IXp fcROUGHTOUT AT DEBATE
Levering, Republican, Creates Anoth
"rSSnsa'tlon by -Declaring Ship of
Business Nears Rocks, While
.Colleagues Talk "Stand Pat:'
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29. During consid
eration of the District of Columbia ap
propriation bill In the House today, Scott
(Kan.1) made the declaration that a negrro
had dined at the White House with Pres
ident Cleveland during the tatter's first
administration. The statement was
proapted by a reference by Gilbert (Dem.
Ky.) to the dining of Booker T. Washing
ton at the White House. When the name
was demanded Scott said it was C H. J.
Taylor, who was appointed by President
Cleveland as Recorder of Deeds for the
District of Columbia.
Gilbert observed that he and others
never heard of the Incident but the Demo
crats were not "particularly claiming"
Mr. Cleveland, and Cockran (Dem. Mo.)
said It was but cumulative evidence that
"there is no better Republican in the
country than Grover Cleveland."
A discussion of reciprocity by Dalzell
(Rep. Pa.) and Williams (Miss.) the minor
ity leader, consumed the greater portion
of the day. Another feature of the day
was the declaration by Lovering (Mass.)
that while the Republican party was talk
ing: about "standing pat" thousands of
dollars were being lost to manufacturers
and "that our boasted prosperity Is fast
coming to an end" because of the failure
of the party to enlarge the drawback
system and give the new markets which
he declared were now demanded. s
Castor (Rep.), elected to succeed the late
Mr. Burke, from the Third Pennsylvania
District, was sworn in when the" House
convened today.- The House then went
into committee of the whole to consider
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill.
After McCleary "(Minn.), who is in
charge of the bill, had explained its pro
visions, Gilbert (Dem. Ky.) took up the
history of the Republican party, propos
ing to show what the party Is for and
for what It stands.
Referring to the declaration of a Re
publican platform for "freedom and equal
ity," Gilbert mentioned the retention of
Mrs. Cox as postmaster at Indianola,
Miss., and to the appointment of Crum as
Collector of Customs at Charleston, S.
C, and he made reference to the dining
of Booker T. Washington at. the White
House, undertaking to describeHhe seating
of the President's family at the table.
Scott (Kan.) asked Gilbert if he would
criticise .a Democratic President If he
should have a negro dine with him as
severely as he criticised President Roose
velt. impossible to the Democrats.
"An impossible assumption." declared
Gilbert.
Scott asked him If he did not know that
a negro dined at the White House dur
ing President Cleveland's first adminis
tration, to which Gilbert replied the Dem
ocrats were not particularly claiming Mr.
Cleveland and that he was not a first
class Democrat.
Scott then said C. H. J. Taylor, a netrro
from -Kansas, was brought to Washington
and was taken to the White House, when
Mr. Cleveland invited him to dine with
him, which Invitation, he said, was ac
cepted. Scott drew a contrast between
Booker Washington and Taylor, saying
the former was a man of recognized abil
ity and had been the guest of distin
guished people at home and abroad. In
cluding Queen Victoria, and declared the
latter had nothing to commend him save
that ho carried the Democratic negro Trote
in his pocket. He further said Taylor had
been appointed to a position in Washing
ton. "And by Cleveland," suggested a
voice on the Republican side.
Continuing. Gilbert said that In the
Spanish War there were General Miles,
commanding General of the Army? Ad
miral Dewey at Manila, Admiral Schley.
Generals Lee, Wheeler and Bell, all of
whom were Democrats. On the other side,
he said, there was a member of the Re
publican Cabinet accused of sending em
balmed beef to the soldiers.
"Then," he said, "there was a Repub
lican horse doctor sent to Cuba, who was
accused of befriending the gamblers and
lawbreakers." He referred to the convic
tion of Rathbone and Neely, and alluded
to General Funston, who, he charged, had
violated the rules of civilized warfare In
wearing the uniform of an enemy In the
capture of Agulnaldo. He next referred
to General Davis, "who," he said, "sold
rice and other provisions to starving na
tives at enormous profits."
