But Norton's turn-to defeat his rival
had come. He heldi out a paper to
Haines.
"Senator Langdon gave me this for
yon. I reckon I don't have to match."
The secretary opened the note to
read:

over to the committee room, where I

The secretary looked up, with a
laugh. '
'You win, Norton. I'm off. Good-

THE ANTICIPATIONS
Among Changes in Tariff is Proposed
Cut in Lumber
From Tuesday's Daily.
Washington, March 16.—Among'
the changes in the tariff that , are ex-
pected by well-informed congressmen
is a cut in lumber of $2 to $1. On
coal there are radical differences. One'
coterie advocates a reciprocal ar-
rangement With Canada and another
is opposed to it. Glass and manufac-
tures thereof are pretty sure to suffer
a substantial reduction, as it is un-
derstood the glass trust has

oly of the home market, and is

discrimination. ' • -
It may be taken for granted that
the textile men have little to fear,
from revision, as the revenue from
textiles is tdo large to lose. The raw
wool , men may lose a little and wool
men will be trimmed some; but both
interests could stand a sizable cut '
without being imperilled. $0 strong
is the popular demand that raw ma-
terials will suffer the greatest cut;
