WASHINGTON, April 2.—The firet read- Ing of the tariff bill for consideration of committee amendments was concluded when the senate adjourned today. According to announcement made when the reading was begun that every paragraph of the entire bill will be subject to amendment when it s taken up for final consideration each paragraph next oMnday. While the whole measure is thus subject to furth revision, all concede that substantial pro ross has been made. There will be no re- fturn to many of the schedules. There was comparatively little debate on the measure today, as Senator Aldrich postponed replylng to many questions asked of him n order to hasten the conclusion of the reading of the meamsure, saying he would make full explanations when the varlous amendments received final con- siderations. Many provisions, including the Wwood pulp and wool schedules, weré today passed over oh specific objection. The reading of the tariff bill being re- sumed In the senate today, numerous re- uests were made by both republicans and mocrats for the passing over of varlous bchedules, although an agreement had pre- viously been made that such action was not necessary in order to permit a senator to enter and obtain & vote on any amend- fment. Nearly every sénator was in his place and followed the reading of the bill wth nterest. The suggestions of varlous senators in- dicated that more than half of the rates under the wood, sugar and molasses, to- baceo and agricultural and other schedules would come In for criticism at a later date. Senator McLaurin of Mississippl, request- ing that varfous schedules under the head ©of agriculture be passed over, Senator Ald- rich ssked whether he did not wish to make & similar request in respect to rice, the duty on which the finance committee had allowed to stand at 2 cents per pound @s passed by the house. Mr. McLaurin sald he had not referred to that paragraph because ne change had ‘been made in it, ‘80, he added, “there is nothing at which the gentlemen can allow his risibles to rise “There is nothing under the agricultural schedules that is so high as the duty on rice," muggested Mr. Aldrich. “Still, we might. amend the sald Mr. McCumber, smiling. “Let It be passed,” Interposed Senator Gallinger, with & significant glance toward the democratte side. Specific Duty on Pearls. Notice that the committee would bring Into the senate an amendment making dutles on pearls, diamonds and other prec- fous stones specific lustead of ad valorem was given by Mr. Aldrich today. Replying to Mr. Bacon, Mr. Aldrich said the rates of duty on these articles were as high as had been found practicable for the collection of any revenue, Mr. Bacon suggested that a very high duty would probably encourage some smuggling, to which Mr. Aldrich modded assent. ‘When the schedule relating to wood pulp, print paper and books wi reached, Mr. Aldrich said the committes hoped in a very few days to report an amendment for the wood pulp provision of the bill, Messre. Clapp, Bristow, Nelson and Piles called attention to the possible cffect of the house paragraph in preventing any free importation of wood pulp from the Domin- fon of Canada, because an export duty might be imposed by a single province of the Dominion. Mr. Aldrich explained that this was one of the matters under consideration by the committee on finance. “f am sure sald Mr, Alrich, “that we on o Limit Size of Hats Illinois Legislator Would Also Pro- hibit Wearing of Birds, Snakes and Lizards on Headgear.

SEEKS DUTY UPON CATTLE MORNING, APRIL 24, Brown of Nebraska Takes Position New Measnre Will Eventually Prove Satisfactory—Needed Protection Given. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, April 2.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Another Richmond has appeared upon the taritf field in the person of Sen- ator Jonathan P. Dolliver, and this Rich- mond promises to give Mr. Aldrich and those assoclated with him a fight the senior senator from Rhode Island will remember for years. There are a dozen Richmonds in the field, but Dolliver is the last to take up the cudgel for revision downward of the tariff. Yesterday it was “woolen and cotton schedules, which he attacked and which hie asked to have passed over. Today the senior senator from Iowa protested against cattle and sheep, which had been sent into Mexico as calves and lambs and after a year's feeding had them brought in free of duty. He said the cattle people of the western country were beset with disad- vantages and the decision of the Treasury department that young animals may be taken into a forelgn country and brought back Into the states without paying duty, worked a hardship upon natlve producers and he proposed to have this paragraph under the free list corrected If possible. Getting Into Linme. Senator Dolliver may not be actuated by the broadest statesmanship in his attacks upon very material paragraphs in the tar- Iff bill, but the fact remains that Towa is a revision downward state, and Mr. Dol- liver will be a candidate for re-election. Senator Cummins has shot his arrow for the income tax, and In order that the senfor senator may hold some one of the board Dolliver has taken it upon himself to cri icise many of the schedules under the Ald- rich-Payne bill, and in this particular he will probably be in the public eye until the senate bill passes that body and goes to conference. It Js rumored that Mr. Dolliver has re- tained_a._former, cxpert on_customs dutics and called at the appraiser's office of New York for the purpose of furmishing him first-hand comparisons between the Ding- ley, Payne and Aldrich bills, with a view of showing that instead of belng a reduc- tlon downward the Aldrich bill marks an increase of dutles In the aggregate instead of a decrease, as desired by President Taft and his party. Senator Dolliver has generally been regu- lar. It is not often he has been found in revolt from the leaders of tthe senate or- | ganization, but in the game of politic Senator Dolliver Is not a “‘apring ohicken and he probably realizes that he must hold his own with Towa's former governor, Al- bert B. Cummins, and he s therefore out in the tariff field to meet the doughty for every commodity is a blensing. Brown Likes the Bill. Senator Brown, who has followed tarift senate bill, sald loday he belleved the Aldrich bill would pass the senats by the 15th or 20th of May and that differences between interests were being gradually harmonized. Senator Brown seid he would not make a speech on pumice stone if con- cesslons of three-eighths of a cent a pound on gypmice and its products would be granted by the finance committee and | which he had every reason to believe would be done. He sald so-called {nsur- gents in the senate were winning sub- stantial victories and he believed that the Aldrich-Payne bill as finally adopted wouid prove to be the best tariff bill that has been passed in a third of a century and that it would meet with the wishes of a larger number of people than any similar | measure passed for the primary purpose | of ralsing revenues and at the same time 8iving protection to Amerfcan Industries where needed. He added that #he Dower of the provinces of the Dominlen to legialate independently made the work of the committee more dif- ficult. On motion of Mr. Hale the sched- ule was passed over.

