to His Ccnmmittee.
TWO NEW FEATJRES
The Measure Is Drawn to Meet the
Conditions of the Recent Decision
of the Supreme Court-Mr.
Choate to Succeed Hay.
Washington, Dec. 10.--Chairman
Payne of the ways and means commit
tee presented to his republican col
leagues of the committee on the reve
nue tariff bill for the Philippines,
which he had drawn to meet the con"i
tions of the recent supreme court de
cision. Republican members of the
comimittee met and discussed the sub
ject. This meeting was executive and
preliminary to a full meeting of the
committee tomorrow morning, when
the Philippine tariff measure will be
submitted to the Democratic mem
bers and: hen voted upon.
The Payne bill is quite brief, with
two main features, vix., applying the
Dingley law as against Philippines ex
ports to this country and applying the
Philippine commission's tariff sched
ule to goods entering the Philippines.
A further section grants a rebate of
customs tax on goods which have paid
interna;4 revenue tax in this country.
There is no provision in the meas
ure that it shall be temporary, so that
the rates, If imposed, will be applica
ble until congress otherwise acts.

New York, Dec. 10.-Many Repub
licans in New York state have not
been able to undlorstand why Ambas
sador Joseph II. Choate has prolonged
his vacation in this country. It has
been said in Washington that if Mr.
Low had been defeated on election
day Preea4ent Reosevelt was to have~
appointed Mr. Low ambassador to
Great Britain.
Another story is out today from Re
publicans who have talked with Pres
ident Roosevelt within the last few
days. They said they believed that
President Roosevelt is to appoint Mr.
Chdate to be secretary of State in
place of Secretary Hay, who may pos
sibly take Mr. Choate's place as am
bassador.

Berlin, Dec. 10.-Dr. Hasse, the Pan
German leader in the relchstag, has
been defeated, at least temporarily in
his purpose of bringing the Edinburgh
speech of British Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain before the reichstag, by
the sudden and possibly diplomatic ill
ness of Dr. Von Thielmann, the secre
tary of the treasury. It was Mr.
Hasse's intention to start a discussion
on Chamberlain's remarks during the
interpellation today of the subject of
veterans' pensions. An exciting ses
sion was expected, but the sensation
was postponed by the announcement
that Dr. Von Thielmann, who was to
have replied to the interpellation, is
suffering from influenza.
lAarasseu0lr Probable Snoeeuseor.
Washington, Dec. 10.-The reported
assignment of Monslgnor Scalabrlni
of Placenza, Italy, as the successor of
Cardinal Martlnelli, the papal delegate
in thlis country, is regarded as very im
probable. Monsignor Spalabrli is re
garded as one of the ablest ecclesias
ties of the church in Italy.
SGREAT BOER MEETING
Sympathizers Gather at Chicago and
Will Make Protest.
3 SPEECR BY COCKRIN
e Althoegh a Small Admlislon Was
Charged There Was Not Standing
Room--Money Raised for
Women sad Children.
Chloago, Deo.10.-Program of protest
against British methods in the South
African was carried out before an
immense audience in the Auditorium
Theatre here Sunday night. Follow
ing an eloquent address by W. Bourke
Cockran, and earnest speeches by oth
ersa, resolutions for the appointment
of a committee to bring the sentiments
I of the meeting before the president
were adopted.
Although an admission was charged,
the funds being intended to aid the
- Boers and especially their women and
childtin, standing room was at a pre
mium and many were unable to gain
admittance.
The program opened with the song,
B ..The True Heart," sung by 19 Ger
man singing societies of Chicago. Dr.
Hiram Thomas, head of the People's
I church, followed with a prayer for the
women and children in South African
prison camps. Then followed short ad
dresses by Judge Theo Brentano and
Judge Murray Tuley. chairman of the
Chicago branch of the Transvaal
league under the auspices where the
meeting was held.
There were 500 people on the stage
when Mr. Cockran the orator of the
evening, arose and bowed in resogni
tion of the tumult of applause which
greeted him. He spoke at length and
time and again was compeltei"to stop
until applause ceased.
The meeting closed with a remark
ale demonstration. Following a speech
by Bishop Spaulding of Peoria, Ill.,
the great audience roared its approval
t of the Boer cause, the cheering being
long and continued and then contri
butions were asked for the relief of
the stricken women and children in
the South African camps. The first
response was a check for $500 sent up
by a man who requested that his name
be withheld. Then followed checks
for $100, the contributors of this
amount being numerous.
