Ilka the calculations of everyone ele. went awry thla session; the combination was rormeo. ano the Democrats found that tha Insur gent held the whip hand, and wers ready to claim whatever credit might ttarh to tha passage of tn popgun bills which were engineered through the Penate. c. ... tha cotton bill is concerned. It has been notd that the attitude of the Southern Democrata of the senate differed from their altitude on tha wool bllL They were willing tha wool bill should bo reported without hearing and without Investigation, even though reported adversely. Not so wun tn cotton bill, which struck at tha Indus tries la their own states. On that they demanded a hearing, which meant da- lay, and delay they got. And ven with the delay, not all the Democratic Senators were willing to vote for the cotton bill aa it passed the House, for cotton is purely a Southern product. Insurgents Spoil Plans. SO far as tba House Democrata ar concerned, they would hava been will ing to adjourn had the Senate rejected all tha tariff bills which they sent over. Tha Democrata control the House and can legislate aa they please, and can claim all credit for tha legislation passed by that body. Not ao In tha Senate, where the Democrats muat form an alliance with tha Insurgents to get a majority. And the-minute such an alliance I formed, that min ute tha Democrata must surrender their claim for credit for legislation pasaed by tha combine. The House leadera thought It belter for tha party to go before tha country on tha record of tha Democratic House, rather than go to the country on a record made possible only by an alliance with insurgents. But the Senate Democrats thought dif ferently at tha time, though some hava alnca changed their minds, and now tha record stands that tariff legislation was only possible In tha Senate by rea son of Insurgent Republican votes. As far aa tha Southern opposition to further revision at this session Is con cerned. It Is not confined to a reluct ance to reduce, tha tariff on cotton, but on augar and rlc a well, and tha manner In which Chairman Underwood haa held back the iron and steel bill makes it certain that an Iron and steel bill cannot get far this session. Under wood's interest in Iron and ateel was it J t v V JAMF.S BRYCK. amply shown by William J. Bryan, and while it may be true, a Underwood ha said, that he urged the ways and mean committee to report an Iron and steel bill. It Is evident that he did not exert himself as vigorously as he did to override the free wool Democrats, who constituted a majority of hi com mittee. It was another cae of the tariff being a local Issue. La FoIIctte After Credit. While It haa been assumed that Sen ator La Follette was entirely respon sible for the delay in reaching an agreement in tha wool conference com mittee, it is pretty well understood that Underwood was no more anxlou for an agreement than vii I Follette. He wanted the House to have full credit for passing a wool bill of It own. Just a La Follette wanted credit for forc ing tha House to accept hla bill. Both were protection measures, to. a degree, one mora so than the other, but both Underwood and Lav Follette knew the attitude of the President, and both were aware that any compromise they might reach would not have the de sired effect of "putting the President In a hole." but rather would leave the Democrata and insurgents In the hole they hoped to dig for Mr. Taft. This Is another reason the Democrats lost In terest In tariff legislation; they feared the consequences of putting up half- baked and ill-conceived tariff bills to hava them disapproved by the Presi dent, with reason and common sense behind him. As a matter of nkct there are many Democrat tn Congre who sincerely wish Congress had adjourned Imme diately after the passage of the Ca nadian reciprocity bill; many Demo crata fear a blunder was made tn bringing tn and forcing the passage through the Senate of the wool bill and free list bill. -But that blunder has been made, and the aole considera tion now ia how best to make amend for thl glaring tactloai political error.

