Washington. July 20. The leader
ship of President Taft Is on trial to
day in the light for free bides. With th prospect before them of further exchanges between the gladiators of the
two houses, Senator Aldrich and Chair
nan Payne, the tariff conferees who were early prepared for this afternoon
session. ' Among the three stalwarts there is no weakening and the deadlock which bas developed ler giving the test to the poltical strength of the president. In view of the disagreeable difference between Aldrich and Payne over the bide schedule the morning session today was eliminated. . Expensive 8ession. The extra session pf the sixty-first congress, which met March 15, In response to the proclamation of President Taft to revise the tariff, will have cost the people of the United' States more than half a million dollars by the
time it adjourns. Two Items alone of the cost are specified in the legislative
appropriation bill as follows:
Mileage and stationery for the house
and senate amount to $201,000 for mllea: S50.500 for stationery. The
other items of expense can not be ac curately figured, but it is not an ex
aggeration to say that the cost of printing the Congressional Record, the testimony taken before the ways and
means committee, the estimates and
data ' prepared for the ways and means committee and the finance' committee, to say nothing of public and private
bills and reports, will foot up some
thing like $200,000, and the expense for extra help and messenger service
will reach close to $100,000. l Is Crucial Week.
This Is the crucial week of the tariff
bill, which has now . been in confer
ence since July 0, and the indications are that it will be at least a week be
fore the bill will be sent to the presi
dent for his approval. The republi
cans in the house and senate, who con
strue the Chicago platform as a declar
atlon for a downward revision of the
tariff say they will vote for the bill
because it is the best that quid- be ob
tained owing to the Intrenched post
tlon of the stand-patters in the senate
they admit that when the bill is sent
to the president it will be far short of the desires of Mr, Taft, but he will approve it because the bill will contain a modicum of tariff revision downward. The present fight in conference on the Payne bill Is a repetition of the tight of twelve years ago. Then as now, it was on hides. Mr. Payne at that time made a stubborn resistance to the demand of the western senators for the fifteen par cent duty on bides.

The New Castle case of alleged
blackmail in which Jeannette Dinger and Ralph Duncan, of Cambridge City
are implicated was advanced another
notch toward daylight, Saturday when
a man named Eramett Fidler was arrested. Fidler is believed to have
been at the bottom of the affair. He was employed by Nathan Payne, the
farmer who received the threatening
letters, and quit after a disagree

The Game of Navigating
Through Clouds.
Attorney B. F. Harris relates an ex
perience which he underwent while at Crooked Lake last week. Mr. Harris
had gone to the lake for a quiet sum
mer outing and was not prepared for
what befell him. He - now believes some of the stories he has been told
and read about the power of the winds
such as cause cyclones in Kansas and other western states. j
He related the story in this way: "Crooked Lake is a body of water
near Angola, Ind., and is visited reg
ularly by a number of cottagers.
Among them is Senator Wickwire of
Steuben county. He had one of the prettiest cottages on the lake. It was built into the side of the hill, and the first story was of logs. One afternoon as the cottagers were about, I heard a
terrible roaring noise that was different from all other sounds. I looked and saw coming across the lake a funnel shaped cloud about sixty feet wide
at the lower end. It was revolving at a tremendous rate. Scooped Up Water. "It bore across the lake scooping up
immense quantities of water. It was a smoke color and seemed coming, directly towards us. In a few moments it arrived, but Teered. away striking the cottage of Senator Wickwire straight ahead.

Prince George made a wise use of his

well pleased with their choice. He was appointed for a term of threw years, and in 1901 the appointment
was renewed. But again the old antagonism between Moslem and Christian kindled the interns! fires and the
result was thst the powers were forced to station troops on the Island ta
