Buddy hompson, & walter at the Rome, and Xenophen Norton, a night employe at the Henshaw, were the participants in the bout, while a bartender at the Rome acted &t timekeeper and a South Omaha wrestler was the referee About forty men were gathered in the garden to gétness the fight, while a large number of guests leaned out of the win dows from the third and fourth floors and cheered on the combatants. “Ten dollars on Buddy,”" shouted a negro chambermaid on the top floor of the hotel when her champion sent Norton to his knees with a well directed blow on the jaw in the second round “Twa to one on X." called a burly fellow on the ground, when the Henshaw man flattened the nose of the Rome employe Traveling men in their rooms at the rear of the hotel witnessed the bout and of- fered to make bets on the outcome, but the referee decided it a draw before many bets were placed.

Mr. Burkett pointed out that by the in- { vention of machinery America was now able to produce glass for half what it could be produced when the Dingley law was enacted twelve years ago, and there- fore the Dingley rates were out of pro= portion now. The senlor senator from Nebraska fin- sisted that nobody had undertaken to Justify the retention of the Dingley rates in the bill and he scathingly criticised the committee on finance for permitting debate to go on for two days without explaining why they insisted upon main- taining the schedules on windown glass, Senator Aldrich in reply admitted that the schedule was too high on plain win- dow glass, and stated that If a way could be devised to separate plain window glass from so-called picture glass and other su- perior makes they would do so, and om Senator Burkett's suggestion Senator Al drich asked that the schedule go over. The senate proceeded to the consideras tion of passed-over sections until the iron or paragraph was reached, when Senator Crawford spoke at length upoh the lack ot wisdom of any tariff that encouraged the exhaustion of natural resources which could not readily be produced. He Insisted that there should be no tariff on iron ore, ofl, coal and lumber, Karly in the session Senator Payuter spoke of the removal of 6 cents per pound on leaf tobaceo as a ssive means of freezing the tobaceo growers from the control of the tobacco trust. Window Glass Schedule Takem Up. Simmons offered an amendment to the window glass schedule of the tariff bill, reducing the rates below those sug- gested by Senator Cummins In his amend- ment to the same paragraph yesterday. (Krom a Staff Correspondent.) “The proposed by you ara the rates ator | of the Wilson bill, are they not?" said Mr. Aldrich Carolina Well, addressing the senator from North replled Mr. Simmons, smiling, “that should not be an argument against them. I think If that Is the case it would rather be a commendation." Mr. Simmons then addréssed the sen- ate me length upon the window glass to demonstrate that the glass manufacturers could prosper with duties much below those provided in the pending measure. Replylng to a question by Mr. Burkett, Mr. Hale declared that the tariff duty had no relation to the protective duty levied to build up the manufactures in this coun- try. Mr. Elkins defended the interestd of the American manufacturers and declared a re- duetion in the proposed duties would result inlowering the w the operatives, which, in turn, he would result In a strike and possibly the destruction of the window glass Industry.
