Washington, July 8.-After consid-

the Canadian reciprocity bill, and
over the protest of Senator Cummins
began voting on his proposed amend.
ments. The amendment putting
meats on the free list was defeated.
Bailey Immediately moved an ad-
1ournment. but the senate voted down
the motion.
Cummins again referred to what he
considered unfairness of forcing the
vote on his amendments before the
senator's had chance to speak on
them. He declared that leaving the
duty on Canadian meat would benefit
only the big packers of the United
States.
Norton. of Ohio, in voting against
Cummins' amendments said he did so
because he thought it would upset
the whole Canadian agreement. He
said he favored free meat, but not as
an item on the reciprocity bill, where
1t might defeat the whole arrange

Searchlight the Cause
It is supposed that a powerful
searchlight used by gang Of rail-

the wreck is the cause of the vessel
leaving its course, the quartermaster
mistaking 1t for the light of the Point
Arguello lighthouse.
The vessel lay about 200 yards from

Atlantic City. N. J.. July S-Curi-
osity Of bulldog endangered the
lives of Harry N. Atwood and Charles
K. Hamilton, aviators yesterday after
noon and compelled them to abandon
their proposed fight from this resort
to Washington. Just as their biplane
started from the ground on the first
OF several attempts to get into the
air, a dog, running across the beach,
poked his nose into one Of the whirl-
ing propellers. The dog was killed,
while one of the blades of the pro-
peller was slightly split. Hamilton
succeeded In temporarily repairing
the damage and another attempt was
made to ascend, but it proved fail
ure as q sti6 northeast wind was
blowing from the ocean, making the
air currents exceedingly tricky. On
the third effort to get into the air the
biplane rose to height Of about 100
feet Then the experts on the ground
noticed that one Of the propellers had
greater lifting power than the other
and the machine sailed along trifle
unsteady. The biplane was lowering
over the edge Of the ocean when a
sudden gust Of wind struck it and
before Atwood could right the craft
It suddenly plunged downward into
the breakers. For an instant the avia-
tors were hidden behind q cloud of
spray. then dozen Mfeguards plung-
ed into the surf and assisted the two
men to free themselves and hauled
the machine up on the beach. An
examination showed that the aircraft
had been damaged beyond immediate
repair SO the aviators announced that
the fight was off for the day.

ernment service despite the recon-
mendation Of the house committee on
expenditures that they be dismissed
because of their connection with the
so-called DAY portrait mystery"
1t Is understood that the state de-
partment considers the recommends
tion Of dismissal unwarranted in both
cases and that both officials will have
champions should President Taft seek
to get the state departments view Of
the matter.
Expect Taft to Champion Men
The president Is certain to consult
the state department before taking
action, and as the dismissal Of these
officers will depend upon the presi-
dent their friends are confident that
they will not lose their places.
The house committees report does
not include resolution calling the
attention Of Mr.. Knox to it's findings.
The report probably will be allowed
to lie on the speakers table for a
few days but If the department shows
no disposition to dismiss the men
mentioned Representative Hamlin of
Missouri, chairman Of the committee,
will offer a resolution suggesting
pointedly that this be done.
Here is the most striking part Of
fha cOmmittoasa ronorf.
"The conclusion reached by your
committee seems irresistible that this
sum Of $1,000 was Jointly misappro-
priated by Michael and Morrison or
individually by Michaels, either
through the incompetence or the
connivance of Morrison"
John Hay, as secretary Of state, is
completely exonerated from any con-
nection with the misappropriation.
In letter to the state department in
1906 Colonel Michael declared that he
had turned the unaccounted money
over to Secretary Hay. When the let
