| Weather Forecast tion. VOLUME VI Telegraph lines from Cork were partially restored yesterday and mes- sages reaching Dublin indicated that the city was comparatively quiet. Some travelers arriving in Dublin from Cork said most of the people were strongly in sympathy with the provisional government but that they were overawed by Republican troops. The national forces are said to be in complete contro! of Limerick ex cept for a few insurgent snipers. Many business buildings were said to have been destroyed by fire which spread from the Strand and other bar- racks, ignited by the irregulars. Most of the insurgent soldiers apparently escaped. Reports reaching here through Free State channels charge the Republic ans with having looted the Limerick stores of practically everything val- ™~ unable. The loss is said to have amounted to several thousand pounds. Eamon De Valera is alleged to have been In the city for some time but left when the attack began, going to Re- publican headquarters at Clonmel. Word reached here early today that the national forces captured Cas- tlerea, county Roscommon, yesterday after shelling the local headquarters of the {rregulars, who surrendered. Heavy firing occurred early today when a party of men armed with les and machine guns attacked the Four Courts hotel, adjoining the ruins of the Four Goxrts building now held vy national army forces. The na- tional troops returned the fire and the attackers finally withdrew.

With both flanks of the Republican in- surgent army broken, through yesterday’s cap ture of Waterford and Limerick, the irregular troops today were reported to be retreating in the-direction of Cork. They are believed to number some thousands of soldiers, sufficient] y equipped with all arms except artillery, and they are expected.to give the national army forces coasiferable trouble in guerrilla tactics, but it is doubted if they will make a determined stand pefore reaching Cork. TARIFF GOES TO BAT WASHINGTON, July 22.—The senate came today to the inistration tariff bill—the wool schedule. While this schedule, officially designated No. 11, ‘was not expected to bring the storm) of opposition that cen- tered around the famous sch edule K of the Payne-Aldrich bill, it was to be the subject of sharp attack from both sides of the chamber. that the producers were receiving leas Opening debate, Chairman McCum-| than half of the 45 cents @ pound pro. ber of tl raw wool paragraph was so drawn as to guarantee the domestic wool pro- ducers a protection equivalent to 35 cents a pound on the scoured content and that the manufacturers had been allowed a compensatory duty equiva- |, lent to that amount or the same dif- ferential intended to have been given in the Payne-Aldrich law. The chairman asserted that actual- ly the differential under that law has been considerably greater as tho 11 cents a pound duty on wool in the grease provided in schedule K worked out 7.6 cents a pound because tmport-|! ers brought in wool that shrunk less than 66 2-3 per cent in the conversion from the grease to the scoured state. Senator McCumber asserted that the average of the duties in the pending bill on manufactured articles com- puted on an ad valorem basis was “considerably less" than under the Payne-Aldrich law. Skirted wool imported and used !n the manufacture of carpets would come in free, he continued, provision being made for a rebate of the duties provided none of the wool entered into the manufacture of clothing. Senator Jones, Democrat, New Mex- ico, charged that wool manufacturers had ‘deliberately deceived" congress and the people when the Payne-Ald- rich law was written by declaring a compensatoy duty of 33 cents a pound would be necessary under the 11 cents A pound rate on wool in the greane. He declared he knew that low shrink age wool would be brought in, giving them a great advantage, and that now they were again coming to con- gress and saying what compensatory duty they should receive, Senator Smoot of Utah replied that the committee in drafting the wool schedule had paid no attenton “to what the manufacturers had to say on the subject.” “The tariff commission spent $25,- 000 investigating this whole subject, not only through this country, but the whole world,” said Senator Smoot, “and we took the findings of the com- mission as the basis for the duties.” Senator Gooding of Idaho declared that the wool growers never had got- ten the full amount of the duty on raw wool, and never would become, he argued. Their only market, the manufacturers, would not allow it in the prices they paid. He complained | Brings Big Sum In Sale to News DETROIT, Mich., July 23.—Pur- chase of the Detroit Journal by the Detroit News was announced here. ‘The newspapers both in the afternoon field, are to be merged immediately, the Journal ceasing publication with its first edition today.

QUIETED Call for Troops Issued When Railroad Shop Is Attacked by Mob Cancelled To- day When Peace Is Established SHERIDAN, Wyo., July 22.—Peace and quiet reigned in Sheridan this morning following a disturbance staged yes- terday afternoon between an unorganized mob of striking shopmen and a hurriedly organized posse of citizens and deputies. In an attempt to capture and remove a man who had re- turned to work in the Burlington shops despite the fact that he was a member of the shopmen’s union, a strikers’ mob consisting of men, wom- en and children advanced upon the shops armed with clubs, knives, axes and pitchforks. e Guards on duty in the yards notified the sheriff's office of the appearance of the mob, and a posse was immed!- ately dispatched to the scene. Arriv- ing at almost the same time, the two parties fought for possession of the strikebreaker in question. He was finally placed in a machine and rushed from the scene of the confilct Incensed that their man was taken FIVE DEAD IN TRAIN WRECK SPRINGFIELD, Mc., July 22.—(By The Associated Press.)

The state executive could not be located, however, and the strikers finally con. sented to return to thelr homes provid- ing that the ‘‘scab" be banished from the shops, and that no more members ef the shopmen's union be allowed work. This morning found everything quiet and the request for troops has been cancelled by Sheriff Thomas. Unless another occurrence of that kind eap- pears, no need for state troops will be felt. Approximately 20 men are at work in the Sheridan shops, and there 1s little indication that they will be molested by the strikers. Yesterday's little outbreak marks the first violence in connection with the present railroad strike to be ex- perienced in Wyoming. No repetition is looked for in any part of the state.
