PHILIPPINE ISLANDS MERCHANTS
AGAINST RECIPROCAL FREE TRADE

Manila, March 22.-Officials of the in
sular government, members of the Phil
ippine assembly and others in close
touch with the affairs of the Philippine
government, are seriously concerned
over the loss in revenues which will re-
suit from the establishing of reciprocal
free trade between the islands and the
United States under the provisions of
the Payne tariff bill. 1t is feared that
the deficit for the first year, due TO the
decrease in customs revenues, will ap-
proximate 100000 pesos Cs2,5O0.OO0),
and that it viii increase from year to
year with the growth of American inn
ports. If these closer trade relations
with the United States restore the
islands to prosperity, it will become
possible later to impose direct taxation
to cover the deficiencies. In the mean
time, it is feared that the Philippines
will suffer seriously during the read
justment period, and that the govern
ment will be forced, in all proba bility,

INDIANS DYING OFF.
Consumption Threatens Extinction
of the Red Man,

Washington, March 21.-The red man is
gradually disappearing through the raw
ages of tuberculosis.
To save the Indian race from extinction
by this disease and yet lead it into the
ways of the white man, IS the task which
officials of the bureau of Indian affairs
have undertaken
When the white man undertook to civil
lie the Indian. tuberculosis was almost
unknown among the race. Today the In
dams are dying off at the rate OF approx
iInately 600 per aunum. Of all the tribes
none seem to be so susceptible as the
Sioux Indians in South Dakota. Last year
nearly I .090 members of this tribe was af-
fIicted They live in Unsanitary surround
ings.

dian the value of sanitat ton. personal

BOILERS OFFER
AN EXPLANATION
Statement Issued by Three Al
legged Democrats Who
Aided Cannon.

Washington, March 2l.-Another expla-
nation was forthcoming today as to the
course of certain Democrats in opposing
Minority Leader Clark last Monday by
voting for the Fitzgerald amendments to
the house rules.
Representatives keliher and Peters of
Massachusetts and Representative Fran
els Burton Harrison Of New York issued
a statement in which they assert that so
generally has the action of the Demo-
Gratis who voted for the amendments been
misrepresented and misunderstood, they
wish to present TO those interested the
facts.
The Fitzgerald amendments are defend
ed as being very effective in4the curtail-
ment of power of the speaker For six
months Mr.. Fitzgerald, acknowledged the
best paTliamentarian on the Democratic
side, had been preparing the amendments,
it is said, but no opportunity was offered
to bring them before the Democratic eau
Gus for consideration. He was unable to
do so because of the high-handed manner
adopted by a few ill-advised friends of

been paid. This is to be effective where
the goods are consigned or in cases
where such merchandise is not actually
sold and freely offered for sale in the
oDen market of the country of expOr-
tation. This, it is said, will do away
with the present provision Of the so
called German agreement affecting ex-
port prices.
The law in regard to the marketing
of articles of foreign manufacture is
made much more drastic.
The seizing point of goods that have
been undervalued is changed from so
per cent to 100 per cent of the under
valuation.
The final power of the general ap-
praisers to act on questions of appraise-
ment is strengthened, and their decision
as to value is made final and conclu-
sive, and not subject TO review except
as to questions Of fraud and want of
jurisdiction.

to abandon many of the important
works it has undertaken
Governor General Smith has commu-
nicated with Secretary of War Dickin-
son, expressing his views on the tariff,
and declaring it as his opinion that the
iusular government would be seriously
crippled financially by the operations
Of the Payne bill.
The consideration of the tariff quCs-
ton is having 4 marked effect on local
business conditions Virtually all fu-
ture engagements of an important ma
ture are being postponed, as importers
are without any basis of calculation. It
is expected that this situation will con-
tinue until the provisions Of the new
Philippine tariff bill now being drafted
are made known.
Philippine merchants express a strong
desire for the pOstpOnement of the en-
torcement of the Payne bill, at least
with respect to the Philippines, for a
sufficient length of time to allow them
to adjust their business ARRANGEMENTS
to the new conditions.

Washington, March 21.-The admin
istrative feature of the new tariff bill
is receiving the earnest attention of the
treasury officials.
An important change proposed in the
new bill is the method to be adopted
i'm certain cases in finding market value
upon which to assess ad vslorem duties.
In the present law, the treasury de-
partment, when it is unable to find the
market value in the country of origin
of the goods, is permitted to make such
value by finding the cost of production
and adding thereto an arbitrary amount
ysoE profit.
The proposed plan in a way turns
this system around. It takes the whole
sale selling price in the United States,
and deducts from the estimated duties
thereon the cost of transportation, in
surance and moving expenses from the
shipment to the place of delivery, and
a reasonable commission If such has
