Washington, 'Aug. 1.—The Payne tariff bill was finally passed by the house at 9§ o'cloeck Saturday evening by a vote of 195 to 183. It was another triumph for the well trained regulars of the house organization over the “in- surgents” and the democrats. Irom 10 o'clock in the morning until 9 at night the parliamentary battle waged with- out cessation. The leaders on either side hurléd themselves with forensic fervor against the opposition, party Unes being obsCured in many instances. Senators of various views rushed into the chamber to advise their delega- tions, colleagues divided and “whips” struggled desperately, but in the end history repeated itself ‘and the final | vote yras announced amid the uproar- tous €elight of-the majority. Mjtion to Recommit Defeated. * Ag one time 4 change of three votes would have sent the bill back to con- ference. On the motion to recommit the vote was 186 to 191, and when 1t was announced the speaker and his lieutenants redoubled their efforts - to wbtain a comfortable majority on the final test. It was the thorough know ledge of the rules and the parliamen- tary strategy of Representative Payne that most contributed to the victory. When the debate had been exhausted and the hour for voting arrived, Rep- Zesentatives Mann and Fitzgerald plan- ned to offer a motion to recommit the bill to the conference with specific in- structions. They were forestalled, how- ever, by the chairman of the ways and means committee, who was recognized by the speaker and immediately moved to recommit the bill and demanded the previous question. The republicans, under his guidance, voted for this mo- tion, while the democrats opposed it. ‘When it had carried and the vote came | on the motion to recommit the report the republicans shifted and voted “no.” It was on this vote that the combined opposition forces made their strongest fight and came within_six votes of vic- tory., Had Representative Mann ob- tajned an opportunity to move to re- commit the bill he would probably ha béen supported by the full “insurgent” strength, which, If it had combined at any ome time,. would have been suffi- clent-to reject the report. The “Insurgent” Strength. On the motion to recommit the fol- | lowing republicans voted with the Gem- ocrats: Cary, Lenroot and Nelson of Wisconsin, Good, Haugen, Hubbard and Pickett of Towa, Gronna of North a- kota, Davis, Lindberg, Miller, Nye, Steenerson and Volstead of Minnesota, Madison and Murdock of Kansas, Mann of lilinols, Poindexter of Washington, Norris of Nebraska and Southwick of New York. Twenty republicans voted against the adoption of the report. They were Cary, Lenroot and Nelson of Wiscon- sin,” Davis, Lindberg, Miller, Nye, Steenerson, Stevens and Volstead of Minnesota, Gronna_of North Dakota, Haugen, Hubbard, Kendafl and Woods of Towa, Mann of Tilinois, Poindexter of Washington, Keifer of Ohlo, Southwick of New York and Murdocj Representatives Broussard and Es- topina of Louisiana, democrats, voted with the republicans. On the previous question to recommit the bill Repre- sentative Cooper of Wisconsin voted with the demorcats in addition to four- teen other “insurgents,” but they voted with the regulars on the other rolicalls, Payne Overwhelmed With Congratula- tions. On the announcement of tme finai vote Representative Payne was fairly overwhelmed with congratuiations. For more than ten minutes he stood near his seat and shook hands with almost every member of the majorny. rre had been a striking figure in the day's debate and although the fast five months have carried with them inces- sant work he bore the noisy attacks on the report with great patience, not once refusing to answer the frequently pointless questions of the democrats. A notable feature of the debate was | the fact that no speaker either repub- lican or democrat, failed to give the chairman of the ways and means com- mittee full credit for the immense amount of work he has performed, nor did they question his sificerity of pur- pose, his honest endeavor to comply with the promises of the platform or fail to compliment his indefatizable en- ergy. He opened the debate for the re- publicans after Representative Mondel] had insisted that the entire conference report be read. AVIATOR'S NARROW ESCAPE.

Baltimore, Md., Aug. 1—After bat- tling with a contrary wind for more than half an hour in an attempt to sail his airship from an amusement park on the porthern outskirts of the &ity to City hall Saturday, the aero- waut, Fred Owens, descended some- what abruptly with the craft when he almost reached his goal.

