ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS From
Il Sheep Raising State Wage a Des-
( perate Battle Of Opposition.

Washington, April 10 Free raw
wool was voted Wednesday by the
Democratic caucus. This places the
tariff bill dictated by President VIII
son and Secretary Bryan out Of dan
ger Of material change by the house
Democrats. Underwood organized the
fight against duty on wool and won,
100 to AZ. IS & S III.
Free wool means a loss OF about
SIS, 100000 year in revenue. The
rs per cent. cut in sugar duties Will
result in loss Of $13,000,000. The
corporation tax is to be repealed and
the government will lose about $780,
100000 a year. From these three
changes in the existing law the total.
reductions in revenues will be about
sec, 900, 900. Underwood has estimated
the total reductions in revenue under
the new bill will be about $6S,000,000.
Only $4,000, 900 therefore is to result
from other cuts In the tariff sched;
ules. 81 f5s y Nc f$t IA
Representatives from the wool
growing states waged a desperate
fight for more than three hours to
have duty OF fifteen per cent. ad
valorem substituted for free wool.
This ad yalorem duty was in the Un-.
derwood bill before President Will
son and Bryan took hand in fash:
ioning the tariff legislation. The Dem
ocrats opposed to free wool commended
that this duty represented the care
full and mature consideration Of the
ways and means committee.
The amendments fora duty on wool
was offered by Martin Dies OF Texas,
but Ashbrook of Ohio led the fight Of
the anti-free wool men. Before the
session Of the caucus Ashboook met
his associates in conference and
agreed on plans for the fight. While
this meeting was in progress Under
wood was with President Wilson at
the Whine House assuring him Of rati-
fcation by the caucus Of the free
wool provision, b
Agreement was reached when the
contest started that vote should
be taken at six o'clock and that five
minutes should be allowed each
speaker. The debate was acrimoni-
GUS and but for the cooler heads
among the older members might have
resulted in q bolt from the caucus by
some Of the more anti-free wool men:

time In his reign the king escaped be-
ing the victim of an anarchist at
tempt against his life.
King Alfonso owes his escape to
his own courage, Quickness and
skilled horsemanship. Accompanied
by his staff, he was riding from the
Gale de Alcala returning from the
ceremony OF swearing in recruits
when a man sprang from the side
walk and seized the bride Of the
kings horse with one hand, pointing
a revolver with the other. 55&
The king realizing the situation,
with lightning rapidity dug his spurs
into his horse, which reared violently.
His quickness saved his life.

PlONTIFF SHOWS GAIN
LACK OF FEVER AND ABILITY TO
SLEEP. CAUSES HOPE.
Heart Action is Stimulated BY Hypo-
[ dermlc Injections - Constitution
Enables Him to Make the Fight. n

4 Rome, April 18.-The condition Of
the pope on Thursday gave some cause
for optimism. While his general con-
ditton remained practically stationary.
he had avoided the usual night fever,
and several times during the night he
dozed, obtaining more rest than for
several preceding nights. Z
1t is admitted, however, that the &C
ton of the heart is being sustained
by hourly hypodermic injections, and
it is evident that only his strong con-
stitution is enabling him to make such
strong fight. 5,3 Y, siSs
Il Another disappointing feature is the
fact that the bronchial affection is not
tending to resolution and the occasion
al paroxysms OF coughing are taxing
the strength Of the patient. 81
The condition of albuminura has
5reappeared, and to relieve the kidneys
hot baths have been ordered.
DR.. Andrea Amici paid q visit to the
Vatican and, according to his an
nouncement, found only q slight eleva-
ton In the Temperature and other con-
ditions satisfactory. $ ~ y d
Further Improvement in the pope's
condition was shown by the fact that
he was able to retain quantity OF
chicken jelly. He acknowled that
he was feeling the beneit OF the abso-
lutte rest imposed upon him and that
he felt more inclined to sleep natural
3ly than at any time since his illness.
The aggravation which occurred on
Tuesday evening In the condition OF
the pope reached IT'S climax shortly
before midnight that. night and then
gradually wore OF In the early morn;
/ ing hours OF Wednesday.
The lawyer Patriarca, who repre-
SCENTS the holy see, was summoned to
the Vatican. The same lawyer drew
up the last testament OF Pope Leo
XIII. and the inference is that he has
been asked to do the same for Pope
Plus x. The lawyer was summoned
after Professor Marchiafava had had

Sacramento, Cal, April 1.-THE
assembly on Tuesday afternoon By
the vote OF so to ,16 passed the anti
alien land bill, the object OF which IL
to make impossible the ownership OF
land in California by aliens or by
those who have not declared their
intention Of becoming citizens of the
United States. Four attempts were
made to amend the measure and all
were voted down. 5.5.
Washington, April 17.-Reports
current In Washington for several
days that the Japanese government
was not satisfied with the attitude Of
the United States toward: the Cali
foria alien land law controversy
were borne out when Viscount Chin
da, the japanese ambassador, took up
the issue with the president Tuesday.
Viscount Chinda's call at the
White house followed the receipt by:
him OF copies Of the proposed Califor-s
mia laws from Secretary OF State
Bryan. The text OF these laws was,
cabled to Japan and 1t is understood
that Viscount Shinda received new
Instructions that neither the laws nor
the purpose OF this government to
leave the California enactments toHa
test in the. courts were acceptable to
the mikado and II his government
These instructions resulted in a hur-
5ried appointment with the president.
1t Is pointed out here by officials
interested In the Japanese view that
II the United States Supreme court
should hold that the federal govern
ment has no right to interfere in the
affairs of the state Of California.
Japan would still be Obliged to hold
to the position taken by her ally
Great Britain, .on the question Of Pan
anna tolls. This position is that q
treaty enactment is paramount to .
municipal law. 4, 4 B s,sz;
Beyond this question the situation
is full Of dangerous possibilities. In
the opinion OF, the state department
experts the attitude Of Japan toward
the United States is to be expected
because Of the breaking up of the six
power concert in China largely
through the Vaccinations of Japan
and Russia.

$ik Action. *. Ed

Brussels, April 16.--As planned by
the Belgoan Socialist trade unions the
vast political strike began ct dawn
here Monday. The first workmen TO
take part in the movement were the
night shifts Of the mines and mills
throughout the country. They left
the various plants in charge of . few
caretakers, told OF by the Socialist
leaders to keep the property from
reteriorating. q. tG 81,
At least 100000 man laid down
their tools during the morning. There
were numerous exceptions to the
general walkout in many districts,
however. e. 4. $5 We =. u. s (.
The strike is complete in such
places as the mining districts, but is
scarcely discernable In some local
tiles. IS FL ". n /. ,..3
In Brussels itself the strike must be
looked for in order to be found. Prob
ably one-fourth Of the workmen en-
gagged in, the suburban 4 factories did
not report d for work. The Socialist
committee here estimated at II
O'Clock that 10000 men had struck In
the capital. 4. 81 \
At the great seaport OF Antwerp the
strike did not appear until late in the
day, and then only affected a part Of
the dock laborers. a-s4ss&ls
Unlike most strikers, this movement
is not for an increase in wages or a
betterment OF working conditions; 1t
is in protest against the refusal OF
the government to grant the workers
manhood suffrage. 3. II &,
Coal miners, railroad men, glass
workers, foundrymen, electricians and
dockmen had pledged themselves TO
obey the summons Of the Socialist
leaders to make the walkout effective.
