The close of the special tariff
session of Congress leaves the
Democrats with greater hope of
success in the next election than
they have cherished at any time
in the last twelve years. 1t has
often been said that no party
could revise the tariff without
mourning defeat and the leaders
believe this occasion will be no
exception to the rule The num-
Der of discontinued members of
both houses of Congress would
indicate a tremendous number of
discontinued constituents back
home" unless these members
fail wholly to reflect the views
of the people they are supposed
to represent. The opponents Of
free hides insist that their states
have been singled out becaus e
they have comparatively few
votes in Congress to be made the
shining example of tariff revis-
ion downward. They declare
that they will be defeated when
next they stand for election and
that Democrats will be chosen to
get even' with the New Eng
land Industries, which will profit
by free hides without making
adequate concessions in return.
The so-called progressives all
insist, and with a large share of
truth, that the revision is no re.
vision at all, that the people
have been led to expect cheaper
prices and elected q large Re
publican majority in the House
with that expectation, that they
are doomed to disappointment
and will punish those responsible
for that disappointment when
next they go to the polls. The
opponents of a tax on the net
earnings Of corporations insist
that it will prove inquisitorial
and obnoxious and that it will
forfeit to the Republican candi-
dates a large measure of that
financial support from favored
corporations without which their
continued success would have
been impossible. Adding these
three elements the leaders main
tain that there will be tremen-
dOus aggregate of discomfort and
that will mean a great falling off
in the Republican vote.

Katherine Elkins May YET Be

and this devotion set the other pass
engers wondering whether the Wash
ington gossips, who had predicted an
engagement between them were not
right
On the other hand there was consid-
cradle surmise whether all this was
not intended to veil carefully made
arrangements Dy which Miss Elkins
and her royal admircr might meet
again on this side of the water. Miss
Elkins seemed in the best of health
and spirits. and enjoyed the voyage
and Mr.. Hits society thoroughly.
Although Mrs. Elkins and her daugh-
ter tried their best to conceal their
identity there were several Washing
tonians aboard. including Baron Mon
cheur. the rtiring Belgian minister In
Washington and his two daughters. 50
the secret was soon out. After that
Miss Elkins and Mr.. Hit were the
chief centers of interest to their fcl.
low passengers at their infrcquent ap.
pearances in public. Their apparent
devotion to each other was the subject
of much comment. and II was general
~ agreed that the affection displayed
was rather more than childhood
friendship could account for.
Miss Elkins. her mother. Mrs. Hit
and Mr.. Hit did not leave the ship at
Dover. but came on here to Antwerp.
Mrs. Elkins brought with her to Eu-
rope her own motor car. and an Amer.

ants.

At meeting OF the .aats and

tauqua assembly. yesterday after
noon. contracts for the large auditor
ium tent and smaller tents to be used
by the campers were closed with the
Dayton company from which the Of.

secured the material. The committee
did not secure dining or cook tent.

will furnish his own this year.
viii BE Waterproof.
The large auditorium tent will be
the same one as used last year. The
committee has an iron clad guarantee
with the tenting firm that it is to be
absolutely waterproof. The smaller
tents to be used by the campers are
likewise to be thoroughly weather
proof. The sizes of the camping
tents are as follows: 9x12, 12x14 and
20x20 The price to be charged for
the two weeks camping privilege has
not been determined. 1t will probably
be the same as in the past, however
The grounds are to be fenced in
again this year and will be of the same
dimensions as last year. The work
on fencing in the grounds, hanging the
lights and other details will probably
begin a week before the Chautauqua
opens.

Antwerp, June 29.-Whcther Miss
Katherine Elkins is to become the
bride of young William Hit of Wash
ington. a son of former Congressman
Hit of Chicago. or whether the pur-
pose of her trip to Europe is that she
might meet her royal admirer. the
Duke Of Abruzxi, on this side of the
water, were the speculations which in
terested the big American colony here
when the daughter of the West Vir-
ginia senator arrived yesterday aboard
the steamship Lapland.
In company with Miss Elkins We're
her mother. Mrs. Hit and young Hit.
who was her constant companion dur

To avoid the opportunities of re
porters when she was sailing from
New York, Miss Elkins. who was trav-
cling with her mother and a retinuc
of servants. secluded herself in her
cabin, and her name and that Of her
mother were kept off the passenger
list
During the voyage while Mrs. Elk

Hit, of Washington, widow of the
former Chicago congressman. came
regularly to her meals in the dining
saloon Miss Elkins seldom left her
cabin. took her meals on deck when
every one else was below and always
