ing between the Shah OF Persia and

Europeans In Tabriz would again be-
come acute Immediately this pressure
was removed The expedition will be
kept in Persia until the Shah's pledges
to institute a proper government actu-
ally are put into effect.
The Russian advance has been slow
er than was expected on account OF the
absence OF horses from the transport.
The first detachment will not reach Ia
brig until late tonight. No opposition
is expected unless at the gates OF Ia
briz from the Caucasian mereenaries.
The expedition Is taking with 1t food
supplies to relieve the Immediate Me-
cessities Of the population.
: The expedition is assuming larger
proportions than originally was con-
tempiated. In addition to battalion

Washington, April 26--Dehouncing
the principle Of protective tarir as
unfair in taking money from one man
to give II to another In order to en-
courage him in the pursuit OF an other
wise Improbable business. Senator
Bailey. (Tex.). today delivered q set
speech on the Democratic side In OPP
positon to the pending tariff bill.
The announcement that Mr.. Bailey
would address the Senate was sum
dent to bring to the chamber almost
every Senator ana the galleries were
crowded to their full capacity. Mrs.
Taft occupied seat in the Presidents
section and was an attentive listener
throughout the session.
Senator Bailey was not interrupted

marks for an hour or more. when sew

Of the pending bill might be lowered

supposed the profits OF American in

Bailey replied that in the case Of the
United States Steel Corporation he be-
lieyed they had, and he cited the In
creased capitalization Of that organ
ization AZ evidence OF the enormous
profit !. He insisted that such aalarge
rate OF duty would not seriously AFFECT
importations because he believed
American manufacturers. would be
stimulated by the added foreign COM
petition and would continue to sup
ply the markets. Mr.. Bailey addressed
himsel fat length to his amendment
providing for an income tax. which
was criticised by Mr.. Aldrich as tend
ing to reduce the protection that would
be given American labor in case It
should reach a proportionate decrease
OF customs duties. Mr.. Bailey favored

lection to American labor. Mr.. Aidrich
retortinE that while the senator from

situation Hopeful.

washington, April 26.--The granting
by the shah Of an armistlce permitting
free admission Of provisions for the
people at Tabriz who are suffering be-
cause. OF the prolonged siege Is regard
ed by the State Department officials as
a very hopeful feature of the situa ton.
1t IL suggested by some officials that
the armiatice which has been reported
both in the Official and press dispatches
may render unnecessary the presence
of the Russian relief expedition which
had been directed from the frontier
and which the American government
expected to rely for assistance in safe
guarding life and property.
The State Department has been as
sured that the present government OF
Persia accepts responsibility for dame
age caused to the Americans by the
government forces, conditioned upon
Americans not associating themselves
with the revolutIonists or admitting
them to their houses for refuge. This
is regarded by the Department as a
very reasonable attitude and Americans
have been warned TO be careful In re-
spect to the conditions.
