.PR0CREss|VEs ARE JOYFUL
REBELS SAY TAFT WILL INSIST
ON LOWER TARIFF.
Twenty-Three congressman Opposing
Free Raw Materials Must Show
Duty Is Necessary.

Washington, July 1S.-The progress
sives are jubilant over the downward
revision statement issued by the pres
ident after his heart-to-heart talk with
20 congressman who had appealed to
him against the proposition of free
hides, free coal, free oil and free iron
ore. 1t bore out the presidents dec
laration, it was now time for him
to take hand in shaping the bill as
to particular rates.
The statement makes it clear that
the president will insist upon down
ward revision within the limitations
of the protective principle"
Favors Payne Over AIdrich.
This is generally taken to mean he
favors the Payne bill over the Aldrich
bill. AS to the question of free raw
materials, the statement shows the
president is still of open mind He is
inclined to believe duties are now
necessary on the articles he mentions.
He is from Missouri"
If the men opposed to free raw ma
terials can show him it is necessary
for the life of the industries they rep
resent that there be duty on these
articles he will be with them.
But he must be shown. That they
believe there will be some difficulty
in furnishing the necessary proof was
evident from the crestfallen appear
ance Of the aforesaid 23 when they
emerged from the presidents sanctum.
That the whole tariff situation is now
In the hands Of the president is adj
mitted.
Taft Is Final Referee.
The conferees have decided to pass
all their differences up to the White
House for adjustment. From now on
the presidents chief task will be to
secure the necessary votes from both
houses upon such schedules as he may
fix. 1t is not believed he will have
much difficulty with the house. With
the senate it may be different.
Speaker Cannon is on record as say
ing that the White House statement
contains nothing to which any good
Republican could object Senator
Bristow, one of the leaders of the Re-
publican insurgent forces, said:

Clinton, ILL.,, July 18.-Col. Thomas

NATIONAL PARLIAMENT PLACES
DEPosED MoNARcH's SECOND
SON ON PERSIAN THRONE.
.AzAD UL MuLK IS REGENT
Jealousy Among Factions Of Tribes
men Threatens to Disrupt Gov
ernment-Russia Holds
the Key.

Teheran, July 1S.-Conditions are
most threatening, despite the procla-
nation of the nationalist parliament
deposing Mohammed Ali and naming
his second son, Ahmed Mira, IL years
old AS shah, with Azad VI Mulk chief
of the Kajar royal house, as regent.
Three separate parties in opposition
to this party are fomenting discon-
tent and grave fears are entertained
of renewal of the guerrilla street
warfare which has convulsed Teheran
for three days.
The wild Bakhtirari tribesmen of
the south of Persia are foremost
among the troublemakers. They have
borne the brunt of all the fighting
in and about Teheran since the revo-
luton began, and they now claim that
they have been practically disregard
ed in the formation of the new pro-
visional government. They Joined the
rebellion hoping to place the control
of Persia in the hands of the south
ern provinces and determined to make
their leader, Sadarasad shah.
Tribesmen Are Jealous.
Sadarasad himself declared that he
would be shah under the new govern
ment He and his tribesmen are prac-
tically disregarded. Sipahdar, leader
of the northern rebels, is made gov
ernor of Heheran and minister of war,
and the tribesmen are jealous. They
are threatening to seize the throne
for Sadarasad.
A party of the dismissed members
of parliament are rallying around the
eldest son of Mohammed ALI half
brother of the new shah, Ahmed Mir
"a, and are threatening to rise against
the provisional gvernment. Many of
the common people of Persia would
support this movement, as they fear
the regency of Azad VI Mulk will be
little more than a Russian protec-
torate.
The deposed shah is hoping that the
Russian government will lend him the
power to regain his throne. He is with
several of his counsellors at the Rus
sian legation and is trying his best
to enlist the help of Russia.
Russia Holds the Key.
1t is now plain that the stability Of
the new government depends entirely
upon whether or not it has the support
of Russia. And the position of Russia
depends upon the tractability of the
regent.
The Russian domination of the stu
alton is evident in the placing Of Col.
Liakhoff, the Russian officer, in
charge of the combined force which
is policing the city. His appointment
is looked upon as tacit acquies-
cence on the part of the rebel leaders
in the control by Russia.
The English, French and German
representatives here are watching
jealousy the intrigues with their
home governments. The shah at the
Russian legation is heavily guarded
for fear of an attack by discontinued
rebels. He is waiting for the arrival
of Russian force either to take him
over the frontier, or as he still hopes,
to replace him on the throne.

The proposal to increase the rev.

defended on the ground that the state

a straightforward admission. Doubt
