President Taft devoted his princi-
pal address in Milwaukee al the State
fair Friday to the subject of postal
savings banks, which he strongly en-
dorsed before a large and enthusias-
tic gathering that overhowed the
grandstand. The President said
that the postal savings bank plank
in the Republican platform bound
everybody who calls himself n Repub-
lican. 1.-The great usefulness of the
postal savings bank is the great en-
couragement to thrift on the part of

balance whether they shall save the
money or use it, because they do not
know where they can put it Safely

The President on the Tariff Bill

The President on the Tariff Bill.
At Winona, Minnesota, Friday the
President in a speech made the most
important utterance he has made
since his occupancy of the White
House. He was in the hotbed of the
msurgent' movement within the
Republican party, but defended the
Payne tariff bill as the best
measure ever passed by a Republican
Congress and hence the best tariff
bill the people have even known.
The President boldly asserted that
the insurgents, who voted against
the bill, had abandoned the Republi-
can party.
WAS it the duty of the member of
Congress who believed that the bill
did not accomplish everything that it
ought to accomplish, to vote against
itf y asked the President.
1 am here to justify those who say
swer this question in the negative. I
am not here to defend those who
voted for the Payne bill. but to sup
port them
There is nothing quite so diff
cult said the President. "as the dis
cussion of tariff bill for the reason
that II covers SO many different items
The meaning of the terms and the
percentage are most difficult to un-
derstand. The passage of new bill.
especially where n change in the
method of assessing the duties has
been followed, presents an oppor-
tunity for various modes and culcu-
lations of the percentages of increas,
es and decreases that is really most
misleading. or reall: throws no light
at all upon the changes made.
lone way of stating what was
done is to say what the facts show
that under the Dinelay law there
were 2,O24 items. This included duti.
able items only. The Payne law leaves
l.l5O of these items unchanged. There
are decreases in 654 of the items and
increases in 229 of the items. Now
of course. that does not give full
picture, but ii does show the proper
ton of decreases to have been three
times those of the increases.

BIC fire AT
PORTSMOUTH,VA.
SeabOard Air Line StOrehOuSe
and Freight Cars Burned.
FOUR FIREMEN INJURED

Tremendous Explosion Blew Building
to Pieces and Endangered Ewes of
Fire Fighters-shock Was Felt Five
Miles Away.
Portsmouth, Va, May 17.-Fire of
unknown origin, accompanied by an
explosion, destroyed the general store
house of the Seaboard Air Line rail-
way at the railroad terminal here, en-
failing a loss of from $4,000 to $780,
600 and resulting in the injury of four
men, one being seriously hurt.
Between fifty and sixty freight cars,
many of them loaded, also were con-
sumed.
The fire gained rapid headway, and
for a time it appeared that all of the
buildings located in the Seaboard's re-
pair and construction yards would be
consumed. Soon after the Portsmouth
fire department arrived on the scene a
tremendous explosion within the store
house, a brick structure followed by
several smaller ones, sent bricks and
burning timbers flying in every direc-
ton, greatly endangering the lives of
the fire fighters and others who had
gathered on the scene.
Whether it was large tank of acid
or a quantity of dynamite stores used
in construction work on the railroad
which exploded is a matter of doubt,
but the shock which ensued from the
first explosion was selt within a ra-
dius of five miles, even rafting win
dows in Norfolk. on the opposite side
of the Elizabeth river. The officials
of the company attribute the explo-
sions to a quantity of stored torpe-
does
The burned store house contained
general supplies for the entire Sea-
board system, and the loss upon the
building and its contents alone is put
at $50, 900. The fire was confined to the
store house and cars, the latter being
ignited from the burning timbers of
the store house, hurled upon the roofs
by the force of the explosion.
