Proponed Department of Commerce Was Under DIschskIor for Two Hohm in the Upper HoHse. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. Debate on the Philippine tariff bill was not continued in the Senate today, no member of the body being prepared to proceed with the discussion. The bill providing for the establishment of a Department of Com merce was under discussion for nearly two hours. Little progress "was made with it, as while the debate disclosed no objections to the main features of the bill, there was a disposition on the part of the Senate to give it careful consider ation and to perfect the details of the measure. The Proceeding. Soon after the Senate convened Cul berson secured the adoption of a resolu tion directing the Secretary of "War to transmit to the Senate copies of all sug gestions, statements, criticisms and cor respondence between the War Depart ment or any official thereof and any per son or corporation, relating to the cus toms tariff affecting the Philippine Is lands. Teller offered the following concurrent resolution, which he asked to go over until tomorrow: "Whereas, it is announced that sentence of death has been passed upon Command ant Scheepers, of the Orange 'Free State Army, now prisoner of war in the hands of the British forces in South Africa; and "Whereas, it is known that said Com mandant Scheepers was captured while lying sick and wounded in a hospital, his capture being in violation of articles 1 and 5 of the Geneva convention; and "Whereas, his execution by the British authorities will lead to acts of retaliation and reprisal, be it "Resolved, by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring, that the President request the government of Great Britain to set aside, in the Interest of humanity, such sentence of death, and accord to Commandant Scheepers the privileges and immunities guaranteed un der the Geneva convention." After reading press dispatches reciting the statements of fact in the resolution, Teller sald:v "I am told we can have by tomorrow official statements that the facts of the resolution are correct. This Is a case which certainly calls for the intervention of the United States or some other gov ernment which has some feeling of hu manity. War, wherever it is, should be conducted upon principles of humanity, or, at least, if not, we should enter our protest against it." Nelson called up the bill creating a De partment of Commerce. Quarles offered an amendment, providing that the Secre tary of Commerce should have complete charge of the work of gathering and distributing statistical Information nat urally relat!ngto the subjects confined to his department, and to this end the Sec retary of Commerce should have author ity to call upon all other departments of the Government for statistical data to be published as he may deem wise. Galllnger made a vigorous argument in support of the pending measure. President Pro Tem Frye then laid bo fore the Senate a letter from Samuel Gompers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, protesting against the incorporation of the Department of Labor in the proposed Department of Commerce. He said that the Department of Labor had been organized at the earnest solici tation of the organized labor of the country, in the hope, ultimately, that it might become one of the executive de partments of the Government, with a Sec retary of Labor, who should have a seat In the President's Cabinet. Mr. Gompers was of the opinion that if the Department of Labor were Incorporated in the De partment of Commerce it would minimize the Interests of labor, and he protested against any such result. At 2 o'clock the unfinished business the Philippine tariff bill was laid before the Senate, but as no Senayjr was prepared to proceed with the debate, the measure, on motion, of Lodge, in charge of it, was laid aside temporarily, and the Senate continued the discussion of the Depart ment of Commerce bill. Allen opposed the amendment offered by Quarles. and Spooner supported It. After a long debate the bill, with all amend ments, was ordered reprinted, pending further consideration. "Pettus offered an amendment providing that the Department of Labor should not be transferred to the Department or Com merce. Pending action upon the amend ment the Senate at 2:25 P. M., on motion of Cullom. went into executive session. The Senate confirmed the nomination of M. A. Otero as Governor of New Mexico. Morgan spoke again for more than an hour, in opposition to the nomination. When he concluded the vote was taken without division. CUBAX TARIFF JIEARIXG. Oxaard States the Position of the Beet Sugar Hen. