COTTON REVISION
PASSED BY HOUSE
DEMOCRATS AND THIRTY INSUR-
GENT REPUBLICANS VOTE
FOR 1T.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Supported by
all the democrats and thirty insurgent
republicans, the democratic cotton tar
iff bill, the third of the big tariff re-
vision measures brought forward by
the democratic house of representa-
tives, passed that body last evening
by 202 to 81. The bill cuts the aver
age tariff on cotton manufactured
goods from 4S to 81 percent adva-
loren, 81 percent reduction in duty
that the democratic leaders estimate
reduces revenue by about $9,00O,0O0.
Not an amendment was offered to
the bill, although the republicans at
tackled it vigorously on account of al
legged increases in certain items over
the rates of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law
Scarcely had the cheers that greeted
the passage Of the cotton revision bill
subsidized when democratic Leader I'm
derwood, calling up the free list bill as
it passed the senate a few days ago
accomplished strategic move which
surprised the republicans.
He asked for a conference on all
the amendments to the free list bill
except tha. OF Senator Gronna oi
North Dakota putting cement on the
free list. He urged that the house ac
cept that amendment, adding to II
lemons. Pacific coast republicans
made Intellectual efforts to stop this
and put lemons off the free list, but
the amendment carried.
The change gave the house demo
Gratis what they claimed to be an ad
ded advantage in dealing with the sen
ate in the conference today.
The republican leaders in boil
houses of congress called in absen
members from all parts Of the countr!
in preparation for a threatened at
tempt of the democrats to pass thu
wool tariff bill over President Taft''
veto. The democrats in the house
have asserted within the last twenty
four hours that they will have the
necessary two-thirds majority to pas
the wool bill over the presidents vet'
and have been doing effective mission
airy work in the senate. The republi
can managers in the house insist tina
they have enough votes to prevent tn
two.thirds majority in support of tn
wool bill. The wool conference start
ed at 10 o'clock this morning.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Alarmed over
the possibility Of an attempt to pass
the wool tariff revision over the vote
of President Taft, the regular repub-
lican leaders of the senate today set
about to bring all the absent repub-
lican senators to the city before next
week.
Word has gone out that the bill
could be passed through the house by
two-thirds vote, regardless of the
presidents objections, and senators
have taken the point that it may be
up to them to save the situation and
prevent precipitate action in favor OF
the bill at this session.
The house originally passed the bill
220 to 100. The vote in the senate
was 4S to 80. This by no means would
be safe number to pass the bill over
veto, but the possibility in case Of
the absence of a number of repub
licans was deemed sufficient today tC
arouse the caution of those on guard
Sixty votes would be necessary to pass
over a veto in the case of the attend
ance of all senators. The forty demo
Gratis and thirteen progressive repub
licans, together with Senators Nelson
and McCumber, regular republican:
who voted for the bill originally, woult
aggregate fifty-five members, only five
short of the requisite number.

Joplin, Mo-, Aug. 2.-The impris-
oned miner, Clary, was taken from
the mine, where he was caught by a
cave-in last Sunday, and where he
stood in the water since that time
until rescued this morning.
The crowd followed along when he
was taken home, and hundreds lin
gered to watch the meeting between
mother and son.
Clary was in good shape this af
ternoon, following a short sleep, and
was able to tell something of what
he had gone through during his long
period of imprisonment in the bowels
of the earth.

even at first" he said. "The roof of
the drift was solid limestone. and
knew it would not cave in. The air
was bad from the very start, and
kept getting worse. 1t Seemed like
an age before l heard the humping
which apprised me that they were
making an attempt to rescue me.
Then the humping ceased, and 1
knew that the hole had missed.
Thine had almost stopped, 1t
seemed, before l again heard sounds.
Gradually the pounding grew palmer
and palmer, until hole appeared in
the side of the drift, and l got a
breath of fresh air. | kept getting
hungrier, until finally 1 thought

one.

I had received the best news I had
ever heard. Then l heard some one
shout, and milk and whiskey were
passed down through the hole. They
were the best things ever tasted.

I was safe, and they would get me
out unless there was another cave

San Bernardino, Cal, August g.
Famed by a stiff breeze, the forest
fire on San Bernardino range, sweep

fire fighters, crossed the divide today

blackened stumps and smouldering
ruins in its path.
Where it will end is problematical,
although it is now believed that only
the water of the river and the desert
sand, where there is nothing to burn,
will check it.
In response to an appeal for aid to

blaze at noon was reported rushing

responsible for this but it was be-
