THE CONSTITUTION.

Constantinople, May 20 The mer7-
bers of the chamber of deputies took
oath this afternoon in the presence Ct
the sultan to uphold the constitution

the presidential tribune. He then
handed his speech to the grand

AUTOMOBILE STRIKES
OLD MAN
II. A. AMlRAUx, WHILE STAND
ING ON BRIDGE, is HIT
BY MACHINE.

What might have been a fatal acct
dent befell H. A. Amiraux last night
at the north end of the temporary
bridge, when he was struck by an au-
tonohile operated by l.. n. Simons.
He WAS not badly hurt, however, but
was taken in the machine to the Of
flee of DR.. Fl. c. Smith, where his
bruises We're attended to.
Mr.. AmirauX, who is a man aged
about 70 years, was standing, along
with a couple of others, in the road
way on the north end of the bridge.
He had just been looking at a jam
above the bridge and was talking to
his companions, when he was struck
by the machine, which was coming
from the south. He was knocked sew
eral feet, sustaining only a few
bruises and minor cuts, so that he
considers himself lucky. Mr.. Simons
claims that he blew his horn.
7 Mr.. Amiraux is rather deaf. and says
that probably the horn was footed, but
he did not hear it. He is the father
in-laW of Chief of Police William
smith and Otis Worden, and is en-
ployed as night Waterman on the con-
struction work of the new Higgins
avenue bridge. After his bruises were
examined and dressed he returned to
his work.

DECLARES IN FAVOR
OF FREEDOM
PHILIPPINE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
GOES ON RECORD AS FAVOR
ING INDEPENDENCE.

Manila, May 2O.--With but slight
variation from it's action on final adj
journment Of the session of 1908 the
Philippine general assembly in the
closing hour of its session tonight
passed a second resolution declaring
in favor Of the independence Of the
islands. The last formalities with the
Philippine commission had been eX-
changed, and the statutory hour Of
adjournment had passed, when the
question was presented by Speaker
Osmena. He said that the policy of
the assembly was to work in harmony
with, and support the government in
all measures calculated to advance the
interests Of the Filipnos. Neverthe-
less the members should not abandon
their original aspiration for indepen-
dence, and, therefore, he moved that
the Filipino delegates to the congress
of the United States be instructed to
present the question to that body
when ever an opportunity was offered.
The members of the Progresista, or
minority party, asked permission to
abstain from voting, which was
granted. All the nationalists then
voted in favor of the resolution.
Harmony prevailed and practically
all the important legislation desired
by the government was enacted.
1t was decided to change the date OF
the meeting of the Legislature from
the hot spring season to October
The total amount of the budget
passed is 10000 pesos.

SENATE DISCUSSES
TARIFF RATES
DUTIES ON QUEBRAcHE, WHITE
LEAD AND COTToNSEED OIL
ARE CONSIDERED.

Washington, May 20.-The senate to-
day distributed its attention among
the three items in the tariff bill pro-
viding duty on an extract of chest
nut bark used in tanning, known as
quebrache.> on cottonseed oil and on
white lead. On each of these articles
the senate was led by the committee
on finance, although the committee
was induced to change it's original
suggestions on both white lead and
cottonseed Oil
was originally a7s cents per pound, but
Mr.. Curtis, a member of the commit
tee. suggested a reduction of ls cent
pound, bringing the figure down to
2a cents, and Chairman Aldrich ac-
eepted tho reduction.
When the vote was taken the COM
mittee triumphed, the Curtis amend
ment carrying, Al to 49, AS usual
Senators Beverdge, Bristow, Brown,
Burkett, Clapp, Cummins, Dolliver
Gamble, La Toilette and Nelson voted
with the democrats. Senator Borah
voted with the republicans.
Probably the most interesting con-
test was over the duty on cottonseed
OIL Senator'S Tillman, Bacon and
Money fought the senate provision
fixing a tariff of 8 cents a gallon, on
the ground that it would injure the
sale of cottonseed, and after the con-
troversy had gone on for some time
Mr. Adrich withdrew the provision.
Mr.. La Toilette sought to reduce the
duty on quebrache to Il Of / cent a
pound, but his amendment was re-
jected 80 to SO.
Mr.. Daniel led the fight on the
higher rate, exciting much interest be-
cause of his advocacy of low duties
in the past. The committee had re-
duced the house rate and the Virginia
senator in whose state are several
quebrache factories, sought to have
that figure restored. He did not sue
coed, and the duty was fixed at V
cent per pound instead of 7s of / cent,
as he had proposed.
