WITHOUT RECIPROCITY WASHINGTON, July 22.—When the Senate met to-day the tariff de bate was resumed, and Senator Smoot, of Utah, completed the ad dress he began yesterday. He attack ed first the action of the Democrats in placing meats, cattle, hides, wool, etc., on the free list, declaring that such action is only playing into the hands of the “beef barons" and throt tling competition. The importation of meats and cat tle free of duty, he said, will give a tremendous advantage to Canada, Mexico and Argentina at the expense of the American farmer. 8care6 Auto Rate Cut. Senator Smoot argued that the chief advocates of the low rates of tariff, both before the House and the Senate, have been the importers. Of reduced duties upon automobiles, Senator Smoot said: “Just why the European manufac turers should have any consideration in fixing this or any other duty is be yond the comprehension of any fair- minded American citizen. But they figure very extensively in this fixing of the rates on automobiles, occupy.- ing many pages of the hearings, and filing threats which, if made else where by Americans, would be con sidered insolent." Gave More Than Asked. He added that the Italian Chamber of Commerce in New York had ask ed merely for a reduction of 5 per cent on automobiles, hut that the Democrats had conceded 15 per cent. In the cotton schedule, Senator Smoot insisted that the Northern manufacturers had been discriminat ed against and the Southern produc ers had been favored. The Northern manufacturers make the finer grades of goods, he said. He declared that American mill workers must com pete with the cheap Asiatic labor of Japan In manufacturing cotton goods. Says Trusts Won’t Suffer. American clock and watch manu facturers, manufacturers of window glass, of pottery and of gloves, all are treated harshly by the proposed law, said Senator Smoot. The action of the Democrats, he said, meant the loss of work to thousands employed at present in these industries •TW. first Industries to suffer from this bill will not be the great trusts, but the independent manufacturers having small capital and making goods requiring the highest type of workmanship,” he said.

Mutinous Swiss Soldiers Threat en to Break Into Private Chamber of Pontiff- Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. ROME. July 22.—After 24 hours of wild, rioting by the Pope’s Swiss guards, during which the men were shorn of their military powers at the Vatican, order was restored to-day. The demands of the soldiers, which caused the mutiny, will not be grant ed. The soldiers had asked conces sions raising the embargo against them visiting wine shops and other stores along the Tiber; the right to choose their own commander; the In crease of the guards’ quota, and a demand that no punishment be meted out to them for their mutinous con duct. The guards, incensed at the official order depriving them of their military status, stormed the Vatican, and for a time it was feared that the Italian troops quartered In the city would have to be called out to quell the dis turbance. Great alarm was felt among the Vatican officials for fear that the sol diers would force their way into the Pope’s private chambers. Drastic measures were taken to guard His Holiness from the angry soldiers, as* grave fears were enter tained that the Pontiff, still weakened from the effects of his recent illness, would suffer a relapse should the soldiers force their way Into his pres ence. What punishment will be meted to the mutineers still Is undecided, but it was unofficially stated that severe penalties would be inflicted. Athens Man Dies in Old Scotland Home ATHENS.

DEFY ATLANT A IF Pair Captured in Carrol Street Store Just in Time to Save Clerk. Telegrams Monday ordered John G. Mobley, of Winnsboro, S. C., to ship the thirteen ponies necessary to complete the herd of 22 which The Georgian and American will give away after the close of its con test, July 31. Within a few days, the special car bringing the Shetlands should ar rive. According to the expert who went to Winnsboro and picked them out, they are a feast for the eyes. Mr. Mobley has a plantation of 1,400 acres. Of this area, 450 acres of wood lot are used as a pony farm. Just now, he has 100 head of ponies, which have been roaming the woods and the rich pasture, and, these hot days, seeking the shady tangles. The Georgian and American were offered their pick of the entire five score ponies. Twenty negroes, mounted on mules, started at 8 o’clock in the morning to round them up. By 1 o’clock they had the 100 little fellows on the summit of a hill where Mr. Mobley Is accustomed to give them salt. From this knoll they were driven to the pens, and the best fifteen were selected. All are sound, gentle, affectionate and well trained. They vary sufficiently in markings, colors and size to please all tastes. Perhaps the pick of the hunch is "Flash,” who looks like a race horse, and is as fast as his name. Every one of the ponies is worth well above $100, and with each goes a guarantee of good health and free dom from blemish. If the boys and girls are enthusi astic about the ponies already in At lanta, they will he . wildly excited over the newcomers, it is predicted, for they are believed to be, if any thing, a little better than those first purchased.
