BUDSTITUTE FOR DIADOLO. German Ifivsntt a New dame Much Lett Dangerous to Play, Porls, July 0. A new gomo of tho dlnbolo typo Is springing into favor here, and as tho American patents hnvo been taken out, "la funds" will no doubt be seen before Ion,? In America. "Ln funda" Is a new form of sling, as Its name shows. A llltlo bag on a wooden framework Is fixed on a swivel Into a sort of tennis racket without strings or top. Tho bottom of thn bsg Is open, nnd two strong India rubber bands piovent the ball, a Upnlt ball, from falling through. The game is to sling the ball from one player to an other or up Into tho air, to bo caught by tho samo player at will. It needs a certain amount of skill and Is certainly less dangerous nnd juit as healthy as dlnbolo. Tho Inventor is a young German named Sergcr, who In a domonatratlon which ho gave the other afternoon threw a tennis ball higher than tho chimneys of a seven story house and caught It again with out apparent effort.

Tho arrangement for, a voa tomorrow was arrived nt aa an alternative for a session tonight. Thclncomo tax ques tion, including tho corporation tnx provision and inheritance tax, received much attention in the senato today and tho straight Income advocates were afforded tho opportunity to get a vote in favor of tho income tax aa opposed to the corporation tax.

CONGRESS IN BRIEF Saturday, July 3. Washington, July 3, Senator Aid rich achieved another sweeping victory this afternoon when, by a vota of mora than 2 to 1, the maximum and mini mum feature of the senato tariff bill wns passed. This goes Into effect on March 1, 1010. It empowers the pres ident to odd 26 per cent ad valorem to all existing schedules, whether on tho free list or dutiable, to those countries dlicrlmlnating against the United States. In other words, whoro foreign na tions aro disposed to accept trade with America on tho basis of tho adminis trative tariff bill, soon to be enacted, tho statute will not be elastic, but will stand as passed. Rut where nations prohibit, by excessive taxes, goods pro duced In this country, tho president may retaliate by tho simple issuance of a proclamation adding 2S per cent advalorem tn everything coming into American ports from such restrictive nations. Tho bill alma particularly at France. The French people, aa well aa the Ger mans, hut the latter to a less obnoxious extent, earful of tho progress of tho American manufacturer, have been raising item after item, so it waa ex plained today, until now American goods aro almost prohibited from enter ing French and German territories. There remain 17 other administrative features of tho tariff bill to dispose of beforo it goes to the house. The report la tonight that the senate will have each of them out of tho way by Thurs day, and that on Monday, July 12, the lower branch of congress will begin tho consideration of the meaiuro.

