Cannonism, with its back 10 the
wall. has been fighting for life IN the
House. The Speaker and the "resu-
lars of the Republican organization
who. beset by a combination OF lnsur-
gents and Democrats, were under az
tack continuously, conducted a de1en-
sive flibuster throughout a sleepless
night Thursday and continued the
struggle on Friday. The allies made
their determined fight for a change IN
House procedure that would deprive
the Speaker of autocratic power, eX-
clude him from membership IN the
committee on rules and give to the
representatives themselves the right tc
appoint that body.
At noon Friday the tense situation
existing never would have been sus'
pected from the appearance on the
floor of the House. Apparently 1t was
much more serene thar it had beer at
any time since the condition develop

BIG YANKTON PLANT CLOSES.
Cement Works Suddenly Shut Down
nv It's Owners.

Yankton's biggest industry, the
Western Cement works, has suddenly
shut down, after a visit of President
w. w. Plankinton, of Milwaukee,. and
other officials, all of whom reside in
Milwaukee,. The reason given 1t h a
the method of making the cement is to
be changed from the wet to the
dry process, something cOntem-
plated fOr. years, as wet cement can
not be made in competition with the
dry, although it is a much better ce-
ment. There are various rumors
afoat, one of which is that the plant,
which cost about 81, 0 900 in the
twenty years it has been operated. has
been sold to the Atlas Cement people,
who were in Yankton last year, osten-
sibly looking for a site and which took
big options. on chalk rock land. The
local officials refuse to say anything.

All Americans in Employ of Railway
System in Danger.
An attempt to renew the street rail-
way service at Bogota, Colombia,
Wednesday caused serious street riot

concession proved unpopular, and on

company and eventually forced a sus-
pension of traffic. At the same time
the American legation was stoned.
Through the intervention of American
Minister Dartholl the violence ceased
for a time, but was renewed Thursday
when the company sought to restore
service.

ployed by the company, and the Offices

NO RESULT REACHED
CANADIAN TARIFF SITUATION
STILL UNCHANGED.
Eleven Days Yet Ahead for Negotia-
lions and Chief Executive Believes
q Rate War Will BE Avertcd with
Our Northern Ncighbor.

At the conclusion Of a conference
which, with two or three interims,
covered practically the entire day,
President Taft Saturday night seemed
hopeful that a tariff w4r with Canada
may yet be averted. The negotiations
between the president and w. s. Field
ing. the Canadian minister of finance,
did not result either in agreement or
disagreement. There are many details
that remain to be worked out and at
this time 1t was declared tina the
following official statement literally
sums up the situation:
The president and Mr.. Fielding
were in conference In respect to the
tariff for several hours. No conclu-
sion was reached, but the situation re-
mains that of friendly negotiations"
Eleven days remain for Friendly
negotiations" before the maximum
rates Of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law
automatically go into effect against
those countries which are ''unduly
discriminatory " against the United
States. The law is arbitrary as to its
application. but the president is CIV
en- judicial powers in reaching a con-
clusion as to what constitutes undue"
discrimination.
Up to this time Canada has been
regarded by the presidents tariff ad-
visers as "unduly" discriminatory, and
unless concessions are granted by the
government to place the
United States on an equal footing with
and thirteen other countries
which nave been given preferential
rates under the Canadian tariff, it
seems inevitable hat Canada will be
he one important country in h
world against which the 25 per cent
Increase of the maximum American
rates will be applied.

The sinking occurred at midnight, and
Joe Raymond n brother, who were
