TAFT J TUFF PLEA

PresiJent, in Message, Asks Congress to Revise Philippine Revenue System. BILL FORCES CHANGE Recommendations of Secretary Dick inson and Gen. Edwards Are Transmitted with Act. The President sent to Congross a special message in relation to the Philippine tariff. The message transmits recommendations by the Secre tary of War for a revision of the Philippine tariff so as to permit as much customs revenue as possible for the islands and at the same time to extend to the Islands the principle of a pro tective tariff for Its Industries. Under the conditions which will arise from the enactment of the tariff bill pending in Congress, which provides under certain conditions for free trade Letween the Philippines and the United States, the revenues of th Isl and will be considerably affected, and numerous protests have been received here en this account. The proposed amendments to the bill are to interfere as little as possible with these freetrade conditions and at the same time permit collection of ample revenue. The message and accompanying letters of recommendation from Secretary Dickinson and General Clarence R. Ed wards, chief of the insular bureau of the War Department, with a copy of the proposed act, were submitted to both houses of Congress shortly after they convened. General shaking, the bill submitted by the President makes a slight Increase in the rates of duty now provided in the Philippine tariff, but its framers say its tendency is to Insure, as far as practicable, the benefit of the Philippines market for American man ufactures and products. The bill makes some additions to the free list. There will le an increase in internalrevenue duties, by which it is hoped to make up the loss which the Philippine Islands will sustain by the operations of the free-trade provisions in the pending Tayno traiff bill. The internal-revenue laws for the Philippines are enacted by the Philippine assem bly. President Tnft'a 3Ieaage. "To the Senate and House of Reprtsentatives : L transmit herewith a communication from the Secretary of War inclosing one from the chief of the bureau of insular affairs, in which is trans mitted a proposed tariff-revision law for the Philippine Islands. 'This measure revises the present Phil ippine tariff, simplifies it and makes it conform as nearly ts possible to the regu lations of the customs laws of the United States, especially with respect to parkins and packages. The present Philipp' le regulations have been cumber some and difficult far American merchants and exporters to comply with. Its purpose is to meet the new conditions that will arise under the section of the pending United States tariff bill, which provides, with certain limitations, for free trade between the United States and the islands. It is drawn with a view to preserving to the islands as much customs revenue as possible and to protect in a reasonable measure those industries which now exist in the islands. "The bill now transmitted has been drawn ty a board of tariff experts, of which the insular collector of customs. Col. George R. Colton, was the president. The board held a great many open meetings in Manila and conferred fully with representatives of all business interests in the Philippine Islands. It is of great importance to the welfare of the islands that the bid should be passed at the same time with the pending Payne bill, with special reference to the provisions of which it was prepared. "I respectfully recommend that this biir be enacted at the present session of Congress as one incidental to and required by the passage of the Payne bill. "WILLIAM II. TAFT." 400 SLAIN AT ADANA.

DENOUNCES WHEAT DEAL.

Secretary Wilson Predicts Patten's Corner Will "Go to Smash." James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, said in answer to James A. Patten's charges that the figures of the Department of Agriculture concorning the wheat supply were inaccurate and untrustworthy : "Our figures are correct. That fellow in Chicago is engaged in a schema to rob the consumer and to make money." If Mr. Patten is correct there is a serious shortage in wheat in America. If Secretary Wilson is cororeet there is no shortage at all, but only an artificial famine engendered by Mr. Patten for fieculatlve purposes. Also, if Secretary Wilson is correct. Mr. Patten's deal will go to smash soon. The Secretary of Agriculture insists that the government's report to the effect that there were 143,000,000 bushels of reserve wheat in the farmers' hands on March 1 was strictly correct and that he knows where the wheat is. "We do not get our information from Iostniasters! exclaimed Secretary Wilson angrily when the Patten statement was shown him. "We get it from farmers who are reliable, conscientious men. We have been perfecting our system for gathering information for the last twelve years, and it is as correct and thorough as it is possible to get. To corner the wheat market successfully nowadays you have to keep bu3'ing and buying and buying. Finally the time comes when you can't buy any more, and then the smash comes." MANY DIE IN BURNING HOTEL. Six Ilodie Found, Other Still in the Iluina of San Franriaeo HnlldlnK. Six bodies recovered and probably eight orten others buried in the ruins; six injured, one fatally, and property loss of $125,000 are the results of an early morn-. ing fire that destroyed the St. George Ho tel, a lodging-house for laborers, and eight other small buildings in San Francisco. 5The bodies taken to the morgue were so charred that Identification was impossible.

