If the consent of Rep resentative Underwood and other house leaders can be secured, a joint resolution will be passed through con gress, repealing that portion of the new tariff law authorizing a five per cent tariff rebate on goods brought to this country in American-owned ships. . The decision to ask for the repeal of the clause was reached by adminis tration officials after experts of the state and treasury departments had decided that to carry out its exact terms would mean a reduction of five per cent, in tariff on goods from prac tically all of the chief exporting coun tries except Brazil, France and Rus sia. . After a conference with President Wilson, in which the latter gave his endorsement to the plan. Solicitor Jo seph W. Folk of the state department took up with congressional leaders the plan to have the objectionable clause eliminated from the tariff law, Senator Simmons, chairman of the snate finance committee, gave assur ance that the senate . undoubtedly would agree to a repeal of the -entire clause as it had originally rejected it, Foreign countries, including Ger many, France and Spain, which claim they would be severely discriminated against by the shipping clause, have made strong protests to the state de partment, and it is realized that re taliatory measures probably will be adopted by. several countries if the 5 per cent, reduction clause is adminis tered if the state department believes it must be. REBUKED BY THE PRESIDENT Wilson on Warpath Because of Report That He Wields "Big Stick." Washington. For the first time in the history of the United States a newspaper editor was officially rebuk ed by the chief executive of the na tion. President Wilson sent the fol lowing communication to the editor of Uie Washington Post: "Sir: I am quoted in your issue of this morning as saying that any one who does not support me is ' no Democrat but a rebel. Of course, I never said any such thing. It is contrary, both to my thoughts and to my character, and I must ask that you give a very prominent place in your issue of tomorrow to this denial. "Very truly yours, "WOODROW WILSON." President Wilson's demand for a re traction of this article showed that he has gone on the warpath over va rious newspaper reports that he was preparing to read out of the Demo cratic party all who did not support him on the Glass-Owen currency 'bill, The president is said to be incensed by what he considers "malicious" sto ries, written with the aim of bringing about an open breach between him and Senators O'Gorman and Reed, who opposed the currency bill. The president has been planning to exercise the utmost tact and delicacy in dealing with the situation, and this fact rendered him the more angry over reports picturing him as a dictator and user of the "big stick."

TO FREE THE PH1UPIPNES GOVERNOR GENERAL HARRISON ARRIVES IN THE PHILIP- PINE ISLANDS, v Steps Will Be Taken With View to the Ultimate Independence of ' ' ' the Islands. Manila, P. I. Francis Burton Harri son of New York, newly appointed governor general of the Philippines, who has arrived here, was greeted by several thousand people, many of whom had come from the provinces. Several of the welcoming delegations were accompanied by bands. Governor General Harirson's ad dress embodied instructions received from President Wilson, stating broad ly the administration's policy toward the Philippines. The Instructions declared that every step would be taken with a view to the ultimate Independence of the islands. Also it was announced that the first step to be taken at once would, be to give native citizens the majority In the appointive commission, and thus majority in both houses of the Phil ippine legislature. The instructions of the American government as thus em bodied in the governor general's ad dress were as follows: "We regard ourselves as trustees, acting not for the advantage of the United States, but for the benefit of the people of the Philippine islands. Every step will be taken with a view to the ultimate independence of the Islands and as a preparation for that independence, and we hope to move toward that end as rapidly as the safe ty and the permanent interests of the islands will permit. After each step taken, experience will guide us to the next NOME RAVAGED BY STORM Two Miles of Territory Next to Sea Devastated No Lives Lost. Nome, Alaska. Nome has been al most destroyed by a storm. Two miles of territory next to the sea was devas tated. No lives were lost The storm that began beating In from Bering sea was the worst ever known here.- Men and women worked all night in the icy water to save their household effects. The electric light plant was wrecked and telephone ser vice is cut off. The los is estimated at a million and a half dollars. The steamships Victoria and Cor- win, which were lying in the, road stead, ran to the open sea and es caped damage. - All the small boats on the beach were destroyed. Five hundred houses have been de stroyed and more are. falling. Nome has produced more than $35,- 000,000 in gold dust Some years the yield has been as high as $8,000,000. Dropped Dead on Witness Stand. Warrenton, Ga. George T. Hannah, a prominent merchant of Gibson, and about 60 years old, dropped dead in the courthouse here about nopn.

