The question now. is. what will the
senate do to the Tnmlinson bill when
it gets to that body for pa ssage- It IS
the general belief that it will strike
out the two amendments that were
put into the bill IN the house for the
purpose OF saving Steve F1eming's
suburban saloons In Allen county and
the Cook brewery suburban saloons
in vanderburg county. As the bill
stands now it is q victory for the
Fleming idea, but whether it can get
through the senate in its present form
cannot be told. But II the senate cuts
out the amendments. which permit

Now Face Bitter Time.

Pittsburg, Aug. 23.-Three columns of
smoke floated lazily from the chimneys
of the Pressed Steel Car Co.'S. plant in
Schoenvlle tonight.
These mute signals told better than
official pronounciamentoes that the
striking employees of the car plant have
yet to wait long to win their fight
against the Car Co. officials, for the
plant was still in operation despite the
wild efforts of Infatuated mobs to scare
off the imported workingmen during
the past "a hours. Tonight the strik-
ing men realized for the first time that
their jobs were no more: that the COM
pany could do without them, and that
they no longer were wanted within the
big gates of the car plant. The women
and children of the strikers grasped the
situation as soon as the men and tho
idea of starvation and eviction with
winter coming on caused walls of an
guish in many strikers cottage.
Forty State police are on their way
here tonight to augment the company
of mounted constables now on duty at
the car plant. Since last nights car
mage these fearless cavalrymen have
evinced desire to strike fear into tho
hearts of the men who took their COM
rades' lives. The strikers realize that
the mounted troopers are more than a
match for them. Yet, all during tho
day. these troopers have been subjected
to. abuse from house windows and doors
whenever they CHANGED to pass a strike
sympatbizer's home.
In retaliation not a striker or q SYM
pathizer left his door step today but lld
vas halted and searched Besides the
searching the troopers insisted on ex-
ainining the bodies of the strikers and

Beverly, Mass. Aug. 23.-Presldent
Taft's grasp on the shaft of the golf
club ana the side of the automobile
was considerably frnier today than on
the reins of government, although he
found time to glance over his morning
mail, discussed few questions of state
with his secretary of the treasury and
pass smilingly and unscathed through
the bi-weckly inquisition of the news
paDeamcn. He saw no one of import
ance, not even an anxious delegation
from Dallas, Tex, who made long
and unfruitful journey to obtain the
Presidents consent to lengthen his stay
in that city until the morning light
should break.
The most important news items OF
the day were the announcement that
Editor Frank A. Musgrove of Hano-
yer, n. H., would be appointed census
supervisor for that state. the definite
statement that there would be no dip
lomatc changes until after Congress
convened, the expected arrival Thurs
day Of Senator Nelson w. Aldrich of
Rhode Island to discuss the report of
the monetary commission and the in
timation that the administration was
prepared to defend to the last ditch or
the last back-platform speech, it's rec
ord on the recent tariff legislation.
The appointment of Mr.. Musgrove,
who is the editor of the Hanover Ga
zette, is regarded as conciliating that
faction of the party in the Granite
state which was opposed to Editor
George H. Moses, recently made minis
ter to Greece. No other appointment
was announced.
ANY report Of immediate changes in
some of the foreign embassies is dis
Outraged, although Ambassador Reid
Will see the. President on Friday and
will probably have a few words to say
regarding the attitude of the British
government toward this government at
the present time and it's wishes as to
the next American representative to

1 Mr.. Reid wished to visit Beverly
Thursday, but that day was already
set for the coming of Senator Aldrich,
who will go over with the President
and. Sec. MacVeagh a portion of the
report of the monetary commission. 1t
is understood that the report is in a
more complete form than even the
President expected and it is possible
that it viii be in shape by the time
| Senator Aldrich returns from his four
weeks trip to Europe. He will sail from
| New York Saturday. 1t is probable
that the Senate leader will also discuss
other financial matters with the Pres
| ident and the secretary of the treasury,
but no intimation was given today of
! the nature of such debate.

Made blythe Torpedo Boat
Destroyer F|usser.
Fastest Craft Of the Kind in
Uncle Sans Navy.
Like Many Other Filters, She Was
Built at Bath, Maine.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Remarkably
high speed was made by the torpedo
boat destroyer Flusser in her contrac-
tors preliminary trial in a run off the
Rockland course last week.
The vessel scored BLOB knots per
hour, her contract requirements con-
templating but % knots.
Without examining the records the
officials say they believe this to be the
fastest speed ever made by an Amer
can naval torpedo boat destroyer, pre-
vious records being around 80 knots
per hour.
Foreign built vessels, however, have
reached a speed of SO or more knots
per hour.
The Flusser is being constructed at
the Bath, Me, iron Works, where Capt.
William n. Little is the inspector in
charge of machinery.
