TIE PHILIPPINE TARIFF.

Dispatches from Washington indicate that the
Senate Philippines Committee will find way TO
reverse its refusal TO report-either favorably
Or adversely-the Payne Tariff Reduction bill.
The committee by its action March prac-
dcally smothered this measure. for il denied TO
the House bill, or any modification of that bill,
a place on the Senate's calendar OF business and
made legislation for the relief OF the Filipinos
impossible except by appeal over the com
mittee's head 20 the judgment of the Senate.
Such an appeal involves direct attack on the
committees good faith ana representative char
Rcter, and parliamentary body governed as
conspicuousiy as the Senate is by unwritten
rules Of courtesy is always extremely reluctant
TO impeach censure its committees. II has
seemed 10 US that the committee did not truly
represent the feeling OF the upper house in
unoeremoniousy strangling the Payne bill. and
we have urged such further action eS would
force a rollcall and show Of hands fa'
floor OF the Senate. Yet. from Il 1arllamentagy
point OF view, fl is doubtless more desirable to
follow the line of least resistance. avoiding uG-
necessary frictions and irTitatiOps and this
policy the friends OF the House bill have adopted
in making another effort 10 break the deadlock
in committee before putting the oompttae it~r,f

and has developed a tremendous military po-
tency. Why not? Who shall deny Germany's
right to material greatness? AT the same time
she has been-perhaps we might say especially
under her present Emperor-a constant make
weight for peace among the nations. This feat
ure Of German life and policy was well recog-
nized the other day by 'The London Spectator
in speaking of "the growing desire of Ger
''mans for quiet, as essential TO that increase
'of wealth and commerce which makes them
so much happier" That desire is real and is
already dominant
1t is desirable that each nation should rec
Ognize that the other is not wanton interna-
tional meddler but is simply seeking to safe
guard and to promote its own interests. We
have no doubt that Germany regards with much
solcitude the extensive and prosperous settle
ments of her people in Brazil and Argentina,
but we cannot credit the suggestion that she
meditates the military conquest of those coun-
tries, or of any parts of them. We have no
doubt that she would greatly like to possess
a colony, or at least a naval and coaling sta
ton, on the Caribbean Sea, and there is reason
to believe that some of her forward" colonial
party have coveted such a holding and have
expressed a desire, if not a determination, to
get it; but when an authoritative minister of
the German Empire officially disclaimed for his
government any design of securing one or of
taking any action in those waters contrary to
the interests, policy or wishes of the United
States, we accepted his declaration at its full
value. To our mind, it is far better for each
nation to devote its energy and its vigilance
to the proper promotion of it's own interests
than to keep sitting up O. nights suspecting all
manner Of evil of its neighbors

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

According to Russian papers this story is true
A Cossack officer named E attached TO the
Oommissariat. He supplied the Manchurian army
with horses The commIssariat department and
the other horse purveyors were not a little aston
ished to find that E-'s horses were both superior
in quality and cheaper than the others; yet his
accounts were in perfect order, and nothing was
said about It. But now that peace has enabled the
commissariat department TO look into several mys-
teries in connection with the army supply that of
E-'s horses has also been elucidated. II appears
that he placed himself at the head of a band Of
Chunchuse robbers, fell upon the flying squadrons
OF the Russian frontier guard in Manchuria and
after killing the riders. sold their horses TO the
Russian army.

Mr.. Shaw that the time had come for drastic
action Mr. Shaw is a courageous Secretary.
Several times he has set president and public
criticism aside by taking action which. while
1t relieved monetary distress for time, has
not served to improve existing conditions gov

In view of the great San Francisco earthquake
IT seems probable that the recent disaster at Lake
Tulare by which the waters Of the lake reclaimed
the greater part of its ancient domain engulfed
a territory of about one hundred and fifteen thou
sand acres and destroyed the reclamation works
of more than two decades, may now be regarded
harbnger of the appalling catastrophe
which followed closely upon 1t. AS shown by
Professor LIE Conte, the lighter earthquake dis
turbances of San Francisco always approach by
way of what geologists call the San Joaquin
fault, and Lake TuIare lies IN that region it's
recent overflow may not have been altogether
due to floods and melting snow. However that
may be- the whole San Joaquin valley. the
gton Of the fault, has recently been carrying an
abnormal weight Of water. thus increasing the
tendency TO break down in the line of the fault
and therefore TO produce trernors Of the earth.
In the recent earthquake the southwest move
ment, always connected with oceanic disturb
ance, and the eastern wave movement appear
to have joined and as a result San Francisco
has had the greatest catastrophe in its history.
