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."
Washington, Aug. F.—A number of
the Republican "rule insurgents" have
not gone bock to the "reservation."

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
'Vnnr
Why pay $75 to $90 per acre for land when you can
buy land that produces from 35 to 50 bus. of wheat,
Oats 75 to 150 bus., Flax 20 to 30 bus. per acre for
$15 and upward.
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. We have then a
soil, which by nature, is fitted to take up the moist
ure of rains and snow and retain it.

Speaker Cannon's friends to contend
that "Uncle Joe" cannot afford to dis
cipline those Republicans who held
important committee assignments in
the last congress and who voted with
the "insurgents" at the beginning of
the present session.
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.

LABOR CONFLICT
IS MORE ACUTE
Ranks of Swedish Strikers
Considerably Swelled.
NO STREET CARS OR CABS
Employ** of Stockholm Conveyance
Lines Go Out and Means of Trans

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

urbs reached by water routes. This
fact will result in a further diminution

Amendments Proposed to
"Joker" Resolution
Washington, Aug. 5.—Every amend

report so as to make reductions in
boots and shoes and harness and sad
dlery apply to manufactures from calf
skin as well as leather from hide.
heretofore dutiable probably will be
laid upon the table.
The New York senators, who de
sired to have changes made in th
conference report, called on Senator
Aldrich with requests that he lend
his Influence toward the acceptance of
such changes, but unlformally he re
plied that the resolution could not be
opened up to cover subjects other
than the leather schedule and the
necessary changes In the maximum
and minimum provision.
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.