Milldale, Conn., Aug. l.—Following two revelver shots fired in rapid suc- cession here tonight, Ededio Tiverotti, 22 years old, was found lying in the road in front of the home of J. Fan- tana, unconscious, with a bullet wound in his left side. He was taken to the Meriden hospital, where his chances of recovery are slight. Giacomo Cao, who did the shooting, made his es- cape. Tiverotti had spent the evening at the Fantana home and left the house in time to take the last car to his home in West Cheshire, He had been gone from the house but a few min- utes when two shots were heard by members of the Fantana family. They ran out of the house in time to see Cao throw away a revolver and hear him say: “Me no shoot him; I shoot in air” ' Members of the Fantano family made a move to take Cao, but he drew a knife and drove them into the house and then ran down the road. After Cao’s escape the Fantano fam- ily brought Tiverotti into the house and sent for Dr. W. H. Cushing, who on his arrival made an examination, and found that a bullet had entered Tiverottl’s left side, taking a down- ward coufse, probably penetrating the intestines. 'An ambulance was sum- moned from Meriden and he was taken to the hospital In that place. The revolver which Cao was seen to throw away was picked up and two of the chambers were found to have been' discharged, which would account for the two shots heard. No weapons were found in Tiverotti’s possession. “ao is about thirty years old and lived on West Mountain, Southington, where he is employed. A deputy sher- iff and several constables are out searching for him. Both men are un- married and members of the Fantano family say they knew of no reason llnr Cao's wanting to take Tiverotti's life.

THAW’S FIGHT FOR FREEDOM Will Be Resumed Today—Not Lixely That Evelyn Be Rut on Stand Again. White Plains, N. Y., Aug. 1.—Harry K. Thaw's legal fight to prove him- self sane goes on again tomorrow be- fore. Justice Mills. ~ District 'Attorney Jerome of New York will begin the session probably with the presentation of more alienists’ testimony in support of the contention that the prisoner is not sane. It is unlikely that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, who has already testi- fied against her husband, will be put on the stand again by the state. Even if the present habeas corpus suit is dened, the Thaw case will not be set- tled. If he loses he may begin & fresh proceeding on a new writ. In making another petition he could say he did ot deny that he might have been in- sane at the time of the latest, decision, but that he had since become sane, This might go on under the present habeas corpus system in this country as long as the Thaw family cares to push it. White Plains, N. Y., Aug. 1L.—It was reported herc tonight that Charles Morschauser, Thaw's attorney, will call Mr. Jerome on the witness stand ‘before the hearing is comcluded. He will be asked to testify whether in his bellef Thaw snffered * delusions concerning Stanford Whits AUTO ACCIDENT AT ROCHESTER. A Lawyer, the Victim, Was a Novice at the Wheel and the Machine Overturaed. Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 1.—Frederick J. Smyth, aged 42 vears, a lawyer of this city, ‘was mortally wounded in an automobile accident today. He had started in a new machine with his wife, her sister, Mrs. A. B. Davis and three children 'to visit Mrs. Smyth's former home in Corfu. Going down what is known as Dumpling Hill, Mr. Smith, who was a novice at the wheel, apparently lost control and the ma- chine careened and_overturned. Mr. ~Smytl ribs were driven through his longs by the steering col- umn and his left arm was broken. . He died on the way to a hospital. Mrs. Smyth received a fractured collar bore, 2 scalp wound and broken mose. . Fred- erick Smyth, aged 5 has a fractured collar bone. The others were not seri- ously injured CATALONIAN INSURRECTION. leports from Frontier Say Revolt Is Still Rampant. Paris. Aug. 1.—Although officlal Spain minimizes the Catalonian insur- rection and insists that the revolt has beeen crushed a far different story emanates from the frontier. Refugees and travelers declare that the revoit is still rampani and_that desperate combats continue at Barcelona where fifty revolutionaries are reported to have been wounded in a conflict which occurred as late as Saturday night. Tnformation concerning the actual situation in Barcelona and the rest of the province is rarer tonight than ever hefore. Although some of the news from the interior is from revolu- tionary sources and thergfore open to suspicion, _more ~reliable intelligence leads to the belief that though Bar- celona is calmer the insurrectionists have taken to the suburbs and the out- Iving country where they are sowing the seeds of revolt and inflaming the populace to maintain the struggle to the bitter end. Barcelona province is in ithe hands of prowling bands of workmen, heavily armed, who occupy the railroads and highways to prevent communication and who refuse en- trance to newcomers. Cassandra La Selva is in the hands of revolutionaries. The opinion in semi-official circles here concerning Spain's internal situa- tion is pessimistic and the belief is expressed that the trouble is not vet over. Rumors of General Strike. Rumors are afloat that a general striké will be launched tomorrow at Madrid and that a strike is being or- ganized in the Biscayan region. Another official ‘statement says that the number of victims of the fighting at Barcelona_is unknown. but frontier reports one of them of alleged authori- tative inspira‘ion, declare that the killed or wounded will aggregate 3.000 and that the number of insurrectionists summarily shot was between forty and 120. ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS. Probability That Session Will End Be- fore End of Present Week. Washington, Aug. 1.—Unless some- thing happens to provoke heated dis- cussions of a political character, the new tariff bill should be enacted into law and the extraordinary session of congress adjourned before the end of the present week. Inquiry among sen- ators opposed to the adoption of the conference report on the Payne-Ald- rich bill indicates that the debate will not be as extended as it threatened to be before the conferees reported. The senate will meet at ten o'clock tomorrow. The session probably will begin at that hour each day and will continue until six or seven o'clock dai- Iy until the report is adopte is found that more senators speak than have already given notice it is possible that evening sessions may be held.

