This point was stretch ed a hit further, however, nn bin trip to Panama. nlthoiiKh It was pointed nut that he went tn an American possession ever which the Amoi!"an colors waved. Hut the proridont was Indisputably p tabllslipd. however, for while on the Cnnnl Zone n acepted an Invitation from flomrnl Amador, then President of Pan ama, lo a reception nnd hnnipiei In his honor nt the palace. This was only two miles out nf the Cnnnl Zntio, nnd Mr. lioosevelt was out from under the Amerl ean flat? not more than three hours. Aside from leavlns Ameilcnn territory, another precedent was pstahllshed, for Prpslrtput Itoosevelt vltpd the Piesidpnt of a nelchhortm; republic In his own l.onip. As everyone nlreadv knows, I'resldent Taft did not start nut tn follow nil tho Itoosevelt pieeedents.

Tin- Mexican lYosldent is n prisoner within his own countiv, not by the sim ple mutter nf precedent, but by lnw, wlil -li mnkes it far more dlllleult for him to venture beyond his own Jurisdiction, lie ennnot leuvo his native land except by a special art of Concrcs, and this has never yet been brought to an issue. The Mexican Congress will convene Sep- temper IS. however, and doubtless will b' In session at the time of the imetlng, which will bo about Octeibcr 1',. So If Pjpsldent IlaK wishes tn take a look at the American fide ot tho dividing water bis Concress dnuhth-ss would readily grant tho requost. to MPi-vr ox a poiippk i;i:iioi:. Put for either to meet the other on his own ground would rob the meeting nf the Presidents of the Important feat ures thnt nro being considered by the of ficials of the two governments If Mr. Taft were in go to Mexico, tin- meeting would be mnro Impressive tn H.c- Mexi can people, and If Mr. UIn7. should cp ss the liver the meeting would be 11-1110 Im pressive tn Anierleniig. Accordingly, the mlilille-nf-the-brldcp Idea nnpeals strong ly to the ofllelnla of tho two cniinti les. The vehicle and electric rnllwni- brnlgo between PI Paso and Juarez is about a mllo long nnd unusually wide, in the center of the btldge, a great stand may be erected, reaching far out on either side, with proper supports. Such a stnnd may he made to nceommoilaie a gather ing of Srt.fnK) to Cii.fi'i'J persons. It ls esti mated. The ro3t of eonstrU'tlon, of course, would bo divided between the twn governments. The bouudnry line would be carefully drawn and across this line, separating the flags of the two eountiles waving over their bends, the two Presidents would meet and exchange greetings, In the presenco of thousands of country men nf each. An nddies by each, It Is cnlculnted, wrlild have gnenl effect on both nations, eneh addle: slug tlWj pen pin of tho nation rysoinblcil. Pollnwlng this, such n confluence as might bo de sired by them could be held In prlvnto and It Is even considered that a lmnriuet or feast of some sot t could be spread, across the lino, with hluh olllelnls of (nch eoiintiy unending their President. It s possible thnt a number of foreign diplomats will bo present from both Mex ico and tho United States nt tho unleiuo meeting. It Is desired that Hie genernl plan nnd many nf tho Important detulls shnll ho agreed upon before president Taft lenvi'.i Washington for the summer In nbout two we-eks, possibly. As. Mr. Thompson, tho American ambassador to Mexico, will fihoilly retire, and slnco President Tnft first suggested Ihn tho meotlng personal ly to Ambassdor do la llarra, Ihn ar rant'ements will bo mndo tliroiip.li the Mexican embassy. President Iilnz, who Is now In excellent health, although In his tOth year. Is enthusiastic over the Idea of the meeting nml personally Ins expi essi'd In writing his nppre'lntiin 1 1 Mr Taft for taking tho loMlntlvo In Hie matter 19 9V TA FT INSISTS UPON TAX Free Iron Ore, Hides and Oil Demanded. Deduction on I.nmlirr nml Coal Also In Vltltmittim llrpnrt Conic from White House Confercner Cor p.iriillon Tut 1'lnn Arous ed Much Opposition. A WaslilnRton special to the Hoston Transcript says: At a late hour this afternoon there was obtained on Rood au thority whnt purports to bo tho Presi dent's tnrlff demands. There nre tho cor poration tax, free Iron ore, free hides, free oil, a i eduction nf the duty on lumber lo $1 and n reduction oftho duty on coal to -It) or 45 rents. Tho President's first In clination wns to npply the 40-cent rato to nil kinds