Workers of America sent from Idaho,
Washington and Oregon. The terms
arrived at are those agreed to at the
first conference, to which District
President Sherman objected. although
approved by the votes of the miners
lodges. and against which he ordered
the strike. International President
Lewis was always OF the opinion that
no strike should have been called.
The miners yielded on the open shop
contention and the mine operators
yielded as to discrimination against
union members. The terms are bind.
ing on both parties for three years.
The agreement will be signed We'd
nesday and work will be resumed the

British Columbia are out of coal.
From 1000 to 10000 men were forced
into idleness by the strike.

Days

Mersina. Asiatic Turkey. May "a
The situation at Adana, the scene of
the fatal rioting during the recent
anti-Christian outbreaks in Asiatic
Turkey, shows definite Improvement
in the last four days. The commits
sion of investigation is busily occu-
pied but no judgment has been given
nor have any punishments been exc
cuted. A considerable number of
Moslems are in prison. but they are
not men of important positions. Rev.
Herbert Adam Gibbons of Hartford,
Conn.,, missionary of the American
board of commerce for foreign mis-
sions, has testified before the commits
sion as to the killing of Armenians
at the government headquarters. No
other foreigners have yet been called
upon for evidence. The official records
show that $50 Moslems and ninety-five
non-Moslems were taken into custody
in connection with the disorders.

Two Hundred Thousand Peo.

Shows Closed

New York, May 24-Two hundred
thousand persons, according to esti-
mate, went down to Coney Island yes
terday to watch the police clap on the
lid as threatened by Mayor McClel-
lan's recent declaration that the Sun
day closing would be enforced. Those
who expected clash between the law
and the showmen were disappointed,
for no friction whatever occurred. All
amusement resorts ran as usual and
only six arrests were made. Two of
these were peddlers and two were for
of the excise laws. The gen.
eral gayety of the Island was not dis
turbed, which leads to the belief that
gambling and questionable places
alone are to be molested. Coney Is
landers are happy and predict a poss-
ing of the much talked of blue cloud.

Washington. May 24.-The shadow

the managers Of the pending tariff
bill with some alarm. A tentative
agreement has been reached between
the Republican faction that favors
such tax and the Democrats. that
seems to have some chance Of re-

So impressed are the Republican
leaders with the possibility of such an
outcome that Mr.. Aldrich has under

consideration an income tax proposi-
tion. 1t has been submitted to ma
jority of the Republicans. and meets
with their approval. 1t is not tc be
pushed, however, until the tariff bill
now under construction has had suffi-
cient time to show its revenue-raising
capacity.
Suggests an Investigation.
The Aldrich plan is to be presented
In the shape of a resolution directing
the judiciary committee of the senate
to investigate the subject. with a view
of preparing bill that will fully
meet the requirements of the consti-
tuition, and avoid the objections raised
by the United States supreme court
against the Wilson German income
tax law.
The judiciary committee is to be
directed to make it's report to the
senate next December, and if at that
time the new tariff law has not proved
that 1t will yield sufficient revenue to
meet the expenditures of the govern
ment, the income tax bill will be
taken up by congress. The income tax
resolutions is to be presented as a
substitute for the Bailey -Cummins
amendment now being prepared.
1t is understood that Senator Aid
richs plan to head off the Bailey
Cummins' income tax amendment has
been informally discussed with the
president, and that it meets with his
approval. At the same time the eff
fort will be made to refer the Bailey
Cummins' amendment to the same
committee.
Unquestionably, the vote will be
close. probably the closest that will
occur in the making of the tariff bill.
The Democrats strength in the SEN
ate is thirty-one votes, all of which
are pledged to support the amend
nent. Mr.. Bailey is counting upon
from sixteen to seventeen Republic
can votes to secure the adoption of
the amendment, and it is said that
some of the "progressives" have as
sured him that they can deliver that
many. Fifteen would be sufficient, If
the Democrats vote solidly for the
amendment.
How to Beat "Progressives."
On the other hand, the "conserva-
tive Republican," in charge of the
tariff bill say they have made some in
roads upon the progressive Repub-
lican" camp, and that OH the question
of referring the whole subject of All
income tax to the judiciary commit
tee for report at the next regular
session, they already have forty-five
votes pledged and they express con-
fidence of success
Until the understanding announced
Saturday the Democrats and pro
gressive" Republicans were far apart
over the form of the bill to be sup
ported. Senators Cummins and Bo-
rah, who were the chief advocates
among the latter for; an income tax
amendment. were in favor of grad
uated tax, according tC the size of the
incomes. and were opposed to tax
on corporations.
By surrendering til: 81 contentious.
in order to get vote, it was said
that an agreement would be reached
upon the principal features of the
Bailey amendment The plan is to
provide for fiat tax Of two or three
per cent upon incomes above $1,000,
and incomes of corporations above
the figure named.
In order that there shall be no
double taxation of individuals, pro-
vision will be made for deductions
where the tax upon corporation stock
has been paid through the corpora
tion itself.

of Europe, the gradual accumulation

As every piece of dover chest linen

Hints on Pumps

and pumps difficult to keep on at
the heel. but since this style OF
boot is fashionable they persist in
wearing them on all occasions. A piece
of waxed tape. the narrowest width
procurable. run through the binding at
the top of the shoe and tied beneath
the bow or rosette in front, will help
considerably to keep the boot from
pumping" up and down at the heel.
The same scheme may be tried with
satin evening slippers.
For suede pumps, black or white,
bows made Of the same leather are now
more fashionable than either felt ribbon
