IN SENATE
MAY Be GIVEN CHANCE
Likely to Have Opportunity to
Vote on Wool Revision and
Farmers List.

That there will be some close votes in
the Senate on propositions to adjourn
this session Of Congress without further
tariff action than the passage of the reci-
procity bill, is the opinion of some we'll
posted senators. The fact is, some of
the republicans feel mighty uncomfort-
able over the attitude in which they are
being placed by the progressives putting
them on record as voting steadfastly
against proposals to lower duties in con-
nection with Canadian reciprocity.
They will be offered further opportu-
mites to redeem themselves with their
constituents, since it is assured that votes
will be taken on the farmers free list
bill and the wool revision bill. Presi-
dent Taft has intimated that he will
veto these measures If passed at this
time, and some republican senators who
ordinarily would vote against tariff re-
duction in this way are said to be con-
sidering the advisability OF making a
record for revision by voting for them.
confident that the bills will not become
law
In Uncomfortable Position.
The position of the near-progressive
senators Is not very comfortable at this
time. The steady fire Of the La Toilette
and Cummins group is beginning to be
felt, and they know that thus far it is
only a skirmish and the real battle Is yet
to come.
Chairman Penrose, the republican lead
er. Is counting on passing Canadian reci-
procity, taking some Intellectual votes OF
negative votes on wool and the farmers
free list. and then adjourning. Every
body joins with him in the desire for
early adjournment, but they do not all
share his optimism.
The progressives and the democrats still
have their game to make, it is declared,
and they propose to have a great many
roll calls in the Senate on motions to
further lower the tariff, with the aim of
putting the standpatters on record to the
bitter end.

OF COMPACT
BY ENGLAND AND JAPAN
Negotiations to That End Un-
derstood to Have Been
Long Pending.

TOXIC, July IA revision of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance is regarded as
the inevitable outcome Of the Anglo
American arbitration treaty. There is
reason to believe that negotiations for
such a revision have been going on for
several weeks. 1t is reported that Great
Britain proposes to modify the clause
providing for mutual assistance in the
event Of war making the provision in
applicable in the event that either party
to the alliance is fighting a nation with
whom the other has concluded a general
arbitration treaty.
1t is understood that Japan readily
agreed to this proposition. and the Asso-
ciated Press is informed that the readi-
cept the suggestion was due to its en-
tire confidence that Japan would never be
at war with either the United States or
England. The revision probably would
involve the extension of the term of the
treaty alliance for fifteen or twenty
years.
japanese Embassy Without Advices.
While attaching credit to the reports
emanating from London and Toxic to
the effect that the British and Japanese
governments are about to modify their
treaty of alliance to make it conform to
conditions that will exist upon the con-
clusion of the pending general arbitra-
ton treaty between the United States
and Great Britain, the Japanese embassy
here processes to have no confirmatory
advices of it's own.
The State Department is in the same
position, but it was confidently expected
by Secretary Knox that the conclusion
of the Anglo-American arbitration treaty
by it's indirect effect upon other conven-
tions existing between the great powers,
would tend to impress upon other nations
than Great Britain the expediency Of
accepting the invitation to likewise join
in the scheme of general arbitration of
all issues.
Action by France Expected.
There is an expectation at the State
Department that the return to France Of
Ambassador Jusserand will bring about
speedy action by the French foreign
office upon the pending arbitration pro-
posal. Now that the German ambassa-
doris doubts as to the fairness of the
arbitration proposal have been removed
it is expected that the German govern
ment may show something more than
an academic interest in the subject

with q farewell wave headed to the
southwest and in a few seconds disap-
peared from view over the wooded hills.
Both the men and the machine were IN
excellent working condition. and thers

breakfast they went Into the field and

Charge of FeIonious Assault
Against Ethel Conrad and

NEW YORK, July 11.-Ethel Conrad
and Lillian Graham, who June shot
w. E. D. Stokes the millionaire hotel
man. in their apartment were held In
$4,000 ball today for the grand jury on
q charge Of felonious assault.
Magistrate Freschi in deciding to hold
the two girls for the grand jury stated
that he would ignore the element of
scandal in the case. He said prima
facie case had been made out and that
no defense had been offered and there
fore there was nothing left for him to
do but to hold the young women.
Robert w. Moore of counsel for the
girls had expected the case to go to the
grand jury, and for this reason refused
to put either of his clients on the stand,
but contented himself with trying to show
that Stokes went to the apartment OF the
young women to get possession OF Ger
tain letters and that the girls shot IN self
defense.

in the Union building, in G. street, and
the accommodations furnished govern

beginning the Post Office Department oc-
cupied the greater part of the six stories

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The sig
nificance of many recent changes in
the office of the Secretary of Inte-
rior, amounting to almost a complete
change in the personnel of the Off
cials holding responsible positions
under the secretary, is of vital inter
est to the West. The conduct of the
offices held by these officials largely
determines the fate of so many vital
issues in the West, that so marked
change coincident with the retire
ment of Secretary Ballinger has
been the subject of considerable
anxiety and no little speculation
among Western members.
1t would be a mistake, however,
to assign these changes, which will
remove from the Interior department
a set of officials who have had long
experience in the department and
substitute a considerable number of
new and untried men, as entirely
due to the change in secretaries.

Lawler, who next to Willis Van De
vanter, is the strongest man who
has held that position in many years,
