General Rafael Reyes, whose feslg-
nation was accepted today by the Co
lombian Senate, succeeded Senior Mar
rouuin by election in January, 1905. UP
to the present year General Reyes ao-
ministration was characterized by a
firmness of policy that did more imam
anything else to rehabilitate the IL
nances of the republic and estabnsii
peace Although formerly ldentifled
with the Conservatives, or Clerical par
ty, General Reyes adopted some of the
principles of the Liberals, when
aroused the bitter enmity of the Con-
servatives. His most radical departures
from the policies of his predecessors
were the separation of the church ana
state and the establishment of capital
punishment for treason.
General Reyes quietly left for Eu-
rope last month. At that time 1t was
reported that he had abandoned once
and it was openly asserted that either
his voluntary resignation from office OF
revolutionary coup was the only So

81 a dozen, 81 a dozen; valued at more
tlian $l2 a dozen, 80 per cent, ad valorem.
The schmachen glove, of sheep origin,
which is the cheapest glove manufacture
ed, was made dutiable at 81 a dozen.
This is a heavy reduction from the
House rates which made all gloves duit
able at 81 a dozen and is even less than
the Senate rate of 1925 and the Dingey
rate of $1.75 per dozen. The conferees
adopted an amendment which cuts in hair
the duties of 40 cents a dozen pairs pro-
vided by the Dingley law for gloves of
certain stitching or when lined or fin
isEed adding to the ordinary value.
An unusual spectacle was witnessed in
connection with the adjustment of the
glove rates. Former Rep Littauer of
New York, the largest glove manufac-
turer in this country, was admitted to
the conference chamber, where he made
an earnest appeal for the retention of the
rates named by the House. AS a result
OF the hearing given to Mr.. Littauers
demand for q similar hearing was made
by Kenneth Barnhart, manager for Mar
shall & Co, Chicago, the largest import
ers of gloves in this country. These men
have been in the corridors of the Senate
office building looking after their interests
for several days. They are on opposite
sides of the question. Figuratively the
two opponents were taken into the con-
ference chamber and made to don their
gloves and spar an exhibition. Mr.. Lit
tauer weighed at least 80 pounds more
than Mr.. Barnhardt, but it was not stat
ed whether that fact in any manner ac-
for the decision. Unquestionably
the session today was the busiest of the
three weeks the bill has been in confer
enCe.
