TARIFF BILL LAID ASIDE
XO SENATOR. WAS PREPARED TO
PROCEED WITH THE DEBATE.
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

Rear-Admiral Robley D. Evans, who has been named as the personal repre

who has been also placed in charge of the naval features of the programme of

WHEX ALBAX "WAS KILLED.
Farther Particular of the Battle at
Panama.
COLON, Colombia, Jan. 21 Just before,
the attack by the gunboats of the Lib
erals upon the Lautaro and Chuculto
Monday, General Carlos Alban was stand
ing on the deck of the Lautaro, trying to
induce the chief engineer of that vessel
to put to sea Immediately. This the lat
ter declined to do, on the ground that It
would be Imprudent, with only hlmEelf, a
blacksmith and tiTree firemen In his de
partment. 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. He supervised
everything himself until he was struck
by the bullet that killed him. The cap
tain wag -wounded In the leg. Several of
the Pndllla's crew were killed or wound
ed. The steamship Loa. belonging to the
South American Steamship Company, the
came line that owned the Lautaro. which
was in the harbor of Panama at the time,
rendered immediate assistance to the
Lautaro. which subsequently sank. The
body of General Alban has not yet been
recovered.
It Is presumed that the Liberals con
template an early attack upon Colon or
Panama, before the arrival here of tho
Pinzon with reinforcements. The gov
ernment Is alive to the situation and con
fident It will be able once more to Inflict
defeat upon the Insurgents.

A CINCINNATI SENSATION.
Trusted Bookkeeper Short From
?lGO,000 to $400,000.
CINCINNATI, Jan722. 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.
The story as first published alleged a
shortage of from $160,000 to JiOO.OOO, ex
tending over a period of 20 years, and
declared that Mr. Braeraer had turned
over all of his property and chattels in
trust, pending an examination of the
books by experts. Braemer denied that
there was any defalcation, but admitted
thafhe had turned over $71000 In personal
property to Harlan Cleveland, his attor
ney, and Joseph W. O'Hara, attorney for
the J. & F. Schroth Company. While
Braemer talked freely about the case, the
Schroths refused to-say anything, and the
attorneys were also reticent.
Braemer ia 45 years of age, and has
.been with tho Schroths 27 years, most of
the time receiving $23 per week as book
keeper, and In recent years twice that
much as secretary and treasurer. The
firm did a business of about $1,000,000 a
year, which was collected by Braemer.
When John Schroth died, over a year ago,
Lieutenant-Governor Carl Nlppcrt be
came the attorney of his heirs, who In
stituted "JJkjnveatifcatlon of the company,
which finally culminated in a meeting of
all Interested parties lost Sunday, at
which Braemer resigned, and from which
the sensational reports of today emanat
ed. The experts insist that they cannot
complete their work for two or three
weeks, and counsel say that no reliable
statement can be made until that time.
No reports of similar character ever
created such a sensation In this city, aa
Mr. Braemer always has been regarded
as a man of the highest business and so
cial standing. He owns one of the finest,
residences in the city, and it is furnished
with all that art could supply. In all of
the sensational reports that have been
published no reference is made to him
aa a fast man or of bad habits, such aa
are usually coupled with such sensations.
The attorneys and other interested per
sons will give no assurance that the re
port of the experts on the examination
of the books will be made public when
completed, as they state that every pos
sible difference has already been adjusted
satisfactorily by the, property that Brae
mer has turned over in trust. All the In
terested panties state that they expected
after the meeting last Sunday at which
Braemer resigned that all differences
would be settled without the matter ever
becoming public
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 21 Lieutenant
Governor Nlppert, counsel for the heirs of
John Scroth, stated today that when ho
took hold of the estate, he Immediately
asked when the books of the concern had
last heen audited. He was tojd that they
never-had bqen audited. When he asked
that this be done his clients gave him an
assurance of confldence'whlch he thought
to bo sincere, but whlqh he did not regard
as wise business judgment. Braemer did
not admit a shortage, but claimed that
the differences are due to errors In book
keeping. Attempted Bribery in Patrick Case.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 22. John T. Milllken,
the wealthy chemist, mine-owner and
capitalist of th(s city, who Is a brother-in-law
of Albert T. Patrick the lawyer
on trial in New York on the charge of
murdering Millionaire Rice, said today:
"A short time before the, trial of Pat
rick I was called to New York and offered
$50,000 by certain attorneys to have Patrick
compromise the will of 1900. We declined
to accept any offer that would not exon
erate Patrick of the charge of murder atod
atop the prosecution. A reply of such
character was made to our refusal that
led me to believe we could get $200,000 If
we would compromise. We again declined,
as no one was In a position to deliver
what we wanted, and the negotiations
ended."

SMALL ARMY WILL BO
TAFT SAYS 15,000 MEN WILL BE
EXOUGII IX PHILIPPINES.
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. The banks claim there is no more
room In their vaults for such deposits.
The Government authorities believe this
is not the real reason, but that the action
is taken with the obitct of forcing legis
lation on the whole currency question.

DEFECTS IN THE TARIFF.
Dolllvcr Sa)x Cohrt-cnm Cnn Be De
pended Upon to Correct Them,
DES MOINE3, la., Jan. 22. At the joint
session held at noon today of the Legis
lature the vote taken yesterday upon
United States Senators was formally rati
fied and certificates ordered Issued to Sen
ators Allison and Dolllver for terms of six
and five years respectively. 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.

"I cannot speak too highly qf the bene
fits that I have derlvd from the use or
Peruna. I had a severe cough and my
lungs seemed choked up with phlegm
which I had great difficulty in raising.
My head ached, my eyes were weak, and L
waa miserable. A friend advised me to
take Peruna. I had not much faith tn
patent medicine, but I tried one bottle of
Peruna. and I improved so much that I
kept on talcing it and I am now on the
third bottle and I am well."

"About a year ago I contracted a severe
cold which settled on mv Iun?s. I was
threatened with pneumonia, and realizes
that I mu3t talca some immediate steps
to prevent a serious lunc. As several
friends have used Peruna with good re
sults. I decided to give it a trial, and
found 'that It gave me relief within a
couple of days. The soreness w.is greatly
diminished. I was greatly benefited and
I was gradually restored to health.
Three bottles saved be a larse doctor
bill, and a great deal of suffering. 1
firmly believe that Peruna Is a high-class
medicine and have perfect confidence In
Its curative ability."
