In the Coliseum.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, spon
sor for the new party, arrived Id Chi

faith" Tuesday.
At 12:43, Senator Dixon rapped for

sues of today, will take its place with
those parties which live on the dead
issues of the past"-
. Beverldge Temporary Chairman.
Former Senator Albert J. Bever
ldge, of Indiana, was sleeted tempor
ary chairman of the convention after
Senator Diion had called the assemb
lage to order and prayer bad been of
fered. Senator Beverldge, greeted
with prolonged cheers, delivered his
keynote speech, bristling with the
most advanced Ideas of progressivism.
f Mr. Beveridge spoke In part as fol
lows: "We stand for a nobler America.
We stand for an undivided nation. We
stand for a broader liberty, a fuller
justice. We stand for social brother
hood as against savage Individualism.
We stand for an Intelligent co-operation
instead of a reckless competi
tion. We stand for mutual helpful
ness, instead of mutual hatred. We
stand for 'equal rights' as a fact of
life instead of a catchword of politics.
We stand for the rule of the people
as a political truth, Instead of a mean
ingless pretense. We stand for a re
presentative government that repre
sents the people. We battle for the
actual rights of man."
There appears to be no question
among the delegates that Colonel
Roosevelt will get whatever he wants
at their bands. His nomination is de
pended upon to give the new party an
auspicious start, and if he resires to
run on a platform based on the speech
which he asserts may be termed "an
archistic," the progressives here are
more than anxious to give it to him.

ation, when such possession might
threaten the communication, or the

forth the policy of the United States,
as to points situated like Magdaleaa
Bay, in Lower California, that the

of the house were summarised tn re
ports submitted to that body one set
condemning the I'nited States steel
corporation as a gigantic monopoly in
restraint of trade, the other, although
accusing it of sharp practices, holding
that It is not a monopoly.
Three bills, outlining trust curbs,
were presented with the report. One

man law to place the burden of proof
upon defendant corporations charged
with restraint of trade. Control of
30 per cent of any business Is made

Port na
Substantial Increase of the duty on
mohair over the rates carried by tbe
Underwood bill, when it was sent to
the senate, is assured by agreement of
the conferees on tbe wool tariff bill.
Tbe effect of the compromise rates
on the wool Industry ts not 'so clear,
but It appears that mohair baa been
given a relatively higher duty than
wool, as both bave been placed on the
same ad valorem rate and the shrink-
sge of wool is many times greater
than mohair.
Congress May Adjourn August 17.
Adjournment of tbe present session
of congress on August 17 was tbe date
tentatively set by leaders of both
bouses. Postponement of the Arch
bald Impeachment trial until Decem
ber 3 and the disposition exhibited
in the senate to hurry business along,
were taken as clearing the way for a
windup. -The house not only deferred
the trial, but adopted a compromise
on the steel tariff revision bill, which
Is certain to send the measure forth
with to the White House. The house
concurred in the conference on the
wool bill.

bill.
The senate adopted a resolution au
thorizing the war department to spend
(100,000 in transporting Mexican ref
ugees from El Paso to any point in

The committee of representatives
which took testimony against Feder

attle, recommended to the house judi
ciary committee that tbe impeachment
proceedings be dropped and that Pres
ident Taft accept the judge's resigna
tion. By a vote of 156 to 72 the house
passed the cotton tariff revision bill.
The measure reduces the duties on
cotton manufactures approximately
21 per cent, and ts identical with that

the ground that it was not based on
official information.

cific coast members that it would
largely Increase the oriental popula
tion of their cities, the house passed
the Seamen's bill. The measure which
has the approval of the unions, makes
mandatory the institution of a three
watch system for American ports,
abolishes imprisonment for deserters
and provides that two thirsVi of the
crew must understand thj language
