THE TARIFF BILL
MR. MORGAN WARNS THE SEN
ATE RELATIVE THERETO.
he iros am Aiwmumn
DtclarM th Rill UnciMtttiitinal
AaVecatcs an Executive Department
., ft' the Centre! of the Philippine
Manaa.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 1. An
extended speech on the pending Phil
ippiae tarif bill was delivered in the
senate by Morgan of Alabama, who
devoted particular attention to the
amendment which he offered to the
bill last week. He maintained that the
enactment of the bill as it stands now
would not be a constitutional remedy
f-fornfce rituatrownhemeasure,-ir- de
algned to relieve, but said that with
the adoption of his amendment the
bill would stand the closest scrutiny of
the courts. The Alabama senator did
- not discuss the political phases of the
Philippine question, devoting his en
tire speech to a consideration of the
legal and constitutional questions rais
ed by the presentation of the tariff
measures.
An hour and a half was devoted to
the increase of salaries of judges of
United States courts, but no action was
taken. The bill increases the annual
- salaries of the federal judiciary.
Mr. Hoar made a brief statement in
upport of the measure. He be
lieved members of the judiciary of the
United States were entitled to snch
salaries as would enable them to main
tain suitable and proper positions. The
judicial salaries paid by the government-were
not equal to those paid by
many of the great states of the union
to the Jndges-of the state courts. The
justice of the United States supreme
court, he declared, could make ten
times the amount of the salaries pro
posed in practice at the bar.
At 2 o'clock the Philippine tariff
bill was taken up, and Mr. Morgan,
dem.) of Alaska addressed the sen
ate. He said he had not heard as yet
any objection to the tariff that Is pro
posed to lie laid, and took it for grant
ed that the tariff was just and neces
sary. He argued that congress had
no constitutional authority to levy a
discriminating tariff- either upon im
ports or exports between the United
States and the Philippines.
"I believe in the doctrine of free
trade in all parts of the United States,
whether covered by the constitution,
. the Sag, or both," he said, and he con
teirt.ed that an export duty is plainly
forbidden even though, in the case of
the Philippines, the duty was levied
here.
Speaking of the claims made that
there was no lawful government in the
Philippines. Mr. Morgan with great
earnestness said there is a government
there and he was glad to say a very
good government, suitable to the char
acter of the people and the circum
stances in which we found them. It
would advance the estimate of the Fil
ipinos of the United States if they
could have a delegate to congress, as
has Hawaii, said Mr. Morgan. This
he said he thought would be no viola
tion of the constitution. Referring to
the work of the Philippine commis
sion, their work and personality, he
paid a tribute to the late President
McKlnley, who. he said, was the hap
piest man in the world in making se
lections of men for responsible posi
tions, who always could be relied on
to do the right thing at the right time
and in the right way.
Mr. Morgan pleaded for a govern
ment in the Philippines which could
be prepared at all times to meet
emergencies in accordance with the
laws of the United States, because, he
said, there might be a time when the
Philippines might be cut off from
cable communication.
He urged the establishment of an ex
ecutive department for the control of
"'the- Islands. In conclusion. Mr. Mor
gan said he had purposely refrained
-from referring to any political phase of
' this question. He referred to the adop
tion of his amendment, "but," he said,
"if the bill stands as it Is and will
break the uniformity of taxation in the
Philippines, I shall feel that the con
stitution has been violated." After a
brief . executive session the house at
4:25 p. m. adjourned until Monday.
Fatal Fall from Ice Chute.
ASHLAND, Neb., Feb. 1. A man
named Kelley was killed at Armour's
ice house at Memphis. While work
ing there he fell from one of the ice
chutes, twenty feet, and died in a few
hours.
Largest Gifts on Record.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1. The Times
publishes in -its literary -supplement a
list of bequests 'and gifts for public
uses made in the United States dur
ing the year 1901, showing the enor
mous total of $107,360,000, far out
doing air previous records. The high
est previous record for any one .year
was 162,750.000. Of this total tor
1901, Mr. Carnegie gave the colleges
and libraries f31.00Q.000. his gifts to
libraries 'having been $14,000,000.
