D. c, April 9--Presi- dent Taft has won a signal victory for the Philippine Islands in the accept ance by the senate committee on fi- nance late tonight of the provision of the Payne tariff bill for the free ad- mission of 3OO,OOO tons gross annually of Filipino sugar This decision was reached after the subcommittee con- sidering the sugar schedule had taken to the White House Charles B. War ren, president of the Michigan Sugar company. and had confirmed an agree ment between President Taft and Mir Warren made in this city last fall After the agreement between Mir. Taft and the beet sugar raisers had been announced the right of Mir. Warren to speak for the beet sugar interests was brought into question
 The house committee on ways and means on January 2S adopted the sec tiOn of the Payne bill relating to the free importation of products from the Philippines with a limitation of 300. 900 tons annually in sugar Within the last week this section has been at lacked severely by representatives from beet sugar states and it was charged in the house that in making such an agreement Mir. Warren had assumed authority he did not possess.
