Gratis and Republicans would form com
blnatIons, as some Southern Democrats
and some Northern Republicans are
now doing to keep the duty upon lum-
Der, In short it would mean a long
hard fight in the House, many weary
days of debating, before the last page
of the bill could be reached and a final
vote taken.
Special Rules Is the Practise.
The accepted practise of considering
such bills in the House is to work un-
der a special rule, reported by the
Committee on Rules, fixing limit up
on general debate and also designating
time for a vote. The Dingley bill
was passed that way, after few days
of consideration AS matter of fact
the bill was hardly given considera-
tom in the House. The reading never
proceeded farther then the end of the
first section, that covering the chemi-
cal schedules. Thereupon, after the
few days of general debating, which
covered evening sessions, the House
simply voted to ratify the work the
Ways and Means Committee had done.
Speaker Cannon has two reasons for
having the tariff revised on the floor
of the House. If the revision should
be unpopular, the blame would fall up
on the entire Republican majority, not
upon the Ways and Means Committee
and the House leadership, all of which,
from the public standpoint, narrows
down to t he Speaker himself. Sec
ondly, if the Speaker and his lieuten-
ants should attempt TO jam revision
bill through the House, there is no
telling what the kickers' about the
rules might be able to do.
There are twenty-nine of them, of
whom six were not reelected. There
is a chance that some Republicans who
take the places of these six, will have
similar ideas about reforming the rules.
At any rate the Republican majority
in the next House will be but forty
seven and it is quite within the prob
abilities that there will be more than
twenty-four Republicans who would
join with the Democratic minority to
vote down special rule for the revi-
sion bill. That bill will naturally have
some provisions which will be disap.
proved by various Republicans. And
while the spirit of the insurrectionists
in the House has been broken and
Speaker Cannon will likely be able to
have the old rules readopted, the situa-
tion is too ticklish for him to cham
pion any "gag rule for tariff revi-

White Slave Case Decided.

Chicago, July 20,-Ella Gingles was
cleared by jury this morning from
the charge of stealing lace, but the
story she told on the witness stand
of being a white slave" victim was
denounced as untrue The verdict
was fitting climax to the series
of sensations that have followed the
little Irish laoemaker This was the
form: I'VE, the jury, find the de-
PENDANT not guilty and we, the jury,
further find that the charges made
against Miss Agnes Barrette were un-
founded and are untrue" The basis
of the defense made by the Gingles
girl, who was on trial for stealing
lace from Miss Barrette, was that she
and others had attacked and mistreat-
ed her in the Wellington hotel on two
occasions last winter and that the OBJ
ject of these attacks and the animus

CINNERS' COTTON REPORT

Memphis, Tenn. July 20.-J. A.
Tr lag lar, president of the National Gin
ners' Association, Monday afternoon
issued the following special report ON
the cotton crop: Reports from about
half our correspondents under aver
age date of 10th, indicate condition
of u and under. This is the lowest
condition ever known at this date.
Some sections of Alabama show slight
improvement, but others show dete-
rioration. Texas shows deterioration
ON account of severe drouth and hot
since those reports, but in most cases
have come too late, as reports show
that cotton has stopped growing in
most sections and is shedding forms
and small bolls. 1t is the coneensus
of opinion that rains now will only
make the plant shed NOR reapidly
and there is very little chance to
make a crop from the new growth
on account of the weeVil. Heavy
rains in Georgia and the Carolinas
have caused a small loss in eondi-
ton in that section. Oklahoma shows
considerable loss in about half the
state due to hot, dry weather, the
other half about holds its own. Re-
ports from the weevil district are
that the damage being done now is
very much less than in June, but
with rains the damage will increase.
