Eirst Senate Reading Completed -
End Seems In Sight.

Washington, Aug. 30.-The senate
heaved sigh Of relief tonight when
just before adjournment, it completed
the first reading Of the new tariff bill
Although many of the most important
new features of the measure remain
to be settled, senate leaders agreed
that the disposal of the first readink
Of the bill had brought the passage
Of the measure within view and that
another week may witness its compile
ton and passage.
The rates Of the new income tax, the
proposed tax on cotton futures; many
provisions of the administrative fea-
lures of the law; the suggested tax re-
bate of per cent for imports brought
in American ships, and many other
sections Of the measure that will oc-
casiOn debate were put over without
action and will be taken up again next
week.
Senator Norris announced that be-
fore the bill was completed he would
propose an amendment directed at the
Brazilian coffee monopoly, giving the
President authority to levy rs per
cent duty on product controlled
through monopoly or conspiracy in
another country.
Democratic members of the finance
committee met again tonight and
may continue their sessions tomorrow
to go over the sections laid aside by
the senate in its several weeks Of
work on the bill.
1t was expected tonight that the
Democratic senators would be called
into a party conference Monday or
Tuesday to readjust all differences
over the bill, including the question

American futures markets closed from

and with the governments September

unnatural, and bullishly disposed
traders claimed that fresh buying for

extent by the approaching holidays.
Offerings were we'll enough taken by

market a steady undertone at a de-
cline of is to Is points from the clos

There was little or no change III

er advices indicated less immediate
prospect for showers in the Southwest
than yesterday. and while the fore.
cast was for cooler weather. tempera-
lures were high again today. Fur.

ticn were received from the Southwest
and from some points in the Eastern
belt also. while private condition re-
ports were about in line with recent
figures.
Private reports so far issued have
pointed to crop deterioration OF

BLOODY RIOT IN DUBLIN.
Tramway Strike Causes Fierce
Street Fighting.


Dublin, Aug 31.--Fierce rioting in
connection with the tramway strike
was renewed today. Hundreds Of
persons. including 80 cOnstables, were
injured. On Saturday go or more
persons were injured. All the hos
pitals are so crowded that many seri-
Gus cases had to be sent to their
homes for treatment.
The strike committee, in the in e.
terest Of peace, had rescinded early III
the morning the call for mass meet
ing O'Cornell street and had sub
stituted a parade from Beresford
place to Croydon park. at Fairview.
q suburb on the north side of the
city. The authorities meanwhile had
prohibited the mass meeting.
Croydon park beloi gs to ,he Trans
port Workers unicn and a meeting
was held there without disorder. But
on the return march attempts of the
police by baton charges to disperse
the constantly growing crowds led
to rioting. The mob was further in
censed by the arrest of one of the
strike leaders, James Larkin, against
whom a warrant had been out for "a
hours.
The rioting became general in va
rious parts Of the city. The police
charged repeatedly with their sticks
and this led to pitched battles. Stones,
brickbats and bottles were hurled by
the infuriated rioters, and the streets
We're soon covered with PROSTATE
forms. More than so arrests were
made.
The train service is completely
suspended. Including Saturdays VIC
Tins 1t Is believed the number of in
jured will reach nearly 400.
The lord mayor announced his in
tention of demanding a public in
quiry into the conduct of the police
during the strike riot, and will send
law officers of the corporation to at
tend the inquests over the two men
who have died from their injuries.

BRADSTREETS TRADE REVIEW
western Advices Indicate Conserya.
tive Buying.

New York, Aug. 23.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow Will say:
I'm some respects trade reports
suggest somewhat more Regularity.
western advices indicate conservative
buying, presumably Il reflex of re-
ports OF reduced crop yields, but at
the same time they proclaim that
trade Is equal to or in excess OF that
done at this time last year when op-
erations certainly were growing. On
the other hand the more important
Eastern markets. particularly those
having to do with textiles, display
more vim, house trade has enlarged
and mills, instead OF making conces-
sions, are insisting upon higher prices.
"Incidentally there are few dis
senting notes as to the outlook for
fall trade and advices as to low stocks
are wollngh unanimous; but as be-
fore stated. conservatism is likely TO
be practiced In sections where crops
fall short of earlier expectations
