but it was plainly evident that they we're
entirely satisfactory to those who par
ticipated in them. Secretary Humphrey
when asked for some Information as to
what was done, said: mo doubt there
has been much in our executive sessions
here which good republicans all over the
country will be anxious to know about,
but they must wait and get it through
the private league sources. Some dem
ocrats read newspapers as we'll as repub-
licans, and we don't want them to know
our plans. You can say, however, that
plans OF campaign were discussed and
adopted which we feel confident will re-
suit in a large increase of republican
votes in the states where they will be
put into practice" This committee
will make a report on the proposed
change in representation in national
conventions, to the Denver league con-
ventlon.
Mr.. William R. Hearst, publisher Of
the San Francisco Examiner, will, if one
may Judge by the contents Of bill he
this week filed in court, be glad to leave
the business of prosecuting claims
against the government in the hands of
lawyers hereafter. The bill is against
Mr., John Wedderburn, manager of the
"Examiner Bureau of Claims" and Of the
"Press Claims Co." of this citv, and
asks for the appointment of receiver.
Mr.. Hearst, who was partner OF We'd
derburn in the original Examiner Blu
reau, charges that would-be Napoleon of
claim manipulators with having started
the "Press Claims Co." without his con-
sent and maintained it with money be-
longing to the Examiner Bureau; with
mlsm ,nagement and refusing to refund
money to subscribers of the Omaha Bee
and st. Paul Pioneer Press in accord
ance with contracts; with creating a
large Indebtedness and signing the firm
name without authority to a note for
$4,000 cashed by Mr.. Hearst's mother;
with applying firm moneys to the pay
ment of his personal expenses, and with
injuring the reputation of the San Fran

Senator Power, of Montana, having
been assured by several democratic SEN
stors that they would vote for an amend
ment to the tariff bill placing a lower
duty on wool than that imposed by the
Mckinley law, has offered as an amend
ment to the tariff bill the present law on
the importation of wool, with the follow
ing reductions in the amount of duty:
On woods and hair OF the first class, 7
cents a pound, instead of 10 cents; sec
ond class, 8 instead of II cents pound;
on woods and camels hair of the third
class 4 and 5 cents per pound instead of
80 and 80 per cent. Senator Power is
working hard to get supporters for this
amendment, in order to save the wool
industry of his state from destruction.
Senator Sherman does not often take
the role of all adviser of the democratic
senators, but he did at the regular meet
ing of the senate finance committee this
week. Seeing that those in charge of
the tariff bill are determined to retain
the income tax Mr.. Sherman deemed it
to be his duty to point out the injustice
and the danger Of levying tribute upon
the thousands of building associations
of the country and to advise the demo-

all share holders and maintain bona fide
building associations, where the working

homes, free from the ravages of an IN
come tax. AS the result of Mr.. Sher-
mans talk it was announced in the sem
ate that the finance committee will frame
an amendment exempting building asso-
Citations.
The most notable feature of Senator
Mills speech on the tariff was his declar-
alton that the democratic party intended
to let in free the manufactured art cles
of Great Britain, in order to persuade
Great Britain to buy her entire supply
of wheat from us, instead OF 90 per cent.
of it. as at present. In other words,
Mr.. Mills would destroy the manufac-
turing industries of the United States
as an experiment to see whether it would
