' ' y.->- Washington.--fey a vote of 45 to 34 the senate, Thursday night, passed the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill. President Taft arrived in Washing­ ton Friday and at once began a con­ ference with leaders to rush the meas­ ure through. The vote on tite,bill was: Teas--Aldfich, Borah; Bourse, Brad­ ley, Brandegee, Briggs, Bulkley, Burn- Bam, Burrows, Burton, Carter, Clark (Wyo.), Crane, Depew, Dick, Dixon, Dupont, Elkins, Flint, Frye, Gallinger, Gamble, Guggenheim, Hale, Heyburn, Johnson (N.

D.), Stone, Taliaferro, Tay­ lor--34. The failure of the senate to keep the promise made to the people by the Republican party respecting a re­ vision of the tariff downward was the theme of Senator Beveridge as the debate was drawing to a close. "Our votes," he said, "shall be cast in harmony with our party's pledges as voiced by our party's leader and the nation*^ president." Senator .Beveridge was answered by Senator Aldrich, who said he had often sees men interpret their own judg­ ment as the judgment of their party. "The Republican party is a party of majorities," he added, "and the views of the majority in matters of legisla­ tion control party policies. The sen­ ator from Indiana does not speak for the Republican party. He has no right to call here the name of the president of the United 8tates in sup­ port of any suggestion which he has made." Senator Aldrich declared that the pending bill was a fulfillment of the party's pledge. If senators wished to vote against the 4)111, iie said, they should not attempt to speak for their party. As it passed the senate the bill con­ tains almost 400 paragraphs. The senate made 840 amendments to the house provisions, many of which were added Thursday when the senate sat continuously from ten o'clock in the morning until 11:18 at night, stopping neither for luncheon nor dinner. The most interesting occurrences of the sitting were the adoption of amendments by Senator Bradley of Kentucky and Senator Curtis of Kan­ sas, the former exempting tobacco "In the hand" from the internal revenue tax of six cents a pound, and the lat­ ter placing a countervailing duty on crude petroleum shipped from coun­ tries which impose duty on oil impor­ tations from the United States. The action on tobacco was a real Bur- prise as the senate has frequently re­ fused, to remove the tax. SenatSr La Follette's tariff commis­ sion amendment -watt rejected by a viva voce vote. Asking that they be considered as a single amendment, Senator La Follettee offered a large number of changes to the woolen schedule, substituting a#-- valorem duties for specific rates. They were voted down. Upon motion of Senator Aldrich, the vice-president announced the senate conferees as follows: Senators Aid- rich, Burrows, Penrose, Hale, Cullom, Republicans, and Daniel, Money and Bailey, Democrats. 2 A professor of political economy and Sociology In a prominent university *as been sued for divorce by his wife on ^ccount of his- peculiar theories.

Teheran, Persia --In the first great battle of the conflict the Shah's troops were defeated Sunday iy the Persian Nationalists. The battle was fought withio 15 miles of Teheran and. the capital city, fearing invasion by the rebels, is in a panic-. The strug­ gle lasted several hours and it Is esti­ mated that 150 of the government forces were slain. For more than two hours the posi­ tion of the untrained forces of the Na­ tionalists 'vas under the fire of four guns. Their single piece of artillery, however, was used to good advantage and the canonading of the enemy was silenced. , . >• The shah's troops immediately brought up a number of quick firing guns and Maxims. Under cover of this gallant fire a force of several hundred Persian Cossacks, commanded by offi­ cers of the Russian army, charged the eminence on which the N&ionaMata were located. Their single gun wair again put; to play, and terrific damage was done when several shells were dropped in the midst of the advancing cavalry. The Nationalists infantry meantime kept close under cover, and not until the hoof-beats of the horses told them that the enemy was upon them did they open fire. Volley after volley was fired. The aim of the citizen soldiers was good, and the Cossacks, panic-stricken, turned their horses' heads, retreating in disorder, leaving more than fifty of their number dead and wounded. Another attack was attempted, the shah's troops, 1,200 strong, assaulting the position. The result was the same. , The shah's men retire* in disorder to await the arrival of the Russian troops, which are reported to have reached Kazvin, 86 miles from Teher­ an. A joint atack is then expected. ! WIND STORMS RUBE ' V ' * * • } 'J MISSOURI, ILLINOIS jfeflD OHIO «ARj| SWEPT BY TERRtF ' CYCLONES. teRIL£ SHIPS' PASSENGERS FIND SPICY SNELL LETTERS. Cant Be Used But May Aid Prosecu­ tion--Some Are from Mrs. McNamara. Bloomington, 111.--That Col. Snell neglected to destroy letters that he re­ ceived from women has developed in the announcement by lawyers for the disinherited son that a large number of spicy missives were located in an unused closet in the old mansion lo­ cated in the northern section of Clin­ ton. The old man doubtless received the£e letters while he was an occu­ pant of the homestead a few years be­ fore his death. The letters will be examined by the lawyers for the con­ testant but it is feared that they will not be of any value due to the de­ cision of the supreme court when the oase was'sent back for another trial. The upper court took occasion to de­ clare such letters ineligible, referring particularly to those credited to Mabel Snell McNamara and to the wife of Rev. Hamilton. It was held that let­ ters received by the old man could not be construed as affecting his men­ tality. Some of the newly-discovered let­ ters are in the handwriting of Mabel Snell McNamara upon whom the mil­ lionaire lavished thousands of dollars. CATHOLIC EDUCATORS MEET.
