Legislative Plans.
Washington.—The program of anti­
trust and currency legislation that
faces congress for the ensuing 12
months has become fairly well out­
lined in the lau week. President Wil­
son and the democrat leaders In the
two houses of congress apparently
have agreed on an ambitious plan of
legislative work, which will bring all
of the most Important reforms con­
templated by the Wilson administra­
tion within the period between now
and the end of the next regular ses­
sion of congress.
The tariff bill will be out of the sen­
ate and in the hands of a conference
committee of the house and senate be­
fore the end of this week. Currency
legislation promises to dominate con­
gressional activity within a few days.
Anti trust legislation will be up soon.
The influence of republicans as well
as democrats, who long have been ac­
tive in the fight for more adequate
regulation of the trusts, will be felt
in the making of these reforms.

The senate has finally passed the
democratic tariff bill.
Democratic lines in the senate
stood solidly against the final on­
slaught of the tariff fight. With par­
ty leaders urging their colleagues on
to approval of the bill, the ranks
closed up against the anti-free wool
and anti-free sugar forces and defeat­
ed all amendments to the bill as fast
as they came to the vote.
Attempts to restore a duty on raw
wool and to raise the duty on woolen
manufactured goods made in succes­
sive amendments by Senators LaFol-
lette, Catron and Penrose were de­
feated without the loss of a party
vote.
Among the amendments defeated
was that of Senator Norris for a
heavy tax on inheritances. This was
beaten 58 to 12, the following republi­
cans joining the democrats in voting
against it: Senators Brandegee, Ca­
tron, Clark, of Wyoming; Colt, Fail,
Gallingcr, Jackson, Lippitt, Lodge,
Oliver, Penrose, Perkins, Root, Sher­
man and Sutherland.
Two attempts by Senator La Fol-
lette to secure the adoption of substi­
tutes for the democratic wool tariff
failed by strict party votes.
Much rioting occurred at Dublin,
Ireland, in connection with the tram­
way strike.
Thirteen persons were prostrated by
the heat in Minneapolis last Satur­
day. The thermometer registered 95
degrees.
Dispatches received from Nanking
report that the northern armies com­
pletely sacked that city. The looting
and other excesses lasted three days.
Reports from Stuttgart, Germany,
say that 13 persons were killed and 11
others injured, five perhaps fatally,
when a demented school teacher nam­
ed Wagner ran amuck in two German
villages.
The championship of the world with
the free rifle which goes to the win­
ner of the international unions 300
meter five man match, was won by
Switzerland at Camp Perry, Ohio.
Violent popular anger is expressed
against China in Tokio because of the
killing of four Japanese by rioting
troops of the Chinese government at
Nankin. The Tokio press discusses
the affair with much bitterness, and
the Japanese foreign office has pro­
tested vigorously to the Pekin govern­
ment.

With a view to making it "as easy
as possible for honest entrymen to
gain homesteads and as difficult as
possible for speculators," Acting Sec-
retary of the Interior Jones published
a new list of homestead regulations.
The principal concession to home­
steaders is a reduction in the number
of acres each is required to cultivate
under such circumstances as the
homesteader's illness or of exception­
al difficulties in the way of cultiva­
tion.
No reduction in cultivation area is
permitted, however, on account of the
removal of standing timber—a blow at
timber speculators.