Lack Harmony in Plana.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1. Lack of har-
y and preparedness mark the ar
rangements for the reception here of
Prince Henry of Prussia "and the
launching of the yacht of the German
emperor. Certain boxholders at the
Metropolitan opera bouse have failed
a give np their places for the prince
hi staff, the board of aldermen
esmtpmia that they Have been slight
ed aad the arrangements at Shooter
are still incomplete.
RIGHT TO USE THE WATER. I
ef Irrigation Overrules
Motion fer Rehearing Caee. .
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 1. The state
board of irrigation overrated a motion
for a rehearing of the case of the
Farmers and Merchants' Irrigation
company of Lexington against the
Gothenburg Water Power and Irriga
tion company. This action grew out
of the extension of the canal owned
and operated by the Gothenburg com
pany. The contention was that the
Gothenburg company had no right to
use water under its original claim for
purposes otherwise than those speci
fied in the grant. The extension was
eighteen miles in length, and the
company sought to- turn the water
from the old canal into the new one,
instead of turning it back into the
river. On a hearing several weeks
ago the board decided that the com
pany could use the allotted amount
of water for irrigating purpose, even
in the extension.
In the case of Nicholas McCabe
against Maude Hinman, appealed
from Lincoln county, the board decid
ed that the abandonment of an irri
gating ditch forfeits all further rights
for the appropriation of water. The
Hinman ditch, which furnished water
for approximately 4,500 acres of land
near North Platte, was abandoned af
ter it had been operated for several
years, and subsequently an attempt
was made to renew its operation.
HORSE DISEASE BREAKS OUT.
Forty-Seven Animals Succumb to Sick
ness in York County.
COLUMBUS, Neb., Feb. 1. The fa
tality among horses in the northern
part of Platte county during the last
ten days or two weeks has been quite
alarming, the disease being some
thing with which the veterinary sur
geons seem wholly unable to cope.
County Superintendent L. H. Leavy
visited fourteen schools in the vicin
ity of Humphrey, Creston and Corn
lea last week, in each district mak
ing inquiry among the fanners as to
the loss of horses, and in this wav
learned that twenty-two men had had
forty-seven fatalities from the strange
disease, which manifests itself in at
lease some cases in blindness and loss
of consciousness to pain or insanity.
the animal plunging Into barbed wire
fences and not being repelled by se
vere cuts, but with the coming out of
cold sweat quickly dying.
One seemingly significant fact men
tioned by a 'farmer and corroborated
by Mr. Ieavy's subsequent observa
tion, is that the half dozen farmers in
the county supplied with flowing wells
are free, not only from this disease
among horses, but have-also been free
during recent years from cholera
among hogs.
BEET SEED FOR THE WEST.
Omaha Becomes the General Distribut
ing Point.
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 1. Omaha has
been designated the distributing point
for all sugar beet seed that will be
planted in the states west of the Mis
sissippi river. Meyer A Raapke of
this city are the distributing agents.
All 'sugar beet seed planted in this
country is raised in Germany. Al
ready consignments for the crop of
the earning season have begun to ar
rive in Omaha. It comes in bond and
after reaching here is under the con
trol of Collector Taylor of the customs
house until it is taken out and sent
to the factories, the managers of
which supply the beet growers.
To plant the western country with
sugar beets requires thirty-five to for
ty carloads of seed. Ten carloads'
have cqme and another large lot Is
expected within the next few days.
The seed is put up in sacks, contain
ing 200 pounds each..
Large Acreage of Wheat in York.
YORK, Neb., Feb. 1. The farmers
of York county rejoice over the fine
fall of snow which has covered the
wheat fields in all directions. Over
50 per cent of cultivated acreage in
York county is in winter wheat, which
is the farmer's greatest mortgage-lifting
crop, and if there is an average
yield of 30 to 50 bushels an acre
there will scarcely be a farm mortgage
in York county next year.
To Discuss Land Leasing.
DENVER. Colo., Feb. 1. The
American Cattle Growers' association,
composed of leading cattlemen of the
west will meet in Denver March 4
to discuss public land leasing and oth
er questions affecting the industry.
The bill concerning land leasing now
before congress will be a matter for
special consideration. The call for
the meeting was issued today.
Power from Niobrara.
