Controversy Over the Tariff on

DUTY ON POST CARDS

This Is on Account of the Ger.

Washington, June 1.-THE duty or
writing and typewriter paper, ETC., as
recommended by the committee pro-
voked dispute between Senators Bris-
tow and Smoot as to whether it raised
or lowered the rates of the Dingley law
The Utah senator contended that 1t
lowered and the Kansan that it in
creased the duty An amendment was
offered by Mr.. Bristow lowering from
3 to cents a pound and 15 per cent ad
valoren the duty on this class of pa
per. The amendment was voted down
q to 35
By viva voce vote the senate
agreed to the committee amendment
fixing the duty on illustrated post cards
at Is cents per pound and % per cent
ad valorem. AS stated by Mr. Smoot
this very great increase was made
necessary on account of the intense
German competition which was supply
ing the domestic market with post
cards showing American views.
By viva voce vote the senate Sus-
tanned the finance committee in it's
proposed reductions. of duties on win
dow glass below the house bill and the
Dingley law rates after rejectin~ by a
vote of rs to 81 an amendment offered
by Senator Bacon for still lower rates.
Discussing Duty on Paper.
The senate today began the con-
siderationA of the print paper and
wood pulp provisions in the tariff bill
when Senator Aldrich proposed an
amendment increasing the duty on
print paper from one-tenth to two
tenths of cent per pound, which he
said equalled 81 ton. The Dingley
law placed the duty at IS a ton and
the house reduced it to 50 ton.
Senator Brown of Nebraska, dis
cussed the subject.
Offering an amendment to place print
paper on the free list, Mr.. Brown de-
clared that the paper industry did not
need the protection of a duty. cat the
risk of creating a panic" he said, he
would read from President Roosevelts
message to congress in response to
which the house had undertaken to in
vestigate the wood pulp and paper
business. He then proceeded to read
from the message and when he had con-
cluded Mr. Tillman said:
These very papers that are asking
for free paper are the very headlights
of protection and they deny me the op-
portunity to buy this coat or these
shoes illustrating by pointing to the
articles Of his attire), yet they want
free paper"
Looking about the senate with a deep
scowl Mr.. TiIlman brought his foot
down on the velvet carpet with re-
sounding effect as he added: They are
humbugs.''
Then he took his seat.

MISS OWEN IMPROVES.
Mayor Crittenden Offers Reward of
Apprehension of Her Assailant.

Kansas City. Mo-, June 17.-Miss
Annie l.. owen, the stenographer,
who was slugged in her Office here
last night and the records of the po-
lice investigation stolen from her, was
improved today. Her skull was not
fractured as at first supposed, and it
is believed she will recover. Mayor
Crittenden today offered a personal
reward of 800 for the apprehension
of the assailant and the police de-
partment is making every effort to
run him down..
The common council met today to
take action in regard to the case
Mayor Crittenden said:
1--WE will do everything possible to
apprehend the criminal. The police
have been ordered to exert every
means The city will offer a reward
and / hope every citizen who can
possibly do so will add to it,"
Miss Owen was the stenographer in
a police investigation. She was as
saulted in a downtown Office last
night and her stenographfc notes OF
the hearing stolen
The woman had been struck on the
head with some blunt instrument and
rendered unconscious. 1t was almost
an hour before her plight was dis
covered.
The investigation which has created
great local interest, concerns the
alleged protection of gambling and
illegally conducted saloons by police
officials

SUN IN ECLIPSE.
VIII BE Seen Here at Shutdown This
Afternoon.

The sun will be seen in martial
eclipse in this latitude beginning this
evening at GIG and lasting until z: 90
The central line of totality com
mences southeast of Tornsk in
Siberian Russia. travels eastward and
north pole of the earth and skirts the
east coast of Greenland, where total
ity ends near sunset
The eclipse as partial phase of
greater or lesser MAGNITUDE sweeps
over the larger part of the North
Canada and the United States.
At sunset this evening we will see
the eclipse about as shown in figure
2. Figure 1 shows it as the sun sets
at the southern limit of Georgia. The
other. figure is an attempt to show
the eclipse in its annuIar phase.
There is, however, all the difference
imaginable between an annular and
total eclipse, for as long as there is
the slightest ring of sunlight left the
magnificent corona and gaseous
prominences, extending. at times to
more than 100000 miles from the So
lar surface, are all hidden from view.
But at the moment when totally oc-
ours the corona and prominences
burst forth in all their beauty-one
of the most awe-inspiring sights ever
witnessed by human eye; indeed
when the weird shadow of the moon
passes over the belt of totally, one
feels as if some dread calamity is
about to happen and no wonder that
to the ancients indeed to the I'M
civilized nations of the earth today
total eclipse of the sun was and is a
portent of evil, or death and destruc-
ton.
Only about three-tenths of the sur
face of the sun will be darkened when
the eclipse is at it's maximum point.
The eclipse will be caused by the moon
passing between the earth and the
sun, which is the cause of all eclipses
of the sun, since Venus and Mercury,
which are the only other terrestrial
bodies that can pass between the
earth and the sun, are too small to
cause any obscuration. Their pas
sage before the sun is called a transit
of whichever planet is passing, and
if one wishes to see the small shadow
caused he must have a powerful and
especially adapted glass. The eclipse
will be over when the sun sets at I:5l |,
and Old Sol will go down in all his
accustomed glory.

