THE GEARY LAW.

How Il is Viewed in China BY the
People.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE American
Bible society has received tie following
from it agent Verify at Shanghai: "What
may be the effect later on of the Geary
act on the Chinese government or on the
people we cannot of course say. So far
as my observation goes thus far it has
had none at all on the people. Wherever
/ go in the interior the United States is
in favor with the people, and it seems to
US that our friends at home have been too
solicitous, AS to the officials they are
astute and far-seeing officials and will
wait the best time to act.''

SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
A Conclusion Reached Regarding the Re.
port of a Repeal Bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE meeting
of the Senate finance committee today
was attended by every member, and con-
illusions were reached which may enable
the committee to report repeal bill to-
morrow. There has been, from the day
the committee first met, difference OF
opinion between the silver and anti-silver
men that apparently could not be recon-
ciled, and although there has been very
free discussion of the matter, these differ
ences are not nearer settlement than
when the conferences began.
The attitude OF Chairman Voorhees,
today, however, gave the silver men on
the committee but little hope, for he said
ne would vote to report favorably repeal
bill provided there was declaration
coupled with it declaring for bimetallism.
The bill when reported will contain such
declaration, and the vote by which it

barricaded the doors. Troops rescued

It was inevitable, he said, that any regu-

TORTURE DANCE.
Thousands of Chicago People Watch In
dams Undergo Torture.


CHICAGO. Aug. 17.-Thousands of peo-
pie lined the edge of the Grand basin at
the Worlds fair tonight and watched
four Quack Ali Indians undergo the tor
ture dance. The horrible ceremony took
place on float in the center of the basin.
The four braves who underwent the dance
had thongs passed through strips of flesh,
cut in the back. Other Indians took the
loose ends of the thongs and using them
as reins drove the others around the
float as if they were driving horses,
causing the most exquisite agony. Finally
the thongs pulled entirely loose ana tear
ing the flesh, caused blood to flow. One
of them lost his reason because of the
awful pain and suffering. He sprang
upon Interpreter Ford and fastened his
teeth in his arms, and hung on till the
united strength of several men was nee
essary to open his Jaws. He will recover
his reason in short time.

Working Out Their Destiny.

The ways and means committee
that is to say, the democratic majority
of the committee-has got its tariff bill
in shape, but an official announcement
OF lib provisions has not yet been made,
except as to the sugar schedule. The
original plan Of the committee is re-
ported to have been to impose an ad-
valorum duty oftwenty- five per cent and
abolish the bounty. This proposition
seems to have been modiit d, for the
chairman Of the committee has author
lied the statement that the duty on re-
fined sugars is reduced from one. half to
one-touItl cent per pound; raw sug irs
remain free of tax; the Mckinley
bounty is repealed progressively-that
1s, one-cighth each year, so that at the
end OF eight years it is to cease entirely.
Under tie Mckinley law, raw sugar is
admitted trea OF duty, but refined
sugars are taxed one-half cent per
pound. The difference between this
proposed law and the existing law is,
therefore, that on refined sugars the
duy is reduced one half, and the bounty
on sugars-cane, beet, sorghum or ma
ple--of domestic production is to be eX-
tinguished by easy stages at the end of
eight years. The old law and the pro-
posed new law both place raw sugars of
foreign production in the free list.
Under the tariff act Of 1888, what is
classiti I'd as raw sugar paid a duty Of
two and three-quarters cents pound,
and refined sugars, according to grade,
paid three or three and one-half cents
pound. The Mills bill imposed du-
ties only somewhat less on the same
grades Of sugar. Thus 1t will be seen
that the bill the committee is 10 report
lays upon sugar smaller tax than has
ever before been imposed or proposed.
Bounties have been paid on sugar Of
domestic production under the McKin-
ley act amounting TO some sixteen and
three-quarters million dollars. The
bulk of this sum has been paid to the
producers of cane sugar. Bounties ag
gregating sky thousand dollars have
been paid on maple sugar. Vermont's
share was S36 22j to 1920 producers
