Wednesday, August 4.
Washington, Aug. 4. As though
protesting againBt being called out to a
night session, senntors were very tardy
in their attendance upon the meeting
of tho senate tonight. Naarly an hour
passed after the appointed timo boforo
quorum could be assembled. It
was imauy oDiainca arier an orucr nau
been issued to tho Bcrcrcant-nt-armn to
bring in tho absentees. For over an
hour the senate employes had been tel
ephoning to tho homes of senators, and
were told that the telephone had been
temporarily detached.
A number of tho sonators spoke on
tho tar ill measuro wben a quorum was
finally assembled. Simmons, of North
Carolina, declared rates wore higher
on goods used by tho common people
than by the rich. Boveridge insisted
that tho next tariff measure Bhould bo
drawn up by a commission.
Tuesday. August 3.
Washington, Aug. 3. The complete
collapse of all important opposition to
tho conference report on tho tariff bill
was evidenced today when the senate
agreed to vote on that measure at 2
o'clock next Thursday. Half an hour
after unanimous consent had been
given for that courso a disinclination
on the part of Eonators to speak
brought an early adjournment until
noon tomorrow.
Tho lack of interest in tho proceed-
ngs was evident. This was caused by
an agreement of Western senators to
vote for the conference roport and to
correct tho hido and leather schedule
by means of a concurrent resolution to
bo acted upon separately. Tho form
of the concurrent resolution was agreed
upon at an informal conference in
Aldrich's com mi tee room. Instruc
tions are given by this resolution to
the enrolling clerks of the senate and
house to change the language of the
provision reducing duties on boots and
shoos and harness.
Colored Government Employe Was
Davis' Bodyguard.
Washington, 'Aug. 6. James H.
Jones, a colored employe of the senate
stationery room, is ill at his homo in
this city, and his friends fear he will
die. Jones was Jefferson Davis' color
ed bodyguard and valet, and is tho only
living being who knows where the
great soal of tho Confederacy is hid
den. Ho declares ho will dio with tho
secret.
Jones hid the seal himself under in
structions from DaviB at the timo
Richmond was ovacuated nnd prom
ised Davis when he was on his death
bed that ho would never divulgo the
hiding place.
He positively denies that tho seal
was thrown into the James river, as
ono story declares. Ho Bays he couia
put his hand on the seal today, but he
never will. The negro has been offered
largo sums of money for the seal by
various Confederate soceities, etc.j "but
always refused.
Jones has been in the government
employ for about 20 years. Ho was
originally appointed a laborer in the
senate stationery room by Secretary of
tbo Senate Cox. He made good, and
is well known and liked by members of
the senate and ofllcials.

O finals of the line havo not roaao a
otfitflmont as to responsibility for tbo
wreck. It is said the eastbound tram
did not tako a sidetrack as it had been
ordered. It is incomprehensible why
the motormen did not avoid the col-
Hninn. An thn accident occurred on a
straight track. The motorman of the
westbound train is among the dead.
Both trains wore running at a high
speed, especially the westbound train,
and wore presumably beyond control.
The wrecked cars were ground to
gether in ono confused mass. The in
juries are of all kinds. Legs and arms
are broken and heads and bodies are1
crushed. Bruises and scratches from
splintered wood and broken glass aro
numerous, and internal hurts,' which it
is feared will swell the list of fatalities,
were inflicctcd.
Tbo first car of tho train, the srnok
er. was so smashed that nothing but
the trucks remained. It was crowded
with men and scarcely one of them es
caped alive and uninjured.
This is the first serious wreck in the
history of tho road. The track was
cleared in about an hour and a half.

Washington, Aug. 2. Tariff legis
lation has been delayed again by the
hide and leather question, and the con
ferees wero called together once more
today. Western senators will compel
further changes in tho hides and
leather echedute. These senators com
plain that tho leather schedule as ar
ranged by tho conferees with tho ap
proval of the president, is unfair to
tho states interested in protected
hides. It was agreed that some action
must be taken to conciliate them if
the conference report is to bo adopted.
Saturday, July 31
Washington, July 31. The house to
night adopted tho conference report on
tho tariff bill, 195 to 183. Twenty
Republicans voted against tho report
and two Democrats for it.
Payne appoaled to his Republican
colleagues to stand by tho bill, saying
that if they wanted to drive their
party into chaos they would vote
against it. But ho said it would be a
delusion to vote ngainat tho bill upon
tho idea that tho Dingley rates would
be continued.
"Wo havo roviscd tho tariff nnd
havo taken off unnecessary duties,"
said Payno. "Not all along the lino
generally, but in our revision of tho
tariff bo havo revised the tariff down
ward and yot wo havo hold tho scales
so evenly that wo have dona no injury
to any person or any industry in the
Unitod States.
"Thoso ratos increaso tho rovenue

Tho corporation tax is estimated to

period of existence has provided ample
rovenuo, and thoro is no doubt this law
will do the Bamo for another 12yoars."
Washington, July 31. Aftor throe

