CONFERENCE IS ASKED
ON WOOL TARIFF BILL
Senate Will Stand Firm for the
La Toilette Measure-To
Discuss Other Bills.

The democrats of the Senate agreed
in caucus today to stand firm for the
La Toilette wool bill and to ask the
House for a conference on the con-
hicting measures.
The House yesterday refused to ac-
cept the La Toilette bill passed by the
Senate. but sent 1T back without re-
quest for conference
The Senate adopted the La Toilette
bill last Thursday, through the coali-
tion of democrats and progressive re-
publicans In the caucus today the
Democrats decided. by a vote Of 20 to 6,
not to recede from the La Toilette bill
and accept the House measure, but to
stand firm and demand a conference
with the House.

To Discuss Tariff Bills.

Democratic leaders, including Senators
Simmons and Martin, were authorized to
undertake a settlement of all the tariff
bills now at issue between the two houses
These include the combination metal
chemical bill. passed some time ago. and
the wool, sugar and excise tax bills, or
which the House yesterday refused to ac-
cept the Senate's amendments.
Senator Simmons reported to the caucus
today that plan had been, discussed
among republican leaders to absent them
selves from the chamber and let the dcm-
ocrats adopt the House wool bill.
The caucus went on record, however,
against participation in such a move. on
the ground that the House wool bill, II
it reached President Taft unchanged
would undoubtedly be vetoed.
II is the expectation now that the reg
ular republican leaders of the Senate will
offer no obstructions to the settlement OF
the tariff bills in conference. On the
wool bill 1t IL believed the conferees will
again be Senator's La Toilette, Bailey and
Simmons, and that an agreement Will be
reached upon the same basis as last year,
when the raw wool duty was fixed at g
per cent ad valorem.

Those on Committee.

The special committee. which said il
had found no evidence that Japan or
any other foreign nation was behind the
movement to acquire the land about
Magdalena bay. which the United States
considers the most advantageously To-
Gated naval base on the Pacific coast,
is composed Of Senators Lodge. Root.
Sutherland Hitchcock and Rayner.

Magdalena bay lands. however. did ad
vance tho idea that their possession
ctild he Of peculiar benefit 10 foreign
nation. II is claimed. Ii was because of
This attitude on tho part OF the persons
concerned in the handling OF the Next
can property that the foreign relations
committee decided today 10 take quick
action.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota asked the
committee TO make public the names of
the Americans interested i'm the syndicate
that had tried TO sell the land to foreign
company. He said the country ought to
know the names Of Americans who were
so unpatriotic.

Magdalena Bay Matter.

No evidence had been found, said the
report that Japan or any other country
was behind the Magdalena bay deal, but
il added:
1T appears further however, from the
evidence that the corporations or persons
who have, or claim TO have, title to the
lands surrounding Magdalena bay have
made efforts to form syndica te~and 10
promote the sale of these lands upon
lasis of the existence of some national
value To a foreign nation In Magdalena
lay as distinct from any commercial
value which that bay and the adjoining
territory might possess.
The fact that such an idea has formed
the basis Of a negotiation between the
possessors Of title to the lands about
Magdalena bay and the citizens subjects
or corporations of a foreign power. seems
10 the committee on foreign relations to
afford an appropriate occasion for an eX-
preston of the view OF the Senate of the
United States regarding this and similar
cases For this reason the committee
recommends the adoption OF the resolu-
ton
The firm stand by the United States is
asked for as an outgrowth OF the Magda-
lena bay incident. where ii was shown
that a Japanese syndicate had been ne
gotiating for 100000 acres of land along
the west coast of southern California,
which is Mexican property.
The Lodge resolution probably will be
adopted BY the Senate.

WHEN THEY HARVEST COFFEE
GuatemaIan Pickers Are Paid Little,
but Make Attractive Scene on
the Plantation.

The harvest season on a large cof
fee finca in Guatemala is the busiest
time of the year. At the first hint of
dawn great bell calls the Indians to
work, and men, women and children,
laden with wide, fiat baskets, start
for the fields, where all day long they
pick the bright red berries. The re-
suit of a good days work for each
picker is about three bushels of ber-
ries. At sunset the great baskets,
piled high with the crimson fruit, are
brought to the Weighing house, where
the contents are weighed, each picker
receiving a check for the amount due
him. The Southern Workman says
the wages are Z or cents a day, paid
in full every Saturday night. There
is no more beautiful or attractive
scene in the world than a vast coffee
field in this country when the harvest
ing is in full swing for the costume
of the Guatemala Indian is the most
effective and picturesque in all Cen
trail America. The womans dress
usually consists of three pieces:
long cloth generally of many hues,
red and yellow predomnatlng) wound
several times around the lower limbs;
the juipil, or shirt. richly embroidered
with curious designs-brds, animals.
arrow patterns or geometrical figures
in many colors: and a gaudy belt or
sash holding the two garments to-
gether. The hair is worn in two
heavy bralds, often intertwined with
gay ribbons. In the north the women
wear curlously woven head bands sew
eral yards in length, wound around
and around the head and tied in a
double knot over the forehead. They
are made Of silk richly colored, ending
in heavy tassels of silver and are
very effective.

HORSE TAILS ARE IMPORTED
They Come From Many Lands and
Are Used In Making Brushes
and Cloth.

An Item that seemed odd In the
manifest of steamer lately arrived
from Japanese and Chinese ports was
this In the list of her cargo from
Tlentsin: Fifty-hve cases Of horse
tails.
AS a matter OF fact horse tails, or
the hair thereof, are a common ar
ticle importation into this country
from China and from pretty much
every other country on earth. Tie
American market gets large quantities
of them from China, but more from
Russia; and horse tails are imported
here from every other European
country and from South America, from
Australia, from all round the world
On the other hand there are more
or less American horse tails exported
From various causes the supply of
horse tails, like that OF anything else,
may In one country and another vary
from year to year, and there may be
years when the worlds supply is short
and years when it Is plentiful, with
corresponding changes in the range of
prices. Horse tails have sold as low
as 20 cents a pound and they have
sold for as much as SO. II stocks are
scarce and high In London, and ample
at lower prices here, New York I'm
porters ship horse tails to London; in
the contrary circumstances London
importers might ship horse tails here.
Horsetail hairs are sorted for length
and colors and they are used either
alone or mixed with other fibers In
the manufacture of various sorts of
brushes and mixed with other ma
terials in the manufacture OF hair
cloth.

Tuning Bells.

When bells in a chime produce dis.
cord they can be tuned. The tone OF
a bell may be raised or lowered bv
cutting off little metal in the proper
places. To lower the tone the bell
tuner puts the bell in his lathe and
reams II out from the point where the
swell begins, nearly down to the rim.
AS the work proceeds he frequently
tests the note with a tuning fork, and
the moment the right tone is reached
he stops roaming. To raise the tone,
on the contrary, he shaves off the
lower edge Of the bell, gradually less
ening or fiattening the bevel, in order
to shorten the bell. for Of two bells
of equal diameter and thickness the
shorter will give the higher note. A
noteworthy instance Of bell-tuning
was at Lausanne, where twelve bells,
in three neighboring steeples, pro
duced only seven distinct notes, and
gave out a most curious discord.
