c0NFEREES ON TARIFF BILL
Probable Makeup of Senate and House
Committees.

Probable Makeup Of Senate and House
Committees.
Washington, July 7.-With the SEN
ate rapidly approaching the day of
final consideration of the tariff bill
attention is being given to the selec-
ton of the conferees on the part of
the senate and of the house. The duty
of the conferees will be to attempt to
bring the two bodies into agreement
regarding the measure.
Gossip has it that Senator Aldrich
will pick besides himself as the rep
resentatives of the Republicans in the
senate Hale of Maine, Penrose of
Pennsylvania, Burrows of Michigan
and Smoot of Utah. The Democratic
senators who will participate in the
conference will probably be Daniel of
Virginia, Money of Mississippi and
Bailey of Texas.
In the house Speaker Cannon will
select Payne of New York, Dalzell of
Pennsylvania, Boutell of Illinois, Nc
Call of Massachusetts and either Cal
derhead of Kansas or Needham of
California as the Republican members
and Champ Clark of Missouri, Under
wood of Alabama and Griggs of Geor-
g1a as the Democratic members.

SENATE TOBACCO SCHEDULE
Rates Generally Higher Than in the
Existing Law.

Washington, July 1.-THE senate
committee on finance has completed
1ts consideration of the internal rev.
enue provision of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill fixing taxes on tobacco and
1t was reported to the senate soon
afterwards.
The existing rate of SO per thou
sand on cigars weighing more than
three pounds per thousand was re.
tanned, but proviso was added in
creasing the tax on high grade cigars.
This proviso fixes tax of Sc per thou.
sand when the wholesale price is be.
tween SIS and $110. Where the price
Is more than s11O the tax is fixed at
50 per thousand. On cigars weighing
three pounds or less per thousand the
house rate of 81 is reduced to rs cents
per thousand, an increase of 21 cents
over the existing rate. On cigarettes
weighing more than three pounds per
thousand the house rate of $3.50 is
retained, but on those weighing not
more than three pounds the house rate
is reduced from $3.50 to $1.25 per
thousand, which still leaves an in
crease over the existing law.

MOTION CAUSES DEBATE

fected by the Law.
Washington, July 7.-As soon as the
tariff bill was taken up in the senate
an amendment proposed by Senator
Burkett exempting from the operation
OF the corporation tax provision bene-
hc1al societies organized on the lodge
principle precipitated a debate on the
exact form that such a provision
should take. Senator Bacon thought
that the suggestion Of the Nebraska
senator was not broad enough and
offered a more farreaching amend.
ment relating to religious, charitable,
educational and fraternal associations,
mutual insurance companies and cor
porations whose gross sales were less
than $250,OOO annually.
Trinity church of New York was
brought prominently into the debate.
Senator Clark of Wyoming said that
organization was not Of a character
to receive the exemption It was, he
said, engaged in real estate opera
lions to an extent that would not war
rant the church's exclusion from the
provisions Of the bill.
After considerable debate an amend
ment was adopted exempting from the
tax labor organizations, fraternal
beneficiary societies and organizations
exclusively for religious, charitable or
educational purposes. Mr.. Aldrich, in
accepting this provision, said the
finance committee believed that the
same object was accomplished by the
language used by the committee plac-
ing the tax only upon corporations cor
ganized for profit"
Amendments requiring the payment
of the corporation tax to state treas
uries when raised from banks, water,
gas and electric light companies and
exempting mercantile corporations
with gross annual salaries not ex-
ceeding $250,000 were rejected.

HEARD ON THE FRONT

Speaking of the scarcity of sea-
men, said Captain Quincy yesterday
afternoon, as he settled himself back
IN MS chair and took a fresh bite of
the piug-eut, reminds me of the old
whaling days IN Honolulu. Not that
there e~as any great lack of seafaring
men but L just happened to think of a
little occurrence down on the water
front. There was a whaling ship come
into port with a fine catch. and her
captain and the men had so much
money that they were actually afraid
they wouidn t get chance to spend
IT. For some reason or other, four of
the sailors Of this ship deserted, and
report of the fact got into the
papers.
Uncle Sammy Damon came down
to console the captain of the whalel
on his loss He said that it was a shame
that the men left him in the lurch, and
that they hadn't ought to have done
it, and all that sort of CUFF. The cap
tain listened to Uncle Sammy Damon
until he was through, and then, with
a roll of euss words as long as your
arm, he said:
- Mr.. Damon, if you were to head
your ship on course for Heaven. and
should happen to lay ever in Hell fol
q few days, you d lose some sailors.
Which all means, my landlubbel
friend, that there is nothing some sea
men would rather do than desert.

Shipping News of the World.

The city of Tacoma is called the
Gateway to the Orient.
Shipping in the Northwest was
paralyzed a short time ago by the
fierce storms and billiards which
swept the entire North Pacific Coast.
Baltimore has the first and only prac.
teal vessel built of concrete in the
world. The vessel is the Gretchen, a
two-mast sehooner-yaeht sixty-five feet
long. She has demonstrated her sea-
worthiness by putting up against some
strong storms.
Bereft of her sails and sinking rap
idly, the three-mast schooner Modoe,
carrying a cargo of coal, was recently
abandoned off Cape Ann, on the At
lantie coast. Captain Dudley and
crew were picked up by the schooner
Rob Roy and taken to port safely.
In the Commercial Club edition of
the Tacoma Ledger, the following men
ton is made of the American-Hawaiian
vessels by Dick Hayes, the best known
waterfront writer on the Pacific Coast:
"Still another important Tacoma ocean
line is the American Hawaiin Steam
ship Company, fine, large, modern Amer
lean steamers, paying dividends to their
stockholders notwithstanding the alb
sence of a subsidy. This line is en-
gagged in both foreign and coastwise
trade. from Tacoma to Salina Cruz via
San Francisco and for the Hawaiian
Islands. operating in connection with
the Tehuantepec railway across Mexico
and steamers of the same line and class,
up the coast to our principal Atlantic
ports. These steamers are about 5000
tons gross register and are named after
our states
