GOOD RAINS IN GULF STATES
VIII Greatly Benefit cotton-Drouth
Has Been Seven Weeks.

New Orleans, La.-Rain was general
Monday night over the middle and east
gulf states. With the showers report
ed Saturday, the precipitation OF the
last twenty-four hours records the end
of q drouth over this section varying
from four to seven, weeks. Rain con-
tinues to fall in New Orleans, South
Louisiana and South Mississippi. The
weather bureau predicted showers for
Louisiana and Eastern Arkansas and
generally fair weather for other portions
of this district.
Not only has the drouth been pro-
traeted, but hot weather records have
been broken throughout those sections
of the South almost every day since
June /.
Corn has been permanently damaged
by the long dry period, but the rains
will greatly benefit cotton.

PLAN ON FOOT TO
PASS TARIFF BILLS
Farmers Free List Bill May Receive
Consideration-change Of Sentiment
Among Democrats.

Washington.-A proposition for tariii
is under consideration by tine
Democratic and progressive Republican
senator's, and if IN agreement al D
reached bills for the reduction OF tarif1
on wool, cotton, iron and steel will De
passed after the reciprocity bill u out
Of the way. The leader in these nego-
tiations is Senator LaFollette Of Wis
consin. 1t is suggested that even the
farmers free list bill, which has been
passed by the house, may receive favor
able consideration, provided the Demo
Gratis agree to q number Of amendments
to the measure. There appears to b. 2
change of sentiment among Democrats
who at first opposed to rest after intro
ducing their revision bills and seeing
them referred to the finance COMMITTEES
without attempting . coalition with the
progressive to put them through.
There are Al Democrats in the senate
and 10 progressive Republicans. A ma
jority of the senate is 46, therefore it re
quires only five of the progressive Re
publicans voting with the Democrats to
control the senate. Two of the Demo
cratic senators, however, are regarded
as uncertain on tariff legislation and ais
on coalition with the insurgent Repubh
cans, and seven of the Republican pro
gressives may Be needed to give the co
alition control.

Check and q Rain All That u
Needed.

Memphis, Tenn.-The cotton crop hae
made nearly normal progress since May
Is, the date of our last report. In the
two Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama
there has beer q distinct improvement
owing to timely rains. In the Aissis
sippi valley and Western states the
rainfall has been local when rain has
fallen at all, and many localities are suf-
fering from a Ave to eight weeks drouth.
Up to the time of these reports the plant
had not suffered, but correspondents are
fearful of another week Of dry, hot
weather.
Fields are universally clean and it has
been many years since the entire crop
wa in q state of such excellent cultiva-
ton. A rain is all that is needed ia
make prospects the most brilliant within
recent years.
Owing to drouth the plant growth haa
not been as rapid as is usual for the sea
son and in . few instances the seed arr
very slow to terminate, 80 that some O
the cotton is stil quite small. The plant
however, is healthy, and the extreme heat
that has prevailed in nearly all section

AT WHITE HOUSE
Decorations and Light Effects Most
Elaborate Ever Witnessed at Ez
ecutive Mansion.

WashinRton.-The silver wedding ceE
ebration Of the president and Mrs. Taft,
the second that has been held at the
White House, came to an end Monday
night with the reception on the White
House lawn. Invitations had been sent
to practically $4,000 persons, and while
the Official count of those who shook
hands with the president was not given
out, it was estimated that at least 5000
persons were present.
Never in the history Of the nation,
probably, has suck : function been held
in Washington. The diplomatic corps,
the United States supreme court, the
senate and the house of representatives,
the departments Of the government, the
men who are high in political affairs
Of the country, the navy and every walk
in life almost were represented.
Possibly $4,000 people crowded about
the reception fence that surrounded the
grounds and looked longingly at thu
electric display, the splashing fountain
and the gay throng within. Washington
seldom gets excited about anything, but
it showed its interest in the anniversar.
of the president in unmistakable fash
ion.
