so ably filled, since Burke has
been governor.

Five Republican Senators, United
With Democratic Side, Can
Pass Various Tariff Bills
Washington, July At h e
backbone of the progressive op
position to Canadian reciproci-
ty seems wi|ted aud a vote
probably will be taken within
two weeks n d reciprocity
adopted. Then will come to
question of passing the house
free list and WOODEN bills
through the Senate. The pro-
gressive Republicans ins 8 t
that they wish to adopt a free
list bill and also bills revising
all the important schedules, but
the majority of the menahers
feel that such measures should
be framed in view of the Re-
publican principle OF protection.
ABANDON "REAsoNABIE PROFITS"
PROVISION
The progressives seem will.
ing to abandon the provision of
the last National Republican
platform which calls for "rea.
sonable profits" but they are
not willing to reduce the tariff
below the figures needed to af-
| ford protection sufficient t o
cover the difference in the
wage cost Of production.
Whether sufficient votes to paes
any tariff bills can he procured
under these circumstances is
involved in speculation.

to meet the Republican insur-
gents," said Senator Johnson
of Alabama, Democrat, today.
1--WE voted for the insurgent
amendments to til Payne
Aldrich tariff bill, because it
was the only chance we had OF
getting lower rates. but we are
not disposed to join with them
again. We will stand by the
bills sent over from the House,
and will be glad to have the in
surgents' support in passing
them. If we are not able to put
Them through this time, it will
be only two years when we will
have the votes in the Senate to
adopt these Democratic meas
ures."

VISION
Only five progressive Repub-
licans united with The Demo
cratic side, if the minority
forces can be kept intact, will
be required to pass the woolen,

bills. Should Senators La Fol

Democratic bills in the event
they are not able to get favor.

The market grew stronger after the

Efforts made by traders on the short

were chiefly responsible for such strength

were held firmly for high prices, so that
the short interest was not reduced ma

WaII1out Affects All the Big Papers in
Chicago.

Chicago, March differences be-
tween Chicago newspaper publishers
and members of the local Topographic
cal union, have led to a strike of tha
workmen. AS a result every Chicago
newspaper published but four pages to-
day. Primary elections were held yes
terday by both the Democratic and Re
publican parties to nominate a city
ticket. Every newspaper had planned
a big edition for today.
The trouble arose originally in the
offices of the Chicago American and
Chicago Examiner The columns of
these papers are slightly less than 13
ems wide. BY the contract entered into
between the Publishers Association
and the Typographical Union, union
men claim the printers should be paid
on the basis of 1879 ems per line, this
being the width of the columns of the
other Chicago papers. Managers of the
two papers offered to submit the mat
ter to arbitration. The printers re-
fused, and the strike resulted The

by the Chicago Publishers association:
