National Manufacturers Association Is
sues Statement.
New York. July 20.-The board of
directors of the National Association
of Manufacturers today issued the fol-
lowing statement addressed "To the
Congress of the United States"
"The National Association of Manu-
facturers indorses any reasonable meas
ure to secure by tax the requisite mon
ey which. together with the tariff du-
ties, shall be sufficient to support this
government.
"We deplore the effort of dema-
gogues to segregate American citizens
and make government supporters of
one class and charity recipients Of an
other; we'll knowing the character of
our best. grade workmen, we understand
that they do not relish attempts to
make of them recipients of any other
mans contributions.
"We therefore recommend if neces-
sary for income purposes, the enact
ment of measures providing just and
equitable tax upon all citizens. AS an
illustration, We suggest one-eighth of
per cent on all incomes; this would
require rs cents from the man who re-
ceives $500 year and 81, $50 from the
man who receives 81. 900, 0OO a year.

Tuesday, July 20.

Washington. July 20.-Wood pulp,
print paper and lumber, to say nothing
of hides, iron ore and other so-called
raw material, are receiving the most
serious attention from the conferees.
The paper and pulp fight bids fair to
be especially stubborn and probably
will be somewhat prolonged.
Much progress has been made on the
cotton schedule, but hosiery and a
number OF other leading items of cot.
ton manufacture are causing the tariff
arbitrators much concern. The draw
back provision is practically the only
important administrative feature that
remains unsettled.
Although the rates Of duty have
been fixed on practically all of the
steel products, there has been pro-
test against the increased rate on
structural steel punched for use. II
was thought that compromise on lead
and its products was in REV, but this
schedule also has proved difficult OF
adjustment. The duties on zinc In
blocks and pigs, which were increased
by the senate over the house rates, II
another matter which is delaying the
settlement of the metals schedule.

Ss turday, July ".


Washington. July 1.-THE tariff
conferees today settled the question Of
giving the secretary of the treasury
authority to issue 50-year 3 per cent
bonds to cover the entire cost of the
Panama canal. The effect of the bond
provision is to repeal the limit of the
bond authorization of the Spooner act,
although not interfering with 2 per
cent bonds issued under that authority
to the amount of SS4, ,63l, $50. The
estimated cost of the canal is S375,-
2Ol, 1000, which will be the figure
named in the new authorization, and
bonds may be issued as they are needed
at the rate Of per cent to the extent
of $3.50, 500, ,O20.
There is no doubt that ! per cent
tax on the net earnings Of corporations
will be accepted.
Practically the only subject consid-
cred during the forenoon session of the
conference was the woolen schedule.
A reduction of 5 per cent was made in
the Dingley rates on women's and
children's dress goods made of cotton
warp. Three changes in the wool
schedule were agreed upon. Ali of
these were reductions. the lower duty
on women's and children's dress goods
being made on woolen fabrics weigh
ing four ounces or over to the square
yard and woven into contton wark. A
reduction Of 25 per cent was also made
on yarns valued at 30 cents pound OF
less.

A BRIEF DAILY REPORT ON
THE WORK OF CONGRESS

tax paid on domestic alcohol used in
articles such as perfumes and cosmetics
manufactured for the foreign trade was
tentatively accepted.
The real struggle over rates fixed by
the house and senate and which was to
have begun today. was deferred be-
cause of the desire to get reports on a
number of subjects which were referred
to subconferees and committees for in
vestigation. In order that no time
should be lost. it was decided to take
up at once the administrative section
in their order.
When adjournment was taken at 6 80
o'clock the senate maximum and min
imum provision had been accepted ten
tatirvely with the exception Of the pro-
vision for the employment of tariff ex-
perts. The house conferees argued
that the ways and means committee
and the senate finance committee have
the investigation of tariff matters as
their special province.

