PHILIPPINES VIEW OF TARIFF
FAVORED BY NATIONAL PARTY
AND NATIVE PAPERS.
Opposition to Payne Bill Inspired
by Alien Interests, Fearing
Loss Of Trade.

The insular bureau Of the War Depart
ment yesterday gave out the following
statement on the Philippine tariff pro-
vision of the Payne BILL
'The Iloilo and Pamganga papers IA
vor the Payne bill and the Spanish pa
pers are against the bill. with the excep-
ton of Libertas, which favors 1t. Several
OF the papers have changed front and all
OF them representing local native inter-
ests favor the bill.
THE nacionalista party claims that the
original intent of the resolution offered
by Senior Quezon was purely to call the
attention Of Congress to the fact that the
revenues Of the government would be
seriously affected. and the political tone
of the resolution was injected by the pro-
gresistas.
TWENTY-FIVE OF the larger tobacco
manufacturers urge the passage of the
Payne bill. Others are yet to be heard
from.
There is no question that all sugar and
tobacco growers in the Philippine Islands
desire the passage OF the Payne bill. They
claim that it fully carries out the petition
signed by two or three hundred thousand
Fiipinos, which is now In the files Of the
ways and means committee Of the House
of Representatives.
The action by the assembly is said to
have been inspired by foreign merchants
who feared that their trade would be
transferred to Americans"

May HAVE TO CARRY LUNCHES
SENATORS CAN GET NO ONE To
RUN RESTAURANT.
Office Building Dining Rooms Too
Swell and Risk Too Great to
Tempt Caterers.

The Senate has got itself into most
embarrassing fix. 1t has constructed in
its handsome new four-million dollar office
building the finest and most complete
kitchen. or series OF kitchens. anywhere
to be found. 1t has also fashioned beau
tiful marble dining rooms. And now not
a soul can be found who will think for
a minute OF running them and furnish
ing grub to the hungry senator's and their
clerks even at nice high prices.
This is passing strange. too. for all OF
the kitchens and dining rooms, with fur
niture SO complete and SO convenient that
cook and waiter scarcely have to do any
thing. are all free, as we'll as light, heat
electric power and fuel.
But still ii seems that everybody who
at the palatial quarters and then at the
busy RESTAURANT over in the Capitol build
ing. thinks of the lively little automobiles
that take people quickly from the office
building through the intervening space
by the subway. wishes the palatial quar-
tiers were on Broadway. or even Pennsyl-
vdnis avenue, and sadly shakes his head
NO money in it, say they all.
Now the question is. Will the Senate
decide to go into the lunchroom business
itself? 1t looks IL it will come either
to that or allowing the fine dining rooms
and kitchens to go to waste entirely. A
new committee might have to be Great ed
to run them, or else they could be handed
over to the committee on public health
some other similar committee that stands
around and looks pleasant to the folks
out home. but never does stroke OF
work OF any kind whatsoever

When the Spanish fleet finally set sail
to meet Sampson it went without any
plan of campaign having been agreed
upon by Cervera's superiors and against
the protests of all the feet captains. After
the war was over Cervera published a
book In which he included the communi-
cations which passed between himself and
his governments sort of apologize for not

Thoroughly familiar with Cuban waters.
Cervera managed TO elude the scouts OF
the United States government and get
into the harbor OF Santiago. There he
was bottled by Hobson and the Merrimac,
and when he attempted to escape his
ships were riddled with shells.
Cervera's services to Spain were recoS-
nzed after the war by his appointment
as chief of staff of the navy and as a
senator for life.

INIMICAL TO AMERICA.
Apprehension as to Franco-Cana-
dian Commercial Treaty.

PARIS, April 3.-Franco-A American bust
ness interests are apprehensive that the
ratification Of the Franco-Canadian COM
mercial treaty, which was adopted by the
senate April 1. will be followed by a com
plete readjustnient of Franco Canadian
trade, to the prejudice of American trade
in the French market and German trade
in the Canadian market AS finally adopt
ed the bill is more inimical to American
exporting interests than was the original
measure. 1t gives Canada an average of
81 ger cent on 80 articles i'm which the
United States comnetes. These include
agricultural and other machinery, type
writing machines, lean cattle. bacon, ham,
timed meats. fish, furniture, ETC. Canada
gives France the minimum rate on wines
and the entire list Of french articles OF
luxury on which the Payne bill increases
the rates.
The government has authorized NJ. JUS

ington, to make representations regarding
the petition drafted by the Federation Of
Industry and Commerce. in which the
French objections to the Payne tariff bill
are set forth.

NON-CoNFORMIST HEAR HIM.
Church of England Clergyman at
Odds With Superior.

