UNIQUE CHAIR FOR TAFT.
Every Pupil in Trades School Makes
Section of Morris Chair.

Philadelphia, June 23.--As a gift from
the principal and pupils of the Phila-
delphia Trades School No. 1, a Norris
chair of generous proportions and
substantial workmanship will shortly
be forwarded to William H. Taft, the
Republican Presidential candidate.
The chair is the work of boys in the
pattern-making department. Each
piece entering into its construction has
been made by different boy. and in
an effort to see that no boy was slight
ed in the work, the pieces, though
perfect in workmanship, are of I'M
equal size.
No nails, screws or glue have been
used in it's construction, but so ac-
curately have the sections been fash
toned that they fit together to form a
solid, unshakable whole. The re-
moval Of king pin allows the chair
to fall into fragments.
Made of solid oak, William C. Ash,
superintendent of the school, guaran-
tees that the chair will bear any HUI
man strain which may be placed upon
it. It's capacity is equally unlimited.
1t measures nearly four feet in width
and is proportionately deep At the
top of the back rest the initials p. Il.
S. have heen carved, and the whole
work has been so perfectly finished
that the chair will ornament even the
home of President.
Plans have not yet been completed
for its shipping and presentation, but
as soon as arrangements can be made
It will be sent to the War Secretary,
accompanied by letter. signed by
the principal and pupils of the school.

No Longer to Enjoy Ca
madam Pacific Coast Trade
There Is Now Canadian Ton
mage Enough For Traffic
And So Atlantic coasting Regula'
ton Will Apply to Pacific. ~


Ottawa, Ont, June 2S.-American
vessels will hereafter be excluded from
the coasting trade of Canada on the
Pacific. For some years the coasting
laws of Canada have been suspended
as far as the Pacific coast is concern
ed, owing to the fact that there was
not enough Canadian and British ton
mage to fill the trade requirements.
American boats have done a large
and profitable business between Seat
tie and Nome, carrying between such
ports as Vancouver, Victoria and Skag-
way. 1t has been decided by the gov
eminent that thcre is enough British
ard Canadian tonnage on the coast
to look after the trade, and the same
coasting regulation has been put into
force for the Pacific coast as applies
to the Atlantic.

AS tonic Peruna has no superior.
But it Is as catarrh remedy it has
achieved it's worldwide notoriety and
success.
ANY catarrh remedy to become per-

qualities. Cafarrh Is always an express.

that catarrh remedy should possess

Refugees by Parliament.


Teheran. June 23.-After bloody
fight which was waged around the
Parliamentary building today. the city
was comparatively quiet tonight, al
though the COssacks were canped in
the streets and squares. Cossacks and
soldiers early in the morning sur
rounded the Parliamentary building
and demanded that number of per-
sons whose arrest the Shah had or
dered, he forthwith handed over to
them. Parliament refused to comply
with this demand and shots We're fired
at the troops, several of the soldiers
being killed.
Orders were at once issued from mil
ttary headquarters that the Parlia-
mcnt buildings be bOnbarded, and the
bOmbardmert commenced soon after
10 o'clock While this was in progress
bombs were thrown from the Pariia-
m"nt building and the mosque adjoin-
ing, disabling one of the guns and
WGunding the gunners.
Eventually the buildings of Parliament
were cleared. but not before many per-
sons were killed or wounded. Tie bonn

afternoon, when it suddenly ceased In

SHOULD VACANCY OCCUR
No Precedent Exists As to How II
Should Be Filled.

Washington, June 23.-So far as is
known here, no power is vested in the
Republican national committee to fill
a vacancy on the Presidential or Vice
Presidential ticket that might occur
between the date of the nominating
convention and the election on the first
Tuesday in November following. No
emergency has arisen in the history OF
the republic such as would result from
the death or retirement of one the
candidates before election day. There
appears to be nothing, however. to pre-
vent committee from filling vacan-
CIV on a ticket that is, no law of pro-
hibition.

ISSUES DISCUSSED
In Article Written BY Secretary Taft
for Yale Courant.

New Haven. Conn, June 23.-Secre-
tary w. II. Taft has written an article
on The Republican Party" for the
Yale COurant, which was issued today
He discusses the organization and de-
velOpment of the party and of it's
policies from 1856 until the present
time. Some excerpts from the article
indicating the attitude of the Repub-
lican standard bearer in the approach
ing campaign are of timely interest
After saying that "One of the great
policies to which the Republican party
has been pledged from the beginning
has been the protective system by
which industries have been diversified
and domestic manufacture and farm
productions have been enormously de-
veloped in the 10 years which has
elapsed since the enactment of the
Dingley tariff the conditions have so
changed as to make number of the
schedules under that tariff too high
and some too low. This renders il
necessary to re-examine the schedules
in order that the tariff shall be placed
on purely protective basis. By that
mean it should properly protect
against foreign competition. and af-
ford reasonable profit to all manu-
facturers. farmers and business men.
nish a temptation to the formation Of
monopolies to appropriate the undue
profit of excessive rates.
