WILL ACCEPT VIEW OF PREsI-
DENT WILSON AND HOUSE AS
TO WOOL AND SUGAR.
RESERVE RIGHT MAKE CHANGES
Other Schedules In the Tariff Bill May
Be Amended as Senate Thinks Best.
Fight on Free Wool Has Become
Acute In Both Ends of Capitol

Washington, April 1.-THE Senate's
attitude toward President Wilson and
the new tariff bill became well de-
fined Thursday after another meeting
of the Democratic members Of the
Finance committee. Briefly the Sen
ate committee will agree to accept the
view of the President and the House
as to free wool and one cent sugar
with the free in three year attachment,
but it will exercise tis rights to amend
other schedules and provisions of the
bill as it thinks best The conference
with the President brought working
agreement under which both the ex-
ecutive and Senate leaders have yield
ed certain points. The Senate de-
mands do not propose to make any
general increase in the rates of the
tariff bill or to make the Senate liable
to the charge of having impeded the
efforts of the President and theHouse
toward tariff reform.
Changes will be made in many
schedules, however, work havin gbeen
started with a consideration of the
first schedule in the bill. Some of the
changes regarded as necessary by the
Senate leaders may be carried over
to the House and put in the bill in the
Democratic caucus still in progress
there.
The Senate leaders reserve the right
to make changes after the bill reaches
the Senate where they consider them
necessary to make the tariff revision
more equitable and scientific. The de-
cision to stand with the President up
on the wool and sugar tariff issues has
brought the various forces Of Demo
cratic control into practical unity, it is
claimed. Should the President and
House majority refuse to accept any
change in the sugar or wool schedule
it is expected the Senate committee
will lend it's support to the same pro
gram.
The fight against free wool, how
ever, has become more acute at botf
ends of the capitol and several State
delegations in the House are appeal
ing to Democratic Senators for sup
port for some duty.
Representative Whiteacre from th'
East Liverpool, o., district, pleade'
for retention of the present tariff ant

reports indicate the crest of the flood
is at Barfield Point 100 miles north of
Memphis, but the Wilson and Graves
Bayou crevass have relieved the pres

little further trouble is anticipated.
Officials agree that the gravest dan

pour into the Mississippi through the
st. Francis and Arkansas rivers. Work
is being rushed on levees south of He

There was a fall of 1.S feet in the

crevasses above and below Memphis
on the Arkansas side, at Graves Bayou

ALDRICH AFTER

 That Whereas, Since the discoy- cry of gold at Cape Nome in 1899, there has been produced and shipped to the United States from Nome, up- wards of seventy-two millions of dol lars og gold, inclusive of the sums sent out by mail. No record. of course, has been kept of the gold privately and personally taken cut, but the amount is undoubtedly large That dur ing the same period there has been shipped to the City of Nome upwards of ten million dollars worth of com modities; That the development of dredge mining on Seward Peninsula and the rapidly increasing volumes of uYsiness at Port Nome renders 1t aB'

 And Whereas, There is no safe an chorage for such vessels at said port, and because of the want of such an chorage, there has been a loss to our marine servce and to the people of Nome during the period aforesad, of upwards of nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars caused from marine disasters due to want of safe an chorage from storms;
