HOUSEI

Day Filled With ExcitementMembers Keyed Up to

Highest Pitch

Washington April 9Atcr threoweeks of consideration the Paynebill was passed by the house of rep-resentatives

¬

tonight amid great ex-

citement¬

by a vote of 217 to 161 OneRepublican Austin of Tennesseevoted against the measure and fourDemocrats all from Louisiana

Messrs Broussard Estopinal Pujoand WIckllffe voted for It An at-tempt

¬

by Champ Clark the minorityleader to recommit the olll with in ¬

structions signally failedThe day was filled with excitement

Irom the moment the session began-at noon until adjournment The mem-bers were keyed up to the highestpitch and a practically full member ¬

ship remained on duty throughoutThe final vote demonstrated the ca-

pacity¬

of the Republican organization-to get together The situation withrespect to lumber was greatly re-

lieved to the Republican leaderswhen it became manifest that theadvocates of the plan of placing It onthe free list were In the minorityBecause of that fact Mr Fitzgerald-New York charged that a midnight-deal had been made last night where-by

¬

free lumber was to bewotcd downand the rates on barley and barleymalt increased and this notwithstand-ing

¬

the denials of Messrs Mann Illi-

nois¬

and Cushman Washington whooffered the barley amendments

The general public was greatly interested in the proceedings and thegalleries were packed Both the di-

plomatic¬

and executive reservationslikewise were fully occupied MrsTaft being among those present

When the bill actually was passedthe Republicans cheered lustily somedancing up and down the aisles andpatting their fellow members on thoback

The bill was Introduced on March17 reported to the house by tho waysand means committee on the follow-Ing day and was under general de-

bate¬

for sixteen lays Last Mondaytho rules committee reported a spe-cial

¬

order which closed the generaldiscussion and provided for the con-

sideration¬

of the bill under the liveminute rule

One of the principal changes in thebill was the placing of petroleum onthe free list today

Among the other important amend ¬

ments made since the bill came fromcommittee was those striking out thoprovision for a duty on tea and thecountervailing duty provision oh cof-

fee¬

r110 socalled joker in the cot-ton

¬

cloth schedule which lt wasclaimed would increase the duties ofthe Dingle bill several hundred per-cent was corrected the provision-for the method or counting threads intho clothing being made the same asin the present la-

The drawback section was added tothe bill so that it could not be takenadvantage of for speculating in grainand the Philippine free trade provision was amended so that rice wiltnot be admitted free from the islands

The countervailing duty clause onlumber was stricken out but a strongeffort to place lumber on the tree listdid not succeed

The duty on barley barley maltpineapples in crates and cotton col-lars

¬

and cuffs as originally in thebill were increased A proviso wasincluded in the tobacco schedule in ¬

creasing the duty on filler tobaccofrom any country which prohibits theimportation of American tobacco

There were several technicalchanges In the steel schedule princi-pally

¬

downward Hides hosiery andgiovos were left as reported by thecommittee hides remaining free andyn increased duty being presented forgloves and stockings

was overwhelming Opposing itwore Republicans as follows Alex-ander Andnis Southwick and Vrcoland of New York Austin of Tennossee Barchfleld Barclay Bates BurkeDulzoll Graham Langham McCrecryMoon Tener and Wheeler Pennsyl-vania

REPORT

I MADE

Committee to Investigate-the Agreement Made on

Sugar Schedule

Washington April 9 President 1

Tafthas won a signal victory for thePhilippine Islands In tho acceptanceby the senate committee on financelate tonight of the of thoPayne bill for the free admission of300000 gross tons annually of Fili-pino

¬

sugar This decision was reachedafter the subcommlttco consideringthe sugar schedule had taken to theWhite House Charles B Warrenpresident of the Sugarcompany and had confirmed an agree-ment between Mr Taft and Mr War-ren

¬

made in this city list fallAfter the agreement between Mr

Taft and the beet sugar raisers hadbeen announced the right of MrWarren to speak for the beet sugarInterests was brought into question-

The house committee on ways andmeans on January 28 adopted a sec ¬

tion iq the Payne bill relating to treeImportation of products from thePhilippines with a limitation of 300000 tons annually on sugar Withinthe last week this section has beenattacked severely by representativesfrom boot sugar states and it wascharged in the house that in makingsuch an agreement Mr Warren hadassumed authority he did not possess-As a result the question was referredto a subcommittee of the senate com ¬

mittee on finance consisting of Sen-ators

¬

Burrows Smoot and Flint Thosubcommittee learned that Mr Tafthad entered Into the agreement Ingood faith and that it had gone un-challenged

¬

for many weeks until thesenate committee began considera ¬

lion of the tariff bill Not willingthat President Taft should be placed-in a false light the senate subcornmltteo summoned Mr Warren fromMichigan by telephone and he arrived at S30 tonight Accompanied-by the three members of the subcom-mittee

¬

Mr Warren went to thoWhite House at 10 oclock and lastfalls agreement was confirmed

