Manchester Port ut Standstiu.

London, Sept. 19.-The strike sit
uation in London was improved to-
night. Bus men who already had not
gone out agreed to q truce pending
arbitration by the Board Of Trade Of
their demands on the employers.
The motormen and conductors of
the Tilling Omnibus company will re-
main idle meanwhile, which will keep
500 busses off the streets. Two of the
motor bus companies which have
agreed to recognize the mems unions
Will continue to operate their vehicles
even II arbitration fails.
The danger of q railway strike is
not over yet. Liverpool strikers have
accepted the offer Of the managers to
reinstate men who are willing to ham
die traffic which, under the law, the
companies must accept, but they made
their acceptance conditional upon the
acquiescence OF the men in Birming-
ham and other strike centres.
Birmingham labor leaders still are
attempting to force general strike.
The strike has extended to Sheffield
Crewe, Berry and other places. Dub
lin was quiet tonight but the number
of strikers has increased. The police
adopted unusual measures to handle
the parade which strike leaders had
planned for tonight. A heavy rain
storm, however, broke up the parade.
At Manchester the trade of the port
is paralyzed. Five thousand dockmen
are on strike and the port is closed to
boats.
Not q single mOtOrman or conductor
employed by the Tilling Ornni us
company. whose action in refusing to
recognize the union is likely to bring
about general strike Of TRANSPORT
workers in London, went to work to-
day.
Many OF the motor omnibus lines
from the south to the north of Lon
don were entirely suspended, causing
great inconvenience. A few of the old
horse omnibuses were put on the
streets for the first time in several
years.
There was no disturbance in the
vicinity Of the motor omnibus sheds.
although the strikers gathered there
in groups, waiting for their comrades

join them at midnight tonight.

DOG BITES CHILDREN.
Little Rogers Harrell is BrOught Ia
Columbia for Examination. y

Lamar. Sept. 1S.--Little Rogers
Harrell, a son Of Mrs. Rosa Lee Har-
rell living near Lamar, was bitten by
a mad dog several days ago. A little
negro child on Mrs. Harrells place
was also bitten. DR.. r. G. Stith went
with the little Harrell boy to Column
bia, carrying the dogs head with him
for examination. The dog was pro-
nounced as having had rabies. DR..
Stith arranged for treatment of the
two children and will administer the
Pasteur treatment here.
Yesterday the 5-year-old son of
Mollie Dukes, a negress, was burned
to death. 1t seems that the woman
stepped out to the road to talk with
others, leaving the child alone in the
kitchen. Hearing the child scream
ing. she ran into the house and in the
short time required for her to reach
the kitchen, every thread of clothing
was burned from the boys person and
he was unconscious. He died IN several
hours after physician had been sum-
moned. The only way the accident
can be accounted for is that the child
was playing in the fire in the kitchen
stove as the door to the stove was
found open by the woman.

NO HOPE FOR AGREEMENT.
TARIFF BILL AGREEMENTS WILL
NOT BE COMPLETED IN
WEEK.
Eighteen Sections Are Still to Re
Disposed Of-Call for Wilson's
Aid.

Washington. Sept. 19.--Hope of
reaching a complete agreement on the
tariff bill this week went glimmering
today when the house and senate con-
ferees adjourned until tomorrow, with
about IS sections still in disagreement.
Half a dozen Of these have produced
deadlocks. with all sides appealing to
President Wilson for assistance.
The house receded from it's demand
for free ferro manganese and the SEN
ate compromised on the house rates
on angora wool and mohair. which
had been free listed. Disputes over
works of art, fur and leather were
disposed Of. Works of art were put
In the free list. furs, dressed and
undressed, were free listed. the house
receding from its demand for duties
ranging from 10 to 40 per cent
Leather was free listed. with the ex-
ception of 10 per cent duty on enam-
eled upholstery leather.
Experts told Senator Simmons that
as drawn and agreed to. the tariff bill
will produce an income that should
give the government a surplus Of
$16,000,000 In a normal year.
Two important steps toward COM
pleting the bill were made today when
the Democratic conferees decided to
retain moderate duty on angora
goat hair and mohair and 1t was
agreed to free list ferro manganese
ore.
The senate gave way today in It's
demand for specific rates in the silk
schedule. levying a definite duty on
each pound Of imported silk prod
ucts. The ad valorem plan proposed
by the house was adopted with slight
rsduc tions on certain articles.

ACTION EXPECTED IN SENATE,
Senator Owen, Head of Banking
Committee, Thinks Bill Will be
Completed by October 9Th.

Washington. Sept. 19.--Fresh from
Its triumphant passage in the house,
the entrance of the administration
currency bill in the senate was sig
nalized by a statement from Chair
man Owen of the banking committee
that he expected the measure out Of
committee on the senate floor for ac-
tion by October 6.
President Wilson's conference last
night with Senator Reed one OF the
committee Democrats who has criti-
cised many provisions of the bill ad-
versely, will be followed. it Is ex-
pected, by individual conferences with
other Democrats who have shown op-
position to the measure or criticised
its vital features. With the aid of
Secretary McAddo the president will
endeavor to overcome some of their
arguments and bring the senate COM
mittee to the support Of the bill.
Should Senator Hitchcock continue
opposition to immediate currency Leg
islation his aid would enable the Re-
publicans to prevent, by O tie vote, any
affirmative action or reporting the bill
at once to the senate.
Public hearings were resumed today
with Andrew j. Frame. g. banker of
Waukesha, Wis, as a witness.
The big Democratic majority in the
house will be. kept in Washington as
moral influence over the slender Dem
ocratic control In the senate while the
currency bill is under way. according
to plans made today ty house leaders,
who definitely rejected. for the present
at least. the idea of 60 day recess.
After a conference with President
Wilson. Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer. chairman Of the house caucus
declared no effort would be made for
an extended recess for the house. 1t
Is understood the president believes
the presence of the house would have
the effect OF Strengthening the ad-
ministration's effort to pass the cur
rency bill in the senate.

Would Corner" Potato Crop.

farmers Of this vicinity have already
sold them their entire crop. AZ : re-
suit Of the apparent ''oornsr, !" the
price Of tubers has alresdy advanced
from 40 to so cents per bushel whole
sale and it's not g oil impossible
that during the coming winter the con.
sumer will be compelled 70 pay Is
high as 81 90 per bushel for every
potato that he buys.
Fortunately quite . number OF our
citizens have learned of the intentions
OF the produce firm referred TO and
are buying their winters supply of
tubers direct from the farmers, paying
them the same prices that they receive
from the wholesalers, and in this
manner are avoiding the high prices
that potatoes will demand during the
cold weather months and until next
fall.
It is reported that in some of the
principal potato states the crop has
been practically total failure this
fall, owing to certain disease With
which the tubers became afflicted, and

he exhorbitsnt prices may be looked
'or from abroad.