Paterson Bartender Refused to Serv: Him Liquor—Two Men Killed. 75 fradl Paterson, N, J., Aug. 1.—A blind ne- gro, angered by the bartender’s refusal to serve him more liquor, pulled out two _revelvers ‘yesterday and emptied them in a.crowded saloon, killing two men and seriously wounding a third. Willlam F. Sasson is the man under arrest on two charges of murder. In spite of Sasson's blgd&mhme police say he is the terror shore district, Uwhere e is known as “The Devil.”' Early yesterday, they say, he entered Henry Regemass' saloon ac- companied by two other negroes. All had been drinking heavily and when they ordered more the bartender told them they had had enmough. Sasson, witnesses say, shouted “We'll see if we can_have-drinks or not,” then backed to the door and drew & revolver in each hand. - From these he fired nine shots before the place was cleared. Robert Fergu- son, ‘one of the men who entered with Sasson, died fifteen minutes later with a ball in his side. Charles Hummel, white, died at the hospital from a shot in the abdomen.

Will Cost About $500,000. and 16,000 Guardsmen Will Participate. Boston, Aug. 1.—Not since the days of the Civil war has Massachuseits seen such a gathering of armed men as will participate in the “war game” of Aug. 14 to 21.. Defending Boston and endeavoring to stem the invasion of 9,000 men-of the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and District of Co- lumbia National guards, will be the 7,000 members: of the Massachusects militia, augmented by three troops of regular cavalry from the “Fighting Tenth,” the colored regiment at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont. _ The scene of the manoeuvres is ex- Dected to be confined to the southern counties of Bristol and Plymouth. The invaders are conceded the strategical ability to land their force: whence they will attempt to fight their y through the state, but the defenda- assembled in on on the after- noen of Saturday, Aug. 14, will be noti- fied promptly of the place or places of disemba scene. * The further manceuvres are problematical. - - The march of both armies will neces: sarily involve damage to ' property. Fences will have to be torn ‘down and gardens Invaded to make way for the broad line of soldiers. Behind each of the two bodies will be a special corps of “adjusters who will determine upon the amount of damage done and com- pensation the affected persons for their loss. Disputed claims will be 2djudi- cated at the conclusion of the manoeu- vres. A sum closely approaching $500,000 will be required to cover the cost of the game. About 16,000 men and offi- cers will be engaged. The troops en- gaged will receive pa-- ranging from $2 a day for enlisted men to $5 for officers of the line and $15 for those of the rank of brigadier gemeral. Salaries alone will cost Massachusetts $20,000 for her troops. This state will also bear the expense of the progress of the defending army to and from the mus- tering point. This is reckoned at $20,- 000, with another $20,000 for the com- missary department. GEORGETOWN'S FACULTY. But Few Changes Made in Offici the University.
