 Congress
 Chicago. Nov, 1z.~-~A dispatch 10 1ne Trtbune from Washington saySs
 immediately after Congress convanea next naonth, Senator Culom of Illinois win introduce a joint resolution tn the Senate providing for the appointv inent of an expert tariff commission 70 consider and report on those schedules which should be revised.
 Such a commission, according Co fhe view Of the Senator. should be ahsu- lutety nom partisan and should treat the subject solely in accordance with the needs of the business and labor interests of the country.
 In the judgment of Senator Culloul, the time has come to eliminate the tariff. from politics and to make t what 1t should be. a practical business proposition. He has no sympathy with the view Of the ''standpatters" that tha tariff is like an endless chain and that the modification of one schedule netessitates the remodeling of tho er1- tire system.
 What he wants Is law which will enable a change in particular sched- uIe. either increase or decrease as tho interests Of tho working people re- qulre.
 Senator culIoa1 feels if any action at aIl Is had on the tariff, 1t should Dc taken long before q presidential slee- ton, and thus eliminate a subject from political campaign.

GEN. SKATER DEAD
PASSES AWAY AFTER KLaHsNBss OF
 SEVEN DAYS.
Soldiers Death Directly TraeeabIe Te GhlII Contracted While Returning From Polls, Which Reaulted
 Tn Attack of I'AeuHuo~

Bakersfield. Cal, Nov. 1s.--Bfajor General William Rufus Shafter, U. S. IA, retired, died at 12:46 p. m-, today at the ranch of Captain ". H. Kittrick, his son -in-law, twenty miles south of this city, after an illness of seven days, despite the best medical attention available in California.
 While returning from the polls last Tuesday General Shafter contracted severe chill. which augmented a slight indisposition and necessitated confine- ment to his bed. Dr. T. w. Mitchell, the local family physician, was sum moned. The patient failed to improve, and Dr. A Shafer was called for con- Hsultation. Intestinal obstruction was discovered, but 1t was determined that this was a secondary afflictjon brought on by an acute attack of pneumonia.
 Wednesday, Thursday and Friday no irnprovement was noticed. Saturday afternoon a slight rally was detected and relatives and physicians wore hopeful. but the change was short lived.
 the veteran. Dr. Herzstein of San francisco, who had been called, ar rived shortly after midnight Sunday morning. and after being hurriedly driven to the generals s'de a consul tation was held with the other physi- clans. It is stated that pr. Herzstein deemed an operation the only means of relief from the intestinal obstruc- tion, but the condition of the patient would forecast nothing but fatal re- suits in such an attempt.
 pr. Herzstein returned to San Fran cisco, all hope of saving General Shaf- ter's life having been abandoned. The patient was left in charge of Dr. Mitchell. and the battle against des- perate odds continued. Through 1t all, the veteran bore up bravely. Always cheerful and hopeful, his mind clear and cognizant of his critical condition, the patient remained conscious until 9 o'clock this morning. Pure oxygen, sent from San Francisco performed great work in keeping life up, but af- ter midnight and early this morning a constant weakening was dtscerned. The general lasped into uuconscious- ness at 9 o'clock and remained in that condition until death
 Captain and Mrs Kittrick, the gen. erals son-in- law and daughter, and James w. Shafter, a brother were at the bedside when the end came.
 The body of Major General Shafter win leave this city Wednesday evening on a santa Fe train, and will arrive at Point Richmond the next morning. ana will be placed aboard govern ment tug and escorted by military or- acers to the peesidio at San Francisco Interment will pc in the Post Ceme- tery Immediately after the arrival with full military honors. The body win rest at the McKittrick ranch until Wednesday evening.

CHURCH AND STATE.

 Of nemmffen.

Debate Resumed Hn French Cbamber
 Of Depuffes.
 Paris, Now 12.--The debate on the application of the church and state separation law was resumed In the chamber of deputies today. M. Pieu, amid applause from the right, insisted that the state should negotiate set clement at Rome. As the matter stood, the Pope, he said. was forced to choose between moral and material ruin or continue to prefer poverty and scism. A refusal to modify the law, M. plou declared. would be equivalent to the declaration Of a religious war by the state.
 Replying to numerous interpelfa~ lions, Mir. Brland, minister of educa- etsn, cleared up an important point relative to the application of the sep station law. He deeiared' that after December II. of this year, church property could be handed over to the local authorities. but according to law, after December II, 1907. 1t must be awarded them. All curtufal asso- eiations formed after next month, how ever, might eventually acquire such property should the state so decide

REFUSES TO BUY SILVER.
a Ceats Per Ounce Too High. says
 Shaw.

Shaw.
 Washington, Nov .12-The Treasury Department today received offers for the sale of silver to the government at 72 cents per fine ounce, These offers were rejected and Secretary Shaw stated subsequently, that no more sil- yer would be bought at present high prices. The government has on hand, he said, silver enough to keep the hints in operation for some time to come, and he regards the present prices as too high to warrant the government in making any more purchases at those figures.
 The Treasury Department began its present purchases August 6, and since that time approximately $500, 900 ounces have been purchased at prices ranging from G5 i-2 cents to 71.95 cents per ounce.
