Washington, March 24.-Like a
South american revolution, the in
surrection in the republican ranks in
the house refuses to be subdued.
While there is no apparent indication
of any movement on the part of the
insurgents to reopen their fight, it
is known that no rule to limit amend
ments to the tariff bill has been
brought in because of the uncertain
ty of the intentions of Representa-
tive Murdock, of Kansas, and the
other insurgents, 1t is understood
that the rules committee is merely
awaiting a favorable opportunity to
bring in a rule which will limit the
changes in the Payne bill to commit
tee amendments. This rule, which
probably will be presented before next
week. will not shut off the reading of
the tariff bill under the five minute

There is absolutely no city in the

has more influential business men, and
no city in the west that I would rather

with running along in the same old
rut, apparently caring little whether
more people came here or not. But
since the Commercial club has started
it's campaign of publicity, most Won
derful change is apparent People
throughout the country are talking
about this section, and results are
bound to come from the work thus far
done. At the A-Y-P. exposition, the
Walla Walla valley booth is the general
topic of conversation, and hundreds of
people may be expected to pass through
this city on their return trip, provided
railroad connections can be made salts

people to thoroughly understand what
conditions really are, they cannot be
kept away, but will come pouring in
from every quarter
"It is pleasing to note that the bust
ness men have gotten together for the
general upbuilding of the city, and as
frequent visitor to this part of the
state I take much pleasure in noting
that you have outgrown that general
air of self satisfaction and have come to
