THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, POBTLA5D, JXTSE 190JK CONFLICT RAGES OH COTTON DUTY Aldrich Is Object of Fierce As sault From Dolliver, but Has Votes. WINS ON EVERY TEST MADE Jo wan Insists Autocrat Remain to Bo Roasted and Says He Has Lost Confidence Tillman Joins In Attack. WASHINGTON, Juno 6. After devoting the larger portion of the day to listening to a discussion of the cotton cloth schedule, the Senate entered upon a. period of voting late in the afternoon and rajiidly disposed of the entire sub ject of changing from ad valorem to spe cific duties for the purpose of prevent ing under-valuation. On all votes taken the finance committee was sustained by a majority of 10 or 11. Three votes were necessary to accomplish the result and others would have been necessary but for Hacon. who. seeing the futility of op rosing the committee, suggested the grouping of the votes after the first two ballots had been taken. This was unan imously agreed to, with the result that o much was accomplished that a night etion was not held. Dolliver Delivers Philippic. Iolliver occupied much of the time of the session with a speech. In which he made caustic criticism of the methods of. the finance committee. He declared that AUirich and Smoot, of that commit tee, were at variance in their estimates of the effect of the committee's action on the cotton schedule, the former con tending that there had been a change of only 10 per cent, while Smoot had placed the change at 30 per cent. Aldrich was, however, prompt In his correction of this statement, asserting that his use of the 10 per cent estimate applied to cotton Im portations affected by the bill and not to changes in duties. "Ilold liana of Buccaneers." The first vote of the day was on an amendment consolidating the paragraph relating to cheaper cloths, which was won by the usual majority, the vote standing 41 to SO. This result was so pro nounced as to lead Tillman to make the characteristic appeal to permit the tariff bill to come to a vote, because, as he de clared, there was no doubt as to what the final result would be. Incidentally he asserted that the members of the finance committee were the "boldest band of buccaneers that ever got together." Cummins Renews Attack. The latter part of the day's session was devoted to a discussion of the committee's change of the cotton rates from the ad valorem to the specitia basis. In this con nection Cummins attacked the commit tee's change as in the interest of higher duties, and when Aldrich explained that a small percentage of the Importation was affected by the substitution of - specific for ad valorem duties, the Iowa Senator responded that, however small the change, it should be made along the right lines. The votes on the change of system were then taken, after which the Senate, ad journed until Monday. CANINE COMMITS SUICIDE Stands Before Oncoming Train and Lets It Run Over Him.

" lllll 1 Li3 Ul LIIQ United Kingdom gave a banquet in honor of the 57 colonial delegates to the Imperial Press congress, which will open at the Foreign Office on Monday. Every sec tion of the British Isles sent a delegate. The colonial visitors will make a strong plea for the reduction of cable rates, and the laying of a government cable across the Atlantic, as suggested by Min ister Lemieux, Postmaster-General of Canada; thus linking the United King dom, Canada, Australia and New Zea land by an "all-red line." A movement will toe started for the establishment of an imperial press association, and the in terchange of news between the colo nies and England. Lord Burnham presided at tonight's banquet. Lord Rosebery delivered the speech or welcome. Referring to a forth coming visit of the delegates to the fleet at Spithead, where a naVal review will take place", he characterized' the present situation in Europe as ominous. There was an absence of questions which ordinarily might be expected to lead to war, he said, yet the threatening and overpowering preparations for war were unprecedented in history. He was confident of the power of England to meet any reasonable conjunction of powers, but when he saw this bursting out of navies he was uneasy about the outcome. Lord Rosebery asked the outcome, carry the message that responsibility rested on every man In the Empire .and to tell the colonists of the pressure on this little island.
