CONFEDERACY IS
 ATTACKED AGAIN Bitterness Between Will Hams and Hepburn
 Breaks Out Anew

Washington, July 1s.-The bitterness be- tween Senator Heyburn of Idaho and Senator Williams of Mississippi on the subject of the Confederacy broke out anew in the Senate today. Senator Hey burn objected to taking up a bill ap- propriating s10o,0o0 for a naval Confed- crate monument in the Vicksburg national park, but Senator Williams won his vic tory by vote of 29 to 19
 The Vicksburg park commission and the Senate committee on military affairs had approved the measure and MT. Williams said 1t was desired to have the monument complete for the semi-centennial blue and gray reunion at Vicksburg in 1913. Sem ators Cummins of Iowa and Works of California urged its passage.
 Senator Hepburn again attacked the federate acts, and Senator Williams abruptly left the chamber when he be- gan to speak.
 BIr Hepburn declared it was 'intol- erable" that the deeds of Confederate armies should be recited in laws that call upon the public treasury for con- trihutions He characterized the his- tory of the war between the states as a history of murder" He attacked the mary of them disloyal and delight ed to express their disloyalty.'
 "He had been characterized as way ing the bloody flag in the Senate, he said, and has been so misrepresented that he was receiving scores of anony- nous letters from towards" threaten ing him with physical violence because of his opposition to tfie use of gov ernment funds for Confederate serv- Ice.
 Senator lHeyburn displayed letter he had received from Little Rock, Ark, the envelope of which bore a rep resantation of the Confederate flag. He said the postoffice authorities said the re was no law to prevent the use Of the flag on mail matter.
 .No law ought to be needed said Sem ator Heyburn. There Is but one flag In this nation entitled to representation"
 During the debate Senator Smoot of Utah moved to adjourn. The motion was Defeated 24 to 27.
 Senator Taylor of Tennessee took up the Confederate issue.
 'The war is over," he said; time has pulled down the forts and healed the wounds. Ine men WHO wore the piue ue- light to honor the men who wore the gray. but they do not delight to honor the men who never smelt powder, and who stand here and unlimber their bat teries of bitterness against the simple proposal to erect monuments to southern heroes"
 At this point another motion to adjourn was made by Senator Lodge of Massa- chusetts, the democrats opposing it in order to secure action on the Vicksburg bill This time the motion carried 26 to 25 and the Senate adjourned with the Confederate question still unsettled

POTENTIAL PEERS
 AROUSE CURIOSITY
English Politicians Spec ulating on Unique
 Situation

London, July 1s.-There is n1aeh curl osity on the part of politicians over the cabinets list of potential peers. There is no doubt that such a list has been made up.
 The government spokesmen have said repeatedly within the past week that Premier Asquith was prepared to meet all tails, which is taken to mean that he has hidden up his sleeve two leading sources of supply, these being the eldest sons of liberal peers and members of parliament
 The proposal to enoble the eldest sons presents an amusing phase of the revo- lution. Peers of baronial rank think that if their sons are enobled they themselves should be promoted to be viscounts when their sons are made barons. Some of the more prominent members of parliament who are not averse to joining the nobility cherish the conviction that if a host of barons are to be poured into the upper house, of which a large proportion must be commonplace persons, they are en- titled to receive the higher distinction of viscountships.
 Drawing for the house of commons for new lords presents difficulty. If one hun dred or more members of the lower cham Der are taken a miniature general cleo tion will be necessary to take their places, and the country and politicians alike have been tired to death by elections with consequent turmoil, expense and disturb ance to both. Moreover, the government cannot afford to risk taking members of stituencies
 The exact social status of the new peers, if matched, is the subject of no little speculation. The conservatives profess to kslieve that they will be looked upon with amusement and con- tempt One writer says that American Actresses are far too shrewd to find sucn quasi noblemen objects of their ambition Another suggests the addi- ticn of the title of Count to the Brit ish Peerage for the Purpose of Asquith Peers" in order to distinguish from reg liar lords and noblemen created for a special political purpose.
 The urgent summons issued by Lord Merely of Blackburn to the liberal fol- lowers in the house of lords, calling upon all supporters of the parliament tary to be present in anticipation of forced division on the third read ins, places him in a curious position. There is no intention on the part of the regular opposition to throw out the measure on it's third reading. They will not only not vote against the amend ed measure, but so far as official op- position is concerned, the bill will be allowed to pass it's third reading with out division.
 The possible attitude of the free lance unionists is what Lord Morley fears, and the stalwart radicals. only 46 of whom were present to support the second reading of the veto bill, were summoned to attend next Thurs day. With reinforced battalions Lord Morley makes sure of the adoption of the bill and the strange situation will be presented of a government leader having moved the adoption of a meas urc and carried which his friends in tie cabinet and the house of com mons already had decided immediately to rerudiate.

