A KLOS IF KISMI Mils The in the Upper H eatrictiefie Placae Upon Matters at W iagtee. . "-WASHINGTON, Feb-. S. The "Phil ipppine tariff bill was taken np in the oat. yesterday. The session was notably quiet. Mr. Tomer of Waah iagtoa delivered a .carefully -prepared speech on the general Philippiae sues tioa aad had sot concluded whea the Bill was laid aside for the day. He eTawaased pertiealariy tie legal aad aeti rational questions .involved in the government and control of tie Philippine arehipelago by the Uaited After tae adoption of only stiaor Botes tae pension bill was passed early la the session. The senate disagreed to the amend rents of the coos on the urgeat de dency bill, agreed to the conference asked sad appointed Senators Hale. Allison and Teller as conferees oe tae part cf the seste. At th conclusion of routine business Sir. Patterson cf Colorado made a per acnal explanation of what he had said aoneerning government again toward tae treason and sedition laws enacted ay the Philippine commission. GoTernor Tart, he said, had made a statement before the Philippines com missioe to-which he said that Mr. Pat terson inadvertent!?, no doubt, aad conveyed a wrong impression to the senate aad to the country as to his attitude toward those laws. Mr. Patterson's statement. Governor Taft said, had pat aim in the attitude of criticising his colleagues on the committee. The particular scarate was enacted while he was ill, hot anything he may have said he did not intend to convey the impression that he was opposed to laws enacted. The respon sibility for their enactment was as much his as of his colleagues. Mr Patterion said he had stated in his own way the impression govern ment officials original statements had made upoa him. That impression. h said, was wrong. 'Taft does not agree with the law. he added, "bat approves of it as pecul iarly necessary." Mr. Patterson dis claimed any intention or desire to mis represent Governor Taft. .-rjirr -Ge&isger of New Hampshire chairman of the pension committee, called up the pension appropriation bill and offered an amendment, which was adopted, prohibiting the collection of any fee to aid in the passage by con gress of any pension bilL He said that the number of special pension bills introduced in congress at this session probably was larger than ever before, nearly 5,000 having been intro duced in the house alone. Mr Pritchard of North Carolina of fered an amendment, providing that a man who had served in the confeder ate army, but subsequently had served in the union army, should have a pen sionable status. A point of order against the amendment by Mr. Gal linger was sustained. Mr. Pritchard. evincing his disap pointment at the loss of his amendment- gave notice that he would se tnat not many bills would go through hereafter until something is done in the direction of granting the relief de sired. The peasion appropriation bill was then passed. A bill appropriating J150.Q00 for a public building in "Winston-Salem, was passed. Protest Schley's Appeal. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. E. S.

I think, however, that the severe winter will do much toward destroying these pests at any rate, if you see various kinds of birds in your field do not disturb them, as they will no doubt destroy large numbers of these worms. "They are so neariy grown now that very shortly after warm weather they will become fully go and go into the ground before doing much damage to the small grain.

Amer- aad Japaaese ministers have re their opposition to the Maa- China It is probable that this will result in the farther post- t of the ca ummattoa of this treaty. The powers opposing the Maachnriaa Ttralty are now beghiximg to recognize the force of the representationa of the Chinese plenipotentiaries that China to making the beat terms possible for herself and incidentally for the equal rights of the other nations in China, aad are shifting their protests to Ras ste as the responsible party. Paul Lissir, the Russian minister here, is endenvo'iag to maintain the transpar ent diplomatic fiction that the Man ehurian treaty and the Rnsso-Caineae beak agreement are not regulated. He has informed his colleagues that the Russian government has no official knowledge of the negotiations of the Rnaao-Chinese bank. The Russian agents are playing their parts with the greatest regard for ap pearances, while M. Lessar is arrang ing the treaty with China. The man ager of the beak, M. Pacatillo. one of the most able and trusted of the Rus ama agents in the east, is negotiating the bank agreement with Wang We Saao. In the light of the statements of Chinese officials, which were repeated yesterday, namely, that Russia insists upon the simultsneoas signing of the Manchurian treaty aad the bank ment. the representations of M. fail to carry weight. The native papers are filled with stories that sia is trying to gain her ends by ofTers of heavy bribes. Germany remains a disinterested spectator of the affair. Chang Chi Tung, the viceroy of Han Kow, and Lieu Kun Kiy of Nankin continue thei efforts against the treaty. They are co-operating with the Jananese min istry. ' Th corresonndent of the Associated Press here has seen a draft of the agreement. This provides that China shall build all railways and develop all mines in Manchuria. If she is un able to command the capital she shall apply to the bank. If the bank is un able or unwilling to enter into ar rangements China may apply else where for capital. The final clause states that the agreement shall in no wise impair the existing rights of other nations, which claase is palpably nullified by the preceding conditions. AWAITS FULL REPUBLICAN VOTE. Revenue Reduction Bill Not to Con- eidered Yet. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. One of the house leaders, whose position gives him the fullest information as to the outlook of legislation, said today. "The program for considering the war revenue reduction bill is fully un derstood, but it is not desired to give those who oppose the majority the fullesr information on the exact time of its consideration in order to assist their opposition. "Oae thing has been settled beyond any doubt, that the bill will be passed exactly as reported except in minor verbal committee changes. The length of the debate will be about two days, vrhich seems about reasonable,, as there is no great pressure for time. "As to when the debate will begin, it hardly will be next week, as some thirty republican members win be ab sent before and after Lincoln's birth day, so that it will not be taken up until there is a full republican attend ance. wbn it will be passed without amendment.

