Uganda Bibles.
From the London Globe.

What is perhaps the most extraordinary
form in which the Bible has ever been
offered Is that edition of the Scriptures
in the language OF Uganda. The volume is
of great length. but only three inches in
thickness and the same in width.
A peculiar reason occasioned the adop-
ton Of this form. In central Africa the
white ants and other insects rapidly de-
stroy books unless they are we'll protect
ed. The representative of the Church
mended to the Biby Society that it would
issue this edition in q form that would
fit into the tin biscuit boxes of a certain
firm that is popular in Uganda families.
This was done and the antproof tin box
is just large enough to hold this Bible.

on his return to his home, Il do not

casion for any such organization, as the
republican party in Missouri is a thor

so continue. I have no intention of TAX

the preparation Of such a ballot. it will
be subject for future consideration by
those interested in the success of the re-

the names OF the republican state and
local candidates cannot be placed upon
this ticket as well as upon the regular

FOR TWO WARSH|PS
Senate Tacks Amendment to
House Naval Bill.
CONFERENCE TO BE HELD
Effort Will Be Made to Reach Agree
ment Whereby One Will Be
Provided For, at Least.
CONFERENCE TO BE HELD

Conferees representing the Senate and
House are now confronted with the diff
ficult task OF reconciling the attitude of
the two houses Of Congress toward the
construction Of two new battleships this
year. The House. after a caucus by the
democrats, passed the naval appropri-
alton bill without making any provision
for the building of new battleships, not
even one. The Senate late yesterday aft
ernoon passed the bill with an amend
ment making provision for the construc-
ton Of two new dreadnoughts.
The bill win be sent to conference with
in few days. 1t is predicted the con-
ferees will at least agree upon a provision
for one new battleship; but the friends
Of a greater navy are optimistic over the
prospects for two, in view of the declara-
tions of the democratic platform. which
pledge the party to increasing the
strength Of the navy. THIS platform was
adopted after the House democrats had
decided against battleship appropriations
this year, and it is argued by the friends
of the navy that the House democrats
should take this later declaration as an
expression of the rank and file of the
party members.
Adopted After Struggle.
The two-battleship amendment was not
adopted in the Senate yesterday after
noon without a struggle. Senator john
ston of Alabama, democrat, moved that
provision be made for only one battle
ship instead Of two. In the course of
speech in advocacy of one ship, he gave
notice that he would propose an amend
ment to the Panama canal bill to deny
the use of the canal to nations who do
not agree to a naval program of one new
'battleship year.
The -one-battleship proposition was re-
jected by a vote Of II to -. Those who
voted for 1t were Senators Bacon, Fetch
er, Johnston. Kern, Pomerene. Smith Of
Arizona, Tillman and Williams, demo-
Gratis, and BriBtow. Burton, Clapp and
Gronna, republicans.
National Council Knocked Out.
The proposal OF the Senate committee
on naval affairs for the creation Of a
national council OF defense, embo died in
an amendment to the bill. was knocked
out on a point OF order. made by Sem
ator Overman Of North Carolina. When
he made the objection, it was whispered
to him that the democratic national plat
form declared in favor of the plan. but
he was insistent: and the democratic
president pro tempore, senator Bacon,
sustained the point Of order.
ger and Hepburn, on the ground that the
cost would be increased four to five mil
lion dollars. the Senate adopted an
amendment making the recently enacted
eight-hour law applicable to the construc-
ton Of the new ships.

INSURGENTS WITHDRAW
FROM SENATE COALITION
Will Not Unite With Democrats
to Get Tariff Legislation
Through.

1nsurgent republicans are no longer
in coalition with the democrats of the
Senate to get tariff legislation through
the upper house Of Congress. The in
surgents have notified the democrats
to that effect, and the democrats rec
ognize that they have practically no
chance to push the House tariff pro-
gram through the Senate in any form.
The severing of the lines connecting the
insurgent republicans with the democrats
has come as a result Of the action of the
Senate on the metal tariff revision bill.
A group of the regular republicans stayed
out of the chamber when the metal bill
was being passed, and as result the
metal bill was allowed to pass
the Senate against the opposition Of the
II the regulars had voted the
democratic metal bill would have been de-
feated, but minute later, after a motion
to reconsider. the democrats and insur-
gents would have united to pass an in
Urgent metal revision bill.
Think There Is Nothing to Gain.
But the tactics of the republican regu-
lars did not give the insurgent bill! a
chance, and therefore tie insurgents have
concluded there is nothing to gain from
the coalition with the democrats.
This means that the sugar. excise and
wool bills of the House will be defeated
in the Senate by party votes.
The metal bill Is the only tariff meas
ure to get through the upper house this
session, but that is practically dead by
rea son of the adoption of an amendment
repeating the Canadian reciprocity law.
The chemical bill was defeated by q party
vote. the insurgent and regular republi-
cans uniting against Il.

NOT NEW TO POLITICS
John G. Capers, Declaring for
Taft, Recalls When Roose-

John G. Capers, republican national
committeeman from South Carolina, and
once Roosevelt man. has announced his
intention to support President Taft in the
campaign which has just opened. In a
statement outlining his attitude and rea-
sons he says it was Col. Roosevelt who
introduced into politics the steam roller
concerning which his supporters so loud
ly complained at Chicago. In this state
ment Mr.. Capers says he was one of the
fifteen members of the committee who en-
deavored to bring about the nomination OF
Col. Roosevelt, but that he intends to
support the action of the convention in
nominating President Taft; that to bolt
the convention is rot at all part of his
intentions. Although the statement does
not say so. Mr.. Capers was appointed
commissioner of internal revenue by Pres
ident Roosevelt.
