strong argument In favor of their organl-
zation.
"a representative of the World called
upon the Archbishop Of Canterbury in ref
erence to the lynching, and OBJ
tanned the following signed statement:
The practice Of iynching cannot but be re-
garded with reprobation as lowering the

passion as the criminals whom they are

Mrs Ormlston Chant was also seen and
said: I deeply deprecate this outbreak In
Ohio. as such deeds always rctard the

THE WOOL TARIFF
Growers and Manufacturers Fall to Reach an
Agreement


WASHINGTON, Feb. 11-After Sc
ries of conferences extending over sew
eral days the wool growers and wool
manufacturers have failed to adjust
their differences over the rates Of duty
to be recommended with the ways and
means committee for the new tariff bill
now in process of formation and have
departed for their homes. These diff
erences the two bodies found to be tr-
reconcilable, the growers being un-
willing to consent to rates at which they
declare they cannot continue to produce
wool with profit, and the manufacturers
considering the rates of growers were
higher than proper.
According to the statements OF the
manufacturers, the growers named the
following as the very lowest rates or
duty they were willing to accept in re-
turn for support of the manufacturers:
Twelve cents pound on class and
wools; double duty on washed and triple
duty on secured; cents>a pound on all
carpet woods and double and triple du-
ty on washed and secured and cents
a pound additional duty on all skirted
WOODS.
The growers assert that these rates
are the lowest that would project the
industry to such an extent as to puilo
up the breeding OF sheep aiAu yAe prouuc-
ton OF wool in this county. The manu-
facturers on the other hand declare that
sucn a tariff would be disastrous to thair
industry.

head of the bed was one revolver and
on the floor near the bed was another
One chamber had been discharged from
the pistol on the table. On the table was
note written with lead pencil The

a notebook In substance the note said
that the captain left his respects to the
people and friends, and regretted the
act he was about to commit. How he
came in possession Of the pistols is not
yet known. The captain was taken to
the hospital last month by friends
About the middle Of January he became
insane and it was found necessary to
have Mm confined. He was taken to a
room on the second floor of the building,
with window opening on Second ave-
nue.. He had mental trouble for months
before it developed into insanity, and On
his being removed to the hospital he
was so violent it was found necessary
to place him in a straight jacket. DR..
Hammond attributed his condition to
wounds received in the battle of the
Yalu river.
Mr.. McGiffen was born in Washington,

says that 1t is stated that Austria will
demonstrate with Greece against the
dispatch of the torpedo fiotilla to Canea
under the command of Prince George.
The papers this morning are full of long
kilograms from European capitals and
editorials dealing with the gravity of the
situation in Crete and expressing fears
of war betYeen Turkey and Greece.
A dispatch to the Chronicle from
Rome says that the report that the Rus
sian fleet on the Black sea Is approach
ing the Bosphorus, has been confirmed.
Daily News special from Heraklion
says that on the request of the foreign
commanders, the Turkish officials there
promise to allow free exit to the Chris
tians, but Mussulman mob closed the
town gates. AS the town Is encircled
by water the Christians are cut of with
out hope unless the town should be bonn
barded. in which case the situation would
be equally critical for Christians as well
as Turks.
Chronicle dispatch from Vienna says
that the powers after comforting with
each other all day decided to reinforce
the squadron in Greek waters and ap-
parently agreed to prevent the union
of Crete and Greece or anything likely
to lead to a rupture between Greece and
Turkey.
The Daily News correspondent at
Noie also says: i learn tnat although
the powers have admonished Greece
against precipitating war, they have
given her to understand that IL she sue
ceeds in occupying Crete they will not
object to the accomplished fact"

tire Mohammedan population of NAL
evsi, Temenos, Pfrgiotisa and Monofat-

hammedans in the town of Sitia will
