J Gazette-News Bureau, . Wyatt Building, ,. Washington, July 2.. THE potent lnfluece of party name la all that atandi In the way of passing radical tariff legislation In congress. Personal pride of au thorship la an additional stumbling block, but the really great trouble la the old, old force of partisanship. Both the democrat and the Insur gent republicans are , committed to revision of the tariff downward. Both seta of politicians are specifically un der pledge to lower tariff taxation upon clothing to reduce the woolen and cotton schedules. Also both vig orously contend that, Inasmuch as the Canadian trade agreement will estab lish free trade in agricultural produces with our most serious competitor, compensating reductions snould be granted, upon these manufactured ar ticles most needed by farmers agri cultural Implemets and hardware of all sorts. The democrats poBseSs a majority of the house and, hence, have been able to put their own program , through that body. Tariff revision republicans : and democrats easily have a majority In the senate. The house Jiaa not yet passed the cotton bill, but will do so '4 - vl-iB'4eflsjjs..: But .the , a und the farmers' free list .measure for a long time nave oeen on the senate calendar.' The wool bill will be voted upon In the upper house next Thursday and the farmers free list bill a week from today. In this situation, of course; the question on every tongue Is, "why do not the two factions In the senate, who profess to want approximately the same thing, get together ad . accomplish some thing?" .i Insurgent" Bepubllcan Hold Back. As a matter of fact the house wool bill. In many particulars, contains ex actly the rates so eloquently cham pioned In 90 by .the late Jonathan, P. Dolllver of Iowa, then spokesman of the republican Insurgents In matters pertaining to wool. But the bill now comes to the senate labeled "demo cratic. The insurgents still desire to be considered "republicans," and feel they dare not support propositions brand with the opposition party's ame. Hence La Follette found it nec essary to revise the Dolllver duties and a measure which prescribes . tariffs about midway between those of exist ing law and those' of the house wool bill. Thus far the Cummins-LaFol-letts crowd have refused even to com promise upon the wool bill, contend ing that If a bill pts tt must r a "progressive republican" and art a "democratic" bill. Rather than let the democrats gather the glory of en acting the Dolllver measure, the reb el republicans prefer that no bill b accepted. -." Therefore the probabilities are that upon next Thursday all proposals to lower the wool duties will be beaten. The Insurgents will coalesce, with the standpatters to that end. - Clianra tat Free IMt Measure. . The result may be different when the free list Is taken up. Various tar Iff propositions, affecting wool, cotton iron and steel products, sugar and food products will be offered as m.nrim.ntl In the free list. It . IS likely then that the Insurgent meas- urea, confronting the democrats as a sole means of doing anything ai mis time, may get through. But a com iinaita hill must result, such as Presl dent Taft may veto much mora easily than If he were compelled to -pass Ma revision of the wool schedule alone. It Is remem bered that the president hlmseir has described the wool duties as constitut ing that "Indefensible schedule K." Were the Insurgents not a little afraid that some one would arise at home and call thej democratic, very probably tariff rates on the necessaries . of life could be lowered now. Being afraid, there Is little prospect of ac tion along this line. SENATE TO PUT VYC0L ISSUE UP TO PRESIDENT Washington. July i5.

The most Important development Irt the Beattle murder case Is an Indication on the part of Beulah Blnford, tho woman with whom Henry C.

The "other" woman In the murder mvstery has entirely recovered from the hysterics that overcame her when she was locked up. She seems happy and bright and sheerful.
