ARGENTINE WILL RETALIATE.
Some Very Plain Talk by One of the Pan
American Delegates.

Cincinnati, Ohio, June 2s.-The most
significant feature of the tour of the
pan-American commercial men thus far
was the expression on the tariff question
made today by Carlos Lix Klett of the
Argentine Republic, editor of the most
prominent newspaper in his country land
a specialist in wool, hides and skins.
The place where he voiced his views was
the Chamber of Commerce. He said in
part: II am perfectly sure that all of the
with the best wishes in regard to the
closer relations with the United States,
and I should feel very glad if the Argen-
tine Republic should find herself in the
same position, but unfortunately our
visit to the United States and our good
will are put aside by the tariff bill which
renders difficult the realization of closer
commercial relations with Latin-Ameri-
ca. The two principal products that we
export to the United States are wool and
hides. Wool has always been imported
into the United States free of duty, the
same as we import free of duty your
machinery and your petroleum. But
now the new tariff bill has imposed a
prohibitive tax upon our WOOL We have
been exporting to your country our hides
during the past 25 years free of duty,
but now you have taxed them. We have
been treated in an unfriendly manner
and at the same time you submit to us
this idea of reciprocity treaty, 1 am
very sorry to say that under the circum-
stances the statement of the Agentine
Republic will not accept any kind of
treaties.

MEANT TO MURDER WHOLE FAMILY.
And Chicago Man All But Carried Out
His Purpose.

Chicago, June 2S.-Wm. H. Copp, fore
man of the glazing department of the
Pullman company, armed with revolver
and razor today went to the home of his
wife's parents, DIR. and Mrs. Andrew
Rankin with the intention of numbering
them and his wife and his wite's sister.
He entered the rear door and first attacked
DIR. Rankin, who is seventy years old
He fired one shot at him and missed. DR..
Rankin grappled with Copp, who beat
him fearfully over the head with his re-
volver. After a savage struggle the men
fell to the floor. Copp slashed the old
physician across the throat with his razor
and the hands of both men were nearly
cut to pieces as they fought for the
weapon. DIR. Rankins struggled to the
mantlepiece where his own pistol lay and
shot Copp through the side, the ball
glancing from rib. During the fight be-
tween the men Mrs. Rankin was struck
on the head by Copp and severely cut and
her daughter, Mrs. Hermes, was pounded
about the face and one of her eyes de-
stroyed. Mrs. Hermes finally reached the
street and called for help. The members

EDITOR BAGLEY DEAD.
Proprietor Of Sunday Telegram Dies
In Boston.
WAS ON HIS WAY HOME FROM
NEW YORK.

His Wife Was with Him When He Suddenly
Passed Away from Heart Failure-was
One of Portland's Most Enterprisine
and Successful Publishers and by His
Death the City Loses One of Its Best
Citizens.
A telegram received in this city at a
late hour last night announced the sudden
death at Hotel Thorndike in Boston of
George B. Bagley, the editor and proprie-
tor Of the Portland Sunday Telegram and
the Portland Globe.
Mr.. Bagley WAS away on business
trip to New York and had gone for about
a week. He was accompanied by Mrs.
Bagley and arrived in Boston yesterday
Mr.. Bagley was suffering from pleurisy
and at a late hour last night the trouble
reached his heart, and he died from heart
failure.
Mr.. Bagley was one of Portland's most
respected citizens and an enterprisine
and very successful newspaper man.
When he first came to Portland he opened
small job printing office, and by his
efforts and knowledge of the business de.
veloped the plant into an exceedingly
valuable one. About this time he
also started the Portland Globe and
covered a large field, including all Of the
towns surrounding Portland. Ten years
ago Mr.. Bagley thought that another
Sunday paper was needed in Portland
and he commenced the publication of the
Sunday telegram, which he made e very
sue cessful publication.
Mr. Bagley was highly esteemed by all
who knew him and his sudden death will
come as shock to many friends in Port
land. He was a very genial gentleman
and one who was very well liked among
his newspaper associates. By his busi-
ness sagacity enterprising activity and
thorough acquaintance with newspaper
methods, Mr.. Bagley took high rank
among the publishers in Portland, and
by his death the city loses one of it's best
citizens and most energetic business men.
Mr.. Bagley was prominently connected
with several large business corporations
and has been identified with many of the
city's most successful enterprises.
An Associated Press despatch says:
George B. Bagley, editor and proprietor
of the Portland Sunday Telegram, died
at Hotel Thorndike at 5 O'Clock this af-
ternoon of pneumonia. Mr.. Bagley came
on from New York Friday, having ap-
parently recovered from severe attack
of the disease, but on Saturday he had
relapse and his wife was summoned
from Portland Yesterday he seemed
somewhat better. but this morning he be-
gan sinking and died few hours later.
His remains were taken in charge by
local undertaken and will be sent to Port
land tomorrow.

HIDES DISPOSED OF.
A Twenty Per Cent Ad VaIorem
Duty Voted.
SENATE MADE GOOD PROGRESS ON
TARIFF BILL YESTERDAY.

The Trust Question Appears to Bother the
The Senators More Than Anything Else
just Now-General Discussion of Way
to Deal With Them.
Washington, June 2s.-The Senate
made good progress on the tariff bill to.
day, dlsposing of the paragraphs relating
to hides which have been the source of
much controversy. AS finally agreed on,
the duty on hides is placed at 20 per cent
ad valorem, in place of 1-2 cents per
pound as originally reported by the
finance committee. The discussion was
protracted, drifting into general debate
on trusts, and from that back to the
sugar trust. Mr.. Smith of New Jersey
spoke at length against the duty on
hides, while Mr.. Allen of Nebraska sup
ported the duty. The new paragraph
was agreed to, 80 to 20, one Democrat,
Rawlins of Utah, and several Populists
and silver Republicans voting with the
Republicans IN the affirmative
The incidental Idebate on trusts led to
severe arraignment of the sugar trust by
Messrs. Caffery and Lindsay and a general
discussion of means to deal with trusts
by Mr.. Hoar. Among other paragraphs
disposed of during the day were all those
relating to gloves, a substitute for the
paragraph on live animals, iron ore and
stained glass windows.
Washington, June 2S.-In the Senate
today the resolution authorizinp the
President to invite foreign governments
to participate in the trans Mississippi ex-
position at Omaha, was agreed to. The
tariff bill was then taken up. The pur-
pose had been to take the paragraphs re-
lating to hides, but owing to the illness
of Mr.. Smith of New Jersey, who is in
terested, Mr.. Allison consented to let the
subject go over.
