Washington, A pril 2. — That the Payne bill was filled with riotous im perfections designed to cover .up the -extravagances o f tbe Republican ad ministration; that it did not redeem party pledges, and that it sounded tbe death knell o f tbe dominant party, ware some o f the criticisms passed upon the measure by the Democrats in the house today. An interesting feature o f the debate was the speech o f Psblo Ocampo de Leon, tbs Filipino commissioner, who attacked the provision fo r free trade w ith the Philippine islands. fr o m the fa r Sooth exactly opposite view s ware expressed regarding pro tection, Ranadeil, o f Louisiana, plead ing fo r it on behalf o f the industries o f hia state, while Spigbt, o f Missis sippi, and Clayton, o f Alabama, want ed free lumber, free hides, free boots and shoes, free bagging and free cot ton ties.

Washington, A pril 1.— General de bate on the ta riff was continued in the bouse o f representatives today and to night. The Payne bill came in fo r ita usual condemnation as a pretext and «bam . Gaines, o f W est Virginia, and McCall, o f Massachusetts, both mem bers o f the ways and means committee, defended the measure, although the Massachusetts member wanted some thing specific in it regarding the course to be pursued toward the Philippines. The anticipated action regarding the fixing o f a time fo r closing tbe debate was not taken, in view o f the complex situation in which tha Republican lead- ers found themselves. The method o f preparation, consider ation and probable passage o f the bill was tha basis o f a speech by De A r- mond, o f M issouri.. Good judgment, fairness and patriotism should be made tbe basis o f the formation o f a ta riff law, ha said, not mars partisanship. Tha Payne bill, he declared, should have been considerd by tbe ways and means committee and not by the Re publican members alone. The whole question now in tbe minds o f those who have presumed to take charge o f affairs in the house, he asserted, waa not how to improve the bill, but how to g et the bill through with tbe least change by the “ dangerous common e rs ,” the members o f the house. ---------- « Wednesday, March 31. Washington, March 31.— Debate on the Payne tariff bill today again turned largely on tbe lumber industry, with aspectal reference in one case to wood pulp, the schedule on which waa cham pioned by Mann, o f Illinois, chairman o f the special commission on the paper industry. There were attacks on free coal, free hides and free trade with the Philippines, and the cry fo r protection to special industries waa aa loud from Southern Democrats aa from Northern Republicans. Morgan, o f Missouri, urged protec tion fo r the tine industry. Brantley, o f Georgia, said the prime purpose o f the bill whs not to raise revenue, aa President T a ft had urged, but to main tain protection. He would vote to re store the $2 rate on lumber. Douglas, o f Ohio, condsmned the countervailing duty on coffee. Rothermel, o f Pennsylvania, favored lower duties on paper and wood pulp and scored the paper tru st Mondell opposed free coal, free hides and the reduction on wool. Mann made an elaborate argument for free wood pulp and lower duties on paper. Pujs, Democrat, b f Louisiana, pro tested against reduced lumber duties end free trade with the Philippines and aaid be would move for a duty on Philippine rice. Griest, o f Pennsylvania, oppossd fre e imports o f Philippine tobacco. * match to both products, for tbs subjects proved o f absorbing interest to the members, whA entered generally into the debate. Kitchin, N . C., Dies, Tex., Graham -and Burke, Pa., w ire tha main speakers o f the day. MeKinley, California, said be believ ed tbe Payne bill, which admits 300,- 000 tona o f Philippine auger to the United State# free o f duty, i* a wise one. The actioo o f tbe committee in re moving tbe duty on bidet was disap proved by Starling, o f Illinois. Weisa, Wisconsin, replied that tbe 16 per eenl, duty ao discrim inated against tbe American tanner and leather manu facturer that they lost five dollars' worth o f business on every hide and la bor loose a dollar and a half on a day's work. Byrd, Missouri, advocated the free admission o f lumber. Vreeland, N. Y. Monday, March 28. ' Wabington, March 29.— Tha tariff question was again discussed in the house today. N ot one o f the many speakers favored the Payne bill en tirely, while the Democrats found much in it to criticise. Tbe maxi mum and m<nimum features o f the pro posed measure were especially obnox ious to them. Republicans urged high er duties on lumber, iron, pottery and sine ora, aa wall i s a duty on coal. % •» Cushman o f Washington, the new Republican member o f tbe committee on ways and means, pleaded fo r better protection to American lumber and for duty on coal. Devoting his remarks largely to a discussion o f the lead and wool sched ules, Hamer o f Idaho discussed the tariff from tbe Western standpoint. He declared tbe proposed provision to permit tbe entry from the Philippines, free o f duty, o f 800,000 tona o f sugar, establishes a bad precedent, and de clared that tbe proposed tariff reform may mean free lumber, which, be said, would be a concession to a cult o f so- called political philosophers, but would not mean a dollar reduction to the con- London, A pril 2.— What is termed the “ children’s charter” became effect ive in Great Britain today.
