Many provisions, includ ing the wood pulp and wool schedules, were Friday passed over on specific objection. . Daring the reading of the tariff bill, numerous requests were made bn the part of both Republicans and Democrats for the passing over of arious schedules, although an agreed went had previously been made that each action was not necessary in or der to permit a Senator to enter and obtain a vote on any' amendment. Senators McCumber and Simmons suggested that the lumber schedule he passed over and Senator Beveridge made the same request in respect to the . tobacco schedules.

"There is nothing under the agri cultural schedules that is so high as the duty on rice," suggested Mr. Aldrieh. "Still we might amend - the schedule," said Mr. MeCumber, smil ing. "Let it be passed,-" interposed Senator Oallinger with a significant glance toward the Democratic side. The Phillipine sugar schedule call ed forth a vigorous criticism on the part of Senators Clay and Bacon, of the policy of admitting sugar from the Philippine islands to the United States free of duty. They - declared that the free admission of 225,000 tons of sugar from Porto Rico and 400,000 tons from the Hawaiian is lands had not affected the price of re fined sugar and added that while granulated sugar mthe United States sells for 4.96 oents per pound, it is sold for 2.70 cents a pound in Lon don. Mr. Bacon insisted that the introduction ef free Philippine sugar would, by replacing an equal amount of dutiable sugar, reduce the reve nues without any benefit to the peo ple of this country.

Lewiton, N. Y., Special. The great ice jam still seals the waters of the lower Niagara river. In 24 hours the ponderous mass has not moved forward a hair's breadth. Residents and property owners all along the banks from Queenston to Lake Ontario are panic stricken, fear ing out so much a futrehr rise in the river as the sudden breaking of the jam. The ice, which, in its slow progress during the past few days, has uprooted huge trees and carried away dozens of docks and boat hous es would, it is feared, in a sudden rush, erase acres of territory along the upper banks of the river. With the approval of the War De partment and Governor Hughes, ef forts are being made by State, em ployes to dislodge the ice-jam in the Niagara by the use of dynamite: Re ports submitted to Superintendent Stevens by experts in the use of ex plosives, detailed to make an exami nation of the river, stated that con ditions were serious; that the ice was twelve miles long and sixty feet high ; that damage was inevitable and that something should be done at once. They recommended the use of dyna mite. Tour Killed in Tornado. Cleveland, 0., Special. Probably four deaths, scores ef persons injur ed and hundreds of thousands of dol lars worth of damage marked the path of the tornado which passed acoss the northern part of Ohio at noon Wednesday. The storm con sumed only five minutes, in passing a given. point, but during that brief period it was as dark as night, hail battered in windows, lightning set fire to hundreds of btildings, and the wind, which reached a velocity of 66 miles an hour, razed buildings and chimneys, tore off roofs, laid low many telegraph and telephone lines and demoralized traffic upon steam and electric railways. In neighbor ing towns considerable damage was done. Ten dwellings w.ere reported to have been blown to, the ground in the southwestern part of the city. Many homes were burned as the fire department could not attend to all of the calls. An unidentified young wo man was blown into a lake -and drowned. ' Alabama Statute is Held Invalid. Montgomery, Ala., Special. The State law of Alabama annulling the licenses of foreign corporations tak ing cases from State to federal courts has been declared unconstitutional in a decision by Judge Thomas G. Jones of the United States court of the mid dle district of Alabama. lie said that the law violated both the State and the federal constitutions. The decision was made in an order en joining the secretary of state from canceling the license of the Western Telegraph company in Alabama. Judge Jones holds that the act is violative of the 14th amendment of the federal constitution, in that it does not apply to domestic corpora tions aa it does to foreign, and of the" state constitution because' it de nies the right given by that instru ment to a corporation to conduct its business without molestation. He holds that the law is in no sense jus-, titled as a police measure. "Tennessee Dutch" in JaiL .

