FIRST STEP TAKEN
IN TARIFF REVISION
Cummins PaVes Way with
Rules Resolution.

Revision OF the tariff. schedule by

gent Republican Senators. The first step
in that direction was taken yester-
day. when Senator Cummins. OF Iowa.
leader Of the progressives in thesupper
branch OF Congress, offered a resolution
amending the Senate rules 50 as TO IA
cilitate the passage Of such legislation
Senator Cummins' resolution proposes
TO amend the rules of Senate procedure
in two important respects. lie proposes,
first, that when any measure has been
in the custody Of A Senate committee for
sixty days without a report il shall be
within the power Of any Senator 10 call
the measure up for consideration. regard
less OF the committee reference.
The second amendment proposed by Mr.
Cummins is TO limit the power OF amend
ment. The effect OF the new rule will be
10 prevent any amendment 10 a pending
tariff bill that does not relate solely TO
the subject-matteF OF the pending meas
ure. Under this rule. If the measure
deals with a single tarif schedule, no
proposed legislation relating to any other
schedule would be germane
II is apparent now that the insurgents
intend TO keep the tariff issue well TO the
front in the present session of Congress.

Hayward, Wis, Dec. "a sensational
affidavit of prejudice against Judge
James Wickham. OF the Circuit Court,
was filed by Attorney W. B. Rubin, Of
the John Dietz defense. at the trial Of
the Cameron Dam defender to-day. The
affidavit bitterly attacked the judge, and
said no Circuit Court judge in Wisconsin
outside OF Milwaukee County would be
satisfactory, because they We're all serv-
ants OF the corporations. The affidavit
declared that Judge WiCkham was unit
to name another judge TO sit in the case
Judge Wickham threatened contempt
proceedings, but finally said he would
excuse the affidavit Because Of the ig-
noranee of the defense's attorneys" Fol-
lowing this incident, Wickham refused
continuance, and ordered the Dietzs to
plead to the charge of numbering dep
uty Oscar Harp, who was killed during
the attempt to capture Dletz. All plead
ed not guilty.
Judge Wickham refused the demand
for a postponement of the trial. stating
that il looked like an attempt TO get

fused to take the case out of the county

Secretary or War Dickinson gives lit
lie encouragement to the aspirations Of
the Filipino people for political independ-
enee in his special report on his visit to
the Philippine Islands, which was trans
mitted to President Taft yesterday. While
many FilipinOs. Secretary Dickinson
says. are web educated and capable of
self-govenment the great mass OF the
people are unit for political response
bilities.
Mr.. Dickinson spent about ffvs weeks
in visiting tho islands, from July "A TO
September last He was accompanied
by Brig Cen Clarence r. Edwards,
Chief Of the Bureau OF Insular Affairs
After a complete investigation OF the
subject, Mr.. Dickinson exOnerates Dean
C. Worcester, a member OF the Philip
pine Commission, and +. c. Carpenter,
executive secretary of the commission.
OF the charges OF improper official con-
duct In connection with friar land trans
actions, which were made in Congress
last winter by Representative Martin. OF
Colorado.
Other Matters Taken Up.
Mr. Dickinson recommends that Con-
gress appropriate the sum or S25O.O00 for
the development OF the coal mines on
the Island OF Batan; that provision be
made for the retirement OF the American
employees in the Philippine civil service;
that the limit OF Indebtedness for public
improvements be increased from five TO
ten million dollars; that Congress enact
legislation increasing the number OF
mineral claims which may be developed
by a single person or corporation In the
same vein or lode; and that the Philippine
Assembly be granted authority TO enact
legislation enabling any Filipino, who
is now excluded, as wei as aliens, to be-
come citizens OF the Philippine Islands
Secretary Dickinson is also IN favor
OF increasing the amount OF land which
may be homesteaded or sold 70 indfVid-
uals. He refrains. however, from making
q definite recommendation on this point
at the present time because or the fact
that the question is now being investi-
gated by a committee of Congress.
The work Of preparing the F1lfpinos
for popular self-goVeFnment," says Sec
rotary Dickinson, lis steadily progressing
along the lines which have been ap-
proved by you. I shall refer more par
ticularly 10 the various kinds OF admin
istrative work, but win here say that
the administration of the various depart
ments is in a generally satisfactory con-
diuon. and that the best results are be-
ing attained with the means at hand and
under the conditions that must be con-
tended with. On the whole. believe
that the administration OF the islands is
such that it should give satisfaction TO
the American people.
'srhe Filipino people are substantially
n the same attitude as when you visited

CANADA SHOWS INTEREST
IN PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Ottawa, Dec. 6-The reference in the
Presidents message to the pending reci-
procity negotiations between Canada
and the United States, which are TO be
resumed in earnest in Washington in
January. has aroused new interest in
the subject here.
This interest is growing greatly. too. on
account of the insistent demands Of the
Western Canadian farmers for the re-
moval Of the tariff on agricultural ma
chinery, a demand which they are to
bring forcibly to the attention OF the
government on December 16 when a dele
cation OF 1000 members OF the Grain
Growers Association will arrive here on
special trains from the West for the pur-
pose of putting their demands before
Parliament.

ernor Declines the office.
New Orleans. Dec. 6.-The Louisiana
legislature in extra session to-day elect
ed Judge T. B. Thornton. of Alexandria,
United States Senator TO succeed Sena-
tor MeEnery, who died last July. The
term begins at once. There were three
opponents of Judge Thornton. the lead
ing candidate being Robert BrousSard.
Representative from the Third district.
The election of Judge Thornton aroused
great bitterness in the legislature. which
is unanimously Democratic, and brought
split in the party.
Senator McEnery died in July. Gov.
Sanders. the present executive. was elect
ed and accepted the Office. asking for
a few weeks to finish up his affairs as
governor. In the meanwhile the legisla-
ture was called In extra session. After
it adjourned Gov. Sanders withdrew his
acceptance of the Senatorship and APP
pointed Judge Thornton. This muddled
up affairs and the governor was warned
that Thornton might not be Senator.
The laws of Louisiana require that all
Senators shall be nominated by primary.
and the legislators were asked TO sub
nit the names of candidates to the vot-
ers. BY a vote of 81 to IS the general
assembly refused to do so, and went into
