Rome.-Oficial advices received here
from Tripoli state that the Arab losses
in recent engagements around Tripoli
amounted to many thousands and were
due principally to the fact that the
Arabs, fighting with their well-known
fanatical heroism, threw themselves in
front of the Italian guns, showing On
utter contempt of death and a lack OF
knowledge of modern warfare artillery.
It Ia stated that the Arabs who, after
submitting to Italian rule, treacherously
attacked the Italian rear, only to meet
death. Many were captured and were
executed, but not, however, until they
had been given q trial. Many of those
who were found armed and who had not
engaged in the fighting were deported.
The Italians cite the condition Of sur.
render, that the Turks agreed to give up
their arms and many Of them did so.
In clearing the oasis outside the city,
about which there have been many con-
flicting statements, the Italians stated
that they carefully removed all inoffen-
sive Arabs, women and children, before
moving upon the others.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Further evi.

situation in the United States senate
with possible filibustering tactics to

measure to authorize the election of
senators by the people, the tariff COM
mission bill and the mail subsidy
measure that now has the right of
way, together with the condition Great
ed over the right of Senator Lorimer
Of Illinois to hold his seat. All this
has developed E4fcumssancos which
will oblige the senate to work many
nights during the coming weeks If
the appropriation bills are to be put
through and the necessities of an ex-
ira session prevented. The differences
over these propositions, taken in con-
nection with the general debate
which each is certain to provoke, is
sufficient to endanger not only Presi-
dent Tafts legislative program, but
even the appropriation bills.

TARIFF RECOGNIZED
AS PARAMOUNT issue
DEMOCRATS REALIZE ON irS So
LUTON RESTS OUTCOME Or
1912 CAMPAIGN

Baltimore, Md, Jan. 1S.-Tariff
problems with all the viccissitudes
they bring from without and within
political party, were the principal
topics at the Jackson day gathering
of the democrats here yesterday. This
was evident at the mass meeting in
the afternoon and also at the ban
quet last night.
But the issue was fairly well met
by all the speakers. Some frankly
acknowledged there would be differ
ences of opinion among the demo
Gratis on this subject as there had
been among the republicans. Senator
Bailey, for instance, while declaring
that harmony must be the watch
word of the democracy if it is to
maintain the advantage won at the
last election, took issue with those
democrats who favor piecemeal re-
vision of the tariff.
Champ Clark, of Missouri, speaker
to-be, of the next house of represent
atives, had just announced that the
sentiment among house democrats
seemed to favor piecemeal revision
schedule by schedule, if possible, but
item by item, if necessary.
The day passed, as the democratic
leaders wished, without an attempt
to launch a boom for the presidential
nomination in 1912. Senator Bailey,
while locking horns with Champ
Clark on the method of revision cf
the tariff, paid the democratic leader
of the house the tribute Of placing
him in the presidential class.
The tariff was acknowledged as
the factor that brought. about the de-
feat of the republican party in the
last campaign, and with equal franz
ness the democratic leaders a:knowl-
edged that If they did not deal wisely
with that issue and fulfill the hopes
of the country, democratic success
would be short-lived.
And when they were not discussing
the tariff, the democratic leaders
