San Sebastian, via French Frontier,
July 31.-Commander Burgos and his
army corps have arrived at Bilbao,

tionists will succeed.
The entire army is being placed on
war footing. Recruits and reserves of
every class have been called out. In
spite Of reports from Madrid, direct re-
liable private reports from Barcelona
say the revolutionists still hold much
of the city and that the artillery has
been unable to dislodge them.
The captain general of Barcelona to-
day sent the following official tele-
gram to the governor general of Ger
ona, which province. adjoins that of
Barcelona:
II have the honor to inform you
that order has been completely re-es-
tablished at Barcelona. There are

Washington, July 31-The democrat
DC senator's speech on the tariff bill in
main will be of an hour or less. and
unless some small group shall decide
TO undertake hold-up, there will be
none. The insurgent republicans are
still undecided about their course. Sem
htor Cummins was summoned to
luncheon at the White House today,
and the insurgents agreed to take no
action till after his return, when thew
will meet later in the afternoon and
receive his report on the executive at
Hitude and decide what to do.
Three former insurgents, Burkett.
Brown and Crawford, will vote for the
conference report Two, LaFollette and
Brtstow, will vote against it. The other
tive, Cumnins, Dolliver, Clapp, Nelson
and Beveridge, are determined to stick
together If 1t is possible and to vote
either for or against the measure as a
unit. Their final decision will depend
largely on the assurance which Sena-
tor Cummfns brings from the White
House.
'If 1t were merely a matter of con-
Germ to me personally" said Senator
Cummins, IT could decide it, as I be-
lieve the bill is on the whole rather
worse than when 1t passed the SEN
ate Perhaps that is too strong. How
ever, I have not had an Opportunity to
examine all of the harm to THE moye-
ment for ultimate results, and that is
what we realize we must keep in
mind"
The conference report on the tariff
bill Will be debated thoroughly by the
democratic members of the senate. A
decision ITO this effect was reached to-
day at a short conference of the mi
nority. The southern democrats are
especially displea!sed over the failure
of the conferees to retain cotton bag
ging on. the free list.

Several Cars Are Penalized on Fina
Days Run.
Kansas City, July 31.-The final days
run in the tour of the American Auto
mobile Association from Detroit to this
city via Denver. a. distance OF over
$500 miles, proved the hardest in the
whole tour. as we'll as the longest.
For 212 miles the cars plowed thru
Kansas mud. the result of heavy thun-
der showers, and the drivers had to
exert themselves to the utmost to bring
their machines thru on time. The
schedule of twenty miles an hour was
maintained in spite of road conditions.
AS q result of the hard going several
of the cars We're penalized. two of them
proving to be cars that up to the last
day had maintained perfect scores. One
of these. the Lexington, that had been
one of the leaders for the Glidden
trophy, broke wheel near this city
and had to borrow another to bring 1t
in. This disqualifies tho car from the
run.
The other car to spoil Its record was
the Chalmers -Detroit in the Hover
trophy contest. This car also had wheel
trouble plowing thru the deep ruts, and
lost points.
The cars after checking in were
turned over to the technical committee
In Convention hall covered with mud
Only five of them in the Glidden di-
vision are left perfect. The two Pierce
Arrows driven by Walter Winchester
and Teddy Dey, X. the two premiers
manned by Webb Jay and H H. Ham
mond, and the Marmon driven by How
ard Marmon.
In the Hover division but three are
perfect, the two Pierces of the runabout
type, driven by Ralph Williams and
Schofield, and the Moline, driven by f
A. Wicke The pathfinders car that left
Salina an hour ahead of the contest
ants was the first to arrive here at l.
1t was followed a minute after by Will
liams' Pierce runabout, and then came
the other three Pierces in order The
fifth car was the Midland and then the
Marmon driven by Frank Wing OF
Boston.
The technical committee will begin
its work at once. but the work will not
be completed until Sunday night al
least. If the contest is close the com
mittee may ask the drivers to take
their cars out and put them thru few
stunts for them in the way of hill
climbing and brake tests.

repair man, letter being received
from Mexico City, purporting ITO come
from a French banker imprisoned in
that city. The details of the letter re-
ceived by him were thrilling enough to
satisfy the most morbid Diamond Dick
fiend. The banker entreated Main to
come to his aid and get trunk out OF
the hands of the authorities. which
contained papers worth $336,000. He
claimed to have heard of Main from a
business acquaintance, and for his as
sistance offered him third of the sum,

HOUSE HEARS REPORT.
obstructionists Compel Reading Of vo.
luminous Document

Washington, July 31.-Convening at
no o'clock the house today began con-
sideration of the conference report on
the tariff bill. AT the very outset
chairman Payne met with obstruction
at the hands of a republican insurgent,
Mondell, of Wyoming, who refused un
anfmous consent for the reading of t
statement Of the conferees in lieu of the
report. The reading Of the voluminous
report of seventy-six closely printed
pages was begun.
Fireworks Begins.
The reading had proceeded an hour
and twenty minutes when Payne OBJ
tadned unanimous consent that it be
dispensed with Dalzell, of Pennsyl-
wanna. from the committee on rules,
presented a resolution providing that
no provision In the bill should be SUBJ
3ect to point of order, and that gen.
eral debate should continue not later
than O'clock tonight, whereupon the
conference report should be voted on.
Dalzell said the rule was made neces-
sary by the action of the conferees in
creating entirely new rates on leather
and leather goods.
Answering the query by Clark, of
missouri, Dalzell declared there was no
item in the report on which the rate
was higher than the maximum rate in
either the house or senate bill on the
same item. Dalzell urged the adoption
of the report. Minority Leader Clark
regretted that boots, shoes, and harness
were not put in the free list, while
hides had been. The sincerity of the

Lonsworth UphoIds Taft Plan.
Representative Longworth, of Ohio,
In discussing the tariff bill in the house,
today spoke in advocacy of the cor
poration tax provision. He expressed
the belief that a substantial addition to
the revenue is necessary, not only for
the purpose of paying off the deficit,
hirt also to provide for a larger ex-
penditure than has hitherto been made
tor the improvement of our inland
waterways. He also predicted that it
will be the settled police of this govern
ment hereafter to tax certain sources
pf wealth which today pay no tax to
The government. In conclusion Long
worth said:
II believe that in evolving and ad-
Nocating the passage of this law the
president has redeemed in the fullest
measure his pledge that he would,
during his administration, proceed
along the paths blocked out by his pre-
decessor, and that he would use every
effort 70 bring to his policies their
fullest fraition.'
Splendid Ovation to Payne.
The rule was adopted almost unan-
fmously, the vote resulting: Yeas, s61;
hays, II.
Then Chairman Payne arose. The
reception accorded him by his republic
: can colleagues was most fiattering.
They cheered, and clappeds.their hands,
and thnnred their desks for several
