THEY MAY SEE A NEW LIGHT Opponents of Reduction of Tariff on Philippine Products Are in Party of Congressmen Talk of Junket Impossible. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ngton. April S. Secretary Taft was wise In making up the personnel of the party which is to accompany him to the Philippines- Xot only has he arranged it so as to prevent partisan criticism of the trip as a so-called Junket, but he has also arranged to take on this tour of educa tion men who have severely criticised the policy of the Administration, and espc tially the management of the Philippines. Of the nine Senators who accompany him, six Daniel of Virginia, Dubois of Idaho, Poster of Louisiana, Newlands of Ne vada, Patterson of Colorado and Stone of Missouri are Democrats- The severest critic of the Philippine policy of the Ad ministration In the Senate, with one cx tepton, Is Patterson of Colorado. No man has been so hitter in his denunciation of the retention of the islands, of the meth ods pursued, by the Army in the Phil ippines, or of the so-called colonial policy of the Government, as Patterson. Among the Representatives are five Democrats, and one of them is the ablest man on the Democratic side De Armond of Missouri. Ho is no such orator as Bourke Cockran, of New York, who also accompanies the Secretary, but these two together will represent in the next House of Representatives the strongest element of the Democratic party. Another Dem ocrat who has always opposed the Gov ernment in its Philippine policy and who Is the ranking minority member of the Insular committee, is Jones of Virginia. While Jones Is no such strong speaker as cither De Armond or .Cockran, he has a fund of information which he has always had ready for his friends of the minority whenever Philippine affairs were boing discussed. V May-Change Opinion on Tariff. Of course "it is'expected that those men n ho are going on the trip" will be edu cated regarding the Islands and will be ready at the next session of Congress to legislate more intelligently for them. It is interesting in this connection to note that Dubois. Foster and Patterson, the staunchest opponents of reduction of the duty on Philippine sugar, are In the party. These three men represent Louisiana cane-sugar growers, and the beet-sugar Interests of the Rocky Mountain region. They hare been able in two successive Congresses to defeat legislation for the reduction of the duty on Philippine sugar and tobacco from 76 to 25 per cent of tho Dmgley rates. "Whether they will re turn with the same fixed ideas remains to be sen. but it would not be strange if they should see a new light after visiting the islands. There are a number of men in the party who are strongly in favor of reducing the duty on Philippine prod ucts coming into this country, and some are willing to grant free trade. If Mr. Taft succeeds In convincing men who are ?o bitterly opposed to the reduction of this duty ho will have - accomplished a great deal, and the result of the trip will be worth many times more than it will cost the Philippine government. Cannot Call It a Junket. It is doubtful whether any particular criticism will be passed upon the -expedition or that It will be referred to as a Junket, bocause of the prominence of the men in the party and the fact that both parties are wolf represented." It Iff not likely that the members of the House are going to say things that would be person alJy offensive to Speaker Cannon and Mr. Payne, leader of the majority, and men like De Armond and Cockran, of the mi nority. The men who 'accept the invita tion are bound to defend the trip if it is criticised, and while some criticisms are already afloat through the papers, those who are most familiar with Philippine affairs think that the personal observa tion -of These Congressmen is the best thing that can happen for -the Philippine Islands. SMITH'S EIGHT POB LIBERTY Raise Legal Points Against Extradi tion to" New York. CINCINNATI. April " 3. The contest by J. Morgan Smith and wife, relatives of Nan Patterson, against extradition, and Hie fight against the New York de tectives will go hand In hand. This was indicated by the proceedings in court to day. Mr. Shay, attorney for the de fense, asiked for time to prepare an an swer. The court granted until "Wednes day, when the habeas corpus proceedings will be disposed of. Mr. Shay was asked what he intended to do about the letters of the Smiths that were taken by the detectives and sent to New York, no ropllcd that action would be taken against the offi cers. When the habeas corpus case in be half of Smith was called Shay alleged that the information or affidavit upon which the Smiths are held in Cincinnati was made out after the writ of habeas corpus had been issued. "If this is true, the persons now in custody are held Illegally and ought to oe set free." said Judge Spiecel. I wish to procure witnesses to show that this is true." said Mr. Shay, -and therefore ask for a continuance." "Your honor." said Prosecuting At torney Rullson. "we have all of the papers here to hold these poople with the exception of the copy of the Indict ment. We telegraphed to New York Saturday afternoon and received word that tho copy was being made In all haste and would be expressed hore im mediately, nils morning by long-distance telephone we ascertained that tho papers had been sent, and wo have been trying all morning to locate the money wagon of the Adams Express Company, In which the package will be found. The package arrived here this morning, but so far has not been delivered. We are ready to go on with the habeas corpus proceedings, but ask for a continuance In the matter of the extradition." The court then - continued the ca.se. re manding the prisoners to the County Jail in charge of the Sheriff. The nucleus of the defends conten tion is that tho requisition papers, wore 7iot issued by Governor Herrick. but -by a clerk and that the issue of papers of extradition is an executive prerogative which cannot be delegated. Vlrn the papers were issued Governor Herrlck and his party were in Texas. He had left with his executive clerk a number of forms of extradition papers signed in blank. It was one of these blanks that was duly filled out for the return of "the Smiths to New York. Recreant Preacher Goes to Prison. NEW BRUNSWICK. N. J., April S.

