BROWN and ALDRICH CLASH
Junior Nebraska Senator Succeeds in
Gaining Point.
WANTS DUTY ON PUMICE sToN1
Senator Gamble of south DakOts
Goes TO Front for Mica Miners
and Has Duty Arranged
to Suit.
(From a staff correspondent.)


WASHINGTON, May a.-CSpecial Tele-
gram .)-senators Brown and Aldrich had
little brush this afternoon when para
graph 81 in the pending tariff bill was
reached This paragraph relates to the
duty on pumce stone. The committee on
finance proposed that pumice stone, wholly
or partly manufactured, shall be assessed
at the rate of Sc per ton; unmanufactured,
Is per centum ad valorem; manufactures
of pumice stone or of which pumice stone
is the component material of chief value
not specially provided for in this section,
S5 per centum ad valorem.
Senator Browns amendment provides n
duty of Il of cent per pound on unman-
ufactured purnice stone and q of cent
on manufactured Senator Brown, in ad-
dressing Mr.. Aldrich, said, rather tartly
that his amendment had been before the
committee for over week; that no action
had been taken and that he thought II
only fair that the committee should give
his amendment consideration before a vote
should be taken upon the schedule. Chair
man Aldrich tried to beg the question, but
Senator Brown was insistent and Chair
man Aldrich finally consented to pass over
the pumice stone schedule until tomorrow
and give Senator Browns amendment con-
sideration before final vote is taken
Gamble Wins Mica Duty.
Senator Gamble. in a brief statement
before the senate today, convinced Senator
Aldrich that a protective duty was needed
upon mining and production of mica. The
| paragraph relating to mica, as adopted
today IN the senate committee of th'
| whole assessed a duty of 5 cents pei
| pound on manufactured mica and 30 PEI
cent ad vslorem on such unmanufactursC
products as may be shipped into the Unitet
States. Further, on the imported article
cut or trimmed. 10 cents per pound Il
assessed and upon the rough product Q
per cent ad valorem. This tariff rate /
satisfactory to South Dskotans.
| II In an interesting fact. not general!
known, that during the past year over
| third of the production of mica in tn
United States was produced In South Da
kota. There Is now In operation at Gus
ter a large mica plant and another o
equal size will be put into operation withi
a few months. 1t is claimed that the pro
duction Of mica in South Dakota alon
will be sufficient 10 hereafter supply al
the mica necessary for electrical use 4
this country.
Senator Gamble pointed out that the I'm
portation of mica came almost entirel
from India and that last year such impor
tstions aggregated about 100000 pounds
as against a domestic production of 1000,
600 pounds. Under proper protection TN
production Of mica would be largely IN
creased in this country, Senator Gambl
| contended.
1t is learned that mica can be mine
and landed In this country from India a
a price just about equal TO the cost O
mere production 10 mica miners of thi
country.

Peavey Order

Commission Delays Time for Union
Pacific Elevator Allowance De-

WASHINGTON. May A,-An important
order was issued today by the Interstate
Commerce commission in what Is popu-
Iarly known as the Peavey elevator cases
a proceeding Instituted in the matter of al
lowances to elevators by the Union Pacific
railroad. It is directed that the original
order shall not become effective until jan
uary i, 1910, the time being extended six
months.
A similar order was issued In the cases
of the traffic bureau, Merchants exchange
of ST. Louis, against the Missouri Pacific,
the Chicago. Burlington g. Quincy, the
Rock Island the St. Louis & San Fran
cisco. and the Missouri. Kansas g. Texas,
the effective date OF the order In those
cases being extended to January l, 1910
A decision was handed down today by
the Interstate Commerce commission IN
what has come to be known az the Port
land gateway case. in which contention of
the travelling public for through routes and
Joint rates from eastern points via Port
land Ore. Is sustained. The roads which
were defendants in the proceeding are re-
ouired by order OF the commission TO es-
tablish before July /, 1909. through routes
and Joint rates, via Portland, and to main
tain them for at least two years.
BY the terms OF the decision, which Is
highly important to the travelling public
and to the western and northwestern rail-
roads the Northern Pacific, the Union Pa
ciflc lines and the Chicago e. Northwest
ern railway are ordered to join in the sale
of through passenger tickets between Seat
tie and other points In the Pacific north
west and eastern destinations vita Port
land, Ore. and to accord through facilities,
like the checking Of baggage, over this
route.
The commission holds that the right of a
railroad to control it's traffic by the max
ing of arrangements for through routes
and Joint rates for the handling of both
passenger and freight business is a thing
of value TO the railway which should he

