LONDON, Dec. 3l.-A news agency
announces that the British naval re.
serve will be modified.
According to recent estimates the re-.
serve forces of the British navy number
about 900 men OF this number it is
calculated that at least 10000 men
would be required in case of war to
complete the manning Of the warships
of Great Britain, which are understood
to require complement of 10, 600 men.
whereas only 100000 are actually in
service
The naval reserve problem has long
been discussed by British authorities
and the general opinion appears to be
that the number of men available is
far short of the number that would be
required in case of war.
In addition to the men in the naval
reserve. Great Britain has a large re.

derstand why Mr.. Dingley should seek
to provide for $4,000 900 of revenue
when the deficit amounts to but $685.

-Smotherng the people by pro-
lection will bring about free trade
quicker than anything else. The people
submitted to protection with fairly
good grace until they got an overdose in
1880, and they turned toward tariff re-
form for relief. The relief from Ding
ley ism is likely to be free trade.-Utica
Observer.
Us it not curious that power should
be given to the president to remit duties
ON goods from countries that sign reci-
procity agreements, and that the same
power to remit duties en- articles con-
trolled by trusts should be denied him?
Perhaps an answer to the question may
be found in the fact that the managers
of the trusts. who have made large con-
tributions to the republican campaign
fund, are apprehensive that republic
on servant of theirs would not always
sit in the presidential hair.-Rocheste
IN. ~ Herald
The retroactive clause in the
Dingley tariff bill as passed by the
house is simply another defiance of fate
by extremists who are intoxicated with
a wholly fortuitous grasp of power.
II it were possible TO believe that the
senate would adopt this rnoHstrous pro-
vision the effect Upon trade and upon
customs receipts would be simply
paralyzirg. The adoption of such an
unheard-of provision simply betrays the
eagerness OF the tariff trainers to give
the trusts and moropolies an immediate
control of our markets. They cannot
wait even to pass the new schedules Of
extortion in the usual way. - N. z.

course, these movements were imme-

hardships imposed upon them as re-
suit of the rioting last year in Asiatic
Turkey.
After his interview with the presi-
dent, Mr.. Foster, was asked the direct
question whether or not he was to go
to Turkey. He replied that he had
supposed the declination of the sultan
to create an embassy in Washington
made it iInpracticable for the presi-

determination.
WASHINGTON. April 9.-The admins
tration proposes to lose no time in tax
ing up the fur seal controversy. The
Associated Press has learned that at
the cabinet meeting on Tuesday it was
decided, after full discussion between
the president and Secretary Sherman,
ID invite Mr.. John w. Foster to take
charge of the conduct of these matters
under the direction OF the secretary of
state, and that Mr.. G. S. Hamlin, re-
tlrlng assistant secretary of the treas
ury, who has given the question care
tul study for the past four years, will
be asked to cooperate on behalf of the
treasury department.
1t is known that the president has
taken the liveliest interest in this mat
ter,and there is every reason to believe
that there will now be what Russia
has long desired. hearty cooperation

high regard entertained for Mr. Foster
in Russia and his intimate knowledge
OF the seal question, obtained through
his conduct of the case of the United
States before the Paris tribunal of
arbitration, especially fits him for the
delicate task assigned him by the presi-
dent.
The continued diminution and
threatened determination of the seal
herd, reported by Prof. Jordan as the
result of his Investigations on the seal
islands last year, is said to greatly con-
Germ the president, and probably the
hrst step made will be an attempt to
secure a renewal of the modus vivendi
of 1891 to which the United States,
Russia and England would be parties.
This will suspend all killing in Behring
sea until next year when, under the
terms of the Paris award, the regula-
tions now in force will be recon
sidered with view to their modifi-
cation. Failing to secure a modus
vivendi, it is believed the government
Will apply all its resources to protect
the herd as much as it can from in jury
pending negotiations. The branding
of female and pups, thus destroying
their pelts, so successfully expert
mented with last year, will doubtless
be resorted to on the largest possible
scale.
just what effect branding will have
on the legal status of these animals
will be an interesting question for tho
next tribunal to consider.

