. Washington Although considerable I
progress was made during the last I
week by the senate in the considers. I
tion of the tariff bill, the date at
which a final Vote on the measure can
be looked for is as indefinite flow as
it was a week ago. A large number
of paragraphs covering duties on im
portant articles remain to-be disposed
of, in addition to the special revenue
features and the administrative sec
tions of the bill.
However, as there is less disposition
to discuss the theoretical problems of
the tariff, it may be expected that
the various matters will be dispatched
with greater rapidity and fewer
speeches. While few members will
venture a prediction as to the date
of the vote on the bill by the senate,
the possibility of sending the bill back
to the house by the first of July is
now generally considered as extremely
remote.
The discussion of the question of a
duty on hides will occupy the atten
tion of the senate for possibly a day
or two before a vote is reached. The
wood pulp amendment offered by the
finance committee, which practically
doubles the duty on wood pulp com
ing from countries which prohibit the
exportation of wood pulp, will be the
next matter taken up for considera
tion. After these two schedules shall
have been disposed of it is understood
that the tax on corporations, proposed
by President Taft, will occupy the at
tention of the senate for several days.
It will provoke much debate.
The disposition of the lumber
schedule and the determination of a
proper duty on pig and scrap iron, as
well as wire nails, must be made by
the senate. The questions of free cot
ton bagging, ties and binding twine
are certain to result in an interest
ing discussion between the western
and southern senators. The house
bill's provision for the free entry of
petroleum and Its products will occupy
considerable time, as will the discus
sion of the duties on wrapper and fil
ler tobacco, pineapples, shoes and
leather, and bituminous coal. The
senate will continue to meet from 10
o'clock in the morning until 7 in the
evening.
While no serious effort will be made
to insure the presence of a quorum at
the sessions of the house on Monday
and Tuesday, if possible, Representa
tive Crumpacker (Indiana), chairman
cf the census committee, will endeavor
to have" the house consider the con
ference report on the census bill. As
senate leaders have Indicated to the
members of the house that they
would prefer to have no legislation
sent to the senate while the tariff bill
is being considered there, the. house
will not take up any measures rwbfcV
might conflict with this request.

Auburn, Neb. Daniel Geilus, state
same warden, was in Auburn Tuesday
and bad ah 'interview with Mayor Mc
Carthy regarding the killing of squir
rels. The mayor informed him that
by order of the city officials a large
number of squirrels had been killed
and that the order was still in effect.
He asked the' warden-to go with him
ind he would kill a couple for him.
The latter notified him that the offend
ers against the game law would be
prosecuted to othe full extent of the
aw.
At this the mayor stepped to the
phone and called up the chief of po
lice and directed him to continue the
slaughter. Some of the dead squirrels
are now in the mayor's office await
ing the action of the warden.
Mayor McCarthy went further and
told the warden that the city of Au
burn ccuid get along withoat any of
his assistance and would csniinue to
kill squirrels. He was also tcld that
ttithin the next ten days 2,e00 squir
rels would be kiiied in the county, as
:he farmers have come to regard them,
not as an expensive luxury, but as a
nuisance, as they were eating many
bushels of high priced corn and in
some cases made holes in the roofs
of granaries and other buildings.
The people of Auburn are somewhat
divided on the question. Some say
:he law should be enforced or repealed.
Others say that the game laws are
modeled after the game laws in force
In old Ireland a century ago and are
only to protect game from gun clubs
and hunters.
Mr. Harmon writes from Chicago
that the children who were taken to
the Pasteur institute for treatment
tor nydrophia because of being bitten
by squirrels, are improving.

ney General Thompson adopted the
new rates and thev will remain in
force until the board makes a more

rates of 1909 apply to new classes of
business that were not listed in 1907,
the rates of 1909 will remain till fur

tablished for bonds of state officers

for another two years.
