TARIFF REPORT ADOPTED
House Adopts Conference Report
in Final Votes, 1es
to 1873. ..

Washington, D. c., July 3.-The
house tonight adopted the conference
report on the tariff bill 1876 to 1873.
! Twenty republicans, among them
Congressman Gronna Of N. D., voted
against the report and two democrats
for 1t. The vote was the climax of
an eleven hour session, conducted
through most oppressive heat, but
Notwithstanding it was enlivened by
dozen or more speeches of more or
less fiery nature. The temperature
did not deter vast throng from 60
ing to the capitol to witness the
closing scene.
Perhaps the most sensational speech
OF the day was by Mr.. Mann, Of I'LL
nois, who said that he would vote
against the report provided the rates
on pulp and print paper as reduced
by the house were not retained. He
denounced that particular schedule
and he declared that Canada would
take such action regarding pulp wood
and print paper as to place an almost
prohibitory price upon paper in this
country.
When the roll call on the conference
report had been completed there was
breathless silence while the tally
clerk was making his totals. The
speaker announced that the yeas
numbered 1876 and the noes 1888 and
that the report was adopted. The
house then adjourned with the report
ready to be sent to the senate for ac-
tion Monday.
+ It is stated that both houses will
adopt the report and that Pres. Taft
y will sign the bill, although not thoro-
ly satisfied. He believes 1t a revision
downward, in the main, as promised
by the republican platform.
The bill will be rushed in the SEN
ate where adoption, 1T is@ said, will
be had with little debate. It is said
that the vote may be taken Thursday
and the extraordinary session Of con-
gress adjourned before the cid oflhe
week. A digest Of the bill will be
published when 1t becomes law.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
For big Crop as Harvest Approaches
with Increase In Acreage and
Yield. The Hail Storm.

Further reports of the hail storm
last Friday night are to the effect
that while the hail was extremely
destructive In certain localities in
this county yet the damage was not
SO widespread as at first supposed.
The worst losses we're at the north
east boundary of jamestown and the
strip thru Bloom and at Ypsilanti
and northeast. This storm seemed
to run from about three miles north
Of town southeast to the southwest
corner of Barnes county.
Another part of the same general
storm Friday night hailed out Sec
tion In southeastern Foster thru
Kensal and Courtenay, Stutsman
county, and Rogers and Sanborn.
Barnes county, then circled around
Valley City where many fields were
beaten fiat and q total loss resulted.
At a point q few miles south of Val
ley City the storm was terrific,
smashing screens and breaking much
valuable glass. The loss covered by
the Alliance Hail Association was
not as heavy as at first estimated but
will probably pass sl5, 600 from the
storm.
The hail storm, while hard on
those who were struck, destroyed but
very small per cent Of the county's
yield and was local only in its effect.
As a whole the grain in the county
looks fine and q big harvest is nov is
prospect. The barley harvest zig now
we'll underway over the entire county
and the yield generally is good with
some light weight barley being cut.
Oats Is turning rapidly and many
fields OF early sown wheat are also as.
Stunning golden yellow tinge over
the county. The wheat harvest will
be general by the 18th and the largest
part well out Of the way before the
last Of August.
All over the state come in the re-
port of excellent prospects, which
have been frightened by the clear,
perfect growing weather, with the
exception OF . few local showers and
hail storms, the past week thru
