PROTECTION LITERATURE.
Great Work Mapped out for the Ameri

can IarlH League.
New YORK. Nov. 30.-From now on
until after the next presidential election,
the American Protective Tariff league
proposes to work as it has never worked
before to strengthen in every state in
the Union the cause of which Major
Mckinley is the especial champion and
standard bearer. During the year end
ing in September last, it sent out 5000,
600 pages of tariff literature, but even
this immense total will be doubled or
trebled in the next ten months.
The league has 1000 official CORE
spondents scattered over the country,
and to each of these a circular is shortly
to be sent, asking for their opinions re-
garding the best methods of promoting a
whirlwind Of tariff enthusiasm as pre-
lude to the Republican national conven-
ton in June. Hon. Carnelius N. Bliss,
the millionaire banker, who has just
been elected president of the league, has
determined to devote goodly portion Of
his time to It's interests, and soon after
the commencing of the year tariff cam
paign VIII have been inaugurated in

What 1t Means and Row 10 Was BponmAt
About.

LONDON, Nov. 80.-According TO q
semi-oficial statement based ON M.
DeGiers' declarations to Chancellor
Caprivi, the Russian statesmans recent
interviews With President Carnot, NJ.
de Frevcinet, premier and minister Of
war, and NJ Ribot, minister Of foreign
affairs, resulted in definite agreement
for an exclusively defensive alliance.
The entente agreed upon, according to
the statement quoted, differs on one most
essential point from the triple alliance
treaty, inasmuch as while that makes the
European status quo the basis of the
maintenance of peace, the Russo French
entente aims at what M. DeGiers has
called "Respect for Treaties" meaning
especially the restoration of Russia grip
on Bulgaria and British evacuation Of
Egypt.
M. DeGiers has further communicate
ed the fact that no treaty has as yet been
signed, and has intimated that the
French ministers desire the conclusion
of the formal contract, as alone properly
defining future responsibilities and rem
dering it possible to pursue distinct
policy before Europe, while, at the Same
time avoiding the reproach of cherish
ing warlike designs.
Some of these official assurances from
the Berlin embassy are that the Paris
conference Of M. DeGiers, instead Of
having an empty character, as was gen.
orally reported, have resulted In a
scheme to maintain diplomatic warfare
against the dreibund and England,
awaiting a more propitious period for
engaging in actual war.

The STATUS OF FOREIGNERS.

The Chilean Foreign Minister utters
half-truth when he says that foreign resi-
dents sometimes desire to impose upon the
Government under which they reside an
obligation to protect them from disastrous
events to which citizens Of the country are
subject An instance Of this desire may be
found in the demand made by the Italian
Government for indemnity for the lives of
Italians uDlawfuily killed at New Orleans.
The Italian Government acted on the pre-
sumption that the American Government
was bound to afford Italians degree of pro-
lection not afforded to American citizens.
Secretary Blaine's answer to the Italian de-
mand was to the effect that in the absence
OF prejudice against the victims on account
OF nationality, foreigners must abide by the
laws as they apply to American citizens,
The case OF the attack upon the sailors of
the Baltimore forms the exception Mr.,
Blaine provided for. The attack upon the
Baltimore sailors was on account of preju-
dlces against their nationality. 1t has not
yet been shown that there was other cause
for the attack. The right of Government
TO secure to its citizens in foreign coun-
tries the degree Of protection TO life and
property to that enjoyed by its own citizens
should not be questioned. The exercise of
such guardianship is necessary to friendly
Intercourse among nations. But there Is
ground for the claim that a Government
should not be required to extend over for
eigners protection it does not give its own
people. To make an example, the Italian
Government in the New Orleans affair had a
right to know that Italians had not been
killed because they were Italians, but it
could not enforce a claim that Italians,
more than Americans, should be exempt
from the consequences of their own acts

jOurned yesterday afternoon to meet again
in this city in April.
Statistics compiled by the Secretary show
a total membership OF the organization in
California of 10000, with 475 lodges, located
throughout the thirty three countiea.
The numerical strength of the order is in
creasing rapidly, $50 new members being re-
ported last month from Sacramento County
alone. The Alliance is most popular in agri-
cultural counties composed OF small hold
ings, the large landowners rather standing
aloof San Joaquin has the largest county
membership, followed by Ventura, Los An
geleS, San Diego, Santa Clara aud Sacra-
ment0.
feature Of the State agency work is the
provision for two order days each month, on
when members Will be furnished supplies
and machinery at cost, commission of 8
per cent being added to defray the cost of
the agency maintenance.
Yesterday afternoon the committee again
met the Executive Committee of the Traffic
Association Tor consideration of their mu-
tual aims. 1t was agreed that a memner of
the Alliance committee should be elected to
the committee of the association to secure
agricultural representation.

STATESMAN SPRINGER.

While it cannot be positively asserted that
Mr.. Springer elected Mr.. Crisp Speaker.
Springer certainly cast the vote that elected
Crisp. Probably there was stage in the
contest when Springer might have elected
Mills. 1t is assured now that the powerful
agency of Springer in the election of Crisp
to the Chair will be recognized by the tender
of the craftsmanship of the Committee on
Ways and Means. 1t is.rumored that Mills
is not in an amiable frame of mind and will
decline the craftsmanship il 1t should be OF
fered him. 1t is likely, therefore, that
Springer will report to the House whatever
tariff legislation the dominant party may
deem desirable. Springer seems inclined to
realize the expectation that the tariff would
be attacked in detail under Crisps leader
ship. The illinois statesman is now reported
as saying that general revision of the tariff
would be inadvisable. He would put GER
tain articles of raw material on the free list
and then appoint a committee to make a
study of the tariff question. In this way the
tariff issue may be carried over and submit
ted TO the next Congress If the Democratic
party has not lost faith in the tariff as a
Presidential issue the present Congress
should frame bill to offer the people next
year as the alternative of the Mckinley
tariff. No bill the present House may for
mulate would become law, but it would
show the country where the Democratic
party stands on the important question
OF affOrding protection to American labor
Under Mr.. Springer's plan as outlined the
Democratic party would go before the coun-
try as in favor of the Mckinley tariff with
some few amendments. The Democrats
must admit however, that taking a few
articles from the protected list and putting
them on the free list does not offer vital
issue. The committee he processes to want
is pretext. A Senate Committee has been
for nearly two years collecting the facts
which Mr.. Springer deems necessary as the
basis of a new tariff bill. As Senator Car
Isle is member of that committee the pre-
sumption is that its work will be we'll done.