Senator Warren Comments Upon the State
ment of Senator Chandler on Tariff Du-
ties.
WASHINGTON, April Recommending
on Senator Chambers statement of
Wednesday in regard to the possible
failure of the tariff bill because of too
high rates, Senator Warren, of Wyo-
ming, said:
Il do not consider it entirely fair,
and certainly not judicious, to impute
at this time to western senator's dis
position to be extreme in their tariff
views, or to insinuate that the tariff
bill will fail because of radical de-
mands for western interests. Such a
presumption would certainly be preIna-
ture and would tend to demoralize rath-
er than to intimidate, as perhaps in
tended.
1.-THE tariff bill will fail, as it ought
to fail, if it is sectional and partial
and does not equitably recognize agri-
cultural, mining and lumber interests,
as well as others. Eastern interests
are always well represented at the
capital by competent experts in all
eastern economic lines; they are in con-
tinual attendance on the committees, so
IIldG 0dSGSTu SSndGOTS anu congressman
do not have much left to contend for be-
fore the committees having charge of
tariff bills, and the duties being ar
ranged satisfactorily for them in COM
mittee, they need make but little eff.
fort on the floor while tariff bills are
under consideration. On the other
hand, the agricultural and western in
terests are not thus represented;
but feeling that they are entitled to
consideration. they appeal to their rep
resentatives in congress, and thus west
ern senators have greater responsible
ties and more to do than eastern sena-
tors in contending for just scale of
import duties. But their activity must
not be taken as hostility.
IF it be decided that one section of
the country must take buzzard while
another demands turkey in order to re-
form the tariff. then reformation would
better be delayed, regrettable as such
a result would be, and to none more re.
gre table than to the western senator's

Republican Opposition to the Ding
Lev Bill Curtniled.

Republican Opposition TO the D4n$~
ley Bill Curtailed.
It is likely that, if the republicans in
the house were really free men, there
would have been many more protests
against the Dingley bill from the ma
iority side than were recorded. For it
is to be observed that where the iron
rule does not operate to check express
sion of opinion, republicans are freely
condemning this latest manifestation
of republican disregard for the wishes
and the rights of the people. In fact,
for the past four years leading repub-
licaE papers all over the country have
been at pains to deprecate any further
attempt to force the republican party
into commitment to tariff policy that
is not only antagonistic to the COM
mercia1 and industrial interests of the
country, but which was cordially dis
approved by the people in two general
elections. The evil of McKinleyism,
which stirred up this republican oppo-
sition to proscriptive tariffs, was less of
an evil than this proposed assault on
the people, for the reason that it did
not go so far as does Dingleyism in the
direction of delivering the masses
wholly over to the trusts and the capt.
talists.
That the republican opposition in the
house to the Dingley bill is wholly dis
proportionate to the republican opposi-
ton throughout the country is due sim
ply to the fact that only very few
members of the majority have dared to
say what they think about it or to vote
as they think. They are protectionists,
of course, for the most part, at least.
but they doubtless understand that this
bill proposes something worse than pro-
tectionism; that it goes far beyond the
protective limit, even as it is estab-
lished in republican policy. 1t passes,
however. at the crack of the whip, I'M
der which the majority is cowed.-Bing-

men entered early yesterday morning
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Ford, an aged couple, living at Parker
town, near this city, and, after binding
and gagging them, attempted at the
point of revolvers to make them reveal
the hiding place of their money. They
would not do so, and after a long
search the robbers found 500 in money
and other valuables. Some time after
ward Mrs Ford worked loose from the
bindings and released her husband.
He notified the neighbors of the out
rage, and a posse was formed. Mr..
and Mrs. Ford are in a critical condi-

Opposition to Ding1eyism Even
Among the PrOtectiOnists.
The criticism of the cotton and
wooden schedule of the Dingley bill
by republican Congressman Mccall and
Lowering, of Massachusetts,, is but a
faint indication of the dissatisfaction
with this extreme measure among mod
crate protectionists. Both these men,
bers pronounced the duties to be too
high-more than the manufacturers

Certainly Mckinley
tariff, as it has been demonstrated that
the Dingley bill would be. will not
stand. The Dingleyites appear to have
forgotten 1890 and 1892.
In replying to the criticisms of his
own party colleagues Mr.. Dingley re-
peated the old sophistry that 1.-The pro-
lection afforded is only such as is neces-
sary to equalize the labor conditions
i'll the United States and those prevail
ing in other producing countries. :"
Does Mr.. Dingley pretend to say that
there is a difference of so per cent. of
the full value of the goods between the
labor cost here and abroad? Has he for
gotten that another Maine statesman
James G. Blaine-certified as secretary
CT state that the labor cost in American
cottons was less than in goods made
in England? Is the total labor cost in
woolens anywhere equal to Mr.. Ding
ley's duties? Can he mention the coun-
