An official statement issued in Madrid
tonight concerning the proposed general

explained that this was due to a fear of
a clash with the unionists.
Spain's censorship tonight is more in
eXOrable than ever. No news has been
received from the various points in the
north. where the trade unions had
planned a general strike for today, and
therefore the actual conditions there
and elsewhere cannot be stated.

would have compelled a resubmissiOn
of the question TO the house.
When Senator Aidrich returned from
the White house he called a session of
the cOnferees. The western senator's
were ushered into the conference cham
Der, singly or in pairs. Audiences were
given to Senators Hepburn, Warren,
Carter, Sutherland. Brown, Borah and
Bourne Invitations had been issued to
Senators Dixon, Burkett and Clark of
Wyoming, but they did not accept.
Senator Aldrich and Representative
Payne declared that the language en-
ployed in adjusting the hide contrO-
versy was not a Joker" An effort was
made to reach an understanding with
the westerners. They said the word
had gone out over the west that free
hides had been given for cheaper shoes
and harness. and that their constituents
would not be satisfied with any other
bargain.
Letters From Taft.
Senators Brown and Borah both had
letters from the president bearing upon
the alleged Joker" which they read.
The letter TO senator BOrdh was IN re-
Spouse to one he had written. The pres
ident asserted in this letter that the
leather and hide schedule. as adopted
by the cOnferees, was just as he had
understood it. He said his understand
ing was that the reduction on leather
goods should be made on those manu-
features Of the hitherto dutiable hides
and should not include manufactures
of hitherto free hides.
Continuing. the president argued that
farmers wear shoes made of the kind OF
hides that would pay the low duty, and
that practically all harness is made
from dutiable leather, and therefore
would be reduced 20 per cent ad va
loren. In the Brown letter the presi-
dent is said to have added a rather
sharp criticism of legislators constantly
finding jokers.'
Up in the Air.
After the westeruers had departed the
conferees discussed ways Of meeting
the situation. Representative Mccall

Westerners DECEIVED.

The westerners claimed they had been
led to believe that all boots and shoes
Of leather We're to be dutiable at 10 per
cent, and that all harness was to be
dutiabie at 20 per cent.
When the conference report was Is
sued, It appeared that the reductions
applied only to articles manufactured
in chief part OF the class OF hides which
were to be made duty free. The reduc-
lions would not apply to shoes, the up
pers Of which were made of calfskin.
or, to harnesses, the chief value of
which was the calfskin.
Western senators were extremely bit
ter in their condemnation of the com
promise. They said they had been
fooled, that the president had been
fooled, and tricks played on the con-
sumner was nothing short of buncombe
Finding that the westerners were not
amenable to argument, some of the SEN
ate leaders and some of the dissatisfied
members hurried to the White house.
There all were informed that the presi-
dent had not been fooled. He was re-
ported to have told all of his callers
that he fully understood the character
of the compromise.

washington, Aug. 2.-Tariff legisla-
ton has been delayed again by the hide
and leather question, and the conferees
were called together once more today.
Western senators VIII compel further
changes in the hide and leather sched-
uIe. These senator's complain that the
leather schedule as arranged by the
conterees with the approval of the pres
ldent is unfair to the states interested
IN protected hides. It was agreed that
some action must be taken to conciliate
them if the conference report is TO be
adopted.
Without thought of serious obstacles.
Senator AldTich caused the report to be
taken up today as soon as the senate
met. As is usual, the senate leader and
his associates moved about to ascertain
whether there had been any change of
sentiment. They were not long in learn
ing that the charge that there was a
Joker" in the compromise hide and
leather question had upset the comfort
able majority they had previously
counted for the adoption of the report.

AFTERLIFE OF PRESIDENTS.
Most of Chief Executives Died Soon
 After Leaving Office.
From the Salt Lake Herald.

From the Salt Lake Herald. President Roosevelt retires from his ex-
 alted office while comparatively young
 man and doubtless looks forward to longer lease of life than has fallen to the lot of majority of retiring Presidents. ] John Adams, the second President, lived over quarter of century after laying
 down the cares of office, but the average period of life of the Presidents after re- tirement is only 12 years and 10 months.
 The list follows: George Washington lived two years and nine months after retirement. John Adams lived 9 years and three months Thomas Jefferson lived IT years and three months. James Madison lived 19 years and three months
 James Monroe lived six years aud four months. John Quincy Adams lived 19 years and served in the House of Representatives. Andrew Jackson lived eight years and three months Martin Van Buren lived 21 years and four months. | William Henry Harrison died precisely one month after his inauguration, April 1, 1S41. John Tyler lived r years after his re- | tirement. James K. Polk lived three months. | Zachary Taylor died in office. 16 months | after his inauguration. l Willard Fillmore lived 21 years after his I retirement | Franklin Pierce lived 12 years and seven | months.
 | James Buchanan lived six years and 1 Il months. 1 Abraham Lincoln died in office 1 Andrew Johnson lived six years and ] four months after retirement, and served

