Adjournment Near.

Washington. Aug. 3.-Some of Taft's
had information the president would
veto every one of the tariff bills under
consideration. The cotton, wool, sugar
and steel bills are nearly ready to go
to the White house.
Leaders of both houses said today
that congress could adjourn within a
week if the Archibald Impeachment
case was not set for immediate trial.
Underwood prepared today to urge
earlier sessions of the house and SEN
ate.
SUNDRY BILL CONFERENCE.
The conference on the sUndry civil
bill where the life of the tariff board
and other disputed questions are in
volved, is one of the few important ap-
preparation fights remaining. The
postoffice bill today was again before
the senate.
NEED ONLY FORMAL ACTION.
On the tariff bills, only formal ac-
ton by the two houses is required to
bring about the proposed agreement
on the steel, wool tariff and excise tax
bills. The cotton bill. which passed
the house yesterday, was reported TO
the senate at the opening of today's
session and referred to the finance
committee.
HOUSE AGREES TO REPORT.
The house today agreed to the con-
ference report on the wool tariff re-
vision bill, 160 to 60. Only one demo
crat, Sahbrook Of Ohio, voted against,
while "a republicans Joined with the
( democrats in the affirmative vote. The
measure now goes to the president.
! Only 40 members were in their seats
when the house was called to order.
Stanley's effort to have next Thurs
day set apart for discussion of the
steel report failed. The probabilities
now are that the steel investigation
will not be considered by the house at
! the present session.
SENATE VOTES TO RECEDE.
By a vote of 33 to 2S the senate
agreed to recede from the Canadian
reciprocity repeal amendment to the

MEXICAN REBELS
FIRE ACROSS LINE
Fifty Shots Exchanged With
United States Soldiers at
Ell Paso.

FL Paso, Aug. 3.-About so shots
were exchanged between United
States soldiers and unidentified men
from the Mexican side of the river
last night in East FL Paso. No one
was hit There were no arrests. Three
shots were first fired from the Mexi-
can side. Soldiers on guard on the
American side replied. Bullets then
came faster from the Mexican side
Several American houses were struck
by bullets. When firing ceased an in
vestigation failed to disclose any
trace of the men who fired from the
Mexican side. The opinion of some
residents is that the firing was done
by Mexican rebels to draw the atten-
ton of the American soldiers so that
a quantity of ammunition could be
smuggled across the river at another
point.
