Prince Henry of Reuss. who speaks

account of certain officers Of the Ger

"One Of our chaplains." said the
prince, had the hardihood to preach

tariff as an issue before Congress by
the end of the week will mark an
Important step in the progress toward
an early adjournment. Agreements for
votes on the leading tariff bills. cou-
pied with understandings that other
important legislation will be disposed
of, indicate that the week will see
some of the most important work OF
the session.
Failure of Congress to agree on the
appropriation bills which should have
been passed before July 1st, has en-
barrassed many government depart
ments. Pressure has been brought to
bear on House and Senate to dispose
of the pending measures, and it is ex-
pec.ed much progress will be made in
the next few days.
The agricultural and naval bills are
in conference. Failure to act on the
postoffice appropriation bill has re-
tarded work in that department.
The first of the week will be de-
voted, 1t is expected, to completion
and the debate on the Panama canal
administration bill in the Senate.
The Democratic wool tariff bill will
be voted on Thursday. the excise tax
bill Friday and the sugar tariff Satur-
day. On each measure the debate will
be limited to the single day set for
the vote.
1t is expected that the House will
take up the tariff again and pass the
cotton bill. as the result of the SEN
ate's determination to submit the
other Democratic measures to a vote.
The House will consider measures
regulating employment OF seamen on
American ships: the eight-hour law
covering government work; the free
ship" bill. for tho admission without
tariff duty OF materials used in Amer
ican ships. and the wireless telegraph
measure agreed upon by the two
houses.
The need for immediate legislation
regulating the operation Of the Pan
anna canal is fully appreciated in the
Senate, where the fight over free tolls
for American ships threatens to hold
up the bill already passed by the
House. il plan has been broached Ii
the Senate to pass a temporary meas
ure giving President Taft executive
authority to operate the canal and to
fix temporary toll rate, leaving the
permanent question to be settled Al
the next session.

Drowned on 12-s.ory Roof.

New York-Robert Kinsella. en-
ployed by a corset company at 120
East Sixteenth street, was drowned on
top of twelve-story building at that
address when he wen. to the roof to
release a foot and half OF water
which had collected there when the
drain pipe became clogged up. He
ran his right arm down into the drain
pipe after he had cleared away the
rubbish at the mouth of the hole. When
the suction OF the rushing water
caught him he was drawn into the pipe
up to the shoulder. Despite the ef-
forts OF three companions to pull him
out the suction held him firm and his
head was drawn into the water. which
still remained on the roof. In plain
sight, lokins up at them through the
few inches of water that covered his
face, he was drowned.

two dissenting votes.
The check-off system, whereby min

man to the union, taking the money
out OF his pay check, caused a lengthy
argument but was accepted.
The flag question, which caused
heated debate, was settled when the

chased and draped above the presi-
dents chair. A motion to change the

MADE BIG PROFIT FOR STATE
Purely Business Argument for the Es.
tabIishment Of Sanitoriums for
the Tuberculosis.

According to figures contained In the

perintendent of the Rhode Island state
sanitorium, the earnings of the ex-
patients of that institution during the
year 1911 would amount to over $685.
900. This is sum three times as
large as that spent each year for main
tenance of the institution, including
four per cent. interest and deprecia-
ton charges.
The actual earnings in 1911 OF 170
ex-patients were obtained by DR..
Barnes. These ranged from 81 to
S31 per week, the total earnings for
the year amounting to s102.752. On
this basis. DR.. Barnes computes the
figures above given. He says, how
ever: while institutions for the cure
of tuberculosis are good investments.
there is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation of far
advanced cases would be still better
