SENATORS SHOW LITTLEJNT EREST Listlessness Marks End of Debate on the Tariff. CUMMINS DENOUNCES BILL tow* Senator Says the Measure Does Not Come Up to His Idea of Tar iff Reform and Is Not a Fair and Reasonable Performance of the Promise Made in the Platform of Hie Last Republican Convention. Washington, Aug. 5.—General llst lewmess marked the final hours of de bate on the conference report on the tariff bill In the senate. The majority of the members appeared to be merely waiting for the end. Senator Cummins of Iowa discussed the paragraphs of the tariff bill gener ally, not presenting his objections in detail. He sought to establish his contention that no substantial tariff reform is accomplished by the changes the bill makes. Mr. Cuniniins announced his deter-. ininntlnn to vote against the bill, i though ho confessed the belief that it was superior to any bill framed for I revenue purposes and, so far as the schedules go, better than the Dingloy law. "I am opposed to the conference re port and to the bill which it embodies because it is not such a revision of the tariff as I have expended the best years of my life in fighting for and is not a fair and reasonable perform ance of the promise of our platform," he said, and added: "This is not a court of bankruptcy and I am not willing to accept 10 cents on the dollar in discharge of the obligations of the Republican party. It always has been and is now a solvent organization and it is not only cble but its rank and file will insist upon it paying Its debt in full. Its pledges will be redeemed at par and although the blindness of some of its lenders may at this time postpone the day of redemption I shall await with patience, confidence and serenity the hour at which it will keep full and complete faith with the American peo ple." He expressed his admiration and applause for the courage and per sistence of the president "in attempt ing to secure, anrl to a degree in se curing. lower rates in the range of dispute between the house and the sen ale." He said: "The range was very narrow and the president has done all that one man could for the betterment of the blU." MIGHT MEAN HIS DEFEAT Speaker Cannon Cannot Afford to Discipline -'Insurgents."

Just a few facts why this land is so productive. The soil is a live, rich, alluvial clay, of very great depth, ranging from 6 to 20 feet.

There was no secret made at that time of the speaker's Intention to de pose Representative Cooper of Wis consin and Representative Gardner of Massachusetts from the chairman ships respectively of the Insular af fairs committee and the committee on Industrial arts and expositions. There is no indication that the speaker has changed his decision on this point, but a number of the "stalwarts" have expressed to him belief that he can not afford at this time to be vindictive.

NO STREET CARS OR CABS Employ** of Stockholm Conveyance Lines Go Out and Means of Trans portation Are Unavailable—Govern ment Takes Precautionary Steps to Prevent Disorders—Food Supply Already Affected. Stockholm, Aug. 5.—The labor con fllct in Sweden has become more acute. While the ranks of the strik ers are considerably swelled the gen eral strike called has not yet be come entirely effective. Many organ izations, although sympathising with the strikers, hesitate to join them actively. The employes of the street cat lines and the cab drivers have stopped work and neither cabs nor street cars are available. The fact that, the troops are protecting the gas works and the electric lighting plant has incensed the workmen, whose leaders threaten to call out all the men unless the soldiers are with drawn. The printers' union held a meeting, but resolved to postpone for the present any decision in the mat ter of going on strike. A corps of workmen, some thousand strong, ie being organized with the object of maintaining order and th' people generally, bankers, merchants, etc., are arming themselves for self protection. The gun Bhops of the city are practically denuded of re volvers and small arms. All tour ists have left Stockholm and the num ber of visitors now in the city is smaller than at this season for many years past. Railroad Men Continue Work. Although the railroad men havo de cided not to strike the government if taking the precaution to guard the tracks with troops, fearing attempts to blow up bridges or injure the per manent way. Quantities of dynamite are reportod to have mysteriously dis appeared recently from th® govern ment stores. The leaders of the strikers claim that the end of the week will see notable spread of the movement that the railroad, postal, telegraph and tele phone employes and the printers will by that time have Joined In the strlk The streets of Stockholm are filled with idlers, who promenade back and forth chaffing the volunteer street cleaners, many of whom belong to the better classes. All the saloons arc closed and only the best restaurants are permitted to remain open and even hero It is possible to get win only with a solid meal. All the ferries have stopped run nlng and there Is little communica tlon bttween Stockholm and the sub urbs reached by water routes. This fact will result in a further diminution of food supplies.

It is difficult to fort'e^st the length of discussion on the concurrent reso lution. Many Southern senators have Indicated a desire to support amend ments putting cotton ties and cotton bagging on the free list. It is un derstood that Senator McLaurin will try to have agricultural Implements made free and that Senator Clapp will seek to amend the corporation tax provision so as to Include "holding" companies among the taxed corpora tions. It has been suggested also that amendments may be offered to the cotton and woolen schedules and that Senator Brlstow may offer an amendment extending the scope of the tariff board authorized by the bill. Senator Beverldge has had in contem plation offering an amendment to the tobacco internal revenue tax provi sion for the purpose of restoring that provision to the form in which it was adopted ny the senate.
