Washington, July 22.-The presideni
gave a dinner to the conferees last
night at which the whole situation
was gone over in detail and an at
tempt made to harmonic differences
In addition to the conferees, Senator
Crane and Senator Root, Speaker Can
non and Representative Dwight, whip
of the house we're present.
After dinner it was stated that nc
definite agreement had been reached
on any subject. Senator Aldrich kept
insisting that compromises would be
necessary on the free materials II the
bin was to be put through both houses
He believed that sufficient votes could
not be obtained for such radical re-
ductions. However thought he was
mistaken. No formal statement was
made by the president,
Representative Calderhead of Kan
sas, one of the conferees, expressed
the opinion after the conference that
the report on the bill would not be
ready until early next week He said
there was the best of feeling on all
sides and a general disposition to
make the sort Of bill that the presi-
dent desired.
AS result of the days develop
ments, it has practically been decided
to make free hides the basis of sharp
reduction in the leather schedule.
Senator Crane, who has been canvass
ing the situation for the president, re-
ported that it would be possible to
put the necessary concurrent resolu-
tion through both houses, authorizing
the conferees to go below the lowest
rates agreed to on boots, shoes. har-
ness, saddles and leather goods Ac-
cording to information gathered by
Senator Borah, only three of four SEN
ators would oppose the plan for free
hides if it was coupled with reduc-
tions in leather
Representatives of New York cotton
importers and manufacturers came to
Washington yesterday to protest
against the Aldrich increases in the
cotton schedule. They told Mr.. Taft
that the increases were all for the
1,nx,of+ .e nh<,<4o Yeir,,d .v.f1fr o,a kho&
they we're so excessive that the other
cotton manufacturers didn't want to
stand for them.
When Senator LaFollette made his
attack on the cotton schedule, Aldrich
accused him of misrepresenting the
figures. So the New York delegation
had taken pains to make out an eIabor-
ate table showing the increases in the
Aldrich bill over the Dingley rates,
and to have it approved by experts in
the New York customs house. This
table showed that the average in
crease on cotton clothes was 2S per
cent over the DingIey rates The cot
ton delegation called the presidents
to the fact that the goods
which carried this heavy advance were
the standard cotton clothes. not the
fancy articles. The president promis-
ed to look into the matter carefully.
The best to be hoped, however would
be the restoration OF the Dingley
rates. =

In Cuba even the police shun the odium of being

They are never officially COgn1zant of duel There
are many duels and not in the fashion OF France
either. Cuban duels seldom with pistols which
may not hit with rapers, scratch from whose

by clean raper and if your antagonist is too much
gentleman to wriggle it in your person, as was
complained of i'll hammered fellows in the reign
of Louis Philippe, you may recover and live happily
afterward
But though the championship in small swords,
after being wrested from the immemorial possession
of France by Italy, belongs to Cuba, the Cuban
duelists usually fight with sabers. 1t is hard to
cape doing and receiving some damage when using
sabers. Gallant gentlemen not compelled to work
for a living continue to live their incomes with

believed its culture superior to that OF the United

seventy and eighty years earlier.

ON THE EDGE OF A CUBAN DUEL

Burleigh heard of the Cuban
duels with lively expectations. The
Venezuelan duel was no society
affair; merely two caballeros, or
more likely just hombres, meeting
with no particular preliminaries
and informally inserting knives
into each other; after that, very
likely two inquests. In Cuba he
found what externally bore the
earmarks of the French duel, and
he ached to write one up.

TN the Latin countries, the pri-
i vate citizen who gives infor-
nation against a wrongdoer,
unless he is himself the injured
party, loses caste. The people
regard it as Our children regard
tattling. You must not raise
your voice against the thief in
the street, unless you are the
one he has robbed. You must
not pursue a burglar, unless it
is your house that he has en-
tered.
This queer way of looking at
things is less marked among
the French than among the
other Latins, and characterizes
the Spanish speaking nations
most of all. 1t is a legacy of
the centuries when Govern
ments were the enemies of the
common man and the might of
the law meant lawless might.
Every man felt it his duty to
help other men escape the OPP
preston of the authorities. In
the modern perversion of this
ancient mutual protection, it
has been possible for society
organized for the patriotic pur.
pose of curbing the power of
a foreign nobility, which the
Malta once was, to become
SOMETHING else entirely.

 A gentleman who went to Bisbee yesterday to attend the ball game at Wareen is authority for the state ment that the road between Douglas and Bisbee is almost impossible for a machine. It would seem that the road between the two largest cities in the county should be kept ir good condition. Bisbee and Douglas sup ply the larger part of the money to run cochise county and while it would not be right to say that the people of these cities are entitled to more for their money than other sec tions of the county, stil it Is right to say that there Is no excuse for failure to keep this road in good condition.
 Attention was called to this road some time ago and afterwards it was reported that the supervisors had agreed to have the needed repa::s made. This repa.r work seems to have not been attended to. The mat ter should be attended to now, be- cause of it's absolute necessity. Many of the citizens of both Douglas and Bisbee frequently desire to go over this road with their automobiles and the road should be kept in good con tion.
