The many friends of the keokuk

from st. Louis to New Orleans with
the Presidential fleet, hope that they
are enjoying, or at least seeing some
of the delicacies which are being pre-
scented to Taft's table daily. The fol-
lowing dispatch from Hickman, Ky,
tell of the fine menus:
President Taft was last night the
guest of governors on the steamer St.
Paul. Although still suffering from
the bad condition of his throat, the
President today accepted the invita-
ton of the ST. Louis Business Mems
League, which he was forced to de-
cline Monday evening.
Soon after leaving Hickman the st.
Paul was brought UP in the middle OF
the stream alongside the Oleander
this evening and lashed there while
the President and his party, including
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Nagel and Postmaster General Hitch.

day, were conducted on board the

Preparations had already been
started on the ST. Paul Monday even
ing for the banquet, when the an
nouncement was made that the Presi
dent was too tired to attend after his
busy day in st. Louis. So President
Smith of the Business Mems League
ordered the food back to the ice
boxes.

Mechanicsville is a small town near
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which has a pop
ulation of about 1000 people. Rev.
Gillespie is quite well known through
out central Iowa and to the north
and is priest of much ability.
When he will take up the reins OF
st. Peters is not known, but 1t is
thought that it will be several weeks
before he will be able to assume
charge, as he has the affairs OF his
own parish to straighten out before
leaving.
The above news was received in
telegram from Rev. George Giglinger,
D. D., pastor of st. Mary's Catholic
church in Keokuk, who was on the
board of examiners.
Rev. P. j. O'Reilly, who came to
Keokuk some time ago to take the as
sistant pastorship Of st. Peters, Is
busily Strengthening out business af-
fairs before the new pastor takes
charge. He has had the entire duties
of the church since the death of Faith,

in manner that will ever be remem-
bered by st. Peters parishioners.

Surprise Feast for Taft.
Postum, ducks, sweet potatoes and
persimmons were made ready for the
President Tuesday. James E. Smith
and Gov Wilson of Kentucky were
responsible, each for a part. Mr..
Smiths POSTUM was presented as
surprise in novel way, while the
ducks and persimmons came aboard
the ST. Paul at Hickman, KY. from j.
T. Stephens, a friend of Governor
Wilson. Eighteen of the mallards
were provided for the President. Just
as the chief executive was sitting
down to his midday meal on the Ole
ander. the possum. garnished with
sweet potatoes, was passed in to his
table on silver platter With it was
this letter:

a slight change will be undergone to
get nearer balance between the re

Before Bishop Davis came to keo-

be made as to the financial condition
of st. Peters parish. Special sources
were investigated and it was found
that the yearly disbursements exceed

of $4,000, and from whence this money
came in the past is not known. 1t

would be to secure an increase in the

TAFT'S TARIFF VIEWS
STRENGTHEN REVOLT
Presidents Dsapproval of the Aldrch Measure In
courages Senators Who Favor Revision Downward.
Storm May Break Soon.
By JOHN sNURE.

The senate debate on the tariff the
coming week Is expected to develop
pretty clearly the extent OF the antagon-
ism to the pending bill. BY the end Of
the week, it is deemed likely, It viii be
possible 10 tell pretty accurately how
long it will take to get the bill past the
Senate.
Senator Aldrioh and other leaders have
been apprehensive over the situation
since the outbreak of Senators Dolliver
and Nelson Thursday. This outbreak
gave plenty of signs of trouble. Since
then things have been outwardly calm,
but the portents are that there is a
tariff storm brewing which will break
forth in vigorous fashion next week.
No little feeling has been stirred UP
among Republican Senators on some
phases of the bill. and this feeling will
not be relieved without some plain
speaking on the floor
The practical question is how many
Republican Senators will line up in op-
position to certain schedules against
the wish of the organization leaders
and in consonance with the sentiments
of those who would revise the tariff
downward. This will probably be made
clear by the time there have been four
or five DAYS more Of debate. Then the
Senate leaders will be able to formulate
their course of action. Just at present
they are considerably at sea, as they do
not know the full extent OF the revolt
against the present bill and the extent
to which it will be necessary for them
to consent to modification of schedules.
Taft's Views.
One most important fact which Is en-
couraging opposition to some OF the
schedules on the part of Republican
Senators is that President Taft does
not approve the Aldrich bill He does
not think that in a number Of respects
II meets the promise of the Republican
party as to revision Of the tariff AS
Mr.. Taft views it-at least, that Is the
information that has reached the Capitol
from high sources-the party gave the
voters to understand there would De
downward revision.
Mr.. Taft Is convinced the Aldr1ch Dill
does not meet the situation. He has told
Mr.. Aldrich So He has told Mr.. Aldrich,
furth ermore that the course to be taken
is to preserve the reductions IN the
Dingley schedules made by the House
Committee and the Senate Committee
and then reduce other schedules TO the
Dingley level or below that

Aided by Engineer Commissioner Jud-
son, whose experience as officer in
charge of harbor improvements on Lake
Michigan, will lend increased strength
to their arguments, the Commissioners
Will, at the coming session Of Congress,

The Improvement of the Washington

special report on harbor improvements
by the Wharf Commission, consistir g
of Daniel E. Garges. chief clerk of tie

the sea wall on the opposite side of the
river and dredging the river itself. The
plan contemplates the tearing down of
all existing structures and the construc-
