Will Consider Tariff Bills

WASHINGTON, May 15.-All of the
tariff bills that have passed the house
will be disposed OF by the senate be-
fore the end of this session and pos
sibly without interfering with plans
for early adjournment, according to
Senator Simmons. in charge of these
measures in the senate. The senator
said the chemical bill would follow
the metal bill and after that would
come the wool bill. He thought the
debate on these measures would not
be so extended as that on the metal
bill.
The general understanding is that
the progressive republicans will die
tate the tariff course OF the senate.
The democrats are expected to go on
record for their ownibills and then &C.
cept the progressive republican mea-
sures with such notifications as they
can secure.

Would Abandon Montana Forts.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-In report
sent to congress yesterday the secre'
tary of war lists Fort Missoula and
William Henry Harrison rs among
those soon to be abandoned. The re-
port purports to give the approximate
value OF these posts and estimates as
to the amounts they would bring If
sold. The land at Fort Missoula was
variously appr aised at prices ranging
from $23. 800 which would be a clear
profit to the government, a. the fort
was established on public lands. The
government has spent S462.046 on
building and s76,028 on the water sup-
ply at this post, total expenditures to
date being s593, ,914.
Fort Harrison also was built partly
on government land. which today Is
valued at from s28. .290 to s76, 766 at
this post.
These buildings are valued at S174,
427 and the whole post s246, 727. The
secretary's report does not say when
these posts are to be abandoned, but
indicates that they will go in the near
future unless congress interferes.

Western Stockmen Protest.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Western
members are already receiving letters
from their constituents protesting
against the Nelson resolution which
proposes to Investigate the govern
ment inspection of meats. The con-
tinuation of such an investiR alton
must mean serious loss to the live.
stock industry of the range states. and
the burden of the many letters now
arriving from the west Is to the effect
that such an invetig alton, following
disastrous losses of last winter, must
work serious hardship on the industry
by reason of resulting lower prices
for livestock from the range states.
"If this investig gation is carried on
and witnesses summoned to testify
writes a prominent memb of one OF
the big western livestock associations
to member OF congress, 'the stock
raiser must pay the price; it will mean
loss of hundreds of thousands oi
dollars to the range stock interests
and fall hard on US after the heavy
losses of last winter. If every steer
with the MARBLES and every sheep with
the sniftles is to be condemned as un.
fit for food, as these Investigate
seem to want done, the loss must fall
directly upon the men who raise such
stock"

cultural department postponed indef

Lorimer Will Retain Seat

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The case of
Senator Lorimer OF Illinois, whose
election was alleged to have been
brought about through corruption,
was placed before the senate today for
final action. Majority and minority
reports were made by the special in
vestig ating committee, the former up
holding, the latter condemning the seu-
ator. The majority report that there
was absolutely no new substantial evil
dence discovered on the re-investiga-
tion, his election being ''the logical re-
suit of existing political conditions in
Illinois,"
The minority report that the second
investig alton conclusively established
that at least ten of the votes cast for
Lorimer were corrupt, and that his
election therefore was inval

WASHINGTON, May l8.-With more
than two-thirds of the delegates to the
national democra attic convention elect
ed, control OF the Baltimore gathering

several weeks ago. Claims made to-
day by the managers of the different

"The num- Der of delega ates necess ary
to uomin ate is $50. OF the delega ates
already elected, without counting the
contested delegates have more than
500. or the deleg ates yet to be elected

Colonel Roosevelt referred to sew

would receive more votes than are In

did not take into consideration the
chances of obtaining deleg ations from
Ohio or New York. In speaking a

"Of uncontested deleg ates that have