of coal, lnolurtlnir slack, but lie Is now wIIIIiie; that slack duty shall lie retained. A deadlock between the President and tho eonfirenee committee on llm tnrlrt Is on over the corporation tax. If a vote on Hip tax should bo forcpd In rommlttee now Hip tn would Ro out. Whether It can ever Ret a majority nf tho votes nf lepuhllcan members of the rommlttee Is a (Uestlon. The position of the conference Is strotiR because It Is backed by a ma jority In enrh branch of the leKlslntive body. As HiliiRs stand to-day nothing can save the tax hut a positive command from the President that It shall he rptaln pd. Thnt 1ip Is still anxious to hnvo thp tav laid Is made evident hy the fact that pvery member of the rnnferenco com mittee who has seen him the Inst twn daya leports privately that he emphasized corporation tnx rather than tnrlff rntes Indications are not Inrklnu that If the conferees do flnnlly defer to the wishes ot the President with respect to this tax tho sp.'sIoii of ConRross may bp prnlotiRed until AURiist. The rlslnR tide nf npposl t Ion to the prnpnspil tnx throURlinut the ecMiitry Is ph-lntr leclslntors ronrnRo to oriTiinlzc to defent It If It shnll he pro vlded for In the conference report. Well Informed senntnrs nnd representatives said to-day that unless tho opposition to the tnx abates there will certainly be a iletunud In 'iioth Senate and House for separate vote on the tnx If It rhn.ll ho approvpd by Hie conferees. The lenders In each branch, It Is asserted, would not be averse to RranthiR the separate vote. They are Just as anxious ns the rank nnd (lie of two bodies that some way may be found for Retting rid of the trouble some issue. One of the siiRRestlons Is thnt, by wny nf compromise, the President shnll con sent thnt the whole question of special taxes shall ro over to the roRiilar lonrt session, which will open In December i"he chief nrRument in favor nf this pro gramme Is that the centralization step contemplated I." the corporation tax is tno lonR a one to take without full nnd free discussion In both branches. Members of the Hntiso aro pointing out that the body never has had the corporation tax before for consideration, and many of them object strenuously to the ennctment nf such Important IPRlsIatlnn throuRh a conference committee. The House con ferees nre even more determined than the Senate members of the committee that tho tax shall be dropped, and that Is saylnfi a Rood deal, for not one of the Senate conferees Is In favor of the tax. A sec ond sitRRpstlon Is that the inheritance tnx, which tho House adopted nt the request of the President, be nccpptpd in prefpr enco to the corporation tnx. This Is whnt the House conferees nro at this moment flKhthiK for. Members assert that the President could, without sncrlflrlnR nny of his prestlRo, accept the Inheritance tax. It was his (lrst choice, but as has been prevlnuly stated In these despatches, he abandoned It because several Stnte Leg islatures adopted resolutions cnndemnlnR n federal tax nf thnt snrt. If the Inherit nnce tnx should flnnlly be necepted nnd the corporation tnx dropped, tho step would be taken, senators say, with tho understnndlnR prnbnbly, that the Inherit ance tax will he abandoned If the requis ite numlier of States shall ratify the constitutional amendment opcnlni? the wny for an Income tax. The ten republican senators who voted ncnlnst tho bill on Its final passaRo, unless tho unexpected shall happen In conference, will vote nRalnst tlio confer ence report. At tho time the hill passed It wns Renernlly understood that Senate' T-a 1'Vdotto, Hrlstnw, Cummins, nnd poss ,iy one or two other progressives would ' ' refuse tn vnte for tho conference report unless It provided for the reductions de mnnded of tho Sennte, but tho country's 1 -approval of the course of the ten has been I f so empnnuc inni uiey novo an practically decided tn "fnllow tho furrow to the end." On mature consideration they nre disposed to believe that they owe It to the public to stnnd firm against the hill nt every stnge. Ia Follette's stntement given out yesterday afternoon, showing thnt, ac cording to the figures eif tho bureau nf statistics, tho bill both the Sennte and the House bills Is even a worse measure than thn progressives hnd thought It to be, s tnken to mean thnt the Wiscon sin senntor Intends to renew his flRht against the measure when the conference report Is submitted. Of course It would bo Impossible! for him to talk It tn denth but he could delay matters n good while especlnlly If the other progressive sena tors should Join lilm In n flnnl attack Mr. Aldrlch and the members of the com mittee Insist thnt figures submitted b Senator Ii I'nlettn are not correct, thei still maintain that the Sennte bill Is : downward revision bill, hut the Wisconsin senator has used the government's skilled experts In renrhlng his .inclusion, nnd the result enn hnrdly be discredited Sereno K. Payne, chairman of the wa.