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. The hearing on Cuban reciprocity was resumed before the ways and means committee today. The beet sugar Interests of the United States occupied most of the time, being represented by Henry T. Oxnard, presi dent of the American Beet Sugar Asso ciation, and by delegations from those states interested in the production of su gar from beets. The cane sugar interests of Louisiana also were well represented. At the outset Mr. Place, head of the Cuban delegation, made a statement to clear up misapprehension on Cuba's po sition. He had anrued for frep trade ho said, as that was the earnest wish of Cuba. But while this was the judgment of the Cuban people, he said they de ferred to the judgment of the American Congress on the whole question. He added: "We want what you will grant, asking no more advantage, nor as much, as we are about to concede to your producers. Without suggestion as to limitations, we leave to your statesmanship the relations which are to prevail between us. The sovereignty is yours over both alike, and your determination will be accepted by us fully and Treely as by the American people themselves." r Mr. Oxnard made an extended state ment of the position of the Beet Sugar Association, saying: "Stripped of sentimentality and all ex traneous considerations, and reducing the Cuban demands for free or freer sugar to its simplest equation. It Is this: Shall the United States, through Its agricul turists, produce its raw sugar and its factories, scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific, refine Its products, or shall It permit foreign lands to export to it the raw material and content itself mere ly with the refining? That is what 1 fear would eventually come to pass it you Interfere in any way at the present time with the existing production or home sugar. Capital Is timid to a great degree, and should Congress decide that Cuban sugar must be helped at the ex pense of American beet sugar, then it will at first hesitate and eventually turn its back upon the further development or beet sugar, and throw its full force into the tropical islands, which wc have un duly favored and stimulated. Sugar pro duction In Cuba today Is firmly estab lished, and the chief industry of the is land. Even our enemies must admit that beet sugar Is at the very Inception of its development In the United States." Mr. Oxnard characterized the Cuban proposition as most vicious, and asked why It is that the American sugar inter est should be singled out for sacrifice. Mr. Oxnard severely criticised tho American sugar trust and H. O. Have meyer. Chairman Payne asked Mr. Ox nard as to the report that he had sug gested an agreement with tho Cubans. Mr. Oxnard answered that no such agree ment had been made. There had been .a disclisslon during which It was sug gested that if Congress decides to grant concessions to Cuba It should be In the form of a rebate. He also denied that there is any trust In the beet sugar industry- At the afternoon session. Nathaniel Stewart presented the case of the Mich igan beet sugar "Industry. He said that $7,700,000 is now invested, and this in dustry has grown up within three years. He argued that Congress has induced the investment and should not destroy it by granting concessions to Cuba. C. D. Smith, of the Michigan Farmers Institute, appeared at the request of the Governor of Michigan, to present tho view of the farming interests engaged in raising beets. He spoke in opposi tion to Cuban concessions. While the hearing was going on, a pe tition was circulated on the floor of the House requesting the ways and means committee to make no change In the tariff laws likely injuriously to affect the beet sugar industry. About 45 Republi can members from .Michigan, California, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas and other beet producing states signed the petition. On the Democratic side, the Louisiana members and Shafroth of Colorado, were among the signers. Those in charge of ' oo TO HAVE CHARGE OF PRINCE HENRY'S ENTERTAINMENT. REAR-ADMIRAL ROBLET D. EVANS, Rear-Admiral Robley D.

While discussing this point, the first shot from the Padllla struck the Lautaro. The Padllla was painted white. She was steaming due west, with tho sun's rays directly astern of her. Her crew and officers could see clearly ahead of their vessel, while, owing to the sun's dazzling brightness, the Padllla herself was not seen until she was within 400 yards ot that ship. There were about 150 soldiers on board the Lautaro, and Immediately after the first shot was fired a stampede occurred among them, but General Alban made tho captain of tho Lautaro take charge of the guns which had been mounted on that vessel.

Sensational re ports were published here today of an al leged shortage in the books of Theodore Brafemer, who resigned last Sunday as secretary and treasurer of the J. & F. Schroth Packing Company, of this city.