Special Cablesram to The Star.
LONDON, April "a peculiar situation
has arisen between the Bishop Of Bir-
mingham and Canon Henson, rector OF
the fashionable London Church Of st.
Margaret, and the Canon of Westminster.
Mr.. Henson accepted an invitation to
preach in a non-conformist chapel at
Birmingham. Thereupon the Anglican
vicar of the parish in which the chapel is
situated wrote to him declaring that he
would in so preaching degrade his orders
and his position in the church..
gagement The vicar then protested to
Henson from preaching. The latter how
ever, preached in defiance Of the inhibi-
ton. The case will now go before the
court of arches.
The bishop in forwarding the inhibition
wrote Mr.. Henson saying 1t was extreme
ly disagreeable to himself, but he felt sure
he must vindicate the principle of the in
cumbentS rights. The bishop is a per-
sonal friend Of Mr.. Henson and the Bir-
mingham non-conformist minister.
He says he maintains the principle that
clergyman of the Church Of England
must not preach publicly in any kind Of a
building in another clergyman's parish
against that clergyman's protest. He
adds that he has preached and spoken
himself in non-conformist meetings.
Mr.. Henson, who will shortly go to the
United States, has asked for the post
ponement of the legal proceedings until
he returns.

Tribute to Admiral Cervera

Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley. L.
8. ", retired, last night appeared deeply
touched when told of the death OF Adj
miral Ccrvera. He took occasion to pay
warm tribute to the chivalrous conduct
and splendid character of Cervera when
the latter was taken prisoner.
We'll. I am very, very sorry TO hear
that Cervera is dead said Admiral
Schley. He was a grand old man. a
brave and gallant naval officer. and in
his death Spain loses one Of her most
heroic naval figures.
when he attempted to sail out Of the
harbor. on that July Sd morning. Ger
vera undertook the only course left to
him. and he acted as wisely as any other
could have done under those conditions.
1t was case OF measuring his strength
with that of the enemy. and he lost, losing
all save his honor
He was a man of great courage and
fortitude. After his capture he resigned
himself TO the situation.
He was deeply moved by the gentle
ness which marked his treatment by the
officers of our feet. The hostility which
before had been manifested toward him
was transformed into charity and kind
ness. and everything was done to COM
fort the old man in his sorrowful mo-
ments."

GETTING POPULAR SENTIMENT.
House Leaders Seek From the Presi-
dent Peoples Tariff Views.

President Taft held an extended con-
ference yesterday afternoon with Speaker
Cannon and Chairman Payne of the ways
and means committee Of the House con-
corning the tariff bill and the attitude of
members of the House and the country.
The object of the conference was two
fold-first, that the President might re-
port to these leaders of the House ex-
pressons of opinion brought to him
verbally and through the mails as repre-
senting the sentiment Of the country at
large, and, second, that the House lead
ers might report the situation in that
body. The President wants to learn all
sides Of the situation, the official and un-
Official. and he knows no better way of
doing this than by frequent conference
and by inviting his friends In all direc-
tions to communicate with him.

Mr.. Rogers Address.
Mr.. Rogers said:
1T is a great honor and I shall not
deny that it is a great pleasure to be
your guest on this occasion. I am not
gifted with the art of oratory and am
forced to say my thanks in plain and
homely words. Yet they are none the
less heartfelt.
II make no pretense that the building
Of the Virginia railroad was intended
wholly as a public service. While hope
and believe 1T will be Of public benefit.
it has been and is business enterprise.
II have faith that the resources of the
Old Dominion state. when properly de-
veloped. mean a great deal not for you
who live here alone, but for the whole
country. I have simply sought to bear
what share 1 could in the development
Of these resources.
You gentlemen of Virginia and ]
have q common interest. / shall endeav-
or to deal fairly by you, and 1 am sure
you purpose doing the same by me. Again
l thank you for the honor you have
conferred upon me from the bottom of
my heart"

Virginian railroad, Mr.. Clemens said he
saw 1t EN- route to the city. and noted
that. like Mr.. Rogers foot, 1T was long
and bony." He spoke in the highest

duty on lead as vital to them. He OPP
posed any duty on tea or coffee, as con-
trary to the traditional doctrine of pro-
lection, and commended that an increase
OF duty on sugar would produce the re-
Quired revenue and at the same time af-
ford needed encouragement and protec-
ton to the beat sugar industry. That
the admission Of 800, 900 tons of Philippine
paid sugar would ultimately deplete our
revenues to the extent of slO,OO0.OOO an
nually was one of the arguments made by
Mr.. Howell. Mr.. Howell favored a duty
on hides. lumber and coal.
Additional Tax on Beer.
Mr. Humphreys (Miss.) said that if he
has his way lumber will be on the free
list and an additional tax of 60 cents a
barrel on beer imposed. He spoke on
both propositions in connection with the
debate.
Mr.. Stafford rep. Wis., heartily in
dorsed the provisions of the bill plac-
ing hides and wood pulp on the free list
1t was, he said, a recognition of the need
in the United States for free raw ma
terial. The House at 6 o'clock took a
