MAKES SOME RADICAL CHANGES li Duty on Snprar and Toliacco to Be 50 Per Cent of Dlnsrley Itate, and All Other Products of Inlands to Come In Free of Duty, OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 22. Sugar wins again, and It Is evident that the tobacco Interests and the beet and cane-sugar Interests of the United States have combined 0 prevent any reduction of the tariff on Philippine sugar. That is the result of the compro mise on the Philippine bill today. A re duction of SO per cent of the Dingley schedules will probably be accepted by the House. This is little better than the pres ent 73 per cent rate, but yet it Is enough to prevent any serious attack upon the sugar Interests. As sugar and tobacco are the principal products of the islands, an absolute free-trade arrangement on other articles will cut very little figure, although It may tend to build up -some of the in dustries in the island and encourage other productions outside of the two staples -whose competition is so much feared by the beet-sugar interests of this country. A3IEXDS PHILIPPINE TARIFF. Senate Committee Gives Heed to Susrar and. Toliacco Men. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. The Senate committee on the Philippines today au thorized a favorable report on the Philip pine tariff bill, which recently passed the iiouse, out with important amendments. The Hoiisn hill oarri(ti n nnlfnrm rprhip- . tion of the tariff on Philippine goods im ported Into tho United States, making the f rate only 23 per cent of the rates imposed by the Dlncrlev law. The Senate committee amended the bill SO as to rirovide for the admission of nil Philippine-produced articles free of duty excent suirar and tobacco, .md on thpsn two commodities fixed the tariff at 50 per cent of the Dingley schedules. This , change was made to meet the ohlortions of the sugar and tobacco nroducers of this country, who have claimed that a duty of I oniy per cent on those articles would I result in ruinous competition. ! The Senate committee also HorMoU fn recommend an amendment to the bill ad mitting into the Philippine Islands all ma terial used In the construction kmcnt of steam and electric rallronds fr of duty for the next five years.

OREGONIAN NEWS BTIRKATT We llington, Jan. 22. The House of Rcnresen I'tatives devoted an hour and a half this eenlng to the discussion of Representa tive Cushman's Alaska delegate bill, but adjourned without taking action. Cush ian called up the bill and In a bright half-hour speech explained its provisions,- and oolnted out the Imnortanw nr mnf ling a Delegate to the territory. He said I members of Congress were but slichtlv linformed on the needs and conditions of Isthe territory, and that none but a wide Ikwake resident of Alaska could nutVinH. Itatively and truthfully present the facta rto Congress, where Alaska legislation pas pending. He advocated the making of each In corporated town a voting precinct, and ilvlding the balance of the territory into i-oting precincts,, with the mining district the basis. To show the respective lining districts, and proposed votlntr precincts, he displayed before the House mammoth chart of Alaska, which was the center of interest next to Cushman almself. Several members of the territories com aittee spoke in favor of the bill, not a lember coming forward when the Speak er asked If anyone wished to sneak in Opposition. A vote was about to be taken it 5 o'clock when Representative "Warner. 3f Illinois, made an unexpected and .'iclous attack on the Cushman bill earner said he was In favor of giving laska a Delegate, but such DelecatA Should be appointed by the President either independently or on recommend Ion of the three District Judges. He ;everely denounced the scheme of eler.t og a Delegate, saying it would cost $30,000 each year and be difficult of accomplish- ient. Cushman replied that his bill provided 'or no salary other than that of the Del egate, that the expenses of the election tould be borne by the people of Alaska. "Then," said Warner, "vour hill -trui tccomplish nothing. 'If you. don't provide alaries for those conducting the election. 10 one will give his time, and you will lave no Delegate." He further stated hat returns from an election held the i8t Tuesday In September could not nil e gathered at Sitka in the time reniilrwi furthermore, the fight each two years 'ould be between the larger Incorporated Itles of Alaska, and much expense would je incurred in contests that would be rought to Washington. '"While the Cushman bill provided for appropriations beyond the salarv nnd Jllowances of the Delegate, Warner harged that this bill was' merely an pening wedge, and when the DIp ras authorized, an appropriation for ear ning on the election would be mado in le of the supply bills. His method of ppointment, he said, did awav with nil lance for heavy expenditure and rnn. ?sts and insured capable men, as the resident now has authority to appoint n other officials in the territory. It las also alleged the Cushman bill gave Jo much authority to the miners and bt enough to the agriculturists and fish- men. it the close of Warner's attank- tvi jouse adjourned, the understanding be g that a vote will be taken tomorrow Saturday, it at first aoocar tw ashman's bill would pass without ny. jction. There Is now considerable spec-. ation as to its fate, as It may have to sacrificed for the Warner schom fder to insure final passage of a bill is -season, for many members, including juoncan . jeaaers, ravor the annoint- ent plan. SOCIALISTS SPEAK OUT. Aalc MInerx' Convention to Advocate Government Ownership of Mines. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Jan 22. At th opening of the miners' convention today the report of the credentials committee was read, which seated practically all of the delegates. Delegates from unions that are in arrears on assessments were setPd on pledges that thev tv-onld hnvo th7- unions pay up their arrears. A resolution of svmnathv and sunnnrt for the Boot and Shoe Workers' TTnlon nf Lynn, .Mass., which is on a strike, was passed. Then there came a clash hiiwoon thf conservative and socialistic factions. Tt originated in a resolution from an ob scure local union favoring Government ownership of coal mines and railroads. A motion on the part of the conserva tives 10 taDie it brought on a long discus slon. The socialistic faction hnnpd ffc nrmi. ments on the anthracite strike and the combination of coal companies and rail- roaas, ana said that a tendency not to treat with miners, according to the laws Of man or. God. mndf It nwAssan.- for the tjovernment to take some such action. iJeiegate Walker, of Illinois, said that the coal comnanies and railroads are now In a combination initirlntiR to the Interests of the people, and were holding back coal 10 uoosc prices. The controversy was eventually referred to a committee. The co-oberatli-e store matter was atraln Drougnt belore the convention, but It was the opinion of a majority of the delegates that the miners as a union should not ln dorse the co-operative plan. A letter was araiiea to tne "American people," thank ing them for their assistance and sym pathy in the recent anthracite strike. .Delegate Lusk, of West Virginia, in the discussion on the resolution ravorJng Gov ernment ownership of coal mines and rail roads, said: "I feel, and other miners feel, that xc would rather work for the people than for the soulless corporations. The neonie have souls to be judged and bodies to be Durnea, out tne corporations have neither. Thomas HaggertV. of Pennsylvania spoke in support of the resolution. T. D. NIcholls made a motion to table the reso lution, which was defeated. A resolution was adonted 51000 for a monument at Latimer, Pa., to the 21 men who were killed and u-nnmioj in the strike riots of 1S77. ONE MISSING MEMBER HE BLOCKS RE-ELECTIOX TELLER AT DENVER.
