Small Duty On Hides and
Iron Ore on the Free List
Light Duty on Coal.
ALL DISPUTES WILL
BE SETTLED TODAY
Lumber Entered at $t25 Per
Thousand Coal at As
Cents a Ton.


Washington, July 24:-The tariff
bill is satisfactory in most respects to
the President and it is now believed
sion of congress will probably end
August A.
Senator Aldrich is confident the
conferees will complete their deliber-
ations tonight. The bill will be print
ed with all the conference committee
changes. Tomorrow and Monday the
democratic conferees, heretofore left
in the cold, will be asked to peruse
the completed measure.
1t Is expected the democrats will
make careful examination In order
to make their record clear when the
measure is presented in the House
and Senate.
Rough Edges smoothed of.
All except the actual conferees were
excluded from the chamber, and it
was agreed that discussions leading
1 up to settlement of any of the sub
jects familarly termed national is
sues should be regarded as confiden-
tial. All of the conferees ~ that
the feelings entertained fer eaSh other
are more pleasant than they had been
for many days.
Senator Aldrich had reports from
many western senators protesting
against the removal of the duty on
hides or reduction below 10 per
cent ad valorem. The only terms on
which the western senators would
consent to consider the abolition Of the
duty involved the removal Of the duty
on leather goods.
1t is understood that the Rhode
Island senator said that there was no
use In reporting to the senate some
thing that stood no chance for adop-
ton and that the hide interests and
| the shoe interests must get together
and make concessions IL an agreemen.
was to be reached.
After the duty has been fixed on
hides and leather goods little difficulty
is apprehended in reaching an agree
ment to put oil on the free list and in
compromising upon duty of about
40 cents ton on coal, q rate of 81 %
a thousand feet on rough lumber, with
proportionate differentials, and a rate
Of about SO ton on print paper. Iron
ore is expected to give more trouble
than any of these subjects except
hides.
Iron Ore May GO on Free List.
Many senators think little objection
will be made to placing iron ore on the
free list, and this question generally IL
regarded as good as settled. Senator
Burrows is making a stubborn fght
for the retention Of the senate rate OF
% cents a ton on iron ore, and he IL
| said to be confident that he will pre-
vent the abolition of the duty. 1t IL
| difficult to predict whether the senate
rate will remain, whether the ore will
be made free or whether rate will
be fixed In the vicinity of 10 cents
ton.
There is disappointment over the
house adjourning until Tuesday. as
| that action makes 1t impossible for the
conferees to make report before
then. Representative Dwight of New
York, the house whip" will be held
responsible If there is any delay.

AUTO OWNER NEEDS NO
LICENSE IN new YORK

Albany, July 24:-An opinion Of
considerable interest to autouf5esl q
owners throughout the state was rem
dered BY Acknowledgement O'Malley
to the secretary OF state yesterday, in
which he held that there is no pro-
vision of law requiring the owner of
a motor car or any member of his
family to procure chauffeur's Ii
cense before running such machine.
The Encouragement points out
that the only requirement Of the law
is that chauffeur procure such IL
|cense and that the word chauffeur is
defined by the law as any person
operating a motor vehicle as mechan-
ic, employe or for hire" This does
not include the owner or any member
of his family, and therefore there is
nothing requiring such persons to
procure license.

The Bermuda Islands are the most
beautiful of pleasure resorts. Col
umns could be written on their
charms. 1t was Tom Moore, the
great Irish poet, who sang of Bermu-
da as These leafy isles upon the
ocean thrown, like studs Of emerald
Ger a silver zone" Many equally
enthusiastic but less gifted ones have
re-echoed his praises. Moore lived
there In 1904, and his house at Wal
singham is shown, and is said to be
one of the oldest private residences
in Bermuda.
That these lovely islands were
deeply appreciated by the impression
able Irish bard is evident from his
verses:
Could you but view the scenery fair
That now beneath my window lies,
You'd think that nature lavished
there
Her purest wave, her softest skies.
But bless the little fairly isle,
How sweetly, after all our Ills,
We saw the sunny morning smile
SereDely Ger it's fragrant hills.
Moore's "Sunborn Isles" we're IA
/ nous long before he became their
poet laureate. One quaint old chron-
Iicler, writing In 1910, says: 1T is In
truth the richest, healthfulest and
the most pleasing tthe quantity and
bigness thereof considered), and
merely natural as ever man sat foot
upon"
The group known as the Bermuda
Isles lie 900 miles east by southeast
from New York, and the group is
some twenty-five miles in length. and
there are four principal islands con-
nected by bridges, and large num-
ber of smaller islets. Ocean breezes
sweep them by day and by night,
making the climate an ideal one for
the recuperation and rest. Cool In
summer and warm in winter. de-

New EneIand is Never Lost.

Senator Stephen B. Eikins OF West Vir-

land in the tariff controversy, and open
IL declares thst this section controls the
government. Not the first time, surely.
Then be wakes sarcastic and says. "We
could set New England down in the
midst OF the Middle West and she would
be lost" All, Senator, there is where
you begin TO trip. New England has
been set down ia he midst Of the Middle
West many and many a time stree the
days when the Middle West was sinply a
range for lndians sud q wallowing place
for budaloes. and she has never been lest
yet. She has been set down there ia the
persons OF her children ard her chifdren's
children TO the third generation. and she
was not lost. She made the Middle
West, Senator, and set it I'D ia business.
She sent specimens OF her best brains and
blood and Drawn there for years and
years and they developed the country and
transplanted for its foundations the grand
old principles of civil liberty and high
minded ideals Of society that were learned
back in the old New England town meet
ing. With the gift OF some magic that
is only possessed by the good things that
must not be permitted to perish. old
Mother New England has multiplied her
self many times in her children, and
there is more and better left than has
ever yet been weaned.
You cannot set New England down
anywhere and lose her, Senator. You
can set her down and run away. But
every place where she is set down she
makes her own, and you will all be glad
to wander back to see her and feast on
her bounties, material and political. on

have been changed, the rates have been
lowered en- articles of necessity and ad-

are commendable, and one would think
that with the present almost complete abb

tion bill could be framed up along these
lines and speedily passed.
But trouble arises the moment q single
