Washington, Aug. 14. The Senate le
bated the wheat item of the tariff bil
through practically the entire day yeB
terday, and the Democratic loaders were
visibly disturbed by their failure to
make progress.
Accordingly, a Democratic caucus has
been called for to-day, when plans to

Senator James Hamilton Lewis
threatened with appendicitis and may
have to undergo an operation. His ill
ness caused much apprehension in Son
ate Democratic circles yesterday, inas
much as the Senate in all probability
will refuse to allow Congressman Henry
D. Clayton to be seated from Alabama in
place of the late Senator Johnston, and
Senator Culberson is gravely ill in
Connecticut sanatorium.
Senator Lewis, though feeling jll, went
to the Senate, arriving late.
The Democratic control of the tariff

Value of Ex-Congressman's Work in Aid
of the National Tariff Commis
sion Association.
Washington, Aug. 14. Henry
Towne of New York told the Senate lob
by committee yesterday about the for
mation' of the National Tariff Commis
sion association, of which he once wa
president. Martin M. Mulhall had tee
tiffed that the National Association of
Manufacturers was the chief factor in
its organization.
Towne testified the association was
formed at an Indianapolis convention
in 1909, called by Henry Kcisenberg, a
which 232 commercial organizations were
represented. Thousands of contributors
included the Manufacturers' ,. and the
Merchants' associations of New York.
Former Representative James E. Wat
son was employed by the association in
April, 1909, after he left Congress Towne
testified, jn explaining two $500 drafts
on the manufacturers, drawn to Watson
He said the manufacturers had promised
to contribute $1,000, and gave it in the
form of two drafts. He denied that the
tariff commission association tried to put
men on the tariff board, in tour years.
he said, the commission had raised about
$39,000.
Towne testified that Watson was em
ployed by the tariff association from
April to June, 1909, and on cross-exami

BREED A NEW
KIND OF HORSE
Government Experts Expect Toughness
of Mule and Speed of Horse From
Foal By Zebra and Mor
gan Mare.
Washington, Aug. 14. Experts of the
bureau of animal industry believe they
have discovered a new cross-breed of
horse that will prove as tough and use
ful as the mule and yet have the intelli
gence and speed of the full blood horse
This decision has been reached after ex
periments made by breeding "Dan," the
Greavy zebra from the national toologl
cal garden, to a Morgan mare, at the
Maryland experimental farm of the ae
partment of agriculture. The resultant
foal has been highly praised by ihorse
men, ana tne breeders are urging that
the government import as many more
Eebras of the same strain as can be pro
cured for the purpose of establishing
the new breed.
BRITISH PLEA FOR
EXPOSITION FAILS
Great Britain Adheres To Decision To
Ignore the Panama-Pacific Ex
hibit. London, Aug.' 14. Another assault on
the position taken up by the British gov
ernment in regard to the Panama-Pa
cifio exposition was mads in the House
of Commons yesterday afternoon, but
failed to change the situation.
Col. George Gibbs, a Unionist, and
John O'Connor, a Nationalist, both urged
that the authorities of the San rrancis-
co fair be induced to change their rules
in favor of the United Kingdom being
allowed to make a single collective na
tional exhibit.
Francis Dyke Acland, parliamentary
under secretary for foreign affairs, re
torted, however, that this was only one
of the reasons which made British par-
icination inexpedient and. anyway, he
said, the regulation as to scattered ex
hibits seemed to be a definite part of
the exhibition's rules.
Mt. O'Connor asked if this decision of
free trade srovemment was a proper
return to make to that United States for
the reduction of its tariff.
"The American tariff has not been re
duced," was the only reply Mr. Acland
made;

tle more than check its spread. Several
other buildings caught fire but were not
badly damaged. The loss on the eleva

$18.01X1 and on the dwelling at about
$3,000. The two families occupying the

Oceans Are To Be Joined
on Aug. 25.
Panama, Aug. 14. The destruction of
the last dike in the Pacific section of
the Panama canal, between the Mira
fiore locks and the ocean, will take place
about Aug. 25. The event will lack
somewhat the spectatilar features at
tending the dynamiting of the dike in
the same locality some time ago, but
will mark an important step toward the
completing of the canal by establishing
uninterrupted water communication tor
vessels of light draft between Miraflores
and the Pacific.
That a ship could pass through the
Panama canal in October was the opin
ion expressed by Lieutenant Colonel Eu
gene Wilson, U. 8. A., assistant to Colo
nel Goethals in the construction of the
canal. Colonel Wilson said that bv next
spring the canal would be ready for the
vessels of the world. The fortifications.
he added, would not be completed until
fter the canal is opened.

