deepest mourning, her attractive ies.
turo completely hidden by her black
crepe veil, Mrs. Grover Cleveland, widow
of the former president, arrived at the
criminal court at 0:30 today tn testify for
the prosecution in the trial of Broughion
Brandenburg, the magazine writer, who
is accused OF having sold a spurious ar
ticle on William Jennings Bryan and
the democratic party to the New York
Times, during the campaign of last year
and which Brsndburg alleged was writ
ten by Mr.. Cleveland. The widow OF
the former president was primarily re-
sponsible for the articles being charac-

mOny is completed, Mrs. Cleveland will
90 to her summer home in New England

postponed until murder cases pending
are disposed of. The charge against
Brandenburg is grand larceny in the
second degree, in having obtained $500
from a newspaper under false pretenses. "

Cardinal Andfieu Dafisnt.

Bordeaux, June ga serious clash
between the Catholic church and the
stats is one of the possib Titles of the
dthant attitude OF Cardinal Andrieu, who
refuses to recognize the aut hority Of the
civil Law to punish him on a charge of
melting breath OF the law in his eI :
thronement address.
The cardinal capped the climax OF
his defiance today, with he following
letter which be wrote to the judge with
regard to the separation law
"That law became non existent for
Catholics the minute their pupreme
chief, the incompatible gu srdiau OF the
morals of individuals aud nations, con-
demued it as inimical to the property,
authority aud liberty OF the church"
Cardinal Andrea refusds to answer
the summons to appear at the trial, and
the authorities are debating what to do.
They do not want to see the civil lew set
aside, but it is feared that any inter-
ference with the cardinal will stir up
bitter strife.

Sixty-first Congress.
Washington, June Is.
SENATE.


Two changes were made, with the APP
provsl of the finance committee, in the
Philippine paragraph of the tariff bill
when it came mp In the Senate today.
The amount of filler tobacco that may
come 10 free was reduced from 500 600
pounds to 1000, 900, and the number OF
cigars was reduced from 100. 900 to
20, 900, 900. Responding to question
by Senator Bacon as to the loss OF reve-
nue. that might be involved by the ad-
mission Of 20, 600, 600 cigars from the
Philippines free OF duty, Mr.. Aldrich
declared that this was not question OF
revenue. 1t was simply a recognition
of our obligations to the Filipinos and
an effort to give them aid and assistance.
he considered it the duty of every sens-
tor to do everything possible to encour-
age those people who were under the
United States flag and inhabitiug United
States territory; to develop their indus
tries and to put them on the road to
seli-goveFnment.
Senator Bacon declared That statement
WAS not consistent With the vote which
he (Aldrcb) had cast yesterday against
the amendment proposed By Senator
Stone promising Independence for the
Philippines in ! 5 years Mr.. Bacon said
that the republican attitude was to pat
off independence to sometime In the In
defoite future aud meanwhile go ahead
and tighten the bonds which bound them
to this country. 10 opposing the action
of the finance committee in accepting
reduction 10 the number Of cigars which
are to be admitted free from The Philip
pines, Senator Root of New York made
an impassioned appeal for justice to the
Filipino.
NJ La Foll0tte's amendment to limit
The imporlaiions Of free cigars from the
Philippines to 10000, 900 was lost q to
9S. Eight republicans aud the demo-
Gratis voted for the amendment. The
SUBJECT was then laid aside temporarily.
An exhaustive review of the pending
tariff bill snd vigorous protest sgsinst
the practice of the veterans 10 hazlng
new memt ers were the chief points 10 an
interesting speech delivered by Senator
Oxen. He would not vote for the Al
drich bill, he said, because it WAS a
MEASURE TO protect monopOlisIs at the
expense of every class OF consumers.
"The bill should not pass because 1t
is contrary to the will of the American
people," he declared. "rhey were
promised reduction by both parties
He criticised the finance committee for
having failed to furnish information as
to the cost of production in this country
and abroad and for refusing to permit
the democrats to assist in framing the
bill.
With the statement that the Senate
was controlled by Senators Hale ADD
Frye, OF Maine; Lodge, of Massacbu-
sets; Aldrich, of Rhode Island, and
Gsliuger, of New Hampshire, who rep
resent less than per cent of the Amer
lean people, Mr.. Oven said: "rhis

practice of hazing new members of this
body and treating their views as nm

Wants Naval Armsments Restricted

st. Petersburg, June l5.-There is
excellent authority today for the state
ment that in the forthcoming meetings
between the car and several other
European rulers he will urge the re-
striction of future naval ornaments. The
real purpose of the czsr in thus seeking
to check The tremendous growth Of naval
power is not Humanitarian, as might
appear on the face, but springs, accord
ing to several high officials, from his
knoeledge that Russia cannot hope to
keep pace with the present programmes
of Eogland, Germany and France. Un-
less the mad race for Dreadnonghts" is
checked, the cabinet realizes that Russia
must remain a more or less passive
participant in the game OF international
policies, utterly unable to compete in a
naval way with the other European
pOWers.

THE Providence Journal, published a.
the home of Senator Aldyich, remarks;
"The prelext that the increased duties
are to be laid upon luxuries is as insincere
as the rest of the protectionist blsrney.
To call cotton cloth, which costs irac'
ton more than seven cents yards lux
ury is a pslpsble absurdity." The Jour
nal used to be owned by mill owners, and
may be yet, but if its ownership hSs
changed, it remains true that the great
commercial interests of Providence and
vicinity are the manufacture of cotton
aud wool, and the wooden manufacturers
understand perfectly the need Of cheap
materials. The wool duties are OF very
little benefit to the farmers, AZ is proved
by the decsdence of wool growing east Of
the Mississippi. They are only import
ant to the big sheep ranch owners OF
the public land in the western states
and territories, and the men who pasture
their sheep on the public domain do not
need tariff protection.

TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 10, 1909.

THOUGH Senator Dolliver suffered In
variable defeat In the Senate last week,
his splendid efforts for the sort OF tsrin
revision that the country was promised
by the Chicago platform and by Candl-
date Taft on the stump will not be
wasted. He exposed in the most
thorough and relentless way the iniqui-
ties of the Aldrich bill and drove home
every moment his charge that the Dill
as framed by the finance committee is
one Of the most gigantic aud shameless
swindles ever attempted to be foisted
on the American people. He has MADE
IT more difficult for the president to ac-
cent the Aldrich bill in the shape in
which it will pass the Senate unless the
president is willing to stand before the
country as one of the most spineless and
unworthy men that ever filed the office
of chief executive. After the mercilesS
exposure by Senators Dolliver, La Fol-
lette and Cummins of the exorbitanl
increases in rates provided by Mr.. Al
drich in the cotton, wooden and other
schedules, it will be utterly impossible
for the president to make any claim
that he is in ignorance of the fact that
the bill is q fragrant violation OF the
Chicago platform pledges and his own
personal pledges given on the stump
when he was seeking the votes of the
