Another ANTARCTIC Expedition.

Edinburgh, May 5.-Dr. William
Bruce of the Scottish Ocesnographicsl
Laboratory, is today deeply engrossed in
preparations for an attempt to Guido
Lieutenant Shackleton, as an Antarctic
explorer. Instead of approaching the
pole from its nesrest side open TO nsvi-
cation, aud to returning to his base, DR..
Bruce proposes to land at point where
the coast of the supposed Antartic con-
tinent is 'srthest from the pole; 10
cross right over the continent, and to
rejoin bis vessel on the other side. He
is already negotiating for ship Of from
$50 to 800 tons. His party of six

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAYS, 1909.

THAT such an attack upon repuoIi'
ran tarlf bill as that made yesterday
evening by Senator DOlliVer, OF Iowa,
upop the Aldrich bill, could be possible,
discredits the whole measure as party
nroposition, and leaves the public to
iudge the influences aud purposes which
can make its enactment into law a
probability. Never before In his sens-
torial career has Mr.. Aldrich been talked
10 So he was yesterday by MIR. Dolilver'
Never before has an advocate OF the pro-
teotiye system found it necessary to de-
nounce 10 such unmeasured terms the
iupslery aud trickery by which 1t is pro-
oosed to use that system for the beneh'
of favored interests. Most Of his attack
,vos directed at Mr.. Aldrich, who feebly
attempted to defend himself and his
schedules by denying the assertions oil
the Iowan aud promising to refute them
at some future time. 1t was field oSy
for tariff revision, even If no tangible
results are obtained in the proposed leg
islatiou, for there was exposed TO the
gszs of the country the manifest inJuS'
tees, the absurdities and the concealed
benefits which have heretofore passed
for evidences of statesmsnship in the
preparation of tariff legislation. Mr.
DoIIiver showed that Mr.. Aldrich can
not aud should not be trusted to make q
tariff bill and that no particle OF consid-
Grafton had been given the great Amerl'
can public in the mad desire OF the H.
terests to make the tariff an instrument
of extortiOn.

Washington, May 5
The income tax which President Taft
ia described as fsvOriug to help the
couatry out Of its financial strsights is
way down on the presidential preference
list. Within the last "a hours, the ex-
ecntive took occasion to define his posi-
ton to q party Of callers aud, instead OF
asserting that he believed the income tax
should be enacted at once, he went into
detail to show that he was far from fav-
oring an immediate enactment OF such a
statute. Ia the FIRST place, the presi-
dent said, he vas in favor OF enacting the
tariff bill substantially Is it now stands
and giving it thorough trial. II it did
not yield enough money to change the
deficit into 8 surplus, he said, was 10
favor Of passing a graduated inheritance
tax lsw and If the revenue gained in this
manner was found to be short of the
couniry's needs, he advocated the psss-
age OF law taxing dividends on corPo-
ratlons. If after all these expedants
had been tried and found inadequate,
ne would then resort to the Income tax.

SENATE.

With his strength renewed by a
nights rest, Senator DolliVer resDI ned
his assault on the Aldrich tariff bill to-
day. As result Of the report in the
newspapers showing, the iuteres ling
character OF his dis course the gsllI ries
were dcnsely crowded. 10 the abs 'nce
of much routine business the way was
open to Mr.. Do liver soon after the
morning prayer ~ I'd there we're few ieu-
ators present, Senator Nelson took a
look at the AGAR chairs, smiled gri mly
and called. atteni ion to the absence ut
quorum. A rol call brought the great
majority of senators to the floor. "W hen
the session clos ed yesterday" he said,
81 was making considerable progress
'.oWsrd proving. that substantial, unkn own
(, and unknows BILE advances had been
madein the cotton schedule by the Sc nate
committee. The day closed With some
what hurried and excited statement OF
the senator from Rhode Island (Aldricb)
that il would be shown that no changes
had been made. the fact is that the
phraseology and framework OF the cotton
| schedule have been 80 made IS to effect
| serious changes in rates, plenty OF them
| in the wrong direction"
He said that Mr.. Aldrich had threat
ened to disparIge him BY printing 10 the
Record arguments similar to his that
we're made by Messrs. Jones and Vest,
democratic senators, dozen years ego.
Mr.. Deliver added Lhat il 1t was true
that Mr.. Vest had found the same de-
fects in the mysterious schedules then
that he, Deliver, had found by hard
study now, it would be a compliment,
because few grester men than Vest had
sat 10 the Senate.
Combating Senator Aldrich's state
meut that in reducing the sd valorem
rates of the cotton schedule OF the House
| bill to specify II rates, there had been
no increases made by the Senate COM
mi,tee. MFR. Deliver produced figures
which he claimed show that on plain
cotton goods valued at 8 cents square
gard where the DiDgley rates OF duty In
| The House bill showed an ad vslerem Of
two cents, the Senate bill bad made It
two snd one-quarier cents.
At the conclusion Of Senator Delivers
remarks Mr.. Beveridge urged that the
Senate should meet at u O'Clock every
morning instead Of II for at least a week
| 10 order to enable the senators to ex-
anime the many briefs that are being
\ presented to them in regard to the
various sections of the bill.
Senator Aldrich replied that the Sem
ate had been devoting only-six hours
day 10 the consideration OF the bill
leaving eighteen hours tn senators to
give to other things eff we are to
wait until the senator from Indiana
reads and digests all the briefs sent 70

DOLLIVER ATTACKS ALDRICH.
Not since Senator Aldrich has been
the republican leader of the Senate Las
be been so severely arraigued by men,
Der of his own party as he WAS durrg
the three no urs' speech which Senator
Deliver, of lows, delivere d yesterday
afternoon. Nor has any republican
tariff measure been more strongly con-
dsmned during the past quarter of
century by any Influential member I
the republican party than was the Al
drich- Payne bill when Senator DolliVer
yesterday let loose his batteries OF eIo-
duence aud facts upon the measure.
The speech was extremely significant,
representing a defiant branch in the re-
publican party.
The Iowsn showed complete mastery
of bis subject. When he reached the
WOODEN and cotton schedules he showed
plainly that he had fortified himself
with thorough knowledge of the
trade and of republican tariff framing
methods. When the Senate adjourned
at 5 o. clock Senator Dolliver had torn
the WOODEN schedule into sbreds aud
patches and was In the midst OF
powerful onslaught upon the cotton
scbedule. As the Senate had been in
session six hours, 40 adjournment was
taken until IL O'Clock this morning,
when Senator Dolliver resumed.
After the adjournment OF the Senate
there was su Informal conference 10 the
room of Senator Aldrch, attended By
Senators AldTich, Peorose, Lodge, Kean
and other members of the "elder states
men" groDp, whose plans were thorough
ly dissranged by Senator Delivers a.
tack of yesterday afternoon. Senator
Aldrich was especially restless under
the CALLING FIRE leveled at him by Sena-
tor Deliver and did everything within
bis power to discredit the position Of
the Iowau, but the latter proved him
self to be the equal Of the republican
leader, and gave the galleries ss we'll
as the democrats and most of the young
er republicans many laughs at the ex-
pense of Mr.. Adrich.
