A Diocese Of Six Hundred Islands.
= Standard and Times.

From the Catholic Standard and Times.
In view of the reports of the alarming
illness of Bishop Hendricks of the do
cese of Cebu. Philippine Islands, il is
interesting 10 recall a statement made by
the Rev. Joseph Casey. United States
Army chaplain:
Bishop Hendricks diocese" said Chap
lain Casey, lis probably the largest and
most scattered of all the doeeses i'm the
philippines. He has undoubtedly five
or six hundred different islands to look
after. principally the islands of Cebu
Bohol Leyte, Samar. Surigao and a large
portion OF the island of Mindanao. Fur.
thermore. the island of Guam about six
days journey from the Philippine Is
lands. is under the jurisdiction of the
Bishop of Cebu, and. In order that he
may visit ii. il is necessary for him to
60 from Cebu to Manila to japan tn
the United States to Honolulu and final
ly to Guam. journey OF about sixty
days. AS you can easily understand, the
poor Bishop of Cebu is generally on the
go. and very little. of his time can be
spent in the episcopal residence in the
city OF Cebu. In fact. he told me that
he makes biennial visitation to the
different parishes of his diocese and
that even to do this IL Is necessary for
him to travel every year by boats, which
are unfit for any white man to travel
from Honolulu to New York city

THE Payne tariff bill, over which the
House Wrsngled for so many weeks, wss
carried over to the Senate on Saturday,
and was Immediately given a decent
burial by being referred to the Senate
6naoce committee. That is the last Of
the Payne bill, for Senator Aldrich has
already prepared new bill, and the
Senate finance committee today reported
1t to the Senate practically as ssubstitute
for the Payne bill. Mr.. Aldrich and
his finance cOmmitise completed the
Sspate bill S ,turdsy night, but Senator
Aldrlch announced that in reporting the
bin he would make certain reservations
on important schedulesi or future action
These reservations will include hides,
steel rails, wood pulp and crude petrol
cum, Chairman Aldrich asserted Satur'
day night tbst the SeDate committee had
made q more general revision Of rates
THAI was done by the House committee
on ways and means, aud that reductions
in schedules had been made on far
greater number of articles. This did
not mean that there would be a reduc-
tiou OF revenues, but that there would
be recommended bona fde revision

Sixty-first Congress.
Washington, April IL.
SENATE,

The tariff bill, as amended by thu
Senate finance Committee, was reported
TO the Senate by Senator AldFich ion.
medisLely after the reading of the journ.
nal was concluded In the Senate today.
Mr.. Aldrich said that 1t was a report
from the majority of the committee tc
which the minority members dissented.
In representing 1t he accompanied it
with the request that when the Senate
adjourned today 1t should be to meet on
Thursday. This was in order to give
the democrats aud senators generally
who are not membess Of the finance
committee az opportunity to scqusint
themselves with the provisions OF the
measure.
Senator Daniel, Bacon, BaIleyfaud
Oulberson, of the democrats, took oc.
caslon to register their protest against
the fact that the minority members Of
the committee had had no chance to
examine the bill nor to listen to the ex.
pert statements of witnesses on the
several schedules.
Mr.. Aldrich said that, having In view
the interests Of the country which de-
manded quick action on the tariff, the
dajorItY members had concluded that IL
would be much better to have the dis.
cussion take place on the floor rather
than In committee. In response to
question Mr.. Aldrich said that he was
having prepared a statement as to the
probable revenues to be derived from the
various schedules and this he hoped to
submit with his remarks on Thursday.
