The debate is to close Monday at 5
o ’clock, the session to begin at 11 in
the morning.
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

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.