PLOT RUMORED TO
 .ASSASSINATE REYES

Mexico City, July 1s.-Friends of Gen. Bernardo Reyes profess to have discovered evidence of plot to as sassinate him.. They claim to have re- ceived anonymous letters in which they have been told to bring about the inn mediate retirement of the general from politics or be prepared to hear of his sudden death. The incident has created a sensation but Madero has not an noui,ced his intention of dropping the name of Reyes from his list of future officeholders He asked the general to accept the portfolio of war. in case he was elected President, and Reyes ac cepted. Since then there has grown {. strong antiReyes element in the ranks of Madero's followers.

BREAD FAMINE STRIKES MEXICO

Mexico City, July 1S.-Residents of Mexico City will be forced to curtail their consumption of bread tomorrow and before the end of the week thous- ands of families will be using home made variety. unless an agreement is made between bakers and bakery owners. A large part of the bread makers walked out today after being unable to secure an accession to their sole demand, that of an S-hour day. They expect to gain general support tomorrow.
 Monterey, Mexico, July 1S.-This city of S0,O00 inhabitants Is in the midst of a bread famine owing to the strike of journeymen bakers and is practically subsisting on tortillas, a connection of corn meal and chilli. Thirty of the more important bakeries have closed and their proprietors show no inclination to submit to the terms of the strikers for an increase in wages. Mayor Martinez is endeavoring to effect a settlement of the differences between the men and their employers, but thus far has failed to bring the warning factions together Meanwhile there are plenty of tortillas factories which are not affected by the strike.

SHOOT WOOL BILL
 COMES UP TODAY
Will Be Presented As Sub stitute for House
 Measure

Washington, July 1s.-Senator Shoot of the Senate committee on finance will in- troduce tomorrow his wool tariff revision bill It will be presented as a substi- tute for the House measure and will re- celve the support of the regular repub- licans and of the administration.
 The bill provides for general reduc- .5en on wool and wooleps, but does not go 50 far on either as the House bill. Il fixes the same rate on first-class wool that the LaFolette bill names, so long as that class of wool maintains the price of 2g1a cents per pound, but as the rate is specific the protection is made variable, as it is under the ad valorem system of the Wineonsin senator. It retains higher duties on woolens than are provided by the LaFollette bill.
 The Shoot bill maintains the classif- cations of the present law on the three grades of wool. Instead of a rate of Il cents per pound on first-class wool in the grease and 12 cents on second-class, a rate of cents per pound is provided on both classes. On washed wool of both classes the rate is doubled and on secured wool trehled
 On third-class wools the rate is fixed at and cents instead of and cents. The "slSirting clause,r of which much complaint has been made by the wool growers, is eliminated. Garnetted waste is reduced from 30 to 25 cents per pound.
 The compensatory duties are levied upon the same principle as in the present law, with many reductions in the addi- tionai protective ad valorem duties. The present provision assessing blankets over three yards in length has been elimi- hated On womens and childrensl dress goods the specific duties have been re- duced from He to Sc per square yard There are aslo material reductions on carpets, druggets and mats, clothing and webbing, braids, ribbons, trimmings, etc
 There is a new paragraph which pro- vides that 'in no case shall any of the articles or fabrics enumerated in this schedule pay a duty greater than is equivalent to an ad valorem duty of SC per cent" It Is admitted by the author of the bill that this provision may be the means of making it difficult for the man. ufacturers of exceedingly fine and high priced cloth to compete with similar for eign made goods.
 The rates in my proposed substitute, Senator Shoot said, -'are as low as I be- leve it is possible for the American wool en interests to exist under, judging from the information 1 have in my possession. It may be that in some instances the rates are little high and in others the SO per centum limitation may be little too low. I shall reserve the right to sup port changes in any of the rates proposed in my substitute if the tariff board pro- duces evidence that would justify the sanle.'

