Claude Vautin. an English mining
engineer. who has been prospecting in
Peru. returned the other day on the
steamship Zacapa. Besides looking
after mining property. he has been
collecting interesting antiquities Of

One of tho most interesting things
he brings back with him Is a map of
South America made by the Jesuits in

as far north as Cuba and Is apparent
ly accurate. its purpose is evidently
plain. for every missionary station in
the country at that time is indicated
on the map, and the line of travel
necessary to reach them Is marked
out This map was obtained by Mr..
Vautin at Puno, Peru.
Another interesting collection he
brought back is the death masks of

of metal and placed over the faces Of
the dead. Three of these obtained by
Mr.. Vautin are Of sheet gold.

END Of CONGRESS
Voting Days Fixed by Senate
Faction Leaders.
PACT BILL ACTION JULY u
Wool, Free List, Statehood and Con.
oresslonai Reapportionment to Be
Dispose Of Before Ad-
iournment.

Washington.-By unanimous action
the United States senate agreed
to vote on the Canadian reciprocity
bill July 20. on the wool tariff revision
bill July q, on the free list bill August
!. congressional reapportionment bill
August 3, statehood bill for Arizona
and New Mexico on the legislative day
Of August 7 and will adjourn, accord
Ing to general understanding, quickly
thereafter.
1t Is expected that the closing OF
congress will Immediately follow the
statehood vote.
All the bills included In the agree.
ment already have passed the house.
II amendments are made to them they
will be still subject to quick confer.
ence between the representatives of
the two houses.
The agreement following series of
conferences between Senators Pen.
rose. La Toilette, Martin, Smoot, Bal
Icy. Stone. Burton, Borah. Bristow,
Bourne and other senators was formal.
ly offered In the senate by Senator
Peprose as leader OF the Republicans.
The original suggestion for an
agreement vas made by Senator La
Toilette. who was willing to fix an
earlier date than that named for the
vote on reciprocity. The demand for
q later date was made BY others who
desire to speak on the bill.
Many obstacles to fixing the series
of dates were encountered. Senator
Borah insisted on a date for consid-
Grafton OF a conference report on the
joitn resolution for the election of
United States senators by direct vote
OF the people and the vote on state
hood was fixed for the Legislative
day Of August instead OF the calen-
dar day Of that date In order to pro.
tect the popular election bill.
AS soon as the agreement was re-
ported to the senate tho acquiescence
of the regular Democrats was ex-
pressed by Senator Martin.
I'VE think ample time has been al.
lowed for the debate OF all measures"
said Senator Martin.
Senator La Toilette agreed that all
interests In the senate had been con.
suited and that 1t had been deemed
wise to agree on dates when all the
important bills now pending could be
disposed Of.
The agreement to vote is so drawn
that amendments may be voted on at
any time.
Senator Cummins introduced new
amendments to the reciprocity bill.
One sought to couple revision OF
the tariff on metals with the Cana.
dian measure; the other proposed
revision Of the duty on oilcloth and
linoleum.
