as soon as possible the data necessary
for the establishment of such a regime

treaty with Austria and the draft of a
customs tariff and to arrange to ascertain

right to establish an Independent customs

to do so. but he considered the compro-

which were incalculable. The present bill
did not infringe upon Hungarys rights
and interests, and. he aa.ied the govern

tempts similar to those of the Reichsrath
to prevent its becoming Il law.
This remark caused an uproar. after
which the premier concluded with appeal
ing to the House not to create difficulties,
as Hungary's interest. far from requiring
her to loosen her relationship with Aus

should be made closer and stronger. This

GERMS OF TROUBLE
Nay Turk in Investigation Of Two United

Washington, Dec. 2l.-The depart :
ment of state has undertaken an inves-
tigation of two very disa greeable in
cidents that may contain the germs of
serious trouble. These are the killin:,
by Japanese of two sailors attached II
the United States fleet on the Asiatic
station.
The exact conditions under which the
killing occurred are not known here
yet. and the state department is trying
to learn them through the United
United States cOnsuls in Japan, pre-
liminary to determining what steps
shall be taken to secure reparation If
it shall be found that the killing was,
as is expected, unjustifiable.
The first killing was of sailor
named Montgomery, formerly attached
to the Yorktown, while she was on the
Asiatic station. and the last was that
of Frank Epps a native of New York,
and an apprentice on the Olympia. He
was killed at Nagasaki.
Following so closely on the terrible
assault at Kobe. last September, of q
Japanese mob on the sailors of the

New York Dec. Eve are not called

United States Senator VIM. e. Chandler
today. to a reporter of the Mail and EX-
press. 1T is no time for the Republican
party to make an issue-a forced issue at
that-which must certainly result in fail
ure. The United States Senate would
never pass such a bill as is advocated by
the secretary of the treasury. The propo-
sition put forward by him would be de-
feated in the Senate by 20 votes and the
Republican party would suffer by it.
LAS ! said, our party is not required to
make an issue at the present time. There
was time when it was necessary for us
to make an issue on the slavery question
and we did. At the last national election
we made the issue on sound money and
won. But now there is need of
doing so. | think that in a few months,
when the treasury is full, will be time
enough for us to take up the currency.

HON. CHARLES .. HamL,H
Speaks at Boston on "rrade Relations Be.
tween tho United States and Canada"

Boston, Dec. 22.-Hon. Charles 8
Hamlin, ex-assistant secretary of the
treasury, spoke. today, before the
members of the shoe ana leather trade
at the New England Shoe and Leather
association. on the question of Trade
relations Between the United States
and Canada"
MT Hamlin, preliminary to his re-
marks, referred to the fur seal contro-
versy and its evident effect upon the
countries Interested Every admin
lstration. he said. has been steady in
ITS efforts to have the seal controversy
settled. The United States had thought
that the rights of the question should
De settied on Its merits alone. But the
Canadian government seemed anxious
to have the whole controversy settled
through large treaty. which would
settle many other involved disputes
which We're mixed up with the fur
seal controversy. And the President
mas showed his willingness to have
the disputed question settled in an am
icable manner by consenting to appoint
commissioners to agree on a general
treaty which might forever settle the
disputed questions.
Never before in the history Of the
government has any administration
gone so far in it's efforts to bring about
II possible, permanent settlement
which will be just and right to all con
cerned. And not only to settle the fur
seal controversy. but to establish a
general treaty which will wipe out fol
all time all serious differences that
cause from time to time so much irri-
tation.
After remarking upon the CONNER
cial treaty made with Canada in 1884
but which was only for raw materials
and the commercial convention in De-
troit in 1868, Mr.. Hamlin said: The
same interests that prompted that com
mercial convention then exist. today
and to even a greater degree do we
now need cordial corporation with our
northern neighbOrs. | believe 1t pos
sible TO include certain reciprocal
treaties by which may be set foreve,
