shall pay a duty of three-tenths of one
cent a pound, and when valued at more
than nine-tenths of cent duty OF four
tenths of a cent pound. The house rate
was three-tenths of cent pound on
all structural iron and steel. The rates
agreed TO by the senate are lower than
the Dingley rates.
IRON AND STEEL FIGHT.
Intellectual efforts were made by Sem
ator Stone to have structural iron and
steel and many products of steel placed
upon the free list, and by Senator Cum
minis to obtain slightly lower duties upon
nearly all of the products of iron and
steel. Mr.. Stone was satisfied with
viva voce vote by which his amendment
was rejected. Mr.. Cummins, demanding
an aye and no vote, met defeat by 81 to
40. Senators Borah, Bristow, Brown,
Crawford, Cummins, Curtis, Dolliver,
Gamble, LaFollette and Nelson, Republi-
cans, voted with the Democrats for the
lower rates.
A duty of one and a half cents per
pound upon zinc in pigs instead of one
cent a pound, as provided in the house
tariff bill, was agreed to.
BACON LEADS FIGHT.
Southern senators today Intellectually
endeaVOred to take long staple. or Egypt
ian cotton, off the free list and to place
upon it a duty of four cents pound,
which Senator Bacon, the author of the
document, declared was a revenue duty
only.
IF" he said, I'VE were to place the
same duty on long staple cotton that is
placed upon wool, 1t would bring into the
treasury $, zoo, 900 of revenue annually"
As a means of revenue, he said, the no.
600 bales of Egyptian cotton imported into
the United States annually should not be
overlooked. Mr.. Bacon estimated that the
low duty proposed by him in ten years
would bring into the treasury $4,000, COO.
The fact that this class of cotton is used
in the making of laces and high grade
goods on which the duties had been in
creased I'm the pending bill, Mr.. Bacon
said, was an assurance that the duty
would not add to the prices of the articles
made from the long staple product
BACON AND ALDRICH.
An interesting colloquy occurred be-
tween Mr. Bacon and Mr. Aldrich when
the latter charged the Georgian with the
advocacy of a price duty. Mr.. Aldrich
insisted that the duty proposed would add
four cents to every pound of such cotton
grown in only three states of the union.
Senators Taliaferro and Fletcher, OF
Florida, declared that the people of their
states wanted the duty on long staple
cotton, and Mr.. Taliaferro admitted that
they wanted il for the protection of the
Sea Island cotton industry. BY a viva
voce vote the amendment to remove long
staple cotton from the free list was re-
jected.

early youth Charles Thompson, the son

At the time an agreement to artbitrate
was signed, an agreement was drawn up
between General Manager Scott and Vice
President Ball which was intended to
protect the firemen to a degree in case
the arbitration went against them. In
this agreement was the stipulation that
there should be seniority among white
firemen.
Vice President Kelly says that the ar

the demands of the firemen, went fur

destroyed this seniority proviso and made

One Of the three demands granted to
the firemen is that all firemen shall have
three years experience before promotion
to the place of engineer. Vice President
Kelly says that there is already a law in
Georgia which provides for this.

Wellesley Oak 500 Years Old.


A wid%e-spreading oak which experts
have declared must have been grow
ing at the time of the discovery of
America by Columbus, is a landmark
on the estate Of the late Arthur Hun
newell in Wellesley, Mass.
The magnificent tree measures 20
feet in circumference at the base. It
Is a noticeable landmark on account
of its unusual size. It intersects the
fence which separates the fertile fields
Of the Hunnewel estate from the
highway. and thus arrests the atten-
ton Of the %passer-by.

pride In the ancient tree. It has with.

First he wal Mrs. Pippin's little
boy. Then he was Rosie Pippin's
brother. Then he became Jennie Nc
Greer's beau. After marriage Jennie
kept her maiden name, among her
friends, and Pippin passed as Jennie
