TOEND BROWNSVILLE DISPUTE
Senator Foraker VIII Ask Final
Vote To-day.
Democrats Are Opposed TO Any Set
clement that VIII Lessen Eff
feet of Dismissal.

Determined 70 settle the Brownsville
so far as the Senate is concerned. SEN
ato- Foraker will bring up his bin to-day
and call for final vote.
The Ohioan had decided 10 ask a roll
call on the measure Monday. but he was
confronted with the opposition that the
Democratic vote would be solidly against
his proposition for re-enlistment of the
discharged negro soldiers.
Leaders of the Senate have framed a
measure which IS said to be suitable
both to Mr.. Foraker and the admfnistra-
ton. but the Democratic members Of the
Upper House are threatening to delay
the compromise
Despite this setback. Senator Foraker
has been busily engaged in mastering
up sufficient Republican votes to enable
him to leave the minority entirely out Of
his plans
The two bills now pending before the
Senate provide for the re-enIistment of
the negro troops under certain conditions.
Senator Warmers measure leaves the
matter lE the uaNUS OF the PRESIDENT.
while Mr. Foraker's plan is to have a
board Of army officers decide upon each
application.
The measure. which is said to have
been approved by the President and the
Ohioan. provides for the creation Of q
commission which shall investigate each
application and then submit its report TO
the Secretary Of War for review
Democrats and the attitude assumed by
them during The whole affair, the mi
nority bell that the negro troops
did shoot % the town Of Brownsville,
and II win oppose any effort to lessen
the effect Of the Presidents summary
dismissal OF the soldiers.
Inasmuch as he viii leave the Senate
On March 4, Senator Foraker is anxious
to bring UP the question and have the
matter amicably adjusted before that
date.

HOPE FOR TIE REVISIONISTS
Representative Perkins Says Tariff
VIII Be Reduced.
Declares America Can Compete with
Any Nation on Earth IN
Manufactures.

Hope for tariff reformers who want the
tariff lowered was given in a speech in the
House yesterday by Mr.. Perkins. Of New
York. though Mr. Perkins may have been
bUoyed by hope himself, Is he is an orig
inal downward revision;st and insistent
in his declarations that the Republican
party pledges must be kept
The remarks Of Mr.. Perkins may also
have been a diplomatic notice 10 the ma
jority Of the Ways and Means Commit
tee that there were men on their side OF
the House who would stand oaly for one
kind OF a tariff bin, that being one that
lowered the tariff
Everything comes to him who waits
and tariff revision is a. last undertaken. -
said Mr. Perkins. 1T is not only un-
dertaken. but il is undertaken. I think,
with an understanding that the new tariff
bin will not be an evasion Of party
pledges. but viii seek to readjust our
revenue laws to changed commercial con-
ditiOns-
1T has sometimes been suggested that
tariff revision might mean a revision up.
II any one ever entertained such a hope
or such a purpose, Il has now been dis
PEELED. and SO far as there IS a revision.
i will be a revision downward
No country on the earth can compete
with Us as a manufacturing nation We
have great natural resources. great inven-
tive talent. and unequaled manual labor.
BY natural process We have become the
greatest OF manufacturing nations
We have eighty millions Of people. and
we have potential facilities Of production
that would furnish the articles OF use
and desire TO eight hundred millions of
people We cannot continue a great CON-
mercial nation unless we can sell in for
eign markets as we'll as home markets,
and 10 increase our present hold OF the
worlds market, 10 obtain a hold upon
new markets, We must compete with the
rest of the world
The cost Of a manufactured article,
roughly speaking, depends upon two
things, the cost of the material which
gees into Il, and the cost of the labor
bestowed upon the material in order to
turn it into the manufactured product.
The lead, the coal. and the iron that
are taken from our mines are consumed
and by 50 much the resources OF the
country are forever diminished.
The duty on lumber seems 10 De Pc
culiarly defeuselesS. OF hardly any other
article can it be said that the increased
cost falls on so many and the benefit
Is reaped by so few. The greater part
OF the timber land in this country be-
longs 10 a few rich men or a few rich
corporations.

NRW PLAN FOR POSTAL BANKS
May Deposit Savings Funds in State
Institutions.
Believed This VIII Satisfy OpPosi-
tiOn Forces Who Feared Loss
to Their Business.

An amendment to the postal savings
bank plan proposed by Postmaster Cen
eral Meyer that IS expected to allay the
opposition Of Western State banks to
postal savings banks was suggested by
Mr.. Meyer yesterday AT a hearing on the
proposition before the House Committee
on Post-ofEices and Post Roads.
Western State banks are opposed to
postal savings banks on the ground that
they would result in the withdrawal Of
large sums Of money from them. The
Postmaster General announced that he
had no objection to Incorporating in the
bin framed by him an amendment au-
,horizing the deposit Of funds Of postal
savings IN State banks that were con-
Quoted under a provision guaranteeing
double liability in the event OF failure, as
in the case Of national banks.
The Postmaster General strongly urged
the committee 70 report the postal saw
ings bank bill lie laid special stress
upon the point that such institutions
would prove helpful rather thar detri-
mental to the interests OF national banks.
The postal savings banks. he said
would draw money now hid away in
stockings and old stoves, and il could be
placed in the channels Of trade through
the agency Of national and other banking
institutions.
Last year, he said. 50. Go1000 was sent
TO Italy by aliens who. from ignorance.
had no confidence in American banks
In the same period SS00o.OO0 was tied up
in money orders by foreigners VINO feared
TO trust the banks
Government postal savings banks he
believed. would attract money that is
now sent abroad or tied up in such a
way as TO make it inaccessible for use
in trade or in times Of emergency.