bend low and bow before they offer them to us. The meal begins with sweet cake and candy, Then there is bowl of soup in A dish of wood covered with lacquer, A yarnish so bright that one can see ms face in it. There Is fish, raw and cooked, and fried cells, which taste delicious. The raw fish is not bad It is served upon ice. cut into little slices so we can eat It with chop sticks. After all, why should not one eat raw fish as well as raw oys- ters?
 And then there are salads and pickles, apples and pears, and great red persim- mons as big as tomatoes. The rice IS brought in at the close of the meal Tn wooden bucket bound with brass rims. We are told again and again to help our selves to the rice, for one is supposed to complete his dinner with it, as, with rice in plenty, no one can go hungry. we ma some difficulty in conveying the rice to our mouths with the chop sticks, and finally raise the bowl to our lips and shovel it in As 1t grows cold we pour d little hot tea over it, laughing with the Japanese children as they do the same.
 How the Children Dress.
 But there are so many strange things among the little ones we see all about us that it would take a long time to mention them all The children wear shoes Of wood or of straw, and thelr stocklnss are foot mittens with a finger for the big toe. These mittens stop above the ankle, and the rest of the leg goes bare except for the gown or kimono, which falls from the shoulders The kimono has very long sleeves These, in the case of the wom- en, hang down, forming quite large bags at the wrist, which serve as pockets The boys have smaller sleeves The girls have great belts called obis, which are tied at the back and which hold their kimonos together. For the same purpose the boys have sashes which are scarcely larger than ropes. The girls wear bright red upderclothing. although their kimonos are usually of more modest hues.
 All the school children \of Japan have their own dress. The boys wear divided skirt, which reaches from the waist all most to the ankles, and the girls have fuller skirts not divided. Both boys and girls wear kimonos, which are tucked in- side their skirts and which cover the up- per parts of their bodies.
 From this one would think it was all most impossible to tell the boys from the girls. It is not so. The skirts of the girls are either dark red or of the color of a hue damson plum, while those of the boys are steel gray. The girls go bare headed, and their hair is twisted up on the top of their heads. The boys wear caps or hats, and their hair is cut short

of whatever class the hair Is beautifully dressed A Spanish lady rarely goes into the street alone Either her duenna or some relative is constantly with her, as she goes often to mass, rarely to shop or walk.
 Those who drive wear Parisan hats but no one wears a hat to bull fight always the mantilla. Once a year, on Good Fri day, every woman, even the Queen, wears the mantilla as she walks to church. They told us that no carriage was driven on that day.
 The Spanish train averages possibly 20 miles an hour-to allow one to make time exposures of the scenery, perhaps. 1t makes frequent and long waits. At every station the guards run up and down shouting the name of the town and the number of minutes for each stop.
 At every station also the two military guards who accompany each train de- scend and walk around the cars. look ing to see that no robbers are concealed As there is at least one stop an hour these guards get some exercise before the day is over. They say this custom was adopted to drive away any brigands who might be concealed in or under the train, and has been successful.
 Madrid carries no latch key The con- cierge holds it by day, the street watch man by night. Consequently the hours of sleep were constantly broken by the sound of hand d-capping, followed by the quick, heavy step of the watchman in response to this medieval summons.
 Altogether. l unhesitating'y pronounce against Madrid as a rest cure.
 Some one has divided the inhabitants into two classes those who go to bed after a. m., and those who get up be- fore 4.
 It is true that the streets are never quiet The stonecutters who were mend- ing the sidewalks, begin chipping at day break. Next we heard the electric cars with their loud gongs, and the mule carts clatterng over the noisy cobbestones.
 By breakfast time the sound of the hurdy gurdy echoed in our ears. Street fakers shouted their wares, and singing beggars, with their wierd yodel. roamed up and down all day. Just before dinner, the women who cry lottery tickets and evening papers took their stand at the corner, and their stentorian voices never stopped until after midnight.

IN OLD MADRID.
Not a Proper Place for Rest Cure,
 But Full of Interest.

From what we saw and from what hap pened to us in Madrid I made up page of Spanish etiuuette, writes an American girl in Outing. It is probably not correct but I offer it as the result of our eXpe- riences. Other people may have had diff ferent impressions
 If you are of the female sex, never wear short skirt, sailor or English walk ing hat, unless you are willing to have people stare at you, and sometimes call after you.
 If you have red hair, dye it, or be pre- pared to be sauted as "Rubia." Never bow to man unless he lifts his hat first. If you are man you may dress as an Englishman, an operatic tenor of cho- rus singer from "Carmen' without excit- ing remark
 Never wear glasses; if you are blind take a dog on a string. When you sit down at the table or arise, always bow and say "Buenas; this is imperative: You may jostle people without apology, but never speak to anyone without say ing your grace be he noble, friend, or beggar.
 .Wil your grace do me the favor to bring me my coffee at o'clock tomor- row?' would strike an American beilboy with dismay, but it is the literal transia- tion of the Spanish request
 Never tell a beggar to clear out, but say that you have left your purse at home and that you will remember him tomorrow: or. gently murmur that God will reward him, whereat he Will smile, thank you, and depart.
 These same beggars, which spring up on every side seem to have cooe or etl- ouette we could not fathom After two or three days there were few who begged only from me, two of three others who besought Jean.
 Evidently we were understood to De the patrons of certain beggars, who' out or a crowd of mendicants, were the only ones to approach us, who would take their dole 1 with thanks, or if we said tomorrow would smilingly back away at once.

A Ghost In a Clock.

From Tid-Bits.
 Basingstoke provides remarkable story of a ghost in the form of a clock. At the approach of midnight each night the otherwise peaceful grandfather" be- comes inhabited by spook. The ticking changes into a deep and peculiar thump- ing. the clock increases in stature. while a pair of gray feet protrude from beneath its base. Passing through transitional stages, the humping Is replaced by spasmodic breathing, and upon the stroke of 12 the pendulum door opens, revealing an enormous ashy gray hand with mal- shaped fingers. The clock face disappears displaying frightful gray head. large and round, with abnormally long, pale blue eyes. Beyond quiet stroll, which causes weird tappings along the landings during the night the apparition is inoffen- sive and is said to prove of great serivce in sending every one early to bed.
