WIND LASHES SALT LAKE.
Two
Pleasure Launches Imperilled,
but Reach Shoro Safely.
Salt Lake, July G. A wind storm
swept over Great Salt lake last even
ing, dashed the heavy water in huge
broadsides against tho Saltnir pavilion
and threatened tho oxistenco of two
small pleasure boats cruising off shore.
After a struggle with tho wind and
tho waves in which tho voyagers were
drenched with salt water, tho launches
regained the pavilion.
In making; a landing, ono of tbe
boats was dashed against tho ' pier and
badly damaged. No one, however, was
injured. Tho gale, though of brief
duration, was one of the most violent
n tho history of tho lako. Rumors
that ono of tho boats had gone down
with GO passengers reached hero and
thcro was great anxiety until the out
come was known.
Ship Fruit by Auto Now.
London, July G. An experiment
which is being watched with much in

Hawaiian Planters' association. Other
parties nro being recruited in various
parts of tho islands and will loavo for

WaBhlneton. July 9. During a ses
alon lnntlhcr nearlv four hours, tho sen
nto today passed tho Philippine tariff
bill, and the bill automatically contin
uing tho Porto Itican budget. Only a
nominal resistance was offered by the
minority to tho measure An amend
mont to tho Philippine bill by John
ston. of Alabama, declaring tho inten
tion of the United States oventually to
grant independence to tho Philippines,
was rejected.
Washington, July 9. Tho tariff bjl
is now in tho hands of tho conference
committee1. After an hour and a half
of debate tho house today, by a voto of
178 to 151. disagreed to tho senate
amendments. Eighteen Republicans
voted acrainst sendinc tho bill to con
ference, and ono Democrat voted with
the Republican majority.
Washington. July 9. Tho house and
senate conferees on the tariff bill this
afternoon mapped out the program for
tho many sessions they must hold, to
make tho final draft of tho measuie
An agreement may bo reached in 10
days, thoucrh the house conferees arc
expected bitterly to contest many of tho
senate amendments.
Senator Aldrich and Representative
Payne arc fearful lest the final action
on tho conference report in tho two

ing made to have President Taft tako
part in the threatened controversy.
Thursday, July 8.
Washington, July 8. The tariff bill
passed tho senate just after 11 o'clock
torfight by a voto of 45 to 34. Ten
Republicans voted with the Democrats
against the bill and ono Democrat vot
ed for the bill.
As it passed the senate, the bill con
tains almost 400 paragraphs. Tho
senate mado 840 amendments to the
house bill, many of which were added
today. Consequently the enrolling
clerks oro finding tho preparation of
tho bill for tho house an arduous task.
They hayo been following as closely
upon the heels of tho Benate as was
possible, and have tho work well in
hand, but say they probably will not be
able to complete their labors before
late tomorrow.
There will bo no delay in sending
the tariff bill to conference after it
reaches the house. It is expected that
the bill wiil be sent to that body by the
senate la to tomorrow. Tho house will
met daily from now until tho end of
the session.
As soon as tho bill is received, Dal
ffell is expected to offer a resolution by
which tho house will disagree to the
senate amendments en bloc and agree
to a conference.

PROCEEDINGS I CONGRESS IN BRIEF
Wednesday, July 7.
Washington, jmy 7. with a gene
ral understanding that the final vote
on tho tariff bill should be taken by 4
o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the senate
adjourned at 7 o'clock thin evening.
The arrangement for a voto tomorrow
was arrived at as an alternative for a
.session tonight. Tho income tax ques
tion, including tho corporation tax
provision and inheritance tax, received
much attention in the senate today
and the Straight income advocates were
afforded the opportunity to cet a vote
in favor of the income tax as opposed
to the corporation tax. Tho income
tax was defeated by 48 to 7 and with
the corporation tax provision securely
established as a part of the bill, there
was considerable effort to amend it.
Tuesday. July 6.
Washington, July 6. The Republi
can majority of the senate finance com
mittee today stirred up a hornets' nest
by reporting tho new schedule, of to
bacco taxes as having been recom
mended when it had not even been, sub
mitted to tho minority members, much
less laid beforo a meeting of tho whole
committeo. Aldrich was forced to
back water and recognize tho rights of
tho minority. ,, ,
Aldrich said that he would call a
mooting of tho finance committeo for
tomorrow morning, giving the minor-
ty members a chanco to express their
opinion.
All sections of tbe bill that senators
do not desiro to reserve for' furthnr
amendment' will now" be agreed to en
bloc. Tho senate then will consider
the tobacco amendment, tho only
amendment not adopted . in committee
of tho "whole. , .

