discovered a new class of waves, which

BETS $40
Says Congress VIII Still Be in
Session Aug. IS

Washington, July 27.-"Congress
will still be in session and wrestling
with the tariff on Aug. Is OF this
year"
That at least, is the opinion of
"Uncle Joe" Cannon, speaker OF the
house, and he is so sure of his ground
that he has put up $40 on the PROPOSE
tion, with former Congressman Wat
son OF Indiana on the other side OF the
question.
Tired and weary 'lawnakers, who
have been seeking consc sclation in the
thought that the final adjournment Of
congress Is not more than one week
OFF. received a rude shock today when
they heard Of the little transaction
which took place no later than Satur-
day afternoon. The speaker did not
ask odds.
This news or the bet sent q shiver
OF despair among those who have been
hoping that the tariff question is now
in the last stages of settlement. Rep
resentative Champ Clark. the minor
ity leader, who has been complaining
20 all his friends that the deay In pass
ang the tarif bill has cost him $4,000,
In cancelled Chautauqua engagements,
learned OF the speakers bet In woeful
silence.
Several persons tried to learn the
reason for Mr.. Cannon's pessirnisna,
but the speaker would offer no expla-
nation. He said 1t was d secret and
tha& he never Kauabled.

miles Off Dover.
Five French torpedo boats which

by the fast flying monoplane. Latham
had started earlier in the day than he
proposed to fly from Calais across the
channel End continue his journey
overhead TO London, sixty-five miles
inland, eclipsing the recent effort Of
Louis Bleriot. The accident prevented

it has made better. The Interstate

schedule time, S o'clock, and despite
the early hour there were quite large
number of people waiting to enter the
gates.
Horsemen and others who have at
tended all of the expositions in the
state say that this is the best fair that
has been held i'm the state, from the
point OF exhibits and attractions. In
attendance. however all depends large
ly on the condition OF the weather
during the next three days. Tbs
morning was ideal, and IL Is the earn
est hope Of the fair officials as well
as that of thousands OF people in the
state that 1t will continue during the
remainder of the exposition.
Better Than State Fair.
Comparing the interstate fair with
the state fair of last year. it Is an easy
matter to see that il is far in the lead
of the last years show The exhibits
are more numerous and better. Pres.
G. o. Smith OF the fair, said this morn
