Saturday, July 17.
Washington, July 17.— Tha tariff
confervas today settled tha question o f
g iv in g the secretary o f tha treasury
authority to Issue 60-year 3 per cant
bonds to cover tha entire coat o f tha
Panama canal. The affect o f tha bond
provision is to repeal the lim it o f the
bond authorisation o f tha Spooner act,
although not interfering with
per
cent bonds issued under.tbat authority
to the amount o f $84,631,980. The
estimated cost o f the canal is $376,-
201,000,. which w ill be the figure
named in the new authorisation, and
bonds may be issued as they are needed
at the rata o f 8 per cent to the extent
o f $290,669,020.
There la no doubt that a 1 per cent

Practically the only subject consid­
ered during the forenoon session o f the
conference was the woolen schedule.
A reduction o f 6 par cent was made in
the Dingley rates on women's and
children's dress goods made o f cotton
warp.
Three changes in the wool
schedule were agreed upon. A ll o f
these were reductions, the lower duty
on women's and children's dress goods
being made on woolen fabrics weigh­
ing four ounces or over to the square
yard and woven into cootton wark.
A
reduction o f 26 per cent was also made
-on yarns valued at 20 cents a pound or
leas.

«Washington, July 12.— By the decis­
ive vote o f 817 to 14, more than the
necessary two-thirds, the heme today
passed tbs senate joint resolution pro­
viding fo r the submission o f an income
tax constitutional amendment to the
states.
The negative votes were all
east by Republicans. Tbs resolution
now goes to the president for his sig­
nature.
The debate lasted four hours. Chair­
man Payne, o f the committee on ways
and means, voiced the sentiment that
such a tax would make “ a nation o f
lia rs ." The burden o f the Democratic
speeches was that it was simply a case
o f stealing Democratic thunder, al­
though some o f the remarks on that
side incidentally touched upon tariff
and the corporation tax, with no little
amount o f castigation o f the Republi­
cans for fa ilin g to keep party pledges.

Washington, July 16.— The make-up
o f the committee on conference that is
now handling the tariff bill, endeavor­
ing to compromise the differences be­
tween the bouse and senate bills, is not
such as to inspire confidence in tha
hearts o f tboee senators and represent­
atives who favor the senate duty on
rough lumber, $1.60 per 1,000 feet. I t
may be that that rate w ill be re­
tained, but there is only one Republi­
can on the conference committee who
is directly interested in the lumber
schedule, and that man is handicapped
because he is a big lumberman.
O f the senate conferees, not one has
any direct interest in the tariff on lum­
ber. Aldrich, Rhode Island ; Burrows,
Michigan;
Penrose,
Pennsylvania;
Hale, Maine, and Cullom, Illinois, rep­
resent states that care fa r more about
cheap lumber than they do about high
protection fo r the American lumber­
man. A fe w years ago Burrows might
have been somewhat concerned, but
now his interest is secondary. On the
house side, Payne, N ew Y o rk ; Dulsell,
Pennsylvania; McCall, Massachusetts;
Boutell, Illinois; Calderhead, Kansas,
and Fordney, Michigan, are the confer­
ees, and Fordney is the only enthusias­
tic advocate o f a high tariff on lumber,
for he owns fabulous quantities o f
timber land and operates a numb it o f
lumber mills.
I t w ill be the contention o f the
house members that the duty on rough
lumber must be reduced $1, the rate
fixed by the house in the Payne bill.
They w ill insist that the house w ill not
stand fo r $1,60, and w ill point to ths
fact that it was only by a narrow mar­
gin that the house rejected a free lum­
ber amendmenL

FOR
Seoul, July 16.— The news o f the
new agreement between Japan and
Corea arranging for the transfer o f
Corean judicial authority to Japan, is
being quietly accepted here, now that
its terms are fully understood.
I t was feared that some disturbance
might follow the public misapprehen­
sion that the disbanding o f the court
guards was included in the abolition o f
tee Corean war office. Now that it is
known generally that the guards are
not to be discharged, but merely Tire
to be placed under the command o f the
emperor’ s aide-de-camp, the cause fo r
uneasiness has been removed.
I t is believed that the convention be­
tween the two countries relative to the
transfer was signed July 12. The pro­
visions o f the document, besides the
changes mentioned, look to the control
o f Corean prisons by the Japanese.

