LY WITH PAYNE MEASURE.
To Preserve to Islands as Much
Revenue as Possible Under
Changed Conditions.
(By United Press Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, d. c.,
April 15.-Declaring that it
is OF great Importance to the
welfare of the Philippines
that the tariff bill for the
islands be passed simultane-
Z ously with the Payne bill,
President Taft today sent
message to congress trans
mitting the proposed meas
ure, vNich had been prepared
unde. 9 direction of the
bureau insular affairs.
The mesA 2 states that the
bureaus props d measure revises
the law of the Philippines and
that revising che ,resent tariff
makes 1t conform as early as pos
stble with the regulations and
customs laws Of the United States
especially with respect to pack
ing and packages. In part, the
message says:
To Meet Conditions.
The purpose of the bill as
GRATED Is to meet new conditions
which will arise under the pend
ing Payne tariff bill. 1t is drawn
with the view Of preserving to the
islands as much customs revenues
az possible and to protect In a
reasonable emasure those indus
trf now existing in the islands. i"
tompanying the presidents
message was a letter from Sec
retary Dickinson. who admits his
own unfamiliarity with the sub
ject but transmits the recommen-
|dations of General Edwards, chief
Eof the bureau of insular affairs,
who says:
Change Absolutely Necessary.
BE it understood that the free
admission of American goods to
the Philippines must revolutionize
business there unless the adop-
tion of that policy is accompanied
by recvision of the present Phil
ippines tariff. 1t will be disas-
trous to some important indus
tries there and will result in such
serious loss to the customs rev.
enue as to embarrass the Philip
pines government
! The schedule relating to tobac-
co and sugar in the Philippines
measure is made Identical with
that in the Payne bill. General
Edwards states that all contend
ing interests are reconciled as far
as possible in the bill as present
led.
The Philippines tariff bill,
which was forwarded to CO.. rss
with the message, was intrt .dced
in the house this afternoon by
Con gressman Payne.

brought about after intense suf-
fering.
This is the second suicide case
reported from the asylum this

MARCH
ON CAPITAL
Army is Now Moving Toward Constan-
tinople- Latest Move in Turkish
Revolt is Mysterious
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
VIENNA, April 15.-Startling
news of the latest move in the
Turkish revolt was learned here
today when 1t was announced that
the second army corps of Turkey
is marching from Adrianople,
where it's headquarters are locat-
ed, toward Constantinople.
1t Is not known whether the
corps intends to join the mutt
neers, who arose against the new
form of government, or oppose
them. The second corps hereto
fore has been loyal to the Young
Turks, but 1t is believed here now
that it has Joined the opposition.
Censorship of the news coming
out of Turkey makes accuracy
impossible and 1t will probably be
days before the actual results of
the movement of the troops will
become known.