Just in Sympathy

Mr Thomas would not admit that the American instigated the suit to retire the Nationals common stock but said his company was in sympathy with the suit and might be called on to pay par- of the costs. James M. Beck, the Americans general counsel brought did not personally attend todays ses- sicn of the committee.
 Mr. Thomas, chairman of the board
 of directors of the American Refin- | i,g company, was the first witness. After detailing the various offices he
 laG held with the company he said in reply to Chairman Hardwick's ques-
 tiJns that his father, Joseph B. Thom-
 as had sold the Standard Sugar Refin- cry in Boston to the American com pdny in 1887, the year In which other companies were absorbed. AS he could not recall what his father received for the Standard he was instructed to get
 tke facts from his office in Boston. Mr. Thomas said that in 1891 the
 American company was capitalized at sho, 0o.000, which was increased to S7. 100000 when the American took in the Philadelphia rennerleS and to $90,- 0Oo, 600 when 1t entered the beet sugar field.
 Without explanation, MT. Thomas in- terrupted his testimony to defend the
 memory of the late H. o. Havemeyer. lie wished it understood that nothing
 he said or might say was to be in tcIpreted as an attack on MT. Have me yer.
 Mir. Thomas admitted that the Amer ir0E aftnr hnVinp the stock of the Baltimore Refining company closed the refinery there and shipped the machinery to New Orleans, where la Dor was cheaDer

THOMAS TALKS IN SUGAR TRUST CASE States American FavOrs
 National Suit JOHN ARBUCKLE ILL
Sub- Committee May Go To Bedside of Sick Man To Take Testi- money of Deal Once Made
 With Havemeyer

New .ork July 1S.--Such inner work ings of the American Sugar Refining company, the so-called sugar trust, as Washington B. Thomas. chairman of It's board of directors, revealed under pro- longed questioning, interested the mem- bers of the special Congress committee which resumed here today the investiga- ton 1t had been conducting in Washing ton MT. Thomas could see no present evil in the company or it's methods, al- though he said he did not agree with the policy in vogue under the late H. 0. Havemeyer.
 John Arouckle, whom the committee considered the most important witness it was to question here, is so i'll at Mo honk Lake, N. Y, that a subcommittee consisting of Representatives Garrett of Tennessee and Madison of Kansas was appointed by Chairman Hardwick to go there to take his testimony. They prob ably will go Friday. MT. Arbuckle is ex- pected to give much information of the big sugar war between his company and the American, and more particularly the terms of settlement. It has been said that only two men knew what those terms were, MT. Arbuckle and H. o. Havemeyer. Havemeyer is dead.
 What was regarded as perhaps the most important testimony of the day was a statement by Thomas that the American Sugar Refining company is thoroughly in sympathy with the suit in New Jersey to retire and invaldate the common stock of the National Sugar Refining company. The American owns most of the preferred stock in that company and MT. Thomas said the preferred stock would be greatly enhanced by the retirement of the com mon stock. It would also gvefthe Amer ican absolute control of what is said to be it's greatest competitor.

as a Result.

Rome. Sept. 25.-The Italian govern
ment is moving rapidly and with de-
termination for an Italian protector
ate over Tripoli. Its plans are no
longer concealed and its attitude Is
favored by all classes except the ad-
vanced section Of the Socialists, who

According to the information In OIL
cial circles, the government still hopes
to effect an amicable agreement with
Turkey whereby Italy will obtain q
lease Of Tripoli, under the sovereignty
Of Turkey, paying therefor an annual
rental. If Turkey definitely refuses
to meet this proposal Italy will pro-
coed with military measures.
The material difficulties Of military
operations have been fully considered,
The memory Of the calamitous Abys-

the government, which realizes that
the failure of the proposed expedition
would be a grave disaster. According
", most careful precautions have been
taken. The Turkish forces In Tripoll
