BILL TO RlMOVE DUTIES
Building Material for San Francisco
To be Admitted Free. Same Ac-
ton Was Taken in Case Of Chica-
go Fire.

Washington.-A proposition has
been made to admit duty free steel,
lumber and building material for the
reconstruction of San Francisco. 1t
is believed that a bill will pass con-
grcss taking the duty off steel. There
is precedent for it in the case Of the
Chicago fire, when congress took sIIn-
liar action. In the next place, the
word has already gone out that Amer
lean steel works are behind in their
orders and cannot fill acquisitions to
the extent demanded by San Francis
60 situation. Steel will be demanded
for every business structure, it Is
thought. In the last place, which
will be the first consideration IN de-
termining the issue, the country prob
-aDIy VIII not tolerate the spectacle OF
the steel trust barring the way against
impOrtations for the stricken city
from abroad, while at the very mo-
men: it was selling steel cheaper to
foreign consumers than to the home
demand. John Wesley Gaines, of Ten
nessee, was first in the breach with
bill providing for drawback on all
building material actually used in con-
structiOn of the fallen city. Mr..
Madden of Illinois, a Republican in
troduced bill providing for suspen-
SIGN for one year Of duties on steel,
on the ground of shortage Of struc-
tural s,eel in this country. Scores of
amendments will be offered, providing
for reductions on other articles of
the Dingley schedule, and there will
be long wrangle over the whole tar
if question.

Mrs. Martha S. Gielow, president
general of the Southern Industrial
Educational Association, who has de-
voted twelve years promoting prae-
teal and industrial education among
the impoverished illiterate white chill
dren of the South, visiting and lee
turing in all of the states extending
from West Virginian to the gulf and
west to the Pacific Coast, made a re-
port Of her labors to the Mistress of
the Association at a meeting held
here. Mrs. Gielow, in her travels, has
had ample opportunity to observe the
vast difference in educational facili-
ties provided for the whites in the
South and in other sections. She
gave a vivid picture Of appalling con-
di,iOns in the Southern mountains,
and said that recent reports had
shown IA per cent Of native white
illiterates in Alabama. 10 per cent
in the mountains of North Carolina
and II per cent in Louisiana. The
start ng statement was made that
there are 100000 more illiterate
whites than there are Of negroes vo-
tiers in the South. Mrs. Gielow gave
an account of the modest beginnings
of the Association, which, incorpo-
rated only three months ago by a de-
voted band Of eight persons now num-
boring a membership of 300 persons,
who support the movement in every
section. of the Union. The first ac-
tivity of the society was to appeal
10 900 camps of the Daughters of the
Confederacy and set $4,000 Southern
women to thinking. Then the appeal
went to over 200 camps of the United
Confederate Veterans. She had plead
ed with the trustees of the great ed
ucatiOnal funds for help but they
could do nothing as their generosity
was limited to colleges and normal
schools.

Congress will adjourn some time be-
tween the middle of June and the first
of August. That is my guess. This
was the reply of Speaker Cannon to
an inquiry about the probable length
Of the present session. "YOu see, "
continued the speaker, "there is q
certaina mount of work congress must
do before it adjourns. Little of that
work has been done yet. The appro-
priation bills have been fairly well ad-
vaneed by the house, but the senate
practically has done nothing with
them. If the senate should pass a
railroad rate bill by the first of May,
it would take all of six weeks for the
rest of the work which must be done.
And who knows whether the rate bill
will be passed by the frs of Maya !
see no prospect of very early ad-
iournment. We will be here some
time yet"

THE PRESIDENT TO THE FRONT.

1t Is evident that the Republicans
are growing uneasy touching the ap-
preaching elections, so much SO that
it has been necessary for Mr., Roose-
welt To leap into the breach and COM
mand Republicans to vote for party
nominees under any and all circum-
stances. Mr.. Roosevelt with bis ac-
customed superiority and dogmatism
has Issued long letter telling why the
Republican party should be continued
in power, and defining party policies.
He has grown to be ''stand patter"
OF the Cannon type. In the dark and
distant future he admits that some
schedules might and possibly ought to
be changed. but the day of changing
them is so remote as to place the
changes somewhere near the day of
judgment if not after
Prosperity so abundant as be thinks
and certainly so among the trusts
must not be disturbed, and the mere
thought of disturbing it. so tickle is
prosperity, might upset everything, so
says Mr.. Roosevelt. With wheat sell
ing at 20 cents only it does not seem
that the farmer has much to lose, and
his cattle, sheep and hogs not selling,
or If selling, then at low rate, ought
not to cause him to banker after much
more prosperity of the same kind.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
rom our Regular Uorrespondent,