Scores clambered down the ladders of the firemen tnd the tire escapes, and four jumped to safely into the net held b' the tire fighters.

NO RELIEF IN SIGHT.

Flour May Go to $10 a Barrel, Say Miller3. Rise in the price of Hour until the mills in America are soiling spring wheat flour at $7 a barrel, or $1.30 more than a year ago, is brought to light as one of the effects of the? present condition of the wheat market and the country's supply of the cereal. According to the Chicago Daily News, managers of the Washburn-Crosby Companj-, the Pillsbury-Washburn Company and the Northwestern Consoli dated Milling Companj, which operate what are declared the largest mills in the United States, and practically fix the price of flour, say there is no re lief in sight from present conditions. and every indication is that the price of flour will continue to soar and may go to $10 a barrel. The rise in the wholesale millers price is being followed by a rise in the price to brokers and consumers and will result in materially affecting the price of bread and bakery -goods. The price of rye flour and other brcadstuffs has also been increased, the rise in the price of rye hour per barrel being about liO cents in less than a month. The managers of the milling companies deny that there Is any combination to increase prices or to control the business. They insist tliat the rise In the price ot flour is due to the scarcity of wheat and brcadstuffs iu Europe and other countries, to the Insufficient supply in the United States in I'he light of the demands which are now being made and to the general wheat situation. The price for wheat will be stiff all through the summer, the mi'lrrs declare. The United States has grown a larger crop than a year ago, but the world's supply is short. There is a wheat, flour and bread famine in Mexico. The price of Argentine wheat is $1.25 per bushel and of Winnipeg4 or Canadian wheat about $1.27. The shiplr v- 1tAv ka.Mii incuts from Argentina are short and Argentina has been shipping principally to Liverpool. This increased the Liverpool demand for American shipments. It requires five bushels of wheat to make a barrel. Taken at $19 per bushel the wheat in each barrel of flour costs $0.43. Add to taat 40 cents for sacks or wood basins, 20 cents for freight, 13 cents for delivery, 5 cents for storage and 23 cents for selling and carrying accounts. That will make the cost price of flour $7.50, from which deduct 40 cents for "off-alls" or the bran and other products saved from the wheat, which makes the price $7.10. And In some Instances the freight, delivery, storage and other expenses are higher than those given. It would not be surprising in the light of present existing conditions and in the face of the outlook for the future that flour would go to $10 per barrel. Poland to Honor Modjeaka. A movement is on foot in Russian &nd Austrian Poland to nonor the memory of Helena Modjeska, the Polish actress. A statue will be erected in the foyer of the Warsaw Theater. Explosion Kills Workman. With a roar that was heard for blocks an explosion partly wrecked one of the immense caissons of the new Chicago ami Northwestern Railroad station at Clinton and Madison streets, Chicago, instantly killing one of the workmen and injuring seven others. Two of the men suffered fractured skulls and may die. Hies in Burning? Store.

The Missouri House passed a prohibition law for passenger tra:n- nuking it (unlawful to drink or expose intoxicating liquors on passenger trains in that Statt or to ride on a passenger train in an intoxicated condition. The penalty is a ßne of from $3 to $23. Ttiwa Haa Anti-Salome Lnn. Iowa's new anti-Salome dance law provides a fine and a jail sentence for any one engaging in an "indecent drama, lay or exhibition, show or entertainment." The enforcement of the law is left to the sheriffs and to the police of the State.

Z Work of Congress

The tariff bill was reported Monday by Mr. Aldrich from the Committee on Finance. Senator Daniel led Demo cratic criticism of the reiorting of the hill to the Senate without affording the Democratic members an opportunity to inspect it. Senator Aldrich replied that to have proceeded otherwise would have entailed long delay, and reminded the members of the minority that the Republican majority alone would be held responsible for the tariff legisla tion to hi enacted by this Congress. A message from the House asking for the return of the bill reached the Senate too late for action. The House was in session two hours and fifteen minutes. The first action taken was the adoption of a resolution calling upon the Senate for a retiirn of the Payne tariff bill the next Thursday In order that it might be corrected so as to include products of petroleum In the free list.
