PROGRESSIVES ARE BEATEN
Trn of Them Vote With Democrat
Persistently Daniel Causes Sur
prise by Proposing to
Increase Duty. '
WASHINGTON. May 3r.-The 5Vnate
di tril.uted its attention today anionic the
three Items in the tariff bill providing a
duty on an extract of chestnut bark uwd
,in tanning known as quebrache. on cot
tonseed oil and on white lead.' On each
of these articles the. 3enate was led by
the committee on finance. althousTh the.
committee was induced to charge Its
original suirgeetlons on both white lead
and cottonseed oil.
Aldricb Makes Concession.
The lead duty fixed, by the committee
was originally 2T cents -a pound, but
Curtis, a member of the, committee, mig
rated a reduction of cent a pound.
fcrlnRins; the flsure down to 2i cents and
Chairman AJdrich accepted the reduction.
When th vote was taken, the com
mittee triumphed. 41 to 32. As usual
Bmrld Brietow, Brown. Burkett.
Clapp. Cummins. Dolllver. Gamble. La
Kollette and Kelson voted with the
Democrats. Borah voted with the Re
publicans. Contest on Cottonseed OH.
- rrobally the most lnterestlnar contest
was over the duty on cottonseed oil.
Tillman. Bacon and Money fought the
ttenate provision fixing a tariff of 3 cents
a gallon, on the ground that tt would
injure the sale of cottonseed, and. after
the controversy had gone on for aome
time AJdrich withdrew the proWlon.
LaFollette sought to reduce the duty on
Quebrache to one-quarter of 1 cent a
pound, but his amendment was rejected.
29 to 38. DankJ led the fight for a higher
, rate, exciting much interest because of
; Jiis advocacy of low duties In the past.
He did not succeed and the duty was
i fixed at half a cent per pound Instead of
7 of a cent as lie proposed.
Aldricli's Retort to Tillman.
Tillman proffered some advice to Ald
" rich at the close of the day, after the
' finance committee's triumph on whits
Jead.
"We have." said Tillman. "Just spent
the best part of a day In a useless
wrangle resulting In the usual victory
for the astute manager In control of the
bill. I want to suggest that he might get
a. good many more votes if he would In
dorse the rule which forbids a Senator to
epeak. mors than twice on the same sub
ject." "I am surprised." said Aldrlch in reply,
"that I do not deserve the suggestion and
criticism of the Senator from South Caro
lina." Aldrich said that It was his Intention
at an early day to satisfy the Senator
from South Carolina by moving that the
tariff bill should be proceeded with
"mornlnc afternoon and night until dis
posed of." "

Southerner but Flerjr Texan.
ST. PAUL, ilay 3D Governor John A.
Johnson, when asked today If he had
read the statement made In the I'nlted
Stntes Senate yesterday by Senator
ituiley of Texas, criticising the Governor
for making alleged untruthful statements
in regard to the minority In the Senate in
its attitude toward the tariff bill, said:
"So far as Mr. Bailey is concerned I
do not care to make any denial of the
charges he makes, but I do care to have
other Senators In the South know I did
not make the statements that the rail
ways of the South influenced any of the
Southern ifenators. Nor did I make any
statements reflecting on any Senator
from the South or any other section."
French Imports Increase.
WASHINGTON. May 10. An Increase
of Aiy per cent In the amount of the Im
ports Into the I'nlted States from France
during the months of February and March
is announced by the Bureau of Statistics.
According to the deduction of the Bureau
of Statistics, this large In.-rease. n the
Importation from France is due in part to
a reported Increase In rates of duty In
certain classes of articles coming from
that country, especially luxuries.

matter ot setting up a government of
their own. They appointed selectmen,

for liberty but the ability to govern
and a thorough knowledge of the sub

the culmination of a three days' cele

body of colonists met at Mecklenburg,
near Charlotte, and. resolving them

declared they drew up a declaration
of independence. Unfortunately for the
discussion which has followed. the
original copy of the Mecklenburg dec
laration wad said to have been lust tn
a fire which destroyed the home of
John McKuItt Alexander in whose
keeping it was. Among Alexander's
papers, however. It l related that a
copy of the original, signed by him as
