Philippines Free Importation of lno.000.000 dears Instead of 70.000. 000 as la Senate amendment. WASHINGTON, July 17. President Taft will win his fight for free raw ma terials or reduced duties. Nearly every member of the tariff conference com mittee conceded this today. The indi cations are that when the new tariff bill becomes a law the rates on the articles which the president desired to come in free will be as follows: Iron ore. free (present rate 40 cents per ton). Oil, free (now protected by counter vailing: duty). Hides. 7H per cent ad valorem (pres ent rate 15 per cent). Coal. 45 cents per ton (present rate C7 cents). Lumber, probably $1.IS on ronrt, with Senate rates on finished. This would be a material reduction through out the lumber schedule. Congressmen Join Taft Forces. When the conferees transferred to the President's shoulders the responsibility of putting the foregoing raw materials on the free list, it was not believed he would meet with success In swinging Congressmen and Senators into line. For several days, however, members of Congress have been going to the White House, and not a few of them came away convinced that the President was right In insisting on lower duties, it was also acknowledged that any re duction in rates on these articles would amount to an Administration triumph. Found Taft Could Get Votes. In effect, the President was told by the conferees that. If iron ore, oil. coal, hides or lumber were put on the free list or the rates reduced below the fig ures adopted by the Senate, be would -have to get the votes." It was recognized that It would be impossible to put hides, lumber and coal on the free list If the conference report "was to be adopted by the Senate. Neither was It believed the rates on these articles ooold be reduced. That a change of sentiment had taken place In the.

' Cssma Osnt af That, Dwa Tn S Tells Friends "Confidentially" That He Will Soon Marry Miss Marjorle Gould. J PARIS. July 17. (Special.) Incredible as the story may seem, it is believed to day among certain well-informed people that Count Bonl de Castellane has been re-establishing his credit around Paris bv reDeating confidentially" that he is shortly to marry Miss Marjorle Gould daughter of George Gould, when his finances would be fixed up to the satis faction of ail concerned- Preposterous as such a story would appear, it is be lieved. at the Pro-Catelau, the fashion able adjunct of the Cafe de Paris in th Bols de Boulogne, where Count Bonl hai been lately giving entertainments rival ling those of Frederic Townsend Martin, in luxury. When asked if Count Borrt , paid his bills, the Maltre d'hotel of Catelau re plied, "No," but says he had no fear of giving him all the credit he wanted since Castellane was to marry Miss Gould. The only condition that lends the slightest possible color to such an ' as sumption is the fact that Mrs. George Gould and Miss Gould have been seen among the guests at Count Boni's enter tainments. Mrs. Gould's friends say that she never had any particularly un kindly feeling toward the. former hus band of Majorie's sunt, Anna.

EXCESS PAYMENTS OF $15,000 After Receipting in Full for Services Rendered. DID NOT PROSECUTE CASES Paid $27,500 in Seven Months, Which Tawney Considers Too Much Will Be Cut Off tTncle Sam's Payroll. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash- ngton. July 17. That Francis J. Heney has been not only overpaid, but im properly paid, for his services as prose cutor of Government land-fraud cases will be charged on the floor of the House of Representatives on Monday by Chairman Tawney, of the appropria tions commitee, and probably by other members as well. As a result of considerable probing Into Mr. Heney's financial relations with the Department of Justice, Mr. Tawney learns that after several pay ments had been made to Mr. Heney for his services in connection with the Hyde-Benson "and Binger Hermann cases, he was. on March 2, 1908, paid a balance of $8000 on account of those particular prosecutions, and in acknowl edging receipt of this amount Mr. He ney used this language: "In full payment for services in the cases of Hyde-Benson and Binger Her mann." Yet, on July 6 following, the records of the department show that Mr. Heney was paid an additional 10,000 "'on ac count of services in Hyde-Benson and Binger Hermann cases," and again on January 21, 1909, was paid an addi tional $5000 "on account of services in the case of Binger Hermann." This additional $15,000. in Mr. Tawney's opinion, was nothing short of a present from the Government. Mr. Tawney holds to tho opinion that Mr. Heney was paid all too liberally in the Benson-Hyde and Hermann cases, aside from this $15,000 donation, for it is of record that Mr. Heney failed to prose cute either case. One other fact to be brought out Is that Mr. Heney, on account of service rendered between December 2, 1905, and June 30, 1906, was paid $27,500. This, Mr. Tawney maintains, is a much larger fee than was Justified by the work done. It Is the universal opinion of those most interested in this matter that Mr. Heney will not draw further compensa tion out of the Federal Treasury. He has received no payments from the Gov ernment since this Administration opened. BUTTERFLIES FOR HATPINS Children of Palouse Paid Five Cents for Each Insect They Capture. SPOKANE. Wash., July 17.

