PHILIPPINE ASSEMBLY
PASSES ITS FIRST BILL.
100000 for Construction of Schools
Throughout the Prov

MANILA. Dec. 2O.-The first bill passed
the Philippine Assembly yesterday. The
bill ~appropriates one million dollars for the
construction of schools throughout the
provinces. The bill was passed unani-
mously.
The Assembly, without a dissenting
speech OF vote, instructed those who are
about to proceed to Washington on five
principal heads. The instructions are prac
tically all directed against the tariff Law
and the coastwise shipping laws. They
ask for the repeal of the shipping laws on
the ground that they destroy the chances
for Increased transportation, even II tariff
reform is adopted.
1t is also asked that there be given free
entry to the States four hundred thousand
tons of sugar, three hundred thousand
pounds of wrapper tobacco, and three hun
dred thousand pounds of filler, an unlim-
tied amount Of manufactured tobacco,
Philippine hats, woven goods and manu-
featured hemp. In return for this privl-
lege the Philippines will admit free of
duty agricultural machinery aud maintain
other tariffs of the existing law.
The power to conclude commercial treat
les is dependent on the repeal of the Frye
Shipping law.

this city. and II is this class OF bankers
whom Mr.. Conklin is preparing to proceed
against.
Some of the brokers have been in the
habit of only collecting money and then
have the banks remit the amounts that
they desired.
More than three local bankers will be
summoned before the next Grand Jury.
Their names are being kept quiet by the
one will not have to go further than the
