Aoki was not on the train; this was
determined by a search by a railroad
secret service agent and by the Cen

The sympathy of the passengers on
the train and the train crew seemed
to be with the young woman. Three
newspaper men boarded the train at

this morning at Trinity parish church

parents and a countryman of Aoki,
A. Patterson and secretary to Rector
II. S. Gowen, who performed the GER

license, and hurried to Savoy hotel,
and was joined by the mother and
daughter, who then entered the car
riage and were driven to the church.
Excepting for three reporters in
the street in front, the church was
deserted, and there was no demon
stration of any kind as the ceremony
hurried. After he pronounced the
words linking the white girl with the
oriental, Rev. Gowan extended his
hand and wished the couple happi-
ness. Aoki thanked the rector and
the bride smiled. She appeared under

FEW CHANGES
BY SENATE
COMMITTEE SAID TO
HAVE FEW OBJECTIONS
Reports That the Senate Would En-
tirely Change Payne Tariff Bill Is
Denied-Aldrich Says They Will
Not Reverse the Maximum and Min
imum Features-Denies That Com
mittee Was Bribed on Philip
pine Duties.

Washington, March 27.-Contrary
to the general belief that the senate
finance committee would make enor-
nous changes in the Payne bill, COM
paratively few alterations have been
adopted as yet. In the majority of
cases the Dingley rates are restored.
So far, such harmony exists in repub-
lican membership that Aldrich today
denied the report that the commit
tee intended to reverse the maximum
and minimum features of the bill or
that the comittee was bribed to omit
provisions providing for the entry of
limited amount of Philippine sugar
and tobacco in separate measures.
According to the plans of the ways
and means committee leaders, the
house will vote on the bill April 10
or after. The plan for a republican
caucus is temporarily abandoned be-
cause it might result in a general dis
cussion of the bill.
Washington, March 27.-Represen-
tatives Harrison of New York, one
of the minority bolters and a new
of the ways and means COM
mittee, made a speech in the house
today, advocating tariff for revenue
only. Reference was made only once
to democrats.

San Francisco, March 27.-At the
Burlingame station south of here
when asked regarding business
Hartman said today THE farmer
is rich and is going to be richer.
This is satisfactory because many of
us depend upon the farmers conditi-
on, and prosperity depends upon the
manner in which money is invested.
There will be a financial depression
If the country has tendency to in
vest its money in inaccessible prop
erty, new railroads, and other
schemes making it difficult to callect
money on short notice"
Take the case of the fellow who
wants to discount note, or buy a
new stock of goods: he is going to
find it very hard if people to whom
he looks for financial aid have placed
their money IN inaccessible places"
Hartman announced he would leave
here for the east tomorrow.
