Senator Taylor Relieves the Monot-

Address in Lighter Vein.

The Senate voted on the hides question

amendments had been defeated the
amendment of the finance committee fix

hides was agreed to by the vote of 46 to
80. This is the rate of the present law.
but under the rulings of the Treasury De-
partment Is applicable only to hides
weighing more than twenty-five pounds.
The House placed all hides on the free
list, but the committee restored the Ding
ley policy by adding them to the non
dutiable list. The Senate sustained its
committee.
Senator McLaurin undertook to have
the provision amended so as to make the
duty applicable to hides weighing less
than twenty-five pounds, but failed. his

on the free list was also lost.
After being compelled for three days to
listen to speeches on the somewhat dry
subject Of free or dutiable hides. the
Senate was respited yesterday by an ad-
dress by Mr. Taylor, which was in lighter
vein.
The Tennessee senator sailed into the
ranks of the republicans, and by good
natured satires upon the protectionists'
arguments made by such men as Adrich.
Warren, Hepburn, Smoot, Lodge and
Flint, afforded much amusement, assert

sought to justify every raise In import

sary to protect American labor.

SANITARY CONVENTION CALLED
HEALTH OF AMERICAN REPUB-
Lies TO BE DISCUSSED.
Sanitation of Cities, Especially Sea
ports, to Be Taken Up at San
Jose, Costa Rica.

The call for the fourth International
sanitary convention of American repub-
lies, to be held in San Jose, Costa Rica,
December %, 1909 to January 2, 1910. has
just been made by DR.. Walter Wyman,
chairman of the International sanitary
bureau. John Barrett, director of the
bureau of American republics, has for
warded this call to the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the countries interested.
The provisional program for the con-
vention has been prepared and Is being
submitted to the various governments. to-
gether with the call. A prominent place
is given on this program to consideration
o. practical means for the adoption OF
measures intended to obtain the SANTA
ton of cities and especially of ports. Re-
ports will be called for from the different
delegates in regard to the sanitary regu-
lations and laws in the various countries
and in regard to the manner In which the
recommendations of the three previous
conventions have been put into practice.
The delegates will be asked to present
statistics relating to the registration OF
the movement of population and the rate
of mortality in each country, specifying
those Of ports and principal cities
Among the subjects proposed for dis
cussion at the convention are measures
relating to yellow fever, bubonic plague
and other diseases; new discoveries with
respect to the transmission of yellow
fever and malaria, besides the mosquito
bite: the necessity of the adoption, by the
European nations, of the convention of
Washington and other sanitary measures
subsequently adopted by the organization
with respect to such colonies as they have
In America.
1t will be suggested that an organiza-
ton be made in each country represented
of a commission of three physicians or
health officers to act as delegates of the
international sanitary bureau OF Wash
ington or Montevtdeo, and to form part
of the international sanitary information
committee of the American republics.

palisades OF New Jersey. Several COM
panies have been organized and charter
ed for that purpose, several bills have
been introduced into Congress, granting
permission to bridge the navigable
stream, which Is within the jurisdiction
Of the federal government. but each
time, for some reason or another. usual
~ because of the enormous expense, the
plan has fallen through. and there is
only one bridge over the Hudson river
south of Albany. That Is at Poughkeep-
sic, and, when it was built. ten or
the wonders of the world. 1t is canti-
lever 12,6O6 feet, or about two and half
miles. long, reaching from highland to
highland at an elevation of 212 feet above
the water.
The width Of the river is 6,767 feet from
pier to pier. and the cost of the bridge
was $3.500,OOO. 1t was originally intend
ed to take passenger trains from New
York to New England. but shorter
route has been adopted The bridge is
now owned by the Reading railroad. and
Is used almost exclusively for the trans
portation OF coal from the mines of
Pennsylvania to New England. Several
years ago 1t was condemned as unsafe,
and was practically rebuilt by the rail-
road company, and the weak places
strengthened.
Proposed Interstate Action.
IHTSe years ago the legislatures OF New
York and New Jersey appointed an inter-
state commission to ascertain and re-
port concerning the cost and the practi-
cability Of bridge across the Hudson
river between the New Jersey highlands
and the city of New York, and to recon-
mend to the legislature where 1t should
be placed. The other day Gov. Hughes
and Gov. Fort met the Secretary of War
and the members Of the interstate bridge
commission upon a yacht and cruised up
and down the river listening to the ex-
plantations Of the engineers In vestiga-
tion has shown that a bridge from 57th
street, Manhattan, across to Weehawken
would cost upward Of $4,000 900. and
that an equally good one could be built
from 10th street to Fort Lee on the
New Jersey side for $40 COX, 600; and from
10th street for $15,OOOOOO.
There Is good deal OF opposition from
residents along Riverside Drive, from
the trustees of Columbia University, Bar
nard College and other educational in
stitutions and hospitals in that locality,
and from the chapter Of st. Johns Ca
thedral. and that location has practically
been given up. The two governors agree
that with the underground railways that
will soon be in operation In the lower
part OF New York 1t would be better to
place the bridge at roth street. so as
to accommodate the farmers ald resi-
dents Of that section. It has not been
definitely decided. however
