"The bill, now transmitted, has been drawn by a board of tariff ex perts, of which" the insular collectoi of customs, Col. George R. Coltoa was the president. The board held a great many open meetings ?n Manila, and conferred fully with rep resentatives of all business interests in the Philippine Islands. It is of great importance to the welfare -oi the islands. "The bill should be passed at the same time with the pending Payne bill, with special reference to the pro visions of which it was proposed. "I respectfully recommend that this bill be enacted at the present session of Congress as one incidental to, and required by, tre passage of th Payne bill WILLIAM II. TAFT.

Result, six horses J "1a.1 l-li' i ueaa, me Duuamg and contents, in cluding vehicles, harvesting and farm ing machinery 'entirely destroyed, with an approximate total loss of $25,000; with damage done to the stables of Mr. R. C. McManus nearby to the southeast on College street to the extent of about $1,200 and a similar amount of loss charged up to Mr. A. TV. Whitaker's stables which adjoined on the west. All the injury done to the two latter establishments waa wrought by the collapsing of heavy "brick walls which carried with them part of the roofing beneath," KENILVVORTHJNN BURNS Mr. Gazzam, the Owner1, larely Escapes With Life and May Die Hotel Cost $310,000 $74,000 In surance. Asheville, N. C, Special.---Kenil-worth Inn, the magnificant properly of Mr. J. M. Gazzam, which caught fire Wednesday morning shortly be fore 2 o'clock, was burned to the ground The hotel, located nearly two miles from town, was inaccessible to fire protection and the firemen, while responding promptly, were of service only in the use of ladders. . Senator Gazzam," who barely escap ed with his life by - jumping from a third story window, is' believed to be fatally injured. He has a broken ankle, an injured spine and a fracture of the skull at the base of the brain. One of the most narrow escapes was that of Tom Foster, a negro ser vant employee, who roomed over the dining room quarters, Foster was not awakened until his bed falling par tially through the burned floor tilted him ant. He jumped from the win dow to a roof and then fell to the fire escape. He was injured, but will re cover. Fire Chief Bernard, who was cut off by flames while attempting to arouse Mr. Gazzam, and who was scorched in fighting his way out, is all right. Mr. Bernard also suffered a sprained ankle. The guests of the inn were cared for after leaving the hotel by the oth er hotels and boarding houses of the town while many found welcome in private homes. The inn was a mass of ruins in three hours after the nre was discov ered. Tt burned faster, the firemen say, than any fire that Asheville has had in many years. There is nothing standing but two great chimneys to mark the spot of the inn location. The grass and trees for 100 3'ards away trom the inn are scorched and killed. The inn was built 10 years ago at a cost or $51U,00U and was popular as a resort hotel. A number of con ventions, including the Young Wom en's Christian Association and Young People s Missionary Movement were booked for this season. The total loss is estimated at $250,000. It is doubtful if Kenil- worth Inn will be rebuilt. Mr. Gazsam carried but $74,000 in surance on the property and his loss was heavey as was also Mrs. Martin's who lost all house furnishings.

Preparations also are being made at Salonika for the despatch of a number of addition al trains for Constantinople. In view ofall the criticisms made cf the tariff bill as amended by the finance committee of the Senate, par ticularly the observation that the bill will not produce sufficient revenues for the country's need, Senator Aid- rich will undertake on Monday, to satisfactorily explain the revenue feature of the measure. As the Dem ocrats will ask that the bill lie over until Monday, Mr. Aldrich did not make on Thursday the statement of which he has already given notice. Congress will hare many ship sub sidy bills to select from, if it con- . eludes to act on that kind of legisla tion during the Sixty-first Congress. Representative Sulzer, of New York, :. is the latest members to introduce a bill on the subject. 'His bill pro vides for a graduated system of ton nage taxes in favor of American built ships and against foreign ships. "It follows closey the poicy of the early statesmen," said Mr. Sulzer, explaining the bill. "During the con tinuance of the old law the United States had the finest deep sea carry ing fleet in the world." The Democratic senators will not delav the passage of the trail! bill. They v held their second conference Saturday and while no formal conclu sion was reached on any point there was a consensus of opinion in favor of permitting the Republicans to take . entire charge of the measure with llie understanding that they assume, as they necessarily must, the entire re sponsibility for it. It was slated that the postponement cf pioceedings in the senate Avas due to a request from the Democrats, but they take exception to this statement, " and say they will be prepared to pro ceed with he consideration of the bill whenever the Republican senators de sire to take it up. 1 The nearest approach to a formal egreement cf the senators was a reit eration cf their former expressions in favor of an income tax. There is no doubt that the party in the senate is united on that point, but there Avas no effort to bring about a concerted un- ' derstanding on rates of duty on any of the articles covered by the tariff. There was no divergence of opinion as to the desirability of a general re duction of rates on necessaries of life, but there were some indications that individual Democratic senators would stand against specified de creases in the interests of their own localities.
