FILIPINOS DON'T VANT 'EM
Taft Testifies on Immigration of Chi
nese Into Philippines.
Washington. March 5. Governor Taft
was oefore the senate committee on im
migration today, aoid gave his views on
the subjfet of Chinese immigration to
the Fhllippir.es. He said tho general con
viction of the committee was that the
Chinese ought t.ot to be allowed to enter
the islamls. He said there were 50.000
Chinese in Manila and in his judgment
not more than 150,000 in the whole oichi
pelago. Governor Taft said the Filipino-Chinese
half-breeds should net be kept out of the
Unitl-d States, "because they are F.lipi
nos. pure and sinmle."
"The best way for congress to meet
this problem," said Governor Taft. "is
to establish its policy with respect to
the United States and then trea: the
Philippine islands, so far as the introduc
tion of Chinese into the United States 13
concerned, cs if it were a foreign coun
try, and give the government commission
or th legislature in the islands some
rower and authority, in its discretion,
to admit skilled laborers."

Viewing Frozen Waters, ,
OUT-BANNERS HIS ESCORT
Climbs Through Snow to the

MAKES CANADA 'A VISIT
Stays But Minute and Starts
for Boston,
Rochester, N. Y., March 5. Prince Hen
ry of Prussia traveled from Chicago to
Niagara. Falls today, crossed the Cana
dian frontier for a brief stay, during
which he was officially welcomed hy the
dominion and resumed his Journey tonight
boundbound for Boston, over the New
York Central iine. His longest stop in
almost thirty hours of continuous travel
was at Niagara Falls, which he saw
bridged in with ice. Ho viewed, the
Horseshoe Falls from Table rock, the
American Falls from tho ledge over the
whirlpool on the Canadian shore, rode
down tho gorge io a point below the
"lower whirlpool and there inspected the
plant of tho Niagara Power company,
which converts tho forces of naturo to
the purposes of commerce. He was much
Impressed by tho falls, and as he stood
cn Table rock, looking across at the
Horseshoe, he said:
"It is magnificent! It is grand I"
He was much pleased, also, by the
swirling rapids down in the gorge, and
when he left his car at the whirlpool
he stood for several minutes watching
the tumbling of the waters.
The special train had traversed the dis
tance between Milwaukee and Chicago,
crossed Indiana and was well on its way
over Ohio before Prince Henry arose.
He was worn out when he left Mil
waukee, and he did not respond to demon
strations by the people of Toledo and
Sandusky. He did not receive notice of
the intention of the committee of citizens
at Toledo to formally receive him, and his
flrst knowledge of their plans' was con
veyed to him by their band playing "Die
"Wacht Am Rheine." It was too late then
to get up, and Toledo did not sa him.
At Cleveland thero was a friendly dem
onstration. Here Peter Karp, formerly a
bugler in the German army, climbed into
the car for a reunion with the prince,
which greatly pleased both. Karp was a
sailor with Prince Henry back Jn 1ST!,
nnd they were shjpmates. for more than
two j'ears. The prince recognized him at
once, and, taking him by the hand, led
him into tho car. They talked over the
eld days, while a crowd looked on with
approval.
At Eric, Pa., thero was a great crowd.
Women and children were wedged in
against the train. Several women fainted
and anybody anywhere near tho center
of the crowd was submitted to dangtrous
pressure. Mrs. Harriet Gridley, and Miss
Gridley, widow and daughter of Cai tain
C. V. Gridley, tho man who fought on
tho Olympla at Manila Bay. were re
ceived on tho train by Admiral Evans,
who went to the naval academy with the
captain, and were presented to the prince.
All through the morning, as the train ran
through a corner of Pennsylvania and
out into the stato of New York, there
were crowds at the stations, anxious to
see the prince and tender assurances of
friendship. At Buffalo Mayor Knight
welcomed the prince, and the local Ger
man societies sang. It was 2:45 whf-n the
special arrived ac Buffalo, and fcfteen
minutes later it was steaming out to
Niagara Falls. At Niagara Falls the
princo was met by Mayor Butler, and a
large reception committee, and formally
bidden to the city.
When Mayor Butler concluded. Dr. "VYm.
Snyder spoke in behalf of the Germans
of the city. Tho princo did not make a
speech, out thanked them both for their
greetirg. The prince was then driv n to
the Canadian side, accompanied ry a
mounted escort made up of iocr.l m:':tia
officers. Midway on tho b.id'- -svi i-h,

