lotion submitting to tbe atato legisla
tures tba income tax amendment to the
Federal oonatitation. Then it devoted
its attention to tba administrative
feature of the tariff bill and adopted
them. The tobacco schedule will be
considered tomorrow with few other
uncompleted detail and than tba bill
will be reported from eemmtttete of
tba whole to the senate. Tbe only

Washington, July 8. Senator Aid-
rich achieved another sweeping victory
this af ternooft when, by a vote of mor
than 2 to 1, the maximum and mini
mum feature of toe senate tariff bill
wan passed.' ' This goes into effect on
March 1,1910. It empowers the pres
ident to add 26 per cant ad valorem to
all existing schedules, whether on the
free list "or dutiable, to those countries
di criminating- Sgeinat , tba United
State.
Id other words, where foreign na-
tfawa are. disposed to accept trade with
America-on the baa is of tbe edrnini
tretiv tariff bill, soon to be enacted,
the statute will not be elastic, but will
stand a passed. But where nations
prohibit, by excessive taxea, goods pro
duced ia this country, tbe president
may retaliate by the Simple issuance
of ft proclamation adding 26 par eent
sdvalorem to everything coming Into
American port from such restrictive
nationa.
Tbe bill alms particularly at France.
The French neople, as well aa she Gar-
mane, but the latter to a leea obnoxioo
extent, fearful of the progreas of the
American manufacturer, have been
rataing item alter item, so it wa ex
plained today, until now American
goods are almost prohibited from en Ur
ine- French and German territories.
There remain 17 other edmulstrattve
feature of the tariff bill to dispose of
before it goes to tne house. The report
1 tonight that tbe senate will nave
each of them out of toe way by Thun
