Hide and Leather Schedule
to Be Corrected.
REDUCED DUTIES ON ALL SHOES
Opposition to Conference Report Col
lapses, and Final Vote Is to
Be Taken In the Senate
Tomorrow.

Washington, Aug. 4.-The complete
collapse of all important opposition to
the conference report on the tariff bill
was evidenced when the senate agreed
to vote on that measure at o'clock
tomorrow. This was caused by an
agreement on the part of the western
senators to vote upon the conference
report and to correct the hide and
leather schedule by means of con-
current resolution to be acted upon
separately.
The form of the concurrent resolu-
tion was agreed upon in an informal
conference in Senator Aldrich's COM
mittee room. Instructions are given
by this resolution to the enrolling
clerks of the senate and house to
change the language Of the proviso re-
ducing duties on boots and shoes and
harness.
The change will make dutiable at 10
per cent "boots and shoes, the upper
leather Of which is made wholly or in
chief value from the hides or skins of
cattle, including calfskins." A sim
liar change will be made in relation to
harness, saddles and saddlery.
The effect of the amendment is to
make the reduced duties on boots and
shoes and harness and saddlery apply
to such articles as are composed of
leather from the hides and skins of
cattle and calfskinS, instead of con-
fining the reductions to articles made
from hides which have hitherto been
dutiable. The range of the reduction
is greatly increased.
The suggestion for an agreement to
vote was made in the senate by Mr.
Bailey representing the minority. and
at once concurred in by the chairman
of the finance committee. The Texan
intimated that there might be consid-
cradle debate on the concurrent reso-
luton. but it is not believed that the
discussion can be continued many
hours.
Senator CulberSon gave notice that
he would seek to amend the concur
rent resolution by placing cotton bag
ging on the free list. that article hay
ing been placed there by the senate
and removed by the conference com
mittee.
Questions by Senator Newlands in
debate Oh the conference report called
forth Il statement from Mr.. Aldrich
that he believed the conference provi-
sion giving the president authority to
gather information relating to the en-
fOrcement of the maximum and mini
mum clause was broader and would be
found to D., more effective than con-
templated by the clause as originally
adopted by the senate. 1t would, he
thought, authorize the collection Of
statistics of cost of production at home
and abroad.
President Taft is working hard to
bring about an early adjournment of
congress. 1t is understood that the
president is coaXing the prOgressivcs
to abandon the idea of making any
further speeches.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
For CLEANING Wall Paper.

TO clean wall paper use the follow
ing recipe: Ten cents worth of liquid
ammonia, 10 cents worth of oil of sas-
safras, one teaspoonful (even full Of
soda, two teaspoonfuls (even fulD Of
salt and one quart Of cold water.
Mix the cold water with the ingre-
dients, then add white -four until it is
thick enough to drop from a spoon.
Put in a covered pail, set in a kettle
of boiling water and cook until done,
stirring often. If it does not stick to
the hands when cool it is done. Re-
move from the pail and divide into
'loaves," working each piece awhile
in the hand. Take out only what is
needed, leaving the rest covered in the
pail. to prevent the ammonia from
evaporating. Rub the wall with a loaf,
rubbing the dirt into the dough. When
very dirty exchange for clean loaf.
This removes dirt and grease magical
ly and leaves old paper as good as
new when used carefully.-Woman's

CLEANING Summer Wear.

Lingerie waists should be pressed
when they are mussed and not soiled,
but if they are stained with perspira-
ton, be it ever so little, do not press
them. Wash them at once, and If they
are delicate or old sew them up in al,
old pillow slip while you are doing it.
Clean your white shoes with gaso-
line, then when it has wholly evaporat-
ed wash them in peroxide Of hydrogen
and set in the sun to dry.
If you get grass stains on any cotton
or linen fabric rub it with black mo-
lasses, then wash in the regular way.
If you have lot Of Irish lace jabots
or collars, after they are washed pick

Body Of Chinese Laundryman Found,

NEW YORK, July 1.-The police
are trying to connect the strange
murder OF Yung Vow. a Chinese laun-
dryman in his laundry on Stanton-st..
with the Sigel case.
Young Vows body was found In two
tubs in his laundry this morning. His
head was submerged In the water OF
one tub. while his feet were in an.
other. A silken cord. bound tightly
about his throat showed he had been
strangled To death before being plac-
ed In the tubs
That the Chnaman died fighting
was proven by the blood stains about
the laundry.
Bloody prints OF fingers on his body
showed that his assassins has been
wounded. while bloody footprints
about the floor showed they hal
tranpled in blood. The police could
find no clues but believe the murder
may have had something to do with
the Sigel case. The dead Chinaman Is
known not TO have belonged to any OF
the Chinese secret societies and the
police authorities have been unable
20 prove thus far that he had any Chi
natown Affiliations.
