SITUATION AT WASHINGTON.

There is a great deal of speculation
! s to the possible fate of the tariff bill,
With the amendments attached. The
friends of the compromise, however,
re confident that the bill will go
through. They were much disturbed
t first at the bold utterances of Mills,
ut after reflection and canvas of
ne situation in the Senate, they find
hat Mills will not be able to influence
single vote on the Democratic side
the Senate. They count on enough
otes to pass all the amendment in
bite of the Texas senator's declara
on that he will antagonize every one
them. The Republican contention
lat the new bill gives protection in
pots and has been framed to take
ire OF trusts, worries the Democrat
managers considerably.
Chairman Wilson, who has just re-
rned after weeks OF serious illness,
hd tariff matters very much COM
icated. He has had long confer
zee with the President, and it is un-
rstood that the tariff inbrolio was
Bcussed in all of its phases. 1t is
id that the President is not alto
ther satisfied with the situation, and
not pleased with the bill as it stands.
airman Wilson thinks the compro-
sers have made too much of sur
pder, and that should the bill pass
Senate in its present form, the
use would insist upon its modifica-
n in many particulars. There ap-
ars to be some doubt as to the atti-
e of the President on the sugar
Pstion. The Louisiana sugar grow
claim that he favors protecting
ir interests, but that he is against
Sugar Trust, as he is opposed to
tering any trusts.

But now that Coxey has his army
in Washington, what will he do? If
congress does not accede to his de-
mands will he remain in the city un-
til the Legislators adjourn? Or will he
return home with his men to begin
another campaign which shall end at
the ballot box? Would it not have been
better to have the latter movement
come first? Would not CoXey and his

out that whisky is a comparatively

to have made claret popular. In 1880

Robert Kempt has gathered together
many interesting historical items and
quaint anecdotes about the inns and
hotels of Scotland. says the Caterer. 1t
must be confessed the historical side
begins very late, for in olden days inns
were practically unknown over the
border, travellers being received in pri-
vate houses as guests. Consequently
there is no record of such ancient Lon
don obstetrics as the Tabard, in South
wark; the Mermaid in Bread street, or
the Blue Boar, in Eastckeap. When
Defoe went TO Scotland he had difficult
t. in finling an inn 1T Aberdeen, and
this in spite of a royal edict issued by
james |. in 1924, to the effect that in all
borough towns where there was con-
siderable traffic, hCstelries should be
esta biiShed. but these institutions did
not flourish till very much later. Mr..
hfinpt gives some amusing informa-
ton as TO the pains and penalties en-

AN ENORMOUS VINE.
One That Grows In England and Bears Tive
Thousand lunches of Grapes.

! One That Grows In England and Bears Tive
Thousand lunches of Grapes.
While IN the public mind the great
vine at Hampton Court palace is es-
teemed the most remarka bic, even that
is excelled in dimensions by the still
greater vine at Cumberland lodge,
Windsor Park, says the London Daily
News. Not only these giants, but
probably all other vines in the kingdom,
have to give place for extent and pro-
ductiveness to that most remarka BILE
vine which is just at the present moment
carrying the enormous quantity of
eight hundred and ffty-two punches
and a total weight materially exceed
ing half ton.
This is growing at Manresa house,
Roehampton, in winery two hundred
and twentyfour feet long by eleven
feet wide. The vine was planted by
the present gardener, Mr.. Davis, as q
cutting, onto wall outside more than
thirty years ago. But finding that in
the natural soil such capital growth
was made, the present house was
specially built for its accommodation,
SO that now the vine and its main stems
stand partly across the house. Just two
thirds up its length. There are seven
main rods or branches running hori-
zontally each way. These are allowed
to carry laterals, or fruiting shoots. on
the upper sides only, so that the grapes,
no% fast becoming black for the va
riety is the black Hamburg), hang the
entire length of the roof in straight,
even lines, instead of up the roof, as is
commonly the case. Over two thou
sand lunches were cut after they had
set. The value of the crop, estimated
at two shillings per pound-which is,
as good grapes go, perhaps not high
figure - would be one hundred and
twelve pounds sterling. Probably no
other tree of any kind in the kingdom
could produce such sum in fruit an
nually.