Dalzell (Pa.), discussing Canadian reci
procity, said after an exhaustive research
he was unable to find a single argument
which would Justify the negotiation of a
reciprocity treaty between the United
States and Canada.
Sayshlp of Business Nears Rocks.
Levering (Mass.) aroused the minority
to applause when he declared that "while
wo are talking about standing pat the
great ship of business Is drifting on the
rocks and. our boasted prosperity is fast
coming to an end."
Lovering prefaced this by saying that
millions, of dollars had been lost to manu
facturers and thousand- laborers had
been .deprived of work because the Gov
ernment had not enlarged the drawback
system. The remedy, he said, was easy.
The relief demanded, he declared, could
be secured by a' simple amendment to the
drawback feature of the administrative
act of the DIngley law. and this could be
done, he said, without interfering with a
single schedule or in any wise revising
the tariff. He differed, he said, from Dal
rell (Pa.) in the matter of a demand for
new markets for goods of American man
ufacture. The manufacturers wanted an
outlet for their surplus products, and the
demand for the new markets caused them
to realize that production had passed be
yond domestic consumption. He urged the
South to increase the output of cotton,,
and said Jmrnlcratlon was needed greatly"
in the South. These things, he said, would
aid materially in solving the race ques
tion. The House adjourned until tomor
row at 4:15 P. M.
SENATE IS HARD ON ARCHITECT
White House Alterations the Subject
of General Criticism.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 29. The architec
tural changes xnadeTJn. the White House
supplied the subject of a large .share
of today's dlscussion;In,the Senate, and
they were generally criticised as falling
far short of the improvements " which'
should "have been secured' with the $500,000
appropriated for the purpose. The discus
sion rose in connection with consideration
of the bill providing for the erection of a
building for the joInt'"use of the Depart
rcents,'of State, Justice and Commerce and
Labor! . Consideration of the bill was not.
concluded.
The "bill was taken up soon after the
Senate convened. During the course of the
debate a question arose as to an archi
tect, and Cockrell asked:
"Isn't the architect the same man who
built that magnificent office building on
the White House grounds?"
"The same man," said Hale.
"There are second-class lawyers offices
all over the country better .than that,"
said Cockrell.
Galllnger referred to the White House
changes, saying that work had been in
the hands of an architect of great
reputation. He said that as a result of
his efforts a part of the Executive Man
sion had been spoiled, and the office of the
President was an eyesore and not fit to
accommodate a second-class lawyer or
doctor.
Dryden, who contended for liberal allow
ance to architects, said he agreed that
the White House additions are not of
seemly appearance. "But," he added, "it
must be borne In mind that architects are
often placed at a disadvantage by the
dictation of the employers."
Newlands said the architect had to de
cide whether to preserve the original char
acter of the White House or to alter the
character of that building.
Bailey called attention to the necessity
for an office building, for the use of Sen
ators, saying the Senate annex was so
unsafe that Senators were not allowed to
carry books to their rooms In that build
ing. Newlands suggested that an annex to
the Senate be constructed like that to the
White House.
Without completing consideration of the
bill the Senate went into executive ses
sion at 5:34 P. M., and at 5:39 P. M. adjourned.

NO TAX ON PHILIPPINE BONDS
Purpose of Bill Authorizing Issue for
Improvements.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 29. Representa
tive Cooper, of Wisconsin, Introduced a bill
today amending In "several ways the act
providing a civil form of government, for
the Philippines. The bill was prepared by
Searetary Taft. Its first provision is that
all bonds Issued by the government of the
Philippines shall be exempt from taxa
tion either by the Government of the
United States or the government of the
Philippines. Five per cent bonds to the
amount of $10,000,000 are authorized for
public Improvements in the Philippines.
