lows:
You have handed me a copy of the

among organizations devoted to the OBJ
jects of the Republican party, for whose
candidates I have voted from the begin

national safety and the preservation of

vania, arrived hurriedly today. Mr..
Krebs is one of the partners in the
san Bernardino Borax Works on the
Mojave Desert, 70 miles from Mojave.
He will represent before the commit
tee all the borax industries of Cali
fornia. Nevada and Oregon. One point
he will make is that the Wilson bill is
really responsible for the Borax Trust,
for while under the Mckinley tariff
small concerns could operate, under
the low tariff only the trust was able
to produce the article. He will argue
for a return of the Mckinley duty. Pos
sibly J. H Flickinger of San Jose will
be in the East at the time set for the
hearings. in which case he may appear
before the committee in the interests

negotiations between the United States
and Great Britain for a treaty of gen
eral arbitration covering all subjects
of difference between the two English
speaking nations, present and prospec-

of Secretary Olney and Sir Julian
Pauncefote is to conclude the negotia-
tions within the next three weeks. All
of the substantial features of the
treaty have been agreed on. From
the present status of the negotiations
it is believed the following will be the
important terms of the treaty:
First-A term of five years from the
date of the exchange of ratification
within which the treaty shall be ope-
rative.
Second-A court OF arbitration of six
members, three to be drawn from the
judiciary of the United States and three
from the judiciary OF GTedI bTlIdIn.
Third-The submission to this tri-
bunaI of what differences between the
two nations now pending or to arise
within the period of five years, this

ton or the Venezuela question now be
fore independent commissions, but to

Session.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-"I can see
no use in further taking the time of the
Senate in consideration of this measure
The good Senator from Ohio thus pro-
nounced the last words over the grave
of the DingIey bill this afternoon. They
came at the end of a hot battle which
killed and laid away the tariff measure.
After Vest, frye and Allen had delivered
sharp speeches, Senator Sherman pre-
scented the tariff side strongly, and gave
way to Teller, who set forth the silver
mems claim that the Dingley measure
was intended solely for political effect.
He in turn made place for German, who,
after a short review, plainly told the Re-
publican side of the chamber that there
could be no tariff legislation during the
present session. Then it was that SEN
ator Sherman pronounced the last words.
Meanwhile the preparation of a bill,
which will be passed at the extra ses-
and the Democrats in today's debate said
they would put no obstacle in the way of
it's speedy passage.
The debate was the most exciting that
either branch of Congress has heard in
a long time. 1t brought forward the rec
ognized leaders of the various parties,
including Sherman, Frye Teller, Cor
Oregon, Chandler, Hale and Allen in no.
table statements on the leading questions
which have engaged the attention of
Congress and the country of late.

California Men Sharp After Tariff
Legislation.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 18.-Res-
olutions, memorials and appeals are
being received daily by the members
of the California delegation asking for
the protection of California industries
in the new tariff bill, and the passage
of the Dingley bill. The latter were
sent by mail before it was known that
the Dingley bill was dead. The fact
that no tariff legislation is possible at
this session gives the advocates Of =
higher tariff more time to prepare pleas
for duties The hearings to come dur
ing the holidays, while fixing the
schedules for the report, will be prac-
tically only the basis Of the report.