Whether Mr Warren was author ¬

ized to speak for the beet sugar menwas not taken Into account It wassufficient for the members of thecommittee that Mr Taft understoodthat 300000 tons of sugar should hoadmitted free of duty from the Philip¬

pines annually All other questions-may be fought out between Mr War-ren

¬

and his fellow beet sugar produc-ers

¬

An1 amendment to the Philippinesection prepared by Senators Lodgeand Smoot was adopted by tho com-

mittee¬

on finance however which Isdesigned to prevent the substitutionof Java sugar or sugar from otherislands In the Far East arid the Im-

portation¬

of such prdducts into theUnited States free of duty This hatbeeniaccomplished by requiring thecollection of a duty equal to theamount due on all sugar Imported bythe Philippines except from the Unit-ed

¬

States The Philippine customsservice will be required to keep strict I

account of all exportations of sugarfrom the Islands and It is believedthis will afford ample safeguard forthe American sugar producers

It Is said that it will be some timebefore the Philippine sugar industryattains a position that would enablethe Islands to take advantage of theright to send 300000 tons annually-to this country as the yearly produc-tion

¬

Is now about 100000

Washington April IS compli ¬

cated has become the sugar scheduleby reason of the conflicting state-ments

¬

made by sugar Importers andrepresentatives of American beet su-

gar¬

factories that the subcommit-tec of the committee on finance con-

sisting¬

of Messrs Burrows Smootand Flint has determined to takestops to discover just what was theagreement reached last May at a con-

ference between Mr Taft Charles BWarren president of the MichiganSugar association Phillip McMillanand Senator Smith of Michigan Thisconference was held at the Boardmanresidence In this city and at the con-

clusion¬

Mr Warren stated that MrTaft had made a proposition In re-

gard to the admission of Philippineugar which met the approval of thebeet sugar interests in this country-It has been supposed the Payne billproviding for the free admission ofthree hundred thousand gross tons ofPhilippine sugar annually was draft-ed

¬

In accordance with that agree-ment

¬

but since the bill was taken upby the senate committee a vigorousprotest against the Philippine sectionhas been made by beet sugar Inter-ests

¬

Their chief protest Is not di-

rected¬

against the introduction of 300000 tons annually free of duly butupon the belief that that quantity willbe expended and a smaller dltupon the whole of the importations

A telegram was sent to Mr War-ren

¬

last night asking him to cometo Washington at once and Inform thocommittee just what he understood tohave been the agreement with MrTaft A reply has been received fromhim saying ho would arrive herosome time tonight and a session ofthe subcommittee will be held Im-

mediately¬

upon his reaching the capi-tal It is probable also that the merithers of the subcommittee will go tothe White House and consult with thePresident concerning the understand-ing

¬

reached last MayAbout half of the membership of

the senate was banked in front of thefinance committee rooms for twohours before the committee begun itssession on the tariff bill today Thesenators were buttonholing Individualmembers of the committee and theyproposed changes in a variety of sche ¬

duced There Is now a duty upon an ¬

timony but none upon the ore and thoMontana senator asserted there was acombination which controlled the anti-mony

Important Matters

Washington April 9Wben tho sen-ate

¬

committee on flnnnce concluded Itssession tonight it was with the underHtanJIng that all avenues to the com-mittee

¬

room had been closed and thatthe few sessions to bo hold prior to thereporting of amendments to tho Payne-bill would not be hampered by sugges-tions from the outside The committee-is now prepared to Insert rates oncertain Important matters

Among the schedules attracting par-ticular

¬

attention now arc metals andmanufactures of metals lumber hidesbituminous coal and sugar

No rates on steel and Iron have beenInserted as vpt although It Is prac-tically

¬

settled that iron ore will botaxed 20 cents a ton and a proportion-ate

¬

rate will be assessed against scrapIron and steel refuse fit only to be re-

manufacturedThe Iron interests arc concerned

chiefly In getting an Increase over thorates of the Payne bill on rails andstructural Iron The Payne bill cutsthe existing rate on steel rails from

781 to 392 just one hallf Steelmen contend that the Payne rates aretoo severe a reduction They haveasked that a rate of 588 be fixed onrails It Is generally believed the com-mittee

¬

will name a rate of about 5per ton On structural steel it la likeIv that th Dlugley rates of onohalf acent a pound will be maintained In ¬

stead of adopting a rate of threetenths-of a cent a pound as fixed by thoPayne bill

The reciprocity clause of the bitu-minous coal schedule which It Is saidwould result In the elimination of allduties on coal In the trade betweenCanadn and the United States is likelyto go out of the bill Senators Elkinsand Dick wero before the committeetoday In this connection taking op-

posite¬

sides Under both the DIngloylaw anl the Pa nehl1l bituminouscoal pays a duty of 67 cents a tonThe senate committee Is consideringa reduction of the duty to about 50cents in view of the elimination of thoreciprocity clause The Payne billplaces culm or slack coal on a parwith bituminous coal which would In ¬

crease the rate it must pay from 15cents to 07 cents

Senator Elkins submmltted data In-

dicating that the present rate of Vicents on slack coal Is too low He roa l

letters from American agents in Can ¬

ada and Australia asserting that minesIn these countries artificially crush bi-

tuminous¬

coal In order to make It admlssable to the United States at the15 instead of the C7 rate

It Is reported that the senate com-

mittee¬

will reduce the existing Ding-le rate on lumber one haIr A canass of the senate indicates that aneffort in the direction of getting freelumber If made after the bill reachesthe senate would be unavailing

The canvass on the question ofhides was concluded today and It isasserted that as a result hides would-be taken from the free list and theduty fixed at 1 cent ad valorem