JAPAN DISTINCTLY

Premler's Organ Says Terms Offered

Toxic, July 20.-The Kokumin, one
Of the most influential of the Japanese
newspapers, and which is generally re-
garded as the mouthpiece Of Marquis
Katsura, the premier. in matters per-
tanning to the governments policy. in
an article today discussed the situation
between Japan and China and strikes a
somewhat alarmist note.
1t was expected, says the article,
that the withdrawal of the proposal to
refere to The Hague arbitration tri-
bunal the differences between China
and Japan, preceded the adoption of
what was hoped would be conciliatory
policy by China. But this expectation
has not been realized. China now pro-
poses wholly unacceptable terms and
refuses to reply to Japan's request for
reconsideration. The article concludes
"The Japanese government is exer-
cising all possible patience, but is not
carrying its endurance to the point Of
sentimentaIity. Unless China's mood
changes before the conclusion of the
current month. Japan will be obliged
to assume different attitude"

Pekin Diplomat Sees Deep Meaning
in Cranes Appointment.
Pekin, July 20.-The appointment
by President Taft of Charles r. Crane,
of Chicago, a man unknown to the
Eastern world or in diplomatic circles,
to be minister to China, is recognized
in Pekin official quarters as the break
ing of new ground as well as the most
striking action with reference to
American representation in China for
the last so years.
The Russians and French in the Chi
nese capital have attached special sig
nificance to the transfer of w. w.
Rockhill from Pekin to st. Petersburg,
holding it to mean Russo-American
alignment on Chinese affairs.
High Chinese officials declare that
Japan is China's greatest enemy, but
Great Britain has unofficilaly warned
China that the Anglo-Japanese alliance
was never more strong than it is at
present, and has urged that China de-
wise amicable relations with Japan.

Washington, July l6.-Twenty four
hours would see the end of the work Of
the senate and house conferees on the
tariff bill and substantial agreement
upon the question at issue but for the
five propositions ore. coal. hides
oil and lumber-upon which the presi-
dent stands firm for radical reductions
or even abolition of the tariff.
The rates on silks and woolen goods
were determined today. The senate
won on both. On silks there will be a
considerable advance over existing du-
ties and on woolens there is TO be no
change from the present law, except in
regard to wool tops, which are to be
given a new classification. The duty
on tops is prohibitive now, and it is
predicted that it will continue so, even
after the reduction is put into force.

Moro Bandit. Jikiri, Had Sworn to
Kill 100 Men.
Manila, July I9.-When Jikiri, the
Moro bandit chief who was killed with
all his followers in q desperate battle
with troops and constabulary near Pa
tian, on Jolo island, July 5, began his
career as an outlaw, he swore he would
kill 100 men before he died.
The record of the murders he COM
mitted is not complete, but it 10 stated
in dispatch received today from Fam
boanga that the bandit probably made
good his oath, as the partial record at
hand shows he took the lives of nearly
hundred persons.
From the latest reports of the fight,
all but one of the several women in the
cave where the outlaws made their last
stand were wives of Jikiri.
But one of the women escaped. She
was the wife of one of the Jikiri fol-
lowers and accepted the safe conduct
offered by the Americans before the
assault on the cave began.
Lieutenant Joseph A. Baer, Of the
Sixth cavalry. is agreed by all who saw
the fight to have been the hero of the
battle. He was armed with Win
chester pumpgun with which ne did
great execution. His timely rescue OF
Lieutenant Arthur H. Wilson, who was
struggling with Jikiri and already des.
perately wounded, when Baer shot and
killed the bandit, and his certain aim,
which brought down three other out
laws, are the talk of army circles.
Baer killed four of the eight bandits
slain.

Prominent Chicagoan Accepts Post at
Chinese Capital.
Washington, July 17.-Charles r.
Crane, of Chicago, vice president of
the Crane company, has been chosen by
President Taft to represent the United
States as minister to China, succeeding
w. w. Rockhill, who was taken from
China to be ambassador to Russia. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Crane has an
nounced his Willingness to accept, and
that his appointment awaits the ex-
change of usual preliminary formali-
ties between the two countries.
The Chinese mission, under policy
with regard to Oriental affairs already
inaugurated by the present administ.a-
tion, will be one of the most important
posts in the diplomatic service. Pres
ident Taft has experienced much diff
Guilty in finding the right man for the
place. He believes he has just the
person in Mr.. Crane, who not only
stands high in the business world, but
has made an exhaustive study of inter
national politics.