' SULTAN A PRISONER Voting Turks Win Victory In Stiff Contest riLDJZ GARRISON SURRENDERS Constitutionalists Have Situation in Hand Martial Law Proclaimed Foreigners Safe Will Test Sul- tan's Responsibility For Mutiny. Constantinople, By Cable.-rThe jonstitutionalist forces were in com plete control of the capital Saturday, the Sultan was practically a prisoner in the YUdiz palace. His formal sub mission was not given, but he and the troops with him were at the mercy of die army of occupation. Mahamoud Schefket Pasha, the sommander-in-chief of the invading forces, desired to finish the work vithout further bloodshed. The sending forward of the ad vance posts of the Saloniki army Fri- lay afternoon to within two and trae-half miles of the palace fore shadowed the attack upon the city, which began at 5 o'clock Sunday norning. The bridges had been pick eted and small parties of cavalry had teconnoitered the grand. After desul tory firing, just before dawn, a strong idvance was made in the southwest part of Pera. The attacking forces ipread out in a long line and made an assault upon the Matchka aad Taschkischia barracks, south of the oalace. Here they met with a stub born resistance. The invaders continued to advance n three columns with the utmost pre sisien, and occupied all the points of vantage. The voluneers from Gnev jeli received their baptism of fire from Matchka, but they stood their round well and replied with steady rolleys. The strength of the volun teers was overwhelming, and the tfatchka garrison soon surrendered. Almost imemdiately the loyal sol diers on the Taschkischia barracks, in the opposite hill, opened with a leadly fire, but notwithstanding that 11 any of them fell, the Saloniki xoops did not - hesitate in their ad vance, but moved slowly and cau tiously, bringing up their machine runs, which eventually resulted in lileneing the garrison. There were leavy losses on both sides. While ;his attack was proceeding, another xirps of Saloniki infantry encounter sd a sudden attack from the artillery in the Taxim barracks but these were jnly supplied with rifles. Muksstar Bey, commander of the Saloniki forces, fell dead and many ivere killed or wounded on the first assault. ,Perhap8 the most remarkable fea ture of the attack upon the city was the exeat number of people of all nationalities, including many Euro pean women, who thronged the streets immediately outside the zone of fire. Everybody showed that con fidence had been inspired by the dis cipline, valor and friendly courtesy of Jhe invading troops, particularly the gendarmes of Saloniki. The number of casualties probably will never be known, but it is esti mated far into the thousands. Around the Taxim barracks alone it is be lieved that a thousand or more men fell. The private houses within the line of fire suffered greatly. , tin one quarter some 6,000 or 7,000 troops were engaged in the conflict, but with the . terrifie exchange of shots, few non-combatants were kill ed. At noon the batte ceased, and pre cautionary measures were immediate ly taken by those upon whom victory had rested, to insure the safety of the residents. No disorders of any kind occurred during ' the afternoon, and no looting was permitted. Gen eral satisfaction seemed to be felt at the swift change from uncertainty to constitutional order. A cablegram of Sunday says:' The Yildiz garrison . surrendered to the Constitutionalist s forces. The com manders ef these battalions began sending in their submission to Mah amoud Schefket Pasha Saturday night and the whole of the troops protect ing the palace gave their formal and unconditional surrender shortly after dawn.

SULTAN MUST ABDICATE Mehmed Reochad Effendi Probably the New Ruler of Turkish Empire. Constantinople, By Cable. The de position of Sultan Abdul Hamid ap pars now to be certain and the 101 guns saluting Mehmed Recchad Effendi as the new ruler of the em pire probably will be heard before the next Selamlik on Friday. The dig nataries of the church care as little for Abdul Hamid as does the com mittee of union and progress, but the higher clergy are seeking to curb the agitation of the enthusiasts of the Mohammedan League.. Senators and Deputies, who have made inquiry among the Ulemas, find them in dif ferent degrees favorable to the Sul tan's removal. A caucus of Senators and Deputies Monday determined to make an effort to compel him to abdicate under the ecclesiastical law, by the terms of which a decree may be issued by the Sheik-Ul-Islam, the highest authority of Mohammedanism, next to the Sul tan, pronouncing the Sultan incap able of ruling. Mehmed Recehad Effendi, the heir apparent to the throne, probably would be selected for the accession. He is gray haired and not very strong, to judge from his appearance. He is 65 years of age and well educat ed, although inexperienced in the af fairs of the world. Monday afternoon witnessed the final act in the siege of the Yildiz, General Schefket, commander of the Constitutionalists, overawing the Al banians into surrenedr. This force, which was composed of 200 men, was stationed in the imperial palace. The Albanians were not engaged in the fighting on Saturday, but they per sistently refused to lay down their arms. General Schefket sent up a strong body of Macedonians and six field pieces were plaeed in a promin ent position above the palace. Other guns were disposed on the neighbor ing heights, while troops commanded all the approaches. The red flag continued, however, to fly defiantly until 2 o'clock, when the watchers saw it dropping slowly down the flagpole making place for the white token of surrender. SITUATION 18 ALARMING. Refugees From Durtynl Say 100,000 Armenians Are Besieged by 60,000 Moslems. Alexandretta, Asiatic Turkey, By Cable. Refugees who have made their escape from Duryul, which is a small town not far from Alexandret ta, bring most alarming accounts ef the situation there. They affirm that 100,000 Armenians are beleagured by 50,000 Moslems. The besieged are half starving and the conditions with in the walls of the city are pitiful. It is difficult for foreign residents here to credit these numbers. The foreign consuls estimate about 6,000 towns-people are refugees at Durtyul, with perhaps as many more Turks threatening them from the outside. It is certain there are no Americans at that place. Commanders of the Britsh and other warships at this port have had under consideration the landing of a force to relieve the besieged town which is within one day's march of Alexandretta, but they finally decid ed that this was wholly impracti cable, as they had no right to inter fere in a purely international affair, and the Governor declined to give his permisson to the landing of an armed force.

