Senate and House COntoroGS Ar
rive at an Agreement
CEADLOCKED ON FREE LIS
House Declines TO Accept Amendment
Relating to the Admission Of
Meats and Cereals.

Washington, Aug 12-Dofing their
coats and for the first time in history
inviting the press TO be present the
conferees of the two houses of con.
gress on the wool tariff revision and
farmers free list bills sat down in
conference to compose their differ.
ences. Finally they effected com.
plete agreement on wool and began
consideration of the free list bill
The wool bill, as agreed upon, will
be reported to the senate by Senator
La Toilette of Wisconsin and to the
house by Representative Underwood.
They will direct the course of the bill
In those two bodies. AS the house
has the papers bearing upon the bill
that body will have to act first.
The bill was so amended as to re-
quire that the proposed law shall take
effect Oct. 1, instead of Jan. /, as pro-
vided in the senate and house meas
ures.
The conferees hope to have the re-
port adopted in both houses and the
bill started on its course to the White
House, where the president is expect
ed to veto it,
The free list bill was under con-
sideration for about fifteen minutes,
but the conflict between the repre-
sentatives of the two houses was so
pronounced that 1t became necessary
to postpone action.
After fixing 20 per cent ad valorem
as the duty on raw wool and changing
the wool classification SO as to con-
form to the language of the house
bill the agreement on other features
became a matter OF detail. At times
there were sharp differences Of opin-
ion, but at no time was a disagree
ment on that measure threatened.
The change of classification has the
effect of fixing fiat duty on all woods
and while 1t reduces the rates on OF.
binary woods from 35 per cent as pro-
vided in the senate bill, and increases
those of the house bill from 20 per
cent, it also increases the rates on
car woods from 10 per cent, as pro-
vided in the senate bill, to the 90 per
cent fixed by the conferees.
In most respects the duties on the
manufactures of wool were increased
over the rates of the house bill and
reduced below those of the senate bill
so as to make them correspond with
the raw wool; but in some instances
they were made higher than those of
either measure.

Flsecsd the Queen.

When George Nv. was crowned II
was feared that the discarded Queen
Caroline might appear and create a
scene at Westminster abbey during
the ceremony. A gentleman Of the
name Of Chutneigh offered to 60 into
the anteroom where Caroline was
waiting and keep her engaged until the
conclusion of the ceremony. That was a
time when nearly everybody gambled,
and the discarded queen was no excep-
ton to the rule. After a few casual
remarks about the weather Chutneigh
took three cards from his pocket and
invited Caroline to spot the lady"
Time and again she backed her judy
ment with money and each time lost.
Then she played higher stakes In the
hope OF retrieving her iii fortune. Her
last guinea had been taken In by Chut-
neigh before she remembered her in
tention to be at the coronation. But
1t was too late. The ceremony was
over, and the new king, ''the greatest
BLACKBOARD In all Europe" was on his
way to the palace, TO Mr.. Chumeigh,
who thus holds the credit OF introduc-
ing the three card trick into England,
: pension was granted.

LOSES HARD FIGHT FOR LIFE
John w. Gates, American Financier,
Dead at Paris.

Paris, Aug. 9.-John w. Gates, the
American financier, died at $40 a. m.
in the arms of his wife and son,
Charles G.. Gates. The end was peace
ful and 1t seemed as though he was
falling asleep. The usual restoratiyes
failed in the last crisis.
The remarkable fight to save the
life of the financier, In which some OF
the leading physicians OF France. Eng.
land and the United States participat-
ed, attracted the attention of the en-
tire medical world. Hundreds of tele-
grams and letters received daily, both
from friends and strangers in the
united States, testified TO the wide
spread sympathy felt for him.
Mr.. Gates was one OF the most pic.
turesQue spectators Wall street and
the world OF sport ever knew. Bet
You Million" Gates they called him,
because of his willingness to wager
any amount on anything.

COMMITTEE CHANGES FRONT
Will Not Compel Perkins to Answer
Certain Questions.

washington, Aug. 10.-The house
steel trust investigating committee at
on executive session decided not to
press at this time questions of cam
paign contributions, in connection
with which George w. Perkins of
New York. a director of the United
States Steel corporation. was threat
ened with contempt proceedings be-
fore the house of representatives.
The committee decided, however, to
require the steel corporation to pro-
duce the books of subsidiary compa-
mics.
The committees decision not to
press the inquiry into campaign con-
tributions was based on the conclu.
sion that the house resolution did not
give authority to 60 into those mat.
tiers. 1t was said that Representative
Littleton OF New York insisted that
the committee would thus transcend
its power.

VOTE STANDS At I3I TO ia
Struggle Begun TWO Years Ago Ends
In Radical Change In Great Brit
aims Working Constitution.

London Aug 11-Premier Asquith's
government, which claims 10 repre-.
sent the democracy of Great Britain,
enforced its will on the peerage by
the narrow vote OF 13l to ia
BY this vote the house OF lords de.
cided to accept what the Liberals con-
tend is the will of the people and
adopted Viscount Morley's motion not
10 insist on the lords amendments to
the parliamentary bill which prac-
tically limits the power OF the house
of lords to a two-year suspensory veto
and vastly increases the prerogatives
of the house of commons.
The great constitutional struggle
that began when the house of lords
nearly two years ago rejected the
budget of David Lloyd-George, chan
cellor of the exchequer is ended for
time at least and with the greatest
change to Great Britain's working con-
stitution since the passage of the re-
form bill
The process Of voting consumed
nearly an hour and the result trembled
in the balance Until the last moment.
The die hards" mustered greater
strength than was expected and the
government owes its victory to the
votes of between twenty and thirty
Conservatives who threw in their lot
with the Liberals to save their own
caste from loss of prestige and the
king from the necessity OF exercising
the royal prerogative for the creation
OF large number of new peers, from
which every one believes he was ex-
tremely anxious to be saved.
A resolution to pay members of the
house of commons $4,000 annually for
their services was carried by a vote
OF 256 to 159.
The resolution was moved by Chan
cellor Lloyd-George, who said Great
Britain was the only country in tire
world that did not pay members for
their work in parliament. which now
adays is so strenuous the members
have little time to attend to anything
else.