Cuba, also authorizing a 25 per cent redaction of duty on the present crop of Caban sngar, in consideration of Cuba's granting preferential rates to the United States. The resolutions Conine the 25 per cent reduction of daties to the period prior to January 1 1L The provisions as to annexation are as fellows: "In the meantime the republic of Cuba is Invited to become a part of the United States of America, and her people to become citixeas of the United States, with the assurance that Cuba will be entitled at first to a territorial form of government under the con stitution and laws of the United States, with a delegate in congress to represent her people, and that ulti mate statehood will be granted, when. In the judgment of congress, it is ad visable to admit Cuba, including such ether West Indies belonging to the United States as may be deemed ad visable, as a single state in the union. to be called the state of Cuba." Mr. Newlanda in explanation of his reaoiation, said: "AH those who hare appeared to Toice Cuba's needs aad .requirements have indicated that an invitation to Cuba of annexation would be accept ed. "Annexation by force would not be justified- It must be accomplished, if at ail. by the free act of the Cuban people, by which the popular will can be tested, but the Cuban constitution has been adopted. The Cuban con garss will meet in February, a Cuban government will be organized aad the United Sates will then leave the gov ernment and control of the island to its people. Cuba will then be in a posfffrm to express her will, aad it is only necessary to tide over the pres ent emergency by a temporary meas ure, such as I have introduced, reduc ing the duty on Cuban sugar one fourth for one year and inviting Cuba to become a part of the United States under a territorial form of govern ment, under the constitution, her peo ple to be citizens, not subjects, with the ultimate result of statehood. "In coming into our political union. Cnba will secure immediately the highest degree of freedom and with it a large market for varied products. Those products will not threaten our sugar industry so seriously as they would under reciprocal trade relations. for the reason that the restricted labor laws of this country will apply and will raise the cost of production to such an extent as to prevent over stimulation of her industries, while her supplies will be bought tn the high protected markets cf this cata try, instead of the cheap markets of the world.

POPE AND UNITED ITALY. rthli Qwatlaa Btaafea ta Way f a Both young and old. the holy father said at Christmas, were wanted in the Christian movement for the upraising jf the people, and young and old must work hand in hand. These frequent exhortations of the pope to union imong Catholics suggests the existence jf causes of dissension, says the Tab .et. There are Catholics of the old school. ond of a quiet life, who refuse to take aote of .the changed conditions of. the times: on the other hand, there are irdent young spirits who forget that there has been a past at all. and who seek to impress their own ideas whole ind entire, as in a new creation, on the Italy of today. To these especially the holy father iddresses a former instruction on the social movement, in which he urges that it must be in continuity with the past, must draw its inspiration from, religion, and its direction from the oastors of the church. There have seen some few who were ready to leave the Roman question and the rights of che holy see is the background in their eagerness to prove the democratic character of the Catholic movemeat The Roman question does undoubtedly clock the way of the Italian govern ment, whose path will never be 3mocth antH it has solved it to the satisfaction, of the pope. EVOLUTION OF ELEPHANTS. Statable Flat ia EarpC Waick a; The history of the extinct members of the elephant order has always prov ed of interest because of the associa tion of primitive mas as a contempo--ary of the mammoth. Older elephasts (frun this big furred elephast are ksown to science, and among them stand out very promisently the masto dons. One of the unsolved points regarding elephant history in the past has been the nature of the links, which on the evolution theorv are bound to exi3t byl way of connecting these giant creat ures with their ancestors, says the London Chronicle. Dr. C W. Andrews has been making a notable find in Egypt, such as may serve to supply the 5aps and to produce the missing links' is the elephant chain of descent. He has found the fossil remains of an animal which, while smaller than the mastodons, is evidently closely re lated to them on the one side. Beyond rH'g comes another fossil find of a still more primitive elephant that takes us back is the family history to the hoofed quadrupeds. This last form may come to be regarded as the point af departure of the elephant branch of the mtiTPTTi',a- tree.
