Payne-Aldrlch tariff law as a "transparent humbug." attacking the Urlff vie we of Its author. Represent ative Sereno Payne. Republican. New Tocfcf and vigorously sssalling Presi dent Tall for his support of that law. Mrwmttlhre Champ Clark, of Mia souri, leader of the Democratic mi nority. today delivered In the House what la regarded as the Demorcatlc keynote speech of the coming con grew ton el campaign Mr. Clark had prepared his add r see with great dre and spoke a\ length, giving facts and Mgmrm In support of his contention that the tariff had not been hoaestly revised, and that the Republican ma jority In Coagreee bad endeavored to trlch the people. Mr. Clark also paid his reepecta incidentally to the $250. 000 Item In the Sundry civil appro priation. bill for the creation of a tar iff board. Re said In part: "During this debate we ha vu wit nessed a spectacle without, perhaps, parallel In the annals of Congreee. First, we heard the gentleman from New York. Mr. Payne, chairman of the Ways and Means committee and the Republican floor leader, make a vitriolic attack on the speech of the Hon. Jonathan Pretitiss Dolltver. a Republican Senator from Iowa, re cently delivered In the city of Des Moines. "The neat dsy we hesrd the gon tlemsn from Mlchlgsn. Mr. Fordney, who Is s Republican of high degree, deliver a most bitter snd vicious as sault upon Senator Beverldge, the Republican boss of Indiana, on ac count of a speech delivered recently st Indianapolis. "Ia makln* a speech In defense of bis taTlff.blll. Mr. Chslrman Payne appeared to be performing a disa greeable stunt. He did not exhibit bis old time enthuslaam or his old time faolllt? of expression. He ap peared to be in about as cheerful a frame of mind as a ladryer appoint ed by the court defeading without fee he feels certain will be was to him a repulsive Job. but It hid to J>e gone threngh with some way. He appeared to be In the frame of mind of Macbeth when about to mur der Duncan: "If It were done, when 'tis done then 'twere well It were done quickly.' "Mr. Chairman Payne was evident ly In a very fretful state. He also seems to be afflicted with a new dla ease "intermittent forgetfulness. " He remembered with great vividness the soup- houses or 1893 and 1894. but when it came to the soup houses jof 1907. a very recent occurrence and the soup houses of -1872 his memory failed him utterly. It does not need a psychologist or phrenologist to ac count for this state of mind on-hla part, the reason being that the soup houses of 1873 and 1907 were under Republican administrations and un der tariff laws paaaed by the Repub lican party, while the soup housee of 1893. through the outgrowth of a panic caused by a Republican tariff Mil, sprang up when a Democratic president was In offlce. "The gentleman declared they put up the tariff on hoelery and as a con sequence the price of hosiery has gone down. He declared they put up the tajlff on wines snd sa a conse quence the price of wines lias gone UP., He seems to be playing both ends against the middle, for It muat be apparent to any sane man that. If putting up the tariff on hoelery made the price of hosiery go down'&ea. by the same logic putting up the tariff on wloe would have made the price of wine .go down. 'Consistency, thou are a Jewel.'

All that waa mortal or Sidney Laacelles, I the bogus lord Leresford, who la aald to have been a bigamist ao many I time* over that efforta were made by l thowmen to obtain hie body after he died, waa reduced to aahea at the un dertaking establishment and crema tory of Wm. J. Lee, 122 Pennaylva nta avenue, today. The embalmed body of Lascelles, which waa received here yesterday from Ashevllle, N. C.J where It had remained at an under taker^ for the laat eight rears, waa placed In the crematory thla morn ing. Arrangementa for the crema-i tlon were aald to have been made by the first wife of Laacellea. who Is a member of a "well known N*w York family." * Who the woman was who had the body brought here from Ashevllle and cremate'd still remains a deep , mystery. Where the ashes of the dead man will be placed Ja also a mystery. All Inquiries at the undertakers were I met with the statement that Mr. Lee [did not know who had gUon him the commission to cremate the body and that he did not know what disposi tion was' to be made of It. It wss learned, however, that the myaterlous "they" Inquisition re ferred to the persons who had given the order for the cremation, had visited the undertakers early this morning, given instructions and left. It seems to be a reasonable conjec ture that "they" were the woman who came here from North Carolina, referred to in the dispatches from that place as Mrs. T. J. Summerfleld, a alater-ln-law of the Aral Mrs. Las celles. and Dr. McPheraon Chrlchton whom the body was consigned to by the undertakers who shipped it from sAahevllle. A permit was obtained last even ing from Coroner Nevltt to cremate the body here. JDf. Nevltt aald today tbat the application for the permit was JDfdf fit Mr/ Lee. the under taker. that dqtth certificate was correct In form and that he Isaued ? - The mysterious Mrs. Summerfleld/ or .Watson or whatever her name may br. has managed bo far to con ceal her identity. r It haa been aug geated that the "Mrs. Watson" that called up Lee's early yesterday morn ing wished a body cremated right away was the woman In charge of the body of Laacelles. It has been suggested, too, that this woman was herself one of the wives of the much married Laacelles and that she is seeking to keep her Identity a secret because of the notoriety that would be given her If It became known that she wss caring for the body of her former husband. The body of Laacelles was wonder fully well preserved. After eight >eara It still retained a recognisable appearance before It was cremated today, though the skin was somewhat wrinkled and dlacolored. Many persons visited the undertak ing establishment last night and this morning and asked permission to see the body. All were told that the body was not to be exhibited, aa strict or ders hsd been given to keep the caa ket closed. j , .

Governor Kit chin and other State officers received today clippings from a numbers of Northern financial Journals giving a statement signed by John O. Carlislsi and two other members of the N?W* York syndicate to force collection of the North Carolina repudiated special tax bonds. The statement Is an- open letter to the New York stock ex change insisting that North Caroli na's forthcoming $3,430,000 bond Is sue should not be listed, on the ex change and that bond buyers should bsve nothing to do with them. The statements purpose to review the history and status of the repudi ated speclsl tax bonds, representing that they were Issued by the State government In i860 and duly listed on the New York exchange and that a political change put a hostile party In control of the Legislature and brought about the repudiation. Ef forts to collect are reviewed and the statement made that at leaat two States are seriously considering the question of successfully prosecuting North Carolina for blocks of these bonds thst have come Into their pos? session. The Stste officers do not believe that this attempt to bar the impend ing refunding bond iasue will have any serious effect and assert that the outlook is very bright In spite of the unprecedently flooded condition of the general bond market at this time.