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 1. An appli
cation for permission to appropriate
water from the Niobrara river for a
power plant near Valentine was pre
sented to the secretary of the state
board of irrigation. It is proposed to
construct a plant with a capacity of
8,000 electric horse power for opera
tion twenty-four hours each day. All
prior claims for the appropriation of
water from the Niobrara river were
withdrawn before Cornell filed.
Mumaugh Demand Pay.
LINCOLN. Neb., Feb. 1. Samuel
R. Mumaugh of Omaha, who was a
member of Company L of the First
regiment of volunteers, has written a
letter to Governor Savage demanding
the allowance of his claim for travel
pay from 8an Francisco to Omaha.
Mumaugh was discharged from the
company while in the' Philippine is
lands. A few days after the Uhl bill
went into effect last year he fled a
chum for $37.50 in the department
REPEALSWAR TAX
BILL IS AUTHORIZED BY WAYS
AND MEANS COMMITTEE.
WHAT THE MEASUtt KMWES
Will Cmmm Reduction ef Seventy
Seven Million Dollar Allows the
Duty on Tea t Remain On Year
Lner.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. The ways
and means committee by unanimous
vte instructed Chairman Payne to
prepare a bill repealing all the war
revenue taxes, except the tax on mixed
flour. The action taken was in the
form of a resolution to the effect that
the bill should provide for the re
peal of the remaining war taxes to
take effect eafJaty-l, 1902, except that
the repeal of the duty on tea should
go into effect January 1, 1903.
The only division in the committee
was in amendments proposed by dem
ocratic members. Representative
Richardson of Tennessee proposed an
amendment to put trust-made articles
on the free list. This was defeated
by a party vote, as was the amend
ment by Representative Robertson of
Louisiana to continue the tax on
"bucket shops."
Chairman Payne made the following
statement on the proposed repeal:
"The treasury now has an available
cash balance of something over $174,
000,000. It is not likely that this will
be increased materially during the
present fiscal year, as the treasury is
buying bonds at a rate that will use
us the surplus to accumulate between
this and the end of the fiscal year,
June 30 next The secretary of the
treasury's report estimated a surplus
for this year of $100,000,000, and sub
sequent results seem to confirm this
estimate. The committee, therefore,
thought it was entirely safe to repeal
the remainder of the war revenue
taxes, amounting to $68,000,000, and
the tax on tea of $9,000,000 in the ag
gregate $77,000,000 at this time.
This will still leave a surplus esti
mated upon this year's receipts and
expenses of $22,000,000 or $23,000,000
for the year, while we will start upon
the next fiscal year with $174,000,000.
The committee deems it wise to have
the repeal of the tax on tea take ef
fect on the first of January next, in
order to enable those, especially re
tailers and small dealers, who have
stocks of the duty-paid goods on hand,
to dispose of them before the change
takes place.
We can provide a rebate on the to
bacco tax and guard against any fraud
upon the revenue, for the reason that
the internal revenue department has
this trade under close surveillance and
can and will take an account of the
stock in the dealers' hands on the
first day of July next. But this will
be impossible as to teas, which come
in as customs duties and of which the
government has no account, save as
they are imported in large quantities
by the importers. Continuing this tea
tax to the first of January will give
us six months' revenue in the next
fiscal year upon tea and will make
the ultimate reduction for the next
year considerably less than $7,000,000.
The bill will be presented to the
house as soon as it can be prepared.
The repeal will affect the remain
ing special taxes imposed by the war,
viz.: On bankers, brokers, grain
dealers, pawn brokers, custom house
brokers, theaters, museums, circuses,
etc., billiard rooms and bowling al
leys, playing cards, dealers in and
manufacturing of tobacco.
The reduction on, fermented liquor
will amount to 60 cents per barrel;
that on tobacco and snuff will be 3
cents, bringing the rate back to 6
luntc uit tirainri a before the war.
vv" - "- ..
The rate on cigars and cigarettes was
changed last year,
but the further I
change now made will bring
the
rates back to those existing prior to
the war.

INDIANS DESIRE AN AGENT.
Mez Perce Object to Being in Charg
of Superintendent.
LEWI8TON. Idaho, Jan. 31. -Two
hundred Nez Perce Indians are eagac
?d in a tribal dance oa Lapwai creek,.