President Wilson will begin conferences with Democratic senators looking , to the acceleration of the administration currency bill's progress through the senate. The presf'' jith as been . iknformed- that some members of the senate banking committee pla nto continue the hearing two weeks longer, and consume a month'' thereafter In working over the bill. He looks upon this program as likely to throw the currency discus sion into the December session of con gress and postpone a vote indefinitely. Piedras Negras. Mexico. Without firing a shot Federal soldiers took pos session of Piedras Negras, erstwhile provisional capital of the Constitution alists. culminating the victorious march of the government army un der General Maas through the state of Coahulla, the home of Venustiano Carranza, Revolutionary commander- in-chief. With the exception of four strag glers, who were cut down by Federal cavalry while attempting to escape across the border, all of the Constitu tionalist troops In Piedras Negras marched away with the approach of the government army. They were not pursued, the victorious troops content ing themselves i with a search of the city for rebels who might be in hid ing. The city is policed by troops, and so far there has been no loot ing. ' While the city was being evacuated and before the. Federals took posses sion panic prevailed among the resi dents who made a rush for the inter national bridge. As an act of mercy to the terror- stricken women and children the quar antine established by the city of Eagle Pass, because of the prevalence of smallpox here and in the surrounding country, was partially raised and sev eral thousand were permitted to cross the boundary and were marched under guard of United States troops to quar antine camps outside of Eagle Pass. Reports as to the status of the Rev olutionary movement are conflicting. Some dispatches Indicate that the rebel army is badly scattered and broken in spirit, while others are that the different bands are still intact and marching toward a common point to reform and renew the campaign. Mon cleva and Cuatro Cienegas, In the central part of the state of Coahuila, are still under rebel rule, it is under stood, while private advices received at Laredo, Texas, report that the im portant city of Torreon,, in the south ern part of the state, has been taken by the Constitutionalists. AEROPLANE DEALS DEATH Aviator Loses Ccntrol and His Aero plane and Kills Girl. Rochester, N. Y. Miss Ruth Hil dreth, daughter of W. E. Hildreth of New York city,' was killed and her sister, Dorothy Hildreth, was perhaps fatally injured in Hammendsport when Lincoln Beachey lost control of a 100 horsepower aeroplane and it swept a number of spectators off a roof from which they were watching the exhibi tion. : " '.- :?'': To gain a good view the Misses Hil dreth and the navy officers climbed to the top df a small building used as headquarters for naval aviators. Beachey recognized the party and dipped his machine in salute. They waved. The areopiane went to tne end of the field, turne"dand came back. When It was over the heads of the Hildreth party the machine was seen to dip. The aeroplane came so close to the party as to sweep all to the ground. The aeroplane careened wild ly and plunged to the earth, unseat ing the aviator and wrecking the ma chine. Savannah Makes New Cotton Record Savananh. With a total of 30,558 bales. Savannah In one day establish ed a new record tor daily cotton re ceipts. The totals in the greatest cot ton years in the history of the port are considerably under receipts. The movement of the staple is now in heavy volume. The port since Sep tember 1 has received 418,231 bales, whereas for the same, period last year only 211,704 bales had found their way to this center of distribution. ' Reforms Proposed by Exchanges. New York. That the New York cot ton exchange is considering some ac tion with reference to the grades and contract methods which figured so prominently in recent proposed legis lation at Washington was made appar ent through the publication of reso lutions passed by the board of mana gers. The resolutions provide for the appointment of a 'committee of seven by the president to consider the ques tion of changing the existing type stan dards, the question of making such changes in the - contracts. , , , Blacks Storm Jail; Riot Follow.

With Tariff Out of the Way, Demo cratic Leaders Will Center Ef forts on Money Legislation. Washington. Political Washington, relieved of the long drawn out con sideration of the tariff, will focus its attention on the second of the Dem ocratic reform measures banking and currency legislation. Though the administration currency bill easily passed the house, its path- way in the senate Is admittedly full of obstacles. At present the senate banking committee has not yet be- gun consideration of the bill, intend- ing for at least ten days more to hear prominent bankers and finance ex- perts. . Predictions at the capitol are general that for a month thereafter the senate committee will be at work on the measure, considering numerous amendments. ' While there was ntmTilmity of prln- ciple on tariff revision, widely diverg- ent views are held by Democratic sen- ators on banking reform. A strong de- sire for a single bank with branches, unaer government control, instead oi regional reserve system of banks has made its appearance in the infor mal discussion. Other changes of a far-reaching character are being sug gested and it is regarded generally as doubtful if a bill satisfactory to the senate banking committee can reach the floor of the senate before the I middle of November. At the white house there is a con fidence that the bill will be passed this session or be placed on the statute books, at any rate, before the first of tllA Tftfll. ThA nrpfllHpnt wnnta thnr. ough consideration of the, currency bill and any improvement that the senate can make upon the measure,1 as pass ed by the house, will be welcomed. His disposition, however, is to oppose strongly 'any undue delay, for he be lieves prompt revision of the banking and currency system is necessary to meet the commercial expansion which he expects will follow the operation of the new tariff. EARTHQUAKE IN CANAL ZONE Isthmus Rocked by Earthquake and Buildings Severely Shaken. Panama. Another earthquake oc curred on the isthmus. It was almost equal in intensity to the former shock. its duration being from 10 to 15 sec onds.

Duncan and associates to buy the State's stock in the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad at $75 a share, heard argument again against the acceptance several days ago, one of the principal speakers being former Congressman Charles R. Thomas of Craven. . . He insisted that the statesmen of 1852 were especially wise in their plan to establish a great trunk railway line from the Atlantic at Morehead and Beaufort thraueh thn whnlo .lonsrtTi nt . tne state to the Tennessee line, anti that latter-day statesmen have made serious mistakes In not adhering to this policy. He insisted that the sale of the West era .Carolina road had been a serious mistake. Now the Atlantic & Northi Carolina and the North r Carolina roads were leased for periods that ex- plre at the same time. He charged that the Atlantic ft North Carolina Is now leased for a rental that 1- ridiculous and predicted that the stock would be worth par la -10 years and probably $300 a share before the lease expires.

Up to the last report all efforts to capture the remaining seven of the ten convicts who recently escaped from the Lenoir county camp near here'have been unavailing.
