POOR SHOWING Few Tariff Measures Introduced fur Benefit or Public, Are Allowed to Bonnie Laws by G. O. 1. Wltli Tuft as Most Hitter Ouponent. Washington, Aug. 22. Three big measures made Into laws is about all the congress of the United States was able to show today after five months and six days of unceasing grind. They were the Canadian reciprocity agree ment, the bill for publicity of cam paign contributions before elections and the bill for the admission of Ari zona and New Mexico to statehood, after their original constitutions had been emasculated in the political mill. Another finished product turned out was the reapportionment bill fix ing the membership of the house at 433. ' Enthusiasm, nevertheless, is the portion of the democratic leaders who are filled with Joy on account of the campaign material they have fashioned from the happenings of the session. A great scheme of tariff revision, which democrats declared would cut down the tar. ft tax on the people has crumbled under the big heel of the president's veto. Reci procity was the only reusuii given by the president for convening the extra session on March 16. Ten (lein .cratic tariff bills, one re Vls.ng tile wool schedule, another placing meat and bread oil the free list, have been lost in the grind. Some more died aborning. Two of them, the wool bill and free list bill, wero vetoed und the democrats failed to pas them over the veto. lly combining with the insurgent republicans in the senatu the house democrats put their tariff bills through that body in some semblance of their original shape. But the combination blew up at the last mo ment und only the complaisance, of the standpat republicans allowed the passage of the cotton- bill, to which were attached revisions of iron and steel schctiuius. the chemical sched ule, the cotton machinery schedule as an amendment providing for l'reo coal from Canada. Tuft's declaration that he would sign no tariff bills until the tariff board reports on them put a damper on the demociats' ardor for tariff re vision. When adjournment was In order tile bill providing for the direct elec tion of senators was left in confer ence. The house passed it and the senate aim nded it and it is not a law yet WALLA WALLA VIOLATES GAltlE M Itecause he is .'iltcRed to hav shol upland game birds out of Season in this county and also because he Is al leged to have hunted In the county without having f'.rst secured nn Ore gon license, George Martetto, proprie tor of the Idb; Hour saloon in Walla!

However, he se cured evlaence, swore to the com plaints and directed Special Constable William McQueen of Milton to watch all trains from Walla Walla, as he was sure that Martette would make another trip over th border.

Premier Caillau. Jules Gambon, French ambassador to Germany, the French minister of war and other cab inet officials of France, today held a hurried conference. The conference is due, according to semi-official advices, to the fact that the negotiations that have been un der way In Berlin In an effort to reach an agreement, were suddenly broken off a few days ago, without a settlement of the differences between France and Germany having been ef fected. It is understood here that France is within the next day or two, to ad vise Germany what France is willing to concede, in the dispute, and that this communication will be the final effort of France to settle the matter peaceably. The situation is today regarded as extremely cloudy, and many believe that the matter will become more se rious than It did a few weeks ago, when war Vlouds gathered over the nations of southwestern Europe. Meanwhile, the French annual army maneuvers are under way and uhng changed lines, which it taken as sig nificant by knowing ones. SEATTLE CAR LINES TIED-OP Rainier .Valley People Defy!
