N. F. Murphy Was in City.

M. F. Murphy of Grand Forks,
N. D., who is member of the firm
of Collins & Murphy of Grand Forks,
N. D., came down yesterday morn
ing from International Falls, where
he had been to look over the bust
ness of the bank at that place in
which he is interested. Mr.. Murphy
reported that business at the Falls
was progressing nicely and that there
was much activity there as result
of the work on the big power dam.
Speaking of the recent steamship
accident in which J. P. Mooney of
Langdon, N. D., was killed and
several other passengers were
severely injured, Mr.. Murphy stated
that his wife, was also a passenger on
the ill-fated boat, and was hurt quite
badly. Mr.. Murphy said that Mrs.
Murphy is still in hospital at
New York City, but is getting
along nicely now. Mrs. Murphy
will entirely recover, but will be
slightly crippled for the remainder
of her life.
International Falls is fortunate in
securing men like M. F. Murphy and
S. c. Collins as investors in their
local business interests. Both are
solid, substantial business men who
will add strength and solidity to the
commercial circles of any COM
munity.

Il am advised by the Bureau of
Forestry that this forest reserve does
not effect any land upon which
entries have been made and proof

Chicago, April 16.-President Hor-

has decided to move the general
Offices of the company from st. Paul

preventing factor at this time is a
lack of means and the difficulty Of

TARIFF REVISION
FOR PHILIPPINES
President Sends Message to
Congress on Subject.

crease in the Rates of Duty Now
Provided, but Is Intended to Insure
the Benefit of the Philippine Mar
ket for American Trade-Increased
Revenue the Object Desired.
Washington, April 16.-The presi-
dent has sent to congress a special
message, accompanying a bill for re-
vision Of the Philippine tariff. The
message transmits recommendations
by the secretary of war for revision
OF the Philippine tariff so as to per-
NIT as much customs revenue as pos
slble for the islands and at the same
time to extend to the islands the prin-
ciple of protective tariff for it's in
dustries. Under the conditions which
will arise from the enactment of the
tariff bill pending in congress, which
provides, under certain conditions, for
free trade between the Philippines
and the United States, the revenues Of
the islands will be considerably af-
fected and numerous protests have
been received here on this account.
The proposed amendments to the bill
are to interfere as little as possible
with these free trade conditions and
at the same time permit collections of
ample revenues.
Generally speaking the bill submit
ted by the president makes slight IN
crease in the rates of duty now pro-
vided in the Philippine tariff, but its
trainers say its tendency is to insure
as far as practicable the benefit of the
Philippine market for American man
ufactures and products The bill
makes some additions to the free list.
There will be an increase in internal
revenue duties, by which it is hoped
to make UP the loss which the Philip
pine islands will sustain by the op-
erations of the free trade provisions
in the pending Payne tariff bill.

had the satisfaction of seeing il entirely
restored and ready for flight. Mr.. Curtiss
is eager to start Immediately with the
trials, but his friend are endeavorfng TO
dissuade him from taking any chances, de-
Claring that he is likely to augmen his
injury, which would entirely disable him
and prevent his participation in the races
which begin next Sunday.
Mr.. Curtiss reluctantly acdueisced ana
made no attempt to fly today, but no sur

rived here today by automobile and pro-
ceeded Immediately to the home Of James
Stillman. He retired early this evening.
According to his friends, the health Of
Mr.. Hartman has been greatly improved
during his s]oJourn in Europe.
Arrangements have been made for Mr..
Hartman to sail from Cherbourg tomor-
row on the North German Lloyd steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm II.
MUNICH. Aug. r.-when f. II. Harri-
man left here last Sunday by automobile,
intending to proceed by easy stages to
Paris, it was stated by his secretary. Mr..
Price, that the financier intended to take
a Cunard boat for New York at the end
Of the month.
Mr., Hartman looked well and friends
who accompanied him from Salzburg to
Munich say that he was in good health
and excellent spirits. While at the Hotel
Regina here, Mr.. Hartman refrained from
taking active exercise and only made short
automobile trips through the nearby coun-
try districts. A large amount of mail
and numerous kilograms were received by
Mr.. Hartman while in Munich, but he
replied to very few Of them, as he de-
sired to keep business entirely out of his
head and to rest while in Europe. He
was well protected from callers during his
visit by his secretary and servants.

interest in view of the recent reports in
Wall street that he had obtained an option
on a controlling interest in the New York
Central lines. which would give him an
ocean to ocean route. But that this is the
reason for his return is but speculation,
for no statement has been made to that
effect at the Union Pacific offices here or
by Mr., Harriman's associates. 1t was even
said, at the Union Pacific offices today
that no word had been received Of his
contemplated departure from Cherbourg
tomorrow.
The coincidence Of the return at a time
when the New York Central rumor cropped
out strongest, however. il interpreted by
Wall street gossip to mean that he will
exercise the option upon his arrival here,
covering about $50, 600. 600 worth of stock
formerly controlled for the most part by
the Vanderbilt interests.
Because of the conflicting reports con-
corning Mr.. Hartman today-reports that
he would start home this week, reports
that he would not, and reports touching
on his health-the so-called Hartman
stocks fluctuated wildly, and the market
generally was unsettled. Union Pacific
broke from PISS to 21ON, but. late in the
afternoon, when the report of his home
coming was confirmed, Union Pacific
rallied and there was a general recovery
