OF TURKISH CAPITAL TARIFF FIGHT WILL CENTER IH SENATE A Suit That CHOLERA RAVAGED Suits Six Senators From Wool Grow ing States May Be Able to Force Compromise. LEADERS' PLANS NEBULOUS Whether Radical Reductions W ilt Be Attempted Depends Somewhat on Aid 'Progressives" Ma j Bo Willing to Give. BY HARRY J. BROWN. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washing-ton. Nov. 17. Assurance that there will be an extra session of Congress to revise the tariff having stirred Demo cratic Leader Underwood to arrange for sessions of the ways and means committee beginning- early in January. It is assured that the committee will have a good lead on Congress, and by the time the special session convenes ie will be able to report live or six schedules and report others as fast as the Senate can dispose of them. There may be some slight changes in the wool, steel, sugar and chemical bills, as compared to the bills passed by the House last session, but the opinion is general that those four measures, as passed by the next House, will be sub stantially the bills which received the Democratic stamp of approval In the present House of Representatives. Senate Will Be Obstacle. The, stumbling-block In the way of Democratic tariff revision is going to be met where the Republicans have always had their trouble in the Senate and the narrow margin by which the Democrats will control that body, con sidered with the fact that there are several protectionist Democratic Sena tors, is going to make it embarrass ing for the Administration on those schedules which affect Southern indus tries. For instance. Oregon, Montana ana Colorado, all big woolgrowing states, will be represented bv two Democratic Senators each, and it la assumed that those Senators will not be willing to vote for a reduction in the duty on wool which they believe will harm the wool industry of their respective states. They may consent to a certain reduc tion in the present duties, and they may advocate a readjustment of the wool schedule so as to divide more evenly the burden as between the woOl grower and the woolen manufacturer. ' When it comes to a sweeping reduction in the duty on wool, it is expected they will take issue with low-tariff Demo crats, and if all six of the Democratic Senators combine, they can force a compromise on the wool schedule as suming they regard the proposed re duction as too severe. ' Democrats Expect Aid. The flght over the Payne-Aldrich law disclosed the fact that several Demo cratic Senators (some of them still in office) were radically opposed to free lumber, and stood ready to vote with most of the Republicans to retain a substantial duty on that product. There are also Democraic protectionists In the Senate when it comes to sugar, and so It goes down the list The Democratic majority of the Senate will not be able to agree on radical reductions of the tariff at least not on all schedules and it remains to be seen whether the Democratic leaders will undertake radi cal reductions, counting on the aid of such Senators as Poindexter, Clapp. Bristow and Norris. who are more Dem ocrats than anything else when it comes to voting, or whether they will be willing to compromise and put through moderate reductions by a purely Democratic majority vote. There is no doubt that the four Pro gressive Senators named would vote for reductions about as low as any Democratic Senator might propose, and the four named can be safely counted upon as Democratic allies in the tariff fight, if the party leaders determine to force through bills making heavy re ductions in the tariff. To a certain ex tent the Democrats can count upon the votes of Senator Cummins, of Iowa, and Senator Da Follette, of .Wisconsin, though these two Senators are really protectionists, though not believers in as great protection as is afforded by the present law. Unlike the four "Pro gressives," however, Cummins and La Follette are in, no sense free-traders. Tariff Vetoea Wholly Unlikely. As for President Wilson, he probably will sign whatever tariff bills are sent to him by Congress. There will not " likely be tariff vetoes during the next Administration. In the first place, whatever tariff bills are sent to the White House will of necessity bear the stamp of approval of the Democratic House of Representatives, - as well as the approval of most If not all the ! Democrats of the Senate. Having been elected on a platform promising down ward revision, it is hardly to be expect ed that Mr. Wilson would refuse to sign bills which had the approval of the great bulk of .Democrats In Con gress. The only ground upon which he might base a veto would be the fact that radical reductions had been forced by a combination of Democratic and Bull Moose Senators, the House being compelled to yield against the Judg ment of its majority, and there is little ' prospect that anything of this sort will happen. Therefore, it is a reasonably safe pre ' diction that as fast as the new Con : press, in special session, passes bills re vising the tariff, those bills will re ceive the Presidential approval and be come law. It will take the whole Sum mer, and probably" most of the Fall to clear up the slate. MAXY FAVOR GENERAL- BIIX Others Would Combine Only Those Measures Vetoed by Taft. WASHINGTON. Nov. 17. The" form that tariff revision is to take before the special session of Congress next Spring has become a matter of strong Individual opinion among Democratic Senators and Representatives now here. - Representative Underwood has given . no Indication as to his own plans, and It is expected that other prominent , Democratis will confer at length over , the situation before advising President elect Wilson of the tentative arrange . merits. Many members now favor a general ' bill covering many or all of the sched . ules of the tariff law, to- be framed as a partial or complete substitute for the Payne-Aldrich law. Those who ad vance this plan claim it would be the , speediest way of fulfilling tariff . pledges. Others favor combining in a ' single bill those measures passed dur ing the last two years but vetoed by I'resident Taft. and the preparation of other single schedule bills to follow this measure. Unless the plan to revise the entire tariff law in a single bill is adopted, it is believed Democratic leaders will urge . the calling of the special session before April 15.

Prominent Workers In Recent Battle or Ballots Will Address Hap py AVinners Tonight. Oregon women tonight will hold a ratification. It will not be preceded by the old-time torchlight procession. A two-score-piece band will not pa rade the principal streets and. play stirring selections. The success at the polls of any candidate or group of can didates is not to be celebrated. In many other respects tonight's demon stration will differ from the customary political jollification. Instead it will be a gathering of suffragists at a banquet for the pur pose of celebrating appropriately the victory achieved by the women of the state in the recent election when they gained the right to the ballot. The banquet will be held at the Multnomah Hotel and will begin promptly at 7 o'clock. Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunlway, pioneer in the suffrage cause in this state, will attend and introduce Gov ernor West, who will preside as toast master. Some of the details of the banquet relating to the entertainment pro gramme will not be worked out until today. - Their nature is being closely guarded by the members of the com mittee on arrangements, which plans some surprises for. the celebrants to night. The list of speakers Includes men and women prominent in the suffrage movement from all sections of the state, and. each will be expected to confine his remarks to five minutes. The speakers will be Mrs. Henry Wal do Coe, who will make the Introduc tory address, to which E. Hofer, of Sa lem, will respond: John F.

Subsequently shells struck a magazine In the town and flames were seen to shoot up. After this successful bombardment 14 battalions of.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 17. There ape more than 1000 cases of cholera daily in . and around Constantinople, and the death rate has reached B0 per cent. The authorities are powerless to cope with the situation. ' On Thursday last 3UUU cnoiera pa tients arrived by train at San Stefano. They would have been brought here, but for the protest of the Austrian Am bassador, who asked that they be sent to the Lazarettos at Breos and Ismidt. For 24 hours the patients remained in the train on a siding at San Stefano without water, food, or medical atten tion. Then they were shipped to the quarantine station. If they had been lower animals. . they could not have been more neglected. Five Soldiers Found Dying. Yesterday a foreign doctor assisting in the military hospital discovered by accident that five soldiers dying of cholera had been placed among the wounded. He ordered their removal. Bearers took up the dying men on their shoulders, but their condition was such that the doctor ordered the bearers to drop them. This they did, and the unfortunates were left lying in the mud for an hour, groaning and in convulsions, before they were removed on stretchers. An extraordinary feature of condi tions behind the Turkish lines at Tcha talja is theMndlfference. The foreign er wearing either fez or an European hat may hire a vehicle and drive to the Turkish entrenchments and inspect the troops.
