to got rid OF. These facts are noto-
rious and need no argument The
retention of such officers on a stat
corps has a most serious effect upon
the interests of the army as a whole,
for inefficient staff officers not only
constitute a menace to the efficiency
of the entire army, but are a eontin-
ual source or embarrassment and
difficulty to the staff departments
concerned, besides lowering the
standard OF efficiency therein
After further discussing the rela-
tive merits of the detailed and per

M ~
Washington, Feb. 1.-The work
OF the tariff board. eve under The
last years appropriation by nc
means ceased with the publication
of the wool report A report on the
cotton industry, even more exhaus-
tive than the wool publication, will
go from the board to the White
House and thence to Congress about
February l.
The board began the Investigation
of the difference in cost of producing
cotton goods at Tome and abroad
simultaneously with the wool inves-
tigation. OF the scores of tariff
board experts who swarmed into for
eign countries as soon as the body
gots Its appropriation and began
work, many collected statistics from
both cotton and WOODEN Industries.
Japan and China, England, Ger
many, France and Belgium-these
are some Of the countries in which
the Manufacture of cotton fabrics
has been studied exhaustively by the
tarin board agents. The report will
fill five big volumes, against four for
the wool report. 1t is said that the
cotton report is the most complete

ton OF any commodity ever made.
The final work OF tabulation is being
rushed by a force of fifty expert
statisticians.
In a way the tariff boards work
on the cotton schedule was simpler
than the task imposed by the wool
study, In that there was required no
study OF the cost of producing raw
cotton either at home or abroad.
Raw cotton Ia on the free list, and
the tariff board is paying no atten-
ton to free list commodities. The
determination of the cost of raw
wool In various countries was one
of the most difficult tasks the board
ave attempted.
The cotton report Will devote an
entire volume, the last In the Eet, to
the discussion OF labor employed In
domestic and foreign mills. In its
wool studies the board found that
American wooden mill employees are
higher paid and less efficient than
any wooden operatives elsewhere in

WASHINGTON. July 5.-The working
agreement between the Democratic and
Insurgent Republican senators Is at an
end. II has been abrogated as the re-
suit OF conferences ever since the metal
Dill was passed In the senate by the
Democrats I'm the absence OF the regular
republicans and without the aid of the
Insurgents
The probable result will he that the
house sugar and wool excise bills will
De presented To the senate and voted
down by a strict party vote. All the
republicans are expected 10 vote against
them and II Is probable that some OF the
Democrats will Join them In opposition
20 the house sugar bin. which would ad-
init sugar free OF duty.
Following the passage Of the metal
bill the Democrats appointed a commit
tee TO confer with the insurgent Repub-
ucans regarding future cooperation.
Finally the Democrats OF the committee
were notified that they could expect no
further cooperation because OF the i'm
possibility. OF getting consideration OF
the insurgent measure This condition
was produced by the decision of the
regular Republicans 10 disappear from
the chamber In sufficient Numbers to al
low the Democrats TO get their own bills
through without the aid of tho inrur-
gents. This program rendered IL impos-
sble for the insurgents TO get even a
vote on their measures. and they decid-
ed not to play" any longer.
