Uskub, July 29:-A widespread
reactionary plot, aimed to over
throw the young Turkish movement
and restore Abdul Hamid to the
throne, was unearthed here today,
following the assassination last
night of the customs director, a
prominent official of the young
Turks party. 1t is said that the po-
lice have found evidence that the
reactionaries are being aided by
former supporters of the young
Turks, who are incensed at the au-
tocratic power assumed by the men
wha had promised to bring about an
era of freedom.

THE SHELTER
TRUST HELPED
BY THE TARIFF
Senator Bristow, of Kansas
Repeats His Charges as
to Favoritism.
SAYS DUTY ON LEAD WAS
RAISED By SENATE

Manhattan, Kan, July Ex-senator
Joseph l., Bristow, in speech here
charged Speaker Cannon and the
- stand-pat' congressman with manip-
ulation of the lead schedules Of the
tariff bill In support of the smelter
trust.
A duty not measuring the differ
enee In the cost of smelling at home
and abroad, as promised in the repub-
lican platform, but from $3.50 to $500
higher than the entire cost of smelling
in this country was imposed on lead,'5
the senator said.
"This was done, not in the interest
of protecting a struggling American
industry, but in the interest of a monop-
oily, controlled by the Guggenheims,
backed by the great Rockefeller fnan-
cial interests.
Cannon Ignored Pledges.
Because l presume to object to this

democrat, demagogue, lunatic and

to the senate and was referred to the
committee on finance, of which Mr.. Al
drich IS chairman, and was reported
back with the duty on pig lead increas-
ed from $50 to $42.50 ton, making a
difference of $3.50 between lead in the
ore and lead bullion. Therefore, ac-
cording to the republican national plat
form and campaign pledges, $3.50 a
ton should measure the difference in
the cost of smelling lead in the United
States and in our competing countries.
Aiding the Smelter Trust.
Edward B. Rusa, general manager
of the American Smelling and Refining
Company, an organization which con-
trolls so per cent of the lead smelters
in the United States, testified before
the ways and means committee Of
the house that the entire cost OF re-
ducing lead from ore to bullion, from
actual figures, ranged from $5.55 to
$lO.05 ton. No witness before the
ways and means committee gave as the
entire cost of smelling greater figure
than $40 ton.
Z" A most vigorous effort was maae
in the senate to reduce the duties Of

in the house measure, but without eff

CHAPTER lI.-ContInued.

The picture gallery was new, an ad-
dition and the plain, narrow, unex-
pected door in this place, where all
was high, arched, elaborate and -four
ished, was like n loophole through
which to slip into foreign atmos-
phere. This atmosphere was resinous
OF fresh wood; the light was thick
with drifting notes; the carpets
harshly new, slipping beneath the feet
on the too polished floor; the bare
bones OF the place yet scarcely COW
cred. But It's quiet was after all com.
parative. There were plenty OF people
lingering in groups in the center Of
the gallery, which was dusky, eclipsed
by the great refectors that circled
the room, throwing out the pictures In
a bright band of color around the
walls. People leaning from this bor-
der OF light back into the dusk to
murmur together, vanished and reap
peared with such fascinating abrupt
ness that Flora caught herself guess
ing what sort of face, where this

OF shadow, would pop out OF the dark
next.
She was ready for something ex.
traordlnary, but now, when 1t came,
she was taken aback by 1t. 1t gave
her start, that toss OF black hair,
that long. irregular, pale face whose
scintillant, sardonic smile was merci-
lessly upon the poor, inadequate pic
ture-face fronting him. His stoop
above the rail was so abrupt that his
long, lean back was almost horizontal,
yet even thus there was something
elegant In the swing of HMM the
careless twist Of his head, around, to
speak to the woman behind him. The
light above struck blind on the glass
In one eye, but the other danced with
a genial, mad scintillation. The light
of 1t caught like contagion, and
touched the merest glancer at him
with the spark of its warm, ironic
mirth. The question which naturally
rose to Flora's lips-"Who in the
world is that?"-she checked; why,
she didn't ask herself She only felt
as she followed Clara, trailing away
across the floor, that the interest of
the evening which had promised so
well, beginning with the Chatworth
ring, had been raised even a note
higher. Her restive fancy was begin
ming again. All the footlights of her
little secret stage were up.
Clara turned to the right, following
a beckoning fan, and Flora, dallying
with her anticipation, reasoned that

The shrill skirling of the bag-pipes was the unusual sound that smote up- on the staid atmosphere of the First Presbyterian kirk last evening when the braw lads and bonnie lassies of Clan Campbell, Order of Scottish Clans, in plaid. kilt and tartan filed into the church for a social evening.
 It was Scotch night at the kirk and the affair was greatly enjoyed by the highlanders and the lowlanders and many others. Tn addition to the bag pipers. dozens of children wore Scotch plaids and caps and everything Scotch but "the nappy'' was in the air.

an improvement on that plan. Itspro- vides for the election of the mem- bers of the principal committees.
 The resolution divides the country into twelve geographical divisions for the election of majority members of the committee and eight divisions for the election of minority members. The divisions are to be, as nearly as pos s.ble. equal in representation. ,i
 Each division is to elect a member to each of the principal committees, classified as first class" by the res- olution. This will make the big com mittees of the House each have a membership of twenty They will in- clude the committee on rules, wh oh will name the members of the unim- portant committees.

 It is probable that the insurgents will get together next week. after the session opens, to caucus on plans for the session. The insurgents will have difficulty making their position, this year, as strong in the House as it was at the last session. The fact that the Democrats will control, next year, will make the present minority less likely to indulge in combinations. But the insurgents count on gaining many Republican recruits to their standard. The regulars, the insurgents believe, will also favor any measure that will limit the power of the ma. jority in the next House.
