La Toilette Amendment Lost.

that if the Filipinos instead of weaving
mats were weaving cotton cloth by mod

have been so ready to admit free of duty

tested against the admission OF Manila
cigars and said it would injure the
American cigarmakers
Senator Dick caused to be read tele-
gram from the Ohio Leaf Tobacco Pack
ers Association protesting against the
admission of Philippine tobacco free. Sen
ator Clapp Of Minnesota rose TO voice
protest against the admission OF this to-
bacco in the name OF the several thou
sand cigar workers who are out of work

Senator Dick said that 1900 idle cigar
makers are petitoning Congress to protect
them against cheap oriental labor. Sena-

Sugar Debate Last Night.
Sugar occupied the attention of the
Senate to the close of the session last
night. The Philippine amendment to the
tariff bill. allowing the free importation of
300 900 tons of sugar annually from the
islands, was The particular subject around
which the controversy turned.
Senators Clapp of Minnesota and Bris-

in a mighty lively colloauy. in which the
chief point at issue was President Tafts
views on the Philippine sugar question.
The two insurgent republicans had just
claimed that the admission of free sugar
from the islands would be more beneficial
to the American Sugar Refining Company
than anybody else. and that another pro-
vision Of the amendment would force the
FilpiEos 10 buy their refined sugar from
the same company.

University Removal and Oldham State Capitol Bills the Chief Talk
 Makers.

Little Rock. April 29.-The house this morning passed the Witt state uniform text book bill and creating state text book commission. It has been in the house three months. Its passage by the senate is doubtful. It al- so passed the bill creating the Arkansas Vicksburg military park commission to locate the position of Arkansas Confederate com- mands in the Vicksburg siege and place markers.
 It spent the balance ot the morning discussing the removal of the State university from Fay etteville to Little Rock.
 Hurst, of Washington, spoke for an hour against the bill and was still speaking at the noon re- cess. He asserts the state has pledged it's ''faith and credit" 10 maintain the institution forever at Fayetteville.

FOR NEW FREIGHT RATES
Railroad Men and Commissioners Agree on the Main Points Of
 New Schedule.

Little Rock, April 29.--The general outline of the new tariff having been worked out, the con- ference of the railroad commis- sion and the railroad officials was adjourned yesterday until later date. With little difficulty the remainder of the tariff was gone over at the meeting yesterday and agreed upon. There remains a great deal of detail work yet. At the conference only the rates be- tween certain points and for cer- tain distances were agreed upon. It will be necessary for the com mission and the traffic depart- ments of the different roads to work out the rates for intermed- fate points and distances. It will take some time to complete this work. after which another meet iug will be held. Then the tariff as a whole will be presented and gone over.

BASEBALL SERMON
Compares National Game to Life, and Says that Little Hit in Time
 May Mean Much.

Spokane, Wash, April 2e.- Rev. Dr. William J. Hindley, minister of the gospel and fan, preached a baseball sermon to his flock in Pilgrim Congregational church at the opening of the lea que season in Spokane, speak ing of life as a confirmed rooter would expound the rules of the game. He talked of the battery, fielders, basemep, coaches, um- pire and the man at the bat, say ing among other things:
 "For the sake of .he team and for the sake of the game, stand up to the plate. If you can't line out home run, maybe you can drop a Texas leaguer back of second that will do almost as much good. But bend every ef- fort to meet the ball and not to fan out when there are men on the bases waiting to score.
 "There may be two or three men on bases, with two men out and two strikes against the bats man in the last half ot the ninth. You've seen the situation right here in Spokane. Your hit, which may seem small thing in itself, will mean victory for some enc, while your failure to con- meet with the ball results in de- feat for the others as we'll. Fight until the last man is out, God Almighty doesn't like a quitter.
 II am a patron of baseball be- cause I like the game, because 1t affords relief from the nerve-rack- ing tensions of business, and be- cause we have no American sport that is so absolutely free from taint. If it is to be kept clean the good people must line up in front of the gate, and those Tn charge must be made to see that they have to reckon with the bet ter class.
 s'If there is any man in the world who has my entire sympa- thy it is the umpire. He IS ostra- cised by the players and regarded with suspicion by the public and, I think, uujustly. l believe he deserves more consideration, because he IS on top of the play all the time and knows whats goin on every minute of the game"

HAMPER GETS FEE
House Decides He Was Real Governor While Pindall Was Gone Had
 Right to Assume Reins.

Little Rock, April 2S The house of representatives this morning officially declared that, Allen Hamiter, former speaker cf the house, and who created an executive uproar h the spring of 1908 by assuming the reins as governor during the absence of Acting Governor Pindall at Washington at the Roosevelt cou- ference. and who created a fur ther stir by calliEg an extra sss- sion of the legislature, was act ing clearly within his right when de assumed such duties, and al- lowed the item of $66 for bis services.
 A fight was made on the item by some, who insisted that he trauscended his legal right and was never governor. Heartsill, i, Martin and others declared It was his duty to assume the governor $ chair when the acting governor leIt the state.
 "The states interests were too important to be left to take care of themselves while the acting governor was off on hilarious trip to Washington" said Martin.
 HeartsIll said an extra session should have gone ahead and built the new capitol instead of lug ging the matter on the regular session.
 The house passed the resolu- ton limiting debate to one ten minute speech by each member on each bill.

FOUL PLAY FEARED
Detective From Gatesville, Texas, In- vestigating Disappearance of Man
 Under Suspicious Circumstances

Hot Springs, April 28.-- Be- lievlng that there might have been foul play ia the mysterious disappearance of c. A. Ellis, bank director of Gatesville, Tex. and prominent in Masonic circles of that state, officers and special detectives are tonight conducting quiet investigation here, while meu are dragging the Ouschita river for the body.
 Ellis is the man whose vest containing some money, gold watch and chain, and a Knight Templar's charm was found on the banks of the Ouachita river near here yesterday. Ellis lett his hotel Sunday and has not beer seen since. Relatives, ln Belten, Texas, the Bank of Gates vile and the Masonic order 10 which he belonged have wired re- wards for the body, dead or alive. and instructions for a thorough seaach, in which no expense is to be spared.
 Ellis came here about three weeks ago, went to large hotel first, and later to a smaller one. He was of a quiet disposition, and it is not known that he formed acquaintauces here. He was small in size, aud wore a large diamond in his shirt front. He was apparently well supplied with money though his relation ship with the Bank of Gatesville was not known until messages were received here today.
 It is stated at the hotel where he lived that he lett Sunday for his home, but it was on Monday morning that his vest was found. His trunk had been taken away.
 The special officers who have taken up the case tonight believe that it is a case of being decoyed to the river and drowned by per sons who had acquainted them selves with his financial affairs, and who left across country after the. drowning.

GET NO TRACE OF Q. A. ELLIS
Detectives Say He Bought Ticket to
 Longview, Texas.

Hot Springs, April 2S.--That Quincy A. Ellis, a banker of Gatesville, Tex, and prominent in Masonic circles, left Hot Springs Sunday night ou the SIS afternoon train, after purchasing a ticket to Longview, Tex, is the report tonight of special detect ives who have been on the case.
 Ellis is the man whose vest, gold watch and chain and Knight Templar charm were found on the banks of the Ouachita ry T Monday, with the suposition ih t he had either been accidentally y drowned or had met foul play.
 From long-distance advices here Ellis has not been heard of by relatives and the last trace of him is when at the depot he bought a ticket and boarded train for Texas. There is yet no explana- ton why the vest and other ar- ticles should have been found on the river bank five miles from this city. The gold watch was a very valuable one and the charm inscribed gave the officers a clue to the identity of the owner.
