Chinese Gordon" Of North China,
Col A. A. s. Barnes, for the past Is

Colonel Barnes. whose command Of
the famous Weheiwai regiment was
marked by series of stirring engage
ments. and whose service rendered In
the Boxer trouble have gone down
into history as one of the notable
events In the Orient, is attached to
the crack Wiltshire regiment, sta
toned In Great Britain. He has been
ordered home to assume, charge of
that Organization. 1t was with much

following of people from military and
civil walks or life accompanied the
popular commander on the 16-mile
journey down the Wangpoa from
Shanghai to Woosung, where the Nile
lay at anchor.
In the opinion of Colonel Barnes
the Chinese possess all the qualifca-
tions for making good soldiers. This
has been readily demonstrated In re-
cent engagements in which they have
participated during the late rebellion.
1t has been pointed out that the great
need today in China Is for men quail
fed to serve as leaders in the forma-
ton and guidance of military organi-
zations.
Colonel Barnes has had much expe-
rience in the. handling of young Chi
nese. They figured conspicuously in
the several regiments sent to the
front In the rebellion. Equipped with
modern arms, and drilled according to
modern manual, the organizations, he
maintains, would be prepared to offer
q strong resistance.
Colonel Barnes is accompanied by
Mrs. Barnes, who is a social favorite
in diplomatic and military circles at
Peking and Shanghai. Colonel Barnes
through his extensive acquaintance in
the East speaks the Chinese dialects
fiuently. The prediction is made that
the officer will be again ordered to the
foreign service before my months.

WHEAT AND CATTLE
ON THE FREE LIST

Washington, June 3.-"Wheat and

was the announcement by Simmons,
chairman Of the senate finance COM
mittee following a conference with
President Wilson during which Sim
mons was informed that downward
revision of the tariff meant a revis-
ion downward.
The announcement showed the
presidents little regulator is doing just
as effective work as the big stick
previously"
Meats and flour are to be taken
from the free list" was the announce
ment spread far and wide today on
the authority Of the subcommittee of
the senate. This was done, it was
said. because wheat and cattle were to
be taxed ten per cent The idea was
to equalize and thus avoid criticism.
but when the president was informed
of the situation. he evolved a new
idea. Instead of putting a ten per
cent tariff on meats, flour. wheat
and cattle to bring all in pariety

Washington, June 3.-Senator Nc
Lean of Connecticut, was the first
witness in the "insid;ous lobby hear
ing today. He admitted he was in
terested in the General Electric COM
pany but denied he ever represented
anyone in the tariff bill activities. He
gave a list of men who conferred with
him regarding the Underwood meas
ure but said they had not attempted
TO influence him improperly.
Senator Dillingham; teBtified that
the only bill he ever was personally
interested in, was increasing the sal
aries of senators. He gave a long
list of persons who had written him
about the tariff question but said
none had proposed anything improp-
er.
Dillingham; said he had seen wide
spread sugar advertisements but had
not heard of any money being used
otherwise in the sugar mems cam
paign. He declared the greatest pres
sure ever exerted on him since he was
elected to congress seemed to be that
emanating from some source opposed
to the owen bill calling for a public
health service He said a similar
campaign was waged against the Dill

thought the Round Robin system

upon yesterday by the subcommittee

vely and Gore. 1t was decided in
carrying out the determination to
perfect the Underwood bill by equal

ad valorem. and the Underwood duty
on oats was reduced from 10 cents
ne~ bushel to six cents per bushel

Underwood duty of 10 cents a bushel
on wheat will stand. These recon-
mendations will be made to the fl
nance committee late this week or
