CHINA'S REGENT ENTERTAINS
Foreign ENJOYS Have Luncheon at

Winter Palace In Western Style.
Pekin, May 4.-Prlnce Chun, the re-
gent, gave a remarkable luncheon at
the winter palace to the foreign en-
voys here to attend the funeral cere-
monies of the late Emperor Kwangsu.
The repast was served in foreign
style. The Chinese authorities have
shown especial favor to Prince Fu-
shimi, the japanese envoy, and this
discrimination has caused irritation.

Tuesday, July I3.

Washington, July l3.-An unexpect-
ed burst of speed was exhibited by the
tariff conferees tonight and the first
consideration of the bill was complet-
ed. When tomorrow's session begins
the struggle over important differences
Of the senate and house will open.
Thus far all questions involving raw
materials. which have been the sub
jects Of heated disputes, have been put
over after brief discussions. The ses.
sion tonight adjourned at 9:45 O'Clock
in order that the conferees could get
the benefit of a good nights rest and
be ready for the big battle at 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning.
BY passing over the cotton and wool
en- schedules without taking up any OF
the amended paragraphs and skipping
the disputed points of the lumber
schedule, the conferees were able to
dispose of about 400 senate amend
ments.

RlOTiNG IN BOLIVIA.

Mobs at La Paz Engage in PiIIaging
and Looting.
La Paz, Bolivia, July l3.-La Paz
is given over tonight to riot. The
people swarmed into the streets and
did much damage. The electric light
wires were cut and pillaging was be-
gun on all sides. Shots were heard in
every direction. The situation for for
eigners, especially Peruvian and Ar
gentine residents, is extremely serious.
The guards protecting the Peruvian
and Argentine Legations were suddenly
withdrawn last evening for some un-
known reason. When this became
known, street mobs renewed their at
tacks. Senor Fozesca and his wife
had narrow escape. They made their
way out of the legation and ran eight
blocks, finally seeking protection in
the home of the president of Bolivia.
Manifestations have been numerous
in public places, and at meeting held
Saturday a portrait Of Figora Alcorta,
president Of Argentina, was held down
ward on a pole and stoned to pieces.
1t is reported here that considerable
excitement prevails at Lima and Bue-
nos Ayres, and the Argentine govern
ment's silence in the face of Bolivian
protests is regarded as ominous.

Thursday. July 8,

Washington, July s.-The tariff bill
passed the senate just after IL O'Clock
tonight by vote of 45 TO 81. Ter
Republicans voted with the Democrats
against the bill and one Democrat vot-
ed for the bill.
As it passed the senate, the bill con-
tains almost 400 paragraphs. The
senate made $40 amendments to the
house bill, many of which were added
today. Consequently the enrolling
clerks are finding the preparation OF
the bill for the house an arduous task.
They have been following as closely
upon the heels of the senate as was
possible, and have the work we'll in
hand, but say they probably will not be
able to complete their labors before
late tomorrow.
There will be no delay in sending
the tariff bill TO conference after il
reaches the house. II is expected that
the bill will be sent to that body by the
senate late tomorrow. The house will
met daily from now until the end of
the session.
As soon as the bill 10 received, pal-
zell is expected to offer resolution by
which the house will disagree 10 the
senate amepdments en- bloc and agree
10 a conference.

that he will withdraw from La Psz If
the situation does not improv.

capital from tour Of the world, which

Two-cENT FARE COSTLY.
Roads Lose Heavily Because of Re-
duction in Charges.

duction IN Charges.
Chicago, July l3.-The claim of Illi-
nois railroads that the 2-cent rate,
while stimulating travel to a marked
degree, had reduced the revenues of
roads from passenger traffic almost to
the ruination point, is borne out by a
comprehensive investigation by the
Santa Fe road.
The Illinois railroad commission in
sists the law has been beneficial to the
roads. The latter say they have been
compelled to employ much additional
equipment and more help TO handle the
increased travel, which did not, by a
large sum, compensate them for the
extra expense.
The Santa Fe worked under the
operation of a similar law in Kansas,
where a careful record was kept for
the first year. The Santa Fe carried
654, 900 more passengers than it did
the year previously under the Scent
law. Meanwhile revenues from pas
senger traffic for the same period de-
creased 1927, 1000.
Railway men say this does not begin
to tell the real loss, which is to be
found in the great expense for equip
ment and additional employees. the re-
vision of schedules and wear and tear
of property due to more constant use.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, July 49,
Three minutes after Il steel steamers
Isaac M. Scott and John B. Cowle had
collided in Lake Superior early today,
about mile and half off Whitefish
Point lighthouse, the Cowle had gone
to the bottom in SO fathoms of water,
carrying with her Ii members of her
crew.
The Scott, although badly damaged
about the bows, put back to this port,
where she arrived this afternoon with
part of the crew of the Cowle. A
heavy fog was responsible for the col.
lision.
Ihe Scott, new boat on her maiden
trip to the head of the lakes, had just
passed the light at Whitfsh Point. and
Strengthened out her course up the
lake, when she suddenly saw the Cowle
loom up through the fog. broadside on
and only few feet away.
The Cowle was down bound with
5000 tons of iron in the hold. For Is
feet the bow of the Scott penetrated
the side of the Cowle. Tons of water
rushed into the great opening and in
three minutes the Cowle had settled.
Immediately after the collision line
was thrown from the deck of the Scott
TO the forward deck of the Cowle, and
three members of the crew escaped to
the deck of the up bound boat by this
means.
The rest of the crew who were saved
jumped from the sinking steamer into
the lake, some without life preservers,
and were picked up by the Scott.

i've vote OF 3l7 to Ii, more than the

passed the senate joint resolution pro-
viding for the submission of an income
tax constitutional amendment to the
states. The negative votes were all
cast by Republicans. The resolution
now goes to the president for his sig
nature.
The debate lasted four hours. Chair
man Payne, of the committee on ways
and means, voiced the sentiment that
such a tax would make "a nation of
liars" The burden of the Democratic
speeches was that it was simply case
of stealing Democratic thunder, al
though some of the remarks on that
side incidentally touched upon tariff
and the corporation tax. with no little
amount of castigation of the Republi-
cans for failing to keep party pledges.
