OPINION OF MANY SENATORS

In the opinion of many senators from to-
day forward all the business of the Senate
so far It relates to general legislation
will be made subordinate TO the one great
issue that is before that body In the form
of the Hepburn rate bill. If the plans OF
some senators are carried out there VIII
be no final action on general legislation un-
til the rate bill is disposed of one way or
the other
good many curious things are happen
ing which are said to be to a large extent
Influenced by this sentiment in the Senate.
The action of the committee on the Phil
ippines In refusing to report the philippine
tariff bill either favorably or unfavorably
TO the Senate came as a surprise to some
senator's who believed up to within Few
days of that action that the bill was very
much stronger in the committee AS hVe
republicans and three democrats voted
against reporting the bill. and as three re
publicans and three democrats voted IN "a,

METRIC SYSTEM FOR U. S.

Decimal weights AMI measures are
in order for Uncle Sam after July l.,
1908, according to DIR. A. G. Bell, who
has pointed out that all civilized coun-
tries with the exception of the United
States and Britain and her colonies
have adopted the simpler and more
scientific decimal system. BY refer
ence to the decimal system of coin
age, DR.. Bell has provided convincing
instances OF the simplifcation posi-
Bile with It in the conversion of units.
and explained that the United States,
when it changed from the old system
OF pounds, shillings and pence to dol
lars and cents did not adopt the met
ric system Of weights and measures
because the latter, as we know it,
did not appear until after the Ameri-
can coinage act of 1892. The facts
that our whole system OF arithmetic
is decimal, that no difficulty whatever
is experienced by ordinary workmen
in the use of the metric system
provided there is no question of con-
verting their measurements, and that
the use of the metric system need not
mean the use of new tools-were all
clearly explained.
