THE PHILIPPINE DECISION
MAY MAKE ACCESSARY NEW LEG
ISLATIOX FOR THE ISLAND.
Sfo Change In Duties on Imports
From the United States The
News at Manila.
WASHINGTON, Dec 3. The duties on
Imports going Into the Philippines under
the Spooner amendment will remain the
same as fixed by the Philippine Commis
sion and approved by the Secretary of
War. which went into effect about six
weeks ago. It is probable that an effort
will "be made to confirm that tariff, as it
meets the approval of the Administra
tion, when any Philippine legislation Is
passed. Until there is. legislation, the
present Philippine tariff will be en
forced. Kcw Legislation Probable.
WASHINGTON. Dec 3. The Supreme
Court decision relative to the Philippines
has brought to the attention of leaders
in -Congress the need of new legislation
for the archlpelagb somewhat on the lines
of that enacted for Porto Rico, and par-r
ticularly dealing with revenue questions
and Imports from the Philippines. Such
legislation will originate in the House of
Representatives. In some quarters there
was talk today that the Speaker would
announce the membership of the ways
and means committee this week, but there,
is no authoritative statement on the sub
ject In any event, the House leaders,
doubtless, will prepare the general frame
work of a Philippine bill before or during
the holidays.
It waB stated at the War Department
that the decision of the Supreme Court in
the insular cases does not call for any
change in the existing tariff arrangements
In the Philippines, and that It was not
even deemed necessary to Issue instruc
tions to the Civil Governor In consequence
of the decision. Secretary Root has had
several conferences with other officials in
regard to enactment of legislation to meet
existing conditions, but he said today, as
he had not yet received an official copy of
the court's decisions, he was unable even
to lndicato what steps would be taken.
The Secretary of the Treasury today Is
sued to Collectors of Customs in the
United States a telegraphic order direct
ing them to admit free of duty goods im
ported from the Philippine Islands. Fol
lowing is the order:
"Discontinue the requirement of entry
and collection cf duty on merchandise
shown by manifest of vessel to be shipped
from the Philippines. All free delivery
goods In bond. Detain cigars and cigar
ettes until internal revenue stamps are
affixed, under circulars SI and 5. Refunds
v.'Ill be made by certified statement where
protests are duly filed."
Satisfactory to the Administration.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 3. The Cabinet
meeting today was principally consumed
in a discussion of the Insular decisions
handed down yesterday by the Supreme
Court. On the whole, It Is believed, the
views of the majority of the court were
quite satisfactory to the" Administration.
It was pointed out that the ultimate re
sults of the decisions are. In a measure,
speculative at present, with the excep
tion that the customs duties collected In
this country on goods shipped from the
Philippines since the ratification of the
Paris treaty, will have to be refunded.
It la not thought, however, that the aggre
gate will be large, and Secretary Gage
expects that it will be within $1,000,000.
Ho called attention to tlv fact that the
great bulk of the Imports from the Phil
ippines were, admitted free of duty under
our general tariff laws, notably hemp,
which Is one of the leading staples of the
io'ands. The present tariff now In opera
tion In the Philippines, Mr. Gage thinks,
will need Htt!e or no revision. It was pre
pared after the most thorough and intel
1'gent Investigation, and Is said to be high
ly satisfactory to the business Interests of
the Islands.
The Xevrs at Manila.
MANILA, Dec 3. The local newspapers
here published extras when they received
the news of the United States Supreme
Court's decision In the "14 diamond rings"
case, that the Philippines were American
territory, and that the imposition of duty
on articles Imported into the United States
from the Philippines is improper. The an
nouncement of the decision caused great
excitement and jubilation among the mer
chanta and general public here. Repre
sentatives of the principal business houses
say it will revolutionize the entire trade
of the Orient. The civil authorities here
have not yet formed an opinion on the
fuuject, but they think the law only ap
plies to goods going to the United States,
and are anxiously awaiting an official
communication on the subject, since, if
the decision holds here, new means for
obtaining funds to run the government
will be necessary.
General Luke Wright, the Vice-Governor,
thinks that a general revision of
taxation is imperative. The Collector of
the Port, W Morgan Shuster, says it
means returning the J7,O0C.OOO collected in
duties by the customs cfflclals. The Custom-house
was besieged today by importu
nate Inquirers and the decision of the
Supreme Court was the only thing talked
about at the clubs. In mercantile circles
and in the civil and military offices.

Gttardlns; Against Fatare Treachery.
WASHINGTON, Dec 3. Following the
unfortunate disaster to the Ninth Infan
try at Calanglga, when the troops were
surprised and overcome by supposedly
friendly Filipinos. General Chaffee Issued
a general order designed to guard against
future treachery of that kind, warning
officers and men against placing too much
reliance in professions of faith and friend
ship as yet unproved and directing that
military vigilance never should be re
laxed and that every precaution must bo
taken to guard against a recurrence of
such disasters as at Balangiga.

