TARTFF BTLL MADE PhOGRESS, Mr. Aldrich Will Ask Senate Today to
 Fix Date for Vote.

Washington, May 21-There were some squalls today on the senatorial sea but the tariff bill made progress. number of paragraphs were passed upon, and while in most instances they were disposed of with the understand ing that the senate might return to them. it is the general. opinion that very little. if any, change will be made in most of them.
 The house rates were retained in the polished plate glass, paragraph 1, but with the understanding that when the bill is taken up in the senate proper, it now being considered as in the com rnittee of the whole, there will be some alterations. The articles considered during the day ranged all the way from mica and feldspur to automobiles.
 There were many sharp criticisms of one another by various senators, asd near the hour of adjournment Mr. Hale criticised MT. Beveridge as seek ing newspaper notoriety by his fre- quent speeches. The charge was de- nied by the Indiana senator who said that he was merely seeking to do his duty.
 It was strongly hinted that night sessions would soon be resorted to, unless better progress was made.
 MT Aldrich stated that on tomorrow he would ask the senate to fix @ day for voting upon the tariff bill.

GETTING READY FOR
 THE LOAN EXHIBIT.
Committee Anxous to Know About
 Articles by June 10.

Through a number of sub commit tees that have been appointed, much work is being done on the loan exhibit which is counted upon as being one of the conspicuous features of inter- est at the coming anniversary. This is to be arranged for by the local chapter Of the D. A. R., which has appointed Mrs. A. A. Browning gen. eral chairman.
 One thing that is important is for the committees to know as soon as possible just what things they are to have in the exhibit, as there is to be a catalogue made and all the articles ought to be known by June 10. Those having articles that they want to get into the catalogue should let Mrs. Browning know by June 10 at the lat est.
 As previously mentioned, the exhibit is to be held in the Converse art gall lery and everything possible for the safety of the articles loaned is to be provided for. The building is fire proof, insurance is to be taken out or the exhibits, caretaker employed nights, all small articles are to be in locked cabinets or cases, and two eX- perienced movers have been engaged to move all the furniture. The com mittees will send for any articles which they are told about, and peo- pie having articles should notify Mrs. Browning at once at 116 Union street. Wherever possible of course it is hC ped that people will send their contribu- tions themselves
 It is expected to have the exhibit open a number of days besides the two anniversary days. and it is also expected ot have a register which all are expected to sign.
