THE STORY IN 4 NUTSHELL
Embracing . Condensation Of Events
In Which Readers Generally Are
More or Less Concerned.
WASHINGTON.

Justus Tyler of Grand Rapids threw
down his ak in a Michigan lumber
camp when President Lincoln called
for volunteers and walked 800 miles
over ice and snow to enlist in the
Union army, and a government check
for $14 in payment OF his hardships
was mailed to him last week.
Acknowledgment was made that
the American Paper and Pulp Associa-
ton at times had advised its members
to curtail paper production ano that
its purpose was to educate the manu-
facturers to get all they could for
their product. The admission came
from Arthur c. Hastings. president
of the association.
Supervising Architect Taylor. of the
treasury department. told the house
committee on expenditures in that de-
partment that the American institute
of architects has price agreement
enforced on competitive building bids
and that the federal government was
affected by it.
President Taft will stick to Beverly
as a not weather play ground unless
congress selects a site and appropri-
ates the money for an official sum-
mer white house elsewhere. In let
ter to Governor Eberhart, of Mime
sofa, declining with thanks the offer
of a site for a presidential summer
home at WayZata, on Lake Minneton-
ka, the president explained that con-
gress alone had the authority to des-
ignate an official summer white house.

MUST GO ON RECORD
SENATORS WILL HAVE TO STAND
AND BE COUNTED.
PLANS LAID By DEMOCRATS
Senator Stone Will Lead in the Fight
to Put Through the House Tariff
Schedules.

Washington. - Senate republicans
are to be compelled to 60 on record
on every phase of the tariff that ia
acted upon by the house, II democrats
are able to bring this about. It is not
likely they will be compelled to vote
on other schedules than those which
the house revises. but it is certain at
least they can not evade record votes
on the schedules the houses passes
on and sends up.
Senate insurgents fought hard for
the lowering of duties two years ago,
and some of the democratic senators
intend to see now whether they will
adhere to the same views.
Senator Stone of Missouri will lead
in the fight to put through the upper
house the tariff schedules that are re-
vised in the house. He will not, with.
out a contest. permit the finance
committee to bottle up these meas
ures. He will move to discharge the
finance committee from consideration
of each one of the bills that it tries to
bottle up. This will precipitate long
debate on each.
The house has passed the recipro-
city measure and the free list bill. 1t
will pass a bill to reduce wooden du.
ties. 1t is not likely to do more than
this, though there has been some talk
of cotton being taken up.
The free list bill is now in the
finance committee, and that commit
tee purposes to keep it there. The
wool bill in due time will be sent
to the same committee and be pigeon
hOled.
Senator Stone will move to dis
charge the committee from consider
alton of each of these bills. The re-
sulting struggle may prolong the ses-
sion greatly, it may be into August.
or even September.
Stone and other democrats intend to
put it up to- the insurgents. They
purpose to do this especially on the
wool schedule. They intend to repre-
sent to the country that the demo-
cratic bill for a revision of the wool
schedule is substantially what Deliver
and other senate insurgents contend
ed for in 1900 and, if the insurgents
refuse to support it, then they will as
sail the insurgents for Inconsistency
and cowardice.
1t is certain, however, that some OF
the insurgents, both in the house and
senate are going to support the demo-
cratic bill revising the wool and WOOL
en- duties. Just how many will do SO
is unsettled.

Duty on American Animals.

Washington.-The customs court
has given a decision which promises
to bring customs collectors even more
unpopularisy than heretofore. Treas
ury officials declare it will entangle
the government in end of disputes un-
less congress amends it. Three words
in one section of the Payne-Aldrich
law have been construed to mean
that any American-born animal. once
taken out of this country must pay
duty to return. 1t is held tina; the
law applies to all animals from pet
pOodles to draft horses.