DISCIPLINE SAVES LIVES PASSENGERS TELL OF WRECK OF EMPRESS OF JAPAxl When Chinese In Steerage Rnsb for Boats as Liner Strikes, Crew Holds Them With Revolvers. VICTORIA. Aug. 11. Passengers of the wrecked Canadian-Pacific liner Empress of China, which went aahore on Mera reef,' Japan, 150 feet from shore, July 17, arrived on the steamer Empress of Japan today and gave de tails of the wreck, amplifying the brief cablegrams received. The Empress of China, after weath ering the great typhoon which caused ao much devastation ashore, with waves 30 feet high breaking over the liner, encountered fog the following morning when nearlng the Japanese coast and was proceeding at slow speed when ahe "struck on the reef, 360 yard from Shlrahama village and half m. mile nearer shore than the Da kota wreck. Commander Cooper, chief officer, was on the bridge and two look out men were on duty. The liner bumped heavily over the reef and the engines were put full speed astern in order to pull her off, but the englnea atopped and the stern swung around, wrecking the steam steering gear. The discipline of tha ship's company waa excellent and the passengers were aoon reassured, only the Chinese steer age passengers becoming panic stricken. Some of the Chinese rushed up tha gangwaya toward tha boats, but drawn revolvers and a show of force soon quieted them, although they fought among themselvea for aoma time for places. It was soon found that tho liner was resting high on tha reef, tha bump by the stern having lifted the vessel out of the water. Tha fog aoon lifted and ahowed the ahore line cloae at hand. ' It was not found necessary to lower tha boata. for the ateamer was soon surrounded by Campana from Shlrahama. Breakfast was served on board and th cabin passengers got their baggage together. Within two hours all were landed safely. Tho survivors were sheltered In a temple at Shlrahama until taken to Yokohama by a tug. The ateamer lies wedged In on tho reef, having driven herself on two rocky pinnacles. The lower part is full of water and the main deck la sprung. Had the veasel not struck obliquely, it ia believed aha would have crumpled up her bows and gone down, probably with great loss of Ufa. - WALLA WALLA VOTE TODAY Commission Form of Government to Be Tried Now.

WOOL TANGLE UNWINDING Much Depends on Action Following President's Expected Veto, but Leaders Have Little Hope of Overriding It. WASHINGTON. Aug. 13. The whole tariff revision question will be settled this week, which in all probability will mark the closing of Congress. All the power of the Democratic party now in control of the House and of the effective Democratic insurgent coalition in the Senate, will be cen tered on quick action on the trio of tairlff measures. This means. In the belief of leaders of both parties, an ad journment by the end of the week, or within a few days thereafter. Out of the present tangled situation, with the three tariff bills wool, farm ers' free list and cotton In varyini? stages of legislation, the wool measure may be the first to emerge. A complete agreement between the two houses had been reached on this piece of legisla tion, which provides for a basic aver age duty of 29 per cent ad valorem on raw wool, with the wool classifi cation provisions identically as framed by Democratic Leader Underwood of the House, making a flat tariff on all wools. It will be rushed past its final stage In Congress and then on to tho expected Presidential veto. which awaits all the tariff revision bills. Everything hinges on that veto and the subsequent move in the House. Democratic leaders are sure of the passage of the bill over the President's veto in the House but are doubtful of the outcome in the Senate. The free list bill and the cotton bill are still hung up. The conferees on the free list have disagreed to tha House amendment, adding lemons to the free list, and to the Penate amend ment limiting free importation of meat and cereal products to those countries which hav reciprocal trade arrange ments with the United States.

The cam paign publicity bill has been agreed to in conference and will be reported to both houses tomorrow. Its companion piece, for direct popular election of United States Senators, has failed in conference and will go over to the reg ular session. Confirmation of the arbitration trea ties with Great Britain and France bids fair to po over until the next session.

' ' LUMBER SURPLUS IS BIG National Association Urges Manu facturers to Submit Data. - TACOMA, Aug'. 18. (Special.) Sta tistics showing that the cut of lumber for the month of June exceeded the shipments for the same period by more than 64.000.000 feet, were issued today at the Tacoma headquarters of the Na tional Lumber Manufacturers' Associa tion. The figures show in detail that tho amount in stock June 1 was 2.457,600, 000 feet. The cut of the 421 mills which reported to the National associa tion for June was 613.500,000 feet, and shipments were 649,500.000 feet. The excess of cut over shipped lumber thus amounted to 11.65 per cent. Despite these figures, the tone of the report Is not pessimistic. It points out that June Is alwaye a quiet month, and that the excess waa to be expected. It reminds the lumberman that this year's report is the first of its kind, and is merely the recording of a condition which has existed for years unnoticed.
