I The fight against the bill was open-, ed In the interest of the beet sugar In dustry by Mr. Fordney of Michigan. He recalled the republican member ship to Its pledges on the stand-pat tar iff planks of the party. Clark Surprised at Defeat. In speaking generally of the area and the productiveness of the Philip pine Islands, Clark said he had never been so much surprised since a repub lican beat him for congress In 1894. "You oould, he said, "mm the whole of the islands into the congressional district represented by Stevens of Texas." Stating the democratic posi tion on the bill he said his party would vote for It, although in commit tee the democrats had voted against it simply because the democratic sub stitute for absolute free trade had not been supported by the republicans. MIssourTan Raises Laughter. Illustrating the changes in the-to bacco industry, Clark caused laughter on both sides" of the' chamber by de claring th6re were in his district 150 brick houses and 100 brick barns, all equal in architectural beauty to the executive offices occupied by President Roosevelt, and all built out of the profits of tobacco raised and sold dur ing the civil war for more than a dol lar a pound. Discussing as aif absurd ity, the enormous amount of sijgar that the Philippines are supposed to pro duce, Clark gave the amount raised "in the United States proper" and. also the production "In the United States im proper," In vhich he Included Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines. The ways and means committee', he said, had been informfed by sworn, statements that every, acre In the Philippines would be planted in tobac co, And-by the sugar people'that these same acres would be planted la sugar. It all reminded him of draw poker or a game of duckB?p.nd drakes. He did not blame the beet sugar people fpr working against the bill, but said they were seven years behind.

Speaks From the Forum. Clark spoke from the "foruni," in front, of- the speaker's desk and as he progressed he would cross to the re publican side and emphasize his state ments with gestures directly In the faces of his-political opponents. Hav ing his ^attention called to the "sugar trust" 6y a Question from Broussard of Louisiana, he declared dramatically "I'll tell you 'about the sugar trust if 'ypu beet sugar people over here will yote with, us to wipe out the differen tial tariff of 26^6 centfi on refined sug ar, we will kill the sugar trust as dead as a mullet." He recalled the sugar de bate of two years ago and. drew Dal zell of Pennsylvania In£o the discus sion to substantiate bis statement that the house organization was "run over rough shod on 'that day." 'I guess that's so," admitted Dalzell, "but what became of them after wards?" he asked. "D, well," said Clark, "but If you beet sugar people will, lying in a prop osition here now to abolish the dif ferential or to- cut it down one-half, I will stand with, you." JThe question whicfc was of immeas urably greater importance than the Philippine sugar question, Clark de clared, was the German tariff situa tion and ithe Dingley tariff in general.