vote tho senate today adopted the redo-
ution submitting to tho Btateiecisln-
turoB thoMncomo tax amendment to tho
Fedoral copstitution. Then it devoted
Itfl attention to tho administrative
features of tho tariff bill and adouted
them. Tho tobacco schodulo will be
enslored tomorrow 'with' a" ,f other
uncompleted details and then tho bill
will bo reported from commlttntn of

Saturday, July 3.
Waahlntrttm. Julv 3. Senator Aid
rich achieved another sweeping victory
this afternoon when, by a vote of moro
than 2 to I, tho maximum ana mini
mum feature of tho senate tariff bil
was naased. This goea into effect on
March 1, 1910. It empowers tho pres
ident to add 25 per cent ad valorem to
all existing schedules, whether on tho
freo list or dutiable, to those countries
diocrlminating against tho United
States.
In other words, where foreign na
tions are disposed to accept trade with
America on the basis of the 'adminis
trative tariff bill, Boon to bo enacted,
tho statute will not be elastic, but wil
stand as passed. But where nations
prohibit, by excessive taxes, goods pro
duced in this country, tho president
may retaliate by tho simple issuance
of a nroelamation addinc 25 per cent
advalorem tn everything coming into
American ports from such restrictive
nations.
Tho bill aims particularly at France.
The French people, as well as tho Ger
mans, but tbe latter to a less obnoxious
extent, fearful of tho progress of tho
American manufacturer, have been
raising item after item, bo it was ex
plained today, until now American
goods are almost prohibited from enter
intr French and German territories.
There remain 17 other administrative
features of the tariff bill to dispose of
before it goes to the house. The report
is tonight that tbe senate will- have
each of them out of the wsy by Thurs
day, and that on Monday, July 12, the
lower branch of congress will begin tbe
consideration of tbe measure.

creases in the internal revenue taxes
on all forms of manufactured' tobacco
have brought a veritable hornots' nest
about tho heads of the senate commit
teo on finance. An estimate of the
increased revenues that would be pro
duced was received, by the senate com
mittee today. If no decrease in con
sumption ia occasioned by the proposed
increase, n would raise about ?20,000,
000 more than now collected.

BODIES IN RUINS.
Work Suspended at Messina on Ac
count of Hot Weather.
Rome, July 5. Thousands of bodies
of the victims of the December earth-
auake that devastated Messina are
still in the ruins of that city and will
not be dug out to receive burial until
winter. In an effort to convince King
Victor that it is doing every possible
thing toward the ends desired in Mes
sina, the interior department today
submitted its first comprehensive re
port. It is understood tonight that the
king, though not doubting the honesty
of the officials, was angry that there
had been so much delay, and bad de
manded speedier work.
In reply to tbe accusation that no
excavation bad been made in the ruins,
the Interior department declares it has
been found necessary to suspend all
work of this nature during the warm
weather. Up to that time 30,000 bod
ies had been recovered. An average
of 300 bodies were removed .daily in
April and 900 bodies were awaiting
burial lor lack of grave diggers.
GOLD ORE AS BALLAST,
Santa Fe Road Bed Rich in Precious
Metal.
Chicago. July 5. Officials of the
Santa Fe road are inclined to believe
that through the accidental discovery
of cold and Conner in tho hallaqt tiapH
on the Belen cut-off a new rich mining
district will be develoned in the Man-
zano mountains in Torrance county.
New Mexico. .
A fact that adds romantic interest
to the gold discovery ia that the region
18 adjacent to tno deserted city, which
is aupnoseti to have been Snanish and
which is known as Rran Ouivnrn.
There are legendary stories of old Span-
isn mines wnicn are supposed to have
been productive hundreds of years ago,
but which were abandoned. Now that
gold has been discovered in the region
tnese stories are being revived and
manv are flookiner into tho mnnntnina
and are.Btaking out claims every where.
ino discovery of gold is Iarcelv due
to one or tne engineers of the com
pany, who ia located at the general
offices in Chicago. Not along ago this
engineer waa walking track between
Belen and Willnrd and while in n deep
cut he nicked un a chunk- of hniinat
which had a chemical Btain upon it.
The stone was brought to Chicago, and
it was found to be highly infused with
gold. Some of the ballast: toTiiVTi nna
being" used on tho Bolen cutoff wa3 then
Bent ior and waa round to assay about
?3 worth of gold to the ton.

DEATH LIST CUT.
Annual Patriotic Carnage is Greatly
Reduced.
Chicago, July 6. With three days'
celebration of the nation's birthday
this year, the remarkable fact Btands
out boldly that the annual carnage baa
been decreased to a great degree. Ad
vices from all points up to midnight
show that in all large cities new rules
and their strict enforcement have
checked the customary slaughter of
children.
In New York there were but four
deaths for the three days. In Chicago,
usually drenched with blood under the
guise of patriotism, there was not &
