WAR OVER THE TARIFF

Hope Abandoned of Adjusting Matter with Canada. ■ I—l ■' t The state department officials at Washington have practically abandoned all hope of any adjustment of the tariff differences between the United States and Canada. They believe it is altogether probable that the maximum rates of the Aldrich act will go into operation against that country automatically in two weeks. An official said that so far as the department could see there was not a ray of hope of any understanding being reached. The final agreement between France and the United States over the minimum tariff probably will be effected within twenty-four hours. It is understood that France has agreed to the tentative arrangement made by Ambassador Jusserand with the American officials.

The fire has swept over 2,000 acres of land, most of which was timbered, destroying the timber and fencing. Rfesidents of ihe burned district have been fighting the fire day and night since it started but have been unable to check it, as the leaves and other vegetation are dry as tinder It was with much difficulty that the residence and barns of Howard J. Tooley were saved.

CANNON IS SHORN OF HIS POWER IN HOUSE

Will Not Be a Member of Commlltee on Rules. Shorn of his power by a combination of the Democrats and Republican Insurgents, Joseph Gurney Cannon is merely the presiding officer of the national house of representatives. The house adopted the Norris resolution amending the rules so as to provide for the election of a committee on rules by the house itself, the committee to consist of ten members and the speaker being ineligible to serve thereon. The following Insurgent Republicans, thirty-five In all, voted with the solid Democratic side, against the motion to table Representative Norris’ appeal from the decision of the speaker on the Dalzell motion to table the Norris resolution: Nelson, Kopp, Carey, Cooper, Davidson, Lenroot, Morse (Wis.), Davis, Lindbergh, Miller, Steenerson, Volstead (Minn.), Kendall, Hubbard, Good, Haughn, Picketts, Woods (Iowa) Hinshaw, Kinkaid, Norris (Neb.), Madison, Murdock (Kan.), Howland, Johnson, Taylor (Ohio.), Ames, Gardner (Mass.), Foelker, Fish (N. Y.), Poindexter (Wash.), Martin (S. D.), Fowler (N. J.), Hayes (Cal.) By a vote of 155 to 191 the house then defeated a resolution declaring the office of speaker vacated and providing for the immediate election of a successor to Cannon. Nine insurgents voted with the Democrats' in support of this resolution.

Before the vote was taken Cannon made a statement. Two courses were open to him, the speaker declared — to resign, because the majority of the house had by its action shown that it no longer had confidence In him, or allow the house to take the initiative In declaring the office of speaker vacated. He hesitated from resigning at present, he explained, because of the important legislation pending and the chaos that would ensue through the possibly prolonged struggle -oyer the choosing of his successor. Twice while the speaker read his statement tremendous applause Interrupted from the regular side. At all other times the immense crowd of actors and spectators scarcely breathed. A pin-drop might have been heard. One signal for cheering, poundings on desks and waving of handkerchiefs was when the speaker shouted dramatically that he was not conscious of any political wrong he ever had don?, Another was when he practically defied bis political and personal enemies to move to oust him from his office. The insurgents are jubilant over their victory.

RULES AGAINST “DRYS”

Chicago Election Commission to Scan Petition Names. Local option advocates in the city of Chicago lost both of their contentions regarding their petition to submit the galoon question to the voters of the city when the board of election commissioners announced , its decision The board held that it had the right to Investigate the petition, and decided further that a legal voter in the meaning of the statute, is a duly registered legal voter. The commission ruled that inasmuch as the validity of the petition may be verified by the commission’s own records, it obviously is its duty to make the verification. Following the reading of the decision, President Judge of the commission announced that a further finding by the board will bear on the question of whether the local option proposition shall be placed on the ballot It is expected the comparison of the names with the registry list will be completed within a few hours, and then will come this second decision.

ROOSEVELT IS HERO IN CAIRO

Egyptians Extend Great Welcome to the American. EVENT TALKED OF FOR DAYS Week’s "Program of Entertainment and Sightseeing Arranged for the Distinguished Hunter and His Party. Cairo, Egypt, March 25. The old and new civilization of the Egyptian metropolis co-operated to'give Theodore Roosevelt, the distinguished American, a welcome that in cordiality and enthusiasm surpassed that received by any foreigner within the memory of the present generation. Said an American tourist: “New York’s reception may be on a grander scale, but this old town has set us a lively pace.” For days the one topic of conversation had been the expected arrival of the American statesman and hunter, and in the restaurants, on the streets and in the corridors of the hotels, his name was heard continually. The city was decked with American flags from the old Arabian Cairo through Ezbekleh Garden to the fashionable foreign quarters of Ismaillya. Colonel Roosevelt was received formally by Major L. O. F. Stack, British agent in Sudan and director of intelligence, who expressed the regrets of Sir Reginald Wingate, the sirdar, that the latter, owing to indisposition, was unable to personally meet the city's guest. With Major Stack were American Consul General Iddings, Mrs. ladings and Miss Iddings.

Colonel Roosevelt and Mr. Iddings had lunch with Major Stack at the British agency. In the afternoon the state coach called for Mr. Roosevelt and conveyed him to the Abd in palace, where he was received by Abbas Hilmi, the Khedive of Egypt. The Roosevelts will remain here one week, and Jhe program of entertainments and sight-seeing ar’-nged will keep them busily occupied.
