WHAT ISEXPECTED=0F
CONGRESS THIS Term.
Of Tariff Revision Uncertain
appropriation Bills Make Record
Passage Democrats Wanttoho|d
Off the Reapportionment Bill.

Washington, Dec. ii.-A single week
of Congress has not cleared the at
lnosphere as to whether there will be
any serious effort at the present ses-
sion toward tariff tinkering. While
many bills have been introduced in the
House for the repeal of duties on lum.
Der. food products and many of the
raw materials, they have come entirely
from the Democratic minority and are
regarded as indicating the intentions of
individuals next session when the
Democrats will be in the majority of
The House. In the Senate, the only
tariff activity has been in connection
with the proposed amendment of the
rules presented by Senator Cummins.
The change suggested is designed to
permit revision Of the tariff by sched-
u]eS and prevent consideration OF
amendments to schedules other than
those specifically under discussion. The
opposition to the proposition insist
that it involves cloture in form that
has been repungent to the Senate rules
for a hundred years. Friends of the
Cumlnins scheme point to Pres. Taft's
endorsement of tariff revision by
schedules and declare that such a rule
is necessary if the Presidents plan is
to carry.
The passage through the House of
two of the big appropriation measures
in the first week of a session was an
unhcard of thing in the history of
Congress, especially when it was con-
sidered that the bills were the Indian
and the rivers and harbors bills, both

Bowdoinbam Postmaster
Dsres Not Open Safe
After Yeggnen Have Plugged
L with Nitro-glyceline.
10 Obliged 10 Send TO Richmond to
Borrow Postage Stamps.

Low doinlian,, Me-, Dec. 1l.-Ycgg-
men visited this town Friday night but
were evidently frightened away before
they had an opportunity to blow the
safe at the Bowdoinllam post Office.
When Postmaster w. w. Brown ar
rived Saturday morning he found that
one Of the front windows OF the office
had been broken open, the door leading
from the public space into the private
Office bad been forced, and the knob
knocked oil the safe.
\ closer examination showed that
the hole thus left in the safe Nas full
Of nitro-glycerinc and there was some
Of the explosive on the floor. Post
master Brown telcphoned to the post
Office inspector and one Of the depart
ment's detectives is expected to ar
rive as soon as possible.
owing to the presence of the eXplo-
Siye in the safe Postmaster Brown did
not attempt to open it and he was I'M
able TO find any one in town who was
willing to undertake the job. He sent
10 Richmond and borrowed 900 stamps
for the immediate needs Of the office.
II is thought the yegSnen were
frightened away by the presence of a
party Of High school boys ard girls
who went to an entertainment at Bow
dOin Center Friday evening, and rc-
turned home about l O'Clock.
About 10 weeks ago yeggmen visited
the Office. blew the safe and made a
large haul. Postmaster Brown has
since then bought new safe.
