THE ISSUES
OF THE DAY
Payne Speech keceives
Prolonged Applause
TARIFF REVISION PLANK
Devoted Attention to Bryan Whom
He Accused of Crediting Roose
velt With Larceny.
IN PURLOINING HIS IDEAS
Aa for the Republicans he Said They
Would be at the Polls Next No
vember with a Platform That Meant
Something.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The tar
iff revision and the President's recent
special message to Congress were the
main topics of discussion in the
House today. As has been the case
for nearly a week, the Indian appro
priation bill it ostensibly before the
House but in no quarter wat any
word spoken in regard to it. The
House had apparently made up its
mind to discuss the issue of the day
and no effort was made to check the
flow of general debate, which will be
continued tomorrow. The long speech
of Payne, New York, majority leader,
is considered important because of his
assurance that a tariff revision plank
would be incorporated into the Re
publican nationii convention's plat
form this year. He devoted some at
tention to Bryan whom he accused of
goin about the country crediting
Roosevelt with grand or petit larceny
in purloining his ideas. In his
House today Payne paid a tribute (o
Theodore Roosevelt. He said that he
has a warmer place in the hearts of
the American people ,in the hearts of
plain men, in the hearts Of intelligent
citizens, in the hearts of the righteous
citizens of this country than has ever
been occupied by any public man in
this country! Here Payne received a
prolonged applause.
Discussing some of the President's
recommendations Payne said he
hoped before the close Of the session
a bill would be passed modifying the
employers' liability act, although he
said it was one of the most difficult
pieces of legislation with which Con
gress had to deal.
Payne said undoubtedly that some
simple financial legislation was neces
sary and he thought the Aldrich bill
with some few additions Would meet
the emergency. Payne charged that
the Democratic party is a part. of
negation. As for the Republicans he
said they wouKTbe at the polls next
November with a platform that meant
something. They would declare on
the tariff question' in no uncertain
manner, and that they will declare for
the tariff revision.

Than Appears on the Surface, and
the Situation is Not Improved.
LISBON, Feb. 5. The situation
here is quiet. The troops are less
conspicuous and if Saturday, the day
of the funerals, passes without inci
dent, the present crisis may be re-j
gard as at an end. ;

crown prince on Saturday will be at
tended with ceremonies of a most im
pressive dignity and with tSe display
of all that mourning pageantry which
attends the obsequies of Portuguese
monarch. The ceremonie will be
gin at 10 o'colck in the morning.
In spite of the present tranquility
throughout the country there are pes
simists who believe the revolutionary
activity is more widely spread than
appears on the surface and that the
situation is not improved by the com
bination of a young and inexperienced
king under the dominance of his
adored mother with reactionary cleri
cal tendencies, a makeshift ministry
and a premier who is a socialist
rather than a statesman. -
Pessimists oeiieve franco is ar
ranging the selection, of a new leader
?F th? generator of the progressive
party. Franco's father was attacked
by a mob on the street today.
The king today signed several de
crees of conciliatory tendencies.
