4 Blg suit Filed.

A suit was filed in the United States circuit court in this city this morning against the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company for damages involV- ing perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 The complainant in the suit Is Car negie Steel Company. one of the sub ordinate companies of the steel trust, and is for an alleged infringement on a patent process of mixing molten pig metal. The Carnegie company asks for a permanent injunction vs. the Ten nessee Company, restraining 1t from further use of the process, and also for damages, which 1t desires the court to assess from the profits which have accrued to the defendant company during the years of the alleged in- frinsement, and as resultRof it's use of the patented method claimed to be the exclusive property of the complain ant. This, it is seen, may be an i'm mense sum,
 The patented process which Is ai- legged to have been infringed by the Tennessee Company. was devised by William R. Jones' In 1sSS and from whom the Carnegie company bought the patent and all rights and privileges thereto belonging. The letters patent taken out by the said Jones at Wash ington are filed as an exhibit and made a part of the bill
 The bill was filed by Charles Mac Veagh and Blakewell and Byrnes, at torneys. representing the Carnegie A. c. Dinkey is president of the company. and William E. Corey President of the United States Steel Company, is one of the stockholders.

PHILIPPINE BILL
SENATE COMMITTEES ACTION AM
 GERS HOUSE LEADERS.
Measure Strongly Backed by the Ad- Eminasfratfon, But Senators EfTee- tuaiIy SqaeIeh Ef---Oxnard Ia
 on the Alert.
By Alfred .J. stoger.


 Washington. March 29--(SpeciaL)--- The House Republican leaders are highly wrought up over the action of the Senate committee in smothering the Philippine tariff bill. This is looked upon as one of the queer complications of the session. When the measure was before the House the men who came to Washington in the interest of the beet and cane sugar interests, in their ef- forts to defeat any and all attempts 0 reduce the duties on Philippine sugar, insisted that if the House Dem ocrats would unite solidly with the in surgent Republicans. there could be no legislation on the subject.
 But the Democrats would not hearken unto the appeal. for they divided on the question pretty evenly. Minority Leader John Sharp Williams and other prominent Democrats contended that if they could not get free trade with the iElands--a thing they insisted should be brought about if the Philippines are 60 be considered. United States terri tory--tae next best move was to as- sist the Republicans willing to cut down the tax. They stoutly argued that this was more in accord with Dem- ocratic demand for lower tartf duties. Other Democrats in their speeches and conversations thought that if the bill passed it would benefit only the sugar ana TOT L0dt reason they allied themselves with the Republican insur- gents who rebelIed on account of the pressure brought to bear from States in which beet sugar is produced in vast quantities.
 What exasperabes the Republican leaders of the House is that the bill is an administrative measure. It was strongly urged by President Roosevelt ana Secretary Taft, and Senator Lodge is the chairman of the Philippines Committee of the Senate. The House leaders are known to feel that if the Senate Committee will not bring in g favorable report, they should at least make an adverse one. and let the ques- ton come up in the Senate so that each member of the upper branch could have an opportunity to vote on the merits of the proposition.
 The Senate Committee is composed of thirteen members. eight Republicans and i've Democrats. Differing from their political brethren in the House. the Senate Democrats on the commit

John A. Topping is Elected Director and Chosen ns Chairman of the Board-The Contemplated
 Emprnyemenfs.

Birmingham. March 29.~-(Specia1)-- The meeting of the board of directors of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Rail- road Company came 10 an end this afternoon and the following official statement was given out: At a meet ing of the board of directors of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com pany, held this morning. John A. Top ping was elected a director and made chairman of the board; but this change In the board of directors does not in- volve any changes in the organization The board declared it's regular guar teriy dividend of 1 per cent.
 No action was taken in the matter of extensions or new Improvements at this meeting. but 1t was determined to thoroughly remodel the steel plant and blast furnaces so as to bring them up to the highest state of efffciency. This work will necessarily involve the ex- penditure of large sums of money and will materially increase the output of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Company in It's various finishing de- partments. General Improvements will also be made in the coal mining de- partment of the company by additional equipment necessary to secure a great CT output of coal and coke. as well as to improve the qualitys,
 Don Fl. Bacon. who was chairman of the board of directors Of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com- pany and also is President Of that cor poration, when asked as to himself. replied that he had rendered his res- ignatfon as President Of the Company effective May 18th. and that on the date mentioned he will sever his con- neetion with the company. When ask ed as to who would be his successor az President of the Tennessee Conn pany, he replied that he could not tell.
 While nothing definite is given out 1t is understood that the first work in the way of development and improve ment will be in enfarging and practi- cally rebuilding two Of the furnaces at Thomas, the enlargement of the steel plant at Ensiey and the adding of new and modern equipment at the coal and ore mines and other work. While no Statement is made in a def mite way, 1t is believed that the im- mediate improvement and development will bring about an expenditure of no less than two million dollars. The election of Mir. Topping to the chair manship of the board of directors of the Tennessee Company will call for many visits on his part to the Birming- ham district MT. Topping has made most favorable impression here and many people predict that his coming into the district will mean much more than has been anticipated.
 John w. Gates left this afternoon on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad for New York Other members of the directory of the Tennessee Company went to Thomasvil1e, Ga, and Angus ia, Ga, while Mir. Topping will remain in the city q day or two longer.

Says RumOrs of a Chancellor Crisis
 Are Foolish

Berlin, March 2s.-Chancellor von Buelow, during speech in the Reich stag today on the necessity for sepa- rating the colonial from the foreign policy by creating 8 secre &ryship of the colonies said.
 'The rumors of Chancellor crisis of which you have heard are just as foolish as those imputing personal mo- tives to the parties in this House."
 The chancellor alluded to the report that the members of the Centre party were opposed to Prince Ernest Hohen- lohe-Langenberg as colonial director be cause he is regarded as being hostile to Catholics.
 The late foreign secretary, Baron von Reichthoff, continued the chancellor, broke down as the result of the exces- sive work of the foreign office and colon ial office. The late secretary, before his death. said that the colonial af- fairs were nail In his coffin.
 The North German Gazette tonight authoriatiVely denies that the Chancel- Tor VIII retire and expresses the hope that all newspa pers will not heed the inaccurate statement made on the sub ject.

tee have been standing rather solidly together against the bill, and as sugar and tobacco cut such q big figure in the business. there are enough Republicans on the committee opposed to the meas ure to keep 1t tied up. The only way the matter can be brought before the Senate is for some friend of the bill to make fiery speech on q resolution he may offer discharging the commit tee from further consideration of the bill, and put the question to a direct vote.
 The House Republican leaders are understood to take the position that as the bill has been passed in the lower branch and Is a party measure, it is the duty of the upper branch to permit a vote.
 The gossip that is sihoating around has caused. the mensrep1esenting beet sugar and tobacco to keeTkp sharp eye on all that is going on. The agents of Henry T. Oxnard of Nebraska, New York and California--for he holds forth in all three States, and is commonly called the beet sugar king"--are on the alert since this talk commenced about trying to force a vote in the Senate. The bill was, they imagined. stabbed to death in committee, and they do not like to hear rumors of bringing 1t to life again.
