Bond the former premier, met with a
hostile reception today when he at
tempted to land from steamer al

Verde district, for the purpose of ad-
dressing a political rally. Sir Robert
is touring the towns and villages along
party.
When he started to go ashore from
his steamer this afternoon he was met
by a crowd of voters in sympathy with
Sir Edward Morris party, and warned
that the electors of Western Bay did
not desire to hear him The former
premier charged that the directors
were engaged by the Morris party to
prevent him from speaking, and an
nounced his intention of landing and
making an address.
The crowd made a rush for the land
ing place, and in the confusion, Sir
Robert was pushed overheard. He was
not injured and succeeded in climbing
into a rowboat He rejoined the steam
er and made no further attempt to
land.
The incident is attributed to the in
tense political feeling which prevails
throughout the colony. Polling will be
held one week from tomorrow. The
Bondites and Morrisites have nominal
ed straight tickets in every district.
There are no Independents running.

Senate Would Reverse

OF Tariff, Applying Highest
Rates to All Countries.
Would Authorize President to An.
ply Lowest Rate. IL advisable.

Washington, April 30-The Senate
committees substitute for the Payne
tariff bill maximum and minimum pro-
vision was reported to the Senate to-
day by Senator Adrich, chairman of
the committee. 1t puts in effect after
March 81. 1910. Il maximum provision
for an additional % per cent al valo-
rem on all of the rates of the Senate
bill and then gives the President the
power to apply the minimum rates to
any country or section of a country by
proclamation. 1t provides for Il duty
of cents on coffee and 10 cents on
tea, imported from countries to which
the maximum rates are applied. The
section also gives the President power
to employ a tariff commission for TIL"
purpose of gathering information only
The Senate's retalatory provision is
practically a reversal of that original
" placed in the Payne bill. Instead of
the maximum rates applying automat-
ically against country, which dis
eliminates in it's tariff laws against
the products of the United States, the
finance committees sub makes the
maximum rates to those countries
Wnlcr give the lnltcu StdlcS cuuul
concessions with other countries. But
the President must liz his proclama
ton declare that the country. which Is
favored with the minimum rates does
not impose any terms or restrictions
with either in the way of tariff rates
or trade or other regulations. directly
or indirectly; on the sale or importation
into hat country of any product of the
United states.
This in effect is the requirement
which the House bill makes. In addl-
ton the Senate provision requires that
a country in order to receive the min
imum rates of the American tariff
cannot impose any export bounty or
prohibition upon the expectation of any
article To the United States. which I'M
duly discriminates against the products
OF this country. The latter provision
was not maze in the House bill. 1t is
because of the export tax placed by
that country on coffee but it is expect
| ed that it will affect those countries
which impose an import tax on a raw
material which is used for manufac-
| turing in this country.

Of the day, August Is, 1908. leading up
to the shooting Of William E. Annis
at the Bayside Yacht Club. by Capt
Peter C. Hams, Jr, L. S. A, We're
graphically reviewed today on the wit
ness stand by Thornton Jenkins Hams,
the defendants brother, at the trial
before Justice Garretson in the su-
preme court here.
Thornton Hams was called as a wit
ness by the defence at the conclusion
of District Attorney DeWett'e cross
examination of Gen. Hams, the father
of the defendant. John F. Mcintyre
chief counsel Tor the defense, care
fully piloted the witness through a
minute description of his movements
and those of the captain on the fatal
day, up to the time they reached the
yacht club float where Annis was shot
down as he was stepping from his cat
boat. But 1T this point, the lawyer
suddenly broke off without asking the
witness a single question in regard to
the shooting.
1t was evidently the purpose of the
defence to let the prosecution bring
out the details of the killing on cross
examination. However, this turn in
a'Ialrs was executed so unexpectedly
by the army officers counsel that it
created considerable confusion among
the states forces.
