Washington, June 26-Following full
discussion by the general board of the
navy of the question of the establish
ment of a permanent naval base in the
Philippines. Secretary Meyer soon will
take up the matter with President Taft
for final decision. The permanent Ioca-
ton, it is believed. rests between Manila
and Olongapo, other places like Cavite

eliminated. Should Manila finally be de-
cided upon, which is regarded as quite
probable, it IS stated that Olongapo viii

PULP AND PRINT
PAPER SCHEDULE
Amendments Offered by Sena-
tor Brown Finally Accepted
by AIdrich.

washington, June 2s.-The senate to-
day revised its previous action on the
print paper and wood pulp schedule,
agreeing upon amendments relating
both to pulp and paper in place Of
amendments hitherto adopted. The
amendments which were today accepted
were those proposed by Senator Brown
of Nebraska.
When the senate reverted to the pulp
and paper provision, Mr.. Aldrich stated
that he was prepared to accept the
amendments, which had been proposed
by Mr.. Brown. The Brown amendment
for the pulp provision is a complete sub
stitute for house paragraph 400.
President to Decide.
1t provides for the free admission of
mechanically ground wood pulp, but au-
thOTizes the imposition Of a duty Of one
twelfth of a cent per pound, dry weight,
upon the PRONUNCIATION of a proclama-
ton by the president, declaring that any
country, dependency or province has
unduly Disseminated against the United
States by the imposition Of an export
duty or export charge of any kind upon
pulp wood, wood pulp or printing paper
exported into the United States, or has
of any Of these articles directly or in
directly On chemical wood pulp a duty
of one-sixth of a cent per pound is pro-
vided OF the Unbleached article, and
one-fOurth of a cent per pound on the
bleached article, and in case of discrim-
inatiOn by the exporting country, these
duties are to be doubled.
The amendment to the paper para
graph consists of a provision. authoriz-
ing the doubling Of the duty on news
paper print paper in case Of discrimina-
ton. The paper is valudd at cents a
pound or less, and, according to the
terms of the bill, is made dutiable at the
rate of five-tenths Of a cent per pound
Explaining his amendments, Mr..
Brown said that under them wood pulp
would be admitted free but in case Of
discrimination on the part of the Do
miniOn of Canada or Of any Of its prov
inces. etc. upon proclamation Of the
president, duty could be applied. This
provision reversed the order Of proceed
ure as provided by the original COM
mittee amendment.
Both amendments were agreed to
without division.

MURDER Not Premeditated.

The mystery of just how Elsie Sigel
was killed was cleared up to some ex-
tent today with the announcement of ths
reports from the COrOner's autopsy sup
porting in a way the belief that the
murder was not premeditated, but COM
mitted on the spur Of the moment by the
Jealousy -crazed Chinaman.
There is no confirmation of the state
ment made to the police by a clerical
friend of the Sigel family that Elsie ever
married Chu Gain. Icons rival. Police
Captain Calvin, who was detached last
night on a leave Of absence. returned to

LORD BERESFORD
HAS GRAVE FEARS
British Admiral Gives Views on
the Empire and the
Navy.
FIVE FLEETS NECESSARY
VARIOUS DoMiNloNs SHOULD AS
SYST MOTHER COUNTRY.

London, June 26.-Admiral Lord
Beresford was the principal speaker. at
the closing meeting this morning Of the
imperial press conference, and gave his
views on the question Of the empire and
the navy.
1t is impossible" he declared, TO
maintain a two-power standard unless
the dOminions come in and assist"
The speakers general plan for an EN-
pire navy, as outlined in his speech,
contemplates distinct fleets for each five
nations Of the empire, Great Britain,
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and
South Africa. These fleets should be
mobile, able to protect trade and capa-
bic of being turned quickly into Offense
weapons. There should be standardiza-
ton, interchange Of officers as well as
interchange of ships, and repairing sta
tons should be established throughout
the empire.
BY some extraordinary mad infatu-
alton for which 1 am quite unable to
account" said Lord Beresford, the re-
pairing stations upon which we have
spent SO much money have been dis
mantled."
Work for the Colonies.
Continuing, the admiral suggested
ltdL the QOmliilOHS COulu dSSlSL greatly
this general plan by rebuilding and re-
equipping these abandoned naval bases.
In the event of war all the fleets of
the empire would have to act under a
central strategical bureau, which would
have to be established by the admiral
ty. At the same time there must be no
hint Of the domination of the home gov
eminent during normal times. The
speaker then cOntended that the grave
warnings uttered by various statesmen
proved that they knew the empire to be
unprepared for war. This anxiety was
emphasized by the offers of Dread
naughts from colonial governments, and
the fact that the colonies are reCOgniz-
ing the unpTeparedness of the navy he
regarded as the severest possible con-
demnation Of the imperial policy of de-
Tense.
In conclusion, Lord Beresford said he
believed the primary object of all ma
tons at the present moment was peace,
and that if the British empire was prop
erly prepared there would be no war.
Rebuked by w. T. Stead.
Lord Beresford's reference to the alb
sence Of a strategicai bureau at the ad-
miralty called out a sharp rebuke from
w. T. Stead, who declared that no man
should use his position in society or his
popularity in the newspapers to intrigue
against and Willy a man admiral Sir
John Fischer, whom the king and two
successive ministries had placed in Of
flee. He said he was sure that in his
wiser moments Lord BeresfOrd would
recognize the imprOprietory of a state
ment calculated to shake the confidence
of the colonies in Great Britain's ability
to govern the empire.
