they were unable to agree upon a
compromise and asked to be relieved
Of this responsibility.
The full committee then made an
effort to reach an agreement and it
failed also. 1t was then decided to
let Messrs. Underwood and La Fol-
lette try again and the bill again was
turned over to them, together with
the farmers free list bill, over which
there are also serious differences be-
tween the senate and the house.
The senate finance committee de-
ferred action on the cotton tariff re-
vision bill until next Wednesday.
The postponement was at request of
Senator Simmons of North Carolina
In whose state are large cotton mill
interests affected by the proposed 81
per cent average cut on cotton duties.
Hearings will be granted.
The senate referred the general
arbitration treaties with Great Brit
ain and France to the foreign rela-
tions committee. Chairman Cullom

Europe Would Swallow China
SOME FACTS ABOUT COUNTRY NOW TORN BY REBELLION
By Gabriel Hanoeau Formerly Secretary of Foreign Affairs

A LONG as Europe has existed
n its eyes have been directed to-
wards China. To penetrate into
the Celestial empire is the dream Of all
our conquerors, warriors or men of
peace These two worlds so mysteri-
Ously united by origin and so mys-
teriously divided by evolution have for
centuries played a drama in which the
one pursues the other who always
evades him. The more the one draws
back, the faster the other rushes for
ward The one knocks at the door Of
open. What a strange law of history
which forces humanity into this duel
of centuries between agitation and i'm
mobility.
Alexander the Great had started for
China when he stopped somewhere on
the frontier of India. The Romans
were always excited over the tales Of
they had exhausted the Mediterranean
countries, they would have liked to
have extended the flight of their le-
gions to the frontiers of China. When
Nasco de Cana had passed Cape Hope

TRADED THE STATES MULES.
Now C. D. Noel WIN Have to Trade
Back.

G. d. Noel in charge of the state
forestry station at Dodge City, traded
a team of the states mules to a man
for a team of balky horses. Noel is
now looking for the man who traded
him these horses. He mas the advice
of the attorney general that he could
not trade the states mules off, any
more than the attorney general could
trade the state house fer the Santa
Fe shops.
Noel had team of big and costly
mules at the forestry station, but he
did not like them because they We're
inclined to kick and rake trouble
while being worked He saw a man,
one day, with a team OF nice looking
horses and talked trade to him. The
man, like the trader who sold David
Harum balky horse, said the horses
were kind and gentle and did not have
blemish or pimple on them.
They were all the man said. but like
the horse Harum bought, they were
balky. When Noel discovered how he
he'd been duped he consulted the at
torney general about the transaction.
He is now looking for the man who
traded him the horses. If he finds
them he can get his mules back on
the theory that he had no right to
trade the states property. If he fails
to find the man he will have to reim-
burse the state the difference between
two balky horses and two vicious
but willing mules