WILSON FAVORS
RURAL CREDITS
He Promises Early Action
by Congress to Aid
Farmers
ADMITS FARMERS
ARE NEGLECTED
Will Be Next Legislation
Urged After Currency
Measure Passes .
Washington, Aug. 14. In an official
statement issued from the White House
yesterday, President W51son declared
himself in favor of a "complete and a
favorable system of rural credits.
The president explained that legisla
tion of this character was not attached
to the currency bill now under consid
eration because there had not been time
to work out a perfect plan. He prom
ised, however, to endeavor to secure
early action for rural credits from Con
gress. After explaining at some length the
necessity for this legislation and the in
vestigation which has been made by the
government commission recently re
turned from Europe the president said:
"There has been too little federal leg
islation framed to serve the farmer di
rectly and with a deliberate adjustment
to his needs. We long ago fell into,
the habit of assuming that the farmers
of America enjoyed such an immense
natural advantage over the farmers of
the rest of the world, were so intelli
gent and enterprising -and so at ease
upon the incomparable soil of our great
continent, that they could feed the world
and prosper no matter what handicap
they carried. We have not exaggerated
their capacity or their opportunity, tut
we have neglected to analyze the burden
some disadvantages from which they
were suffering.
"One of the chief and most serious of
the disadvantages is that the farmer
has not been able to secure the extended
bank accommodations he every year
stand in need of, without paying the
most burdensome rates or interest and
saddling himself with mortgages and ob
ligations of every kind under which he
fairlv staggered if he could carry them
at all. In other countries systems of
rural credits have been put into opera
tion which have not only relieved the
farmer but have put his enterprises upon
a tooting of easy aecompusnmeni. uur
farmers must have similar means afford
ed them. Tbey must be furnished these
facilities before their enterprises mn-
guish, not afterward.
This is our next great tasK and duty.
Not only is our government commis
sion about to report the best metnod,
but the department of agriculture has
undertaken a serious and systematic
study of the whole problem of rural
credits. The Congress and the execu
tive, working together, will certainly
afford the needed machinery of relief
and philosophy to the people of the
countryside and that very soon,."

tributed Later.
Washington, D. C, Aug. 14. The
United States geological survey has been
compiling for some little time informa
tion in regard to the geology, topography
and water resources of different sections
of Vermont, and Director George O.
Smith has just notified Senator Dilling
ham that the following publications are
now on the press r A real geology of
Hoosio and Bennington, by L. M. Prm

by C. C. Covert, C. S. DeGoIyer, and
G. 1L CanfieJd. These different publi
cations will be included in the regular

It is expected that this branch of the
government will carry on this work
generally throughout the state, as it is
something which the Vermont delega
tion in Congress have requested for a
number of years.
Four mounted ranchmen from the

pia. Wash., May 1, 1912, and will end
111 San Francisco, in June, 1915, at the
end of which they will have covered
more than 20,000 miles. They intend
to visit every state capital in the Un

sixteen governors and have had their
photographs taken with them in front
of their respective State Houses. The
riders arrived in Washington from Rich

Residents of Washington, who have
been in the habit of buying their Christ

PENNSYLVANIA BREAKS RECORD.
Coal Output for 1912 Exceeds That of
Any Previous Year.
The output of bituminous coal tn
Pennsylvania, according to E. W. Tar
ker, of the United States geological sur
vey, who compiled the figures In co
operation with the state topographic and
geologic survey commission, established
a new record in 1912, and exceeded the
previous year maximum of 1910 by II,
343,964 short tons in quantity and by
$16,310,087 in value. A slump in the
iron and steel trade during 1911 resulted
in a diminished output of coal, the ef
fect in Pennsylvania being exhibited
chiefly in the Connellsville coking dis
trict. Similarly, the revival in the von
and steel industry in 1912 is reflected
in an increased production of bitumin
ous coal in Pennsylvania, more than two
thirds of tlie total increase being in
Fayette and Westmoreland counties,
which constitute the Connellsville dis
trict. The production decreased from
l.w,o21,520 short tons, valued at 5153,
029,510, in 1910, to 144,561,257 tons, val
ued at $14(1,154,952, in 1911, the smaller
production being accompanied by a slight
decline in price. In 1912 prices were
somewhat improved and the production
increased to 101,865,488 short tons, val
ued at $169,370,497. The gain in quan
tity in 1912 over 1911 was 17,304,231
tons, or nearly 12 per cent; the increase
in value was $23,215,645, or 1 per cent.
Production increased generally through
out the state, 18 out of 23 counties show
ing gams, but as previously stated, by
far the greatest increases were in tne
two counties named. Fayette county
showed a gain of S,?56,405 tons and
Westmoreland a gain of 6,487,354 tons.
The combined production of these wo
counties in 1912 was 62,956,110 short
tons, which exceeded the entire produc
tion of Illinois, the third coal producing
state, end was equal to 94 per cent of
the production of Wet Virginia, which
ranks next to Pennsylvania as a coal
producer. Washington county increased
its production 1,3(11,355 tons, Allegheny
county gained 1,003.470 tons, Cambria
county increased 650,502 tons, and Som
erset county, 710,723 tons. Other changes
were relatively unimportant.
No less notable than the increase in
production In 1912 was the extension of
the use of mining machinery and the
larger tonnage of machine-won coal. In
1911 the quantitv of coal mined Dy ma
chines was 69.131.923 short tons, or 47.78
per cent of the total; in 1912 the quan-
ltv so mined was 82.192.1)42 tons, or
50.8 per cent of the total, lhe num
ber of machines in use in 1912 was 6,176,
against 5,719 in 1911.