These bonds are to be approved by the
President and Secretary of War, and are
to be used to provide for port and harbor
works, roads, bridges, provincial and mu
nicipal schools. Courthouses and penal In
stitutions. Five per cent municipal bonds
are also authorized to carry on munici
pal Improvements, such bonded indebted
ness of any one municipality not to ex
ceed 10 per centum of the assessed valua
tion of property In such municipality.
The bill provides that the Immigration
laws of the United States in force in the
Islands shall be administered by the offi
cers of the Philippine government. The
land measurements which, in the original
act, were in acres, were changed to the
metric system which, prior to that time,
prevailed in the islands.
A provision guaranteeing earnings on
railroad capital to be invested In the
Islands, which Is regarded, as an Impor
tant step toward advan-ilng the civil
conditions in the islands, Is contained in
the bill as follows:
"That the government of the Philip
pines Is hereby authorized to aid In the
construction, maintenance "and operation
of railroads In the Philippines, either by
guaranteeing a certain number of bonds
to be issued for the purpose of raising
funds to be Invested in the construction
and equipment of the said railroads, under
proper restriction to be enacted by the
Philippine Commission or any succeeding
Legislature of tho islands, to secure the
actual use in said construction of the
money to be realized from said bonds, or
by a legislative guarantee of said govern
ment of the Philippine Islands that the
capital actually invested in the construc
tion and equipment of said railroads shall
yield, a net income nqt to exceed 4 per
centum per annum; provided, that the
amount of capital to which said guarantee
shall apply shall be fixed and set uorth
Jn the act of guarantee, and that the
some act shall apply sufficient rules and
governmental supervision for ascertaining
clearly the capital actually Invested in
such railroads and the income actually re
ceived on the capital so invested; pro
vided further, that the annual pecuniary
liability of thc government of the Phillp
plneIslands " under this section, whether
in bonds or any guarantee of Investment

shall never exceed 51,500,000 In United
States money and provided further that
said guarantee In bond or Investments
shall not be valid unless approved by the
President of the United States and the
Secretary of War."
Secretary Taft was Impelled to ask
Congress for authority to Issue bonds by
reason of the fact that the current re
ceipts of the island have been falling off
lately, the loss last month being 5200,000,
and either Important Improvements must
cease, or some part of their cost be placed
upon posterity. Extensive work of internal
Improvements has been going on in the
islands for the past four years. All of
these works, building of breakwaters and
docks, construction of roads, erection of
schoolhouses and bridges, in fact all sorts
of necessary work to develop the islands
permanently, have been paid, for by the
Philippine government out of the cash re
ceipts. Not one cent of indebtedness has
been incurred.
This issue, if authorized, will have noth
ing to do with the proposition to authorize
the Philippine government to guarantee 4
per cent on railroad Investments In the
islands.
Pray for Reduction-of Tariff.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29. Secretary Taft
today transmitted to the House the peti
tion of the Tobaccoworkers' Guild of the
Philippine Islands, praying for a reduc
tion In the tariff on tobacco. The guild Is
declared to reDresent 6000 tobareo-
workers. The petition states that these
worKers received twice the wages under
Spanish rule that they do now, the daily
wage at that time being 50 cents. Prices
of the necessaries of life. It is said, have
increased three-fold under American rule.
Alleged Anarchist Out on Bail.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. In the Su
preme Court of the United States today an
order was issued for the release of John
Turner, on ball, and setting the hearing
of his case by the court for- April 4.
Turner Is a British subject who was
taken In custody upon arrival In New
York last October on the charge of being
an anarchist, and his deportation ordered.
He was detained at Ellis Island and Insti
tuted habeas corpus proceedings in the
Circuit Court His petition for a writ was
denied, and he brought the case to the
Supreme Court
It ts alleged In behalf of Turner that
he Is only a theoretical anarchist He
came to the United -States to engage in
lecturing and writing. The application for
release on ball was partly for the purpose
of permitting Turner to fill lecture en
gagements, in other countries.
