HOUSE AIDS FARMERS
PARTY LINES BROKEN AS MEAS
URE is PASSED.
AGRICULTURAL BILL WILL NOW
BE TAKEN UP BY SENATE;
ACTION DOUBTFUL.
twe.ern Newspaper Union New. seuis3

WaShington.-By vote of 1876 yeas
to SO nays the House passed the farm
ers' relief bill imposing high emerg-
ency tariff on a score Of agricultural
products, the decline in the price of
which is attributed in part by the farm
ers to competition with importations.
The measure now goes to the Senate,
where its fate is uncertain. 1t will be
taken up by the Senate finance COM
mittee but the prolonged discussion
made possible by Senate rules may
compass failure Of passage.
Supporting the bill in the House
were 154 Republicans, Al Democrats
and Prohibitionist. Opposing it. u
Democrats and IA Republicans. A con-
siderable number Of Republicans from
industrial sections severely criticized
the measure as class legislation which
would increase the cost of living.
The bill went through without
change. In the case Of each Of the
commodities covered by the bill amend
ments were offered either reducing the
duties to the level of the former
Payne-Aldrich tariff law or striking
out the section entirely. Invariably
the amendments were either voted
down or rejected on points of order.
The items covered by the bill are
wheat, wheat flour, corn, beans, pea
nuts, potatoes. onions, rice, lemons pea
nut oil, cottonseed oil, cocoanut Oil, soy
bean oil, cattle, sheep. fresh mutton
and lamb, long staple cotton and its
manufactures. wool and its manufac-
lures. The bill is designed to apply to
period of ten months, while the tar
iff law is being completely revised.
Representative Fordney of Michigan,
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee, expressed the hope during the
debate at the beginning of the special
session that either the former Payne
Aldrich tariff law. or the Dingley law
would be enacted as an emergency
measure for the protection Of all
classes of industry pending the pas
sage of the revised bill.
Representative Walsh of Massachu-
sets. Republican. made an unsuccess-
full effort to eliminate the section pro-
viding duty on manufactures of long
staple cotton. He said the bill would
not help the New England cotton man
ufacturing industry.
The section applying to wool was re-
tanned in the bill after Representative
Rainey had denounced 1t as represent
ing increases Of from 80 to zoo per
cent over the rates in schedule & of
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
Representative Madden of Illinois
was one of the Republicans speaking
against the bill. He said that while it
was claimed that the wool growers
would benefit from the bill, the actual
effect would be to Increase the value
of wool in the hands of others than
wool growers. He said it would double
the price of clothing.

London, Dec. 24.-The evacuation of
Fiume by civilians has begun, accord

100 refugees have arrived at Candrida.
The food situation in Fiume Is consid-
cred almost desperate.
The population numbers $1,000 and
the food supply will not provide for
them for more than fortnight.
The situation in the islands OF
Arbe and Veglia is considered even
worse.
A majority Of the people Of Fiume,
says the correspondent, opposes any
encounter involving bloodshed.
Even some members of the regency
disagree with D'Annunzio. His finance
minister, Professor Pantaleoni, has re-
signed and left Fiume.
Fifteen men have deserted from his
army. Deputies Suzi and Deambris
have left Fiume for Rome to submit a
proposal that Italy recognize the regen-
cy with Barros, Arbe and Veglia, while
the regency renounce the immediate
annexation of Fiume to Italy, which
would be subject for future negotia-
tions and also renounce further action
in Dalmatia
Trieste.-Fiume Is surrounded by
government forces. The approaches
are heavily guarded on the north, east
and west by powerful patrols of carab-
ineers and alpini. Every road and lane
is under surveillance.
Nothing is being allowed to 60 into
the town, but exit is permitted to
those who wish to withdraw rather
than to face siege. By sea the fleet
of Pola is not permitting the passage
of any craft.
Trains are not permitted to proceed
beyond Abbazia, where all passengers
destined for Fiume must get out.
Mayor Gigantic of Fiume has been
notified by General Caviglia Of the
steps the government intends to take
in enforcing the blockade.
One Gardiner was killed and two
others were wounded by bombs thrown

JAPAN DOES NOT ASK THE RIGHT
OF NATURALIZATION FOR
ITS SUBJECTS.
western Newspaper Union News ser.ics.,

Washington, Dec. 27.-The negotia-
tons between Roland s. Morris, Amer
ican ambassador to Japan, and Baron
Shidehara, Japanese ambassador to the
United States, are nearing completion
and IL their report is accepted by the
/, State Department and the Japanese
foreign office, as it is expected to be,
It win be sent to the public printer and
submitted to the Senate for its consid-
Grafton with the amendment to the ex-
lsting commercial treaty with Japan
which it recommends.
The treaty amendment comprises
one clause which would guarantee to
Japanese subjects In the United States
equal civil rights with the nationals
of all other countries.
The necessary corollary is new
gentlemen's agreement which would
exclude absolutely the emigration of
Japanese labor to the United States
and Hawaii but would admit it to the
Philippine islands.
Japan does not ask the right of nat
uralization for its subjects. 1t is
pointed out by persons acquainted
with the negitiation that Japan could
not properly request the alienation of
her own subjects.
The report is voluminous, covering
.Iapanese-American relations for a
period of twenty-eight years, and is
an earnest effort to discover and solve
the problems which in more recent
years have tended to create breach
Of understanding between the two
countries.
II the proposed new clause is added
to the existing treaty, the California
alien land ownership laws would be
vitiated insofar as they concerned Jap
anese subjects, but that state would
not be prevented, by new legislation,
from excluding all Orientals from land
ownership, if ii should follow the ex-
ample set by British colonial legisla-
ton. Sach legislation prohibits ali
aliens from owning land. avoiding
thereby discrimination against any
particular aliens
The existing gentlemen's agreement
never has been reduced to writing and
consists, in addition to the original
agreement, of series of interpreta-
tions and amendments The proposed
agreement would nuilify provisions in
the existing agreement permitting Jap
anese Immigrants already admitted to
bring their wives and members of
their families into the country. and es-
tahlssh absolutely prohibition of jap
anese immigration. Scholars students,
travellers, merchants etc. would. not be
prevented from entering the United
