WASHINGTON, d. c., June g. -
Political Washington has been inter
ested in the force with which Gov.
Harmon handled the Ohio conyenuou.
Not only did he prevent any sor, OF
a compromise, but after enforcing The
unit rule, which gives him forty-eignt
votes from Ohio, he vigorously sup
pressed the ambitions of his own pro-
tege, Senator Pomerene, to be chair
rian of the convention, because Pom.
creme had opposed the enforcement OF
the unit rule. In this there is q goua
deal of significance. Pomerene would
not be United States senator had ST.
rot been for Gov. Harmon. Harmon
would not have at the present mo-
ment the bitter hostility of John il.
McLean's two influential papers, the
Cincinnati Enquirer and the Washing
ton Post, had he not quietly aided the
election of Pomerene.
Why Pomerene Was Chosen.
| do not mean that Pomerene was
elected senator because of any active
work on Harmons part Indeed, it
came as near being a case of cleo
ton of senator by direct vote of the
people as we have had in this coun-
try Pomerene was nominated for
acknowledgements with the perfect
understanding set forth in newspapers
III Ohio Of all political classes that
should he be elected to that office,
and the legislature be democratic, he
would be elected senator.
1t was a curious fact that the be-
ginning of the bitter hostility Of W
j. Bryan to Gov. Harmon proceeded
from this very understanding Mr.
Bryan ragged and declared that Har-
mon was playing into the hands of
John r. Mclean. Mclean In turn
ragged and declared that Harmon was
antagonizing his ambitions to be Unit
ed States senator. In the end the
man elected by the people was seated
leaving the unfortunate Harmon with
the hostility of both Bryan and Nc
Lean. Neither one will listen to rea-
son and both have to be reckoned
with as enemies in the Harmon pres
idential campaign.
Harmon to Be Reckoned With.
There is a tendency in Washington
to decry the strength of the Harmon
behind him he will go into the con-
vention with fewer votes then either
Clark. Wilson or Underwood At the
same time he is factor to be reckoned
with. Had he gone out as vigorously
as Wilson or Clark eighteen months
ago he would, in the judgment Of the
best posted politicians here, hold the
convention in the hollow of his hand
Il is quite true that he has one ele-
ment of weakness from which neither
o. the others suffers. The very men
who think Bryan is a burden upon
the democratic party say that they
do not dare to nominate a man whom
Bryan will antagonize. That is a night
yet to be fought out
It is paralleled to some degree by
the antagonism to Champ Clark,
which rests very largely upon Mr..
Hearst's earnest support of him.
There is a feeling, probably unjusti-
fable, that Clark would be a Hearst
president, and people are already
specializing upon cabinets made up
OF Hearst's proteges, with Hearst him
self as vice president. Whether such
speculations are ridiculous or have

GETS MIXED ON TWINS
AT CHRISTENING TIME

NEW BRUNSWICK IN. j., June
1O.-"What name do you give this
child??" asked Rev Jasper Samuel
Hogan, pastor of the First Reformed
Church, yesterday, when Fred ].
Woerner proudly and carefully car
ried a very pretty little boy to the
front
"Is this Joseph Frederick or Irving
Tappen?" Mr. Woerner asked, turning
to his wife, who was with him, car
rying another babe that was also to
be christened.
Mrs. Woerner set him right, and
the ceremony proceeded. Mr.. Woern-
er's sons are twins, an look so much
alike that the father admits that he
can't tell one from the other.

LIQUOR LICENSES

twenty-five liquor licenses were
granted by the license commissioners
after a stormy meeting yesteraa- at
crnoon, which WAS prolonged BY a
long drawn cut argument between
representatives of the Anti-Saloon
League and the attorneys for the APP
plicants.
Three protests were presented by
the league, two which were settled
against it, while tn third--against
granting a licnse to R. Murakami-
still hangs fire and will be settled at
the next meeting.
The twelve whose applications
were to have been thrown out by
the tax assessor on the ground that
they had not paid their income tax,
settled the question by making their
returns at the tax Office early in the
morning and when they attended the
meeting in the afternoon they were
armed with their receipts.

