Friday, Jan. 12. Waghington, Jan. 1J.— Interest was injected into the Philippine tariff de bate in the house today by “ Massachu setts idea” tariff expressions by Mc Call, of that state, by a character study of the Filipino by Longworth, of Ohio, and by a defense of President Roosevelt by Pou, a Democrat from North Caro lina. Besides these there were a num ber of speeches delivered on the merits of the bill, nearly all of which were in opposition to it. During the day an agreement was reached whereby the debate is to con tinue for two days more. The house is to meet at 11 o’clock tomorrow and Monday to close general debate at 5 o’ clock. The measure w ill be taken up for amendment nnder the five minute rule Tuesdiay, and doubtless disposed of on that day. Thursday, January II. Washington, Jan. 11.— Before going into executive session today, the senate l ’stened to a speech by Heyburn in support of his bill creating a national board for the control of corporations, in which he denounced Wall street be cause of its alleged interference with the affairs cf the country. He said that when the “ street” could not dic tate the financial course of the govern ment, it was ever ready to threaten disaster, and ha pleaded for legislation that would rob it of Buch power for evil. The remainder of the open session was devoted to a discussion of the prac tice of the senate of sending resolutions to the calendar after they had been under discussion. Bacon raised the point of order that there was no rule requiring such a course, and said his Moroccan resolution had been improp erly placed on the calendar. He also contended that the resolution had not had a day’ s discussion. The matter was not disposed of in open session. Raiders Murder Herders, Slaughter Sheep and Burn Camp. Denver, Jan. 12. — An Evanston, W yo., special to the Tribune says: | Masked and mounted raiders, pre sumed to be cattlemen, last night at tacked the camps of two Utah flock- ! masters near Burnt Fork, close to the Utah-Wyoming line, shot down A. N. Garsite and Robert Allen, herders, slaughtered the sheep, and btrued the camp wagons and outfits. A camp mover who escaped the bul lets of the raiders witnessed the battle from the brush. The raiders num bered about 20, and approached the camps at a gallop, firing a fusillade of shots into the wagons. The herders were killed at the first fire. It re quired less than half an hour to club the sheep to death and burn the out« fits, when the raiders departed. No tices of warning to other flockmaeters were left with the bodies of the dead herders. Sheepmen are indignant, threaten to get even, and more trouble is antici pated. The range on which the out rage was committed has long been in dispute, and the sheepmen have been frequently ordered away. B LAM ES A L L O N M O R O C C O . German Delegate Says Minister Mis understood French Minister. Paris, Jan. 12.— W ith the approach of the Algeciras convention on Moroc can reforms, the newspapers devote greater Bpace to discussion of the ques tion. Public opinion everywhere is that the issue of the conference w ill be amicable has been practically decided. The Journal’ s Madrid correspondent sends an interview with the Germa am bassador at Madrid, Herr von Rado- witz,who is also the principal German delegate to the convention. The am bassador, the correspondent says, has no doubt of the favorable issue of the conference. He believes the whole dis agreement is due to the Moroccan min ister’ s not understanding or misinter preting the words of the French minis ter to Morocco, w illfu lly or otherwise, and says if the sultan’ s delegates try to prevent an agreement being reached by the powers, as it has been suggested they would do, they w ill find them selves in a most serious situation.
