THEY WANT new TARIFF IDEAS
HOUSE COMMITTEE WOULD LIKE
SUGGESTION FROM PUBLIC.
Ways and Means Committee to Open
Doors for Discussion Of Rates
No Program Yet.

Washington.-The first stage In the
program for downward revision of the
tariff, promised by the Democratic
party, will be entered upon when the
house of representatives, through its
committee on ways and means, will
open the doors to the American pub
lie for the discussion of tariff rates,
protection to industries and conces-
sions to the ultimate consumer"
The work will be preparatory to the
first change of tariff duties since 1909,
when the Payne-Aldrich Law was en-
acted by a Republican Congress and
approved by a Republican president.
Fortified by the election of a Demo
cratic president and congress, the
adoption of a tariff reduction plank
at the Baltimore convention and the
announcement of President-elect Will
son that tariff revision is to be the
first big achievement of the new adj
ministration, Democratic leaders will
open the hearings confident that they
will lead to an early change in many,
il not ALL of the schedules Of the
existing tariff law.
The method of the approaching re-
vision, and the extent of the changes
to be made in the present duties, are
points not settled by the Democratic
leaders in congress and president
elect Wilson
1t is known that reduced duties on
chemical, metal, cotton and wooden
goods will follow closely the standard
fixed by the bills which have passed
the Democratic house in the last two
years, none of which has become law.
The facts to be brought out at the
public hearings this month and the
conferences to follow between Pres
ident Wilson and the house and SEN
ate leaders may, however, result in
important notifications of the big re-
auctions the house has put into some
OF the bills of the last two years.

TREATY WITH RUSSIA EXPIRES
Commerce Between That Country and
the United States Placed In Po-
sition Of Uncertainty.

Washington, D. C.-Through the ex.
piration of the Russian treaty of 1892
the commerce between that country
and the United States, estimated at

to jeopardy.
No formal or informal understand
ing between the two governments
looking toward the continuance and
regulation Of this international trade,
has been made since the treaty abro.
cation by President Taft, and it is
learned that the whole matter will be
left for the action of the incoming
Wilson administration.

under a volley OF lefts to his battered
face and when Referee Charles Eyton
walked between the men and hoisted
the right hand of the smiling cowboy
pugilist the decision was received
with cheers.

Picturesque Costumes No Longer Worn in Capital

I INTEREST in the personnel of the
diplomatic corps is revived as the
autumn advances and diplomats re-
turn from their summer outings. The
lamentable thing for sightseers is that
the legations are becoming so thor
Sughly AmeTicaniZed that there is no
novelty now in their appearance on
Washington avenues. In former days
the Turks, Persians, Siamese and even
the Japanese kept to their native cos
tune and made a most notable attrac-
ton in social affairs; now, however,
they appear like everyone else in
evening hats and frock coats, while
their ladies wear exquisite Paris ere
ations." AS one western visitor re-
marked, about all that is left of the
national costumes is the Turkish am
bassador's fez-which is nothing ex-
traordinary now that the American
Shriner is often seen wearing 1t when
remaining over after a convocation.
Formal social invitations from the
lady of the White House will soon be
forthcoming. They are embossed in
Gothic type and delivered by messen-
ger and tradition has it that they are

gagements do not count-but this is

only tradition. At the Turkish en-
bassy the command" cannot be obey
ed, for religion forbids the Turkish
women to. appear in public. The eI-
ception comes when a member Of the
legation, as for instance, Ali Kuli
Khan, the secretary OF the Turkish
embassy, chances to have as his wife
an American woman.
1t is interesting to witness the In
formality OF ambassadors as they
chance to- meet. After the summer a
little group of diplomats were over
heard discussing the delights and
pleasures as well as the discomforts
OF the various American summer re-
sorts. The coming season promises to
be a lively one in Washington. and
the diplomatic corps will take part in
the merriment.-Nationa Magazine.

John Adams, who came into the
White House before il was quite fin

rainy morning when the market was
chill and damp he took the cold which
resulted in his death.
