OPPOSED TO THE TARIFF BILL.
Japan and Argentine Dissatisfied With
the Dingley Measure.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The first
open and formal expressions of dissatis-
faction with the new tariff bill on the
part of foreign nations have come to
the State Department from Japan and
Argentine. The Japanese Minister has
expressed the regret of his Government
at the proposed adoption of the silk
schedules, that without promising
to help out the manufacturers of the
United States, threaten seriously the
important trade Japan has built up at
great expense with the United States
in raw and partly manufactured silk.
The Argentine Minister added his pro-
test, not as has been stated in the form
of a threat of reprisals, but in the usual
diplomatic form, against the proposed
duty on hides and other raw materials
coming from his country in great guam
titles to the United States.

AIR-SHIP CRAZE.
The Mysterious Aerial Light Still
HOVerS Over Kansas.

KANSAS CITY, April 1.-Notwith
standing that this is the first day of
April, the newspapers of Kansas City
will devote a great deal Of space to-
morrow morning to matter descriptive
of the "airShip," concerning which re-
ports have been coming in from Kansas
and Nebraska towns for nearly a month
past.
At s o'clock tonight, according to the
solemn declarations of many reputable
citizens of Kansas City, Kan, the
strange lights" appeared in the sky
south of that city, and caused the live
liest interest among the people. To
those who saw the lights all talk of
Venus or other planets will not be lis
tened to. AS one man put it: Venus
does not go zig-zag and cris-cross along
the horizon" as they declare this light
does.
The "Times" will also print inter-
views with several well-known citizens
of Kansas City, Mo-, who claim to have
seen the lights All who observed the
strange occurrence agree that the lights
disappeared in a northwesterly direc-
tion about o'clock.
Following these statements comes
SeISdllOIldl ulSpdlCI lTOIl CNcIeSt,
Brown County, Kan, about sixty miles
northwest of this city, to the effect
that the ''airship" appeared there
shortly after 8 o'clock. This dispatch
was received with doubt, and when
some verification was asked for by the
newspapers here the correspondents at
Everest telegraphed the following aff1-
davit, signed by men in business at
that place:
This is to certify that we, the un-
dersigned, saw and watched for some
time tonight the movements of large
and brilliant lights that travelled at
various nights over this city, and that
we believe it to be the same as seen at
various other points, and believe it to
be an airship. (SigneO J. E. Gum,

lieves it to be essential to the develop
ment of the facts, but the position of