RAISES ITS PRICES. Deef Trust 8ays Cattle Are Scarce and Corn High. Now York, July C. Tho beef trust has again ordered tho price of its pro duct raised. Fourteen cents a pound or pot roast to 28 cents or porter house and sirloin steaks Is the price. Thirty cents will be demanded or the latter cuta In a few days, whllo aver ago bee will cost tho dealer 10 cents a pound, ia against the hitherto pre vailing prico of 10 cents. The high price of corn and the scar city of cattle are the reasons aatlgned by the trust or the Increase in prices. Aa to why cattle ahould be any acarcer now than at any other time no answer ia forthcoming. Retail butchers explain that the working people are too poor to buy beef; that thero ia a leasening In the demand and consequently a raising in tho price. It is pointed out that Pat ten's corner In wheat has Increased the demand or corn as an article of human consumption, and that therefore the price of that grain haa so increased hat it Is no longer profitable to raise corn-fed cattle. Tho officers of the beef trust in the East are very reticent in discussing the condition of the beef market. When an expression of opinion waa eought from the representative of the big leaders in the trust, such aa Ar mour's and Swift's, the inquirer was referred from one official to another. Finally a vague statement waa made to the effect that the market was nor mal and that existing prices were due to natural trado conditions. BODIES IN RUINS. Work Suspended at Mestina on Ac count of Hot Weather. Rome, July C. Thousands of bodies of the vietima of the December earth quake that devastated Messina are stlii in tho ruins of that city and will not be dug out to receive burial until winter. In an effort to convince King Victor that it Is doing every possible thing toward the ends desired in Mes sina, tho Interior department today submitted its first comprehensivo re port. It is understood tonight that the king, though not doubting the honesty of the officials, waa angry that there bad been ao much delay, and had de manded speedier work. In reply to the accusation that no excavation had been made in the ruins, the Interior department declares it has been found necessary to suspend all work of this nature during the warm weather. Up to that time 30,000 bod ies had been recovered. An average of 300 bodies were removed daily in April and 900 bodies were awaiting burial foe lack of grave diggers. GOLD ORE AS BALLAST. Santa Fe Road Bed Rich In Precious Metal. Chicago, July C Officials of the Santa Fe road are Inclined to believe that through tho accidental discovery of goid and copper in the ballast used on the Delen cut-off a new rich mining district will be developed in the Man rano mountains in Torrance county, New Mexico. A fact that adds romantic interest to tho gold discovery ia that the region i: adjacent to the deserted city, which ia supposed to havo been Spanish and which ia known aa Gran Quivera. There are legendary atorlea of old Span ish mines which are supposed to have been productive hundreds of years ago, but which were abandoned. Now that gold has been discovered in tho region theso stories are being revived and many are flocking into the mountalna and are staking out claims everywhere. The discovery of gold ia largely due to ono of the engineers of tho com pany, who ia located at the general offices in Chicago. Not along ago this engineer was walking track between Helen and Willard and while in a deep cut he picked up a chunk of ballast which had a chomical stain upon it. Tho atone was brought to Chicago, and it was found to be highly infused with gold. Some of tho ballast which was being used on the Belen cutoff waa then sent for and was found to assay about $3 worth of gold to the ton. Country Lures City Folk. Now York, July C More than 1, 000,000 persons, ono-third tho popula tion of Manhattan, left this city Satur day to spend tho holiday and week end in tho country. It was the greatest exodus in tho history of New York and riot sovoral times was averted among tho throngs that filled t he steamboat piers. Every trolley car, train and Bteamboat was Uxed to Its capacity and more than 30,000 men, women nnd children wero compelled to return to their homos because the excursion craft could not accommodate them. Trust In No Danger. New York, July 6. Thero is little probability that thero will be any prose cution of tho sugar trust until August, when United States Dlstrcit Attorney Wise, who sailed Saturday for Europo, returns to Now York. Tho failure of the Federal grand jury to file indict monta In Its Investigation of the Amer ican Sugar Refining company adds to this Impression, EXTERMINATE BAND Troops Kill Every Man of Miffs Filipino Outlaws. FIGHT DESPERATELY TO FINISH Jlklri, One of Many Famous Outlaws Remaining In Jolo, Had Mado Many Murderoua Raids. Manila, July 6. In a desperate fight near Patlan, on Jolo island, yesterday, Jlklri, the famous Moro outlaw chief, was killed and his entire band exterm inated by detachments of regulars and constabulary under Captain George L. Uiram, of the Sixth United State- cav alry, operating in conjuntion with a naval flotilla of the mosquito fleet tin der Lieutenant Commander Slgnor. Tho American loss waa one private killed and three officers and 20 enlisted men and one tailor wounded. Captain Biram'a cavalry, with a few scouts and constabulary and a detach ment of tailors under Lieutenant Com mander Slgnor, located and attacked the outlaws in the mountains far from tho coast. The Moros fled and took refuge in a large cave. The column of troops and sailors surrounded the place, but Jikir! refuted to surrender. A concerted attack was made, the Moros fighting desperately in the mouth of the cave until the last mem ber of the band waa dead. J At yet but few details of the fight have .been re ceived here. Jikiri was ono of the most famous outlaws remaining in the islands. Ever since the American occupation he baa fought the whites and has led raid al ter raid. DEATH LIST CUT. Annual Patriotic Carnage Is Greatly Reduced. Chicago, July 6. With three daya celebration of the nation's birthday this year, the remarkable fact stands out boldly that the annual carnage baa been decreased to a great degree. Ad vices from all points up to midnight show that in all largo cities now roles and their strict enforcement have checked the customary slaughter of children. In New York thero were but fear deaths for the three days. In Chicago, usually drenched with blood under the guise of patriotism, there was not a single death for the three days. In Washington thero were no deaths and no injuries, and only the smallest fire crackers were permitted. Five deaths aro reported from the state of Massachusetts, one each in Boston and other large cities. One death is reported from Philadelphia. Tho entire state ox Oklahoma reports. but two deaths and nino serious injur ies. Small cities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and Far Western locali ties seemed most patriotic in casual ties this year. In every case this can be traced to lax police regulations. CUSHMAN IS DEAD. Congressman from Wathlngton Panes Away at New York. New York, July 6. Francis W. Cushman, representative in congress from Washington, died at 5 o'clock this morning at the Rosevelt hospital from pneumonia. At the bedside at the time were, besides the doctors and nurtes, United States Senator Samuel II. Piles, of Washington, and Andrew S. Burleigh, of this city, a life long friend. Congressman Cushman underwent an operation a short time ago and pneu monia resulted. Senator Piles and Mr. Burleigh, who had been with the patient almost con stantly since his condition became ser ious, said thoy would make arrange ments for tho sending of the body to Washington. Powers Block Russians. Pekin, July C Groat Britain, Austria-Hungary and tho United State have notified China that they do not recognize tho preliminary agreement between Russia and China devised for administration of the Russian railroad area in Manchuria. These powers de clare also that tho laws affecting tho right to reside in tho international set tlement in China must originate with tho treaty powers. The negotiations on, this subject, which wero opened last month, are now blocked for an indefi nite time Revolution In Colombia. Guayaquil, Ecuador, July C. A pri vate cablegram from Nuena states that a revolution has broken out at Barranqullla, the most important com mercial city of Colombia, against Gen oral Jorge Ilolguin, who is acting pres ident in the absence of President Reyes, and in favor of Gonzales Valencia.
