IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The Philippine
tariff bill was passed by the House
today substantially as it came from
the ways and means committee. The
vote was 25S to II. Rice was made
subject to the same tariff as sugar
and tobacco, 25 per cent. of the Ding
ley rates, and one or two changes were
made as to language. This result was
attained after decidedly the most
strenuous day of the present Congress.
The many amendments which were
launched and went to pieces i'm the
storm of debate and against the rock
which the House committee on rules
constituted left much legislative
wreckage, and many records only use
full for future political purposes.
Republican opposition to the bill in
the interest of American beet and cane
sugar and tobacco, tried out its
strength early and gave up. This op-
position refused to affiliate with Demo-
cratic efforts. The strongest plea for
'insurgent' support was made in be-
half of Champ Clark's amendment re-
ducing the differential on refined sugar.
The minority sought to duplicate the
House record made on the Cuban re-
ciprocity act. but they reckoned with
out their host today, as not a Republi-
can opponent to this measure stood
with them to overrule the decision of
the Chair. The Democratic substitute
met with only the support of the min
ority and went down under a vote Of
231 to LOG. On the final passage Of the
bill the insurgents" demanded a roll
call that their record might be pre-
served
An effort, sustained by the Demo-
Gratis. but opposed by all but three
Republicans. was initiated by Mr.. Nc
Call of Massachusetts to commit the
United States to the policy Of grant
ing independence to the Philippine Is
lands as soon as their inhabitants can
be prepared for self-government.
The bill admits goods, the growth or
pl oduct of the Philippines, into the
United States free of duty except
sugar, tobacco and rice, on which a
tariff of 25 per cent. of the Dingley
rates is levied. 1t provides that after
April IL, 1909, there shall be absolute
free trade each way between the Unit
ed States and the Philippine Islands.
1t exempts Philippine goods coming
to the United States from the export
tax of those islands. Merchandise
from either country is subject to the
internal revenue tax of the country in
which such merchandise is withdrawn
for consumption.
The House adjourned at $40 o'clock.
Steenerson, Minn., obtained the floor
on 4 question Of personal privilege at
the opening of the House. He had read
from Il Boston paper an article quoting

erson on last Saturday that IL he had

More and more and more does it be- come apparent that Alaska will never get a really square deal until it is made a government of Alaska for Alaskans by Alaskans. This Lacey bill offers a most excellent illustration of this. The people who go down to Washington and spend the winter there are seldom the people who express the core of AL askan feeling. They spend part of the time in Alaska and they have interests
 here but their view of things Alaskan is a personal one, and while mayhap entirely honest it differs radically on questions of most moment. If the Lacey bill served no other purpose it demonstrates this fact with absolute characterization News.

 Al. Stephens, Worthy Chief, tell us how you fared on the trip.
 eve left Valdez March 8th and made Camp Comfort by night, cut our load in half and sold to the roadhouse, we got tired and wise quick. We all did two dogs work going over the summit, and then our troubles began. The briny tears roll still when recall the soft snow and the chuck holes and after 85 miles of hell and hardships it was rather smooth going, considering, until we struck the Delta and tthen to my sorrow the ice would persist in flying up and kicking me in the back of the head until my head resembled sack of turnips, and it was mush, mush, mush for 1SO miles over gravel bars, through overfows and soft snow. But here we are, but home is not like this, and the worst is yet to come, but keep at work George, 1 may wire some day"
 O. H. Bernard.
 ''Yes mushed all right. l bought a ticket from the one horse, nickel plated stage and transportation company, Bartlett Brothers, incorporated, price Sl25, with all privileges. Sucker don't seem to spell the word. We left Valdez March 8, at noon,made Workman's at foot of summit 20 miles out by night, and right here all the nickel plate wore off the outfit and the privileges shone bright and clear of walking behind the sleigh and working the outfit through the new soft snow from early morning until night. We landed at the other side of the summit wet, worn out and hungry, only ten miles, and then the chuck holes 10 feet deep, for three days boys nary a ride, just work and mush. Next overfows and gravel bars for miles and miles. The scenery was beautiful but the roadhouses were bum at g per for rabbit straight and warm ed over grub I've been here over two weeks and have not got the galvanized taste out of my mouth yet. My little cabin homeis on Wendell Avenue near the slough, the coffee and bean pots are always full, the sour dough can is working overtime and the latch string lis always out"
 Pile Driver Bob Keeny.
 "l am no kicker boys if l did kick 39O miles of trail behind me, and don't like to tell hard luck story but the facts are the trail is fit only for jack-rabbit, and birds to fly over. lam no bird, but we passed everything standing still or coming our direction. But say I am really getting fat can't you notice it? and eat like horse."
 The two vacant cracker boxes repre- senting Otto and Andy don't respond.
 The Douglas bunch is we'll, hearty and happy, with clear eye, good appe- tite and stiff upper lip and feel conf dent of giving a good account of them selves ere they leave this glorious Northland. Every indication points to the permanancy and future great ness and prosperity of this camp, and kindles hope and confidence in the hearts of those who have cast their lot with the seekers for the yellow metal.

 John Samson, come up smiling you are next.
