that there shall be no dissension, he has
axreed that the amount of sugar and to
bacco which should be allowed free entry
should be restricted. With that end in
view. It is understood that the sugar in
terests have agreed to a compromise by
which Sfti.OOO tons of sugar will be ad
mitted from the Philippines annually
free of duty and that all sugar over that
amount will pay the present rate of
duty, which is 25 per cent less than. the
duty Imposed by the Dingley tariff. Large
beet-sugar manufacturers were in con

sociation of Manufacturers, who has ap
peared before the Commission several

not define it as meaning that enough for
a reasonable profit should be added to the
duty in addition to making the tariff suf
ficiently high to equalize the cost of
production' in this, country and abroad.
Mr, Miles offered In evidence several in
vokes which, he said, proved that Amer
ican manufacturers offer their goods to
foreign buyers at prices that are 25
to 40 per cent lower than the domestic
prices. .

Hepburn, of Iowa, presided and was
authorized to name a committee of five
with himself as chairman to draft the
proposed amendments to the rules and
report to the organization. The in
surgents considered the various sugges
tions for more than two hours.
Mr. Hepburn said the plans proposed
for changing the rules would be consid
ered by the committee he would name.
He desired to make It known that all of
the members Invited to the meeting with
the exception of Representative Norris,
of Nebraska, who is out of town, were
present.
Can Win, With Democrats Aid.
Those interested have been proceeding
quietly with their plans with the ap
parent purpose of increasing their num
ber sufticlently to be able to control the
situation by Joining the Democrats in a
fight on the rule3. The "insurgents" say
that in the present Congress they need
but 27 Republicans to Join the Demo
crats In order to bring about a change
In the rules, while In the Klst Congress
they say they will need but 24 Repub
licans. Three members present tonight.
Hepburn. Pollard and Ellis, will not -be
members of the next Congress.
Friendly to Cannon.

for Mr. Cannon for Speaker, they made
it piafn that they greatly desired a
change in the rules. '
"There were no expressions except
those of friendly feeling for the
Speaker," said Mr. Hepburn after the
meeting. "Nobody said anything
against Mr. Cannon."
He said the general feeling was that.
If, under the rules, the House must
have a despotic ruler, there was no one
they would rather have than "Uncle
Joe."
Proposed Change in Rules.
Several new suggestions In addition
to those already advanced were made
at the meeting. To Increase the mem
bership of the rules committee of the
House has been the popular suggestion,
and it has been proposed to have this
committee elected by the House mem
bers. Instead of being named by the
Speaker. The election In a like man
ner of a committee on committees to
perform duties similar to a like body
In the Senate, also, has been proposed
by leaders In the movement. Another
plan proposed Is to set two Thursdays
apart each month for the consideration
of bills on the House calendar, and the
remaining Thursdays for the consider
ation of measures on the union calen
dar.
None of those present would state
whether It was intended to bring the
matter to an Issue In the present ses
sion of Congress or to wait for the
new Congress.
Among those present were McKlnley

Wolgast ' Outfights Champion
at Los Angeles.
CROWD HOOTS CALIFORNIAN
looser Condemned for Poor Show
ing Spectators Divided as to
Winner, Although -Mil autoc
all Rushed the Fighting.
RINGSIDE LOS ANGELES. Dec. 11.
Ad Wolgast, of Milwaukee, outfought
Abe Attell. the featherweight champion,
before the Pacific Athletic Club here
tonight The fight went for 10 rounds,
with no official decision permitted un
der the law.
There was a division of sentiment re
garding a fair Verdict. However, Wol
gast rushed the fighting in every round
backing Attell all around the ring and
landing frequently heavy swings to the
jaw and stomach that shook the cham
pion severely.
Wolgast took a world of punishment
without - flinching and never took a
backward step. He was strong at the
finish, although he bled from'the face
from the second round.
Attell fought lazily and entirely on
the defensive, and seemed to show little
of his old-time speed and cleverness ex
cept in a couple of short rallies. In
these rallies Wolgast fought Attell to a
standstill and often forced the champion
to break away from the clinches by his
fusillade of blows to the Body. Wol
gast showed wonderful blocking ability
and took much of Attell's straight jabs
on his gloves.
The men weighed in at 6 o'clock at
12 pounds-. Charley Eyton was referee.
The general opinion was that Attell did
not half try to do his best, and he was
roundly hooted for his showing on leav
ing the ring. The crowd was 4000.