FABULOUS PRICES FOR MUSIC Mrs. Mackay and Mrs. Palmer Stir London's Wonder. ARE TOO CLOSE NEIGHBORS Strains of Mrs. Palmer's High' Priced Orchestra Drown Voices of Mrs. Mackay's Costly . Singers In Next House. LONDON, July 17. (Special.) It was particularly unlucky that Mrs. John W Mackay and Mrs. Potter Palmer chose the same date for the elaborate parties they gave this week. Their residences on Carlton House Terrace adjoin, and, be cause of this proximity, certain features of Mrs. Potter Palmer's entertainment marred the enjoyment of Mrs. Mackay's guests. Mrs. Mackay's friends intimate that she was first to select the date. At any rate, the coincidence was the climax of the rivalry among all the American hostesses here. They have been vying in the mag nificence of their entertainments and in engaging' the highest-priced artists to amuse their guests. Pay Fortunes to Entertain. Lady Cooper, sister of the late James Henry Smith, paid $9000 to her singers. At ' Dorchester House, from the Whitelaw Relds Mme. Nordica got $2500, and McCormick J1250. The Relds made an offer to Mme. Tetrazzini, but she had been engaged previously by the Bassoons. The artists who whiled away the evening for Mrs. Mackay's guests received 110,000. Two thousand five hundred dollars was paid to Jan Kube llk alone. It remained for Mrs. Potter Palmer to bring over the two famous Russian dancers who are creating a furore in Paris, In addition to the Russians who are dancing at the Coliseum here. Their emoluments and those of the singers amounted to 12,O00; a temporary exten sion to her house cost Mrs! Palmer $4000, and flowers $2000. Orchestra Drowns Singing. Unluckily, Mrs. Mackay's concert-room looks out on the terrace where Mrs. Pal mer's Russian dancers performed in a large marquee. The lively strains of Mrs. Palmer's orchestra almost drowned the voices of Mrs. Mackay's singers. So the concert-room windows had to be closed; the heat in the room became al most unbearable, and the women glowed until if must be said the complexions of some suffered. Mrs. Palmer's gueBts became wildly en thusiastic over the dancers, particularly Mme. Paviona, who, they vowed. Is the most alluring performer ever seen. They applauded her thunderously; even closed windows could not hush their applause, which, as it happened, was loudest when Mme. Nordica was singing to Mrs. Mac kay's guests. Applause at Wrong Time. The noise had a most irritating effect on the songstress, who is accustomed to ap plause only when her song ends, and on her auditors, who wished to enjoy her singing undisturbed. Mrs. Palmer, conscious of her tri umph, wore a gown of deep red silk; its bodice was a mass of gold embroid ery. She wore a beautiful . new orna ment In her hair, "a spray of diamonds and ivy leaves so large that it covered the crown of her hair. Sprays of Ivy leaves were looped around her bodice. . The marquee and the stage, which was very large, to give ample room to the dancers, were beautifully decorated with lilies, roses and pink geraniums.

Coming Together, They Burst Sea Suddenly Rises and Steamer Is Tossed on Wares. ASTORIA, Or., July 17. (Special.) Captain Robert- Jones, of the little steam er Hoo-Hoo. which arrived this evening from Tillamook, reports sighting a water spout off the coast thi3 morning. In fact there were two spouts, and both broke- together, causing a heavy down pour of water and a rough sea. The Hoo-Hoo left Tillamook at 10 o'clock this morning, crossing out over a rough bar. Outside the wind was blow ing fresh from the southwest, with a choppy sea running. At 11:45, when three miles north of Fal con Rock, Captain Jones sighted a huge waterspout that extended far into the clouds above, about 15 miles to the west northwest of him. The spout was travel ing toward the shore at a rate of about 10 miles an hour, and close behind it was a smaller one. The sun was shining brightly 'where the steamer was, and Captain Jones could see Tillamook Rock plainly, but about 20 min utes after he sighted the spouts they ap peared to draw together and then burst. A heavy downpour of water practically In streams followed, and for 15 minutes Tillamook Rock was completely 6hut out of view. Soon after, the sea suddenly rose, and for several minutes the little steamer was tossed about by the huge waves. Captain Jones says the sight was the prettiest one he ever saw. EDUCATOR DINES ON DOG Professor Haddon, of Cambridge, Guest of Igorrotes at Seattle. SEATTLE, Wash.; July 17. (Special.) Professor A. C. Haddon, reader in eth nology in the Cambridge University, Eng land, dined upon dog this morning with a dozen Igorrotes as messmates. The canine banquet took place in the Igorrote village on the Pay Streak, and, saving the presence of Professor Haddon and a half dozen of the students of the Uni versity of Washington, who have been in attendance upon - his Summer lectures, was an exclusively Igorrote affair. Pro fessor Haddon did , not eat much of the dog, but says he liked what he did eat. This morning, having made many notes in his book, the professor brought In a dog, and he brought with it his students. The feast was pulled off while the peda gogue and his pupils made more notes.

NOTARIES POOL RECEIPTS Nothing Comes of Threatened Troa ble at Coeur d'Alene At Mis soula, Offices Agree Hereafter to Remain Closed at Night. SPOKANE, Wash., July! 17. Th number of applications for reservation lands today was somewhat smaller than on the preceding days, not only here, but in Coeur d'Alene, Missoula and Kalispell. In Spokane, about 5500 ap plications were filed; in Coeur d'Alene, 5500; In Missoula, 2300, and Kalispell, 1500. ' The total for three days .n Spokane and Coeur d'Alene is a little over 23,000 each. The crowds 'at the hotels are easing off and it appears that many persons who have come West to file are passing through to Seattle to see tn exposition first and are planning to ap ply on their way back. At Coeur d'Alene, where serloui trouble among the notaries was threat ening, an agreement has been reached whereby all will get together, banish competition and pool receipts. Notaries here say that about one oul of every 10 applicants is a woman, in almost all cases from the East seeking a home in the West. Many of the men who apply look upon it as a huge gamble. The women, however, are In earnest. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illi nois and Iowa are the outside states most largely represented. The grand total for three days of registration is about 56,000.
