TARIFF BILL READY.
Continued from Page One)

The meeting Of the Democrats on
the Senate finance committee did not
result in a discussion of parucuias
schedules, but If general policy. IL
vas plain, however, that the threat
ened trouble over the prospect OF free
sugar and free wool was a source OF
embarrassment. Leaders VINO WISH
ed to see the bill as it stands recelVe't
the committees endorsement and tina
of the caucus We're not certain nov
much strength the senators opposed
to these two schedules might be aoie
to muster There was less of the con-
fidence that characterized former
meetings and efforts to obtain more
accurate showing of how the forces
are toline up will be continued.
There has been some dlssatlsiae-
ton over the fact that senators nave
had but little to do with framing d
bin designed as a party measure. 10

committee got their first explanauo
of it from Chairman Underwood WIZ

hour and a half. Some OF them are
said to feel some hesitancy about TAX
ing immediate action approving the
bill without fuller investigations II
was suggested that although the
measure is to be known as party
and administration bill its passage by
caucus agreement and by use o.
pressure may lead to trouble WITHIN
the party later if the states which are
now protesting against certain sched-
ules should be joined by still others.

ever, to reservations which practical
~ repudiate the proposed terms
The proposition of the Powers laid
down a fixed frontier for Turkey in
Europe, and left the delimitation OF
the proposed Albania in the hands OF
the Powers, and the Powers were t.

also the Powers denied any claim for
a war indemnity
The reply of the Balkan Allies is
contained in the following counter

the line indicated in the conditions
formulated by the Powers shall be
taken as a basis and not as definite

Incident Of sn old Time English Par.
 llamsntary' Contest.
 Tn the days before the institution of the secret ballot when the candidate with the longest purse usually won an election, a former Lord Dundonald, who refused to give bribes, contested Honiton, but was beaten by an oppo- nent who paid his electors at the rate of f5 a vote.
 Then the unsuccessful candidate conceived this brilliant plan, says the writer of a history of the Dundonald family. He announced to his friends that he was quite determined to win the seat next time without bribery. Then be sent the town crier round the town to announce that an who had voted for him in this first election might repair Co his agent, from whom they would receive fl0.
 As comparatively few people had voted for him, this was not a very eN- penSIve process. And at the next cleo ton Lord Dundonald was elected by an enormous majority, After the tri- umph several people came to him and deliCately suggested that some reward was due tO such loyalty.
 "Not a farthlng" was the reply.
 But, my lord, you gave flo a head to the minority at the last election, and the majority have been counting on something handsome on this occasion"
