THE LA TOILETTE MEASURE.
The Recruiting Tariff Situation is Ex-

licans in the session of the senate
late Thursday and joined with the
Democrats in passing the La Toilette

by vote of AZ to 20 less than two
hours after the Republican leaders had

AGREE ON SUGAR
TARIFF REVISION
REPUBLICANS IN SENATE GET
TOGETHER ON COMPROMISE
AND FINALLY PASS BILL.
The New Measure Reduces the Duty
on Refined Product From $3.50 to
$1.6o and Abolishes the Dussh
Standard.

Washington,-A Republican sugar
tariff, the first purely Rera5. an re
vision measure of the present con
gress, was adopted in the senate on
Saturday. Deserving their = cs of
the previous two days, the Regub icaa
Insurgents. by an iron-c'ad agreement
with the regulars, succeeded in passing
a tariff reduction bill which ley be-
lieve President Taft will sign.
The sugar bill was a compromise
between the Lodge plan. indorsed by
the regular Republicans. and the Bris-
tow bill behind which the Insurgents
lined up.
1t would cut the present sugar duty
of $190 to SLIGO; would abol sh the
Dutch standard. under which practi
cally no refined sugar can be import
ed; and would abolish the seven and a
half per cent ''refners' diftere1tial'
an additional duty on refined sugar
which. 1t is claimed, has accrued di
rectly to the profit of the refners.
The attitude OF the senate Demo
Gratis in finally supporting the Repub
lican bill is expected to have infiu
ence with the Democrats of the house
when the amended bin goes back
there. The senate probably will name
Senators Penrose and Lodge, Repub
hcans, and Simmons, Democrat, or
the conference committee.

ingenious native was who first sug-
gested this mode OF crossing river

Assam and had seen monkeys crossing
the river there by means of growing
creepers-there is no doubt that he
found the one method which is ap-
plicable to the big rivers, exaggerated
mountain torrents, of eastern Tibet
and far western China. The obvious
way for natives to cross a river is by
canoe. but, unfortunately, neither the
Salween nor the Mekong, big as they
are, are navigable even for canoes in
Tibet. The single-way rope bridge

pass the leather thongs; to these
thongs the man, baggage or animal is
tied, so that he hangs just beneath the
rope. and. being pushed off the plat
