as adopted by the oonferees was Just as
he had understood It.
lie said that his understanding was that
the reduction on leather goods should be
made on those manufactures Of the hith-
erto dutlable hides and should not include
manufactures Of hitherto free hides.
Continuing. the president argued that
farmers wear shoes made Of the kind Of
hides that would pay the low duty and
that practically all harness is made from
dutiable leather, and therefore would be
reduced TO the 20 per cent ad valorem.

Appeals were made TO both senators to
support the conference report The con-
tention OF the range senators Is that
the president is in error, both as to the
hides from which farmers shoes are made
and concerning harness. After The west
erners had departed the conferees discussed
ways Of meeting the situation.
Representative Mccall Of MASSACHUSETTS
opposed applying the low rates on boots
and shoes to products other than those
which would be affected by the abolition
of the duties on hides. Others argued that
the westerners had been embarrassed BY
the misunderstanding TO such an extent
that they could not be expected to give
their support to the report on terms other
than those generally understood at the
time 1t was agreed to make hides free.
1t was realized that these senator's, aug
mented by the progressive republicans
opposed to the bill, could defeat the report
IL they were so inclined.
It was conceded that in order to. secure
the passage Of the report by a safe margin
the low rates on boots and shoes and har-
ness would have to be applied to calfskin
products as well to leather from a class

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Beginning its
consideration of the conference report on
the tariff bill by the tedious reading OF, that
document, which was insisted upon by the
senator's who proposed to see that, undue
haste is not exercised in the final passage
Of the measure, the senate dragged along
during nearly seven hours today without
accomplishing sny important ~results'a -. -
Numerous conferences were held among
senator's on both sides of the chamber
Developments in respect to the framing OF
the leather schedule in conference called
forth more interest than did the proceed
ings Of the day. Senators spent much time
discussing the language and effect of that
schedule. sE'
The debate on the conference report was
opened by Senator Daniel, who claimed that
the democratic senators on the finance
committee had been dealt with unfsirlv in
not being permitted to vote in committee
on the adoption OF the report. He claimed
that al agreement for that purpose entered
into by the chairman, Mr.. Aldrich. had
been violated. Any intentional violation
was disavowed by Mr.. Aldrich, who said
he could nut agree with Mr.. Daniel as to
what had occurred betW cen them. r.r.'
Senator Bristow Of Kansas denounced
the tariff bill as a violation OF the rs
publican pledges and announced that he.
would not vote for II.
In order to fix the responsibility OF the
two parties in the passage OF the bill ana
for framing its several schedules, Senator
Bacon presented an analysis OF the 1SI Yea
and nay votes that had been taken during
it's consideration. This list OF votes the
senate agreed to print in the record.

Before He Made Them Public,

Chicago, April 27-Peter Van Wis
singer, whose confession last winter
to the forgery of mortgages to the ex-
tent of 100000 caused a great sen
sation in Chicago where he had been
known for twenty years as the lead
ing real estate man, exploded a bomb
in the bankruptcy court here today
when he stated that his confession a
few months ago was anti dated by
four years by confession made pri-
vately to men who held 100000 of
his spurious papers. Van Vlissingen's q
face was pale and his hands trembled
as he told his story on the witness
stand today his every act plainly
showing the strain under which he
labored. His eyes were bloodshot
and his lips twitched as he faced the
counsel and recognized his former
friends among the spectators in the
crowded court room. The witness
stated that his forgeries had contin-
ued for twenty years, but that he did
not know the exact extent of them.

orders. Adam, the capital of the
province, has been the storm center.
Early last Wednesday morning, while
was in the market noticed the
Armenians we're closing their shops
and hurrying to their homes. An
Armenian and Turk had been killed
during the night and the corpses
were paraded through their respec-
tive quarters. The sight of the dead
inflamed the inhabitants and crowds
at once began to gather in the
streets, armed with sticks, axes and
knives.

we saw three Armenians who had
been massacred. Their bodies had
been mutilated. While we were in

Cleveland and Chicago today are to
the effect that nothing important has
been ascertained. 1t was said here
last night that an attempt will be
made in some manner to continue the
case against the woman until next
June.
A matter which may postpone the
trial of Mrs. Boyle was developed to-
day. The indictment against the wo-
man designates her as spinster and
also states that the kidnapping was
committed on April II, instead of
March is.
Mrs. Boyle gave out statement
today asserting that she had been
brought up according to the strict
tenets of the church of her parents
and that published stories as to her
having been married to several differ
ent men were untrue.

MURDERER NOT
YET LOCATED
Slayer of Mrs. James Still at
Large-Mystery Surrounds
Case

Winnipeg, April 27.-But one i'm
portant clue has come to light since
Saturday in connection with the mur-
der Of Mrs. Louise James at het home
on Dominion street Thursday after
noon. The track of muddy boot has
been found on the floor of the bed
room in front of the wash stand, and
on the sill of the bed room window
is second track, as If the man who
had committed the murder had es-
capped that way rather than go through
the rear door, where he would be in
full view from the Office of the Jubilee
green house. From there it is but a
short distance across to the Happy
land fence where couple of broken
boards would afford convenient ave-
nue. for gettir~ under cover. Though
the assertion was at first discounted,
there are now indications that Mrs.
James might have been outraged, and
it is expected that DR.. Bell will give
evidence on this point at the inquest.
The mysterious stranger who was
seen by G. r. German has again turn
ed up In the investigation. On We'd
nesday evening man who answers to
the same description boarded an east
bound car near Happyland. According
to persons who were on the car at the
time he did not appear to be labor
ing man, nor a mechanic, but was
more like tramp of the more pros
porous class. Again it is sttaed by a
girl who worked with Mrs. James be-
fore lrer marriage that about three
years ago she was friendly with a
man who would correspond with Mr..
Germans description. Residents of
the vicinity state that that portion of
the city has been unusually free from
tramps. agents or casual visitors.
In the kitchen of the James house,
at the back of the range. there is a
quantity of wood, some of it round
poplar and the balance pieces of old