Sunday Amusements and Religious
Education Taken Up.
CHANGES IN ADMINISTRATION
Plan to Consolidate Eight Boards Il
Be Considered.
WILL CAUSE LIVELY DEBATE
DR.. william Henry Roberts of Phil
adeIphia Reelected Stated Clerk,
a Position He Has Held
Twenty-SIx Years.

DENVER, Colo. May n-sunday amuse-
ments, the abolition of divorce and the
urgency OF religious education were the
subjects discussed by the general assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian church today.
Two other subjects which threaten TO
cause much parliamentary conflict the re-
port of the executive commission and the
report of the committee on administrative
agencies, were brought before the assembly
by DIR. J. ID. Moffatt. president of the
Washington and jefferson college of Pitts
burg and by former Moderator Dr. b. p.
Fullerton of st. Louis
DIR. Moffatt predicted that this session
would see the adoption of a plan whereby
the eight administrative boards of the
church would, to a large degree, be consol-
idated. The committee on administrative
agencies, of which he Is chairman has
recommended that each board seek legal
advice as to Its possible powers.
IL has been subject of comment in the
church that the administrative authority
has been too much scattered and 1t has
been the work OF the committee on ad-
ministrative agencies to formulate a plan
for consolidation. The subject was made a
special order for Monday afternoon.
The report of the executive committee
was championed by. DR.. Fullerton, who, as
, officio chairman of the committee. At his
suggestion this report, as well as others.
were printed for the information of the
commissioners.
This report occasioned several sharp en-
| counters. principally brought about by the
| objection of several commissioners TO the
| adoption OF a special report before the reg
| ular report had been acted on. DIR. Fuller
| ton then receded from his position and
agreed to have the printed report In the
hands of the assembly that II might be
| read by the commissioners before II is
made the subject of debate. Thus further
clashes were avoided. but there is every
indication that there will be some sharp
debate when the two reports are brought
up for final consideration.
DR.. William Henry Roberts of Phla-
/ delphia was reelected stated clerk, a DO
| sition he hae held for 96 years. and Judge
Charles s Holt of Chicag 90 was appointed
vice moderator.
| The report on religious education was dis
cussed informally at the pre-assembly con-
| ference of university and college workers.
| but was not officially submitted until to-
day.
This afternoons session was turned over
| to a celebration OF Calvins quadricenten-
NAL. The speakers were Rev. Henry Dosker
of the Kentucky Theological seminary, Rev
! William McKibben. president OF Lane
| Theological seminary, Cincinnati; Rev. s.

ARE NOT NATURAL ENEMIES.
Scientist Claims There 10 No Unborn
Antipathy Between the Cat and
the Mouse.

If anything in the entire animal
kingdom would seem to be a matter
of pure instinct, that thing is the
traditional antipathy of the cat and
mouse. Yet recent study of G. s.
Berry, made in Prof. Munsterberg's
laboratory at Harvard, shows pretty
clearly that a cat has no instructive
impulse to kill and eat mice-nor
the mouse any instructive fear of
cats. Berry finds that a mouse may
smell the nose of an inexperienced
cat, or even perch on its back, and
be quite safe, so long as it does not
run away.
For the instinct of the kitten is
to chase any small moving object
ball, spool, tail, mouse--indifferent-
ly. 1t is not the mouse that inter-
ests it, but the mouse in motion.
Some day, often by accident; the
kitten plays too roughly with its
captive, and discovers that there is
meat inside. 1t is well known that
cats specialize their hunting, some
catching mice, some squirrels, some
birds. 1t seems, in each case, to de-
pend on accidents of discovery. A
good mouser, then, is not cat with
a strong instinct for catching mice,
but one with strong habit Of doing
so.-McClure's.