-i nnd means committee, occupies s. more powerful position In tho conference com mittee thnn wns first neeredlted to him A Sennte rnnferee has mndo the Imperious statement mat nner Mr. Payne had got through "ranting over downward in I slnn" the steam roller would be hrougl out and the high protectionist would proceed to write the rntes. Till- attitude must be abandoned, hoiiever, Ir V ew of tho rising tide of rebellion In tin House, while iv Payne is tn a s-nse fighting ninne, Ills only t'neere associate being Snmnel U MeCnll of Mnssaehus etts, a majority of the members of the Houn nre snld to fee that no tnrlff bill will be approved by thorn Hint does not benr Chnlrnmn Payne's signature. The President mnv not threaten veto, but Payne can. and tho Indications now nre thnt he can deliver tho goenls. Mr. Mc call has hem misrepresented ns Interest Ing himself onlv in Items of special Im pnrtnnco to New Pnglnnil. Ho lins ably nnd fearlessly debated every Item thnt called for debate, nnd Is not rated by his nssoelntes ns n sectionalism Thn House conferees strongly favor the Pavre maximum nnd minimum with vary ing rntes InRtend of the flat twenty-five per cent, rdvnnce nf ths Aldrlch bill. Tim weakness of thn Payne plan was that It vested nn discretion In thn President or any other nuthorlty In tho application of tho pennl fentures to foreign countries. 'Ihn House members would llko tho Sen ile discretionary feature along with thtr own less drastic maximum scheme, While tentative agreements havo been reached on the administrative nnd many other fentures nf tho hill, tho UnderstnndlnR nfter tho first rendlnR wns that If the conferees were found not to npree on all points they should be ronsldered ns nRree Iiir on none. This nrranRPtnent has left tho conferees Just nbout where they start ed, for sharp dlsaKreemelils exist over several mattprs. The tarirf rates havo hardly been discussed nt all. Tho most 1 linn enn bn said for down ward revision Is that where tentative npreements hnve been reached, nH In Iron and steel, tho low tariff men have not yet lost nny ground. Tho House InsurR enl9 hnvo tnlten no steps so far to form an apresslve nrR.uilzntlon, chiefly because they do not want to stir up the spenkpr nnd Ills cohorts too pnrly. They hnve canvassed tho Houe, however, and re port InsnrRent material by Stato ns fol lows: Wisconsin P, Minnesota f!. Inua S, Nebraska S, North Dakota 2, Kansas X Ohio 3, New York ,1. Mnsachusetts 1, Indlnna 2, Illinois 2, total 41. This list, added to the 172 democrats, would slvo n majority of 21 of the whole House, mak- Im; allowance for two vacancies and one absentee. The lines on which nn Insurg ent tnovetnen would be cal led nn are not defined yet nnd cnnfllrtlnR Individual positions on pertain Items nhn would em barrnrs a coalition. The democrats, ninreovr, are not unanimously low tariff men, hut tho re publican Insurgents have bien Riven In understand thnt the political opportuni ties of the situation would he so great that most If not nil the democrats would sink their Individual preferences nnd com. bine with the republicans If the latter took n solid stnnd ngalnst Hie lilll. The I'resldent hns no npeclnl supporters In the House, nor hns ho ypt trlpd to rally nny support to bin mystical proKramme except on the corporation tax, which ap parently ho regards n3 more Important than the duties. Of course, tho republi cans havo no thought of rebelling system atically unless the bill shall be found so nbnnxlons an to promise a democratic House In 1!10 If It passes--unless It Is tho Aldrlch bill, In fact, The situation tn the House Is almost unprecedented, bow-! ever, In Us relation to tariff legislation, nnd Is so landed that the leaders are handling It very carefully.
