lands. They would meet the fate of the
Chinese on board the Kowshing in the
late war. There are only two harbors

be seized upon by Japan before America

which would be drawn from those who

WASHINGTON, July by the de-
cisive vote of 9s to 2s the tariff bill was
passed in the senate shortly before S
o'clock today. The elimination of the
long and arduous struggle had excited
the keenest interest, and the floor and
the galleries of the senate chamber
were crowded with those anxious to
witness the closing scene. Speaker
Reed Chairman Dingley and many Of
the members of the house. OF representa-
tives were in the rear area, while every
seat in the galleries, save those reserved
for foreign representatives, was occu-
pied. The main interest centered in
the final vote, and aside from this there
was little of a dramatic character in
the debate. The early part of the day
was spent on amendments of compara-
lively minor Importance, the debate
branching into financial and antitrust
channels. By o'clock the senators be-
gan to manifest their impatience by
calls of "Vote! Vote!" and soon there
after the last amendment was disposed
of and the final vote began. There were
many Interruptions as pairs were ar
ranged, and then, at 4:55 o'clock the
vice-president arose and announced the
passage of the bill-yeas. 3S; noes, 2S.
There was no demonstration, but a few
scattered hand-claps were given as the
crowds dispersed.

THE CUMFOO DANCE,
Ono Of the Popular Pastimes Of the Ne
grOes Ia Demerara

One o. the Popular PAstines q the Ne
groes In Demerara,
The negro has undoubtedly q very
strong inclination TO sleep in the day
and to spend the night in gossip, dancing
or singing. Oh oris account he is often
q nuisance to his neighbors, especially
when he has wake. As his home is
often nothing more than a single yoom
abeut eight feet square, the faneral
party is conducted in the open ward.
Here conSregate so to 100 people, who
begin the entertainment with hymns,
going ON after midnight to songs and
gamcs and often winding up toward
morning with free fight. Then there
Is the cumfoo dance, one of the finest
institutions in the world for producing
nightmare. Two men beat drums with
the bands, the one instrument produc-
ing tumtum and the other q rattle
rattle. almost without intermission dur
ing the whole night. At intervals of
about minute the party utters q weird
cry in come African language which
start&es you as you lie in bed vainly try
ing to sleer. AS hour after hour passes
your house appears to vibrate, the bed
Shakes and your spine feels as if made
mp OF leOSs segments. How can the
drummers keep this up for ten hours?
And tho dancers? With the latter ex-
haustion altsrnates with the renewal of
the orgy; ONE set falls down and anoth-
er takes its place. This and ether dances
are connected with obeah, the witch
cult of tho African,
Every negro and most of fhc colored
people have an innate fear of the Obeah
man, however they may deny it to the
whites. One Of the latest devslopnsnfs
Of this superstition was brought to my
notice short time ago in connection
with cricket match. The East Coast
Invipeibles and the Admirable Creolians
were to play match, and from few
wsrds dropped by the captain of the lat
ter it appears that he was sure of VIC
tory to his side because Hstable obeah
man had oiled their bat.-Saturday Re.
