together much in the past year. both
In New York city and at Bar Harbor
and Narragansett Pier.
The engagement. in fact, follows an

Miss Force was graduated only last
May from Miss Spence's school in New

by the parents of the future Mrs. As.
tor, but 1t did not come as surprise,
as the report of the engagement, al
though denied, was persistently circu.

long ago as last winter.

the two daughters of Mr.. and Mrs
William H. Force, Is one of the best
known of the young women in New

of the amateur performances that were
features of the smart life of the city
during the winters of 1909 and 1910.
Both she and her sister, Miss Kath
crime Force, are beautiful young wo
men--the future wife of Colonel Aston
being a decided blonde.
The engagement has been rumored
In social circles for several months
according to Mr.. Force, who said he
had feared that unpleasant talk might
arise.
Therefore insisted on making the
formal announcement" Mr.. Force con
tinued. II called Colonel Aston on the
telephone and we discussed the mat
ter. For reasons of his own he had
not desired so early an announcement
but he accepted my point of view, anc
it was agreed between us that should
make the announcement.
mo date has been set yet for the
marriage. All of that will come later
My daughter is with her mother and
sister at IS West Thirty-seventf
street"

Havana, Cuba, Aug Am uprising
against the government occurred at

across the harbor, when General Gull
lermo Acevedo, a revolutionary vet
eran, with eight or ten companies,
armed and mounted, took the field. 1t
is reported that the party was rein.

Before leaving Regia, General Ace

the administration of President Gomez
as scandalous and corrupt, and adjur.
ing all patriotic Cubans to rise and
overthrow it.
He declared that he would give Go

FREE LIST PASSES
Amended Bill Goes Through
the Senate.
CONFERENCE ON COMPROMISE
Ali Insurgents and Two Regulars
Join With Democrats in
Passing the Tariff
Measure.
CONFERENCE ON COMPROMISE

Washington, Aug. 2.-The farmers
free list bill, not in the original form
in which it came from the house, but
as amended by Senator Kern, of In.
diana, was passed by the senate by a
final vote of AS ayes to 80 noes.
The bill as passed is materially diff
ferent from the house bill. By the
force of an amendment offered by Sen
ator Kern, OF Indiana, meats and flour
are admitted free emily when coming
from Canada.
This amendment was adopted by 40
to 20, and was the real test of the
question whether the bill would pass.
Had the measure been left so as TO
provide for free meats and free -four
from all parts of the world number
of the insurgents would have refused
to support it. They insisted that they
could not venture to put the farmers
from their states into competition with
Argentina, Australian and the Carib-
bean region on meats, and with Argen-
tina on -four.
The paragraph relating to free ad-
mission of leather and boots and shoes
was strengthened. Cement and lime
were added to the free list Senator
Gore made an attempt to get free pa
per and pulp from all parts of the
world. This was beaten by 25 to 50.
This action by the insurgents and
Democrats uniting made it clear that
arrangements had been made to put
through the bill substantially as had
been done in the case of the wool
measure.
The action of the senate means that
President Taft will have another tariff
bill put up to him to veto or to sign.
The measure will go TO conference,
and there will doubtless be an agree
ment between the two houses.
1t is not yet quite clear just how
far the house Democrats will resist
the adoption of the senate bill as it
passed. They will probably put up a
perfunctory fight against the Kern
amendments, which have the effect Of
limiting free meat and free -four pro-
visions to such countries as we have
reciprocity arrangements with and adj
NIT certain of our articles free; that
is, to Canada.
The insurgents voted for the free
list bill, and so did Senators McCum-
bee and Nelson, of the regulars, on
the theory that they were paying back
the farmer in part for his losses on
reciprocity
1t is regarded as certain that Presi-
dent Taft will veto the bill in case it
reaches him, as there is now every in
dication it will.
AS the bill now stands the following
are among the chief articles admitted
free:
Agricultural implements. cotton bag.
ging, cotton ties, leather, boots and
shoes, fence wire, timber, lumber, sew
ing machines and salt from all coun-
tries.
Importations from Canada of meats,
cereals, -four and bread are admitted
free. AS already mentioned, lime and
cement were added.
