Senate Tariff Makes More
General Revision of Rate
Than House

Washington, April 19-The senate
tariff bill, so far as rates are concern
ed. was completed tonight. but 1t was
decided that in making report, Chair
man Aldrich Will announce reser-
walton on certain important schedules
for future action. These reservations
will include hides, steel rails, Wood
pulp and crude petroleum.
Chairman Aldich assorted tonight
that the senate committee had made 4
more general revision of rates than
WAS done by the house committee on
ways and means and that reductions
had been made on a far greater num-
Der of articles, This did not moan
that there would be reduction of rev.
enues but there would be recommend
ed bonafide revision downward OF the
tariff.
Present indications are that the COM
mittee will report the bill TO the sen
ate on Tuesday next
The administrative feature of the
BILL In all probabilities. will not be
reported for another week or more,
Something of the proposed tariff bu-
reau. which has been the object of a
great deal of study was learned to-
night. although plans for the establish
ment of such a bureau Will not be
completed until other administrative
features OF the bill are reached.
According 10 the present plans the
bureau will consist OF a consolidation
of the bureau OF manufactures anil
the bureau OF statistics, which are un-
der the department of commerce and
labor, the bureau Of trade relations,
and the state department, and the Gus,
toms division of the treasury depart
ment 1t is Intended that this consoli-
dation shall be placed under the head
of the treasury department and that
1t shall act In an advisory capacity to
the president in the event of the adop-
ton of Senator Aldrich's maximum
and minimum provision for the applica.
tlon OF the tariff law.
AS this provision gives considerable
discretion TO the president, the senate
committee deems II wise TO formulate
a bureau that would at all times be
competent to act in an advisory ca
pacity In the matter of administering
the tariff law.

WHEN CATS GO A-FTsHING.

When the cats well-known aversion

stances this domestic feline has al

overpower its repugnance to getting
wet. The best-known instance Is that
reported by auckland, the English
naturalist.
fisherman Of Portsmouth had a
cat which bore the name OF Pud-
dies. and this animal used TO accom-
pany him on his nightly fishing trips.
AS they neared the fishing-grounds,
the cat would perch itself in the bow

for the schools AS soon as the boat
would get into a school, overheard

ON THE WHARF.
Rv z w. FrentZ.

For a boy who lives most OF the
year away from the sea, the little
town OF Bayhead is a fine place 10
spend the summer There Is always
something to do there. When IT IS
pleasant, you can dig CLAIMS or go
grabbing, or fish off the end OF the
old wharf. When II rains, you can go
up into Captain Bllly's saiiloft anu
watch him sew with a funny DIG
thimble held in the palm OF his hand;
or you can sit in Captain Benny S
boat-shop and see him build dorles
while he tells stories.
To Walter Manly the rainy days
were almost as happy as the pleasant
ones, for he liked both Captain Billy
and Captain Benny, and was al
ways glad to be with them. The TWO
old men were brothers. Both had
been sailors all their lives, and TOT
many years had hunted whales IN the
south seas. Captain Billy had only
one leg, and had to use a crutch
when me walked.
Walter had wondered a good many
times how Captain Billy had lost MS
leg. but. of course, he did not like
10 ask him. But knowing that ne
and Captain Benny were brothers.
he felt that he might ask Captain
Benny. so one rainy day, when ne
and Thornton Hadley were in the
boat-shop, he put the question.
How did Captain Billy lose his
leg?" the captain repeated after Wal
ter. "Why. the blight OF rope took
II on"
THE bite OF a rope!" cried Wal
ter. "How could a rope bite mans
leg on? guess you are making iun
OF me, captain"
mo no. my boy It was the blight
of a rope but not the kind you are
thinking or"
"A blight Is a loop, and 1t Is
thing a sailor Is always afraid o.
and a whaler, especially"
And then the captain took a rope
and showed them what he meant
He told them about the hunting Oi
whales; how the small boats leave
the ship, and the men row quietly mp
20 the whale until they are near
enough for the man in the bow TO
throw the harpoon, which is short
iron spear with a long. fine rope fas'
tened TO Il; and he told them how
careful the men must be 10 see that
one rope is coiled just right In the
tub al the bow OF the boat because
when the whale feels the harpoon
he usually dives and goes down so
