let went through the screen and lodg-
ed in delivery wagon in the rear OF

a bottle of beer and a pitcher of hot
water, and be sure and turn the tip
over to the boss. Us guys have quit.
We've just held a meeting and the
question of walking out on a strike
was carried unanimously. See?"
Then the bell boys walked out.
In the meantime, grips Of all de-
scriptions were accommodating on the
floor of the lobby till all the available

HOUSE PASSES WOOL BILL.
But II is Likely the Senate Will Wait
for Commissions Report.

But II is Likely the Senate Will Wait
for Commissions Report.
Washington, June 21.-The house,
by vote of 221 to 100 passed the
Underwood wool tariff resolution pro-
viding for reduction Of the duty on
wool and manufacturers of wool.
Twenty-four republicans voted with
the democrats for the passage of the
measure and one democrat, Represen.
tative Francis of Ohio, voted against
1t.
Many amendments were voted down,
the only one adopted being a slight
change In phraseology.
The bill places duty of 20 percent
ad valorem on raw wool imports, as
against an average duty of little
more than A. percent ad valorem I'M
der the present law. On manufactured
wool and products in whole or in part
from wool, the average duty under the
proposed law would be about 42.5 per.
cent ad valorem, as compared with the
present average ad valorem duty Of
more than 80 percent.
The ways and means committee has
estimated the bill would reduce the
annual revenue under the wooden
schedule Of the tariff by little more
than $1,OO0,000. The bill prescribes
that it shall be in effect January 1
next, but it is not believed the bill
| will pass the senate at this session.

Europe Ahead Of America.

Belgium and Holland are the coun-
tries which were most pleasing to Mr..
and Mrs. ID. Mathewson, who returned
last Sunday from six months tour
of Europe. They visited almost every
country in Europe.
In Belgium and Holland, says Mr..
Mathewson, the wonderful scientific
farming is noted by the traveller i'm
mediately after he begins looking
around. There are many fields dotted
with beautiful Holstein cows and fine
horses, such as are seldom seen in
this country. Ordinary cows sell for
from SIS to 500 each. The people of
those two countries, he says, are very
thrifty and they are able to produce
just twice as much from their land as
the American farmers.
Good Roads Are Found.
Good roads are the feature of Hol-
land and Belgium. In Holland the
country is very low and the roads are
built up quite high. In both countries,
however, the road construction is
about the same-gravel, with a strip
Of about thirteen feet of brick in the
center. Most Of the travel Is done on
this brick, while the gravel on the
sides makes an excellent roadbed, at

Trains Always On Time.
Railroad rates, he says, will soor
be equal to those in this country. The
fast trains make as fast time as dc
those in this country, and while the
engines are excellent ones, the rolling
stock is very poor. "The trains in Eu
rope are always on time" he says.
On the tipping question, Mr.. Math
ewson brings back the news that this
disagreeable problem has not yet beer
eliminated, in fact. it is growing
worse, and the tip is getting larger