WASHINGTON NOTES After twenty hours devoted to counting and recounting the ballots cast Thursday the Daughters of the ' American Revolution .Friday found the honors of the biennial election of -their society divided between the ad ministration and the anti-administra- . tion forces. The big fight of the con gress was won by the administration, in the election of Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, of Illinois, to be president general. The second officer in point ' of honor, that of vice president-general in charge of organizations, how-a ever, went to the anti-administration followers by the election of Mrs. Mi- ' randi B. Tulloch, of this city. With a majority over Mrs. William Cummings Story, of New York, of only 8 votes out of 873 ballots east, Mrs. Scott's victory goes down upon the records of the society as one of the most closely contested in the his tory of the organizatin. Scarcely had the first wave of disappointment at the narrow defeat of Mrs. Story swept over her followers before action was taken to renew the fight to elect the retiring State regent as president-general two years hence, whn Mrs. Scot's term of office will expire. So close an election stirred the eon- rress beyond the experience of yean. it was characterized by a bitterness that prevented the motion of Mrs. story to make the election of her rival unanimous being adopted, with dissent from a group of anti-adminis- -tration delegates. Senator McCumber, of North Da kota, Tuesday, in criticising the eoa- -ference report on the census bill, made the charge that the census of- ' flee has in its employ in one bnrean the wife of a secretary of a Represen tative in Congress, the wives of two officials of the War Department and the wife of a prominent official in the Treasury Department "Promo tion," he said, "seems to be almost, wholly for women whs have hnsbesds in the departments. ' This is getting to be a city of official families solL- y ing positions under government2 In the Senate Wednesday eottom seed oil was the subject of an ex change of opinion between protection ists Republicans and tariff-fof-reveno Democrats. Senator Simmons, of North Caro lina, protested against such action, declaring that he was free to say that he was not in favor of placing cotton seed oil on the free list. Stating that the importation of cotton seed oil in 190S was 202 gal lons, worth $81, and yielded revenue of $3.2S, Mr. Aldrieh said the tax on that article was "for protection pure and simple." "Any pretense," declared Mr. Till man, rising in his place and speaking in vigorous language, "that there is protection on cotton seed oil through such a duty is a humbug. Cotton seed oil producers do not want any protection at all." e Senator Cummins' bill for an in come tax provides as follows Upon incomes not exceeding $10, 000, 2 per cent ; upon incomes not ex ceeding $20,000, 2 1-2 per cent ; upon incomes not exceeding $40,000, 3 per cent; upon incomes not exceeding $60,000 3 1-2 per cent; upon incomes not exceeding $80,000, 4 per cent; upon incomes not exceeding $100,000, 5 per cent; upon all incomes exceed ing $100,000, 6 per cent Mr. Cummins believes that the graduated tax so provided for will produce a somewhat less reveaae than a fiat tax of 3 per cent and is of the opinion that the amount raised under his amendment would be aboat $40,000,000. - The senate finance committee Sat- ' urday agreed on a compromise be- . tween , manufacturers of print paper -and those who are demanding free pulp and reduced duties on paper. A v continuance of the present rate of IS v per cent ad valorem on hides was de cided upon. The house rates on steel rails probably will stand and eosno protection will be afforded iadepen dent oil producers. .. . , ; -'. ' For March; 1909, the Government receipts :, from " internal .
