Tariff Committee May Not BE Able
to Complete Its Duties for Several
Days.
Washington, July 2s.-Another
hitch has occurred in the tariff con-
ference which seems likely to delay
the report for several days, at least
beyond the expectation of receiving
1t tomorrow.
In order to bring the Western Sen
ators in line for free hides Ii was
necessary for the conferees to retain
the Senate duty of $50 on lumber
This trading OF hides for lumber as
a sop to the West Is not only op.
posed by the President, but is OBJ
jected to by the House.
Members of the House have TAX
en- up the issue with the President
and told him that the lower body
will not agree to anything more thar
SLIPS ON lumber. Neither is Mr.
Taft satisfied with the higher rate or
gloves and hosiery. It is these three
articles which are now delaying tn,
| reporting of an agreement. The sit
uation Is complicated, in view OF thu
fact that President Taft is supporting
| the House members in lower dutie,
on lumber, and opposing them IL
higher rates on gloves and hosiery.

SHOULD REFORM CUBA.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer thinks
it is no business of the United States
to interfere with Cuban affairs. That
paper is of the opinion that If the
Cubans want to gamble and be i'm
moral and generally disreputable
that it is none of our business, and
that they should be left alone to
work out their own salvation or de-
struction. Cuba may be an unde-
sirable ward, but the people of this
country have too much at stake In
Cuba not to be interested in that
country's welfare. It is a rich coun-
try and thousands of Americans are
now living there, and others who
are living In the States have inter
ests In the Island and are. therefore
interested In its welfare. If Cuba is
so bad we should try to get her In
the paths OF rectitude. which would
not only help the Cubans but also
help the thousands of Americans who
have cast their lot in that Island.

CRYING OVER "sPILT MILL"

The Maxton Scottish Chief says
that II the Democrats In Congress
had let the Republican tariff bill
alone. and introduced a bill as an
amendment thereto embodying the
principles laid down in the Democrat
ic platform, that the Democrats could
have attended to the Republicans at
the next election for not sticking to
their platform. The editor of the
Scottish Chief Is wasting valuable
time weeping over "spilt milk" OF
course the Democrats should have
stood by platform pledges, as they
are supposed to have been elected on
those issues. The Democratic plat
form particularized and specified GER
tain articles for the free list, and yet
many OF the members went directly
opposite to their pledges and sup
ported the ultra-protectionist on
many Of the schedules contained In
the tariff bill. The Republicans did
not promise to lower the duty on any
special article, but simply promised
to revise the tariff. OF course. II
was understood by the people that
they meant to lower the duty on
some articles, and while the Senate
bill is a high protection bill, we YET
have hopes that many of the SEIZED.
ules will be reduced before it finally
becomes law. Even If the Senate
bill should pass the Democrats are
In worse hole than the Republi
cans. They had named certain artt
cles on which they favored a reduc
ton and then not only failed to In
troduce bill to carry out their plat
form pledges, but even voted witt
the Interpretations for a still
greater rate on said articles. If tn.
Democrats hope to have any issue II
the next campaign they will have t.
look up something besides the tariff.

Baltimore, July 27.-United States
Senator VIM. ]. Stone, of Missouri,
was for a short time under arrest at
the Central Police station here this
evening charged with assaulting
Lawrence J. Brown, a negro porter
on a buffet car. Police Lieutenant
Gle telephoned Magistrate Grammar

Stone on his own recognizance for a
hearing at 3 o'clock tomorrow after
noon. The Senator stated that when
he ordered lunch in the buffet car
Brown was offensive and he rebuked
him. The man afterward failed to
serve the Senator, and was again re-
buked, was impertinent, whereupon
the Senator says he struck him in the
face with his fist.
