VIII BE Toward Higher Tariffs.
Washington, October 11.-Senator
Sherman arrived in Washington this
informing and expects to return to Ohio
tomorrow In an interview he said:
"Times are better than they were.
The business conditions have improved
over what they have been, but there is
no substantial revival and no promise
of return of general prosperity under
the present circumstances. In some
branches of business there has been
material improvement, but the revival
is not general"
do you expect Congress to do any
thing this winter to improve the situ-
ation?"
THAT depends on the President.
The Republicans have complete power
in the House, but uncertain power in
the Senate. l think something can be
done, but it will depend on the Presi-
dent"
"You mean in the way of increasing
tariff revenue?"
Eyes; something could probably be
done in that direction. Whatever is
done must be on protective lines, how
ever, and if there is any tariff legisla-
tion it will include duty on WOOL"

representing Mexico. The purpose of
the commission is to resuryey the land
boundary from the Rio Grande west
to the coast. When the original bound
airy line was fixed in the early fifties
but few monuments and markings were
erected Most of them have since dis
appeared. The commission has spent
about three years in field work and held
its last session at San Diego CAL about
a year ago. The locations of the line
does not involve any disputed territory.
To-day the commission began work on
the field notes. Col Barlow is of the
opinion that the full report will not be
completed before spring. Another
Mexican boundary line commission is
working on the boundary originally
fixed by the Rio Grande river, which
has a constantly shifting bed.

a WOMAN'S NERVE.
BY Using a Pistol She Scared Away Two
Robbers.


San Francisco, October IA fine
display of grit and a liberal use of
pistol probably saved the life of Mrs.
Leva Marshall, the operator at Baden
for the Southern Pacific. Late last
night, C. L. Herbert, the Office manager,
lett the Office, leaving Mrs. Marshall in
charge About fifteen minutes later
Mrs. Marshall was startled by some one
kicking on the door. Putting the pis-
tol in her pocket she went toward the
door TO open it, but before she reached
it the door was kicked in, and a tall
man wearing a mask entered, while a
companion kept watch outside, and de-
manded money. Mrs. Marshall drew
her revolver, but the intruder was too
quick for her and fired at her, the ball
entering her left arm at the elbow.
Mrs. Marshall then commenced to use
her revolver, emptying it on the fleeting
robbers. She waited for some time,
thinking that the shots would be heard,
but no assistance coming, Mrs. Mar
shall telegraphed to Train Dispatcher
Walters, in this city, who sent a spe-
cial car to bring her to San Francisco
for treatment. Her injuries are not
very serious.

London, October 11.-Dr. Joseph

in answer to the pastoral letters adyo-
eating a reunion of Christendom, in
which he says:
Were this a personal matter l could
hardly forgive myself for seeking to ap-

myself to bear witness to the leadership

communion with any man or church
that would officially or prescripuVely
come between me and my Savior"
