposed by Senator
Bracket, who expressed his desire
to put every senator on record OF

A Million Japs
May Starve F!

Honolulu. Jan. 17.-Advices from
Japan received here by prominent
Japanese show that that government
for months carefully concealed the
extent of the famine in the northern
provinces. The failure of the rice
crop in these provinces was one of
the main reasons for Japan agree
ing to the terms of the Portsmouth
treaty. Because of this failure it
would have been much more difficult
for Japan TO carry on the war. Hence
no information in regard TO the short
age of rice and consequent famine
was allowed to get out until the
treaty was signed.

custody of the children. Both are
former residents of Montrose.
On February /. 1901. Mr. Dan
forth obtained a divorce from Grace
Danforth. and also obtained the Gus
tody of the two children according
to the court records. This was with
the understanding that she was to be
allowed to visit and see the child
rem at the proper time. place. and per-

In July last Danforth let his child
rcn go to Grand Junction. His for
mer wife who is handsome woman
and from he secured a divorce on
grounds of cruelty is now resident
of that city.
1t is said that she was to return
the children in a few days. but has
refused, and still refuses to give them
up. Mr. Danforth applied to the
court for an order directing the
sheriff of Mesa county to take pos
session of the children and return
them to him and according to officials
at the court house the request has
been granted. l.. C. Kiniken of Tel

the tirst witness called and during the
time she was giving testimony oc-
casionally looked around at De Lucia,
who az the suggestion Of District At
torney Nields was made to move
farther from the witness.
DE Lucia several times said some

given, and the woman turned around
TO him and made some remarks in
Italian. Carmen Di Mare, the inter
prefer, when asked what her remark
was, said; "Shs told him that she was
not afraid and told him to not be
afraid. ="

met De Lucia in Narles. He was in
troduced TO her by her sister. De
Lucia, she said, brought her to this