If teen miles from this city. The
lance is the result of a council that
:onvened last week to diacass the pro
posed abandonment of :th Lapwai
igeacy and the transfer of the same
to the superintendent of the Lapwai
Indian Industrial school. The council
3xpressed disapproval of the acts 'of
Superintendent Voorhles, ia charge of
the school and who has enforced the
attendance of Indian' children at
school. Resolutions were passed con-
iemning the superintendent and ask
ing that the agency remain separate.
A delegation of Indians was also ap
pointed to visit Washington to make
their wishes known. The council met
Sve days ago and. the. excitement of
discussion gradually resulted ia the
wild, weird dance of the tribe. George
Moses, Philip McFarland and Peo-Peo-Kalipt,
chiefs of the tribe, are par
ticipating in the dance. Guards have
been stationed to prevent the Indians
from receiving whisky and precaution
Is taken to prevent depredations. A
party arriving from the scene reports
that the canyons are echoing with
the yells of the dancers. Superin
tendent Voorhies addressed the coun
cil during the early deliberations, but,
it seems, was unable to influence the
Indians.

PART IS INVALID
- .r-U
ION OF DINGLEY BILL SAID
BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
EXHiWED BY CULLOM
inc with Power of the Presi-
and the Senate Uaeless to
Ratify Treaty Under This ..Provl-
-WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. For an
koaryesterday the senate had under
discsjssion the question of whether a
ceaajprship of press dispatches exists
ia Manila. While no such turbulent
ceajes as those of the day before
wen enacted, the debate for a time
waajvery spirited. The secretary of
warwas quoted as saying that no
presscenwnhip-TKnr exists in the
Philippines aad a letter from General
Greeley, chief signal officer of the
army, was presented by Mr. Beveridge
of Indiana, making a statement offi
cially that there was no censorship
f press dispatches and that "the
press is entirely free.
It was contended by the opposition
that a press censorship did exist in
the Philippines and that copies of ev
ery news dispatch filed with the cable
company was filed with the military
authorities. That, it was maintained,
constituted a virtual censorship.
Mr. Cullom, chairman of the com
mittee on foreign relations, delivered
an extended and carefully prepared
speecn on the history of the reciproc
ity negotiations.
The address dealt particularly with
the constitutionality of that portion of
the Dingley act which authorized the
negotiations of reciprocity treaties.
He said that the wording of the pro
vision was peculiar and mixed, but
it seemed plain that all treaties nego
tiated must have been made and rat
ified within two years after the pas
sage of the act. Therefore, if that
act is to control, it would be useless
to ratify the treaty. Senator Cullom
continued:
"In my opinion the fourth section
of the Dingley act, so far as it at
tempts to confer, limit or define the
treaty making power, is not only an
Interference with the powers of the
president and senate, but it unconsti
tutional because it comes in conflict
with the clause of the constitution
which says that the president 'shall
have 'power, by and with the advice
and consent of the senate, to make
treaties.' We do not. therefore, derive
our treaty making powers from a law
of congress, and no law of congress
can, in any way, modify or limit those
powers. The Dingley act cannot lim
it the time in which we shall be al
lowed to make a treaty."
Mr. Cullom contended that the
fourth section of the Dingley act
should be taken as a mere expression
of the view of congress and that the
president did not need authority to
make the treaties. He entered into
a long discussion of the proceedings
of the constitutional convention rela
tive to the treaty making power and
claimed that precedents all -showed
such power was conferred solely upon
procity treaties concluded with Ha
the president and senate. The reel
wall, Mexico and Canada did not go
Into effect until congress acted, but
these treaties contained express pro
vision that they could not become ef
fective without congressional action.
Mr. Cullom discussed the provision
of the constitution declaring that bills
for raising revenue must originate In
the house, and said that it had not
been definitely settled what was
meant by "bills for raising revenue.
Says Checks Are Forgeries.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30. Cap. James

DISAPPEARANCE OF OUR GAME.
ttctls ff
tat r Btoaat
Over vast sections of our land game
)f many kinds has beea altogether
exterminated or sadly decimated. Yet
it Is surprising to note the tenacity
with which the beasts aad birds still
inger about the spots which were
.heir favorite haunts before the white
aaan came to disturb them. .
