today to talk with the President on
political economic matters in con

and make provision in the tariff for
the free entry into the United
States of sugar arid tobacco from
the Philippines. He advocated a re
duction in the Philippine tariff so as
to permit the entry into the islands

desire free trade between the islands
and the United States only in to

SACRAMENTO, Ca!., Oct. 23.-
It became known today that every
express train from Oregon to Cali
fornia since last Saturday night has
been guarded by an extra corps of
railroad police and Wells Fargo
guards, armed with sawed-o'ff shot
guns.
Although the information has been
carefully guarded by the officials of
the Southern Pacific railroad warn
ing was received last Saturday in
private dispatches from Red Bluff
that an attempt would be made to
hold up No. 14, the Oregon Express
north-bound, at a point near Ager,
in Siskiqou county, just south of the
Oregon line. I The railroad officials
acted on the warning and stationed
extra guards on the train. Special
Agent Horgan distributed the armed
men on the train and was prepared
for an attack, but nothing developed.
It is not known whether the infor
mation was false or not, but it is in
timated by the railroad people that
guards have been on trains every
night since then.

to the unusual course of temporarily
closing the strangers and ladies' gal
leries in the house of commons.
During the evening while the
house was diseasing the licensing

display of a placard ar;d sudden
cries from the ladies' gi'lcry de
manding suffrage. Simultaneously a
bundle of hand bills Muttered down
from the strangers' gallery and a
man shouted, "Justice to women."
The male offender was unceremon

gallery sounds of a desperate strug

had chained themselves "firmly to
the grilling and resisted for a time
all efforts at removal. The scene
was watched with amazement from
the floor, but finally the suffragettes
were dragged loose, portions of the
grill being removed with them. Ten
minutes later there was anothr dra

gallery threw another bundle of biils
down upon the house shouting!
"Why don't you give women votes
and relieve the unemployed?"
Attendants rushed upon him, but
it required a fierce struggle to eject
him. About the same time a large
crowd of suffragettes made a demon
