TARIFF IS THRESHED
House Listens to jSpeech by
Williams on "Stand Pat"
TAKES REPUBLICANS TO TASK
Army Appropriation Bill Is Consid
ered in Committee of the Whole,
and New York Democrat the
Only Member to Oppose.
"WASHINGTON", Jan. 2L The Army ap
propriation bill was under consideration in
the committee of the whole today for five
hours, most of which was devoted to a
general discussion of the tariff question.
Hull (la.), chairman of the committee on
military affairs, explained the provisions
of the Army bill, and Parker (N. J.), and
Prince (I1L) paid tribute to the Army
as now organized.
Williams, the minority leader, taking the
phrase "stand pat" for his text, made a
general arraignment of Republican poli
cies, and. declared the Republican party
had become one of negation. Replying to
& question by Watson (Ina.) ne saia uj
tariff should be revised. If he had the
power he would bring about a Democratic
tariff, but it would take time.
The only opposition to the Army bill
was made by Baker (Dcm., N. Y.) who
said he was opposed to war.
When the House convened a resolution
called Tip by Gardner (N. J.), chairman
of the committee on labor, asking the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor for a
statement showing the number of horses
onri rorrlnces maintained at the expense
of the Government for officials in his de
partment and the names of the officials
using them, was adopted.
On motion of Hull (la.), chairman of
the committee on -military affairs, the
House went into committee of the whole
to consider the Army appropriation bill.
Five hours debate was agreed upon. Af
ter Hull had explained he features of the
bill Porker (N. J.) was recognized. In
speaking for tho bill he paid a high trib
ute to Secretary Root, and pointed out
the many reforms which he said had been
brought about under his administration.
Williams on "Stand Pat."
Williams, the minority leader, in dis
cussing the "stand-pat" policy of the ma
jority party, talked at length on his pend
ing bill repealing the duty on coal. He
read from the testimony before the House
committee on investigation of the last
Congress of the coal question to show that
coal was 67 cents less a ton during the
year than before the tariff was repealed.
Payne (N. Y.) asserted that the price
of coal was not less to the consumer dur
ing this period.
Williams combatted this statement, and
asked Payne why his party did not "stand
fnr- f eoal. He declared It was
Impossible to And out what the Republl
ran nnrtv -was "standing pat" on.
"It was only a few days ago," he con
tinued, "that the great I Am ot me e
n.,Mifn nnrtv delivered a speech in which
he said, 'We hold the ace.' Now, I had
a private and confidential conversation
with a gentleman of this House this morn
ing, and he told mo he did not know a
.inri mtnn nf cards In which the ace
wins."
What Republicans Have Got.
Til tell you what we have got that
.does win." interjected Palmer va.j. we
i,nv itrnlcht flush."
"Well." rejoined Williams, "I do not
know what a 'straight flush' Is, but you
have not got as much 'of a flush as you
are said to have. Things are not so flush
no hfv were a while back."
Wlllinms asked If the Republicans were
n "Rtnnd nat" on the currency
question, and on the trust question, and
called attention to his bill declaring over
capitalization a public swindle. He asked
If thcv were going to "standDat" on the
postoffico investlgatlpn. and asked why
they had not permitted an investigation
by a committee of the House. He asked
ir , worp irolntr to "stand pat" on tho
public land business, and if they purposed
to "stand pat" on the ship subsidy ques
tion or to let that drift "along until after
election. He charged tnai uie nupuim
becoming a party of negation.
Baker (Dem.. N. Y.) opposed the Army
bill on the ground that he was opposed
to war. and would not vote 10 appropn
oto mnnov for nrcDaraUons for war.