ITALIA CAR PASSES ON.
Seven Days Behind in Race But Still
Going.

Seven days late and only half way
across the continent the Italia car in
the ocean to ocean race arrived in To-
peka a little after IL this noon, her Co.
horse power four cylinder engine beat
ing in regular time and the long white
body of the loaded car quivering from
wheel to wheel under the powerful ac-
ton of the cylinders. This car brings
up the rear guard Of the racers but 1t
is not behind in spirits. The four men
in the car are still hopeful of ending
the race with honors. They figure that
the other cars are as liable to acct
dents as they were and if they can
make fast time between here and the
coast they will stand good show OF
finishing among the first.
The Italia did not come across the
river today They entered North To-
peka after crossing the three bridges
and snatching a can of gasoline and a
bite to eat they drove onward along
the upper road out through the
suburbs.
There were four men in the car
buried among. blankets, spades, ropes,
pulleys and the like. The regular men
on the car are Egbert Lille. Ebert
Bellows and f. B. Whittemore. They
all take turns at driving. All the men
are covered with mud but their spirits
are not dampened in the least.
The Italia has zen having the worst
of luck on their trip. All the cars were
in sight of each other until they reach
ed Toledo. Ohio, when a series of acct
dents including dive into an embank-
ment delayed them five days.
Their big experience in the west

them before they cross. While they
were all standing near the end of the
bridge discussing the matter a

hind them and before the engine
could be stopped the Italia was in

many states ahead.

MAKE FINAL DEMANDS.
Firemen on Gould Lines VIII Strike
on Unsatisfactory Reply.

Texarkana, Ark. June 17.-Following
the conclusion of the secret session of
the subcommittee of the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen
discussing a controversy with the. Texas
& Pacific railroad as to the right of
the order to represent its members,
prominent officials of the Gould system
met here yesterday. While no official
statement as to the conclusions of the
subcommittee was given out, it is de-
elared that a final demand is to be
made on the Texas & Pacific road and
that an unsatisfactory reply would
doubtless result in a call for a general
strike on the Gould system Of rail-
roads.

FIRE ON STEAMER.
Russia Evidently Nervous About
Safety of Nicholas.

viborg, Finland, June ia British
steamer has been fired upon by Rus
sian torpedo boat for approaching too
close to the bay on the Finnish coast
where Emperor Nicholas and Emperor
William are to meet today.
The British steamer in question is
the Northburg, Captain Robertson:
She was hailed and fired upon last night
off Wirolahti, Island Of Broke. The
projectile from the torpedo boat pierced
a steampipe, and one member of the
crew of the English vessel was wound
ed. The incident shows the extreme
nervousness for the safety of Emperor
Nicholas.
Russian torpedo boats have been pa
trolling Pitkipas bay, the rendezvous of
the two emperors, and 1t was one of
these guard vessels that fired.
The German Imperial yacht Hohen-
zollern with Emperor William on board
was sighted Off Viborg only this morn
irg. The first meeting between their
rnajesties will occur in Pitkipas bay,
secluded branch Of the sea that Emper-
or Nicholas makes the headquarters for
his summer cruises.

"Heii He was working IN the servants
quarters Mrs. Gould rushed in at one
time and swore at and abused the
servants.
Her voice was shaky and incoher-
ent, her hair disheveled and she was
very profane. She was decidedly
drunk" said the witness.
''At another time she came into the
stables while was working there and
swqre at the grooms. and was so drunk
that everyone could tell she was
drunk" he continued. She tried to
go upstairs to the harness room but
could not navigate the steps," he
added.
Trotter said he was ordered to go
to Blue Gap farm. the Gould place in
Virginia. On several occasions dur
ing the first ten days he was there, he
testified, he saw Mrs. Gould intoxi-
Gated and heard her swear a great
deal at the workmen.
"One night she came in from driv-
ing, drunk" said the witness, 'And

Mr.. Shearn Asks for $4,000.
During this cross examination Mrs.
Gould eyed Trotter with a piercing
look of disgust.
After adjournment Mrs. Gould's
counsel argued a motion in another
part of the supreme court for $40, 900
counsel fees and $4,000 for other ex-
ira expenses.
The court will take the matter I'M
der consideration and decide whether
the allowance of $4,000 granted some
time ago by Justice Bischoff is suf-
f1cient to recompense Mr.. Shearn for
his services.
In his argument Mr. Shearn made
it clear that the Gould trial will go
on for at least week more. He de-
clared he had fifty witnesses ready to
rebuff the testimony of the defense.
