The United States army transport Buford, loaded with provisions for the famine sufferers in north China, sailed Sunday for Chin-klanflying pennants of the National Red Cross, the Christian Herald of New York and the Seattle Commercial club. The last available cargo space was filled late Saturday night when 400 bags of rice, purchased with a contribution of $10,000 telegraphed from Reading, Pa., were stowed away by longshoremen, who loaded the relief ship free of charge. The cargo of the Buford, valued at $30,000 and contrib uted by organizations and citizens from all parts of the United States, will keep 30,000 starving Chinese alive until the new corps are ready for harvest next June.

Congress provided funds to continue the work of the temporary tariff board for another year. It was at the request of the Democrats of the house and senate that President Taft fixed the date of the extra session on April 4. There Is little doubt now that the Democrats of the house will undertake to revise at least two or three of the schedules of the Payne-Aldrlc- h tariff act, and there is every reason also to believe the bills will be favorably received in the new senate, How long the extra session will last is problematical. While the new congress may promptly ratify the reciprocity agreement, some Democrats are in favor of withholding confirmation until two or three new tariff schedules are ready. If tariff differences should arise - between the new house and the senate the session unquestionably would be a long one. The old congress ended amid scenes of extraordinary excitement and un certainty. In the bouse the disorder at ,times in the closing hours, when the successful filibuster sgainst the tariff board bill was In progress, became almost a riot. Retiring Speaker Cannon was eulogized by Champ Clark, who will be the next speaker of the house, Mr. Clark characterizing Speaker Cannon as a "great bis'orical character," and ending his remarks with the declaration that "we all wish for the retiring Cur, cr vnost unscrupulous conspiracies for be defamation of character ' that hh. ory can show.
