TARIFF IN CONFERENCE,
Consideration Of Measure May Occupy
About Two Weeks,

About Two Weeks.
WASHINGTON, July TO-. Cheaper
cotton and woolen goods and cheap
hosiery and women's gloves-the for
mer demanded by the house, and the
latter by the senate-promise to be
among the most stubbornly fought
questions on the tariff bill.
At least that is the way things ap.
peared at the close of the first days
session. There was a great deal of
speculation today among those in con-
gress who are not parties to the confer
ence as to what will be done with these
items.
Many members express the opinion
that the house would yield on the cot
ton and wool amendments and the
senate on gloves and hosiery in
compliance with the protectionists'
ideas of stand. .pattism.
Amendments we're considered today
in their numerical order. When the
session closed for the day the confer.
ees had passed through the chemical
and earthenware schedules and more
than half way through the metal
schedules.
The adjustment of the differences
between the house and senate will not
prove so serious task as is indicated
by the large number of amendments.
More than 200 of the amendments con.
sist OF changing the phrase as pro.
vided by section one and two of this
act" to read ''as provided by this
section" These changes were made
necessary by the aoaion of the senate
in consolidating the dutiable and
free lists and making the maximum
and minimum provision the second
section of the bill. Nearly 300 amend.
ments relate to phraseology over which
there will be no dispute whatever.
Eliminating these it is pointed out
that there are lees than 400 amend.
ments that represent opposing views.
Few members of the conference com.
mittee are willing to place the time
necessary for the completion of the
bill in conference atless thanten days.
Some of the conferees place the prob.
able length of the conference at a fort
night or more.

BOHEMIAN. July 1.-THE city board
Of health recently appointed here by
Mayor Berthot has just recommended
that q special officer be appointe to
Welt every house in the city and see
that the occupants are complying in
every respect with the health laws.
Stringent measures are also recon-
mended against the fly. The board
asks for an ordinance requiring all
kitchens of hotels to be kept in q san.

KAL1sPELL, July 11.-A report from
the vicinity of Belton says that a corps
OF government surveyors, in charge of
Lieutenant Gaffery Of Fort Assinni-
boine, are making survey of the
proposed Glacier park surrounding
Lake Mcdonald, with what motive is
not learned. 1t is thought probable
the men are connected with the war
department. The operations may
have something to do with settling the
question of wh at department., war, az.
riculture or interior, will have super.
vision over the park, as this m after
is yet unsettled.
M1ssoULA, July 1l.-At the Flat
head mission today the closing cere.
monies of the Indian celebrat
which has been in progress since July
4, were enacted with about 400 Indian
bucks, squaws and children taking
active part. The scenes of former
years were performed in part only
and the enthusiasm which has been
apparent in other demonstr ations was
missing this year. 1t is said that the
Indians are in a bitter mood over the
coming opening of their lands and
feel that they are being crowded back
to make room for the white man on
land which they have believed to be
their own preserve.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Bearing the
scars of S47 amendments, placed there
by the senate, the Payne tariff bill
today found its way back to the bouse,
exactly three months to q day from
the time it was put through by that
body. It's reception was hailed with
mingled feelings of joy and disap.
pointment by the members OF both
sides, who in response to summons
from their respective leaders turned
out in great force.
Chairman Payne OF the ways and
means committee was prepared to
again take charge of the momentous
piece of legislation. It was precisely
1902 o'clock when Clerk Crockett OF
the senate, appeared in front OF the
speakers rostrum and announced th at
the senate had passed the tariff bill.
He had the bulky document with him
and turned it over to one of the house
officials.
The tariff bill passed the senate just

ATTACK EXPRESS RATES.
Complaints Of Excessive Charges
Filed With Interstate Commission.

WASHINGTON, July s.-A deter.
mined attack is being made by busi-
ness interests in Chicago, Minneapo-
lis and other western points upon
rates charged by express companies
for the transportation of goods. The
interstate commerce commission has
begun an investigation of the COM
plants filed, and in deciding whether
the rates imposed are Just and rea.
sonable it is expected the facts
which will be useful in fixing the fu-
ture relations of the federal govern
ment and express companies will be
gathered.
Undoubtedly the work of the com.
mission will be facilitated by legal

in New York by stockholders of the

The Merrill Packing company was
represented by P. B. Moss, who was
armed with an array of statistics
which showed that the rates are 80
high that the packing house cannot be
operated at profit, and that these
rates from Billings are as much as
four times as high in come cases as
those prev ailihg out of St. Paul and
Omaha to places the came distance
from the distributing center.
The railroad representatives sought
to explain such conditions by alleg-
Ing that the cost OF operating the
roads In such sections is much less
than In Montana, and figures were
produced which showed that the cost
OF operation In the northwestern
states Is less than in any other por.
ton OF the country. The packing
company desires to secure q rate on q
parity with that maintained from St.
Paul, which would mean Q charge OF
22 cents from Billings to Butte,
whereas at present 1t is 40 cents.
Mr.. Merriam declared that he con.
sidered the existing tariffs fair and
equitable but that the railroad com.
pany is disposed to maintain a rate
which will enable the local hackers
and 1obbers to make living profit.
In commenting on the m after Stan.
ton said: II do not believe it costs
any more to operate q railroad iu
Montana than in Minnesota or Iowa.
We have been endeavoring to get the
railroads to substantiate such claim
with actual figures for the last two
years, but they have failed to do so.'
