Washington, Aug. 5.-Insofar as
congress can make It so the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill Is a law and the
Dingley law is to the same extent out of
date. Final congressional act was con-
sumrnated when at a few minutes past
2 O'Clock today the vice president an
nounced that by the decisive vote of
~ to 81 the senate had adopted the
conference report on the measure
which accomplished the final passage
Of the bill by the senate. AS the
measure had already passed the house
the senate's action was the finishing
touch and nothing more was left to
be done to make the bill a law but for
the president to attach his name.
Leaders Wind Up Debate.
Debate ON the bffF was closed FOR tne
democrats by Senator Bailey and for
the republicans by Senator AIdrich.
The discussion today was earnest hut
good-natured. The bill has been be-
fore congress since March 1s, when 1t
was first reported to the house. The
bill has been in the senate since April
IL.
As reported from the conference, the
measure covered 462 bill pages and
almost every article entering into
American foreign commerce is af-
fected by it. Pairs on the bill were as
follows. Those for it being first men
toned;
Briggs with Johnson, Billingham
with Tillman. Gallinger with Taylor,
Nixon with Owen. Richardson with
Clarke ARK, Warren with Money,
and McEnery with Davis.
To Correct Leather Schedule.
Washington, Aug. 5.-The senate will
vote this afternoon at o'clock on the
conference report of the tariff bill. II
Is expected that the measure will be
agreed to by practically the same vote
as sent the bill to conference.
Immediately following the adoption
of the conference report, concurrent
resolution intended to correct the
leather and hide schedule will be
brought before the body. In the house
the rule will operate to secure imme-
diate adoption.
Quick action during he day appears
TO be characteristic of the pro-
gramrne as arranged The enrolling
clerks elect no time after authority is
given them in making the necessary
corrections In the text. The bill will
then be ready for the signature of the
presiding officers of the two houses,
after which 1t will, go with celebrity to
the president for his signature.

means of an amendment to the agrf-
cultural appropriation bill. Hans
brough's efforts failed because the
senate at that time conceded the

MEN WERE
RAKES IN
HIS DAY
That Is Gertrude Ather-
tons Defense of Alex
ander Hamilton

San Francisco, May 4.-AleXander
Hamilton, whose memory was assailed
in the senate yesterday by Senator
Johnson, has stout defender in Ger
trude Atherton, the novelist, who made
him the hero of her novel, THE Con-
queror." In statement issued this
morning, the authoress makes the fol
lowing reply to the structures of the
North Dakota senator:
Really, this Senator Johnson is too
insignificant to deserve notice. He is
probably ridiculous radical Jcffer-
sonian Democrat. no doubt talking for
the benefit of his constituents-they
always are when they say things of
this sort.
II don't believe he cares two cents
about the character of Alexander Ham
ilton. 1t is more than likely that he
doesn't know anything about Hamil-
ton. He is the sort of dog who thinks
this a good chance TO have his yelp
heard
''As to Alexander Hamilton being
rake. we'll, every man was rake In
his time. That was the convention of
the time and il was perfectly accept
ed everywhere, In these days it hap
pens to be the convention not to be
rakiSh, but whether OF not men arc
less rakish Alexander Hamilton was
a great man"
