TEXAN TALKS OF THREATS J-odge Pleads for Protection of Poor Xew England From Cheap For eign Labor Cotton Tar iff Is Reduced. WASHINGTON, June 1. After, in ef fect, receiving information from Chair man Aldrich that night session for the consideration of the tariff bill would be held, beginning with tomorrow, the Senate began consideration of the cotton-cloth schedule today. Smoot and Lodge, both majority members of the finance committee, were the principal orators, and both spoke in support of the committee provisions. Lodge spoke of the general policy of the Republican ?arty with reference to tariff revision, le contended that the purpose of the party had been merely so to revise the tariff as to protect American manufac turers against cheap foreign labor. He declared New England factories were returning only small dividends to their owners, and traced the general Increase in the prices of commodities to the en larged volume of gold in the country, rather than to the advantages accruing from the protective system. The House was in session only 13 minutes today, adjourning until Thursday without transacting any business. Call for Xlght Sessions. Aldrich indicated his intention of pre senting a resolution providing that, be ginning Tuesday, the daily sessions should begin at 10:30 A. M., and continue until 31 P. M., with an Intermission of 2 hours for dinner. Culberson, the Democratic caucus lead er, objected, forcing the resolution over ' Until tomorrow. Aldrich, however, gave notice that he would move a recess at 6:30 today until 30:30 A. M-, tomorrow, with the intention of then asking for night sessions and the carrying out thereafter of the programme as indicated in his resolution. Denies He Makes Threats. During the discussion caused by his resolution, Aldrich stated that unless greater progress should be made during the next week, still longer hours would be necessary. Bailey characterized the remarks of the chairman of the finance committee as a "threat," but Aldrich de clared that such was not the case, and in support of his declaration, called the . Senate to witness the fact that there had been no effort to curtail debate on the tariff. Martin suggested that business might . be accelerated by the earlier reporting of the finance committee's recommendations on hides, wood pulp, zinc, lumber and coal, to which Aldrich nodded assent. Cotton Tariff Reduced. Cotton minimums were reduced from 55 to 20 per cent ad valorem on sugges tion of Aldrich, following which a clash ensued between the Rhode Island Sena tor and Dolliver, when the latter at tempted to secure an amendment replac ing with ad valorem rates a line of spe cific rates on cloth not dyed or otherwise treated. lea Is unsanitary and otherwise unsatis factory and must be replaced with a modern structure acceptable to the Government.

Other works bury the plays themselves in a long article, but in The "Cen tury" separate alphabetical entries are made of all the plays and characters. You thus find Othello, King Lear, Hamlet, etc., treated separately, as also Desdemona, Cordelia and Ophe lia, as well as a long biographical article on Shakespeare him self. This plan is carried out in every department of knowledge and is the greatest ;of time-savers. It is a real pleasure to con sult The "Century," because it is so easy to find just what you want.