CHICAGO, April 2.—Demoralization was general tod: in the grain pits on the Board of Trade, heavy llguidation, which caused the sensational slump in wheat prices yesterday, having extended to coarse grain. During the first few minutes of trading July wheat sold off to $1.08%, which was % cents below the low point of the preceding session. Corn for May delivery broke more than 4 cents from the best mark of the previous day, declining early in | the day to 6% cents per bushel. At this point there was a moment's hesitation and a fractional recovery. Then July corn broke further to 6% cents. May corn, which at the best point yesterday s0ld at 72 cente, declined today to 67% cents on early trades. May wheat tumbled to $1.20%. The recent blg slump in wheat prices was checked at least temporarily today by profit-taking by shorts and in the absence of particular pressure. May wheat closed 1%c and July %@%c over yesterday. Corn declined heavily early, but regalned most of the loss late In the session. —_— New Oarriers and Postmasters, WASHINGTON, D. C..

COAT LINED WITH CHAIN MAIL Avenue Over Which Sultan Walks in Freahly Coated with White Sa and Lined with Troops Four Deep. CONBTANTINOPLE—ADril B.—It is re ported here today that at the mecret wes- sion of national assembly held at San Stefano yesterday 130 doputies voted In favor of the deposition of the sultan. The sultan appeared upon the streets of Constantinople today and was greeted by the people with cries of adoration. With a mask-like countegance and his head sunk between his stooped shoulders he acknowl- edged the salutations of the throng by curt nods, The occaslon of his masjesty's appear- ance was his regular Friday visit to the White mosque outside the walls of Yiidiz Kiosk, a ceremony known as the Selamifk. It was the first time the sultan had been scen in public since the revolutionary out- break of April 13, On the word that the Selamlik would occur today the people in great numbers made thelr way to greet the sultan. From the gate of the palace enclosure to the mosque the broad driveway was lined on either side by the picked regiments of the army. Kvery paint of vantage was occus pled by the soldlery and the mosque was completely surrounded by them. Regimenta of cavairy filled & nearby open fleld, Walks Over White Sand. The avenue leading from the mosque to the palace gate, freshly sprinkled with white sand, that the sultan might have an undefiled path to his place of worship, was lined four and six feet deep by the troops of the empire. Back of the soldiers the people gathered in a dense throng. At noon the gates were thrown open and the sultan appeared in his customary victoria. He drove the short distance to the mosque and at once entered to say his prayers After the completion of his devotions he returned by the same way he came and disappeared through the broad portal Inte the guarded precinets of his palace. As the sultan drove by the terrace ot white stone used by distinguished visitors to watch his passage to and fiom the mosque, he looked carefully to see if any of the ambassadors were present. None was there, however, as they had, by com- mon consent, agreed to remain away. The terrace was occupled by a large gathering of forelgn visitors and junior members of the varfous diplomatic missions. His majesty's customary uniform, that of a field marshal, was covered today by an old gray overcoat that he has not worn for years. This garment Is commonly believed to have a lining of fine steel mail, and his majesty certainly looked thicker through the body today than he does whesn he is recelving in the palace. Victory for Young Turks. The Young Turks have won another vie- tory over Sultan Abdul Hamid, but whether the sultan will remain as sovereign of the empire is yet to ba declded, although he has offered to place the atfairs of gov- ernment entirely in the hands of the mua- isters responsible to Parllament. Tewfik Pasha, the grand vizler, today arranged a compromise with certain in- | fluential constitutionalists, and this was approved by the sultan personaily, but doubts exist whether this agreement will be accepted by the majority of the com- mittee of union and progress or by enough of the military &roup to carry it Into effect. In addition to promising to withdraw himself from administrative activities the sultan agrees to a change In the per- sonnel of the troops guarding the palace and the replacing of the Constantinople garrison by troops from the corps whicl has practically been investing the ciiy for four days.