When smaller sums were asked for,
money came freely from all parts of
the great auditorium. The total
a oaunt raised was something over
$5500.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
"Resolved, that we as American cit
izens. believing that the wanton de
struction of property of non-combat
ants by British military authorities In
South Africa (without precedent in
modern times, save by English officers
- in the war of the American revolution)
is a source of needless suffering to the
people of the South African republics
and without advantage to the military
operations of the British army, and
that the slaughter of the helpless and
innocent, caused by English prison
pens, is a causeless outrage upon the
humanity of the civilized world which
amply justifies concenerated remon
strance by American and European
states; and believing that the rights
and obligations of common humanity
are not determined by geographical or
political limitations; and regarding
the treaty of 1871 as made to be ob
served by England as well as by Amer
ica, do most solemnly remonstrate and
protest against the acts of the English
government,
"Resolved, that we, and each of us,
do hereby pledge ourselves to use our
utmost powers to make this, our pro
test, known to our several represento
tives in the American congress, and to
cause a copy of these resolutions to
be brought to the attention of the
president of the United States with
our most respectful but urgent peti
tion that the treaty of Washington of
May 8. 1871, be strictly enforced, and
that the use of American ports and
waters be henceforth denied to ves
sels operating under British charters
for the augmentation of supplies of
war; and that the president of the
United States will employ every possi
ble means to bring to an end the hor
rors of concentration camps and a war
fare which. by its unexampled ferocity
and enormous coat of life and treas
ure has astounded the civilized world.
"Resolved, that the chairman be au
thorized to appoint a committee of
citizens of Chicago to call the atten
tion of the president to these resolu
tions and inform him of the sentiment
of the citizens of Chicago, and that
such committee shall have power to
add to its number citizens of other:
Sportions of the United States."
A resolution was also adopted com-,
Smending Governor Yates of Illinois for
issuting a prolpmation calling for as
slistant for te occupants of concen
'apat Alrtant
WORK OF CONGRESS.
No Special Programme Mapped Out
for the Present Week.
T NEW CANAL TREATY
J It Is the Only Measure of Importance
to Come Before the Senate-The
Philippine Tariff May Come
up in the Houne.
t Washington, Dec. 10.-The only
a measure of importance which the sen
1 ate has on its calendar for this week
1 is the new Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
- making provision for the abrogation
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and
opening the way for the construction
of an isthmian canal by the United
States. Acting for the committee on
foreign relations Senator Lodge will
ask the senate to go into executive
session to-day for the consideration
of the treaty and each day hereafter
until the convention Is disposed of.
It can be said that the treaty will be
ratified, and it now looks as if this
result would be secured after compara
tively little delay. There will be some
debate and some features of the docu
ment will be closed as undesirable, but
there is no probability of captious op
position.
Beyond the consideration of the
treaty very little business will be un
dertaken before the holidays. It is now
generally agreed that the question of
reciprocity will go over until January,
probably without 'so much as being
mentioned.
The nomination of Attorney General
Knox will be reached at the first execu
tive session, but immediate confirma
tion will probably be antagonized by
some senators.
The house will probably pass the
measure to meet the situation created
by the Philippine decision of the su
preme court. Up to the present time,
however, the Republican members of
the ways and means committee have
not decided upon the character of the
measure which will be reported. A
difference of opinion exists to to what
should be done.
SMint Director'. Report.
Washington, Dec. 10.-The report of
Geo. E. Roberts. director of the mint
for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1901.
shows the coinage amounted to 176.
999,132 pieces of the value of $136,340,
781. Of this $99,065,715 was in gold.
$24,298850 in silver dollars. $10.9G3,648
in fractional silver and $2.009,56S in
minor coins. There also were coined
at the Philadelphia mint 225.000 gold
pieces of the value of $349,014 for the
government of Costa Rica.
The estimated production of gold in
the United States during the calendar
year 1900 was of the value of $79,179,
000, and notwithstanding the fact that
this country led the world in produc
tions, its imports exceedled its exports
by $12.866,010. The production of North
America. practically all of which conies
to the United States, was $116.051,500.
The world's coinage of gold in the
calendar year 1900 was $354,936,497 and
of silver $177,011.902.
The industry consumption of gold in
the United States during the calendar
year 1900 is estimated at $16,367,500,
and of the world approximately $75,
000,000. The stock of subsidiary coin
in the country is limited by law to
$100,000,000 and on Nov. 1, 1901, the ex
isting stock was $90.313.512.
It is suggested that the limit of the
country's stock of subsidiary coin be
raised to at least $120,000,000. No goc l
reason is apparent, says the repor
why the coinage of dollar pieces should
not be allowed to cease and all of the
silver on hand be used in subsidiary
coinage.
