to apply the minimum rates to any
country or section of country by pro-
clamation. 1t provides for duty of 5
cents on coffee and 10 cents on tea inn
ported from countries to which the
maximum rates are applied. The Sec
ton also gives the president power to
employ a tariff commission.
The senate's retalitatory provision is
practically a reversal of that originally
placed in the Payne bill. Instead of
maximum rates applying automatically
against the country which discrimi-
mates In its tariff laws against the
products of the United States, the
finance committee substitute makes the
maximum rates applicable to all coun-
tries after March 81, 1910 and then
gives the president power to apply the
minimum rates to those countries
which give the United States equal
concessions with other countries.
AT the meeting of the finance COM
mittee at which the decision to report
the amendment was reached. there was
a full attendance of members The
democrats contented themselves with
announcing their opposition to the
provision. but made no effort to pre-
vent its being reported to the senate.
large number of other admnistra-
tive features was agreed upon and will
be reported by the senate later.

cause of the trouble.
South of Ninetieth street from the

inhabitants of the neighborhood were

full that each successive storm burst
would mean the demolishing Of their
homes.
With electric light and power wires
blown to the ground and the streets
and houses flooded with water inhab-

of the Western Union service were in
a ditch between Lemont and Rome3-

Chicago, Apri! so.-storm condi-

Chicago, April 3o.-storm condi-
tions in this vicinity are somewhat
improved early today, aItho show
ers and thunder storms, turning
to snow fiurries and colder, with
westerly gale, are predicted for the
next twenty-four hours. Telegraph
companies expect to have their
lines repaired in that time, but lack
Of communication with many
points in the middle west leaves
the extent Of the damage done still
in doubt.
That the destruction has been
widespread, involving the loss Of
scores Of lives and much stock and
other property, is evidenced from
reports from the south and SOUTH
west. Stories of deaths in Tennes-
see and Arkansas, in what is
known as "cyclone beIt," have been
reported. Wires are down in Iowa,
Missouri and Kansas, and central
Illinois and the northwest are par
alyzed as regards transportation
and communication. Telegraph
service between the great news
centers is still hampered, and early
improvement Is problematieaI.
South Of Louisville conditions
are particularly bad, that section
pf country evidently having suf-
fered more severely than any other.
In the south snow has held up
train service and gale on the
lakes has hampered shipping to a
considerable extent.

the illinois Central as to the report

county, Miss, had been wiped out

way Of ascertaining the truth or
falsity Of the report, as all their
wires were prostrated. There were
q no wires for the dispatching of
trains carly, altho hope was ex-
pressed that patch work service
might be restored before night.
The Chicago and Alton, two of
whose trains were stalled last
night, reported that traffic is being
handled on normal basis today,
aItho their wires had suffered.
