BEFORE SENATE COMMITTEE.
Governor General Wright Discusses
Philippine Tariff Bill.

Philippine Tariff Bill.
Washington, jan Ex-Governor Gen
eral Luke E. Wright of the Philippine
islands testified during the day before
the senate committee having charge
Of the pending Philippine tariff bill.
Senator Burrows brought out the fact
that hemp is the chief export product
of the islands and that a great deal Of
coffee is grown He asked Governor
Wright why the Philippine commits
sion had not directed it's labors to
educating the Filipinos to extend the
raising of crops which would not en-
products. Governor Wright responded
that these crops are raised on hillside
land and that the natives are congest-
ed near the sea, where the land is fit
only for tobacco, sugar, rice, cocoa
nuts and similar products. He said
that to do what the senator had sug-
gested would necessitate readjust-
ment of the population, which cannot
be shifted like pawns on a chess
board" The governor added, however,
that hemp raising is being developed
rapidly.
Senator Brandegee took decided
interest in the tobacco crop of the ISL
ands and asked many questions con-
corning it. Governor Wright said that
he did not believe the Philippines
would ever produce grade Of tobacco
equalling the Cuban product. He
thought very little Of the product
would be shipped to this country, but
that the opening Of this market would
stimulate growth and raise the pricS
naid to growers by. manufa cturers.

SEVERE EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS
Experienced in Arizona and New Mex
lean Towns.


Albuquerque, N. NJ, Jan. 27.-The
whole western country from Gallup,
NJ NJ, to Seligman, Ariz., a distance
of several hundred miles, experienced
earthquake shocks about 1870 o'clock
p. m. At Gallup the motion was from
west to east. Buildings rocked and
people fed precipitately from their
homes. At Williams, Ariz., the shock
resembled an explosion. Goods were
thrown from the shelves of the stores
and several buildings jerked from
their foundations. At Flagstaff the
wave moved from south to north.
Chimneys were tumbled over and the
plastering in several rooms of the rail
way hospital fell. A number Of pa
tients fled in fear. Moving trains in
the disturbed area were halted by the
shocks. No loss of life or serious
damage to property has thus far been
reported. .--

AN ANTI-HAZING BILL.
6ubmitted to House Committee by
Secretary Bonaparte.

SSSI OIdi DOidPdItCs
Washington, Jan. 27.-The submis-
sion by Secretary Bonaparte of an
anti-hazing bill and testimony by Rear
Admiral Sands, superintendent of the
naval academy, as to discipline at
Annapolis, featured the days session
of the house committee on naval af-
fairs. Admiral Sands surprised many
members of the committee by stating
frankly that no investigation had been
made at Annapolis to determine
whether officers have had knowledge
of the violation of the anti-hazing laws
which went unpunished. He further
more made it clear that he did not
think such an inquiry necessary or de-
sirable. In the opinion of Admiral
Sands, the superintendent of the
academy and the secretary of the
navy should be allowed to exercise
their discretion in Furnishing hazing
offenses. He favored the system of
graduated punishment suggested to
the committee by Secretary Bonaparte.

MAN DIES IN SAVING CHILD.
Struck by Falling Timber While Leav-
ing Burning House.

Cincinnati, Jan. 27.-After plunging
through the flames into Charles Hen
dersons burning house at Montgom-
cry, w. Va, ana safely bringing out
one of the children jug" King, a well
known character, was killed by a fall
ing timber as the walls fell outward.
The cottage in which the Hender-
sons lived caught fire and the flames
were in full headway before the fam
lily were sroused and fed from the
burning building. Neighbors who had
gathered discovered that one of the
children, which both parents thought
the other had carried out, was still
in the house
King plunged through the ring of
flames, wrapped the child in blanket
and was almost out of danger when a
beam fell outward and he was struck

CONFERENCE RESUMED.
Attorneys in Beef Trust Case Trying
to Get Together.

to Get Together.
Chicago, Jan. 27-Another attempt
is to be made by counsel for the in
dicted packers and the government to
agree upon a statement of facts con-
cerning the actions Of Commissioners
of Corporations Garfield when he came
West to investigate the beef industry.
The attorneys had reported that they
were unable to agree and that the
frial would proceed. When the hour
for reopening the court arrived, how
ever, the trial was not commenced
and after waiting for some time and
holding conferences with the attor-
neys Judge Humphrey announced from
the bench that the lawyers would
make additional efforts to reach an
agreement as to the facts and that the
hearing would be adjourned until 10
O'Clock Monday morning.
The government attorneys are will
ing to agree to "a statement Of facts
which will not prejudice the case for
them, because it is evident that if the
case is argued on the points of law
PRODUCTION of evidence will be saved.
District Attorney Morrison will agree
to nothing, however, except that if
the government is victorious under the
pleas of immunity by the packers the
latter must then stand trial under the
indictments. If the packers win on
the law points involving the plea of
immunity they go free, pending an ap-
peal to the supreme court of the Unit
ed States by the government.
