SIR ROBERT HORNE
REFUSES TO HEAD
WAR DEBT MISSION
Resigns Because of Split
With British Cabinet on
Payments to U. S.

LONDON, July 30.-Because of 4
split with the British cabinet over
repaylng the American war debt,
Sir Robert Horne. chancellor of the
exchequer has decided not to go to
the United States as head of the
debt funding commission. Horne,
it is understood. was at odds with
the remainder of the cabinet over
the refunding policy. and his de-
cision not to go to the United
States is taken as an indication that
he was outvoted in the ministry.
Sir Robert had become impatient
at Americas implied insistence on
prompt payment of the loans at a
time when Great Britain was faced
with the demand for cancellation
of the interallied debt. As a chas-
tisement to the United States he
favored paying at once the largest
sums of gold that could be raised
by the British treasury. to teach
America a lesson in international
finance and force her to beg that
no more gold be sent across.
Horne shares the view of many
American economists that the
United States is already overstock ed
with gold and that further receipts
would so upset the international
financial balance as to seriously
embarrass Americas foreign trade.

Argentine Solons
Fight Duel After
Oil Field Debate
One Goes so Far as to
Forget Ethics and.In-
jure Opponent.

BUENOs AYREs. June so.-An
epidemic of duelling has started
among Argentine deputies. Five
duels have been fought in the last
forty-eight hours. and more may
develop as a result of Friday nights
debate in the Chamber of Deputies
on governmental administration of
the Argentine oil fields.
One combat was fought yesterday
with sabers and another was fought
today. Three sets Of seconds were
busy this afternoon arranging other
encounters. All combatants parti-
cipated in Fridays debate which
terminated in the early hours of
yesterday morning just in time to
avert a free-for-all. One of the re-
naming duels must be postponed
indefinitely because one of yester-
days duellists so far forgot the
ethics of duelling as to wound his
opponent.
1t Is a long time since there has
been similar outbreak in Argen-
tina.
one OF yesterdays uuellists al
ready has fought two others since
being a member of Congress, but
the record still Is held by a promi-
nent Argentine Socialist, who was
expelled from his party because of
the large number of duels he had
fought. His plea against his custer
from the party was that he never
even by chance had injured any op-
ponent.

PACT FOR TARIFF
VOTE In z WEEKS
Regard Wool Schedule as
Last One of Major
Importance.

With consideration of the wool
schedule nearly completed the Sem
ate is expected to make more rapid
progress in the tariff debate this
week. The Democrats regard the
wool schedule as the last one of
major importance and from now on
say they will offer oily a perfume
tory opposition to the various du-
ties. They profess willingness to
enter into an agreement for a final
vote on the bill on or about August
is.
II the Senate passes the tariff
bill at that time conferees of the
Senate and House will require until
about September Is before they are
able to present their conference re-
port. Another week or two will be
required to obtain the approval of
the conference report in the two
houses. If there is no hitch in this
program. which might easily be up
set by serious disagreements be-
tween Senate and House conferees,
Congress may be able to adjourn

Final adjournment of the. session
at an early date in October would
mean the sidetracking of ship sub

be possible to enact a soldiers
bonus bill into law during the
months period while the tariff is
in conference
As the situation now stands the
tariff bill will be ready to be sent
to conference about the time the

Is. Propriety of the activity of
Western Senators with large finan-
cial interests In the wool growing

An investigation of the financial
connections of Senators with the
wool growing industry as provided
by the resolution introduced Satur-
day by Senator Caraway, A rkansas,
has been brought forward in q
manner that will cause 1t to con-

constantly repeated that there Is

passage of a tariff bill at this

after terrific street fighting between
government forces and a handful of

used because sixteen lone survivors
Of the rebel forces held off 1000
troops for several hours, slew zoo

The trouble started in Recife
when the president of the Republic.

in Pernambuco, sent 5000 men into

The difficulty reached its climax
following the arrest on July of
Marschal Hermen de Fonseca by

Nevertheless, the president placed
Captain de Fonseca, a son Of the
Marschal, in command of Fort Cop

given him. Captain Fonseca, once
ensconsed, defied the government
and touched off the revolution.
Marines with guns were landed
