HE SENATE AT WORK
WILL HOLD LONG DAY SESSIONS THREsHlNo OUT THE TARIFF
 MEASURE.
AND INCOME TAX LEADERS
Senator 5rlstow of Kansas Has Floor --lncome Tax Still in Air--A Com promise Measure May Be Passed Date of Vote Not Fixed.

Washington, June 16-The pro visionof the tariff bill requiring raw or refined sugar to pay the same duty when imported into the Philippines as when imported Into the United States aroused Senator Bristow, who believ- ed he saw in it an advantage to the American Sugar refining company.
 Every year they import from Ger many and China several millions of pounds of sugar and now the incorpor. alton of this provision for a duty on sugar imported into the Philippines will force the people of those islands to purchase the refined sugar from the American Sugar Refining com pany In return for that they can sell their raw sugar to the sugar trust free Of duty. l ask senators whether this is in fact legislation in the interest of the people of the Philippine Islands ?"
 MT. Lodge replying to MT. Bristow said the proposition to admit sugar and tobacco into the United States free of duty was a concession to those who had contended for absolute free trade between the islands and the United States.
 Senator Clapp took view that the admission of free sugar would benefit the American Sugar Refining com. pany. When, he said, the time comes to vote for free hides it will not be argued that 1t Is to benefit the cattle raisers of the Argentine republic or any one else except the American pur- chaser. The two cases. he said, were similar.

TAKE POSSESSION
 OF NEW CAPITOL
Governor and Capiso! Commissioners Thompson and Remmel Force Door-Caldwell and Drake
 Make No Move.

Breaking down door, securely locked, at the new State capitol building, Governor George w. Donaghey, Charles l.. Thompson and H. l.. Remmel, comprising the executive committee of the new State Capitol Commission, yesterday formally took posses sion of the building. Whether it will be considered legal posses sion is questioned. George W. Caldwell, of the firm of Caldwell X Drake, declared that his firm had not surrendered possession of the building. Whether the con- tractors will fight to retain pos session of the building remains to be seen.
 Everything now depends upon whether the contractors are fur nished with guaranty that they will be paid in the event they agree to abide by the decision of the Arbitration Commission iu the proposed settlement of the State capitol controversy. If the guaranty is furnished it is under stood that the contractors will abide by the decision of the Ar bitratiou Commission, otherwise 1t is believed arbitration may be expected.
 "We have not surrendered pos session of the capitol building and still have possessiop," de- clared MT. Caldwell yesterday af- ternoon. "We have had watch man there ever since they stopped the pay for the capitol work. Possession has never been re- quested from us by anybody in any way, either verbally or writ ten."
 Governor Donaghey yesterday gave out the following statement concerning the taking possession of the new capitol building:
 1.-The Executive Committee of the commission went out to the capitol building and formally took possession. We broke down door and formally took charge. We appointed G. A. DeLambert, structural engineer, formerly connected with the Rock Island, as a sort of caretaker who will be in charge of the building. We authorized him to provide for the protection and guarding of the building. We also appointed Mir. Thompson to secure stone and brick masous. The work of clean ing up will start as soon as possi- ble-possibly tomorrow.

Washington, June 16.-When the in- come tax question comes before the senate for vote next Friday the plan Of 1t opponents backed by the in- tiuence of President Taft, to circum- vent the adoption of such a measure will be fully outlined. Already the opponents express confidence in their ability to substitute for the income tax amendment a provision for a tax on net earnings of corporations. avail able for dividend purposes. coupled with n provision for the submission to the legislatures of the several states constitutional amendment giving congress the power to lay or collect direct taxes on incomes.
 For several days 1t kas Deen recog- nized by the opponents of the in- come tax question that the only way they could make certain the defeat of the proposition would be to offer some thing in its stead which would be ac- ceptable to the country. Taxes on net earnings of corporations, gross re- celplS CuEpoIdlioHS, uiFiuehus Oi CUT porations and other forms of corpora ton taxes were brought forward one after another only to meet rejection from advocates of the income tax. It become known that President Taft disagreed with the supporters of a tax on incomes and would lend the ad- ministrations Influence to bring about their defeat. But the income tax fac ton. numbering all of the Democratic senators and number O. progressive Republicans variously estimated at rom 12 to 19 have been keeping up bold front, refusing to be diverted rom their puprose by the suggestion If different forms of corporation tax.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inGIamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the rseuIt, and unless the in- flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in famed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars, free.

A ROUGH VOYAGE.

The four mssted schooner Independ-
ept, Captain H. NJ. Fsrrow, from Rock
port, Ne, with ice for the Mutual Ice
Company, srgived at this port last night.
Captain FarrOw givesa thrilling descrip-
ton Of the voyage The Independent
left RockpOrt on the 25th of February.
On the 80 instant she encountered the
blizzard snd high northwest winds which
prevailed on that day and the Alb, and
was blown out of her course. The
schooner was brought close to the Ber-
mudas before the gale diminished. The
Independents mainsail was blown away
and it vas feared that the force Of the
wind would break of the masts. Seas
dashed over TIE schooner continuously,
andi WAS impossible to move from place
10 place on the deck. Captain Fauow
says he has followed the sea during the
greater psrt OF bis life, but this was the
most thrilling experience he ever passed
through.
