Washington, June 15.-r-lnduls;lng In a vigorous denunciation of toe com . mitts on ft a nc btaoie of its changs of front overnight on the subject of tsbaceo Importations In the Philippine Islands, Senator Burkett. of .Nebraaka. standing face to face with Senator Aldrioh. vhairroan of that committee, to-day declared that IU action looked to htm like a "jams of petty polities." He characterised this action a '"an effort to hang the Senator from Wisconsin up In. the air," and Anally declared that this event afforded Senators a good op portunity to "vote a lack of confi dence in the committee." Tls tart language followed Mr. Al erich's statement that the commit tee on finance would .accept the amendment proponed by Senator Bulkeley to reduoe the number of cigars to be admitted free of duty from the iPhlHpplnes from 150.000.090 to 70.000,000 and the quantity of til er tobacco from 1.600,000 to 1.000. 000 pounds, together with a provi sion that the -wrapper and filler to-, baoco should be unstemmed, when re ceiving this concession. The support ack of the Bulkeley amendment was evident when the two Pennsylvania Senators gave their sup port to their colleagues from Connect icut, all of whom had read strong'se tltlons from cigar makers for the ac tion they dsatred. Mr. AJdrich. replying calmly, de clared that there were men whose de nunciation was the highest commen dation, and said the committee's ac tion involved no mystery or petty politics, but that It proposed in the future to change a schedule, when convinced that a mistake had been made, as It bad done In the past Ue expressed the opinion that the actual Importations from the Philippines would not equal the number named In the amendment the committee had accepted, and said that what it had done was to enoourage a people, who had been brought under the American flag. ULFOIAJDTTK'8 AMENDMENT. Encouraged y the committee's ac tion, Senator LaPollette proposed an other amendment to reduce the free importation of cigars to 60,000,000 an nually, but this was defeated St to 27. An Interesting feature of the day's discussion was a declaration by Sen ator Borah that he proposed to cast his vote for loosening the band, which tied the PJitllpplnes to the United States. He declared himself in favor of giving the Philippine Isl ands Independence and said In that respect, his convictions would force him to differ from his party and per haps from the President of the Unit ed States, as he did not believe a colonial policy to be consistent with the constitution of the United States. Senator Owen delivered a long speech in criticism of the entire tar iff tlll as formulated by the majority of the Senate. The iPhflipplne Island amendment to the tariff bill was technically un der consideration until 6 o'clock, when It was temporarily laid aside and Mr. Aldrlch took advantage of the op portunity to present the finance com mittee's amendment to the silk sched ule. OTHER AMENDM3ENT8. Mr. Aldrlch also submitted amend .. ments to the window glass schedule, reducing lh rates even below those provided In the House bill and elicit ed a strong protest from Senator Scott, who expressed the opinion that the change would be ruinous to the glass producing Industry. , He aim presented amendments reducing the rates on oscler and willow for basket maklnx, changing the rates upon electrodes, brushes, etc., and restor ing the House rate on baryteg. In response to the request of Sen ator Scott, action on the window glass schedule was postponed until to-mor-roWj but the other recommendations of the committee were adopted without division.