MISUNDERSTOOD THE ORDERS
Coroner's Investigation Into the Sen

ADRIAN. Mich., Dec. 3. It is expect
ed that the Coroner's jury, which has
been investigating the disastrous wreck
on the Wabash Railroad near Seneca last
Wednesday night, in which many Italian
Immigrants we're crushed and burned to
death, will render a verdict tomorrow.
The testimony this morning brought out
the fact that there were three different
interpretations amonK the crew of cast
bound train No. 4, of the orders under
which the train was running. Conductor
Martin and Brakcman Dlttman, who un
derstood the orders correctly, expected to
pass train No. 13 at Seneca and train No.
?. at Sand Crcerc. Engineer Strong,
whose misunderstanding was directly re
sponsible for the wreck, understood that
he was to pass trains No. 3 and No. 13
both at Sand Creek. Fireman Bastleu
testified that he believed they were to
pass No. 13 at Sand Creek and No. 3 :t
Seneca, Just the reverse of the way the
orders read. In reply to a point blank
question from the prosecutor. Engineer
Strong admitted that It was his misun
derstanding of the orders that caused
the wreck.

OPENING OF THE NATIONAL CON

Secretary Wilson Spoke on the Valae
of Mixed Livestock Husbandry
Other Papers.
CHICAGO, Dec 3. The fifth annual con
vention of the National Livestock Asso
ciation begau at the Studebaker Theater
today, with nearly 500 delegates present.
It Is expected that the convention will
be in session until Friday.
The convention was called to order by
President John W. Springer. Mr. Spring
er said ho understood there were 30 Gov
ernors of states In the city, and he invited
them on the stage. Governor Yates, of
Illinois, was the only Governor present,
but Mr. Springer said that the rest of
the distinguished gentlemen would appear
during the convention.
Rev, C. M. Coburn, of Chicago, offered
a prayer, and Governor Yates and Dr.
Howard Taylor, representing Mayor Har
rison, welcomed the delegates on behalf
of the state and of the city. H. S. Cow
an, of Texas, responded on behalf of the
cattlemen. President Springer delivered
hie annual address.
The report of Secretary Charles F. Mar
tin, which followed the President's ad
dress, was devoted to the work accom
plished during the past year by the dif
ferent committees and the officers of the
organization. The membership is Increas
ing and the finances more satisfactory
than ever before.
The feature of the afternoon session
was the address of Hon. James Wil30n,
Secretary of Agriculture: who spoke of
"Mixed Livestock Husbandry." saying in
part:
"A well-arranged system of rotation
contributes greatJy to maintaining the uni
form fertility of the soil, and also Is one
of the readiest means by which to get rid
of Insect pests. The Department of Ag
riculture Is searching the world over for
plants that may be useful in the several
states and territories of tfie Union to be
used as features In systems of rotation.
Where a locality becomes addicted to the
habit of growing one crop year after year
tho soil deteriorates unless fertilisers aie
applied, whether the crop be cotton or
wheat, or whatever is sold from the soli.
"On the rich soils of the Northwest,
In both humid and irrigated localities, ro
tation can be conveniently practiced. A
crop of sugar beets can be grown, then
a crop of corn or oatR or alfalfa, to be
fed on the farm: then land can be seeded
down for two or three years with grasses
and legumes for pasture. In order to re
store to the sell the humus that was
taken away by the growth of the previous
crops, and also In order to give nature
time to prepare the plant food that was
taken by the beet crop, wlilch Is a gross
feeder of potash and other necessary ele
ments of plant growth.
"The Department of Agriculture is trying
to find markets for the products of the
dairy and for many other things in for
eign countries. Wherever we go, whether
East, West or South, we meet
representatives of European countries as
competitors, who buy the grains of the
Northwest and turn them Into dairy prod
ucts, upon which they make a fine profit
In addition to maintaining the fertility of
their soils. It Is a transfer of plant
food from our country to theirs, It Is
an acknowledgment that we lack either
the skill or the enterprise to use our raw
material to the best advantage. The
hastening poverty of many soils where
grains are grown for sale admonishes us
that we must stop selling plant food In
shape of grains that are raw material for
other nations."
The main part of the afternoon pro
gramme was taken up by five-mlnuto dis
cussions of the "Present Condition of the
Livestock Industry." E. S. Gashey, of
Arizona, said the cattle business of Ari
zona was In good shape F. C. Lusk, of
California, declared that the acquisition
of Hawaii and the Philippines had bene
fited his state greatly. II. H. Robinson,
of Colorado, said his state was increasing
her cattle business by the growing num
ber of small ranchers. Frank P. Bennett,
of Massachusetts, president of the Wool
growers' Association, discussed the proff
er method of marketing wool.
The following associations were admit
ted as members of the association: North
Montana Woolgrowers' Association, 15,
090.CO0 sheep Central Montana Woolgrow
ers Association, 15,CCO,000 sheep; American
Goatbrceders Association, 1.000,000 goats;

