which will be the test. Notices are be-
Ing sent out by the republican whip,
Dwight, for every republican member
Of the house to be in his seat Monday

leaders is that the rule will provide for
a separate vote in the house on the
lumber and hide schedules. The ways
and means committee will amend the
bill SO as to strike off the proposed
countervailing duty on coffee and the
duty on tea, and to restore the duty Of

fight for separate vote. 1t is proba-
BILE the rule will permit vote on the

Two of the larger houses, those OF

The strike came as II sort OF April
fool Joke OH the merchants. They had
offered to arbi;rate the differences
with the union. and did not believe
that the men would obey q strike or
der There has been no trouble in the
industry for the last six years, and the
merchants were inclined to believe
that the entire controversy would be
adjusted at conference hold yester-
day morning. They found the union
representatives firm In their demands
for fifty-four hour week all the
year.
The merchants offered to grant n
Saturday half-holiday for eight
months but insisted that while the fall
rush was on in September October.
November and December the men
would have to work full time. This
was met by proposition that they be
paid time and one-half for the over
time on Saturday afternoons, but the
merchants declared that would be an
increase in wages which trade condi-
tions did not warrant.

saloons closed.
The revocation petition was circu-

Washington, April 2-The system of
free trade which the Payne tariff bill
seeks to establish between the United

would cause a. decrease in the revenues
of the islands, and act upon the trusts
in such a way as to preclude the pos

the Fllipinos and voicing their senti-
ments, de Leon pleaded for such inde-

LUMBER DUTY TO COME OFF.
Probable Committee Will Change Tariff
eiIl Before Voting.

washington, April 2.-The ways and
means committee was in session today,
as usal, considering committee amend
ments to the tariff bill. 1t is under
stood definite announcement of the
results of it's deliberations will be made
at an early date. There is no doubt it
has been determined that there shall be
an open vote in the house on the prop
osition to take the duty off of lumber
and restoring hides to the dutiable list.
The prevailing opinion is that both
changes will be made. There is more
interest in the provision fixing the
countervailing duty on petroleum than
any other, and the canvassers are hav-
dng trouble in getting an agreement to
vote for the bill because of this pro-
vision than because of any other.
