E MAKE PROGRESS ON TARIFF BILL Conferees Accomplish Con- siderable Work. SILK SCHEDULE ADOPTED Agreement Reached Reduces Duties on Cheaper Grades, but Increases Rates on High Grades—Scrap Iron Made Dutiable at $1 a Ton, a Com- promise Between Senate Rate of $2.50 and House Rate of 50 Cents. ‘Washington, July 1/.—Better prog- ress was made by the tariff conferees than on any day since the conference was begun. The silk schedule in its entirety was adopted and the rate on scrap iron, which enters into the open hearth process of manufacturing steel, was fixed by corapromise at $1 a ton. As a result a large number of changes in the rates of steel products, and particularly the reductions on struc: tural steel, were alopted. The silk schedule is one of the more important revisions of the exist- ing law. It reduces dutfes on the cheaper grades of silk, but materially increases the rates on the high grades, which are classed as luxuries. The senate was victorious in the matter of fixing this schedule. The woolen schedule was taken up Bnd after a brief discussion, in which the house members made a deter mined effort to have the ‘rate on wool tops reduced, the whole subject was referred to a sub-committee. The sen- ate members of this committee are Messrs: Carter, Warren and Smoot, who represent wool states, but are Not Members of the Conference. House members are Messrs. Fordney of Michigan and McCall of Massachu- setts. The sub-committee will en- deavor to compromise the woolen schedule so as to provide for down- ward revision so far as this can be done without injury to the wool grow- ers. ¢ The decision to make scrap iron du- tiable at $1 a ton is only a tentative one, but it is likely this rate will be retained. ® That the conferees do not intend to change the rate later is indicated by the fact that they proceeded to fix the rates on a number of manufac- tures of steel, in which scrap iron is one of the component parts. The $1 rate on scrap iron is revision down- ward. The rate under the Dingley law is $4 a ton. The house made scrap Iron dutiable at 50 cents a ton and the senate advanced that figure to $2.50. After a long discussion the conferees agreed that $1 would be a fair rate. On structural steel the senate amendments were adopted. CLOSE RACE FOR PENNANT Clubs of American Association Well Bunched. Louisville, July 1,\—From the stand- point of eompetition the race for the American association 1909 pennant at this period is the most savage in pro- fessional baseball history. Between Milwaukee at the head and Kansas City at the foot of the league are but 64 points in percentage. The first six clubs are so bunched that the loss of & game or two would make the lead- ers second division members and those.in sixth place in the van. “An illustration of the closeness of the race is given by comparison with other leagues. In the National league there are 431 points between Pitts- burg and Boston, first and last; while between Pittsburg and Chicago, first and second, are 75 points, eleven more than separate the tail enders and the leaders in the “assoeiation.” Between the first and the last of the American league are a dreary waste of 334 points. CHICAGO MAN IS SELECTED Charles R. Crane to Be Minister to China. ‘Washington, July 1/—Charles R. Crane of Chicago, vice presideht of the Crane company, has heen chosen by President Taft to represent the United States as minister to China, succeeding W. W. Rockhill, who was taken from China to be ambassador to Russia.

Mr. Crane is young, wealthy, a man of the world, a scholar and an exten- sive traveler. He is one of the fore- most American authorities on the poli- tics and business of the Far East and in addition his knowledge of Russia, whose policies have embraced North- ern China and are still to be reckoned with despite the late war with Japan, is profound.

The animal is estimated to weigh three tons. GIGANTIC 'PHONE COMBINE New Corporation Has a Capitalization of $970,000.000. New York, July 1/.—The merging of all the Bell telephone companies of the country into a gigantic corpora- tlon, representing a eapitalization of $970,000,000, -is believed to be fore- shadowed in’the action taken by the American Telephone and Telegraph company in providing for the absorp- tion of the stock of the New York and New Jersey Telephone company. ,_Although no offcial ststement could be “obtaffied if fs believed that the New York and New Jersey Telephone company will accept the offer of the American Telephone and Telegraph company to exchange its stocks share for share.