Washington, ID, G., Aug. 20.-The
bureau of manufacturers today in the
Daily Consular and Trade Reports calls
attention to the great success which
has come to the leather industry in
this country during the last few years.
Fourteen years ago the total exports
of leather and it's manufactures
amounted to only a little over twelve
million dollars, while today it aggre-
gates forty millions and is Increasing
so rapidly that the bureau estimates
that the fifty million mark will soon
be reached. The effect on European
competitors has been to induce them
to expend large sums of money to dis
cover the secret processes by which
American leather is prepared. The
bureau says they have been quite sue
ceSsful in this task.
The National American Red Cross
has requested the State Department
to inform it of the extent of the Gillian
earthquake and of the ACCESSIBILITY of
appealing to this country for relief by
the sufferers in that country. On ac
count of the meagre reports received
in Washington, the Red Cross has hes
itated to take any steps previous of
this time. Acting Secretary of State
Bacon is member of the executive
committee of the Red Cross and it was
to him that the society made it's re
quest.
The State Department is without ad-
ditional advIces with regard to the
earthquake at Valparaiso, Chill, this
morning. Cablegrams from United
States Minister Hicks and from u. S.
consular officers in Chill received yes.
terday do not represent the situation
as bad as the newspaper dispatches
would Indicate although there is no
doubt that considerable property has
been DESTROYED by the fires which sue
ceeded the earthquake.
Representative LOngworth, the Presi.
dents son in-laW, says no possible CON-
bination of circumstances could arise
which would make Mr.. Roosevelt ac-
cept another term. His mind Is set
tied, and lrreprOcably on the matter.
A telegram received here today from
Mr.. Root by the State Department saws
that he was leaving BuenOs Aires that
afternoon after most hospitabIe and
frierdly reception and entertainment.
Mr.. Root added that in view of the
terrible calamity in Chill he proposed
with the acquiescence of the ChiIian
government TO limit his visit in Chill
Ito simple call of coincidence. Mr..
Root says that he had offered appro
pirate sympathy to the Chilian gov
eminent III dispatch sent from BuenOs
Aires.
BY direction of the President the
State Department has prepared and
sent a message of coincidence to the
President of Chill expressing the sym
pathY of this government and the
American people with the people of
Chill on account of the earthquake Ill
Valparaiso.

what Mr.. Bryan Said In His treat

The Atlanta Georgian of 9Th inst,
gives the following interesting con-
troversy and correspondence in which
Mr.. Roger b. Atkinson. former we'll
known resident of this city, and Mr..
VIM. Jennings Bryan take prominent
parts The Georgian" says:
A short time ago, after very salts
flying Sunday dinner, several gentle
men sat discussing over their cigars,
things in general, which always in.
clude politics.
1t was only few moments before 4
friendly bout had been framed up over
William j. Bryan's prospects for an
other presidential nomination, and tn
Justification therefor by bis past rec
ord before the American people.
In the group were two ardent advO-
Gates OF the Nebraskan, one equally
ardent opponent-nOt of the man, but
of his cOnvictiOns-and two neutrals.
Soon and naturally enough, the talk
turned upon the two greatest gems in
Mr.. Bryan's OratOrical crOwn-his
speeches at Chicago in 1896 and at st.
Louis in 1904-and of the famous pc.
Rod in each of these-the ''crown of
thorns and cross of gold" climax at
Chicago and the thrilling prelude of
defense in his great speech at St..
Louis.
The ''crown of thOrns and cross of
gold" period was familiar enough to
all present, but an attempt to quote
the one which added new laurels to the
Nebraskan's fame at st. Louis prOvOk-
ed a question as to the accuracy of the
rendering.
Mr.. Roger Atkinson, a weII-knOwn
VlrgInian. now connected with the
Southern Bell Telephone Company in
Atlanta, was of the company and be
ing a good personal and political friend
OF Mr.. Bryan's, day or two later
wrote the great cOmmOner, then tour
ing Europe, asking for the correct rem.
dering of the language in question.
Mr.. Atkinson 3 letter found Mr.. Bry.
an in Ireland, and from the. Lakes of
Killarney, on July %, the distinguish
ed traveller sent the following reply:
"Great Southern Hotel,
Lakes of Killarney,
July %, 1906
Dear Mr.. Atkinson: Your favor at
hand. l am not sure that | can give
you the exact language you wish, but
will give it from memory on the back
of this page. l appreciate your con-
tinued interest.