FLOOD-OF HOUSE BILLS.
Resolution Calling: for Another

WASHINGTON, Dec 3. The flood of
bills is o great In the House of Repre
sentatives that the clerical staff was kept
busy all last night, and managed to get
abreast of 279 public and 1113 private bills,
a total of 1332. or about half of all those
Introduced. Representative Brownlow, of
Tennessee, led the list, with 252 bills and
resolutions. It was not until today's ses
sion of the House closed that the weary
clerks were able to catch up with yester
day's deluge, and began sorting the fur
ther deluge of today. There were few
notable measures in today's list, most of
the bills being reprlnta from former ses
sions. Among them was a bill by Sho
walter of Pennsylvania, for a Constitu
tional amendment prohibiting polygamy.
Williams of Mississippi today introduced
the following resolution, proposing a com
mission of inquiry
"Whereas, One W. S. Maclay has writ
ten a 'History of the Navy of the. United
States,' which was adopted for use in tho
Naval Academy at Annapolis; and,
"Whereas, In said history, said Maclay
denounces Rear-Admlral Schley as a liar
and a coward; and,
"Whereas, Said Maclay Is reported to
have alleged that the proof sheets con
taining these charges Avcro submitted to
one Captain A. S. Crownlnshleld, Chief
of the Bureau of Navigation of the Navy
Deportment, and approved and acquiesced
in by him; and,
"Whereas, Said Maclay Is reported to
have alleged that the same proofs were
submitted to Rear-Admlral William T.
Sampson, of tho United States Navy, and
approved 'and acquiesced In by him; and,
"Whereas, Said Maclay was at the time
of the writing of the said history and
Is now in the employ f the Navy De
partment of the United States, notwith
standing the scurrilous character of the
.charges made by him In said history; and,
" hercas. Said facts disclose a state
of things subversive of honorable conduct
and consideration among officers of the
Navy and employes of tho Navy Depart
ment; now, therefore, be it
"Resolved, By the House of Represen
tatives of the Congress of the United
States that a committee be appointed by
the Speaker for the purpose of Investigat
ing and reporting to the House of Repre
sentatives the truth or falsity of the said
statements as made by the said Maclay,
the truth or falsity of the allegation that
the proof sheets were submitted to and
acquiesced In by said Captain Crownln
shleld, and the said Rear-Admlral Samp
son, and to recommend to the House of
Representatives the course of action to be
pursued by the House in consequence of
the ascertainment of facts to be made by

A Joint resolution has been introduced
by Moody of Massachusetts, proposing
a select committee of three members, to
be appointed by the Speaker, to Investigate

election In Louisiana, the rights of any
of the male inhabitants of that state were
abridged or denied; whether. If the right
of any person to vote was denied or
abridged, the members from Louisiana so
cho'sen arc entitled to their scats, and
whether Congress should enact further
legislation to carry out the 11th and 15th
amendments to the United States Consti
tution. Lord Rothschild's Opinion.
LONDON, Dec. 3. "President Roose
velt's first mesaago to Congress,"
Fald Lord Rothschild to a rep
resentative of tho Associated Press, "cer
tainly seems statesmanlike, and should
produce a goad effect In England and the
rest of Europe, where Its careful, friend
ly references to the other powers will
be much appreciated. But his declaration
that reciprocity must be treated as the
handmaiden of protection will raise a
howl here In England for protection du
ties. If reciprocity Is only to be a hand
maiden. It will not do England much
good. This enunciation will tet on foot
an unprecedented agitation for the restor
ation of at least partial protection here."
"Do you think It at all likely to suc
ceed?" Lord Rothschild was asked.
"Yes." he replied. "In spite of the his
toric fetich of free trade. would not
be at all surprised to see protection re
turn to England. What can we do? We
have got little we can now supply to the
United States. She makes pretty near

IRRIGATION QUESTION.
President's Knowledge of the Sltna
tlon In the "West.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-George H. Maxwell,
executive chairman of the National Irri
gation Association, In speaking tonight
of the President's message, said:
"The message recommends to Congress
a National policy for the storage of the
waters that now go to waste In the arid
region, and the reclamation and settle
ment of the arid public domain, which.
If carried out, will result in practically
doubling the wealth, resources and popu
lation of the United States within a gen
eration. The President has outlined this
whole policy In such a logical way that
It shows that he thoroughly understands
the problem and what Is necessary to
be done to solve It. He. knows that water
Is the life of the arid region, and that
the forests must be" preserved as the pri
mary source of water supply. He knows,
however, that forests alone are not
enough. They must be supplemented by
great storage reservoirs, to be built and
maintained by the National Government
as Internal Improvements. The President
shows further that where the arid public
lands are to be reclaimed, the National
Government must also build great main
line canals to bring water within reach
of settlers and reserve the lands for home
builders. His familiarity with "Western
conditions enables him to speak with au
thority when he says that the problem
must be eolved by the National Govern
ment, and not by the states,
"This message will electrify the West,
because it opens up such gigantic possl
bllltles for Increasing population and
