Rlw? waa n-.ado subject to the same tariff art sugar and tobacco a per cent of the Dingley rates and one or two changes were made as to language. Fifty-seven republican mid fourteen democrats voted against the bill on Its final passage. This result was attained after decidedly . the moat vuenuous day of the present con gress. The many amendments which were launched and went to pieces In the storm of debate and against the rock which the house rules constituted, left much legis lative wreckage and tnuny records only useful for future political purpovea. Republican opposition to the bill In the Interest of American beet and cane, sugar and tobacco tried out ita strength early and gave up. This opposition' refused to affiliate with democratic efforts. The strongest plea for "Insurgent" support was made In behalf of Champ Clark's amend ment reducing the differential on refined sugar. Th minority sought to duplicate the house record made on the Cuban reel . proolty act, but they I reckoned without their host today, as not a, republican oppo nent to thla measure, stood with them to overrule th decision of the chair. The democratic substitute met with only the support of the minority and went down under a vote of 231 to 106. On the final passage of the bill the "Insurgents" da manded a roll call that their record might be preserved. The bill admit goods th growth or prod uct of the Philippine Islands Into th tfnlted State free of duty except sugar, tobacco ' and rice, on which a tariff of 25 per cent of the Dlngloy rate ia levied. It provide that after Apr(l 11, 180B. there ahall be absolute free trade each way between the United State and the Philippines.

In an adjoining room were many persons prominent In the business and so cial lire of Chicago, Intimate associates of Mr. Field, who had come to New York when the seriousness of hi condition was known to them.

A sinking spell early this morning, which followed the remurkable rally of yesterday. presaged the coming of the end. The at tending physicians first notified the mem bers of the family and withdrew from the sick chamler. The message that the end was near was conveyed also to the mem bers of the Chicago colony stopping, In the hotel, and they gathered in one of the rooms of the apartment. Mr. Field was told last night that he had but the slightest chance for recovery. Dur Ing the periods of consciousness which marked the last twenty-four hours of his life he talked but little, seeming resigned and peaceful, and occasionally expressing his appreciation of the fight his physicians had made for him. Mr. Field had been In consultation Sunday with his personal coun sel from Chicago. He said he felt that hli condition was grave and had given almost constant thought to his business sffalrs With Mr. Field at his death.

Attorney Thomas for the Civic Federa tion had a wflt prepared which would have the effect of leaving the saloons open for twenty days while the cause waa proceed ing through . the courts. Judge Sutton di rected his attention to the fact that thut was not In line with hi decision. , . "That was." said Judge Button, "that the commissioners meet at once and revoke these licenses' unless they will agree to furnish these transcripts within twenty days." Mr. Thomas, saw the light and said: "That la so; 1 had overlooked that ele ment In the case. 1 remember now that was the order of tho court." He proceeded to rearrange his writ ac corTllngly, though Judge Sutton said the writ as It stood would suit him If It would suit relator (Thomas.)

We are cutting a wide-swath, ther Is no doubt of that. If we get down, how ever, to a closer examination we will readily see that the nation is living profligately. We are selling out our natural resources ex ploiting them as fast aa w can, without building up Industrie an dtrad relations to take their place when exhaasted. "It is only a question of time till our tim ber Is exhausted. Our publlu domain Is nit gone and the nation can no longer boast that It has homes for all. Where are the Immigrants rushing to our shores to end up? Not on the land. We have no more to offer them. They must crowd Into the cities. When this nation has 150,000,000 peo ple they will have to do something else than exploit natural resources to earn a living.