W as It a Miracle?
message was from the operator
at Bartaon, and in plain English meant
that the engine known as tbe Old Tar­
tar bad .by some means or other start­
ed off without any one on board, and
was headed In this direction. To ditch
an engine is to open a switch, thus
allowing it to run on to a siding where
It at last leaves the track and prob­
ably goes over on ita aide. O f course
the engine is badly smashed If not com­
pletely ruined, but It la the only aafe
conree to adopt.
“ There waa but one aiding suitable
for the purpose, the others having more
or lees cara on them. The «witch was
about a hundred yards down the track
In the direction of Bartaon.
“ It was evident to me that tbe Old
Tartar must have passed Bartaon when
they ’ commenced calling me, and as
wild engines generally travel pretty
fast, I foresaw that 1 had not any too
much time in which to carry out my
instructions.
“ I w ill mention one more fact; an
accommodation train waa doe from tbe
East Inside o f half an boar.
“Yon may believe I did not lose much
time In leaving tha depot and beading
for tbe switch. I luid no^ taken half
a dozen steps when I heard a dull roar
o f bat momentary duration. That told
me as well aa words could that tha Old
Tartar had crossed Mod River bridge,
less than quarter o f a mils away.
“ I can get over the ground at a fair
rate o f speed when necessary, and I
considered that one o f tbe occasions.
I had traveled considerably more than
half o f the distance when, glancing up,
I aaw the Old Tartar shoot around tbe
curve at the top o f tbe grade which
ends at this station. It waa a race
between myself and that engine, with
the switch as the objective point
“ Apparently I waa sure o f winning,
bat I realized that I bad no time to
spare.
“ I had nearly reached the switch
when I stumbled and fell. Not mote
than five seconds were lost yet I tail­
ed. I waa In the act o f scrambling to
my feet when the Old Tartar rushed
past me like a whirlwind. I realized
that I had missed her, but I did not
bemoan my luck. There waa not time
for th at aa the operator at Dawson
must be warned immediately.
“ I rushed back to the station and
called him np. He responded Immedi­
ately, and I forwarded to him tbe mes­
sage I bad received but a moment be­
fore. Back came the reply:
“ T o ó la te ; the accommodation left
fire minutes ago.’
“ Perhaps you can Imagine what my
feelings were when I received that an­
swer! A collision which would surely
result In the loss o f life seemed Inevit­
able ; nothing short of a miracle conld
avert It. I blamed myself for the
whole thing. I f I had answered the
call Immediately. I should have suc­
ceeded In ditching the Old Tartar. I
seemed to be standing on tbe verge of
a precipice over which I feared every
moment to fall. I only came to myself
when I heard a rumble, and, looking
down the track toward Dawson, saw
the headlight of an engine. A moment
afterward the accommodation pulled np
at the station.
I lost no time In approaching the
conductor for the purpose o f learning
how the collision had been averted. To
my surprise, he had no knowledge of
the Old Tartar*« being *wlld.’ He con­
sidered me a fit subject for an insane
arfirliiin. and did not hesitate to tell me
so. I even began to doubt ray own
«anlty.
| A message Of Inquiry was forward­
ed to Bartson, and tbe following reply
received:
“ ‘Hines was ordered to ditch the Old
Tartar. Did he do Itt*
“ Not one o f ua conld offer any ex­
planation until suddenly the conductor
exclaimed:
“ ‘ghe most have Jumped the track!’
“ Such proved to be the case. The
Old Tartar waa found at the foot of
an embankment about a n jle and a
half east o f this station. Near by were
found several ties, moat o f them pretty,
well smashed np.
“ You doubtless wonder how this ex­
traordinary thing happened. I t was
“ Stranger, do yon believe in mira­
cles?” I looked up from my newspaper,
tbe columns of which I bad been list­
lessly scantling and encountered tbe
gate o f the apeaker. I aaw before me
a man about 40 years o f age. He had
a bluff, open face and hia hair waa
streaked with gray. He wore the reg­
ulation uniform of the railway, and I
recognized In him the ticket agent,
telegraph operator, #t cetera, of the
station in which I waa waiting for my
train.
I had finished my business in the
town some two miles away, and, aa I
had nothing to do until the train ar-
rived, I waa not at all averse to chat­
ting with him.
“ That depends entirely upon what
you consider a miracle,” I replied,
throwing aside my paper.
” 1 don’t know that I can exactly
explain what I mean, but I believe
that the event I am thinking o f might
be called one.”
Of course I expressed a desire to
know what he referred to, imagining
that he had a story to relate to me.
“ Well,” be remarked by way of an
Introduction, "it isn’t often I tell this
story, but to-night I feel just like it.
i’erbaps the fact that the events oc­
curred exactly seven years ago may
account for the inclination.
’’It was Juat such a day aa this; the
air was cold enough to make a Are
seem comfortable, while at the same
time it was not at all disagreeable out
of doors.
“ A t that time I was employed at the
same Job I am now. There waa of
course less work to do In those days;

I will Ore up and start on my run
with a fa ll head of stbam.
“Six miles west of here lies the town
of Bartson; ten miles to tbe east, Daw­
son. This is, tbe only station between
the two.

menced clicking away at my call. For
soma reason I did not respond at ones;
when I did, I received the following

gion. It seems that they had planned
to ’hold np’ the accommodation train.
They had lanterna, et cetera, with
which to signal the train; bat fearful
that tha engineer would recognize them,
they placed several ties on tbe track,
so that If he failed to heed the signal
his train would be derailed.

’T h e cremation o f the remains at

place at Wat Dbebaalrlndr with royal
honors and In tbe presence o f a large

Mrs. JSllphalet Howe o f Centerville

In the pursuit o f literature or on tho

she waa taken by the niece and her

“ How did you like It, Annt Jane?"
asked her nephew-tn-law, as he piloted