White Bull, a proud Cay- use braye. tilled up on firewater and ' started up the railroad track, and meet- ! ing a train on the same track, has joined his fathers In the happy hunting-grounds. t White Bull, or Tu-sum-hl-hi. as he was christened by his Cayuse mother, was one of the. most prominent Indians on the Umatilla reservation, and within the past year lias been a gallant of the most pro- ' nounccd type. He was born on the res- ervatlon ten miles oast of Pendleton, 43 years ago, and lcavs a wh"e and one child. J About a year ago "White Bull, becoming weary of the burdens .of mannglng a farm, ."old off his land, realizing $3000 from j the sale. He did not know exactly what ( to do with his money, and so begau mak- j Ing presents to his friends and relatives. For three weeks the many friends of the generous brave enjoyed his hospital- ity and lived from his bounty. Ho gave 1 presents of "chaps," saddles, lariats, sil- i ver spurs and gorgeous robes to, all the young bucks of his acquaintance, and to ' place the cap sheaf on his fit of generos- ' ity. Invited 2. bucks to a feast at the Jap- anese noodle restaurant on Cottonwood j street, in Pendleton. This is said to have i been the "swellest" spread to which an . Indian was ever Invited in Pendleton. , White Bull was the hero of the evening, , and the Japanese wondered what position the Cayuse held among his people that he . should thus spend his Income. After his generosity waxed cool on the Umatilla reservation he decided to pay a visit to his cousins, the Yakimas, and accordingly gathered hiK 25 poules to gether, and taking his wife and children and a few select friends.," crossed over to the Yakima reservation, 'where he once more opened hie purse to his wondering incnos ana relatives. I The saddle-makers in North Yakima re- 1 ported the heaviest sales of the year dm- j J ing the three weeks this plutocratic brave f from Umatilla was in the city. . 7 White Bull was an intelligent Indian, shrewd, aggressive and a leader among his tribesmen, but he was a slae to ' drink, and had been repeatedly warned I f by Major Moorhouse. his best friend, to I beware of the danger. J At the time of death, last Sunday night he had but little of bis $3000 left, having spent most of it ror whisky. His drunken orgies at his tepee on the reservation are said to have been gruesome and disgust ing. He took the name . White -Bull from an ancient Indian flustom.

The devel opments resulting from Emperor Will lam's speech at Tangier Friday continue to attract great discussion In the press and in diplomatic circles. The sober view is that the German Emperor seized on a favorable opportunity to read France a lesson for leaving Germany out of con sideration In the French-British under standing regarding Morocco, with the view poselbly of compelling France to make a permanent renunciation of her aspira tions regarding Metz and Alsace-Lorraine, also with the' practical purpose of securing a vote in the Reichstag next Fall for a larger nava programme. There Is no serious Idea that the inci dent may lead to a conflict. With Russia on fee bled. France will have to look to Great Britain to play tho role of protec tor assumed by Russia when Germany threatcned her in 1873, and there is a good deal of speculation on tho subject of the new grouping of the powers. The homo papers, however, declare that while the British press may bluster. Great Britain has her quid pro quo In Egypt and will leave France to take care df herself. The Novoo Vreraya says that the action of Emperor Willlam'Is a very bold etroke on tho part of Germany and a further ovldence of her rialry with Great Britain more than with France. The paper char acterizes His Majesty's proclamation as a "Teutonic Monroe Doctrinejn Northern Africa for the protection of the Mussul mans," pointing out the manner In which German commercial Interests are spread ing In the Balkans and the Increase of Germany's political influence in Turkey, where she is seeking to block Great Brit ain's scheme to sever Arabia for the pur pose of joining It .to Egypt. The Gazette says It thinks the German Emperor made a great blunder, which can only result In embittering the anti-German feeling, both In France and Great Britain, in bringing out better relations tootwecn France and Great . Britain and emphasizing the isolation of Germany. The Foreign Office Is reticent, declining to do .more than to express the opinion that the Tangier incident increases the difficulty of the position of France's ally. THREW SOP TO MAHOMMEDANS Kaiser's Address to Sultan Favored Reform on Islamic Lines. LONDON, April -1. The correspondent at Tangier of the Times asserts that the correct version of Emperor William's conversation with representatives of the Sultan of Morocco is as follows: "The Emperor declared that he had come expressly to Tangier to assert that he would maintain the absolute equality of German economic and commercial rights and that ho would not allow any power to obtain preferential advantages. Tho Sultan, he said, was the free sov ereign of a free country and Germany would Insist on always carrying on her affairs with him and would never allow any power to net as an Intermediary. "The present was an unsuitable time to introduce reforms on European lines and all refrms should be founded on Is lamic lines and traditions. What Morocco required was absolute peace and quiet and he would find means later on of making his opinion known on questions of detail. Finally, the Emperor declared that he had mado these views quite clear in a conversation with the French charge d'affaires." FRANCE FEELS THE SHOCK. Kaiser's Speech Almost Open Affront, but Government Is Passive. PARIS, April 3. The Morocco incident is dally making a dceper" Impression, and while calmness continues to prevail, there Is a growing sense of the rudeness of the shock which Emperor William's visit to Tangier and his declarations give to French policies. However, for the present It is evident that the purpose is to adopt a passive attitude and await the develop ment of events. This was shown by a conference at the Foreign Office today between Foreign Minister Delcasse and sevoral deputies who wished to question him In the Chamber concerning Morocco. The Foreign Minister asked for an ad journment of the questions, saying there was nothing to add to what he had al ready stated in the Senate. Accordingly the questions were Indefinitely postponed. The Temps tonight says the authorized version of Emperor William's remarks at il Tu-sroi-m-in 10 years of age he was blindfolded and j led to the top of a high hill, whore his O cs were uncvercd- arid the first thing Tangier makes It useless to deny the disobliging character of such words, which "constitute almost the maximum, short of openly quarreling with France, that William II could attempt in order to be disagreeable." . However, the general tone of the press is singularly frco from belligerent or menacing talk. ITALIANS READY POR CASTRO Warships at Hand to Castigate Him if Necessary. ROME. April 3.