Schaffer and His Companions Make
an Agreement With Officials.
New York. March 5. After a conference
which lasted for two days, the visiting
committee of the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Iron and Steel Workers and the
officials of the American Tin Plate com
pany reached an agreement today. The
mills of the American Tin Plate company
will now be in operation uninterruptedly
during the summer months, when thean
nual scale of wages is formulated. This,
i: is claimed, means practically that this
continuous scale prevents the mills of
tho Tin Plate company from closing, and
renders a strike impossible.
In speaking of the agreement tonight
President Schaffer raid that the com
pany, through Vice President W. B.
Leeds, had asked for the conference, and
piesented the proposition for a continu
ous scale. The scale proposed by the
company, he said, was that which Is now
in effect, and as it Is generally satis
factory to the operatives, it was accepted.
Mr. Shaffer said:
"The committee also consented, as
precedent had been established in arrang
ing a continuous scale with the Republic
Iron and Steel company. The magnitude
of the deal may not be realized, but it is
the greatest that has ever been effected
with capital in the history of the working
people. It is agreed that, pending nego
tiations, the mills shall continue to oper
ate and the present rate of wages shall be
paid. Tho agreement holds good until
July 1, 1503, during which time tho present
scale will be paid. If any differences
arise, however, all questions will be dis
cussed at a conference. The question of
recognizing non-union mills may be sub
ject to discussion at a conference."
When asked how many mills and men
would be affected by the agreement, Mr.
Shaffer said that it included every mill
in the United States and probably 100,030
men.

Two Factions in Republican
Committee Confer With
Roosevelt,
HE IS NON-COMMITTAL
Declares He Will Let Congress
Settle the Matter.
PAYNE FOLLOWING UNEASY
Tawney Threatens to Cause
Trouble in the House,
Washington, March 5. Speaker Hender
son and Representative Canon of Illi
nois, called at tho White House today and
discussed with President Roosevelt the
subject of Cuban reciprocity and senti
ment thereon In the house.
Active canvassing continued among Re
publican members today preliminary to
the third caucus on Cuban reciprocity to
be held tomorrow night. The most posl
Itivc claims were mado by those, oppos
ed to Representative Payne's 20 per cent
reciprocity plan that there was a clear
majority against it.
Mr. Payne and his associates did not
concede this, however, and expressed tho
belief that a concession to Cuba ultimate
ly would be granted. It was said in this
connection that Speaker Henderson is
now favorable to the position taken by
the majority on the ways and means com
mittee and that this would exert much in
fluence in shaping the final outcome.
During the day several members' of
the cabinet were called pn by Messrs.
Tawney of the ways and means commit
tee, who had proposed the rebate plan,
and Morri3 of Minnesota, who has also
proposed a plan differing from that of
Mr. Payne. As an outcome of these calls
It was asserted that three members of
the cabinet, namely Postmaster General
Payne, Secretary Shaw and Secretary
Wilson, wero hopeful of seeing a solution
of the problem which would not endanger
any American industry. This was con
strued in some quarters to show a divis
ion in the cabinet, but it was stated by
those conversant with the situation that
the attitude of the cabinet members did
not warrant any such conviction.
Later in the day Representative Tawney
called at the White House and had a con
ference lasting nearly an hour and a half
with the president. At its conclusion Mr.
Tawney joined several of his associates
who are opposed to the Payne resolution.
It developed that Mr. Tawney had told
the president there was little or no possi
bility of the adoption of the Fayneptan
by the Republican conference and thavif
it was adopted, somo forty Republican
members would not consider themselves
bound and would carry the question to
the floor of the House where thero would
be additional complications, owing to the
attitude of Democratic members. The
president is undrestood to have made his
proposition quite clear, and in so doiag
Is said to have removed several nvsap
prehensions which hao been afloat of
late. He said he had no intention at pres
ent of sending a special message to con
gress on the subject The president ex
pressed tho most earnest solicitude that
a satisfactory adjustment be reached by
congress, sayir.g that this was an "in
herited oroblem." meaning that it had
come to him from the McKinley admin
istration. Furthermore the president, it
is asserted, indicated no positive deter
mination In fabor of any particular idea,
but rather a desire that congress should
deal with the subject according to its
best judgment. After hearing from Mr.
Tawney his associates expressed the be
lief that the president would accept the
rebate proposition if congress sent it to
him. They aim were considerably en
couraged to hear from Mr. Tawney that
the presller t was not laying down an
emphatic ultim-itum In favor of tha plan
presented by Mr. Ppne.
While these conferences were going on
at the White House, Chairman "Payne
and members of the ways and means
committee supporting him were Jn con
ference. Latr or.e of the tneoaoers saw
that he was confident that the Payne reo
iprocity proposition commanded a ma
jority "of the Republican members, but
that the minority was so large and so
disposed to carry tho contest into th
house that Mr. Tayne and his friends
recognized the seriousness of the situa
tion. However, there, was no disposition,
he said, to accept th rebate piao. as
it was stated that this was merely a
repetition of the plan proposed by the
head of the beet sugar organisation two
months ago.
Members of the bows were informed
during the afternoon that several mem
bers of the cabinet would confer with
the president on the Cuban question,
but so fur as could be learned at the
capttnl the only members of the cabinet
to call were Postmaster General Payne
and Secretary Root.
