Sixth Day?Chairman Payne, of the ways and means committee, presented tc his Republican colleagues of the committee a revenue tariff bill f^r tho Philippines, which he had drav meet the conditions or the recent supreme Court decision. The Payne bill is quite brief, with two main features, viz: applying the Digley law as against Philippine exports to this country, and applying the Philippine commissions tariff schedule to gcoda entering the Philippines. A further section grants a rebate of "osteins tax on goods which have paid an internal revenue tax in thi3 country. There is no proviso in the measure that it shall be temporary, so that the rates if imposed, would be applicable unt 1 Congress otherwise acted. During the discussion on the bill it developed that Mr. Russell, of Connecticut. and some other Republican members, strongly favored a proviso to the bill offered by Mr. Payne, by which the tariff rates would be scaled down from 15 to 20 per cent on goods passing between the United States and the Philippines. This was urged on the ground that Great Britain now had 40 per cent of the trade of the Philippines, and Germany and other European countries held a considerable percentage, while the United States had but 8 per cent of the trade. Seventh Day:?Speaker Henderson, at the session of the House, announced the appointment of the committees.

Mr. Payne's report will not be of an argumentative character, and will be confined to an explanation of the new bill.

The minority report promises to be quite extensive, taking up the general subjects cf colonial policy, imperialism and protection. SENATE.
