If the caucus determines to put the bill
through promptly very little debate will be
allowed If on the other hand it is agreed in
caucus to dssect the measure on the floor the
bill will be committed to the committee of the
whole and discussed under the five minute rule
1t is generally conceded that the action OF the
Senate in refusing to adopt the amendment Of
fered by Mr.. Nelson to provide for federal
guarantee of national bank deposits will make it
easier to pass the AIdrCh bill in the House,
where little friendIiness toward that feature has
developed Friends of the AldriCh bill in the
House will be able to draw for support on the
omen attitude of the President in favor of the
bill and it will not be forgotten by them that
some weeks ago Speaker Cannon expressed him
self as generally favorable to the measure
INQUIRIES on the Democratic side to-day
showed a general understanding that the mi

South Birmingham, Mass, Nov IS.
 -Announcemen was made at the Birmingham hospital to-day of the death of Chester Nicholson, who for more than tive years had been coli fined to the hospital with broken back, the result of the collapse of the Ameden building here on July 23, 1906, when twelve workmen were killed and more than twenty seri- ously injured.
 Nicholson's case is considered by the hospital surgeons as the mos re- markable that ever came under thell observation. The man was buried in the wreckage of the three s'ory At the hospital 1t was found that his back had been broken and the spinal cord severed. Still he lived For more than nine months he was con fined to his bed, but later was able to sit up in a chair and during ;he warm weather he spent most of hiS time seated in wheel chair iG ! little grove at the rear of the hos pital. He was always confident that he would eventually recover. A few days ago, however, he began to fail rapidly, his constitution breaking down completely as a result of months of pain and late last night the end came.

TALKING TARIFF.
Tobacco Was the Article Considered
 At To.Day's Hearing.

Washington. Nov 13.-Tobacco and articles manufactured from to- bacco, coming under schedule r or the Dingley tariff law, were consider ed to-day at the public hearing De- fore the house committee on ways and means which has in hand the work of preparing readjustment or the tariff law for presentation to the special session of congress to be caii- I'd next March. The total importa- tions of unmanufactured tobacco for the year 1907 was valued at S29,- 2S0.1S3, yielding the government revenue of $26,125,037, which indi- cates the importance of this article in considering any readjustment or the tariff. The exports amounted to $33.377 ,39S.
 There are over 17.000 establish ments in this country. engaged in the manufacture of tobacco, which in- cludes the making of smoking and chewing tobaceos of all kinds, cigar cites and snuff, representing an in yestment of nearly S4OO,0OO,O ,O0o. Employment is given to about 2OO,- 900 wage earners and over 10000 salaried employees.
 There are several decisions of the board of general appraisers which will be brought up for consideration, but otherwise 1t is believed that on the articles coming under this sched- ule are now levied duty which is thought gives general satisfaction. There are few speakers scheduled to appear before the committee to-day
