finance committee and Senator Hoke
Smith assured. President Wilson today
that they expected the bill to be ready
(or his signature before, the end of the

of the. tariff measure, however, always
offer opportunity for a rejection of a
conference' report and further deliberations-
on points on which either house
may insist.
Compromise on Cotton Tax.
Democratic leaders from (hie south are
eald to-be agreed on the cotton futures
tax, compromise proposed by Representa
tive Xover and endorsed by Postmaster
General Burleson and Senator Hoke

proposes a smaller tax on cotton for
which the government has fixed stand

protesting against it ,

cussed the cotton ' futures tax with the
president, hut indicated' the senate man
users would not yield to the house on

Large Shipments of
Sheep Enrpute from
Sheridan, Wyoming
SHERIDAN, Wyo., Sept 22.-(Spfcial.)
Between 400 find 60V doubledeck cars of
sheep and lambs wilt be loaded On the
Sheridan division ot the BUrftngton rail
road during this week, practically all
destined for tho South Omaha market
Several hundred cars ot cattle will be
loaded at tho same ttmo for Omaha, and
Chicago.
This week is expected to see the apex ot
stock shipping from this section tor the
year. Cattlo shipments have been heavy
for more than a month, but sheep have
been held longer on account of the ex
cellent mountain range and uncertainty
as to market stability. The week's ship
ments will .be the heaviest not only of
the year, but for several years, exceeding
by 3,000 head the shipments for the cor
responding week last year. The month
is expected to show SpO carloads more
'shipped than during September last year.
The shipments consist largely of lambs
and wethers. In spite of tariff agitation,
sheepmen are generally holding onto
their flocks and breeding and buying
others to replace them. These will be fed
during the winter and sold in the spring.
Lamb feeding has become a recognised
industry In northern Wyoming. Last
year many farmers realised as high as
120 per ton for alfalfa hay by feeding it
to iambs in their fields.
Range conditions have been exception
ally good this summer and all stool: g
being gathered fat Both cattle and
sheep are going direct from the range
to tho killing pens, Instead of into the
feed lots. Range lambs are bringing J8
per 100 weight in South Omaha and Chi
cago, while cattle are sold correspond
ingly will. Thero is still plenter of 'grass
on range and mountain and stock cattle
and sheep are being left there later than
usual.
Omaha is the natural market for
stock from this district.. Shipments can
be made with but one stopover-for feed
ing and- rest . and stock arrives in the
best possiblo'condltion. Probably 90 per
cent Of all 'shipments from here are to
Omaha,' the rest going on to Chicago..

Eighteen West Point
Cadets Are Liable
to Court-Marjjjjal
WASHINGTON. Sept 23.-Elghteen, ca
dets at West. Point now under purilshi
rnebt . for hazing, will lay themselves
liable to court-martial by appealing to
Secretary Garrison without first com
plaining to the superintendent of,-tho
military academy, Tho first complaint
reached Washington' today through a
congressman.
The cadets contend they are being pun
ished for merely obeying their orders in
drilling lower classmen. vThey are
charged, however, with Violating a regu
lation which forbids any cadet .to. force
a lower classman to assume "any
"ridiculous or humiliating posture."
War department officials say that forc
ing the unfortunate freshman to puff
out his chest or draw In his chin to a'
painful position comes under the head
of "deviling" youngsters and not drill
regulations.

the town of Venado and routed a federal
force of sixty men at Laguna Seca. The
rebels reached Charcas on Sunday well
armed with dynamite. The attack on tho
train this morning is presumed to have
been made by the same band.

NEW YORK, Sept 22,-The body ot
Mayor. Gaynor was taken at 10:S0 o'clock
this morning from its resting place In
the city hall to Trinity tnurch, where
Bishop Greer read over it the solemn
Episcopal service tor tr-.o burial of the
dead.
Many thousand citizens blackened tho
sidewalk from curb to building line as
the funeral train crept along the ten
blocks of lower Broadway from the city
hall to the .church. The low-lying clouds
lifted shortly before the long cortege
started, and over the inarch to the church
the sun. shone fitfully.
Heading the throng of marchers was a
single lino -of eight mounted police. Be
hind them came tho police band playing
the dead march, a regiment of mounted
police, twelve abreast, and another regi
ment ot police on foot In lines that
stretched across Broadway from curb to
curb. Next was. the cetfln.
. With the official flag of the mayor
draped oVer Its head, the coffin lay,
ten feet above' the roadway on a
catafalque, whose sombre folds ot crepe
were unrelieved by color. A great wreath
of white chrysanthemums lay'on the right
of 'the casket, another wreath of orchids
and , ferns lay on tho left and a third
rested on tho dead mayor's ftet
Drnnn by Sixteen Blne Horaea.
Sixteen cSal' black horses, heavy with
black trAPPlnga, flanked on the right by u
single file ot police, on the left by fire
men, drew .the catafalque through the
street As the coffin passed between the
two walls of. spectators, held to the curb
by an unbroken line of police, every man
bared his head and only the blue capped
patrolfenien remained covered. Of these
there, were 6,000 In tho line of march or
oh .duly along the way of the funeral
train.
The twelvo honorary pall bearers,
headed' by WltHatri.H. Taft, marched six

Another Service at St. Pant'.
So silent stood the throngs of spectators
that the tblllng ot the . bell In the tower
ot Trinity could be hourd at tho City Hall
when the cbrtege started. Tens of thou
sands Stood silently about tho church dur
ing the service. The seating capacity ot
860 was Insufficient to provide for even a
small fraction of the thousands who
sought admittance. An overflow meet
ing Was held in St Paul's church, half
a dozen blocks awiy.
After halting at the church while the
body was taken from the catafalque to
the chancel on the shoulders of six fire
men and nix policemen, (he funeral train
marched to the-Battery, turning back and
standing still till the .-aniluslon ot tbe

to Greenwood cemetrey, in Brooklyn.
The city's industries marked time dur