WitU the Native Conntabalary, This Force Will Be Snlllclent to Main tain Peac" and Order. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 22, Governor General W. H. Taft, ot the Philippines, left for Washington tonight, on a special train. He was accompanied by General James F. Smith, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines. Regarding a standing army in the Phil ippines, Governor Taft Is reported by the Call to have said: "Fifteen thousand men will be rtmple force In the Islands before the close ot the year. I was told this only a few days before I came away. Officers thoroughly versed in .the situation gave roe the figures. "I will explain to you how peace can be maintained In the Islands. We have organized a native constabulary, which la -working efficiently. Congress allows us to maintain a constabulary of 5000 men. They are under the command of Major Allen, who hao already enlisted 2500 men In this branch of the service. When the force Is fully organized, the men will be distributed In the province, 150 men to each province. The detachments of con stables are commanded by four officers, three of whom are retired volunteer offi cers and the other a native Filipino. "When tho constabulary Is fully equipped It v,Ul be detailed in the field to clean out the ladrones, who aro Intim idating the natives. These Filipino con Ptablea can be maintained by the Govern ment at a cost of 5230 each a year, while the soldiers In the Islands cost Uncle Sam about $1000 a head. "I know that the Pacific Coast people would like to see free trade Instituted between this country and the Islands, ' said the Governor, "but I am sorry to say that I cannot see how it would work. "The civil government adopted a tariff schedule which Is working well, but our Internal revenue receipts nre not large. When you tax a country too heavily you spoil It, and that Is the situation In the Philippines. "We have asked that tho DIngley tariff be reduced for the products of the island at least 50 per cent. Wo hope that Con gress will be as generous to the Philip pines as It was to Porto Rico. Reduction of the DIngley tariff will mean the open ing up of a large market for the tobacco and sugar of the Islands, as well as for other products of the Islands. Hemp you need and are buying in larger quantities every day. By so reducing the DIngley tariff a good market for the Pacific Coast will be opened up." Governor Taft said that there had been no serious clash between the military au thorities and declared that the best of good feeling existed between himself and General Chaffee. Manila Bnnkg Refntte Silver. MANILA, Jan. 22. A new phase of the currency question In the Philippine Is lands has arisen, with the refusal of banks here to receive deposits In Mexican sliver.

Dolllver being elected to fill the vacancy caused by the denth of the late Senator John H. Gear. Senator Dolllver, In an address upon his re-election, said. In part: "There never has been a time and there never will be a time wheif an American industry, mnklng an uncqualed and even a precarious fight with foreign competi tors, will not find among our people tho spirit of encouragement and helpfulness expressed In the laws of the United States. And yet nobody Is any longer bound to the fact that with many of the Industries of the United States the rates of duty on "W hlch in 1S27 were regarded as reasonable, and were, in fact, retonnble. have since that time, owing to c curious develop ment of our Industrial and commercial life, become unnecessary, and. In many cases, absurd. They stand on our statute books today no longer a- shield for Amer ican labor, but they have In mnny cajcs been turned as a weapon of defense against the American markets themselves. "I believe that I speak for the average judgment and good sense of the whole community of Iowa when I say that these defects In- our laws ought to be corrected, and I express a confidence that the Con gress of the United States win be able. In a spirit friendly to the principles upon which the protective tariff rests, to cor rect these defects In a buslncss-Ilke way, unless we are compelled to admit that Congress has become helpless In the pres ence of questions like these." 3Imt Trust the Brigands. CONSTANTINOPLE. Jan. 22. It Is un derstood that tho American negotiators for tho release of Miss EHen M. Stone and her companion, Mme. Tpllka, to whom the money subscribed for the ransom of the captive missionaries was sent, may have to entrust tho fund to tho brigands for some days before the latter release the captives, in accordance with the prece dent adopted in the cases of previous brigandages. The bandits are said to In sist on this point. In order to enable them to dispose of the cash before retallatlve measures can be organized. There Is some risk Jn adopting this course, but the be havior of Miss Stone's captors thus fur encourages confidence that they will ful fill their engagements. Races at OaUland. SAN FRANCISCO.