of Mr.. Capias lately, Melissa" observ-
ed Mrs. Merriwid's maternal maiden
Aunt Jane, beginning with the wrong
color a new row in the afghan she
was knitting.
Mrs. Merriwid delicately picked up
a cGn0ied violet from the box of bon
bons in her lap and, crunching it be-
tween her white teeth, answered with
some indistinctness of articulation
that there was good deal of Mr..
Capias to see.
He is certainly fine figure of a
man" said Aunt Jane.
1.-TWO figures" corrected Mrs. Merri-
wild. "Twenty-three is the gentlemsn's
number, the way I've got it down.
Cheer up, dearie, well see less of him
after this evening. We've got the
probate business about settled and all
I've got TO do is to settle him"

REVENUE CUTTER MANNING SAVES

The revenue cutter Manning was in
port here when the eruption began
and furnished refuge for all the in
habitants of the town, 500 men, wom-

many lives. The Manning is now serv-
ing distilled water and government
rations to the destitute people, the
water supply having been polluted
and springs filled with ashes.
The navy's wireless station was de-
stroyed by fire and the Manning's

CHAMPIONS TARIFF REDUCTION

10 per cent in Ferromanganese and
allied products.
This will mean a loss of revenue
of 1901 900 a year." he said, but as
the latter products are used eXclu-
sively by manufacturers and not by
the people, think the two houses Of
Congress ought to get together on
them
Representative Serene Payne and
Mr.. Underwood had a small colloquy
on the subject Of pig iron.
Representative Underwood said that
there is practically no competition
from imported pig iron
The railroad rate into the int
rior," he said, makes it almost i'm
possible to ship pig iron into this
country There is scarcely any com
petition in this commidity therefore,
except right on the sea coast
Representative Hill, Connecticut,
charged Representative Underwood
with making statements which are
absolutely in contradiction to the
views of the majority leader up to
this point.
"He is mistaken in what l said"
retorted Mr.. Underwood.
Hill Sees Danger.
We'll" said Mr.. HILL the effect
of this reduction would be to allow
more pig iron to be brought here
from abroad; to take away money
from American laborers and Amer
lean mills, and give it to foreign
ers."
Representative Cullup, Indiana, rid
iculed the ideas of Mr.. Hill.
why" said he, I'VE can produce
this iron cheaper than any other
country on earth; then how can any .
other country compete with US"
The House voted to agree with the
Senate in the reduction after ten
minutes of further debate.
The ways and means committee
proposed to stand by the Canadian
reciprocity act; the Senate amend
ment proposed to repeal the Cana
dian reciprocity act, and also to re-
duce tariff duty on wood pulp print
paper from 81 to So ton.
Defends Republican Plan.
Representative Lenroot of Wiscon- !
sin defended the republican end of
the program.
Since Canada has rejected reciproc-
ity, TIE repeal of this law ought to
receive every republican vote" said
he, in the course of a ten-minute
speech.

marked, that the President of the
United States wishes he had never
heard of reciprocity. I am going to

Cause of the Trouble.

Although the fight for several hours
ives based on the question of reciproc-
ity, the report which started all the
trouble also includes the Senate prop
osition to reduce the duty on all
print paper to 81 a ton. The duty on
this paper in the present tariff law
amounted in 1911 to an average of
about 81 a ton. Canadian reciprocity
would remove the duty on all paper
from that country.
"As practically all of our imports
of paper came from that country"
says the Underwood report, the eff
feet of this provision has been to give
this country print paper free of duty.
To make another change at the pres
ent time in the rate of duty would
disturb existing business conditions
and operate in favor of high prices
for special interests"

The scenes when the eruption was

For more than forty hours the peo-

She had not proceeded far when the

worn out. The people of the island

CAPTAIN OF MAIL STEAMER
DESCRIBES ALASKAN ERUPTION

SEWARD, Alaska, June 1O.-Capt
McMullen of the mail steamer Dora
which was endangered by the Katmai
eruption, gave a description yesterday
of the beginning of the VOLCANOES &C
tivities. Just before the terrific ex-
plosion that blew the accumulated oe,
bris out of the crater he saw a slight
column of smoke rise from the peak
of the mountain. Then came the eX.
plosion, followed by a gigantic fan
shaped sheet of fame. The debris
blown into the air by the explosions
seemed to be falling in the direction
of his ship, and Captain McMullen put
the Dora about and ran at full speed
for safety.
