Senate Leaders in Both Par

ment
AFTER SENATE HAS
PASSED TARIFF
And the House the Currency
Measure-Senator
Lewis III

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE Senate de-
bated the wheat item of the tariff bill
through practically the entire day yes
terday, and the Democratic leaders were
yisibly disturbed by their failure to
make progress.
Accordingly, Democratic caucus has
been called for to-day, when plans to
expedite the bill viii be discussed and
the proposal viii be made that a recess
of Congress be taken until November !,
after the passage of the tariff bill in the
Senate and the currency bill in the
House.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis is
threatened with appendicitis and may
have to undergo an operation. His i'll
ness caused much apprehension in Sem
ate Democratic circles yesterday, mas
much as the Senate in all probability
will refuse to allow Congressman Henry
ID. Clayton to be seated from Alabama in
place of the late Senator Johnston, and
Senator Culberson is gravely i'll in a
Connecticut sanatorium.
Senator Lewis, though feeling i'll, went
to the Senate, arriving late.
The Democratic control of the tariff
situation is seriously threatened by his
condition.

He Promises Early Action
by Congress to Aid
Farmers
ADMITS FARMERS
ARE NEGLECTED
Will Be Next Legislation
Urged After Currency
Measure Passes

Washington, Aug. l4.--In an official
yesterday, President Wilson declared
himself in favor of a complete and a
favorable system of rural credits
The president explained that legisla
ton of this character was not attached
to the currency bill now under eonsid-
Grafton because there had not been time
TO work out perfect plan. He prom
ised. however, to endeavor to secure
early action for rural credits from Con-
gress.
After explaining at some length the
necessity for this legislation and the IN
yestigation which has been made by the
government commission recently re-
turned from Europe the president said;
There has been too little federal leg
islation framed to serve the farmer di-
reetly and with a deliberate adjustment
to his needs. We long ago fell into
the habit of assuming that the farmers
of America enjoyed such an immense
natural advantage over the farmers OF
the rest of the world, were so intelli-
gent and enterprising and so at ease
upon the incompatible soil of our great
continent, that they could feed the world
and prosper no matter what handicap
they carried We have not exaggerated
their capacity or their opportunity, but
we have neglected to analyze the burden
some disadvantages from which they
were suffering.
"0ne of the chief and most serious OF
the disadvantages is that the farmer
has not been able to secure the extended
bank accommodations he every year
stands in need Of, without paying the
most burdensome rates of interest and
saddling himself with mortgages and OBJ.
legations OF every kind under which he
fairly staggered II he could carry them
at all In other countries systems of
rural credits have been put into opera
ton which have not only relieved the
farmer but have put his enterprises upon
a footing of easy accomplishment. Our
farmers must have similar means afford
ed them. They must be furnished these
facilities before their enterprises fan-
guish not afterward.
"This is our next great task and duty. |
Not only is our government commits
sion about to report the best metaod, |
but the department of agriculture has |
undertaken a serious and systematic /
study OF the whole problem of rural
credits. The Congress and the exeeu-
tive, working together, viii certainly |
afford the needed machinery of relief |
and philosophy to the people of the
countryside and that very soon"

BRITISH PLEA FOR
EXPOSITION FAILS
Great Britain Adheres To Decision To
Ignore the Panama-Pacific Ex-
hibit,

London, Aug. l4.-Another assault or
the position taken up by the British gov
eminent in regard to the Panama Pa.
cifc exposition was made in the House
of Commons yesterday afternoon, but
failed to change the situation.
Col George Gibbs, a Unionist, and
John 0Connor, Nationalist, both urged
that the authorities OF the San Francis
co fair be induced to change their rules
in favor of the United Kingdom being
allowed to make a single collective ma
tional exhibit.
Francis Dyke Acland, parliamentary
under secretary for foreign affairs, re-
torted, however, that this was only one
of the reasons which made British par
ticipation inexpedient and, anyway, he
said, the regulation as to scattered ex-
hibits seemed to be a definite part of
the exhibitions rules.
Mr. O'Connor asked if this decision of
a free trade government was a proper
return TO make to tha United States for
the reduction of its tariff.
1.-THE American tariff has not been re-
duced,' was the only reply Mr.. Acland
made.

PENNSYLVANIA BREAKS RECORD.
Coal Output for 1912 Exceeds That of
Any Previous Year.

The output of bituminous coal In
Pennsylvania, according to E. W. Par
ker, of the United States geological sur
vey, who compiled the figures in CO.
operation with the state topographic and
geologic survey commission. established
new record in 1912, and exceeded the
previous year maximum of 1910 by H.
343 1894 short tons in quantity and by
$l6,34O,9s7 in value. A slump in the
iron and steel trade during 1911 resulted
in diminished output of COAL the eff
feet in Pennsylvania being exhibited
chiefly in the Connelsville coking dis
trict. Similarly, the revival in the IRON
and steel industry in 1912 is reflected
in an increased production of bitumn-
Gus coal in Pennsylvania, more than two
thirds of the total increase being in
Fayette and Westmoreland counties,
which constitute the Connellsville dis
trict. The production decreased from
150,52l 500 short tons valued at $751;
029,5 $40, in 1910, to l4456l ,257 tons, val
ued at Sl46,l54,952, in 1911, the smaller
production being accompanied by slight
decline in price. In 1912 prices were
somewhat improved and the production
increased to lB1 ,s65, ASS short tons, VAT
ued at Sl69,370,49 The gain in guam
tity in 1912 over 1911 was IL ,304, 23l
tons, or nearly IL per cent; the increase
in value was S23 ,2l5,5 45, or l. per cent.
Production increased generally through
out the state, Is out of % counties show
ing gains, but as previously stated, by
far the greatest increases were in the
two counties named. Fayette county
showed a gain of 5,756,405 tons and
Westmoreland a gain of CAST 1854 tons.
The combined production of these two
counties in 1912 was 62,956,l16 short
tons, which exceeded the entire produc-
tion of Illinois, the third coal producing
state, and was equal to "a per cent of
the production of West Virginia, which
ranks next to Pennsylvania as a coal
producer Washington county increased
its production ] 1901 ,355 tons, Allegheny
county gained 1908, 40 tons, Cambria
increased 656,502 tons, and SOM
erset county, 7l0,723 tons. Other changes
were relatively unimportant.
No less notable than the increase in
production in 1912 was the extension of
the use of mining machinery and the
larger tonnage of machine-won coal. In
1911 the quantity of coal mined by ma
chimes was 69,l3l,o23 short tons, or ATS
per cent of the total; in 1912 the guam
tity so mined was So la2,042 tons, or
sos per cent of the total. The num-
Der of machines in use in 1912 was GIG,
against 5,7l9 in 1911.

periments made by breeding DAN" the

cal garden, to Morgan mare, at the
Maryland experimental farm Of the de-