Whea Joha 8mith made his map of
Virginia in 1607 he ornamented it with
jeer on the south side 'of- the James
river, about where the counties f
Surrey and Sussex are now situated,
and with turkey on the peninsula be
tween the James and the York rivers.
U) show where these were most abund
ant. Three hundred years have passed
ince then, aad a great many people'
nave settled there, but deer and turkey
most abound in Virginia -still at the
places designated .by John Smith' as
cbeir favorite haunts in his day.
The Great South Bay and Barnegat
were famous ducking grounds of old.
One would think that the millions of
people not collected about them
I would have frightened the wild fowl
away. But with hair a chance tney
still assemble there, ia spite of the
thousand sail that disturb them and
the never-ending fusillade of the gun
ners. When Frank Forrester wrote
the Warwick woodlands were the
home of the ruffled grouse and the
woodcock. -
To-day, notwithstanding the Or
anges and Montclair and Tuxedo, and
many other thickly populated com
munities that have sprung up in the
territory, population has not alto
gether driven away the ancient occu
pants, and a few still linger, reluctant
to abandon their charming natural
habitat. Review of Reviews.

Before Huxley's untiring cnerg)
there was found no peace for hum
bugs, dissemblers or those who wished
nothing better than to be left in lazy
satisfaction with the accepted order of
things. In these controversies he was
sometimes too bitter, too fierce, and
made use of a sarcasm which, though
delicious, was frequently little bhort
or cruel. He was a firebrand, warm
enough to his friends, but ready tc
consume any opponent nay, more,
looking out for opponents with the
keenest scrutiny, lest one might per
chance appear upon the far horizon
of the world of thought without being
favored by his disastrous notice. More
over, he was hot-tempered, and when
roused sometimes harsh and illiberal;
but his nature was of the impulsive
kind that apologizes as quickly as it
errs, while through his life at all times
ran the redeeming vein of humor. It
Is not aa uproarious laugh, but a keen,
irresistible little twinkle that comes
into the corner of his eyes over the
foibles of his neighbors and of him
self. The Century.

Dr. White, the American ambassa
dor, tells an Interesting anecdote ol
the German empress. He was minis
ter to Germany' during the Arthur ad
ministration, and when he returned as
ambassador after McKialey's election
and was presented to her majesty, he
said: "I don't suppose you will remem
ber me, but I attended your wedding."
"I do remember you." replied the
Kalserin. "and I can tell you what you
said to me on that occasion." "Then
you have a better memory than I." re
marked Dr. White, "for I certainly do
not recall anything further than a
most charming occasion. "You told
me," said the empress, "when you
came to congratulate me, that if I was
an American bride I would soon be
setting out for Niagara Falls. 1 did
not understand what you meant, but
it made such an impression upon me
that I immediately looked on the map
and found where Niagara Falls was,
and read everything I could find in
books about it." Chicago Record-Herald.

Many New Yorkers have stopped to
wonder at the long boxes packed uith
straw which may be seen in the Rap
id Transit excavations. Tuey are over
coats of straw for all the pipes laid
bare by the tunnel workers in cold
weather. As fast as they are uncov
ered by one set of workmen another
comes along and wraps the pipes in a
covering of straw, wnicn is a poor
conductor of either heat or cold. This
precaution is as necessary with gas ns
with water conduits. Where the wa
ter will freeze in cold weather, except
in mains where it is running constant
ly, the danger of interruption to the
gas mains is equally great where the
mains are open and subject to wide
changes in temperature. These changes
cause condensation within the pipes,
as many householders know when told
thst they have been troubled with
"water in the meter." New York

Many people wear themselves out
needlessly, says the London Doctor;
their 'conscience is a tyrant. An ex
aggerated sense of duty leads many a
person to anxious, ceaseless activity,
to. be constantly, doing something,
overpunctual, never idle a second of
time, scorn to rest; such are in un
conscious nerve tension. They say
they have so much to do, not thinking
they are rapidly unfitting themselves
for probably what would have been
their best and greatest work in after
years. Self-control of nerve force is
the great lesson of health and there
fore of life itself. To understand how
to relax is to understand how to
strengthen nerves. Hearty laughter is
a source of relaxation, as are also high
thoughts, as those of hope, beauty,
trust or lose. Relaxation is found in
diversion.
