Payne BILL PASSES HOUSE
Four Democrats Vote for Bill and One Republican
Against It---Deep Interest Taken in Final
Vote and Republicans Make Joyous :.
Demonstration Over Result

After three weeks of consideration
tho Payne tariff bill was passed by
the House Of Representatives Friday
night by a vote of 217 to 161. One
Republican, Austin, Of Tennessee,
voted against the measure, and four
Democrats, all from 4 Louisiana,
Messrs. Broussard, Estopinal, Pujo
and Wickliffe voted for it.
An attempt made by Champ Clark,
the minority leader, to recommit the
bill with instructions was signally
defeated.
The day was filled with excitement
from the moment the session began
at noon until the last minute. The
members were keyed up to the high
est pitch and a practically full mem
bership remained on duty through
out. The final vote demonstrated the
capacity Of the Republican organiza.
tion to get together.
The general public was greatly in.
terested in the proceedings and the
galleries were packed. Both the
diplomatic and executive reservations
likewise were fully occupied, one Of
the conspicuous observers being Mrs
Taft, wife of the President.
When the bill actually was passed
the Republican cheered Justify
some dancing up and down the aisle.

House, like the Ding1ey bill when it
went to the Senate, places hides on
the free list. Under the Dingley law,
hides have produced a revenue ex-
ceeding $3,0OO,OOO annually.
The Payne bill differs from the
Dingley| law in the maximum and
minimum retaliatory feature, the ad-
ditional method of valuation for the
purpose Of preventing under valua-
tions and its provision for the $4O,-
1000 issuance Of Panama bonds
and $25,000,OOO issue of Treasury
certificates. It extends the draw
back privileges. An inheritance tax,
which should bring in $2O,0O0,0O0, is
provided for. The internal revenue
law should produce 100000 addi-
! tional revenue because Of the increase
in the tax Oh cigarettes.
Two Prominent Increases.
| The two increases over the Dingley
rates that stand out most prominent
~ in the Payne, bill are those in the
rates on women's and children s
gloves and hosiery. Cocoa, now i'm
ported free, has been made dutiable
at 3 cents per pound. Unmanufac-
tured mica has been reduced one cent
per pound and the manufacturers of
| mica have a duty levied upon them 2
cents per pound less than the Ding
ley rates. The duty on unmanufac-
tured barytes has been doubled.
| The Payne bill contains many re-
ductions from the Dingley rates of
duty The duties on lead ! ore and
pig lead are materially reduced,
while the lumber schedule is cut in
half. The differential on refined SUI
gar is reduced cents per 100 pounds
Cotton seed oil and tallow are placed

HITCHCOCK FEELS BIG STICK
Roosevelt Aroused Over the Chairman
Meddling in Oregon Affairs.

Believing that the election by the
people of Oregon of Governor George
e. Cham berlain, Democrat, to the
Office of United States senator should
be ratified by the state lgisIature'
President Roosevelt has locked horns
with Frank Bite hcook, chairman of
the National Republican committee.
Hitchcock is reported to have taken
steps to use his power as national chair
man to aid Charles ". Fulton. Rep
ublican, to induce legislators pledged
to Cham berlain to break their agree
ment and return him to the senate.
The president recently put himself
on record in favor of Cham mberlain,
when, on the occasion of the governors
visit to Washington he greeted him as
governor and senator-to- be" and add
ed that while Cham berlain was a
democrat and he would prefer to see
a republian elected, he believed the
legislature should bow to the will of
the people.
This statement was made in the most
public way, in the presence OF a
uumber of governors and senator's. and
was locked upon as ending all chance
of Fultons securing support in his
fight.
The Fulton forces, under the direc-
ton of S. G. Beach of Portland refused
to accept the presidents rebuff as a
final and appealed to Hitchcock, with
a certain degree of success.
When the president heard of this
he is said to have Eeen somewhat
ruffled, and it is known that he and
the national chairman have since held
several stormy conferences.

NORTH POLE BELONGS
TO UNITED STATES
SAYS TAYLOR
BY Right of Discovery Vast
Waste of Ice Will Be
Under Old Glory.

WASHINGTO, Sept. 3.-Dr. HannlS
Taylor. an authority on international
law stated that in his opinion the Unit
ed States may now claim ownership to
the north pole by right of Cooks dis
covery. Admitting that such a move
would be without precedent until the
discovery is verified. he said the princi-
pies recognized in the discovery of land
could now be applied in the polar re-
giOn.
When asked whether the government
can claim the 10000 square miles of
land Cook claims he has discovered,
Assistant Secretary of State McAdee
said:
1T is a question that undoubtedly
will come before the law officers de-
partment 1t is a question of whether
the government will care to claim the
land in the vicinity of the pole.'
