HURT PHILIPPINE BILL.

Washington Dec. 1.-THE Democratic minority
IN the Senate. despite its vaunted advocacy OF 4
lower tariff, has struck blow st the Philip
pine tariff bill by its selection of the Democratic
members of the Committee on Philippines
1t will be recalled that when the Philippine tariff
bill, which provided for the collection of so per
cent of the Dingley duties on sugar. tobacco and
rice and the admission free Of all other imports
from the Philippines came over from the House
year. it referred. in the regular order TO
the Philippines Committee. and was held there by
a vote of seven 20 six against reporting Il to the
Senate Had the Democrats voted with the chair
man. Mr. Lodge and Messrs. Beveridge and Long.
the measure could have been reported, but MessIs
Dubois and Stone voted with the stand-Pat Repuo-
Hcans.
II was hoped that the Democrats this year would
show sufficient loyalty to this reduction Of the tariff
to select Democrats who would support the chair
man and the Philippine Republicans Cnfortu-
rately for the BILL however. Mr.. Dubois has been
replaced by Mr. Teller. who IS If possible. even
more antagonistio to the Philippine bill than was
the Senator from Idaho. while Senator McCreary,
who voted for The bill. transferred to the
Philippines with Mr Newlands, who Is strongly
opposed TO the measure Mr.. Teller. This makes
favorable action or such measure impossible in
this Congress.

This is TO consist Of an offer TO vote for the Philip

since the announcement OF the plan"
Contrasting the American and Japanese fleets the
Russian admiral said THE Japanese personnel

but the American ships exceed the Japanese in
strength and numbers that there Is no question of

rebuilding of the Russian fleet He believes that
