Washington, July 30.--The long ex­ pected and carefully prepared answer of the Taft faction to the -reiterated charges that the president "stole the nomination at Chicago" was issued from the White House Sunday. It is the longest and probably the most complete political statement ever put out from the executive mansion. "An examination of the facts" con­ cludes the statement, "shows that the tribunals were right in every instance. There is not the slightest evidence that they were moved by other than a mere desire to reach a right conclu­ sion On the other hand, the action of the Roosevelt men in bringing 160 contests that they promptly aban­ doned strongly tended to show the lack of good faith in the prosecution of all of them. Those who support President Taft can well afford to stand on the record in these cases."

Washington, July 30.--The first purely Republican revision measure of the present congress, a Republican sugar tariff bill, was passed in the senate Saturday night. The sugar bill was a compromise between the Lodge plan, Indorsed by the regular Republicans, and the Brls­ tow bill, behind which the progres­ sives lined up. It would cut the pres­ ent sugar duty of $1.90 to $1.60; would abolish the Dutch standard, under which practically no refined sugar can be imported, and would abolish the cent "refiners' differential," an ad­ ditional duty on refined' sugar, which, It is claimed, has accrued directly to the profit of the sugar refiners. Ft Is estimated that the sugar tariff reduction, if it becomes effective, will reduce government customs receipts about $5,500,000, while its saving in the retail sugar bill of the nation is estimated at $20,000,000. The Democratic free sugar bill passed by the house did not come to vote in the senate. The Bristow-Lodge amendment was first adopted in the committee of the whole by a vote of 37 to 25.

The final vote was 52 to 3, the negative votes being cast by Senators Heybtirn, Re­ publican, and Foster and Thornton, Democrats. The senate bill would reduce the duty on Cuban sugar, which comes In under the reciprocity treaty at $1.34, to about $1.20 per hundred pounds. The maximum reduction of duty on all refined sugar is three-tenths of a cent a pound. ' Washington, July 29.--By a vote of 7 to 25. the senate in its considera­ tion of the excise bill repealed the reciprocity law in its entirely and levied a duty of two dollars a ton on print paper here Friday night.