To the admission of this transcript Charles
A. Iouglas objected. Taking up the docu

the Government, contended that it was
admissible, and remarked that in looking
over it, it appeared that by strict economy
Machen, on a salary of $3500 a year, had
managed to make $20,000 a year. This
brought forth a storm of protest from
counsel for the defense, who appealed to
the court to let Machen be tried only on
one charge at a time. In the midst of the
argument an adjournment was taken until
tomorrow.
Immediately after court convened, Mr.
Kumler, for the defense, presented three
affidavits from persons who alleged that

COMPARISON OF THE MILITARY AND NAVAL FORCES OF
RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
As the war cloud in the East darkens, the military and naval critics are
turning their attention more closely to the forces of the opposing nations. The
data in government archives are being overhauled to get at the facts, but still
a large part of the computations must remain mere guesswork, the actual
fighting strength of their armies and navies being known only to Russia and
Japan. The naval figures for Russia are deceptive, as they Include a tabulation
of forces in the Black Sa and in the Baltic that never can come in conflict with
Japan. It is the same with the Czar's army, which is scattered all the way half
across the world from Cronstadt to "Vladivostok. On the other hand, Japan's
strength, is concentrated at vital points, with Its basis strategically arranged,
and ready to strikeswhen the word is given. It should also be remembered that
Japan, a nation of sailors, will fight, if it must, in home waters, and In this re
spect will have a great advantage over Russia. These facts should be kept in
view in comparing the subjoined figures, which are gleaned from sources that
are believed" be trustworthy.

Gigantic ' Business Done by
This Enterprising Firm a
Marvel to Everybody.
The question was again asked us yester
day: "Where do all these pianos go?
From the way this single firm sells them
I should think everybody in the country

ElJers Piano House stupendous, and ever

whoso success is marked by their demand
for the very finest and most costly pianos

CORDAGE INTERESTS FEAR BILL
Plan to Give American Ships Control
of Philippine Trade Is Discussed.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 21. The Senate
committee on Philippines gave a hearing
tortnv on Senator roes Din extenaing
the coastwise laws of the United States
tn tha trade with the Philippine Islands,
io that ull commerce between the islands
nd the United States shall oe carriea Dy
Amprlean vessels.
A. P. Lorlng, president of the Plymouth
Cordage Company, of Plymouth. Mass.,
R.ild American vessels should be given
the bu?inoss betweon the United States
and tho Philippine Islands as soon as they
are prepared to take care of it. He asked
that the time the bill taice eaeci dc es
frmVd to Anrll 11. 1909. when the Span
ic eHr lrwn their rlcht. under tho
irkitv with Soaln. to engage in tho Phil
ir-jnA trjiiJa on a par with American
steamships. He thought by that time
competition between American vessels
would bo sufficient to carry on the trade
without resulting In material advance in
ficlg-ht lates. He said he was -willing the
I'M should pass. If it did not result In an
hiccase of more than 25 per cent over
th-j present freight rates.
It vf.is brought out that the Eastern
cortlago manufacturers fear the passage
of tho bill would build up the twine
manufacturing on the coast and wreck
tastern Industries. It developed that the
present freight rates on Manila hemp
amount to about 46c per 100 pounds, and
It was estimated by manufacturers that
tho freight rates by the passage of the
bill would be advanced fully Jl per 100
pounds. Under these conditions they rep
resented hat the trade In hemp would
return to London, where It centered prior
to the ornjnSng ot Philippine ports.
The Plymouth and Columbian Cordage
Companies, through their representatives,
told the committee thoy would agree to
enter into contracts with Amorlcan ship
ping companies to pay 10 per cent In
crease over the present freight rates paid
to foreign shippers for 100.000 tons of
Manila hemp per year. The Plymouth
Company representatives said that would
bo a contribution of $12,506 a year from
their company alone as a subsidy o
American ships.
Mr. Lodge announced that the shipping
interests would be heard next.
When the committee reconvened, Win
throp T. Marvin, of Boston, representing
the combined shipping interests, said there
were enough American ships to transact
the Philippine business. He said the
French subsidy was responsible for the
low rate made by French vessels between
Hawaii and San Francisco.
Senator Culberson asked what restraint
there would bo on American vessels if this
law was passed and a monopoly created.
Mr. Bewail, of Maine, thought the com.
petition between American vessels and

COLON, Jan. 21. No change has oc