Special Session Scheduled.
Washington, Aug. 7. The adminis
tration and tho leaders in congress are
considering a plan for a special session
of congress to bo held in October,
1910, to consider tho report of the na
tional monetary commission. It has
been decided not to attempt to present
the report of the commission at the
next regular session, which will begin
December 1. It is realized that the
subject will demand extended debate
and there is a strong belief that it
would bo best to consider it at a ses
sion called especially for that purpose.
New Lincoln Cent Ready.
Washington, Aug. 3. Distribution
of tho new cents, which bear the bead
of Lincoln instead of that of the Indian
wmcn nas ornamented them lor so
many years, has begun. The Philadel
phia mint has a total of over 30,000,'

which to supply the orders that are
coming in from banks throughout the
country. There aro 1,650,000,000 pen
nies of the old style in circulation.

many years before the Lincoln coin

head.
Old Landmark to Go.
Washington, Aug. 3. The district
commissioners today received bidB on
the contract to tear down the Anocoa-
tia bridge, which is one of the historic
landmarks of the national capital. It
was over this bridge that John Wilkes
booth sped his horso to escape from
the city the night he shot Lincoln.
The old bridge has been rpplaced by a
handsome now structure, connecting
wasnmcton proper with tho suburb of
Anacostia.
Repeated Shocks in Mexico Add to
Earthquake Damage.
City of Mexico, -Aug. 2. With the
people absolutely frightened and trem
bling in terror from their awful exper
ience in Friday's earthquake shocks,
five distinct shocks were ielt again
Saturday, and the damage Friday is
light compared with the damage Satur
day.
All communication was cut off from
Chilpancingo, Acapulco and surround
ing towns by the quakes, after it was
restored following Friday's shocks, but
information of the serious nature of
the shocks came through before the
wires went down. In every instance
the frightened operators at the keys in
the stricken towns, talking to the
equally frightened operators in tho
capital, declared "the town is com
pletely, wrecked," ortwords to that
effect.
The operator at Chilpancingo, capital
of the state of Guerrero, reported that
the palace of Governor Damien Fiores,
which bad been partially.wrecked, com
pletely tumbled down, but that the
family had left its crumbling walls.
xnc snocics nere were more severe
than the-former ones were, and not an
American ana due xew ioreignera re
mained indoors. The parks and plazas
are crowded to overflowing and many
people are in actual want of food.
OSAKA IN RUINS.
Safety Device Ordered.
Washington, Aug. 4. All American
stenmship companies were directed to

independent waterfeeds by October 31
next in a decision of Assistant Secre-
tary McHarg, of tho Department of
Commerce and Labor. If at tho timo
indicated all such vessels are not so
equipped, tho companies affected will
have their licenses revoked. It
pointed out that this will 'reduce to
minimum tho danger of explosions.

Osaka, Japan, Aug. 2. At 6 o'clock

The firemen who had been ficrhtincr

troops were called out to assist in tho
lire righting and to preserve order in
the city.
ine exact amount of damaira dnna

today. Mr. Bellinger yesterday held a
preliminary conference with these offi
cials, at which were present tho super
vising engineer of the six divisions into
which the entire reclamation field is
divided. There Ib to bo apportioned for
these projects about $11,000,000, but
the demands for funds aggregate an
amount fully double that available.
Tho conference, which was an execu
tive one, was held in the Offices of the
reclamation service in the Beck build-
iner. There were present all of tho di
recting and supervising officials of the
service. In addition to Mr. Bellinger
they were: F. H. Newel, director; A.
P. Davis, chief engineer; O. H. En
sign, chief electrical engineer; D. C.
Henny. consulting engineer, and the
following supervising engineers: F. E.
Weymouth, Idaho division ; J. W. c-
Connell, Central division; H. N. Sav
age, Northern division; C. H. Swigart,
Washington division; L. C. Hill,
Southern division, and E. G. Hopson,.
Pacific division.
"Today's conference was only pre
liminary and there is nothing definite
to announce regarding the probable ap
portionment of the reclamation fund,
for the reason that final conclusions
were not reached," said Mr. Ballinger
last night. "The various supervising:
engineers presented their demands
for funds with which to carry on the
work undertaken by the government,
during the ensuing year. These re
quests will be considered further at an
other conference which will be held to
morrow. It will not be until after to
morrow's hearing that I will be able
even roughly to determine how the
funds for this work shall be expended.
"From, the fact that the demands foe
money far exceed the amount of funds
that will be available, I find it will be
a difficult job to decide on any appor
tionment that will satisfy all. Oregon
has not been receiving its share of the
proceeds from the Bale of public lands
within its borders, as contemplated un
der the reclamation act. To see this
state next year receive more nearly
its share of this fund is another prob
lem with which I am confronted, espe
cially in view of the increased demands
coming in from other sections of the
reclamation field.".
