Combined With Democrats.

Then, it was taken up on the floor, and
week by week the discussion continued.
At length the time was reached when
1t was commonly believed that the bill
could not pass. Then came the report
that a coalition of Republicans and
Democrats was being organized, with
Bailey and TiIlman as bellwethers OF
the Democrats. TO pass the measure.
The story Of the alleged combination
got out, and the famous incident Of the
Chandler letters was the result.
But, meanwhile, the proposed COM
bination with the Democrats having
made it apparent that the bill could
be passed, the Democrats were dropped,
and the Republicans, confronted with
the certainty that the bill would pass
anyhow, came over, compromised on the
court review featuEe of the bill, and all

brought together a practically solid Re

ARBITRATION TREATY
SIGNED WITH JAPAN

Secretary Root and Ambassador Ko-
goro Takahira yesterday signed a gen.
eral arbitration treaty between the
Governments Of the United States and
Japan. This treaty Is similar to those
recently signed with several Of the
European countries, on lines recon-
mended by the recent peace conference
at The Hague.
The questions Of vital interest Re
tween Japan and the United States are
not covered in the agreement. These
questions are the independence or the
honor of the two contracting parties,
ard questions that concern a third
state. Therefore, a difficulty over the
integrity Of China. or one over the hon
or of either nation as affected in the
recent school question in California,

result OF the resumption OF treaty re-
lations between the two countries since

Conditions in Ships Storage
Scored In Bill for More Room

brutal and even murderous' are
terms applied to the conditions under
which steerage passengers on the great
Atlantic liners are obliged to travel,
in minority report that has been sub
mitted 20 the House from the Commit
tee on Immigration and Naturalization
by Representatives Burnett of Alabama,
SABBATH Of Illinois, and O'Connen OF
Massachusetts. These three members
of the House, in their minority report
on the Senate bill to amend that section
OF the Immigration law that fixes the
amount of the air space and provides
better accommodations for immigrants,
object strongly to making the reduction
in the air space that the bill contem-
plates.
The new immigration law was passed
in February, 1907. Section 40 OF II Is
intended Ia relieve some of the miseries
Of the storage by giving more air space
and better accommodations.
This section does not take effect until
January /. 1909, but a Senate bill has
been passed and has been favorably
reported from the House Committee on
immigration and Naturalization. the eff
feet Of which would be TO reduce the
air space materially from what it is
fixed in the new immigration law.
Want Space Reduced.
The steamship companies have been
clamoring for the reduction before the
new law has gone into effect, and Con-
gress has gone a long way in accepting
their view OF the situation. Under the
old law Of 1852, each immigrant was al
lowed 100 cubic feet Of space on the
main deck and 100 cubic feet on the sec

PRESIDENT SAVES
PRESTIGE Of PARTY
Will Make it Possible for
Republicans to Claim
All Credit.
Democratic Votes Used as
Club to Bring House
in LinS.

The Presidents remarkable ability as
party manager is again making itself
1elt as the session nears an end. The
President is very apparently going to
make it possible for the Republicans to
claim all the credit for whatever pro-
Gressive legislation passes at this ses-
sion.
There is every evidence that the pres
ent session will end much as did that of
two years ago, when the railroad rate
bill passed. 1t is being recounted now
among public men, that he is framing
up situation remarkably similar TO
that which marked the conclusion OF
the great debate on the rate bill at that
time. save only that this time he is
doing it in the House instead Of the
Senate
1t will be recalled that after the
rate bill had passed the House and
been taken up in the Senate. there was
a debate which went far TO restore the
Senate to its ancient prestige with the
public; debate worthy the best tradi-
lions Of tire Senate. It was uncer-
tain. from the day the bin went 20 the
Senate, whether IL could pass that body
II was finally reported out Of the SEN
ate committee by a coalescence OF Re
publican and Democratic votes, the
Democrats outnumbering the Republ-
cans.

FINE SHOWING OF ! YANKEE ATHLETE| Rain Mars Contests to Consid erable Degree and Crowd
 Is Small.
 SOCIETY OUT TO CHEEI Americans Occupying Sections Aroun| Royal Box Greet Countrymen In Characteristic Manner.
SOCIETY OUT TO CHEZ

London, July 13.-Rain interfsrl sadly today with the opening of th fourth International Olymolad by th king at the Stadium at Shepherd Bush and although 1t cleared of befot the hour set for the formal ceremon the attendance fell far short of ez pectations. The seating capacity the Stadium is upwards of 10000. an\ while the covered stands containev sections which were well filled, thor. were many vacant spaces. In fact. 1t had not been for the American and Colonial contingents which were then to cheer their respective countrymGy the sections around the royal bod which were occupied by society. iI would have been very small affair sd far as attendance was concerned.
 In some of tho events too, tho con1 testants appeared affected by the ad1 verse weather conditions but in other| events particularly the 16oO metres| race in which the greatest interest cen- tered, the men were up to their form| and twice during the afternoon the re- cord for the distance was smashed. Melvin W. Sheppard of the Irish- American Athletic club of New YorA was the first to accomplish the trick when, in the second heat. pressed hard by his team mate, J, P. Halstead. of the New York Athletic club he ran tho distance in the splendid time of 4:oS just 2-5 of second faster than that made by J. D. Lightbody of the Unit versity of Chicago in tho Olympit games at St. Louis in 1904.
 The two Americans in this heat beat a number of good men including C. Butterfleld. the English four mil( champion. who finished a bad third.
 J. P. Sullivan of the Irish-American A. c. and Lightbody. who were firs' and second respectively in the firsl heat of this event, took longer to covel the distance. but they were not press. ed, and doubtless could have done bet ter if 1t had been necessary. Meadows of Canada. set out to make the pac( in this heat, but Lightbody went td the front in the stretch and seemed likely winner. until Sullivan. with a fine burst of speed, passed him few yards from the tape.
 The best performance Of tho day however, was that of M. F. Hallows an Oxford Blue, who cut a full two seconds of the record much to thu surprise of everybody as Hallows al ways has been at his best at the threl miles, and 1,5oo metres was consider ed too short for him. He is nov thought to be the most sec'ors rival O the Americans in the final of thi event which will be run to-morr6w.
 Through their. defeat by Sheppard and Sullivan, Halstead and Lightbod. failed to qualify H. L. Coe of thu University of Michigan. made a stroni bid for victory in the fourth heat, bu he was unable to keep up with B. V Loeny of England, although the tim was not particularly brilliant. Go, finished second.
 The only other American in the race F. H. Riley of the Irlsh-Americal Athletic club, ran unplaced in hi heat. the third, which vas that 1T which Hallows made the record.
